AMUSEMENTS, The engagement of the Bostonians at the Grand Opera house came to o close last mght after throe very successful perform- ances, the closing one being “Fatmnitza.’ Considering the season, the attendance, both n numbers and sociul standing, was of the highest order. In the last performance Miss Stono and Mr. Karl failed to#ppear. Their absence of course was noted by hunareds of friends. The performance as wholo failed to arouse the audience as did that of the preceding uight, but it was, nevertheless, in_many respocts an excollent one, The company continue their journey 10 the cast to-day ATTACKING KASPAR., Wheeler Will Not Explain His Alla- sion of Tuesday Night. Mr. Wheeler was seen in regard to bis in- sinuations before the council Tuesday night that Councilman Kaspar had interpolated cer- tain sentences in resolutions passed vpon by that body. He refused to make more specific charges. He added, however: “Nobody shall steal from me if I know it.”” He then referred the reporter to Mr. Chaffee, saying that that councilman kuew all about the matter referred to. Mr. Chaffee was seen, but, while ho ad- mitted that he knewon what Wheeler's charges were basoed, he refused to s thing about the matter. The fight was be- tween Wheeler und Kaspar, and he did not care to be drageed into it. He said that Mr. Wheeler knew as much about the matter as be did. If Mr. Wheelor bad made a state- ment he thought that that geutleman ought to stand by it like a man. Councilman Kaspar, upon being questioned concerning the matter, said that he prosumed Mr. Wheeler was angry becausobe (Kaspar) had not favored a petition to grade the alley betweon Farnam and Harney on Tiwenty- sixth streot. Ho says wmatters have to go over ofzen because some member of the cou- mittee refuses Lo u)gu the papers, but that he alwuys gous through with matters of busi- ness as quickly as possible. Pours’ is the purest Wd best soap over made. LS s No Fire Protection, The lack of proper fueilities for extin- guishing fires in the vicinity of Waluut Hill has been fully demonstrated in the recent fire which ocourred there, when three cot- tages were burned to the ground and a fourth badly damaged, Adolph Meyer, the owner of the buildiugs, stated that the wator facilities were amplo, but the people have uo protection against fires because there is no engine house nearer than Twenty-fourth and Saunders, aud by the time ao engine can reach that locality the fire can get such & start that it is iwpos- sible Lo extinguish it. An effort was wade some time ago to have an engine-house erected at Walnut Hill, but nothing was accomplished. The people there pay city taxes and feal that :‘hay '1'% entitied to proper proteotion against fires. The mayor has called the attention of the chlef :} {he fire department to this matter, with the re- quest that he rocommend the establishment of an engine-house as desired. The matter will probably be brought before the next meeting of the board of fire and police com- missioners. Chiof Galligan's attention was directed to the matter. stated that he fully agreed with Mr. Mayer as to the necessity of an en- gino housa on Walnut Hill, but that no fands were available for such a purpose. Ho said that Dr. Mercer had offered the fire depart- ment a lot at Walnut Hill, but the firo com- missioners had no funds with which to build on it; hence nothing could be done for the prosent. A COMMISSION SWINDL How ‘‘Harrison & Co try Proauce The commission firm of Harrison & Co. has gono out of business by the sudden de- parturo of the head of the firm, and thereby hangs a talo, tho recital of which will cause wailing and gaashing of teoth and the coin- age of new swear words among the country merchants 1a the territory tributary to Omaha, 3 Late m the winter, & shrewd appearing man, about thirty years of age, hung the sign of Harrison & (%0.” over the door of tho brick store at 1808 St. Mary's avenuo, and_announced himself as the head of a great firm of commission merchants, As thie produce season opened, he flooded the mails with_circulars explaining to country merchants the magnificenee of his establish- ment, Ho laid particular stress upon his storage facilities and wrote extravagant de- seriptions of his refrigerator with a capacity for 20,000 pounds of butter, and his cold storage room which furnished room for 150,000, Ho was liberal, too, and when the other commission firms of the city were offering 11 cents per dozen for eggs *Harri- son & Co.” bulled the market at 18 and 14 cents. The result was natural. Consign- maonts camo to him in large numbers, He refused to dabble with the petty rotail trade of Omaha and reshipped his products atonce to the Boston market. He was prompt in ovorything save his remittances, Plausible excuses were plenty, however, and his time was_ pretty evenly divided betieen shipping goods to Boston and writing to his customors, promising o pay them tho amount due the firstof next week. This method was kept up until July 1, when some of the coun- try merchants became obstinate. One of them wrote that unless he receivea from ““Harrison & Co.” the amount due him, he would report the matter to Tur Ber, and, in the course of the letter, called tho alleged commission prince some names that would not look well in print. “Harrison & _Co)” wrote a reply threatening to have the irate customer arrested for sending obscene literature through the mails, and of course promis to remit “tho first of next week.” In the meantime other customers began to clamor for their dues, and *“*Harrison & Co.” found it unhealthy to remain longer in the city. So, on Saturday night, he turned the koy in _his door and took a train for Boston, His mammoth re- frigerator has dwindied to a $3 ice chest that never held anything but ice enough to koep his beer palatable. No estimate can bo made of tho amount he secured by his short method of dealing, but his victims are found in almost every town in the state. J. W. Ingles, of Pleasant Hill, wrote to the chief of police, the letter arriving to- day, asking for the arrest of “‘Harrison,” but the messaga came too late, the bird had flown. “‘Harrison & Co.'s” real name 18 John Roach, and bis former homa was at Kalama- 200, Mich.

