And she in re- turn left with the thousands who listened onraptured to her marvelous vocalization a memory of her superlative gift of song that will never be effaced. Yesterday's oporatio experienco was not simply a source of excep- tional delight and gratification; it was a revelation of musical beauty and excel- lence such as we venture to say is extremely rare anywiero, Rossini's “Barber of Se- { ville" is one of the most pleasing and tune- fal of operas. Its musio 18 spriehtly and vivacious, nowhere very difficult, but hav- ing numbors that require skillful and care- ful exccution. Its presentation yesteraay left nothing to Lo desired, and all who re- gretted that 80mo Othor opera Was not se- lected must have been entirely satisfied when the performavce was ended. With Pati as Rosina, Ra« velli as Count I’ Almavivse, Mare oalehi as Figaro, and Signor Carone as Dr. Bartolo, it may be doubted iwhether tho overa as a whole ever received in this coun- Ary more effecive and brilliant treatment. 1t was in all rospocts a most notable success. 1t need hardly be said that to the delignt- ful resultof this memorable entertaiment Mme, Patti contributed most largely, and her generous willingness to gratify the desires of the audience hear more from her than tho somewhat re- stricted demands of the music of Rosina was characteristic of the peerless donna, Mmae.. Patts was cordially greeted on her first ap- pearance, and the great sudienco settled down to close attention to every note that oamo from the incomparable singer. Warm applause awarded her charming rendering of the spirited music and her no less pleas ing presentation of the piquant, nawe and coquettish characteristics of IRosina, but the audience koew there was something to come that would make a sironger demand for expressions of delight and gratification. The programme an- nounced that Patti would introduce in the leason sceno of the second act Arditti's Il Baccio,” and on her appearance in this scene the eager expectancy of the audiedce was distinctly manifested. It was but a few moments to tho realization, ana as the first notes of the delightful kiss waltz floated ~ over tho house they were greeted with an expression of gra fication that clearly denoted how ea- gerly tho audience had waited for this feature of the programme. In the hush that followed every note of the charming produc- tion was distinctly heard, aud a_great vol- ume of applause repaid Patti for her brilliant effort. Hefore the enthusiasm of the aud- ience nad abated several beautiful floral tributes were conveyed to the stage, und then ensued an ovation such as Omuha had never before kuoown. and which even 80 great @ singer as Patti could be proud of, The applause was gen eral, hearty and prolonged, abating only when Patti stepped forward 'to assure tho sudience that its call upon her shoula be honored. Ana how splendidly it was hon- ored noue preseat will ever forget! A brief moment of comparative quiet, and the audi- ence caugnt the first straios from the or- chestra of,*Home, Sweet Home.” This was an unlooked for delight, and was greeted with a storm of upplause that was succeedod by & perfect silence when Patti begun the tender and touching song whose simpie words and sweet music reaches svery heart that ever knew a home. - And nover has it been sung with greater feeling and more pa- thetic effcct—sung as 1t always should be, in it plain simplicity without the least embel- dishment. ‘There wece many moist eyes in with sympathetic emotion. longed storm of applause swepl across the yast auditorium and would not be quieted until Patti advanced and rgpeated the second verse. That the great artiste was herself much affected by this impressive in- cident, as she afterward said, was apparent. It was of a nature to touch the hearis of people Jess used to teuder emotions than Adelina Patti, Enough has been said n general terms in commendation of this exceptionully meritori- ous entertainment, and it 13 uunecessary to particular It was a marked event in the musical experience of Omaha, which those who were 80 fortunate as to' participate in wili always remember with unmixed pleas- ure.

And so for the nonce *‘I'he Lives of the Saints" wnd “The Solemnity of Lent” were laid aside and the representatives of Owmala's *'400" turned out to fisten to the divine artiste's rendition of “Home, Sweet Home,” or the less known **Bee Ruggin” and become slaves 10 the witchery of Patti's Rosini. From foyer, loges, balcony and parquet familiar faces of persons who led or partici- mm in the german or danced the best ger de Coverly, were seen, and then came the stranger f{aces, all cowmbiving to make us perfect an ensemble as oce could desire.

She has to b up into little trills and tricks to deceive the public. She has such kittenish litils ways that she first captures the peonle and makes them believe she is next to divine.

