It 1 like him In only one regard; the act beer little if any relation to one another. Each la complete and perfect in detail, and each might be lined aa a play by Itself, or be et Into another play with out much dlturbance to either. In one re gard, at least, Mr. Fitch 1 the atage man ager' delight. If it become necessary to , n.,ll.nlBnM fnr unv roBiiin an I ruiiririi . i..i.iiniiv.. , ...... . act or a scene may be omitted anywhere and the continuity of the play I in nowise disturbed. In this piece, though. Mr. Fitch open with a cliurniing comedy act. and Im mediately proceed to tragedy of the most sincere tvpe. each of hi successive acta differing from the other, each plunging the heroine a little deeper into the abyss, and not one Df them redeeming the promise made In the first. Betty Singleton, queen of the London stage and "toast of the town. loves a duke and weds him. He drinks and they quarrel; she leaves .hi home and he seeks her out and begs her to return. She is Jealous of another woman and fondly de termines to sacrifice herself that her hus band may be free and wed the other woman. To do this, she professes to lovs a man who ha long pursued her, and her husband believes her. Betty's cup 1 em bittered by the poison poured into It by the selfishness of a girl she befriended when at the theater. The end la easy to guess. Miss Allen lavish on the role of Betty the wealth of her talent for audi roles. It I quite within her scope, the character being that of. a gentle, loving woman wfTo wants to cling to the object of her affec tions and who cheerfully give over her own for his happiness. She la misguided by her own affection and wrecks her life because she has not the courage to face an. apparent evil and not the confidence to trust her husband. In a measure It is Hermlone and Perdlta combined, but at the. best It la not a satisfying part. It docs afford much opportunity for varying moods In which Miss Allen excels, and allows her to use all her little tricks of vocal and facial expression and to dress herself charmingly In the. gowns of a century and more agone. But Betty is not a heroic figure In any sense, and while she has the sympathy of the audience It !' for her, sufferings, and 'does not excuse her apparent weakness. ' One fancies one sees in the first act, and especially In the trick! speech, when Miss Allen comes before the curtain and addresses an imaginary audience, some thing prophetic of her approaching fare well -to the stage. It 1a known that she ha been married since the season began and It has been whispered that she In tend to give over the glory of the mimic world for that of the real at the close of the present season. -It truth there be in this, then the speech she has In the person ot potty ' .Singleton , Is .. most gpt and appropriate, and Its sincerity is surely appreciated by a host of warm friends who will follow Miss Alien Into her home Ufa with only warm wishes for her well being and the fondest hope that she real ises mors of ths real Joys of living than fell to the lot of poor Betty. ,. Isable Irving; Is sharing with ths star the honors for a well developed character In the selfish, shallow and vain Roxanila, who calmly accepts favors from one and all and does nothing good la return. In the third act, when Roxanna topples over the newly built happiness of her Betty by telling a lot' ot Idle gossip and scandal under the guise of befriending and warning her. Miss Irving does a really splendid bit of acting. Mrs. Fannie Addison Pitt as the dowager duchess has the best comedy character in the play and does It as she does all her work, with an ar tlstlo finish that is delightful. The male characters In the piece are less clearly defined than those for the women. Mr, Conway Tearle's duke of Malmsbury Is a creature of negative virtues and posi tive vices. He rids himself of hla vlcea, but ha cannot bring his virtues far enough to the front to hold his wife. Mr. Tearle makes this phase of the character quite clear. Mr. Hunter's Lord Phillips Is much the same sort of man, although he does show at times to a little better advantage than the duke. Mr. Short has a silly boy part, which he does s very well, and Mr. Allen affords a much relished flavor of comedy by his lucidly expressed notion of the old .Scotch theatrical manager. The play la splendidly stsged. It opens In a green room of the London theater In which Mistress Betty !s the leading woman;, from there It proceeds to the Malmsbury family seat, where Mra. Betty Is found, surrounded by ducal finery and unhappy; the third act iset in the garden of an inn on the banks of the Thames, and is most effective, and the final act Is In a London lodging house. A year elapses between each act, making the time of ths play three years, and accounting In a measure for the sharp contrasts afforded. A large audience witnessed the play last night and paid to Miss Allen and her as sociates the tribute of enthusiastic ap plause for the excellent work done in their efforts to make the. piece seem Interesting. 'The Toast of the Town" will be given at a special matinee .thlu afternoon and again this evening. v POOL ROOM MEN DENY CRIME Plead .Hot Gallty.ta Charge uC Keep, la aad Selllas Manor At ith sat License.