Dewey, of this aity, left two wooeks ago for Alaska, and on his way west stopped at Tacoma, The morning Globe of that city prints an interview with him, July 2, in which, among other things, Le is quoted as follows: “Speaking of Omaha's wonderful growth Mr. Dewey said: *The city now has 130,000 inhabitants and forty miles of beautifully paved streets, A postoffice to cost a _round million dollars is shortly to be erected; also an immense union depot for all the railroads to center in. It will be a ten story brick and stono building, and will cost about a million. The new building for Tug DarLy Hee, erected by E. Rosewater, is the largest news- paper building in the world, and is & grand ornament to the city. Aunother bridee con- nects Council Bluffs with Omaha. The city also has a new county hospital, which is a splendid building, and the place is_ramified with cable and electric car lines. Altogether Omaba is away up.’ “Mr. Dewey will retun from _Alaska, ar- riving in Tacoma on the 15th. He will visit Shoshone falls again, and take in Denver on his way home, where he will arrive about the 1st of August.” The following is only one of over fitty families who have testified to the cures effected by Chamberlain’s Colic,Cholera and Diarrheen Remedy in Pope county, Ill., during the epidemic of bloody flux las* summer. Daniel W. Poe, Rock P. O.,says: I tried it for a bad case of the flux and found three doses sufficient. After that T took it in_smaller doses now and then. I gave it to my family in the same way during the epidemic and had no trouble.” WHAT PEOPLE TALK ABOUT. Views and Interviews Caught Hotel Corridors and Elsewhere. Politics promises to occupy a great deal of attention in South Dakota this year. State ofiicers, two United States senators and two members of congress at large are to be elected. The constitutional convention is now in session at Sioux Falls, and by reason of the fact that there are scores of candi- candidates, the convention 1s an_interesting and lively one. Hon. D. J. Simmons of Rapid City, Dak., who visited Omaha this weelk, talked on the situation. When gues- tioned by a Beg reporter: “One of the son- ators,” said he, “is conceded to our end of the state, and Judge Moody, of Deadwood, will be the man, e has no opposition and could not be defeated if ho had, The judge is a very popular, strong man, and broad gauged enough to represent a dozen states. The east end will get the other senator. ‘That section has two candidates, 3. I, Pet- tigrew, of Sioux Falls, and A. J. Edgerton, of Yankton. The chances now seem to be in favor of Pettigrow's selection. Both of them, however, are strong men, and the state wiil be well represented by either. A. C. Mellette, the present governor of the old territory, i4 a8 yet the only candidate for gubernatorial honors. I can’t say whether he will have any opposition or not. Itis safe to predict, however. that he will. I don’t believe, though, that the opposition can bring out a man to defeat him. He was appointed by President Harrison, and a majority of the people rather feel that he . is entiled to at least one term under the sta'e government.” Mr, Sunmons declared that Rapid City and the Black Hills region were largely favor- able to Pierre for the state capital over any other point. The Bostonians made a phenominal hit in San Francisco. Tom Karl says that the busimess they did there for four weeks was simply evormous. **We opened uunostenta- tiously agaiust the Booth-Barrett combina- tion, and the first night or two our audiences wors fairly good, but they kept on increas- ing right along, and the last two weeks peo- pia were turped away. It was rem able tosee women standing in the aisl and along the walls every night. Iam sure that next season we will receive a warm wel- come. The press treated us vory kindly.” Mr. Karl states that their trip to tho coast this time was au_experiment. *When Will Davis and Al Haymau made us the offor to g0 under thelr management we readily ac copted, and ave glad_of it.

They were seut to their destination in the afternoon. Passers by a house in Devonshire treot, Boston, at late hours of the night are appalled by the spectacle of a wo- man enyeloped in flames rushing franti- cally out of the front door. Hastening to her reliel she vanishes like a mist before the wind, Itisall hallucination, or & flery ghost or disembodied spirit. But a real tragedy was once enacted there of similar import. Yes, a man killed his young, beautiful, newly wedded wife there. For some petty offense he poured spirits of turpentine upon her nlouunu and put fire to it, and she ran screaming into the street and was eoon dead. It is supposed that her restiess spirit revisits the scene of the tragedy. HOW TO MAKE MEN PROPOSE A Praotioal Hint to a Group of Giddy Girls, MODJESKA, NOBLEST OF WOMEN.

