The umsha-Ohicago Frelght Busi- ness. Now that the northwestern trétbles have been amicably adjusted but lit- tle difficulty will be found in settling all matters about which there Is any misundorstanding in the southwest- ern and Iowa pools. The latter has to take some action regarding the con- tinued diversion of business via the Illinols Oentral's Omaha route. It ia probable that the 8t. Paul & Omunha, now controlled by the Northwestern, and which forms a part of the lllinois Central's Omaha line, will break its contract with the Illinols Central, and thus prevent the latter from dolng any Omaha business. The North- western, which Is not everfriendly towards the Tllinois Central, will not allow the contract between the Omaha and Illinois Central to be carried out if it can pomsibly be avoided, and rail- roads have never yet found great diffi- oulty in breaking a contract when they felt inclined to do so. As regards the formation of a general lumber pool on ail lumber from Chicago and Wisconsip and Mississippl river points to Missourl river points thero can ba bat little doubt that the objeot will now be ac- complished, as the Omoha line, which hes caused most of the trouble, will be gaided by the Northweatern’s ac- tion, and the latter has all along becn in favor of such a pool. The lumber rates are 8o low now that the roads are loting monoy in the business, and they are only too anxious to have the rates restored to paylug figures. Mr, Goorge Olds, of the Missouri Pacifle, who has been intrusted with the tak of arranging divisions and peroentages for the various lincs and routes, has been studying the arguments of the varions lines for some days, and he will be prepared at the next meeting to give hia decision. Ia regard to the proposed formation of a pool on passanger businees be- twoen Chicago and St. Louis, Chicago and Kausas City, and St. Louis and Kansas City it is safe to say that ne such pool will be formed, as there is too wide a difference regarding this matter botween the various roads The stand taken by the Rock Island and Alton regarding the matter of pay- ing commissions for the sale of tickets is an insarmountable obstacle in the way of the formation of such a pool. In order to avoid another war on Southwestern passenger rates it Is quite prebable / that some 1ronolad agreoment for the maintenance of uni- form rates will be adopted.—Chicago Tribune, METROPOLITAN HOTEL, OMA.

A FUDDLI} G PUZZLE. Assuaging the Grief of a Mer- chant and Drinking at Hig Expence. A Bp.rit-ual Seance in One of the Parlors of the Paxton, A few congenial spirits met acci- dentally in the rotunda of the Paxton Christmas night, They had been spending the evening varioualy, and all were as happy as they may be ex peoted to be who have apent Christ. mas inideal wa The easy chairs and settees of the hotel were vacated and the marble halls of the great ceravansary were almost as silent as the bosom when the spirit has departed. The gentlemen of pretty Ilate houra were converaing very pleasantly. An oceasional sabdued yot hearty laugh told that the late hour had not the potency to impel them to their couches, A general murmer of approval of something one of them had said, had died away, when slowly and in the the direction of the chattaring coterie, casme the meaeured tread ot an ad- dition to their number, He was a Farnam atreet merchant, worth thous- ands, and caring less for one of them than others would for a dollar. But he disliked to be cheated. And he'd spont many a ducat to catch and re- ward the man who succeeded in do- frauding him. He had just been cheated and his friends were aware of it. It was a matter of but a few dol- lars, yet it galled him grievously. Slowly, with hands in his pockets, lazy demeanor and ocorrugated brow, he advanced, “Gentlemen,” sald he, “I haven't fourd the kangaroo that robbed me of my thirty-five dollars, But I will if it costs me five hun- dred.” “O! let it drop,” exclatmed one of the listeners; ‘‘hu’s ouly a cur, any- way." “'Thirty.five dollars, did you say?” atked a second. “‘Why, I heard a party at table say, to-day, he could prove you had loat but $15, and the article you anldM" “Fifteen dollars, be blessed! It's nothing of the kind, I heard that myself, T've heard a half hundred people talk of this business, and some want to make it appear I've lcst $50. I'mn tired of this, 1l prosccute the next man T hear talk about it,” said the injured imerchant. He was turning sway offended, when one of the gentlemen overtook him to talk with and placate