"FLYING DUTCHMAN" TO MUISIC | Wagnerian Opera With Splendid Scenic Effects and a Baliet Which ‘Was Never Equalled in this Uity ~Tne First Night The First Night. Fully 8,500 people witnessed the ini- tial performance of the National Opera company at the exposition building last night. To say that all were pleased, sur prised, delighted, with what they saw is but giving a fair expression of the general sentiment. To those who had never seen that peautiful but sombre opera of Wagner, the “Flying Dutchman,” last night's performance was a revelation. The grandeur of the scale on which the work was presented, the attention to de- tails, the stage sctting and accessories, the orchestral accompaniment, all com- bined to make Omaha's first night of Wagnerian music grandiy successful. The Lights and shades of this, one of the great composer’s most charming works, were so carefully, so dulicuu-,lly inter- preted as to furnish every careful listener 8 thorough insight into the musical mys- teries of ““The Flying Dutchman.” The Audience. The doors wers thrown open open shortly after 7 o'clock. As early asa quarter past 7 o'clock the people began to arrive. From that time on until half past 8 o’clock or a quarter to 9 there was a steady stream of people pouring into the Fifteenth street and Capi- tol avenue entrances, The ad- mission of the throng into the building was effected very smoothly and quietly. In this respect, indeed, the performance was in markod coutrast with the Patti night, when the jam at the doors was mmply territic. Those holding tickets for the ground floor were admitted at the ‘Fifteenth strect entrance, those with gal- Mery tickets at the Capitol avenue en- trance. By 8 o'clock the larger propor- tion of the audience were seated, by five minutes after 8 the opening strains of the orchestra prelude floated through the '%z building. he audience, while not as largoe ag it n}lghc have been, was still ,in point of gize, a go one, considering especially that the first appearance of the National opera company was to be viewed in the light of an experiment. And it was a thoroughly representative audience—not made up of anl{ one, or two, or three classes. nd it was, too, appreciative. As soon as it became thor- oughly imbued with the spirit of the opera, it was not slow to applaud when he work of the singers merited applause. n short, the -audience was a pieased delighted, and therefore a happy an gontented one. glmmndmas standpoint the audience as fully up tothe standard of the Patti pight. Many ot the ladies wore hand- some and striking toilets, while the swallow-tailed element was largely rep- resented among the gentlemen, The Stage, A review of last night’s performance would be incomplete without a descrip- tion of the stage and its accessories, brief allusion to which has already been made. The stage itself was seyenty-eight feet wide and sixty-four feet deep. The drop- urtain was of seamed cloth of alternate ue and old-gold colors. ‘There were dressing rooms for 300 peo- Pple, opening from the rear, the annex, and the ladies’ dressing rooms on the south mde. The stage was lighted up by foot and side lamps, so adjusted as to af- ford thorough illumination. In a word, the stage and 1ts appointments were per- fectly adapted to the superb scenic and mechanical effects which enhanced last night's performance. The Music. ‘Wagne mugic was given a fitting Interpretation last night on the occasion of its introduction here in the entirety of opera. *‘The Flying Dutchman’’ is con- sidered one of the most tuneful (if the word may be used) ot the Dante among musical writers. W hatever may have been said of Wagner's music, the conviction of its greatness was unalterably fixed in the opinion of those who listencd for the first time to the inferno of sound that em- phasized the more tragic portions of the story. The first scene is off the coast of Norway and the thrilling realism of a storm at sea with cleverly maneuvering ship was given to an accompaniment weirdly Wagnerian, ¢he sublimities of which were brought out to the utmost by the superb treatment of Thomas’ orches- tra. Mrs. Thurber's undertaking has been a revelation in the matter of prop- erly staging an opera. Such wonderful electrical effects, powerful ensembles and perfection of detail were never be- fore comprised in ssingle performance. The customary phrases seem inexpres- sive and inadequute to the purpose of doing justice to the ‘magnificence the yenture and the in- lividual merits of the artists identified ‘with it, Miss Juch as Senta proved her- gelf a fitting exponent of heavy opera. Her voice is very powerful and clear, lhnufih somewhat cold. She was doubly recalled last night for her artistic work. William 1 Ludwig was dramatic in his sombre role f the Dutchman and dis- layed & rourtl and very pleasant voice. &ymn Whitney's rich voice had consid- erable scope in the part of land. Charles Bassctt was an acceptable Eric and Tessenden’s voice was agre uble. Tlhe course was immeasurably be- mnd the average and the ballet” was ge and danced very fairly, “Lackme' This Afternoon, This afternoon Lakme, a superb opera, will be given. The action of “Lakme’’ progress in India, and the opening inci- dents of the opera occur near the abode of Nilakantha, a brahmin, who, with his followers, still abhors the inyading race. ~ @erald and Fraderick, officers in the ~British army, with Rose and Ellen, English ladies visiting the east, while #trolling in the enyirons desecrate the sacred grounds by their presence.

