PAGES SOCIETY BACK IN TOWN. Getting Ready for the Divertisements of the Winter's Campaign. INCREASING LIFE ON OUR STREETS. Opening of Boyd's a Notable Occa- sion - Surprising a Resident of Dundes Piace—A Spider Wed Purty. The event of greatest importance in the soclal and intellectual life of this city was the opening of Boyd's new theater Thursduy evening. It was an ovent which will bo re- membered with interest and pleasure by those who were fortunate enough to be pres- ent at the formal dedication of what is one of the handsomest temples of amusement in the country. The scene was indeed a brilliant one, the colors in their dainty blending reminding you of a Watteau fan. The youth, beauty and chivalry of the metropolis took posses- sion of the house, and made the opening a gala occasion indeed. Tne boxes were fitled by the prettiest matrons and maids in the city, while throughout the auditorium hrad- some ladies and distinguished men gave in- terest to the prettiest picture Omahn ever looked upon. Indeed the premicre of the house of art took on an appearance much resembling & Paris opera night, for nearly everybody in full dress, and per consequence tho b ginning was a_pronounced success, so artistically and financiallv. ery day brings in early returning tour- s begin to assumo the ap- The shops are resplend n autumn fabri the windows gorgeous in their new dress. Faces browned by a kindly summer sun testify to the outdoor life of their owners, while here and there in the hotels and clubs are encountered loitorers who are getting back to the cares of busi- ness after a season spent along the beach, in the mountuins or by some cool sequestercd lake in the heart of tho wilderness, While mome will linger and remain at distant places until September colors the leaves and g&ives a brilliant touch to the landscape the great majority of the fashionables are on their way homo, and shortly society will resuwme its round of pleasures, E Ists and the str earance of fall Secking After Knowledge. With the coming of the autumn days and the suggestion of fall fresbuess in the atmos- phere the boys and girls who have been en- joying a season of rest from school duties begin to pack their trunks and hampers, and by the middle of September will be bac the grind again, imbibing knowledge in col- loge and semnary, The roster this year shows a very large aumber of Omaha pupils who will leave for foreign schiools in a short time, or havo left.

That Omaha is destined to take a promi nent place in the art 1ifo of the west is ovi- denced in the founding of the Academy of Fine Arts, the establishing of a conservatory of music and otber similar associations, and now comes Mr. L. A, Torrens, the director of the Apollo club and an experionced teachor, at the head of anew insuitution hich is called the Omaha Senool of Musie. The metropolis, ocoupyiug as it does tho coigu of vantage, should become a recognized lesder in both the musical and art lifo of the western country, and for that matter, take o pronounced position in the estimation of tho whole nation, There are in our midst clever painters and still cleveror musicians, who properly brougt together ought to do very creditable work, not only for themselves, but for tho city whish thoy bave clected as their home. The Omaha School of Music although but a comparatively new institution has in its faculty, many of the leading musicians of whe west, their reputation in the branches to be taught being second to none. The faculty will consist of Mr. Martin Cabn, in charge of the piano forte; Mr. W. T. Tuber, organ; Herr Joseph Gabm, counterpoint and barmony: Hans Albert, violin; J. E. Butlor d W' T. Marshall, orgun; Sig. C. L. Buguet, teacher of the languages; Kev. Joseph T. Duryea, D. D)., lecturer on musi cal topies. The brauches to be taught ure singing, piano, violiu, organ, barmony, com- position, elc, and the langunges, Lectures and recitals will bo giveu from time to_tima while it will be the effort of the diroctor, Mr. L. A. Torrens, to organizs an orchestra of which the ity may be proud. He will 8130 have a string quartetto and in the Young Men's Christian ussociation hall where the school has taken quarters, chamber concerts willbe In conjunction with the cho cal burean will be organized and instrumentalists, orchestras and string quartettes will be senton concert tours through the state and if demanded through neighboring states. With such a faculty and with Mr. Torrens at the head of the scliool, 1t ought. to become oue of the strong musical associations of the wost, in keeping with the prominence Omaha has already attained us a city of clear discern- ment in all matters_pertaining to art. Tne school will open Monday, September 14, in the Young Meu's Christian association hall and puvils attending from a distauce will have the benefit of the work done by the Apollo club during the season in addition to hearing the best taleut in the country iu con- corts,p