Patti's dress in the first act was very dainty and pretty, 1t was made of yellow silk with blacn lace fiounces, pale biuo sash, black velvet bodice trimmed with gold lace. But her second costume was a jewel in itself, and in itshe sang the never-to-be- forgotten “Home, Sweet Home.” It was wold-embroidered net with spangles deftly woven in the material, surmounted by a smart_zouave jacket of green, Spanish cut, embroidered in gold. Her supple waist was encircied by a red sacque, which gave a vivandiere appearance to the whole which was completed by a white bodice. With this fetching gown she wore a large number of her diamonds. The inevitable baby was there with langs. Swall bonnets and tears of gratitude min- gled with each other, It was a grand house. In the parquet was Miss Minnie Hawke of Nebraska City, one of the richest young womeu in tho state, and just as sensible as she is rich. Mr. Will Morris was there with Miss Fan- nie Richardson.

Patti. The look of intense surpriso which illumined her. face found n reflex in the faces of the audience. Standing upon a broad baso it mensured six feet, the star in the center having n diametyr of eighteen inches. It was composed of lilies of the valley, lilies of the Nile and callus, carna. tions, Koman hyaciothes, Dutch bhya- cithes and elysium, with smilax to give it the evorgrcon appoarance, whilo carelessly thrown across the base was a beautiful American beauty. The weight of the immense floral piece was close on to 200 pounds, It was so constructed that 1t will last nearly a fortnight and was sent with the diva to Lousyille, where 1t will be exbibited, no doubt, as an example of what Omaha en- terprise can do, It was handled by four men and carried on the stage betwoen tho flies after Mme, Patti had sung “11 Bacio,” which brought out Payne’s soulful melody.

Six thousand people packed close together under one roof and in one room notonly makes a sight worth seeing but one not often witnessed. Thoere were that many congre- gated at the Coliseum yesterday afternoon to see, hear, admire and apolaud the great Patti. How they all got there and what was done after arriving are the subjects for special description in this brief uccount. When the doors were throwu opea at 12 o'clock about one hundred men, women and school children holding general admission tickets were anxiously waiting to get in and secure first choice of amphitheatre sittings, After being admitted they quickly captured and avpropriated advantageous positions on either side of the ground floor entrance. For an hour the comers arrived in pairs and squads of holf a dozen from two to three minutes apart, and then suddealy there was a perfect sea of people surging, swaying and crowding about the doors. lverbody. however, acted good-naturedly. They took their regular turn in the stream that flowed through both entrances and went to thewr seats without creating the least confusion. Between 1 and half vusi 2 o'clock the ticket takers had all they could do to caten the bits of pasteboards as fust a8 they were offered. And during that time cable trains loaded to the limit dashed up every two minutes, and the street in both directions for a distauce of at least two cks was filled with vehicles waiting to the entrance platform and deposit their occupants. With @ string of carriagos constantly pass- ing along between the cable track and Coli- seum doors, and thousands of people flock- ing through, it is somewhat remarkable that not an accident of any sort occurred. Men and women apparently climbed over and crawled under the horses and hacks, but they did it in such a way us to prevent col- lision and escape injury. Tt was a uniformly well dressed and very intelligent looking crowd. A cold wind and blowing snow prevented the fashionable la- dies wearing their opera costumes; still, therv were displayed severai sealskin coats and fashionably made wraps. Until long after the first act of “I! Bar- bier di Seviglia'” was over the throng con- tinued to pour in, and any one watching it might have easily wondered where 80 many people having time to neglect ‘busiuess half B duy came from. One thiug certan, they wore not all citizens of Omaha, by uny means, Hundreds of strangers, profoundly impressed with the magnitude and excite- ment of the occasion, alighted from the carriages. All in all, whether viewad from without or within, it was the greatest aud grandest event Omana has ever had. THE AUDIENCE One of the Larzest That Kver Assem- bled In Thi: City. ‘The audience, undoubtedly the larzest that ever assembled in the city of Omaha, af- forded a picture worth more than a pretty penny to bebold. Lovely faces snd dia- monds, handsome toilets, aud, all in all, a very brilliant and exceptionally intelligent assemblage, made up a sceno but seldom seen in any western city. The ladies viewed the pingers through their glasses until the incomoarable diva herself appeared, when her charm instantly touched all with its magic power. All reserve disuppeared as before the wand of an ommpotent ne mancer, and everyone jomed in the great ovation as if a talisman had been invoked, and a roseate color o'erspread the swhole vast throng. Mr. Grau remarked thav it was equal to any first night performance in the display of fair women and brave men aud the general good feeling and enthusiasm that prevailed. The vast auditorium was a sea of people, and their beaming, expectant faces, enlivened by the multifarious hues of raiment, was an interesting study before the first rising of the curtain, All over the house ladies and gentlemen were constantly rising to get a look over tho tremendous crowd, and & murmur 6ot uo- like that which comes in from the sea filled the building as expressions nf surprise and delight went forth from thousands of lips. The parquet, or auditorium, was filled to the last row of se as was the general admission area, which included the dress circle, while wall flowers abundantly decorated tho sides and filled all lable space. At the close of the programme the dis- peraing of the crowd affordea another exhil- arating scene, and it wus fally s half an hour before the last of thoss in the audito- rium succeeded in leaving the building For this period a perfect streéam of people were pouring from ull its numerous exits, and the hurrying to and fro without, in the search for private carriages, coupes, and the cable cars, resembied the breaklng up of some gi- gautic political meeting, Hundreds of peo- ple 100k commanding positions, and watched with unabated interest the melting away of this vast and glorious audience, as if loth Lo acknowledge that the affair was over and the Patti matinee history. OLOSING »sUENES, Deserting the Auditorivmn and the Miva's Ride to Town, It required nearly fifteen minutes for the audience to emerge from the building. The vust auditorium could have been emptied in @ much shorter time, had it been desired. But the suditors seemed ib no hurry to leavea scece the recollection of which will long remain o many & mind. They walked leisurely and methodically through the main entrance, commenting the while on the diva's great act and marveling at her ability und the remarkable sudience which had as- sewbled at Ler call. ‘When the outer stmosphere was reached, the desire o tiad their carriage or catch a car precluded any other consideration.