To the Editor of The Rre: Chicago papers announced the death on Saturday last in that city of Miss Mary Louise Ollmore at the advanced age of 77 years. This event should have a more than passing Interest to residents of Omaha. whne recollection go back to the period of Nebraska's territorial history from 1R54 to 1W7 during all of which time the Gll more family was an Influential factor In the official and social life ot this city. Addison R. Gllmore was the first receiver of the land office located in Omaha. He came here from Illinois a the appointee of President Franklin Pierce, and was an ar dent adherent to the Douglas democracy of that day. Stopping first at Bellevue, with Oovernor Burt. Judge Fenner Fergu son and other officials, he removed to Omaha when it became the territorial cap ital, and where he tiled after the explia tlon of his term of service about the rear 18"t. He was a man of marked character istics, with a full sense of personal honor and Independence, and was a resolute de fender and practlcer of honesty and recti tude In public office. The name is still well remembered here and In Barpy county, where It Is preserved by Gllmore station on tlte T'nlnn Pacific railroad. Mary Louise, the elder of hi two daugh ters, wa well known and Is affectionately remembered as the first principal of Brow nell Hall, while that institution was located at Saratoga. Going later to Chicago with the family she took a position In the post office, there and wa retained In service, under all changes of administration, to the end of her long life. This exceptlial ten ure was due to the high Intelligence, rare fidelity and special aptitude displayed In the work assigned her. In a long, patient, self-sacrificing life, given far more to the welfare of others than to her own. In the sincerity and dex-otedness of her home life and In her Christian character, she came near to the ideal of pure and noble woman hood. She was an active and assiduous member of the Trotestant Episcopal church. Besides that her life, her teachings and her example would have been of themselves a creed to believe In, to Inspire and to ex alt, regardless of articles of faith. Her many friends In Omaha and her pupils scattered throughout the state, now better wives and better mothers because of her precepts and Influence as their teacher In Brownell Hall, will cherish her memory with peculiar regard.

Y'estcrday waa a busy day at the Audito rium. All day long there was a lively hustle among automobile men In getting their machines Into the big arena and lined up for the show which opens this afternoon. The machines were hauled up the horse entrance at a rapid rate by three machines under "full head of steam," and then pushed Into their places on the ex hibition floor by hand. The little Baby Ro came In soon after the monster tour ing car Thomas and the Stephens-Duryea flyer slid up the Incline like greased light ning. The additional lighting arranged over the exhibits will be all In place by noon today and the doors will be opened at 1 o'clock for the hist peep at the big show. While the show will open at 1 o'clock this afternoon, as Is customary with auto mobile shows, the real opening will take place tonight.

This picture show will require about forty-five minutes for presentation, but It will be divided into two parts, the first part going on at 8:30 and the second part at 9:30. In order to let the children of Omaha get a peep at the big show Manager Gll lan and the exhibitors have decided to ad mit all under 16 years of sge for 10 cents.