The regiment is about to march away, and Gerald must be at his post. He promises to answer the roll call after having bidden farewell to Lakme. Frederick accepts his friend’'s word and leaves him. Lakme returns with the sacred water, As Gerald is about to place the cur to his lips, how- ever, the sound of the drum and fife reaches his ears. He starts and Lakme, at a glance, understands everything. In quiet but o’ermastering despar, she gathers some poisonous flowers and ex- preases their juice between her teeth. Death follows in a fow minutes, the heart-broken creature expiring in Ger- ald's arms as Nilakantha and his follow- ers enter and behold the sorrowful pi ure. A Oritique. The “Flying Dutchman,’” as given last night, was certainly a great musical feast. Not only is it a rarety to hear a work of that great composer and “‘maestro,”” Richard Wagner, but it is seldom that anything is ever put on the operatic stage with more care and artistic taste than was the ‘‘Dutchman” last evening. Itisone of Wagner’s works in which the vocalists have a great oppor- tunity to show their “solo” powers, the orchestration not being the leading feature of the opera, as it rather tends to be in Wagner's more modern creations. The cast last night was a strong one and one that should have been able to have *‘filled the bill’’ to perfection, but unfor- tunately, whether owing to the fatigue of the journey or to the large sized audito- rium, Miss Emma Juch did not do herself f‘\micn, as in several of her best numbers er voice showed fatigue and lack of its customary brilliancy. It was apparent that atter she had sung her first few recitations, her voicc was regaining its clear, "mre tone, and her delivery of “‘Yet This The Spectral Man,” etc., was perfect in_its delicacy and Sweetness of tone. It is the first time most of us have heard Mr, Ludwig, and we are pleased to say it will not be the last. Mr. Ludwig has a voice that overflows with deep mellow tones and with great carrying power. Asthe ‘‘Dutchman” he brings out all his dramatic power to such an advantage that when he is on_the stage, everything centers upon him, and he completely fills the house with his vre- sence and his voice. In the second act when the “Dutchman” first enters “Senta’s'’ presence and stands, speoch- less with admiration, Mr, "Ludwi was very powerful. o di not resort to the weather-beaten [talian, ranting and rushing about the stage, but stood persistently azing at Senta until finally he bursts forth into *‘Like to a vision’' in his rich *‘cantalile’’ style. Mr. Myron W. Whitney sang in his usual finished manner but as Daland he did not have the ovgnnunity to bring forth the beautics of his superb organ. Messrs. Charles Bassott and & H. Fessenden do certainly not show to an advantage in Wagnerian music. The former though possessing a fine quan- tity of voice, has not got ‘the dramatic power to throw fire into the part, and consequently his Erik lacked spirit and realism; the latter has not got quite voice enolgh to bring himself out against such a large orchestra and such an energetic chorus, but though thoroughly unsuited to his peculiar timbre and l‘:lfllll_v of voice Mr. essenden sang witl reat credit his ‘“‘role” in the first act, ‘‘Through Thun- der and Storms. The chorus did some very good work, particularly the maid- ens in the second act. One of the pleas- ant features of the chorus was to see neat and young faces with respectable voices instead of the hackneyed, worn out, forlorn looking people that Maple- son always displays tous in fantastic array. The orchestra, which deserves 80 much praise for its performance last night, will have a greater chance to show its many attributes in ‘Lohen- grin,” in which case we will reserve out criticism until to-night. L B. Notes. The ushers did their best. Every one was delighted. The gallery was crowded. The stage and its appointments were superb. A large delegation from Lincoln was present, Everyone voted the stage aud its set- ting superb. This afternoon “Lakme” and to-night *‘Lohengrin.” The number of men in full evening dress was large. The *‘fourth act” drew the bald heads to the front seats. ‘The programme to-night eught to draw out a magniticent audience. Mile. Juch, Whitney ana Ludwig were recalled half of dozen times. Some of the ladies’ toilets were con- spicuous and strikingly handsome, The high hat nuisance was by no means a missing feature of the occasion, The men with the librettos at the Fif- teenth street entrance did a big busit ness. Theodore Thomas did not lead the or- chestra, which, however, ‘‘got there just the samé.”’ ““This beats the ‘Devil's Auction’ and the ‘Black Crook,’ ' murmured Johu Oliver, as he leveled his opera glasses critically at the ballet. Charles L. Gosche, the agent of the Na- tionul opera company, remarked last nmight: “The house was not as well filled a3 1t might have been, but I can truth- fully say that we are satisfied with the receipts.” Mr. and Mrs. Max Meyer, Mr, and Mrs, Adolph Meyer, Mr. and Mrs. Mori Meyer made up a party in the music stand on the gallery floor.” Mr. and Mis. J. A. Waketleld, Mr, and Mrs. P.C. Himebaugh, and Mr. and Mrs. Nathan hll:l’:’illll also occupied seats in the stand.

TO HER FATHER'S ARMS. How a Friend Conspires to Save a Beantiful Girl, A, W. Schermerhorn, a representative of one of the leading manufacturing firms of the Pacitic coast, leaves for the east to-night in charge of a beautiful young girl whom he is endeavoring to rescue from a life of shame, A few days ago he stood at the Paxton entrance on Farnam street and noticed a beautiful young lady puss along the walk in the company of A lemale who wus unquestionably a member of the demi-monde. It occurred to him that he had seen the younger lady before, and when he went back into his memory he recalled having met her three years ago in Venezuela, when she was but thirteen years of age. She with her mother was visiting her father, a wealthy Chicagoan who was then carrying out an extensive contract which he had received a short time before. The girl. was yvery beautiful and attracted universal attention. Mr, Schermerhorn lear where she was domiciled, visited the {)lm‘e last evening and met the young ady. She had been away from home but tive wecks and her parents knew nothing of her whereabouts. She did not recognize her caller and he immedi- ately resolved to again bring her to_her parents. He proposed a trip to New ork and the proposition was accepted. This morning he wired the father at Chi- cago to be at the depot when the train arrives. The father answered and when the pair reach there the young and beautiful erring one will unconsciously be returned to her distracted parents. And yet but one friend will be aware of this short life in crime. FIXING THE RANGE. Fort Umaha Soldiers Preparing For Rifie Practice—Colonel Hatch, Lieutenant Brumback, of the Second infantry at Fort Omaha, went down to the Bellevue rifle range with twenty men yesterday to place it in order for the spring rifle practice. The level will be resodded and the long grass will be burnt so as to afford an uninterrupted range of vision. A bake oven has been erected on the range, and store house for keeping vro- visions will also be built. Next weck five companies of the Second infantry will go to the range and remain there for six weeks’ practice. They will then be fol- lowed by the five other companies of the same regiment who will remain there for another six weeks, Owing to the fact that the rile range will be 1pied during the months of August and September by the department, division and army ritle com- Pentmn. the troopsof this post will only have two months practice where the troops of these other posts will have three months, Colonel Hatch is in the city on his way to Fort McKinney, from which he expects to remove the headquarterf of the Niae- teenth cavalry to Fort Robinson. He reports that the commander of Fort Du Chesne has taken charge of that post, which is now one of the most thoroughly equipped and most important in the de- partment of the Platte. AMUSEMENTS, THE NEXT ATTRACTION AT BOYD'S. Louis James