Surprising a Man with a Birthday. Mr. C. W, Koitn, western manager of Wil- linm Deering & Co., rosiding in Dundeo Place, had a birthday on Monday, but he au- ticipated spending the day very quietly with outany “fuss or feathers.” But there were anumber of friends of the gentleman who determined to teach Mr. Keith a lesson about ebrating the attainment of thirty-two years, and no dount tie realizes how bootless it was to promise himseif a quiet time. Messrs. Upton, Carmichiael and Shannon ar- nged a game of croquet for Monday even- and Mr, Keith becawme oneof the players. it wns a ruse, however, to et the ro 1t of the surprise party away from home while other arch conspirators might arrange the I things, Until 8 o'clock the battie royal waged and then without the least mony o band struck up an inspiring air erybody's consternntion. Mr. Keith thought'a strolling band of players on wind instruments had taken possession of his house and he rushed home to see the play out. What was his astonishment to find tho parlors crowded with friends. It was an April fool joke in September. After the sur- prise had worn away, the guests enjoyed themselves in attaching the caudal append- age to a donkey, Mr. D. C. Pattorson show- ing a_knowledge of natural history quite re- markable considering that his eves were bandaged when the operation was performed. Mrs, . A. Benson drew a prize for placiug the tail on the other sido of the room. After evervbody had taken a hand at pinning a tail fo the donlkoy,rofreshments were served. The house was decorated in profusion with flowers and altogether 1t was a red letter night in Mr. Keith's history. Thero wero present: Mr. and Mrs. E. A, Benson, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Carmichael, Mr. and_Mrs. William Shannon, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Hancock, Mr. and Mrs. W, K. Kurtz, Mr. and Mrs. R. (. Patterson, Mr. and Mrs, Kelier, Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Upton, Mr. John T. Shannon, Miss Bradshaw, Miss Perkins, Miss Benson, Mr. Thomas Thomp- son of Davenport, Ia., Mr. and Mrs. Finlay- son, The Conservatory Opening. The fall term of the Omaha Conservatory of Music commences tomorrow, September 7. The faculty of this institution is fully equal to that of auy other school of music in this country, every teacher being strictly first class. Tho teachers of the mano, Mr. E. M. Joues and Mr. J. G.Cummings, were for years pupils of the two Scharwenkas of Ber- lin, Mr. Cummings bas met with great suc- cess as a composer as well us a teacher. His songs, string quartettes and orchestral com- positions were much admired and publicly rendored by the Scharwenkas, and were well recoived in that most critical of all musical cities, Berlin. Phillip Scharwenka was so cnraptured over a string quartette of his that at tho end of one movement ho_sprang to his feet and, in the impuisivo German fashion, embraced Mr. Cummings, exclaim- wg: “Wonderfully beautiful 1 Signor Fusco, the vocal teacher, is with- out apeer as a teacher of the voice, as proved by the following letter from Max Strakosch, the great impressario: ‘‘Signor Fusco: Allow me to take this method of ex- pressing to you the extreme gratitication and delight_experienced whilo listening to the vocalization of your gifted pupil, Miss Mary Tuck, at your rooms on Thursday afternoon last. ' The wonderful talents displayod by the young iady were surprising to me, and well I knew whon calling you to assume the direc- tion of ner musical _education, your abilities as an_instructor in the only” true ‘Italian method for singing,’ but more surprised am 1 to witness the extraordinary advancement she is making under your care. You have my complote confidence and_entire approval of the course you are pursuing with her vocal education. Her Pronunchuon of the Italian is perfect, whilo her understanding of rhytnm and expression is most exccllent, I shall receive her from your hands thoroughly cducated for the stage. Again, allow me to thank you—I1 suo Amico, Max Strakosch." Signor [usco bears letters of highest rec- ommendation from such artists as Adelina Patti, Clara Louise Kelloge and Mrs. Scott- Sladons, and was the teacher of the late mma Abbott. The lovers of good music in Omaha_ should sce to it that Siznor Fusco the success his talents demand. . T Taber, teachor of the organ, was a pupil of George . Whiting, the great Boston organict, and is too well known ~hero to need any words of commendation. Charles Bactens, Mus. Doc., is the teacher of violin, viola and viotincello. ~ Dr. Baetens was fo merly a member of the celebrated Thoma orchestra, luter a professor in the Cincinnati College of Music, and is one of America’s finest musicians, Misses Ketcham and Allen, who are in charge of the department of elocution, are both graduates and teachers of the renowned Idua Chaffee-Noble schoot of elocution, Da- troit, Mich., and bear letters of hiznest ree- ommendation from her.