It is somewhal remarkablo that, with a streot thronged with buman beings and lined with almost quadrupte lines of carriages, throngh which the cars were forced to mako their way, not a single acoident was reported. This 'is to bo attributed to the good sense displayed by the drivers and grip men, the precaution of Superintendent ~ Tucker wnd the officiont work of a squad of police under Sergeant Whalen. At length, however, the crowd disap. peared. Ouly a fow lojterers hung around tho almost deserted building. These were of both sexes and of all conditions in life. Some of them bad seon tho diva on the stage. Some of them not. But all wanted to obtain a parting viow of the great singer, a view which perhaps they might recall with intorest when Patti should be no more. But they were all disappointed. The lady made her ap- pearance sooner than had been expected. She was accompaniod by Sig. Nicolini who carried a couple of satchels, The lady's face, almost 1o the eyes, was covered with a heavy black veil over which her eyes beamed in a kindly and modest manter. o had evidently not removed her “make up” from her face, and beneath a hesvy cloak she wore the pretty costume in which she had been soen us the curtain dropped on tho final chorus of the opera. Her right arm rested in Nicolini’s and in her left she bore a beautiful Chihuahua dog, which she procured in Mexico, and to which sho has become greatly attached. The lttle ani- mal's head protruded from within the folds of the diva's cloak, revealing a cov- ering of white 'silk which foll besido the lady like the ornamental diep of a baby. The pair made haste to the aarriage which had been waiting for it. As the lady en- tered the vehicle some enthusiasts clapped their hands, which the lady recognized by a gentle bow and which Nicolini acknowledged by uncovering his head. The noxt instant the carriage rolled away and the great operatic event was a thing of tho past. Departure or Mme, Patti. Mme.

