Elliott, the general agent of the Plant system, has been in the city for several days. T'ho colonel has given many years of diligent study and effort to tho development of the resources of tho southern district of this great country and tho augmentation of travel and trafio with our South American and Central Amorican neighbors. Iteferring to the fact that many Omaha peovle own winter housos 1 Florida, Colonel Eiliott stated that the ro- cent discovery of phosphates throughout tho western portion of southern Klorida has greatly increased the value of all lands in tho state and has given an impetus to all dopart- ‘ments and branches of business. Ho said “1t is matter of public interost and concern that the measures broposed by the govern- raent for a closer intercourse and freer inter chango between this and the republics of Central and South America shall be promptly and eficiently seconded by Ameri- can enterprise and capital. Acceptance and confirmation of proposed treaty stipulations in my opinion are without other than senti- mental valuo until supplemented by adequate facilities for handlng the increased com- merce contemplated by the nogotiations. Awmnong those who aro prepared by their aneans and inclination t iorward the meas- ures proposed by Mr. Blaino for opening up new and accessible markets for “American products stands the name of Mr. H. B. Plant of New York City, a man who has done as much and perhaps more than any other of & generation to advance and develop the agri- cultural and_commereial interests of his own country, and to establish and maintain reg- ular and reliable intercourse and exchango between our own and the ports of forcign natiol “Itis to Mr. Plant that the country is in- debted for the great railroad system of South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia and Florida that bears bis name, and by means of which so much has been accomplished in developing the industries of those states and bringing their distant and isoluted territory mto closo and mutually advantageous relations with the more advanced and populous portion of the country. But the Plant system proper includes not onlv the sov- cral lines of railroad already referred to, but also a lino of steamships plying between Mobile, Ala., and Havana, Cuba; Port Tampa and Key West, Fla., and an: other from Port Tampa, on tho gulf coast of Florida, to the islaud’ of Jamaica, both of which aro developing a new and constantly increasing volume of traffic between tho ports named and adding largely to the com- mon prosperity. In aadition to these public enterprises already in successful operation, Mr. Plant stands prepared to _establish _fur- ther lines as soon as determination of pend- ing governmental negotiations shall have cre- ated demand for further facilities,” i Pk “Patronize home industry,” is the senti- ment that led to the calling of the manufac- turers’ meeting at the Board of Trade rooms tomorrow afternoon. It is a winner, and every business man who “subscribes to it should mako it & point to bo present, . e 1TS TWENTY-THIRD. Concordia Singing Society Celebrates an Auspicious Birthday.

CHATTER OF THE FOOTLIGHTS. Belasco & De Mille's Great Play at Boyd's—“Cheek at the Farnam Street—Closing Performance of the Garrow Company. “Cheek,” which was made famous by Roland Ieed, has taken a now lease of life this season.

The Garrow Opera company, wishing to yield to a general domand for another per- formance of “Olivette,” will produco Aud- ran’s catchy opora this evening at the Grand opera house, terminating their engagement in this city. A retrospectivo glanco at the overas given by tho company in the past four weeks shows that throughout there was abil- ity of more than tho ordinary brought to bear on the production of tho operas, Miss Clement has emphasized her claims to being one of the best comic opera prima dont.as this side. She has a sweet, sympathetic voice, which was heard to greatadvantago in “Bohemiau Girl,” “Irminie," and *Oliy otto” and “Girofle-Gorfla.” ' Miss Carrio Swain, a piquanta aud bewitching soubrette, made distinct hits in tho M i nie,” and “Olivette.” sciontious and a hara cssen- tially necessary to .

He is today ono of tho best low comedians on the boards, and his work has been eminently satisfactory. Mr. Hallam has a sweet tenor voice, which is al- ways uased as the trained musician only knows how. Mr. Brand, tho baritone, was attimes badly cast, but he was alwuys tho caroful artist, never slighting his work. The chorus 15 in good form and “Olivette' ought to prove a winner tonight. Charles Frohman’s company of New York vill appear at Boyd's new theater Mo)day. Tuesduy and Wednesday ovenings of this week in DeMillo and Belasco's greatest play of ~“Men and Women. This su- porb organization, composed of twenty three people, is 'one of the largest and hest_traveling companies on tho road. and thelr cngugements have simply been ovations in every city where they have appeured. The company has been heralded and tatked about, and judging from the flattéring econ- iums passed upon it elsewhere, it, canuot very well fail of making a striking success in this city. 1vcowprises names indicative of strength, most of its actors being tried veterans iu their art. The plot of “Men and Women" is simple: Isracl Cohen is tho president of a New York bank. Wiiliam Prescott is the_cashier. Both love the same woman, Anges Rodman, who pludges herelf o young I’rescott, b foving him the soul of honor and abovo re- roach, Idward Seebury, tho assistant Pashier of tho same bank, the Jefferson Na- Cional, is engaged to Dora Prescott, sister of tWilliam, and the two young men are de- voted frionds. Both have bsen speculating through one Arnold Kirke, a Wall street broker, and while Seebury is successful, Kirke 1n the long run fails,” William Pres- cott losing, through this failure, bonds te the amount of §100,000, the property of the vank. Calvin Stedman, counselor of the banlk, loved Dora Prescott and for that rea- sou determined to ruin young Secbury, his rival. The bank is on the eve of failure through the misappropriation of the funds mentioned, and Seebury is accused by Sted- man and openly denounced as a_thicf at a secret meoting of (o board of directors. The iustitution is eventually saved b; of the directors advancing a sum sufliciont to tide it over its troubles, Tho cashicr con- fesses his guilt and a new life and happiness are opened to him. The play is powerfully cast and the harmouious ensemble of the per- formance is said to be remarkable, Following tne engagement of *Men and Women” at Boyd's new theater, J. IS, kmmet and his excellent company will present *Fritz in Ireland.” J. K. Emmet's production is spoken of wherever presented as ono of the leading attractious of the season. Its scenery and stugo settings are of the most elaborate nature, whilo its cast has been sclected from among tho best character actors on the stage. The church chimes at F'ritz's homoe on the Rhine, tue pipe ovgan in the Hereford castle, the zither quartette and the moonlignt shadow dance are some of the new effects in- troduced in the play, while the old familiar music and tableaux have been rotained. The star has shown wisdom in selecting such a play as “Iritz in Ireland” in which to appear. 1t is susceptible of great effcets and situations; 1t is a play of mirths and laug ter, of pathos and tears. It is a play in which the cast is impossible without the star; the star ata disadvantago without a very strong cast, Mr. Einmett's success has been his knowledge of these dotails ns ad- juncts to success and his ample provision of excellencies 1 all theso details. He not only inherits the chavacter of Fritz, but_is pr paired to maintaln that inheritance by years of constant study and practice, At the Grand opera Touse next Sunday evening, September 25, au excellent form- ance is promised by Miss Chase's mana ment.
