rounding up of subscriptions: the mem
bership has already been at work and
has accomplished a great deal.
Orchestra Well Kuom,
The Theodore Thomas Orchestra of Chi
cago needs no special recommendation to
the people of Omaha: this body of artist
under the conducturvhlp of Mr. Frederick
Stock lias been most sorlounly recemd
and heartily endorsed by the public and
the press of Cincinnati, Toronto, Pitts
burgh. Philadelphia, New YorU, and Bos
ton already this season, and Mr. stock
who. In assuming' some years ago the
baton laid down by the laie Theodore
Thomas stepped Into one of the most
difficult positions the, musical world has
ever had to offer-has been" looked upon
with the utmost favor.
i Tho Mendelssohn Choir should not need
much exploitation this season after f.ie
IX and can be had now from any mem
ber of the Mendelssohn Choir
The Mendelssohn Choir will sing on
both evening programs, and there will be
enough complete change from the pro
grams of last year to interest all. and
to prov e a very agreea hie va liet y a nd
contrast.

II&.Qiv.OMl Clever penmen are leaving a
trail of had checks reaching from Port
land, Maine, to Portland, Ore. Hanks
and hotels are naturally the slilning
marks of the forger; but nearly, if not
quite, as much money is paid out on
forgeries by individuals, small storekeep
ers, and business houses as by all the
banks and hod Is combined. A large
proportion, especially of the unreported
forgeries, is in amounts uf less than
SIOO. If the former of a small check
has vanished, and only n doubtless clue
remains, the natural Impute is not to
"send good money after had." In most
cases, nothing Is done, and the criminal
goes on his way unhampered and un
afraid. Banks naturally do not care to
have It known that they pay out cus
tomers' money on forged paper, and if
the forger is gone they are not inclined
to take much trouble to find him."

upon tho storica of Bret llarte he might
have written another maaterpleee, but

result.
I So much fur the libretto that Puccini
had .to work upon. It certainly did not
llnspiro him. A study of the acore re
(veals little melodic beauty. There are
(Occasional placea where one la conscious
of his true gift. Often and often one
.gets hnatches of Rutterfly, but for the
Imost part the orchestral construction I
bizarre, and inharmonious.
I
The first act. opening with the various
cowboys tinging and talking and the
homesick Jim in the foreground, and
jXIck circulating round with drinks, is
effective as, a sttage picture. Puccini
lhas evidently heard of our beloved Ste
phen Koster, for he makes his camp
(troubadour (the most Incongruous figure
any sane person ever beheld, by the way
Iwander in with his banjo and sing an
ld time southern song, with the boys
!ittlng around for chorus. Mr. Louis
d'Angelo didn't make very much of a
really fair opportunity. After this the
real play begtna. Minnie finally appears,
after many shrieks for her. Johnaun
comes heralded by a blare of chorda and
Inquires who wants to eurl his hair
because he drinks his whisky with water,
lie and Minnie discover over the bar
that they have met before.
The best things In the fir?v are
Jack Ranee's narrative to Minnie, which
Mr. Thomas Chalmers sang in a true
resonant baritone. All through the opera
'Mr. Chalmers was Interesting. The part
ts the best in the opera and he did It
well. Johnson baa some real Puccini
music to sing In his love scene with
ftnnie. broad and lovely and effective.

cocktails, and every time it enters the
club it goes to the little room under the
stairs where they are dispensed. As soon

For three days the pony had not been
feeling well, and, th-mg:. it visited the
club, it had refused the cocktails offered

Th. French republic In strong contrast
to the I'nltrd States uaually elects to the
presidency men of considerable wealth,
who are compelled by the high station
thi-y hold to entertain extravagantly, of
ten having as guests of the republic kings
and emporers. Several who have served
as president of the French republic have
seriously diminished their fortunes while
in power. X- Thiers lived as simply aa
an American president, making a few
large expenditure, and living well within
his persona! revenue of W.flnO franca
i10n.0O( a year.
"Marshall .McMahnn." says I., Cr! de
Tails. "ll!lensrd largely, lie had n.tlot
francs for entertainment of princes, am
bassadors, envoys and other great person
ages and other expenses were voted later.
Th last month of ht3 presidency he
hypoihecited' somewhere near the value
t the hjtcl he possessed in Rue Belle-
chaaae. Uambetta. In 1ST8. caused to be
adopted a motion limiting such expenses
to 100.000 francs In charge, of the ministry
of war of which the marshal waa to be
personally responsible."
The economy of President Orevy became
proverbial. President t'arnot entertained
largely and well. He traveled a great
deal. In short he ate up 500.000 francs of
his personal fortune. Mme. I'amot freely
said to her friends, "The Klysee is a
palace where one la bored and ruined."
Caslmer Perler waa too short a time In
office to exploit the tastes f-r high liv
ing and lavish expenditure which were
natural to htm and which his ample
means permitted. President Felix Faure
dispensed his full allowance in enter
tainment and . contracted heavy debt
which ho negotiated at Havre.
President Loubet did things grandly. It
Is said, and neverthless live) within his .
Income while expending fully the MOM
francs allowed for entertainments. It Is
said that President Fa 1 1 teres has been
able up to the present to put aside
l.COO.OW franca a year and that but year
he had tho pleasure of exceeding this
amount. Madame Fallieres especially Is
credited with being a very thrifty house,