The diva said that she had enjoyed her visit here, and was very well pieased with the flattering roception shown her by the people of this section yes- terday. Manager Grau said that the matinee audi- ence was not only the largest, but one of the finest they had (eutertaiued 1bis season, and he, too, felt gratified at having come to Omaba, S| Biographical, Adelina Pattywas born February 19, 1843, at Madrid and Was the youngest daughter of Salvadore Patti) ' ltalian singer, who died 1n 1869, and a Spansh mother, also a singer well known in Spain and Italy, before her marriage with Patti, as Signora Berilli.aThe parents of Adeliba went to America, where sho was taken as‘a child. Having shown great aptitude for music, Mlle. Patti re- ceived jnstruction 16 ainging from Maurice Strakosch, who married her oldest sister, Amelia. She appearsd in public in America, at a Yery early age,and. was woll received, but was wisely withdrawn for some years for the purpose of study. She reavpeared November 24, 185, at New. York as Lucia, and played other parts, in all of which she was successful, Putti made her debut in England in 1501, a¢ the Royal Italian Opera. as Amiua, with . wonderful success, and from that tme became famous, although quite. unknown before, She repeated that part no less than eight times, and confirmed her success by her per- formance.of Lucia, Violetta Zeriina, Don Giovanni, Martba and Rosina. She sang that autumn at the Birminghum festival in opera at Manchester, Liverpool, etc., and afterwards was engaged at Borlin, Brus- sels and Paris. From 1861 to the present time Mme, Patti has sung at Covent Garden every year. Mume. Patti made an oporatic tour in the provinces in 1862, sang at the Birmingham festival of 1504, notably as | Adab, at the production of “Naa- mau;” at the Handel festivals of 1865, 1877 and 1850, at the Liverpool festival of 1874, as well as in several brill- iant provincial concert tours. She has en- joyed the same popularity on the continent, having _filled soveral engagements at Paris, Vieuna, St Petorsburg, Mos- cow, etc., and in various cities of Ger- many, Italy, Spain, etc. Her voice Is of moderate power but great compass, reaching to I'in alt.; her execution is brilhant and finished and she has considerable charm, both of person and manner, Her reportoire is extensive, upward of thirty characters, chiefly of the Italian scihool, many of which, h as “Martha,” ‘“Norma,” ‘Adioa,'’ inda,” “Lucia,” *“Desdemona.” *“Ninet- ! “Bemiramide,” eto., were revived for her; she is also at home in the works of Meyerbcer and Gounod.

CLEVELAND, O., March 4.—[Special Tele- gam to Tug Bee]—In an interview this evening Al Johnson, president of the Cleve- land Brotherhood club, seemed as happy as o clam, and 1nvimated that he did not care much what the league peopie did, as theis goose was'already well roasted. **Wait till next week,” he said; ‘‘then you'll ses the Rreatest ot of baseball magnates in Amer- ica.

STRONG ASSERTIONS MADE, Breckinridge Protests Against Oharg: ing the Democrntic Party With Clayton’s Murdor—Son- ate Matters. Hous ‘WasmiNGTON, March 4.—A resolution re- questing the president to send to the house copies of all the correspondence between the United States and Mexico relating to the seizure at Tampico of the schooner Rebecca in February, 1834, was roferred. The fol- lowing committce on appointments was an- nounced by the speaier: Messrs. Tarsney of Missouri and Reybern of Pennsylvania on claims; Brickton of Wisconsin on Missis- sippi levees, and Cheadle of Indisna on post- oftices and postroads. The consideration of the Arkansas con- tested election case of Foatherstoue vs Cate ‘wus then resumed. Mr. Dalizell of Penn- sylvania wook the floor. In supporting the clain of the contestant Mr. Dalzell said in the election of the First district rifles, revolvers and bowie kuives had played an importaut part, This district, he said, udjoined the district in which Clay- ton, o man of national reputation, while in the exercise of the right which belonged to the humbiest American citizen, had been murdered in cold blood at the very foot of the altar of liberty. Mr. Dalzell confined his remarks principaliy to the election meth- ods of the democrats of Crittenden couuty charging intimidation and fraud and contro- verting the statement made by Mr, Outh- waite that there was no evidenco that the *‘double action’ ballot box had been used n the county. Mr. Crisp submitted an argument in favor of the claims of tho contestee, Cate. The case, he sa d, was & peculiar one. Counsel for the contestant was Dudley, better kuowa perhaps as “Blocks of Five" Dudley. It was an interesting thing to hear a_notorious gentlemun discussing before the commitiee on elections the importauce of the purity of the ballotand the becessity of giving the voter the untrammeled and free right to vote a8 he pleased. Mr. Crisp then took up the evidence in the case and argued that in its report the majority of the comwitteo had notobeyed the law of fair play, a law which was dear to the American people. Mr. Rowell of Illinois charged that the apparent majority through which the vou- testee obtained s title 1o the seat was pro- cured by a crime of the highest - character, which if not perpetrated would have turned his apparent majority into a wminority. He criticised the governor of Arkuusas for al- Jowing 100 armed men to expel from their positions the legal officers of a county without raising his hand to vindicate the law. The day had come in the history of the United States when the people had de- termined that the constitution which en- franchised the black man should no longer be nullifiea. Mr, Moore asserted that the testimony taken by the contestant in Memphis was & forgery in all particulars, Mr. Breckinridge of Arkansas referred to the peaceful condition of affairs in Arkansas which brovght Mr. Kelly of Kansas to his feot with the question as to what had be- come of the colored detective who had gono to the gentleman’s district o find out who had murdered the wmau whose bloody shoes the gentleman stood in today. Mr. Breckiaridge said the negro had heen ongaged in trying tolook up the murderers of Colonel Cluytor. He hada got into difii- culty with a boy—a republican boy—whose father was a reoublican. The negro was arunk and applying an approbrioas epithet to the boy struck him with a stone. 1he boy shot him. The geatleman not only had gone ugainst the testimony in the pending case but nearly every member who bad spoken on the other side had spoken of the death of his lamented opponent as if it had bsen the result of the aewocratic policy. The com- mittee had before it the whole case. It had not summoned a witness and he told the case had not been docketed. Yet, as if it had been tried and found i all its con- clusions, members came here and smirched not his nawe and his honor only, but the honor of the people he represented. Was that evidence of the fairness his people were to recevot Mr. Springer thought the case had not been thoroughly investigaied and favored a resolution, which he said he would offer at the proper time, appropriating $10.000 to enable a sub-committee of the committee on elections ta proceed to the Iiret district of Arkansas and investigato the election. Mr, Grosvenor d he would move to amend this resolution by donbling the ap- propriation and by haviog the investigauon extended to other Arkuusas districts, Mr. Springer—1 accept that.

