TUB LOWER CUT SHOWS ONE OF THE NEW SUMMER HOMES BEING CONSTRUCTED ON THE GROUNDS. When tho members df'he Carter Lake club, formerly the Rod and Gun club, entered tho grounds Friday, when the formal opening: wai hold, they were struck with amazement over the change which had been .wrought In the place during the lost year. For the first time the club took formal possession ot the new Grounds, which were purchased from the Crelghton estate for $60,000. The old pavilion did not appear the same as last year, In fact It had been Temodeled and. made Into a very attrac tive club house, .with a first class kitchen and dining room on the second 'floor. Tables were also arranged around the porch, which was exposed to the cooling breezes from the lake. On the first floor of the club house SENIORS INJJLASS PLAY Omaha Sfgh School Presents "She " Stoop) to Conquer" at Boyd.

With histrionic talents seldom displayed In amateur theatricals, members ot the senior class of the Omaha High school presented "She Stoops to Conquer" at the Boyd theater last night Admiring parents, brothers, sisters and friends of thoso who took part, alumni and friends and students of the school literally filled the playhouse. Few shows staged at that theater have been greeted with greater signs of appreciation than Oliver Goldsmith's comedy as presented by the high school students. The audience seemed to forget the heat ot the night through the greater Interest in the pro duction and gave full vent to their feel ings of admiration for the players and the delights of the amusing play. The players acquitted themselves won derfully. What especially was notice able was their interest in their own lines. They seemed really to enjoy the humor ous situations ot the play and the laugh ter which usually sounds forced in ama teur performances in this had a ring of real fun. They put the full spirit into each role, and if there was any stage fright those who suffered deserve double credit for being able to act above it, for it did not show. Unusual, too. In the presentment of the piece there was no forgetting at least no audible prompting -and the participants caught their cues without an instant's pause, showing thorough memorisation and training, oldsmlth's story was well told by them.

Tho old dance hall has been remodeled with a new floor and will be used this year for the regular weekly dances of tho club. One of tho many new features of the grounds is a canoe shed, which1 will hold over 200 canoes. A canal from the lake has been built along side ot tho canoe house, making It possible for canoeists to bring their boats up to the door. A now bath house, with over GOO lockers has been built along tho water's edge and Is partitioned for the use of both sexes. An artesian well has been sunk way pie and the properties were perfectly dandled, allowing the players to inject much ot the good business ot the play which they did creditably. The cast for tho play had been well placed. The students had been chosen for the varioUs roles evidently by ono experienced In seeing natural qualifica tions tor characterizations, with the re sult that no particular one stood out from the rest as a star; they were all stars. By the nature of the play, however, there were those who were seen more than the others and consequently had bet ter chances to display their ability. Of these there were John Hanlghen, Car lisle Allan, Leslie Uurkenroad, Kenneth Craig, Doris Duncan, Edda Sullivan, Hanna Kopland and Kathryn Crocker. Leslie Uurkenroad had many lines to read and he read them all well. He has a good carrying voice and possesses a stage presence that equipped him well, tor his role. Kenneth Craig, too, had an important role. His delineation of the character of young Marlow was good throughout and he showed up extra well. by his penetrating, effective stage whls-' pers and the business of abides. Johnu Hanlghen in the difficult character ot Tony Lumpkin was also a central figure r and was equal to the occasion Carlisle. Allan held up an Important link In the story with creditable ability. Edda Bulllvan as Miss Hardcastle put a deal of merry spirit into her charac-A ter which called for that and presented!) all the good elements ot a role that was 11 not easy. Miss Hanna Kopald, Mtssf) Kathryn Crocker and Doris Duncan were delightful In the readings. In a word the entire- cast almost suc ceeded in the impossible that quality ot acting which can submergs one's own physical self and traits of personality into foreign ones before the eyes of close associates.

CEREMONIES ABE VERY BRIEF Montenegrin Representative Sounds Discordant Note, Country "De spoiled" of Just Share of Loot. LONDON, May 31. Tho eight months' war between Turkey and the alllod Bal kan states Is elided. The "Peace of Lon don" was signed yesterday In the gallery ot St ilamea palace. Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign secretory, presided over the formalities. The following peace delegates signed the preliminary treaty: Osman NIzamt Pasha for Turkey, Dr. Daneff for Bul garia,,. Stcjan Novakovitch for Servla, Stephanos Skoloudls for - Greece and M. Popovttch for Montenegro. Tho only dramatic feature of the his toric' occasion was M. Popovltoh's ex pression of keen disappointment that Montenegro had "been despoiled of Its Just share of tho spoils -of a triumphant war" and ot the hope that "England, which took the lead in the spoliation." .would take oVcry step to compensate Mbntengrq "for Its sacrifice. Slsrn Without lien din ir. The actual ceremony was very brief. The delegates signed tha treaty without reading it, evidently In full confidence that all the seven articles wer In such wording as the powers chose to have them. The Bulgarian delegates proposed thai peace become immediately effective with out ratification of the treaty. This pro posal was rejected and the delegates then left after having agreed to meet June 2 to consider the advisability ot an even tual annexed protocol. After informing the ambassadorial con ference of the signing of the peace draft, Sir Edward Grey suggested that the con ference limit Its discussions to three questions: A constitution for Albania, tho delimitation of fho southern frontier ot Albania and the status of the Aegean islands. Await Further Instructions. The .ambassadors now are awaltlnsr fur. ther Instructions from their governments regarding a constitution for Albania, but tho conference is working in great har mony and expects to conclude Its labors by the end of June. Tho relations between the Balkan at. lies show a distinct Improvement. The proposed meeting between the Bulgarian and Servian ministers Is now definitely fixed to take place on the frontier to morrow evening. The latest suggestion for a settlement of the quarrel between the two countries Is that Servla and Bui garla renounce the old treaties and r in clude a new alliance providing for a Joint administration of Macedonia. CREIGHT0N IMPROVEMENT CLUB ON PUBLIC QUESTIONS At the regular weexiy meeting of the Crelghton First Addition Improvement club . the election of officers resulted as follows: W. I. Hoopes. president; W, II. Hatteroth, secretary, and W. J. Peterson, treasurer. Reports ot the various committees were heard on matters of particular interest to the residents of tho southwestern part of the city. The proposition of seven street car fares for a quarter was discussed, and, while no definite action was taken, sentiment stmed to favor better servloe and exten sion into districts not now served rather than a reduction of farts. Telephone rates were dtsousscd and the sentiment was that Omaha is suffering under the burden of high rates. The dis cussion resulted in a special committee being appointed to investigate rates pre vailing In other cities ot Omaha's class. Key to the Situation Bee Advertising.

Shortly after the exhibition closed for the night a watchman discovered In a small' room on the ground floor a card board box filled with rags and cotton saturated with oil. A number of wax tapers were bound about the box. Four of these were burning when the watch man found the box, which had been so placed that the flames from It easily would have communicated with the walls. Oct Fire to Letters. The suffragettes resumed their cam paign of destruction tonight in the Lewis ham branch postofflce, which they had attacked several times previously.