and Marie Wainwright, who were for five years the leading sup- port to Lawrence Barrett, will appear at Boyd's opera house next Wednesday evening as stars. There are no greater Javorites with the play-going public than these two artists. ‘They possess a popu- larity acquired by no other professionals and justly earned by force of their artis- tic ability, Together they constitute a Y:w_orful attraction possassed by no ‘aveling dramatic company. They will appear in Sheridan Knowles® great play of “Virginius,” It will be cast to the full strength of Mr. James’ company. The Chicago News says of ““Virginius:” *‘Mr. James performance was a powertul one, mwanly and impressive. The general effect upon the audience was a favorable one, Marie Wainwright was as lovable, girlish and 1nnocent & Virginia as could e desired.” PEOPLE'S THEATER. Gilday’s comedy company packed the house last night to the doors, the play be- ing the farcial comedy ‘Collars and Cuffs.” The company made a decided hit, each one being especially engaged for their respective roles. The acting of Chas. Gilday created unbounded wmerri- ment. Misg Fannie Beam is a talented soubrette—and is undoubtedly the finest lady dancer in America, the manner in which she handles her fan 1 her song and dance drawing forth numerou: cores. This company will repeat lars and Cuffs” to-night and as it is a most laughable entertainment all lovers of fun skould not fail to be on hand. Leavenworth Street Grade, ‘The contest over changing the grade of Leavenworth street, which for the past s1x months has agitated the city council, came to an end at the meeting held Sat- urday night. The council, by a vote of 10 to 2 passed the final ordinance making the changes as proposed. It is anticipated that as the result of the new grade Leavenworth street will soon become a business thor- oughfare. The grade proposed, which will at once be carried out, 15 an extremely rad- ical one. The changes proposed com- mence at Sixteenth street and end at Thirty-sixth street. From Sixteenth streef to Kighteenth street the cut is a variable one of from two to five feet be- low the present grade, At twentieth street a more severe cut commences, extending to the depth of twenty-five feet at the top of the' hill op- posite City Attorney Connell's property. A fill of eight feet above the present fill of twenty-three feet is made at Twenty- fourth street, and at the intersection of Park avenue a cut of about five feet is made. As the result of the new grade a sewer line will at once be constructed and the street will then be paved. To Keop Streets Clean. There seems to be some things which at some times let zeal over-run discre- tion. Inthe Herald’s report Saturday, some mention is made of the arrest of teamsters, who 1n teaming graded dirt across paved streets had infringed an or- dinance, which condemns an impractica- ble action; that is to say, the cffort to re- strain loose dirt, in dump wagons, No credit is given for the effort of restraint, nor the absence of malicious intent. Fan- ning and Slaven, or any other fellows, are no doubt eager to enforce the law against other evil doers, but must remem- ber that they may have some dirt to haul, in the dim future, and had better look a little out. In another case, where the informa- tion was filed by or at the instigation of F.and 8., we are informed that the case set for 2 o'clock p. m. yesterday was dis- missed by the police court, and the city attorney, who was called by F. and 8. to ersecute similar delinquents—for dirt ropping—gnve some gratuitous* advice in the course of the trial to F. and 8. and, we are informed, told Fanning that his feet were too large for his boots. Some- body eise whispered that it was not in hi: teet but his head where the mischief was brewed—the ‘‘big head” was the com- plaint, not sore feet. B.C.J. ‘Without a Warrant. 8. F. Moriarity, esq., commenced habeas corpus proceedings yesterday in the county court on behalt of Pat Tookey, ATUKESDAY, who was arrestedl here on Saturday night on a charge of mayhem in Des Moincs.

