Mr. Kills.
A very good-slued auli( nt e whs out last
night to greet the old time favorite of
Omaha. Mr. Hans Albert, who. with the i
assistance of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Gahril
Mrs. Gale and Mr. Fred Kllis. gave a very
delightful concert at the Boyd theater.
Mr. Albert was In a most excellent and
mellow mood and played with that sym
pathy for which he has always been not"d.
In response to the applause of a most de
lighted audience he gave an an encore a very
touching arrangement of "Old Folks nt
Home." It is with gTeat repret that we
part from Mr. Albert as a soloist and only
trust that In the studio work he takes tip
he will find as much pleasure as he has !n
times past given to Ids hearers. .
Of Mr. Ofthm too much cannot be said as I
1.0 ms conscientious worn, nis pcnece ,ccu-
nique ana oeautirui conception or me coin
posers' thoughts. His rendition of thp
"Dedication," by Schumann-Liszt, In Ms
flrst series, the "Gavotte" of Gluck-Brahnis
o.r.d the "Polonaise" of Paderewskl In the
second S'Tles, iwere all given with wonder
ful style and finish, proving In his versa
tility his right to rank with the real artists
of the present time.
This was Mrs. Gahm's flrst appearance ns
professional and most nobly did she
acquit herself, playing her beautifully toned
and picturesque harp with a charming ease
of manner and delicacy of touch, showing
the result. of the hard work she has been j
doing under the Instruction of Slgnor En- :
rieo Tramontl. The "Welch Melody" was
very much enjoyed. Her friends remem
bered her ln that best of ways, by deluging
her with flowers.
Mrs. Kate Norcross Gale ia a new addi
tion to the ranks of Omaha's sopranos. She
possesses a mezzo voice of very good range,
which was at Its best In the song of Pas
eard's "Good Day, Marie." As an encore
she sang In a very delightful manner "Love
is a Bubble."
A much felt need In Omaha of a fne
basso-baritone has been supplied by Mr.
Ellis, who has one of those absolutely true
voices, which nothing can shako from the
pitch, having besides a tender and sympa
thetic quality, which. !n addition to h:s
thoroughly artistic manner of singing,
makes his appearance as a soloist a delight
to bis audience. His rendition of "Ocdlpe
Colone" was very dramatic, and ln the bal
lads he sang to equal advantage.
Taken as a whole the eoneert was up to a
high mark of professional work, only prov
ing what talent we have right here In our
own city that we have but too seldom
heard.
NEW SENATOR TAKES HIS SEAT
John M. Genrln of Orenon Sworn
After Discussion of Form
f Certificate. '
WASHINGTON. Dec. IM.-John M. Gearln,

was present In the senate chamber today
when the senate convened. His credentials
ton. but before he took the oath of office '
J V. I ..,,11..... . f .. TT. .
Mr. Burrows, chairman of the committee
on elections, Interposed an objection, say
ing that the certificate of election was de
fective in that It was provided that Mr.
Gearln shall serve "until his successor is
elected." He said that the governor had
no constitutional right to place such a
restriction upon his appointment. He,
however, withdrew the objection after Mr.
Spooner and Mr. Toller had auggested that
the certificate Is not without precedent.
Mr. Spooner agreed that the words ob
jected to were surplusage, but pointed out
that they do not invalidate the appoint
ment, which, he said, was regular ln other
respects.
Mr. Gearln was then escorted by Mr.
Fulton to the vice president's desk, where
the oath of office was administered. Mr.
Gearln took a seat on the democratic side
of the chamber. He is the flrst democrat
to occupy a seat In the senate from
Oregon since 1887, when Mr. Slater retired
from that body.
The bill extending for one year the time
allowed the Council City and Solomon
River railroad of Alaska for the comple
tl in of Its line was passed.

Views Get Too Close to
Home.
She is very mode-st and retiring, though
holding a public ejfflce, and though Inter
ested In charity to a certain extent, she
shuns publicity. Over her vigorous pro
tests, her name had been mentioned ln a
paper in connection with her charity work.
She was nn A Knuth Omaha r-a r V,
J for the home of some poor people she was
helping. He was on the same car and sit
ting next to her reading' about her charity
work. He didn't know hr and neither did
she know him. She was anxious to know
I what the people thought of a girl's name
being mentioned In the paper In connec
tion with charity work, Finally she said:
"What do you think of a woman who
would allow her name to bo published that
way?" and she pointed to the article he
was reading.
"I don't think much of her," he replied.
"It Just shows a woman will do anything
to get her name ln the paper."
She gasped and he soon learned she wa
the woman ln the pHpnr.
Without another word he pulled the liell

Th battle royal now going on between

that the immortal msxim of peae-o on earth

Mr. Elboiurn hus a suy coming. He heard
Thursday morning th.it Mr. Breen Intended
to write him a letter of a scorching na

him the inspiration to explain:
"I underhtand Breen has fixed me up a
couple' of opinions on that lubel business.
Wellt when I want anything from Breen in
the way of nfi opinion I will ask for it. 1
Inve run this office during the incumbency
of three different city attorneys and I have
had to sit down on every one of them.
As Bill Klbourn, a private citizen, 1 might
say that resolution Is of no effect, but as
William F.lbtnirn. city clerk. It is not my
province to hold a resolution passed by
the council in bail and I don't intend to
do It."

