Buggestions for the Entertainment of Presi- dont Harrison and Party, WILL ARRIVE IN OMAHA NEXT WEEK, Ofticials and Prominent Citizens Sug- gest Various Methods o ingthe tion's ¢ hie tive a Fitting Reception. President Harrison and party will arrive in Omaha, if the present schedulo itinerary isnot changed, on the afternoon of May 18 and will remain in the city six hours, Tho prosidential party has mot an ovation atovory city along the route and leading citizens of Omuha are anxious to give the chief executive a royal welcome to the great metropolis of the groat west. How to do this isn question that is belug consiuered. Tho following suggostions havo been made by men who usually take an active part in such ovonts: Major Clarkson—I would suggest an ap- propriation by the city council of sufficient amount to entertam the party in suitablo style, in order that tho move might bo one by the city and not by individuals, There shoula bo a committee of prominent citizens, mem- bors of the city council, board of trade and othor bodies, for the aispensing of this money. In my opinion the eutertainment should con- sist of n drive about the clty, and a recop- tlon. This would give tho president an op- portunity to see the city and the people and glvoe the people an opportunity to seo him. 1 don't think it would bo best to attempt to give a banquet a8 the president would very likely not eare to attend a banquet. It would be u very good 1dea for the governor to meet the president ot the state line and escort him across the state. When the party arrived at Lincoln ana Omaha those cities could take entire charge of thoe party, but the governor should do the honors en route, Mr. Thomas Swobe doubtedly comes west for the purposo of seeing the country and the people, and I think wo should do all we can to further his mm. Thoe party could be given ® drive about the city aud taken to the prin- clpal points of intorest, such as tho smelting works, and, possibly, to South Omaba, to take a view of the packing houses, A recep- tion would give the peopio an opportunity 1o sco the prosident and would probably be as satifactory as anything which could bo de- vised. Hon. John M. Thurston—1 think the most {mportant consideration would bo to make some arrangement whereby tho peoplo might meet the president and shake hands with him, and for that purposo @ recep- tion should be arranged At somo convenient — place where everyono who wished might bo present. s would occupy probably about two hours. Somo ar- rangements should also be made for enter tainiug tho party at lunch. The president may have some preference in this mattor and his wishos should bo by all means respoctod, Then there should bo a drive about the city to the different points of interest and out to the fort. A committoe should be appointed, by tho mayor or by & mass weeting, to go atound and raise whatever amount s necessary. It could easily be doue, and pleasant programme might be urranged, President Martin of tho board of trado- would call & mass meeting and have a com- mitteo uppointed to arrange for properly on- tortaining the prosident und party. I am in fuvor of entortaining the president the best wo kuow how. . Ho haa boon very kind to Omaha in many respocts, and we hive an op- portunity of expressing our appreciation, | Suppose the president will have some ar- Taigoments of his own for speuding w part of The prosident un- his time in Omaha,and his preferencos should be ascertained and arrangerments mado accord- ingly. He will arrive hers about noon and may intend to take lunch with ex-Governor Saunders and family. 1 think there should be a public recaption and a drive about the city. There will not be time for anything clse, and that will no doubt meet his ap- proval. W. H. Alexander, collector of customs— Tho prosident is ‘making this extended triv for the double purpose of recreation and and of seeing as much of the country and as many of the people whom he represents, as possible. He comes to Omaha to see a typi- cal western metropolis. Wo should there- fore be ecager to put the city in the most pleasing and attractive condition and to mako the chief oxecutive's visit a red letter event in the journoy. The talk about fedoral officinls here and the speculation as to which of them will be most favored with prosi- dential recognition, is a little premature, und ought mnot to ' cut any figure in the matter because Omaba and not the fed- oral government is giving welcome to the distinguished guest. In my opinion, a drive ubout the city, tuking in_tlio fort, where the military authorities could pay their ro- spects ' in some appropriate mauner, would bo the most. satisfying entertaiument for so brief a visit, and in this matter the city ofticials should take the lead. Mayor Cushing is compotent and courteous and is the one to extend the city’s welcome, and ho should bo one of the president’s cowpanions on thedrive, Siuce the prosident is to be hero but a fow hours, probanly nothing fur- ther could be done by the city, except to pro- vide ample and cougenial accommodations for the party at a leading hotol. Aftor the city’s part of the programme had been comploted, and time for rost and re- froshment had been given, it would be proper for the federal officials to assist the president in an informal reception for an_ hour, and this, of course, would tako place in the federal builaing. It would @ve our people a chance to shake hands and exchange a word with the nation's executive, u proceeding which is always appropriato aud enjoyable in acountry 5o noted for its patriotism. Should the president nave time and in clination for this T would throw open the Judges’ chamver on the second floor, and by arranging for ontrance through the United States district attorney's room and retiring by way of the United States marshal’s oftice @ great many persons could