The show will be open In the afternoon from 1 o'clock until and In the evening from 7.30 until 10:30. MAN HELD FOR LEAVING WIFE Frank Krhraetter Arrested far Desert - lag Wlta W ha Has Elahteea. Month-Old lafaat. A complaint of wife abandonment was filed against Frank Schroetter in the police court Tuesday morning. The complaint was sworn' to by the wife who stated her hus band deserted her last May. "The woman carried a baby If months of age. Since last May, she said, she lived with her father at 99 South Twenty-fourth street. Her father ties two wooden legs and Is reported as being unable to support his daughter snd child sny longer. MUSIC AND MUSICIAXS At the Lyric theater last night the fa mous French violinist, Henri Martenu, played a most scholarly and beautiful pro gram to a handful of about fifty muslo lovers who were familiar with his name and reputation. It Is a sad comment upon Omaha culture that such a master musi cian should be passed by without Interest or patronage. When he plays In the greet cities of Europe It Is difficult at the last moment to obtain even standing room, and here In America his tour has been one of triumph. Yet In Omaha ne played to an almost empty house. Do people In this town read any good Journals upon topics of general Interest and Information? Why, then, should they be Ignorant of the fame of Henri Marteau? 'The Gingerbread Man" ran pack Boyd's theater to the doors a master like Marteau goes begging for an audience. However, what the house lacked In number It made up In enthu siasm. The great violinist seemed to re alise the sympathetic quality of his audi ence and played a If thousands were listening. He was conscientious snd gra cious to a degree, giving two encores In the course of the evening and altogether behaving In marked contrast to certain celebrities who have lately visited our city and not found It worth while to give us of their best. The program opened with that most beau tiful and profound of all Beethoven's son atas for the piano and violin. "The Kreut ser." Mr. Marteau gave It a masterly In terpretation. His technique 1 marvelous and crystal clear. He plays with a round, deep and noble tone. To a poetic tempera ment he add the scholars balance. The combination I satisfying wonderfully sat isfying. In the Bach air his tone took on the depth and beauty of the 'cello. Such sonority! Such classic and dignified beauty of style! The Brahms Hungarian dances were In complete contrast to the air and given with a swing snd dash which roused the greatest? delight. The Goddnrd number, "Adagio Pathetlque," was changed. Mr. Marteau playing lnsteinl the lovely and familiar "Legende" of Wlenla sky and giving it a dreamy, enchanting reading. Shu ret' s ' "Farfalla" Sparkled with life and showed still another phase of Mr. Marteau's genius. The final offering was Vieuxtemps' colos sal fifth concerto in A minor. It was difficult for the audience lo control Its enthusiasm until the close of the number. The concerto bristles' with terrifically dif ficult passages. Marteau conqueFod them without seeming effort, ' Carrying hi lis teners along with him at a dlxry pace. At the end only another appearance would satisfy them. He finally, after five or six recalls, came out and played Puganlnl'g Etude opus 12. Oh, music devotees of Omaha, what you missed! The opportunity will not come again right to your door. M. Goellner Is a splendid pianist and a worthy accompanist of M. Marteau. His solp numbers, Chopin's nocturne n G and the "Polanalse" in A flat, created much enthusiasm. One could .wish for a little more poetry and sentiment in his Interpre tations, perhaps, but why Beek the flaw when the whole was so good! I'm agraid M. Marteau will not Include Omaha in hla itinerary again. We j who went to the recital were ashamed of our town and felt like hiding our head. Mr. Marteau practically presented us with his genius. That he came out smiling' and played his best showed' tbe kind .of .stuff he la made of a gentleman.. 'well as a mas ter. Good luck to him. ' MAP Y' LEARNED." YOUNG MAN NIPPED AT DEPOT Yonth (haraed with Grass ; Lareeay Arrested Just Befnr Learlna the City. E. J. King was ' arrested yesterday afternoon at the Union station by Detective Ferris, who took the man to the city Jail on a charge of grand larceny. King was prepared to leave the city. The prisoner Is charged with stealing valuable articles from three roomers at the boarding house of Mrs. L. Meyers, 22Z7 Dodge street, where King resided since he came to Omaha. A miscellaneous collection of stolen article was found in two suit cases can-Jed by King. Mrs. Meyers reported to the police she saw King going through one of her rooms and questioned him. He said he was look ing for money. When aevoral roomers compla d of losses and' It waa learned that King had packed his suit cases de tectives were soon hot on his trail. King Is a young man, with the appear ance of education. He came to Omaha from Chicago In January and secured work with Allen Brothers. In connection with the arrest of King a singular incident occurred. When the prisoner was taken Into the city Jail Patrolman W. R. Wilson happened to be there and recognised King as the young man he befriended at the Burlington sta tion when King arrived here a few months ago. King was sitting In a corner of the Burlington waiting room when Wilson ac costed him in a kindly way. King began to cry and said he had never been away from home before. Patrolman Wilson took him over to a restaurant and bought his breakfast. .King lived at 4J04 Michigan avenue, Chi cago, before coming to Omaha.. Among the articles found on King when searched was what Is known among con fidence men aa a "flath- roll," which con sists of a currency note wrapped around a bunch of paper in a manner to convey the idea that the bundle represents consid erable wealth. In King's case the bundle represented $2. HOW THE BEE HELPS THE FUND Example of Letters Comlnar la from nbscrlbers Who Are Extend' Ina subscriptions.

