The usual re- marks upon a new en prise were in- dulged in, some envious competitors were 8o unkind as to predict failure for the undertaking. But conscious that true merit would win in the end, the enterprising manager pushed right on, until to-day this office plays second fid- dle to none of its kind in the whole west. The office referred to is that of UNION SEWING MACHINE CO. The reason for this phenominal growth is first and foremost the reul merit of this sewing machine itself, coupled with the courteous treatment of cus- tomers, and the employment of only competent men. A few of the points of excellence of this machine will bear mentioning. It is the lightest running and best finished machine in existence. It hasa self-setting needle, an automatic ten- sion, a large scale under the arm, a scale to regulate the length of the stitch, a self-acting cylinder shuttle, and is the only machine which will sew equally well backwards or forwards. Mr. C. P. Heffley, for many years the manager of the city office for the Singer people, and a man of exceptionable ability'as o sewing machine man, has been induced by the leading place occu- sied by the Union sewing machine to }m's:tku his old love and accept the management for the Union. This alone on the part of Mr. Heflley s signi- ficant. Thus Mr. Douglas goes to the Eluffs to take charge of the work over therd. Mr. G. S. Smith, the efficient mauager of the office located at 1609 Howard street, still occupies the posi- tion, which he has filled so well in the past. The most successful thing on earth is success, and if big sales, good work and an universal verdict in its favor is any indication of success, the Union sewing machine has it.

LOTTA AT BOYD'S, The engagement of Lotta at Boyd’s opera house the last half of this week will be among the theatrical treats of the season. On Thursday evening, her new play “‘Pawn icket 210,” will be presented. These is a lively curiosity concerning this play, which has in a comparatively short time achieved a tremendous success, The character of Mag (the pawn) is said to suit Lotta’s merry individuality to a dot. Moreover, the pop- ular little woman is surrounded by a com- pany of superior ability, notable among whom are Messrs. George C. Boniface, jr., J. W. Hague, P. A. Anderson, Augusta Ray- mond and Lillian Richardson, On Friday evening Lotta appears in her famous dual role of ‘‘Little Nell” and “The Marchioness,” and on Saturday evening in ‘‘The Little Detective.” At the matinee on Saturday she will for the last time be seen as Mag in “Pawn Ticket No. 210.” The sale ot seats opens Wednesday. THE ARABIAN NIGHTS, On March 19, 20 and 21 *“The Arabian Nights,” one of the greatest spectacular productions ever seen in this country will _be the attraction at Boyd’s opera house. The company includes nearly ome hundred people. EDEN MUSEE, The phenomenal success of John . Kelly in “Our Irish Boarder,” has decided the management of the Eden Musee to vetain himself and company for another week. The coming week, commencing Sunday, March 11, he will appear as Roger O'Reilly in the ludicrous comedy of Senator McFee. In curio ball a beautiful tableaux of thirty wax figures, representing Christ before Pilate, will be presented. These figures are direct from the celebrated n Musee in New York City, and are fashioned after the famous $100,000 painting, now the property of Mackay. Lizie Sturgeon, the pedes- trial pianist, a new illusion and other new features appear in this department, while Deaves Royal Marionettes hold the stage on on the first floor, presenting *“‘Little Red Rid- ing Hood.” ompany will make its first appea; jrand Opera house to-night. The company will produce the opera entitled the *‘Honest Thief,” or the “Miser Uncle, ich has been presented to packed houses in ‘many, Kussia and Eng- and, also in the L._st houses in America to large sudiences, The opera was composed by the well known Hebrew musician, Mr, D. Lipshitz. The costumes are of the aucient type. The members of the company are actors of acknowledged abilit, lected from the companies in G GRAND OPERA HOUSE, ( Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights Mr. James D, Clifton, in his latest and grandest success, “The Ranch King.” Mr, Clifton will be remembered as the senator of Mistle Four's ‘'Ranch 10, Id Belt" and other well known plays. This alone should be guarantee sufficient to fill the house on his appearance here, He is surrounded by a company of metropolitan artists. Awmong the most promnent are Miss Mary Treat, the bright little soubrett who has won ap- plause from coast to coast, Miss Mary Stuart, the young and talented actress. The famous comedians, Guss Cohun and William Boyer, we can truthfully say as delineators of Irish and negro characterers they are unexcelled. The play is a pure and refined comedy melodrama and from beginning to end is chaste and full of fun. It wuthfully depicts the checkered career of & ranchman's life with grctesquely ludicrous situations, inter- mixed with scenes of pathos. The scene opens up at the Ranch King's home in the Langham country, and shifts from there to the sunny land of old Mexico, with a highly romantic finale. A play of the day, amusing and instructing to all alike, interspersed with refined specialties, new sparkling catchy songs and dances by a bevy of beautifal girls, comic and wity sayings by great com- edlans; introducing the wonderful acting dog, Trix, and the Ranch King's horse Nero, the Roman charger.

Shortly before 11 o'clock last night, Sam Gardner, the once famous negro minstrely Dreathed his last in a room at 1221 Douglasg street. For two weeks the 0ld man had been confined to his bed with a complication of discases, but until yesterday he expressed the hope that he would recover. His rugged constitution, however, could not withstand the inroads disease had made on it, and, sury rounded by many of his companjons of later days, he quietly passed away. The final passing away of the old minstrel was attended with tears and the kind minis« trations of friends, Mrs. Floyd, wife of Colonel Floyd, sat on the edge of the bed of death and wept bitterly. Mr. and Mrs, Floyd had been warm friends of Mr, Gards ner, aud ‘respected him for his many fina qualities, Harry H. Leonard, who had been a faithful nurse to the old many was also greatly affccted, as were James Gibbons, John Donaldson and a number of 'lady acquaintence. Tha deceased has a sister living in Rochester, N. Y, and a brother in Utica of the same stato, They were apprised of his death by teles graph, and until they are heard from tha foriual disposition of the remains will not be decided upon. The news of Sam’s death quickly spread throughout the city, and condoling" friends arrived rapidly at the death chamber and gazed with sadness on the features of the de- parted. 014" Sam Gardner, as he was invariably called, was a familiar figure in Omaha, He wasa Hercules in form, handsome in features, and 1 demeanor gentlemanly and attractive. Age, however, had caused him in later years to walk less erectly, and his white hair, and whiter and longer beard gave him a venera- ble appearance, He was a native of New York, and of the seventy years of his life forty' were spent on " the stage. Ha was one of the very first burnt cork minstrels in the country, and at the time of his death the oldest living. He started in the business with the AZolians in 1840, He was known al over the country and there was not a city of any note in the United States in which he had nov appeared, He had resided in Omaha since 1867, and, during the intervening time had been identis fied with his profession and the saloon and hotel business. His last appearance with & professional company on the road was as a member of the Leadville minstrels, which ha organized with & number of other variety show people who, being out of funds in the Colorado mining camp, were anxious to res turn to civilization. The company played ag towiis on the line until it reached Omaha, when it disbanded, Since then $am has only appeared on the stage at the Olympic, whera he played a brief engagement. His last ems ployment was a8 door keeper for the same place of amusement. About two years ago his wife died in Omaha, and since then Sam has lived alone, He had hosts of friends throughout the city and all will be saddened at the snnouncemenf of his death.