be accomplishod. Senator Manderson will prohably be in Omaba when the president comes and should bo wiven the promincnce on the programme which his high ofieial position, and his Omaha citizenship entitlo bim to. If the president's stay were 10 be long cnough a banquet might be. given him, but binguets cannot bo handled very conveniently because only comparatively few an bo accommodated, and they savor too much of exclusivenoss'to suit our western idens whien the guest is one whom overybody desires to see and enjoy. It must bo remembered that the president Is not coming alone. Mrs, Harrmson and othor distinguished ladies will be here, and Omaha would depart very widely from her well kuown record for gallantry if extraor- dinary cfforts were not made for their com. fort wnd happiness I would suggest that whilo wo aro holding a gontlemen's veception at the federal build ing, should sucn plans be acted upoa—tho la- dios of Omaha could conduct u_similar af- fair in honor of the chief lady of the nution and her companions, I have given you these idoas without mueh consideration, “und of course they arc only suggestions, Whatovor is done,wo must keep politics in the background, and 1am suro that every one will foel that it is not u ropub- lican, but our president who is to bo enter- tuined, and that ne reasonablo offort will be spared to giveto tho eity a gala day appear- ance and to the chief executivea pleasing fnd a lasting impression. of Omaha bospital- 1 Cushing —The contemplated t Harrison should bo made an important event in the history of the eity of Omaha. Ho is the ctief exccutive of tho nation and as such we should not only houor tho man, but tho oftice. It is urue thit there Are many ways in which we may entortain our guest. This makes it somewhat dift cult o say just how we should proc A dele- gation of citizens should meet tho prosicent wnd purty at the depot aml escort them to earriages which will be in waiting. A drive over tho principal streets of tho city would be appropriate. The citizens of Owmiba will certainly wish to greet the presidont, avd for this purpose u public reception should be heid at some place where the immeuse crowd can be accommodated. In my mind no better place than the court of Tur B building could be selected. He, In company with a number of promiuent citizens, can bosta- tioned under tho dome of the building. This will enable the large concourse of people to s into the door, shake hands with him and then pass out. After the conclusion of the reception, should the [resident desires to address the people ho can @ escorted to the court house grounds, from which point he could address the multitude. 1t may be that he will not, desire to deliveran address. Should such be the case some other programme can be outlined. A lunch must be served, not a banquet, but a light lunch at which a number of the prominent citizens should attend. There are other details, but no doubt tne committee will look after every thing in this direction. One thing 1s certa and “thatis that Omaha must do herself roud in honoring the president of the United States. Dr. George L. Miller—The mayor, city officials and citizens should organizé u recep- tion upon an intelligent basis, that all may pay their respects to the president of the Bilited Statos. The mayor should recerve him with a suitable address of welcome, and the business men and representative citizens should ~conduct @& ' recoption that wil be & oredit to this great city in which we live, and of which we feel so proud. I have tbought of no plan of action to pursue in tnis matter, though I presume it will be properly handled by the committe President Harrison, as the chief exccutive of the nation, is entitled to respect, and Omaha now has an opportun- ity of showing what she can do in honoring her guest. When ex-President Cleveland was nere he met with a flattering recoption at the hands of our citizens, and 1 foel that they will not be backward in adopting a plan that will show their appreciation of our pres- ident and the ofice he holds. This should not be done in & manner to givo strangers the iden that a circus is in town. Whatover we do, we must do with dignity, to show the re- spect we feel. Speeches will be made and tho time and place will be selected by the com- mittee. No doubt the people will desire to meot the president, and for this reason some suitable place must bo selected, where ho can be introduced and shake hands with tho people of Omaha, all of whom are bis friends. ank E. Moores— When ex-President Cleveland visited Omaha the citizens gave nim a royal send off and I see no reason why wao,should not do the same thing when Pres- ident Harrison comes next month. Omaha is capable of tendering him a royal reception and as a citizen of the city, I am most em- phatically in favor of mo that will causo the chief omber his visit to the metropolis of the Missouri valley with feelings of pleasure, President Harrison does not care to come here as a strangor. Ho has been with us bafore, notas A president, b as uman whom we all ag- mired, and 15 known by many of tho cit izens, it is but right that he should be give: a hearty welcome. Iam not in favor of auy show of red fireworks, but would like t sco a recoption upoa a scale that witl show that wo respect both the wan and the office. A drive about the city could be arranged after which a public reception could be held, as 1 am positive that ev person in the city will be desirous of extending the hand of wel- come. We cannot give @ public banguet, though 1 think a private supper attended by the presidential party and some of the lead- ing citizens would be proper. Chris Hartmav—1 not only consider Presi- dent Harrison the president of the United States, but I look upon him as an Omaba man. T am sure that he is the owner of some valuablo city property, and in addition