him. And while this was transpiring the scribe learned the cause of the trouble, A customer had boughta chair for $5, and had offored in payment a $20 bill. The clerk had to go to the bauk for chauge. Returning, $16 were glven tho customer in change, who also took the piece of furniture and disappeared. The bank discovered tho bill to be a counterfeit and de- manded that it be redeemed. And so it was. The chair man had given his chair ard fifteen dollars to the custo- mer, and had given §20 to the bank and claimed consequently that he had lost $35 and the chair. Some of the party held he had lost 840, others $20, others $25, and others still, many and various sums. Indeed the gathering seemed likely to repeat the scenes which distingulsh- ed the graduates’ dinner when the electoral commiselon was introduced a8 & topio. Just at the warmest mo- ment, a railway gentleman of massive frame rcquested a young gentleman, whom he called the ‘‘Possessor.” to work out the problem, But the “‘Poesessor” was lost in sdmiration of a hat braid, beautifully painted by fuir hands, that had just been placed against the canopy ot his hat, Tho ratlway gentleman then waved back a lock from his brow, so fixed and white, took & pencil, called all around him and began a drsign, It waa not after Raphael,nor Angelo,nor Rubens, nor Maclise; it did seem a little distance after Bernhardt. By means of that design, and that indue- tion peculiar to the grave-digger in Hamlet, he demonstrated to the Far- nam street merchant that he had lost but §15!! And that Farnam street merchant's éyes had a far-off look, but they saw nothing beyond the railway gentleman, The silence was one of suspense, Was the merchant con- vinced? Ho rose slowly, turned on his heel, and walked away. The con- vivialists looked each other in the face, One of them was about to speak, when the merchant returned, ‘‘Gentlemen,” he said, ‘I can’t say that my friend,” gently preesing the railway gentleman’s shoulder, is rights I won't say that he's wrong; “I will say that he has made me feel queer, as did & banker, to-day, who proved to me I had lost §60. This is the best fifteen or fifty puzzle ever in- vented, I'll let any of you patent it. In conclusion, gentlemen, I have left my pocket-book with a gentleman in an adjoining room on this floor, and when you are thirsty you'll find that he'll find something in it to assuage the feeling,” And then he walked away, It happened at that moment that all the gentlemen were thirsty, and they went and were thirsty no more, It is still an open question, How many dollars did that merchant lose ! i A MOST WONDERFUL ADDIPION 0 the choice things that stock a larder is UB PUNcn,” Tts components are rum and brandy of No. 1 quality, fruits and sugar, Itls ready for use, and snperb, Trade supplied at manufacturers’ pricos by M, A, McNamara.

Among the holiday festivities, the “Oaristmas Groeting” tendered the Sabbath echool children of the Con- gregational charsh on Monday even- Ing, under the auspices of the officers and teachers, was onn of the most en- joyable events of the sasson. The church was brilliantly lit up by half past seven o'clock, at which time their friends and relativis had filled the church, Mauach pains bad been taken, and no expense apared, in dec- orating the church with appro- priate designs, wreaths and fig- ures, In front of the pulpit stood two cedar trees hung with num- erous presents of variegated colors, thickly studded with small wax can- dles auspended from their slender twigs, through the foliage of which gleamed their flickering lights, Be- twoen these luxuriant trees was ar- ranged a small archway in the shape of a rainbow covered with evergreens, in which was closely dotted small wax ocandles of diversified colors, Imme- diately back of this, and on an ele: vated plain, was erested the home and retreat of Santa Clauee, the sides and ends of which were made of fine lace curtains, covered with a choice selection of .ever- greens and cedars. The Interior was lined with cotton flakes and pres. enta of every variety and color, while overhead was worked in letters of green, “‘Glory to God. Peace on Earth,” the whole forming a scene of indescribable beauty, and one which will be long remembered by; those present. trom beneath thi fairy abode Santa Claus made hi pear- ence, in the mids: of the musical exer- cires, creating much mirth among the audience, and from which he dispensed his gifts, to the delight and joy of his javenile claimants, The evercises were short, spicy and entertaining.