Also, the acids ¢ the apple are of signal use for men of sedentary habits, whose !ivers are slug- gish in action; these eliminate from the body noxious mat- ters which, if retained, would make the brain heavy and dull, or bring about jaundice or skin eruptions and other allied troubles. Some such an exper- ienco must have led to our custom of taking apple sauce with roast pork, rich goose and like dishes. The malic acid of ripe apples, either raw or cooked, will neutralize any ex- cess of chalky matter engendered by eating too much meat. It isalso the fact that such fresh fruits as the apple, the pear and vhe plum, when taken ripe and without sugar, diminish acidity in the stomach rather than provoke it. Their vegetables saits and juices are nyerted 1nto alkaline carbonates, which tend to counteract acid A Zood ripe raw appleis one of the easiest of vegetable substances for the stomach to deal with, the whole process of its digestion being® completed in eighty-five minutes. Gerard found that ~ the “pulps of roasted apples mixed in a wine quart of faire water and jabored together until it comes to be as” apples and ale—which we call lambeswool—never faileth in certain dis of the raines, which myseif hath often proved and gained thereby both crownes und eredit.” “The par- ing of an apple. cut somewhat thick, and the insiae whereof is laid to hot, burning or running eyes at night, when the purty gocs to bed, aud is tied or Jbound to the same doth help the troublo vory speedily, and contrary to expecta- tion—an excellent secret.” A poultice muce of rotten apples is of very common use in Lincolnshire for the cure of weak und rheumatic eyes. Likewise, in the Hotel des Invalides at Paris an apple poultice is used com- monly for inflamed eye the apple being roasted and its pulp applied over the eyes without any iutervening sub- stance. Long ago ivwas said that ap- and speedily pass through refore they do mollity the and for the same reason a modern maxim teaches that---To eat an apple oing to bed, the doctor then will beg his bread. et BABIES WITH PATCHED HEADS. the belly, th The Fun Way the Japnosse Chil- dren Are Roared I'om ¢ abvhoot Jupanese babies are not pampered and petted and made into hot-hous plants.

The father gives three names to the priest, and he writes them on separate pieces of paper, which are mixed together,und then, with certain formws, thrown into the air, The first that falls is the chosen one. Ancient customs provide that the baby clothes may be left off on the seventy-fifth day after birth, but they must be left off on the 120th, which is the time set for weaning the child. There are elaborate ceremonies con- nected with this, one of which is that as feeding by hund begins then, if the child is a boy it must be fed by a gentle- man_of the family; if a girl, by a lady.