"Mr. Elliourn'r orlnlon is on the disk
in there and he can get It when he conns
after it." said City Attorney Breen.' "He
talked oyer the matter with Mr. Herdmun
and said he would follow the advice of the
department if we would give hi in a written
opinion. When Mr. Mahoney came Into

what Klbourn had said and he agreed to
wult until I had seem El bourn ngnln.
"I failed to connect witn Klbourn and
Mr. Mahoney flled his suit. Mahoney told
me he had waited, and as I failed to cull
him up he culled up Klbourn and talked
with him. Klbourn. he said, told him lie
didn't want any advice from this office or
from any ono else, so Mahoney flled the
suit. If EllHiurn loses the suit the costs
will certainly be taxed to him. and If the
city doesn't have to pay any costs 1 will
be stttisiled."
FIGHT TO SAVE TENDERLOIN
Kflortn of Property Owner to Mate
Off Track Kserted la
Coort Trial.
After the attorney hod stipulated a to
the facts involved in the Goldsmitb-Krug
injunction suit against the Union Pacific
to prevent the laying of tracks at Elev
enth street and Capitol avenue, argument
proceeded before Judge Troup Thursday
morning.
Attorney W. H. Pennock. associated with
Isador Zlegler, for the plaintiffs, admitted
that If the railroad has a franchise for
the use of the streets at the point In
question, then plaintiffs ought not to pre
vail, but It is th contention of plaintiff's
attorneys that the road has no such
franchise, only a city license or ordinance,
and so should be estopped from "irre
parably damaging" the property of Gold
smith and Krug.
In his answer for the railroad company,
Edson Rich set up that the company did
not admit anything a to tt.e ownership of
the property In question, but did admit
that Goldsmith occupies the building with
a saloon. The answer says the room
over the saloon are. to the knowledge of
plaintiffs, occupied by prostitutes, who
carry on an unlawful business. It is al
leged in the answer that the railroad Is
proceeding under authority granted by an
ordinance passed by the city council on
December S and 12.
In his argument Mr. Blch contended that
In any event the railroad 1 among the
corporations that have the right .to the
use of the streets, within reasonable
limits, when necessary to the conduct of
their business, even against the protest
of property owners. He pointed out that
1 the extension of tracks being made at
I Ninth street and Capitol avenue will not

ten or twelve feet of space between a
passing car and the Goldsmith saloon.
Mr. Rich effectively .called attention to
the fact that the advent of the track
meant the complete transformation of a
district whose only Industry is prostitu
tion of character into a district of laud
able business enterprises, ueh a would
be a boon to Omaha.
At the conclusion of the arguments the
attorney for plaintiffs agreed to submit a
brief to the court on. Suturday. Mr. Rich
said he would submit a reply brief next
Monday. Judge Troup will give his decl
I sion after reading the briefs and mill not
dei ty the ruling any longer than necessary.

'Nancy Brown" tripped across the stsge
t the Krug theater last night, an t made
good. What If we do not know any of the
people whose names are listed on the bill as
the principals? We surely know when we
are pleased by the work of the folks on
the stage, and that bunch must have
pleased us or we wouldn't have laughed
as we did, and clapped our hands and
otherwise have encouraged them to greater
exertions. It Isn't the biggest company

anel It nearly all comes right, so that the
vei-y Wst effect Is achieved. Some new
stunts In the way of chorus formations and
sts-ge pictures are given, none of them
especially wonderrul, but all pleasing In
the highest degree.
Mary Marble, who is heading the com
pany, doesn't look It, bui demonstrates
that she Is the possessor of a wholesome
fund of humor, s good conception of what '
fun Is, and above nil has a Voice thot 1s
pleasing, both In conversation and song,
and which she uses with excellent effect.
1 The songs she sings are simple enough.
but they are well sung, and that Is much
nnre to be desired than an ambitious
effort only partly achieved. Florrle Clem
nts, th soubretle of the company, etso
has a melodious voice, and Is further the
captain of a pair of nimble feet that caper
right daintily ln connection with one of the
many song hits of the bill.
OslKirnee Clrmrinn slnfrs two solos in a
splendid baritone and was awarded last
nluht by many recalls for his work. Wil
liam C. Mandevllle is the chief funmaker
of the outfit, and Is n continual provocative
of laughter, his supernaturally lugubrious
all- and manner and the songs he sings In
a sepulchral voice being his strong points.
Ben Lodgu and Robert H. llartry. his
coadjutors, are also good. Frank Craven
Iliads a fine comedy Freiie hman and David
Audrnda is an excellent copy of Joe Coyne

which Is not only good to look upon, but
pluawtnt to listen to. "Nancy Brown" will
remain the rest of the week, with a matinee
on Saturday.