The Hicks & Sawyer minstrels, who will be at the Farnam Stredt theater the first four days of this weok, opeming with a matineo afternoon, inaugirated their season in Baltimore last month. The Baltimore Sun gave the performance a highly complimentary notiost recently, from which thoe following exteactssiwe made: ‘“The first part showed the whele company on the stage, with G. W, Pickett in the middle and Ben Huun and ‘Doeli Sayles on the end as the first relay of premiers. They were fol- lowed by Billy Johmson and Joe Holcom b, and their performanoe was in willing and able hands. The singing element in the first part is excellent, introducing William Cole- man, W. H, Scott, R. Russell, Julius John- son, George Williams, John Taylor and others. Julius Johnson possesses a tenor voice of rare directness aud power, which he carefully and intelligently handles, The other of the singers are triod and familiar friends. 1In the olio Billy Jackson, Joe Hol- comb, ‘Doc’' Sayles and Willlam Smart cap- turcd the house with their specialties and kept tho audience in a continual laugh. Messrs, Walter Smart, Colly McGowan and George Wilson showed themselves to be acrobatic wonders, Smart and Taylor made a hit in their drum major act. The Arabian march and drill was particularly well exec- uted. The mirth provoking afterpioce, ‘Aunt Mandy's Reception,’ is alone worth double the price of admission and is & sure guaranteed cure for the bluos,” Nothing on the road or off surpasses or comes up to the brightness and cleverness of ‘“I'he City Directory.” Mr. Russell makes some sweeping changes in his company every scason, both in its personnel and the jokes and sciections, but with every change thero scems to come an_improvement. A [tor wit- nessing the performance everybody will record their verdict that the pioce was never stronger or more enjovable. It is w say whether Sweatnam’s ality, Schoolcraft’s unctious drollory Dan Daly's inimitable Stage Manager is tho central figuro—it would prob- ably bo just to say that thoy form three con- tral figures cqually inimitable, But thero is not an ordinary member in the company. Haverly and Seamon aro both clover como- dians. “Miron and Witmark are charming singers, Amelia Glovor, the charming _dan- seuse, has sevoral new dances, which will no doubt be received with great favor. The Misses Cloveland, Kelso, Hart and Weller are four charming young ladios of tho com- pany, alt clover dancers and sing admirably. “This company will open at Boyd’s theator Sunday evening for four performances and Wednesday matinee. “Erminfe,” Jacobowski's charming opers, will bo played tonight at the Graad by the Garrow Opera company. This opera has beoen the reigning comic opera success in tho oast for soveral seasons: its waltzes are played in the ball.rooms and upon its first production it became the pet of the fashion- able and musical world. It is one of the best productions of the company, Mr. Drew play- ing the Paris thief with an amount of unc- tuous humor that is irresistible. The otner parts in the cast arc admirably filled and lovers of comic opara will enjoy a treat. This is the first time “trminie’ has ever boon heard in Omaha at popular prices—in fact the opera has nover been produced hero by so admirable a company. Beginning _Thursday, evening next Mr. Thomas W. [Keene will inaugurate an engage- ment of three nights “and Saturday matinee at Boyd's new theater. Mr, Keeno has been 100 frequently seen in-Omaha to require any extended introductiont of commendation. ‘The death of Lawrance Barrett and the an- nounced retirement of Fdwin Booth leaves Mr. Keene the only Awerican representative of the class of players who confine their talents exclusively to_tho delineation of clas- sical tragic roies, ~ * M. Keene is as yot'a'young man, ono pos- sessed with ail the fire and vitality of youth, blessed with a keen, discriminative mind, & broad yvet accurate conception, and a voico and physique which eminently fits bim for the rortrayal of tho lines of parts to which ~_he has devoted his art. During Mr. Keene's cngagement the follow- ing seloct repertoire wilk be given as follows : Thursday; “Richeliéd;'" Friday, ~‘“Louis XI;" Saturday matfnee, “Merchant of Venice,” Mr. Keene as *Shylock;" Saturday night, “Richara IIL.” The company includes Frank Hennig, Julius Scott, John Haunon, Thomas K. L2agleson, Carl Ahrendt, Benjamin K. How- ard, Hugh MeKay, Marwood Andrews, J. J. Cummings, Charles Sands and Miss Alberta Gallatine, Miss Henrietta Vadors, Mrs, C. A, Baker, Miss Hannah B. Bailey and Master Sargent. AT Manager Burgess of the Farnam Stroet theater has booked for the latter part of the week, Lincoln J. Carter's great railroad melodrama, ‘“T'he Fast Mail,”” which will be given a grand scenic production that in many respects promises 10 be one of the most re- markable ever in the city. There is the rat- tle and_ clatter of the patrol wagon asit comes down the streot; the whistles, bells, oto., of a Mississippi steamboat leaving her wharf; moonlight effects on the river, and glowing furnacoes of the boat, and the explo- sion and breaking upof the steamer. A gigaatic plece of real water scenery is pre- seuted in the Niagara Falis scene, where the enormous cataract is represented with the roar of the water, the seothing foam and the rising mist. The company is highly spoken of and the play is well constructed, with a strong tinge of comedy to off-set the serious olements. Provious to their departure for the Amer- ican National Conservatory of Music, New York, where they will pursue a course of study, Master Charles A. Higgins and his talented sistor Miss Daisy Higgins announce o farewell concert to be given at the Grand Opera house Saturday evening, Septembor 19.

