V Metz. president of the library board. Prof. Grunnnann took up tho works of Has author and gave examples of h s rash denunciations of many valued cus toms and Institutions of society. He fol lowed the. eccentric author throtiRh the mystic realm of his darkest and most danKerous superstitions which he has Interwoven Into his wrltlww In such a way as to lead many who follow his works to think there Is something worth ahlle In mysticism and superstition. I want to fight that kind of thins." aid l'rof. drummann. A rimed With I'nrrntu, The speaker said Strlndbers pitted his opinions against those of hla parents when ha was so young as to be Incapable j, of logical opinion. Later In life ho was ? for years completely deranged. "When he .. wanted to prove or disprove theory," saiil the professor, "he set diligently to y work making a few experiments and reading a few works that favored his view, and thon wrote his findings as an nbsoluto truth. In this way ho attacked a -'.enre, relegated chemistry to the back ground, nd reinstated alchemy, claiming 'n his 1..ngcmcnt that ho was bitterly persecute J for this for years by the aioncy powars because he had discovered JJ ow to make gold."

"It would be sufficient to pass this author by silently," sold Professor drum mann, 'Jw'ere It not for tho fact that ho has been taken seriously by omo people." U 1'rofessor Qrummann quoted from atrlndbcrg's denunciation of Helndrlck Ibsen, the Norwegian dramatist. Strlnd- 3f berg had denounced tho famous Nora of S Ibsen's drama, "The Doll's House," as a 'i silly, sentimental woman who sought economlo equality with her husband while she failed first to qualify for, this . equality. Tho speaker jwtnted out, however, that K Ibsen and his works wcro so far aliove i those of Htrindberir as not to be coin ( pared with them, at all. t Bishop Partridge Speaks at Big Rally Illshop Sidney Partrldgo of Kansas City, . who Is giving a scries of sermons and I lectures In Omaha this week, spoke lost night at a missionary rally of all the ;: Episcopal churches of Omaha at Trinity ! cathedral on Japan, In which country J ho spent eight yoars n missionary, t, Ulshop Partridge spoke on the chnrnc- f terlstlcs of tho race uud how rupldly the Japancso people assimilated knowl 5. edge of the Christian religion, and tho T progressive spirit of tho modorn world as taught to them by the missionaries, iiartlculorly those of the English tonsu. He told how thoroughly thosa who have accepted the Christian faith embrace their religion and tho amount of study ? which they devoto to It.

The steady fall-of his Number 12's heralded his approach tatlonward and tho sleeping cops there stirred Uneasily. ', Uko the lead to chapter tefi of ''Had Hill's Uunlon" was the chain of events that followed for tho next few seconds. From the darkened stairway of a Douglas street hobo roost came an unusual sound. The cop barkened well. Another moan and thon a chorus of them. "A woman In distress," tragically exclaimed tho cop .is he cleared decks for action. When he reached tho top of the stairs with cun and Nashllght In hand he squared off and cast light upon the source of the noise. A bnsket covered with a shawl attracted his attention and! ho uncovered It. Instead of a scare head murder mys tery he saw three tiny puppies, deserted and cold. Tucking them under his arm he took them to hcadquartoni and attempted 'to abandon them on Captain Dcmpsey's desk. I "Nichols!

Gilbert and Arthur iJanjfnrT Crca,tfd their refined comlo operas wo hnve iiad plots for Just as good productions, but tho makers of our modern musical eolnedy librettos have never, ben .able to turnlhelr absurdities Into such oxqt'ilaltoly ftne' works as "The Mikado" or "Pinafore." Nor have any of our modern opera-tnakera achieved the success tlmt-BuUlvan did In clothing these comlo nbsurdltlen In musical ' settings possessed ot such Inspiring delights' of song and harmonics. And the reason why Ilia Gilbert and Sullivan productions, created more than a quarter of century ago, aro still so popular when presented by such ii cast as Is playing at the Hoyd now Is none other than that the present day has mil brought forth a splondld satirist to rank with Gilbert nor a keen lytlo writer to reach par with Bulltvun. "Tho Plruti'H ol Peniancc," the second of tho Gilbert uud Bulllvan comic operas to bo produced In Omaha hy the all-star cast, Is U'su familiar In the general pub lic than "The Mikado," which was pre sented on the opening night. Though not so welt known, this pleasant opera, with Its absurd plot. Is as purely satirical as "Tho Mikado;" still It Is not so romlo and docs not reach the standard ot the Gilbert and Bulllvan masterpiece In Its music. Perhaps tho performance of last even ing was not so great a success as that of the previous evening, but It such were true It was only because the second opera lacked some of the brilliancy of the for mer. Kata Condon did not have the op portunity that she possessed In Katliho, but stilt she whs satisfactory. Hhe plays the comedy role of the homely womap In lovo wlth any man extremely effectively. Hho sang beautifully, Arthur Aldrlgo appeared as tho appren tice and did much better than on the previous evening, perhaps because he had n more ample part. Ills voice wus virile, pure and smooth, n when he sang Nankl-Pooh. Miss Blanche Duffleld was, splendid, vocally, In the rolo of Mable, General Stanley's youngest daughter..

NEJW YORK, Nov. 1L-The season at the Metropolitan opera house, accom panled by all Its customary social brll llanoy, opened this evening with Puc cini's "Manon Loscaut."

There has been few changes among the holders of boxes, which are transferred less frequently than family residences. Speculators sold a few seats In the or chestra for as high ns $100. Kor tho first time in tho history of the opera house the most conspicuous feature of tho row of parterre boxes was ono ab solutely empty, that of the lato John Jacob Astor, now standing In the name of Vincent Astor.
