In its fifth biennial report th Nebraska
Public library commission makes ac
knowledgment of the assistance given by
the Nebraska Federation of Women's
clubs. The report says:
"Sine th establishment of the Library
commission, largely through the efforts
of the Nebraska Federation of Women's
clubs, there has always existed a close re
lationship between the clubs and th com
mission. Two years ago when the fi
nancial needs of th commission were
pressing, the clubs of th state undertook
to Interest th legislature In th work of
the commission and the result was an In
crease of tC.OdO in the biennial appropria
tion.
"This has enabled us to buy a great
many books needed for study and to as
sist the clubs more than ever before. In
addition to the books loaned to individuals
to aid them tn the preparation of special
topics we have made up study group li
braries to send out to clubs for tha whole
winter, covering as fully as possible the
year's work. This fall we sent out thirty
one such study groups.
"We have also made suggestions to
program committees and have . assisted In
outlining courses of study for women's
clubs. The clubs are working away from
the "miscellaneous" program and we are
assisting them, as far as we are able, to
taka up definite lines of work.
"Last winter the Art department of the
State federation had some money tn Its
possession and decided to purchase pho
tographs of famous paintings to be used
by tha art clubs In ths state. They sought
the co-operation of th Library commis
sion and th commission made up three
study libraries on French, Dutch and
English painting and the Art department
supplied three portfolios of photographs
of the most notable paintings of the vari
ous schools, to accompany the libraries.
Thee portfolios are to b permanently de
posited with the commission.
American Theater
Reopens on Sunday
Bis Crowds Attend the Performance
and Management Gives Din
ner to Actors.
The reopening of the American theater
Sunday was attended by considerable of
Interest beyond the mere fact that a good
entertainment was provided. The circum
stances were against the likelihood of
crowds gathering, and yet sack of the
three performances saw large audiences
assembled. Ths quality of th bill ts such
aa redeems Manager Bondy's promises that
the new policy will be on that deserves
popular approval.
No prettier or more comfortable theater
than the American ever opened its doors to
th public, and this fact Is being recognlxed
by the people of Omaha. They admire th
artistic decoration of ths house and enjoy
Its comfortable appointments. That vaude
ville Is popular her has long been provea,
and th policy of Manager Bondy to pro
vide excellent entertainment at reasonable
prices will surely meet with th support of
th public.
Aside from th Interest of ths public tn
the opening, ths actors wer given their
share In the form of a dinner tendered by
the management after th close of th
evening's performance This was a sort of
family affair, a New Year's celebration
for the show folks, and was carried out In
perfect form by them. Toasts were drunk,
stories were told and a very plrasant time
was passed by all.

HEART OF NAPOLEON FOUND
Sasi
oef Orna ef the Kaserer t a
eartke Iw Cathedral la
' Pari.
Apropos of the Investigation being con
ducted by the French Parliament as to the
right of Naundorff to consider himself the
grandson of Louis XVII. an Interesting
discovery has been made ln the cathedral
of St. Denis, where the Investigating com
mittee went to search for the heart of
Louis XVII. This discovery Is nothing less
than what Is believed to be th heart of
the great Napoleon.
Recently M. Bolssy d'Anglas, the chair
man of the committee, discovered some
document which pointed to the Cathedral
of St. Denis as a probable source of further
Information on the affair, and. having ob
tained special leave from Mr. Dujardln
Beaumets, minister of fine arts. M. d'Ang
las guided the committee through the an
cient cathedral. All the historic tombs of
the kings of France, which are now re
stored as well as possible after the dam
age thev received dur-fng the revolution,
were visited and examined with minute
care. In the vaults another tomb was found,
which Is not mentioned in th official in
ventory of national monuments. It bears
the Initial "N."
Ths verier then opened the vast Iron re
cess which contains th hearts snd cof
fins of the kings. Thin reliquary had not
been opened for fifty years, and la only
briefly described In the official description
of the building. The committee was sur
prised to find a large chamber, which
looked very much like a discarded lumber
room, or th storehouse of a cheap second
hand dealer. The coffins, all ln wood,
and now ln a very bad state of decay,
stand on iron trestles of the simplest na
ture, and on each side Is a row of small
stone pedestals, each of which supports the
heart of on of the kings. Inclosed in a
heart-shaped casket of gold. The name of
each sovereign Is engraved on the pedestal. T
There waa no pedestal reserved for the
heart of Louis XVII. but ln the middle of
one of the rows, a pedestal rather larger
than the others bore the Initial "N" with
out a crown. The cas.'et was ln gold. M.
d'Angias suggests, with some support from
other authorities, that this Is the heart of
Napoleon, placed there by those who served
him at St. Helena, and having been taken
from the body after the autopsy. New