ToroNTo, Ont., April 11.—[Special Tele- gram to the Bre.|—The Globe says the letter of President Cleveland to the president of the fishery union at Gloucester, Mass.,, is a remarkable and important document. It is not such a letter as Americans Interested in the fisheries desired to be served from the president, but the letter was evidently in- tended as a warning to Canadians also. “While we desire that the rignt of Canada be firmly and efficiently asserted and main- tained, we hope that American fishermen will not be refused any privileges to which they are entitled, and that y.he‘r will never experience unjust or unfriendly treatment from those employed In the protection of our rights. 1t would be folly, however, to put out of sight the fact that many in the United States, apparently, the president himself and members of his cabinet, assert that tho fishermen of the Unijed States have rights in our waters which we belicve they have not under the treaty now in force, and that there are privilezes to which they are entitled in the opinion of the president to which we say they have no title whatever. From this misunderstanding, if we assert what we believe to be our rights, greater mis- understandings may arise. ‘This Jetter, al- though utndluusl{ moderate in tone, inti- mates plainly what may follow. tion is, to say the least, exceedingly ki mativg Investigating Collector Seeberger. CirieAao, April 11.—Civil Service Commis- sioners Edgerton and Lyman spent several hours here to-day In continuous private ses- sion of Investigation of the changes preforred against Collector Seeberger by the Chicago clvit service reform leazue alleging that George A. Webster, a $1,200 clerk in the ap- praiser’s office, had been removed for politi- cal reasons. An aflidavit from Webster was produced detailing a conversation with the collector in which the latter is represented to have said he could no longer withstand the party pressure which required him to give the place then occuvied by Webster to a dem- ocrat. Seeberger positively denfed having made such a remark to \aébster or any one else. The Imnrlm?' of the league stated that Webster was in Milwaukee and could not be present at the Investigation. A letter from Appraiser Hoffman, civen to Webster at his discharge, was submitted, It testifies to the deposed clerk’s efficiency and gave hin an enviable reputation for ability and character, ‘The appraiser was called in and was closeted with the commissioners fortwo hours. When the investigation closed the commissioners declined to be Interylewed in regard to it. They said the decision would be tirst given to the authorities at, Washington. gt A Consolidation of Trades. Curcaco, April 11.—(Special ‘felegram to the Bkk.]—The third preliminary meeting looking toward the formation of a consoli- dated building tradeicouncil was held last evening. There were present representatives from the stonecutters, carpenters, painters, derrickmen, hodcatriers, steamlitters, lath- ers, zasfitters, galvanized iron and cornice men, stairbullders and slaters unions. A constitution was adopied containing very strong acticles of fetlération d a perma- nent organization will be effected next Sun- day. The bricklayers and plumbers unions are expacted to join thiem also. The council willbe one of thé most tremendous local organizations ever known. 1t will tepresent from t\\'l',htr-m'u to thirty thousand men,and by the articles of the constitution a general strike can ba ordered in every instance where astrike In a single trade cannot be won without doing so." 1t.1s highly probable the new council will take a hand in the great strike of the carpenters now on, unless it is settled soon. A member of the council says the strike of the carpenters will be the last probably of lll{ of the Chicago building trades. " They will, he said, get what they ask for without resorting to a sirike. —_——— Carpenters Reach an Agreement. CHICAGO, April 11.—-At a meeting of the striking carpenters to-day an organization was formed to be known as the Independent Master Carpenters’ association. The terms of the strikers were at once acceded to on condition that the strike be declared off so far as members of the new association of employers are concerned. This ‘was agreed to by the strikers, and it is expected that about one-eighth of the men will thus resume work immediately on the eight-hour plan at 85 cents an hour. Disputes are to be settled not between the employer and eu ploye, but by arbitration betweeén the car- penters’ union and the masters’ association. Che result marks an important divergeuce from the programme declared by the car- {rulllnfl‘s at the bezinnlng of the strike. They hen announced that no carpenters would be allowed to return to work until all the con- tractors gave in or the strike as a whole was declared a failure. ———— Many Famllies Made Homeless, Prrrssuna, April 11.