You'ro sorry you suld it; "Twas anger that made those words fall. Then take me yoursclf, dear, aud don't let death have me, For I don’t want to die after all. Are you longing for Modjeska, Noblest of Women. The San Francisco Examiner prints the following communication from a lady who attended the benefit recently given thero for Joffreys Lewis: To the Editor of the Lxaminer 5 I think the world shouid kunow more of the noble action of that grand woman, Helena Modjeska, at the benefit of Jef- fro Lewis. I have never in all my ex- perience as a theatre-goer known of anything approaching it. Modjeska is one of the few who appreciate her sis- ter artist's trials and sufferings, terriblo events in her life, nameless hero, tho mewory of which has knawed her inner heart for yours. Hearing of her pov- erty and distress, Modjeska extended her hand to the poor woman and gave her a benefit that filled the Baldwin theater. When the two were called before the curtain, Miss Lewis thanked the audi- ence for their kindness, and then said gracefully that she could not take it as a tribute to herself, but to Modjeska alone, “without whose presence,” she added, “‘there could be no audience in this theater to-night.” She then step- ped to Modjeska, and, lifting her hand, kissed it like one who considered even such an act presumption, Like a flash Modjeska drew her hand from tho other’s lips, and for an instunt the audience thought she had spurned the familiarity, and then—she folded the poor woman in her arms and kissed her twice upon the mouth. The act caused a burst of applause to ring out such as has seldom been heard in any theater in San Francisco, and then a man in the pit mounted a chair and shouted: “Three cheers noblest of women!” And you can rest assured that three cheers were given with a will, Mr. Editor, I may have dwelt too long ou this scene, but never was the sermon of charity so eloquently preached from any pulpit, and I am certain that no woman in that audience with a woman’s heart in her willever forget that lesson. As no journal in this cily has made mention of the same, I have taken the liberty of describing it as best I know how and trust that a woman’s prayer to grant her space to publish this will be granted. A LADY SUBSCRIBER. for Modjesku, the The Origin of Women. ‘Woman’s first appearance has been a fruitful subject for the legend mongers. The Pheenician myth of creation is found in the story of Pygmalion and Galatea, says the Pall Mall Gazette. There the first woman was carved by the first man out of ivory and then en- dowed with life by Aphrodite. The Greek theory of the creation of woman, according to Hesiod, was that Zeno, as a cruel jost, ordered Vulcan n make woman out of clay, and then i duced the various gods and goddesses to invest the clay doll with all their worst qualities, the result being a lovely thing, with a witchery of mien, refined craft, eager passion, love of dress, treacherous manners and a shameless mind. T he Scandinavians say that as Odin, Vill and Ve, the three sons of Bor, were walking along the sea beach, they found two sticks of wood, one of ash and one of elm. Sitting down, the gods shaped man and woman out of these sticks, whittling the woman from the elm and calling he Emia. One of the strangest stories touching the origin of woman is told by the Madagasearines. In so far as the creation of man goss tho legend is not unlike that related by Moses, only that the fall came before lve arrivod. After the man had eateu of the for- biaden fruit he became affocted with a boil on th: leg, out of which, when it burst, came a beautiful girl. The man’s first thought was to throw her to the pigs, but he was commanded by a mes- gor from heaven to play among the diggings until she was of murringeable age, then to make her his wife. He did s0, called her Barboura, and she became the mother of all races of men. The American Indians’ myths rela- tive to Adam and Eve are num and entertaining. Some wraditions trace back our first parents to white and red Maoze; another is that wman, searching for a wife, was given the daug hter of the king of muskrats, who, on being dipped into a neighboring lake, became a woman. Kate Field's Pluck, Miss Kate Field is a brillinnt and charming woman. She is thoroughly i sarnest, and has the coursge of her convictions, says the Atlanta Constitu- tion, It was a mistake, therefore, for the probibitionists to attack and insult her for lecturing in Penusylvania on “The Intemperance of Prohibition,” Miss Field honestly believes in high li- cense, and sho agrees with the Rev. Howard Crosby that temperance in this country will be brought about by the substitution of cheap, lt'ht, ure native wines and beers for distilled spirits. Recently she heard that some of the prohibitionists did not like it because she was engaged to lecture before the New York Chautaugus in August, on Used by the United States Government and Public Food Analysts, as the Strongest, Purest and most Healthful mmonia, 1.ime or Alam. , Almond, Rose, ete., do notcontain I Baking Powder does not contain A tracts, Vanilla, Lemon, Oray PRICE BAKING POWDER CO..