An Interview With the Madicon Square Theater Manager. 1he “Hemeralda” Company En Route to the Paciflc Co:at. Mr. Charles Blanchett, well and favorably known as a theatrical man- ager, arrived In Omaha Sanday, en route for San Francisco, where he is to look after the interests of the Madi- son Square theater's businces Oae of our reporters found him in a Pull man car, and secured sn Interview, which was substantially as follow: “I am going to San Francisco,” said Mr. Blanchett, ‘‘in advance of the New York company, where we expect to do & handsome business during the season, This will be my fourth trip to the Pacific coast, and I never have gone with more confidence than I now have. “You know that Messrs, Gustav and Charles Frohman have leased Bald win's theater, and the first attraction which they will present to the San Francisco public will be a Madison Square company witha Madison Square Home company.” “What do you mean by a Home company.” ‘1 mean.” resumed Mr. Bianchett, “‘the New York theater's stock cem- pany engaged to play only in Now York city, and not, as arule, to travel. It is for this reason that we have had considerable trouble with a portion of the members. Yousee, they expected to play in New York, where they had leased apartments, and had made their arrangemonts for a long sa; You know how actresses like to fix up their quarters, and, of course, you under- deratand that when a woman gets her gilded bird cages properly suspended in the most healtkful corner of the room, and secures stabling for her pet dogs during the winter, she considers herself happy, and nothing short of earthquakes or a salary can induce leave such wmithetio convenience. Consequently this San Francisco scheme of ours completely upsets their plans and the moat plausible of managers had to employ his bast arts in pereuading them to listen to reason and business, The matter was finally arranged satisfactorily and everybody was induced to undertake a long jour- ney to the Pacific coast. Youand I know perfectly well that the jouruey across the plains in a Pullman palace car is delightful recreation, and any actor who has made the trip is glad to make it again, but these ‘Esmerelda’ people in New York could not be hired to believe it until after a dis pensation of a large amount of elo- quenca.” “T suppose you prafor to take a New York city company to the Pacific const?” “Yes, we take the regular New York atock company across the conti- nent to give Baldwin's theatre a first class cast and to produce our plays in every respeot as elaborately and as effactively as they were brought out in New ' York by the home manage- ment.” ““What plays are to be produced in San Franciaco?” ‘¢ ‘Esmerelda,” ‘Young Mrs., Win- throp,’ and probably a new play by Fred. Maraden, which has been the subject of considerable talk in the newspapers.” “Will your Omaha?” “‘Yeos, for one night—on the 8th of January. ‘Esmerelda’ will be p'ayed, and probably we will give you ‘Young Mrs., Winthrop’ on our return.” ¢ ‘Fsmerelda’ was a great success in New York; equal to Hazel Kirke, was it not?"” *‘Oh, yes, ‘Esmerelds’ was the play that run three hundred and fitty nights and wss drawing immeonse houses, We were forced to take it off to make room for ‘Youag Mrs, her to c:mp‘lny appear in who held a confidential posttion from being sent to atate prison she rece how terrible her mistake has been and the play closes with another reconcil- iation and resump!ion of the old love “Will your compsny go beyond the I'acific const?” “I think it will. Negotiations are now pending with managers ln‘ Aus- tralia to send out s Madison Square Theatre Urmpany intacs snd produce the plags that recelved so much favor in this coontry. There is no doubt that Australia is a great field for the- atrioal enterprises when plays have merit. Human nature is about l)'u) same the world over particulatly 80 in Australis, which is composed Jargely of Eoglish people who appreciate everything of an emotional aud domes- ing the alleged success of blood curd- ling melo drama in that country.” PRt Christmas Festival To-Night.