to bis son wedded 'ove of our faire daughtors. ~ All these facts coupled togoth, anot lielp but cause him to have a warm co in his heart for Omahn. Owmaba has a world-wide reputation for doing the correct thing in cntortaining, and I feel sure that she will do hersclf proud upon this oceasion. Our city is one of tho largest in tho United States, ‘and as such wo bave ample facilities for affording him a pleasant stay whilo he is with us. Feasts aro tiresome things, thoug uo doubt a light lunch should be spread at one of the hotels or club rooms, superintend- od by tho committces. The people will de- sire 1o weloome the t, uud that they may do so, if the v is fine, & cacringe drive about the city must be indulged in, after which a public reception should be held. THE LOUNGER IN THE LOBBY. Playwrights and the Manner in Which They ““Work Up" Love Scenes. ATTRACTIONS FOR THE COMING WEEK. Katic Emmett Appears at the Boyd —Marine Band at the Coli- seum—“The Fakir" on Deck. Colonel Robert Ingersoll, who is a pro- found admirer of Wagner's music, told what the great master's compositions really were at a recent banquet given by the Liederkranz of New York in honor of Director General Stanton and Conductor Seidl of the Metro- politan overa house, The following excerpts from his lecture wiil prove interesting reading to Wagnerites, and for that matterto all lovers of music the world over: There is & music of the heart and of the in- tellect and of thought, and this in my juag- ment is the music of Wagner. Music was before speech and itis now beyond speecn. Music was born of love, Had there never beenany affection there never would have been a welody. Music is tho sunshine and the shadow. is tho climate of the soul. The greatest operas of Wagnerare woven from the strands of love and death. Love is the groatest of all passions and death is its shadow. Wagner's music is sad. Al good music is sad. Everything in the world that is nearly perfect is sad. There is a pathos in the world that is pure joy, that brings tears to the eyes of humanity. Waguer and Shakespeare are alike, In all great music there 1s a touch of chaos, because it 1s chaos that suggests the infinite. Wagner has seuso enough to be similar without producing fac similies. Wagner, like Shakespeare, deals in the ele- mental, L believe the Puneral March of Siogfried is the funeral march forall the dead of this world. It would.. ¢ fitting music for the funeral of the gods, .| As long as men are, men, as long as women can love, the love fnusio of “Tristan and Isolde” will live' ahd enrapture the human hear Wagner's musid 15 to me a reviver of melo- dy, but changing i Ats course as 1t passes the cataracts and the cliffs and breaks into form and then flows on in the mellowed glory of the sunset in intinite;beauty and calm, iy Mile. Yvette Guilvert is the fad of Paris, Last August she wassicging in o little cafe at Montmartre oalkd Le Divan Japonas, where she was discovered by some Bohemian poets and journalists, Thence she pussed to the joyous Moulj , Rouge, the Mabelle of Montmartre, 'thd favorite bacheiors’ [romenado fu - Pacls. At the Moulin touge \’v:‘tta(}%‘)fil increased her public. She won the estedth 9f a score of poots and journalists, who begau to talk avout her in tho papers. Tho soufs writer Xaurof found in her an ideal interpreter of his dry and as it wera ingenious ocynicism. Theodore Child says of this young woman “She 1s'an artist, this tall, lilial, blonde- girl,with her lips redder than poppies in corn, her bair brushed back in raisnt waves, leay- iug the forehead pure, her figure long and gracile like the women in the pictures of Wat- teau and Mantegua, Decollette extrewely, almostdown to her waiste, Yvotte Guilbert reveals no turgid grossness of person; sho is more lilial than Sarab Bernbardt, ouly she 1s more clean cut and less supple. Yvette, in line, attitudo and sebriety of gesture, sug- gests constantly the figures in the pictures of the carly pre-Kaphaelite artists of [taly; and thierein she seoms to me to be peculiarly mod- ern and fin de siecie, 10 use a meuningless phrase, which is, uevertheless, acquiring a meaning, “In Yvette something delicate, vivacious and mtelligent; It Guilbert's features there 1s something singularly in the lines of the body the excessive lengthiness is augmented by the effect of very long black gloves,cover- g the arms, and by the small angle'of the decolletage, ‘which is all in length rather than in breadth; the smallness of the waist amplifies by contrast tho forms of tho bust and hips; and in her whole person and dress there is au intonsity of drawing which, so to speuk, accentuates and even exaggerates all that is significant of femininity. “Mlle. Yvette is_young, ambitious and full of talent. We may expect soon to see her on the stage in the modern equivalentof the lyric-dramatic _spectacles in which women like Theo, Chaumont and Judic became famous in the now remote past.” Have you ever thought how differently love scenes aro portrayed by different piay- wrights! With some writers for the stage the scenes in which the lovers figure are elaborated to an extent almost boyond en- durance, while other dramatists, just as ca- pable, give their lovers words which children of a tender age would hardly bo caught re- peating. The comic lovers are often very young and when peovle on the stage are young they aro young. He is supposed 10 be about. sixteen and she fifteen. But thoy both talk as if they were not more than seven. Kobertson in “Home" first_introduced this type successfully to the stuge. Lucy is look- ing out of the window. “There is my Bertio. Oh! he soes me! (Blows a kiss.) He is stanaing on the gate. Oh, should he fall and hurt himself! Oh, ho has fallen! Oh, Bertie, my love, como here and say you haven't killed yourself.” (Bertie enters limping.) SLucyn “Yes! yos?! “Allis over.
