Pavlowa and Mordkin at Special Matinee Omaha, St Louis and Chicago Only Towns Which Get Two Per formances by Russians. Pavlowa and Mordkin will appear at two performances In Omaha Instead of one. A special matinee Thursday has been' an nounced. This means that Omaha gets two performances, where Philadelphia, Wash ington and Baltimore get but one. Chicago and St. Louis outside of New York Itself are the only cities in the United plates this side of thti Pacific coast which get two performances The matinee was arranged by telegraph with Bait Lake City Tuesday morning, Shirley Olymplus, representative of the Russians, acting at this end. "Bo many people were being turned away at the box office all morning," said" Mr. Olympins. "that 1 thought It a shame that they should be disappointed. Omaha may count Itself fortunate. Only Chicago and St. louls get two performances except New Tork and the Pacific coast metro poles, Los Anfreles and Ran Francisco. In Washington we play once, a matinee, and that same evening in Batllmore, a thing absolutely unique In theatrical circles. "Thera Is a rumor here that Mordkin Is ill or Injured. It is without foundation. No member of the troupe, all but one of whom are Russians, is 111 or in any way unable to appear." "This one man, not a Russian, Is named West. He Is an English youth, whose father was a director of the Imperial Bal let school and thus waa able to slip his son in. - "Playing two performances here really advertises Omaha's value on tha theatrloal map aa almost nothing else could do.

Visitor in Omaha is Afflicted With a Most Rare Disease Secondary Growth of Bones Has Set In, Increasing His Stature aiid Blinding Him. A sufferer from one of the rarest dis eases In the world, so rsre that It has hardly a specific name. Is In Omaha on his way to Baltimore, there to be operated on by one of the most famous surgeons in the country or In Europe, with fifty surgeons of only lesser note witnessing the operation, which will be reported all over the civilised world. The sufferer is Martin Van Wig, Jr., of Orange, Cal.. and his ailment Is what Is called "secondary growth." This is a hyper-development of the bones of the skeleton and In this case has manifested Itself chiefly as reepects the bones of the hands and feet and of the skull. The growth of the skull has almost blinded Mr. Van Wig, who Is a man of 3 years, and the operation to be performed is to remove a bone above the optic nerve, and thus by relieving tha pressure It Is hoped to restore full sight Mr. Van Wig Is here with his father, Martin Van Wig, sr., wbo is a wealthy orange farmer of California. They are breaking their Journey across the conti nent by stopping a day with Mr. Van Wig Senior's sister, whom he had not seen for thirty-five years. The two had an affect. Ing meeting Monday evening at Union station. Until about five years ago Martin Van Wig, Jr., was perfectly healthy and no hint had coma of the terrible affliction which haa since posaeased him and which baa added many inches to his stature so that be Is now a full six feet four Inches tall. Distressing as has been the growth over the body Of the bones and particularly the bones of the Joints In the hands and feet, this Is nothing compared to the growth of the skull Itself, which has resulted In al most complete blindness. Inasmuch as the growth of tha bones has been simply a Chsb of hyper-development and In a way proportional, Mr. Van Wig lias not become a dreadful object, either for himself or his (rlends to contem plate and there is no such shocking de formity as In elephantiasis. Dr. Curtlss of Johns Hopkins university will perform the operation and It will be read of and followed by every surgeon In the country, and medical Journals will teem with accounts of It.

Bel Pat to lined t ie K.arly la ' the Winter. I The advent of the snow In Omaha was not lucky for the por and needy and the hundreds of men who are out of work. At the offlr-e of the street commissioner under the Sixteenth street viaduct Monday morn ing 150 men applied for a chance to help clean the snow from the streets and they could not be employed because the city haa no funds for the work. With the funds that remain In the city treasury' for rleanlns; streets only a few blocks could be really cleaned and the street commissioner says that even the cleaning up of the downtown crossings can be only partly accomplished. But the lack of street cleaning funds Is not the difficulty for the men who are de pending on their dally manual employment for their bread. All of the building trades have been seriously Interfered with by the enow. The work on the Wg bulld-Ina-s about the city has been halted and only those that have already been walled In can make any more progress until the weather breaka This throwa unskilled laborers upon very slender resources for support. The Associated Charities office which serves as an excellent Indicator for the con dition of the poor has had numerous calls during the last two days. One case was called to the attention of the Pouth Omaha branch Monday afternoon that was fif teen blocks from the car Una and on such a poorly kept street the worker had to walk. One case was of peculiar Interest. The mother of six children left a widow dur ing the last few weeks fell 111 and was ab solutely without funds to feed her family. She was taken to the hospital and the children cared for. The Thanksgiving offerings of the school children made bo generously this year have been a great help In this heavy rush and have enabled the charity workers to dis tribute food where there was urgent need of It. The Alamlto dairy has offered to give $25 worth of milk to be distributed free and tome help is expected from other sources. As usual at tha first of December there are also cases of rent ejections that are msd.t doubly pitiful by the cold and snow. Every case of this sort that has been called to thi attention of the charities has been taken care of, but the resources for doing this work are decidedly limited and If the present drain upon them continues they may be exhausted.