—A disastrous fire at Spring Garden borou:h this afternoon de- stroyed twenty-five frame houses, rendering thirty-five tamilies homeless. The fire started in Michael Waidschmit's soap factory and was caused bv the boilingover of a_kettle of fat. The occupants of the houses had barely time to escape with their lives and were una- ble to save any of their household gooids. ‘They are all poor people and the loss will fall neavily upon them. To-night the thirty- five families, nutbering over 100 persons, are without shelter and many or them are being cared for by neighbors. The ioss is estimated at about £50,000, on which there is a small Insurance. ———— An Agreement Concluded. CiicAGo, April1L—0n account ot the dis- agreememant between the eastern and west- ern lines regarding the divisions of rates on business from the seaboard to the Missouri river and beyond, whieh resulted in the lines quoting local rates up to and west of Chi- cago, and the division of a large amonnt of this class of business to St. Louis routes, via which ecity the rates were from 2 to 8 cenis per hundred lower, the Chicazo west bound lines have concluded an agreement with the Grand T ufl‘( by which the old rates and divisions arg entered into again. This will give the Grand Trunk control of the business unless the other eastern lines yield the point they have been fighting over. — Prairie Fircs in Kansas, ArcuisoN, Kan., April 11.—A disastrous prairle fire is raging in.Phillips and Norton counties in Kansas.

Griffin, Stuart, Towa, says: “I have not had an ache or pain of rheuma- tism since I used the Athlophoros, which is now over a year ago. For three months my store was closed, not being able to at- tend to my business at all. My joints were swollen and there did not seem to be any partof my body that did not ache. After suffering in this way until the pain was al- most beyond endurance, I went to Colfax Springsto try the effects of the water. The dav I left home I had to be carried down stairs, Atter remaining at the Springs a month I came back, being some better. After being home a few weeks I had a re- lapse. It was at this time that I learned of Athlophoros. I sent for a boltle of it and in fifteen minutes after I had taken the first dose ILfelt its effects, and when I had fin- ished the third bottle I was well. I have not had any rhepmatism since. Every druggist should keep Athlopho- ros and Athlophoros Pills, but where they cannot be bought of the druggist the Athlophoros Co., 122 Wall st.,, New York, will send cither, carriage paid, on receipt of regular price, which is $1 per b_(_\ltltlu for Athlovhoros and 50¢ for the ills. For liver and kidnoy disenscs, dyspensia, In- digestion, ness, nervous debility, diseases of woman, coustipation, hendache, Impure blood, eta., Athiophoros Pills are uneaunlled.

With the approach of spring and the increased interest man- ifested in real estate matters, Iam more than ever consult- ed by intending purchasers as to favorable opportunities for investment,and to all such would say— When putting any property on the market, and advertising it as desirable, I have invariably confined myself to a plain unvar- nished statement of facts, never indulging in vague promises for the future, and the result in ev- ery case has been that the expec- tations of purchasers were more than realized. I can rofer; with pleasure to Albright’s Annex And Baker Place as sample illustrations. Lots in the “Annex” have quadrupled in value and are still advancing, while a street car line is already building past Baker , Place, adding hundreds of dollars to the value of every lot. Albright's Choice was selected by me with the greatest care aiter a thorough study and with the full knowledge of its value, and I can- conscientiously say to those seek- ing a safe and profitable invest- ment that Albright's Choice offers chances not excelled in this market for a sure thing. Early investors have already reap- ed large profits in CASH, and with the many important improvements contemplated, some of which are now under way, every lot in this splendid addition will prove a bo- nanza to first buyers. Further information, plats and prices, will be cheerfully furnish- ed.
