THE OMAHA DAILY BEE 'PENITENTIAL PLEASURES.” lociety Has a Dull Week of Sack Oloth and Ashes, PARTIES PRINCIPALLY PRIVATE. Theatrical Gossip — Weddings That Were and Are to Be—Doings in Art Circles —Several Receptions, - Y Theatrical Chat. The week has been exception line of amusements, and ¢ inereased prices did not pre from | “Zitka,” Monday and Tuesday night, did | not fulfill the promise of its extensive ad- ) vertising although many worse produc- p tions have been much more warnly re- ceived. The play has engugh merit to warrant its acceptance as & dramatic epi sode, but the happy quality of catch-on- ativencss is absent and the result is an atmosphere, bleak enough to numb_ the sympathies of actors and uudience alike, There is a feeling that something’s lack- g in the performance and the average plity-goer becomes listless and_discon- Fented withont knowing exactly whero to put his finger on the weak spot or whether it actually exists. Whatever they have been the divers opinions of those who wit- nessed *Zitka,"” the audience was unani- mously chilly. The most striking situa- tions failed to bring a single hund clap, and the actors had to go through the thankless task of going through an emotional play to an audience that refused to become entertained. Atkins Lawrence was merely rehearsing 1 a part that was entirely new to him. | He joined the company Sunday and only had'a few hours’ study of the role. Law- rence is an old actor, and at one time was & member of Mary Anderson’s com- pany. L Lotta’s snccess, considering the ad- vance in prices, surpassed all expecta- tion She keeps herself very secluded ~ and lives apart from all strangers. Per- haps her aversion to being seen when off } the stage, may be accounted for in a re- t mark made by a member of her company, “Lotta,"” he said, *'is red-haired freckled al in the Lent and it people turning out in large numbers, d and Immul}', but she is nevertheless very charming.” An actress who makes up as successfully as Lotta, cannot be blamed for trying to keep up the illusion that her stnge appearance gives. ‘This is not Lotta’s first appearance here. She played at the old Academy of Music years l ago, and her performance then is still fresh in the memories of some of the older settlers. ‘ Enjoyable Reception. 1 The young ladies of the mission society } of tae First Presbyterian church gave a 1 delightful recption Thursday evening at 1 Colonel Scott's house on Douglas street. } 3 The affair was one of the most enjoyable | of the season and was a complete success \ in every respect. The large parlors were f beautifully decorated with flowers and ] presented a very attractive appearance. I Refreshments were served in the course of the evening and social enjoyment was at its heighv. Much of the success of the affair was due to the ef- forts of the reception committee to make all welcome. It consisted of the Misses Scott, Miss Lazear, Miss Emma Dixon, Miss Lida Wilson, Miss May Evans, Mrs. Switzler, Mrs. Ramsey and Mrs. Schermerhorn. An excellent fea- ture was a short programme of music ol and literary exercises. Miss Bertha Yost played a Paraprase de Concert bril- liantly. “Mrs, Warner W elsh, sang in her usual charming manner, and not less en- Jjoyable was the litenn;i' portion of the programme contributed by Mrs. Ramsey and Miss Strect. At Brownell Hall. A very enjoyable musicale was given at Brownell hall Monday evening by Mr. > Franko, assisted by Miss Balcombe and o Miss Roeder. Mrs. Franko did not sing on account of feeling indisposed and Miss May supplied & number instead. The eutire faculty and about fifty pupils were present, and a few outsiders who are interested in the progress of the hall. Mr. and Mrs. Kountze, Mrs, Collins, 5 Mr. Worthington and Mrs. Hall were among the number. The following fine rogramme was given %xxfiew Dance . it eveeese..Paganing M. Franko.

One familiar with the artist circles of New York says that there is no eall for oil portraits there. C on and pastile are preferred and especially the latter. Sarony is one who has raised pastile work to the heights. His portraits are “‘a joy forever” to the eye, and instead of getting a nightm as many portrans do, seem certainly to reveal new beaun- sof coloring and shading. A bust picture by Sarony brings $200, but they are smd to in more art than the age oil portrait of fabulous cost. On once in a while an artist hits the ideal in oil and gets a resalt that looks more like nature than like paint, Mumaugh has completed ng likeness'’ of A, L nothing to be desired. finishing touches on an ‘exquisite tudy on ground glass, Miss Brodt has resumed work and has got her ¢ in running order.

Let it be understood that I appeal only to this class, Spiritualists and every class and everybody outside of the popular churches. I will call on any person sending me a postal card with their ad- dress, Address, Dr. J. R. Thompson, Omaha, Neb. e At St, Catherine’'s Academy. The pupils at St. Catherine’s convent are being grounded in art with the thor- oughness that extends through the entire system of the school. The pupils are deeply interested and are making rapid progress. The classes were photographed last week to the great delight of the junior members.