The Institution now basa very complete gymuasium, convenient and commodious bath rooms with & fine plunge bath in con- neotion. ‘The rector of All Saints church, corner Twenty-sixth and Howard stroets, has ar. rangoed for an evening service, beginning with next Sunday, which {s intended to reach strangers ana those not familiar with the regular church services. The service will bo brief, and strictly congrogational, with an ad lress or sermon on some interest- ing topie. It is hoped that in this way non- church-goors, especially voung people, will be interested, and the atteadance largely in- creased. All seats are free, and all who tend will be welcomed. RELIGIOUS. Tho vatican continues 203 staircases and 1,100 different rooms. During 1800 there were built in the United Statas 8,500 churches, A Now York Congregationalist minister gots $10,000 a year aud a life insurance polic; Tho pastor of the Methodist Church at Monrovia, Kan., dreaches a sormon and then makes the congregation guess the toxt. The old German Lutheran church at Wal- doboro, Mo., has stood 130 years, and there has never beon a coilection taken within its hundred and fifty-five religious periodicals are published in this country, which are estimated to havoa total cireulation 3,650 for each issue. Sourgeon grows steadily weaker, despite the best of medical_skill and nursing, and it is feared that he will never again staud iu the pulpit of his famous Tabernacle m London. A true causo of the withdrawal to a mon- astery in Russia of his Holiness Archbishop Michael Metropolitan and Patriarch of the of the National Church of Lervia, is neither age norinfir hutunsuccessful spaculation on the Stock Exchange at Belgrade. Bishop I'rencli of Eugland, who died re- contly in Arabia, was known ‘as “‘that many- tongued man of Labore,” for he could preach in knglish, Persian, Hindustani, Pushto, Hin du, Tamil and Punjabi, and was an eminent scholar in Hebrow, Arabic, Syriac, Greok and Latin, The Presbyterians of San Rafael, Cal., havo realized for a long time the nced of a larger church building. Mrs. T. W. Park has offered to give $20,000 toward & new stono church, provided that $15,000 more 1s raised within two years and that the church when completed, shall be free from debt. If Dr. Ignatius Hortsman succcods Bishop Gilmour in the Clevelana diocese, as e seoms likely to do, the Catholic church will have gained anothor big bishop. He is six fest three inchos in height, and like Bishcps Brooks and Walker in the Episcopal churen, a man of commanding figure. .

William Booth, was defng humble Ingland was then in arms, jump into the Russo-Turkish war. It occurred to Booth that he might at- tract a crowd by issuing a declaration of war himself, s0 he provared one forthwith, spriu- kled 1t plentifully with hallolujahs and posted 2,000 copies of it about town., The device tickled the British sense of humor, there was a “‘redhot, rousing meeting,” to quote Gen- eral Booth, “‘the penitents fell down in heaps,’ and the salvation army sprang into life full grown, e Madam Wallace, who has been in Eu- rope for the past two months in the in- terest of Morse’s custom dress making department, returns Monday next.

S —— Regular Army and Navy Union. This order of soldiers, sailors and marines is very rapidly increasing throughout the United States. New garrisons are now being formed in all parts of the country. Since the last meeting of the National corps,held in Boston last month, thirteen new garrisons have bezn chartered and many more applica- tions havo been received at the national headquarters in Boston, Mass. Abraham Lireqln garrison No. 13, located at Fort Omaha, has a membership of about forty, and it is understood that a new garrison will be shortly organized in this citv., At the na- tional convention lately held at Boston a great many changes were made in the cousti- tution aud. by-laws of the union, the princi- pal one being the abolishment of army rank in the union and substituting the titles of national, vice and deputy commanders in place of generals. Another important featuro was the doing away of aepartments ana assistant adjutant generals, and in their place appointing a national aide-de-camp for each state, whose duty will be somewhat simnlar to that of deputies of secret societies. Comrade Perry A. Lyon, formerly aid for Nebraska, has tendered his resignation in view of his removal from the state. His successor has not yot boen uppointed and it may be deferred until a new garrison is added to the state of Nebraska, as tho na- tional deputy national commander, Comrade E. J. Davis, residing in Omaha, wil! be de gated to take charge of the western garri sons until a new aid 1s appoiuted. General ‘Wheaton at Fort Omaha has kindly tendered the use of the post hall for tho meetings of Abraham Lincoln garrison, and the garrison, appreciating the kiudness, elected Genoral ‘Wheaton an hounor: momoer, t to the Colic, Persons subject to periodical attacks of colic will be interrested in tho following: “Mr, Clark, living near here, has had chrouio colic for yoars. ~He tried ono 25 cent bottlo of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar- rhaa Remedy, which gave him so much lief that he has since used four bottles which he says has almost cured him sound and well, solls rapidly and well bere.—W.
