addition to the opportunity af-
rded by the holiday each offered
attractions that would draw out
liberal patronage under ordinary conditions,
with the result that the box office had one
of its busiest seasons of the year ao far.
Nothing offered presented anything esp
oitfCly novel. The Rogers brother proved
aln that the estimation of their ability
entertainers waa well founded. Their
rformanc waa one of the most pleas-
1 and generally attractive of the changes
ever put on. "The I"rlnce of Pllsen' and
"Ruster Brown" alike showed that their
attractiveness has waned but little with. the
suing years. "Checkers" waa the only
new thing to strike the city, and it cer
tainly created nothing that could be called
a furore. It had the advantage of holiday
leniency, and that was about what saved
It from being a complete failure. The
much vaunted sensationalism of "Checkers"
did not materialize In Omaha. The Bur
wood and the Orpheum enjoyed their cus
tomary patronage.
One of the thoughts that must make ua
pausu and direct our reflections to the mu
tability of earthly things is the proposal to
give a benefit In New York for the relief
of Henry Clay Barnaby and Mrs. 'William
II. McDonald, who waa Maria Stone. It Is
sad, indeed, to think that these people who
contributed so much to the pleasure of the
American public should be reduced to the
straits in which they are found. For years
As Brooke Travers Mr. Morrison will find
a splendid opportunity for the exTeis of
his well known ability as a light come
dian, while Idles Elliott, Mr. Iavies and
Miss Hill all have good parts. The per
formance of the piny will begin at a
matinee on 8unday afternoon and will con
tinue each evening during the wek. with
matinee on Tuesday, Thursday and Satur
day. Edward R. Salter's extensive company of
singing comedians and sparkling soubrettes,
presenting the bitf all new, two-act laugh,
"Ikey and Abey," Is to be the attraction
at the Krug th-ater for two days, start
ing with a matinee today. Of the twenty
eight special musical and vaudeville offer
ings Incidentally Introduced the numbers
presented by J. Edward Pierce and Miss
Marie Roslyn are perhaps one of the all
Important features. These artists during
their twenty-flve-mlnute specialty intro
duce seven complete and distinct character
izations, Including th "Society Pair," "The
Rpanlxh Whirlwind Dancers," "The Squaw
Man and Indian Maid," etc., and their
breezy travesty, "Rehearplng a Tragedy,"
and operatic burlesques.
The attraction at the Krug theater for
two nights, starting Tuesday, December 1
will be "Texns," a new play dealing with
life In the southwest from the pen of J.
MaulUIn Peigl. The plot la the recital of
the love of Texas West, daughter of a
breezy ranch owner of Valverde county,
for Jack Dallam, cowboy and Texas ranger.
Ieah Russell, styled "The Belle of the
UhHto," will keep up the mood of mirth
with her latent Yiddish stories and take
offs. As the cowboy and the coon, Qllll
han and Perry are listed to keep the
rlnlbles agitated. Edward Gray, the tail
tale teller, a new comer, will contribute
to the facetious, while Fred GeJetti's com
ical simian entertainers and new kino

culated to create several hours' happy diversion.

shock to the public It had been the im

firm were well fixed financially. Indeed, at
the time of Mr. McDonald's death be had

nate Investment and an unsuccessful at
tempt to keep alive Interest In the work of
the Bostonlans swept away the accumula
tion and Mr. McDonald and Mr. Barnaby
were left high and dry financially. Several
unsuccessful attempts have been made to
revive public Interest In Mr. Bamaby, but
his days of activity on the stage have ended
advanced civilization. Messrs. Broadhurst'
and Currle, the well known New York
managers, are sponsors for this play and
have staged It lavishly. The cast, too, la
an excellent one and Is headed by Mlsa
Mabel Dixey and Charles D. Coburn, sup

Ernest Allen, W. E. Mack, Hat tie Foley,

This English classic, with noble and ele

with a delloate French comedy by that
prince of comedy writers, Mollere. The
play chosen Is full of sparkling wit and
the keenest satire. Mollere's "Le Bour

Its plot and numberless ludicrous situations

so much success In Wiseman's "Hidden

Monsieur .Taurdaln, the upstart, who wishes
to make an entry Into polite society, but
Is without the necessary qualifications. In
order to fit himself for this position he
surrounds himself with various professors
and courts the acquaintance of an Impe

he .hopes, through a marriage, to be ac
cepted. John A. McSliano. '08; James W.

the other prominent characters of the play
and promise much amusement. Ray

the grand opera and the HIplronie Itself,
making the first of the week extremely
lively for confirmed tlwater-goers.
Mr. Belasco. who makes only one produc
tion a season, this year put forward "The
Rose of the Rancho," by Richard Wilton
Tully snd himself. The scene Is laid in
8outhem California, Just after the ced.ng
of that territory by Mexico, so that the
atmosphere Is aa much Spanish as Ameri
can. The play waa produced in Boston
two weeks ago. The cast, which Includes
no slar. Is preceded on the program by
two explanatory quotations:
On July 7, 1. the American ling wss

of California taken by the United States

the United States government. The offi

rich voluptuous beauty that contributes an

Miss Anna Held appeared last Tuesday
night at the Broadway theater in "'1 he

"Neptune's Daughter," a striking novelty,
haa been Introduced. This is the e at ranee
of King Neptune and twenty-four mer
malda through ten feet of water in the
center of the Time tank, and their
descent through the water at the end of
the second scene. The mechanical devices
by which this feat Is accomplished was in
vented by H. L. Bowdoln, a New York
civil engineer. The story which Is based
upon this Invention was written by Manuel
Klein and Edward P. Temple, with musio
by Mr. ivieln. "Neptune's Daughter" Is In
three scenes, the flrBt showing the coast
of Brtttalny, with a shipwreck. In which
a little girl Is cast up by the sea and
named "Noptune's Daughter." Th sec
ond scene shows this girl, eighteen years
later, betrothed to a handsome sailor, from
whom she haa parted through pique. The
disconsolate sailor, wandering by the sea,
U enticed by a band of mermaids to fol
low them Into the ocean and sinks from
sight beneath the waves. The Hippodrome
tank of water represents the sea, Annette,
tha littia sir! Is named, la taken by
King Neptune Into his barge to search for
her lost lover, and she, too, sinks beneatn
th wuvea with NeDtune and his mermaids.
The third and closing scene la a bewildering
panorama representing the court of King
Neptune, where the lovers are reunited and
their mnj-riiLire celebrated by a ballet, "Un
der the Sea." The cast cf principals to
be seen in "Neptune's Daughter" Includes
Miss Marie Louise Gribbon, Miss Rose La

Clock Made of Glass
A somewhat futile feat of painstaking
Ingenuity haa been accomplished after six
years continuous work In th construction
of a working clock, every part of which
except the springs is made of glass. The
constructor Is a Bohemian glasa polisher
named Joseph Bayer, who lives In There-
lenthal and who is now 71 years old.
Th plates and pillars which form the
framework are of glasa and are bolted to
gether with glass screws. The dial plate
hands, shafts and cogwheels are of glass,
and glass wedges and pins are used for
fastening the various part of the running
gear torether.
All these part are ground to the average
proportions of the metal parts of other
clocks of th same size. The teeth of the
cogwheel are cut with minute exactness.
Only tha balance wheel la heavier and
thicker than It would be In an ordinary
clock, but It Is fashioned so as to properly
control the movement of the machine,
Like th clock Itself, the key with which
it Is wound Is of glass. The completion