THE LOCAL MARKET STEADY. No New Featdfes of Importance De- veloped in Corn-~Cattle and Hogs Dull and Lower — Gen+ eral, Quotations. i — CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET. CrrcAco, Mareh 19°—(Special Telezram to the Bee.]—This morning's reports of wheat cleared from Atlantic ports yesterday were somewhat surprising, the aggregate being 59,000 bushels from three ports. The clear- ances from New York alone for the first five days of the week foot up to about 1,000,000 bushels, and from the three principal ports 1,263,000 bushels, a quantity in excess of last week by 216,000 bushels. Eastern and weatern receipts show a combined inerease of about 200,000 bushels. The movement eastward from the prineipal western points of accwmnulation is alittle larger than last week. The foregoing figures are what the statisticians have to work on in making up their estimates of the next decrease in the visible supply. The uncertain element being the Minneapolis withdrawals for the mills, none of the guessers having positive information as to what the supply has been taken from—public or private stories. The estimates range from 1100,00° to 1,800,000 bushels decrease. Locally the wheat market was dull and steady. The volume of trade was unusually light, even for an ‘“off day.” ‘The markets of the world are now about as near on a legitimate shipping basis as they ever got. Liverpool, New York and Chicago are practically “in line” and the movement of grain from one end to the other betokens a healthy activity in trade. Of the 282,000 bushels cleared froin New York yes- terday every bushel is said to have gone to the continent and for the week 1 000,000 bushels have cleared for the continental markets, ‘The buils feel encouraged at this evidenco of demand from a quarter not countad on with any certainty in calculations, but their satisfaction is measurably dampened by the thouzht that much of this grain destined for France and that it represents an expedited movement that is liable to stop short when the increased French duty goes into effect, which, under ordinary conditions would have struniz along over the next four months. However, wheat is going out of the country, and it is going with encouraging rapidity. ‘The opening quotations were 807¢c for May and 80%c for June, Lhe mar- ketsold off igcand then May advanced ge and June !{c. Foralong while May hung about Sle, and finally dropped back to S0Xe, June being 80%c. About 12:30 signs of lite were seen in the pit. There was an in- creased demand for wheat, particularly May. which advanced to S1%c and closed at S135¢, with April quoted at 76ige, e at Sle, and July at S0; So-called \ue" houses ae. accumulated about 1,500,000 bushels the last fifteen minutes. , In market for corn no new features of importance were develoged.’ The market dropped to 8visc for May, butrallied to S0ie and closed there. There was a dull market for tures and priees were steady and unchau May was quoked dt 2@ and June These were l|lw oply prices paid. I'rovisions were dull and fluctuations “of all products were within ‘narrow limits. As between ribs and lard 'the latter exhibited the greater strel h, but'the closings of both classes of property show & dmall advance as compared with yesterday. No change in pork. CHICAGO LIVE 81TOCK. Curcaao, Margh 19.—[Special Telegram to the Bek.]-CAryLe.—The supply of cattle on sale waslqnite small, nearly half of the receipts havisiz been bought in the west by dressed beef whippers. The warket was dull and bids were 10@20c lower. Sales were made unevenly at 10@l5c decline, while some early sales of choice light cattle were hardly any lower.

About all the activity was contined to Northwestern and cotton seeo oll, both of which mada good gains. Charley Johnes bid Northwest up on the story that at the coming meeting of the directors of that road astock dividend would be declared and a dividend on common would be increased to 33¢ per cent semi-annually. Preterred stock jumped up4 ver cent and common ndvanced 1% per cent. Omaha ad- vanced about 1 per cent in sympathy with the movement in Northwest. Cotton seed oil advanced 1 per cent and oflicials of that company gave out the news that its forth- comiug statement would show fully $1,000,- 000 in the treasury. 'The bank statement was expected to be a bear argument, but, on the contrary, the small decrease of only $660,000 in the reserve was construed as a favorable indication. Cammack was quoted as sayinz that stocks were 1n too strong hands to make short selling safe. The bulls claimed that the only way to get activity into the market would be to put up prices and the talk was that a bull movement of considerable dimen- slons was under way. At noon the whole market was very strong at an advance over the opening prices. The improvement star- ted in Grangers early in the day, extended tnroughout the list. At the close it was an- nounced that the sale of the Baltimore & Ohio road had been consumated and stor! were circulated gtaging that the consolida- tion of Omaha ahd' Northwestern was on the cards. Money wg very plenty at 4 per cent for call loans. The close was strong at the top prices for. Y. about 150,000 skares.