SECOND PEACE CONFERENCE Baron Rosen Present Suctfistion for Another 8ession at The Harne. DATE EARLY IN SUMMER PROPOSED Pronoaal to Limit Freedom at Aetloa la International Affairs Will Meet with Onaa. slttaa. WASHINGTON. April J.-Vliexpettedly the Russian government today made an other movement toward the reconvention of Ths Hague conference, when Baron Rosen, the Russian ambassador, presented to Secretary Root a proposal for ths re convention of the conference at The Hague early In the coming summer snd indicated that The Netherlands government had as sented to the proposition. It had been sup posed that owing to the complexity of the problems Involved even In the arrangement of a tentative program for the conference and the delays caused by the necessity ot persuading the Swiss government to make the time and program for the approaching Red Croe convention conform as far as possible to The Hague project. It would scarcely be possible for the conference to assemble earlier than a late date next fall. There were seasonable objections, however, to such a date and It was Intimated that It might be necessary to defer the .conven tion until next year. Will Accept Invitation. The mutter having been left In large part to the governments of Russia and The Netherlands to adjust the first named, be cause the proposal for the conference had originated with Emperor Nicholas, and the latter, for the reason that the host should be consulted wlien it concerned a matter of date for the conference. The fact that they have agreed makes It probable that the other signatory powers to the original Hague convention which have accepted the Invitation to attend the next conference will agree to the proposed date, although the short period of time available will make it necessary for some of tho powers which have given little attention to the subject recently to do some rapid diplo matic work In order to arrange programs according to their own desires. For it is. certain that this proposed Russian program, as conveyed to the State department today by Baron Rosen, while not meeting possible objections, will at least call forth some projects differing materially in scope and detail from the Russian plan. Subjects for Discussion. A casual reading of the proposal discloses nothing that is calculated to arouse oppo sition on the part of the United States gov ernment, but unless the Algeclras confer ence has materially modified the views of certain of the European great powers there Is a noable disinclination to enter Into any engagements that would further restrict the independence of action of a power in International matters. The first paragraph of the Russian program is re garded as tending toward this restriction. In that It makes It easier for powers to engage In mediation or arbitration, and In consequence enables a majority ot the powers to force a settlement upon one ot their number, when It would much rather protect the use of strong diplomatic meas ures snd even proceed to the verge of forcibls compulsion. Several of the Russian proposals are really In substance the same as those pro posed by The Hague conference Itself as proper for consideration by another confer ence, but there is a suggestion of the last great war in the reference to a regulation for "opening hostilities," for the Russians have never admitted the legality In Inter national law of the attack upon the Rus sian warships in Chemulpo harbor and at Port Arthur without, It was ssserted, due notice. The suggestion relative to the recognition of private property rights In shipping cargoes will find ready far with the state department, for this government has been foremost in advocating this for many yean.

BUT ONE QUARTER OF GUNS EFFECTIVE This Condition Brought About by a miter of Coast Artillerists Who Caa Mas bat Oae Fonrth o( Defenaea. WASHINGTON, April .-Some surpris ing facts regarding the Inadequacy of the coast artillery force was brought out In the recent examination of Secretary Taft by the senate committee on military affairs. The secretary presented data showing that the present authorized force of coast ar tillery is sufficient to provide one relief for only 34 per cent of the guns, mines, range finders, etc., now actually Installed or au thorised for the coast defenses of the United States. This Is exclusive of re serves, supporters, etc., and Is based upon the actual number of officers and men re quired If the entire force of coast artillery could be mustered in lino and each man marched to his position. It was slao shown that this 1 an average snortago ot more than DO per cent In the coast artillery com panies and that due to this shortage less than 25 per cent of the defenses can be actually manned by troops now in service. In esse of a sudden outbreak of war 7E per cent of the coast defenses would have to remain Idle until such time as volun teers or raw recruits would be trained to handle the high-power guns, mines and position-finding system, etc. This great shortage le said to be due to the fact that the pay Is not sufficient to Induce men to enlist for the roast artillery. To obviate these conditions Representative Hull of Iowa has presented a bill In congress which carries Increased pay for certain grades In the coast artillery that require technical skill and Increases the author ised strength by about 6,000 officers and men. This bill, If passed, will increase the authorised strength to 46 per cent of that required for one relief. - Secretary I.oeb Gets a Fall. WASHINGTON. April 8.
