OF THE ONE NIGHT STANDS Oarleton’s Advance Agent Tells of Some of Their Peculiarities, ACTORS MAY BE HAPPY THOUGH MARRIED Mes, Kendall Tells Her Secret—Events In Musienl Circles, Rte tive—Bills of the Week ~Stage Chat, t and Prospecs Mr. E. 8. Conner, tho advance agont for Carleton’s Opera company, is & newspaper wman, Hoe was identified with the Philadel- phia Times for several years as dramatic edi- vor, and lator was sent to Washington,where he represented that papor as correspondont for nearly fivo years. o has “handled” tho ‘Washington correspondence of Tur Bre dur- 1ng the vacation of the rogular correspondent, and has also “covered’’ a partof the work of the Chicago Herald. This is Mr. Conner's 1nitial trip as u theatrical man, but, true to professional instinet, he has been & close ob- sorver of the experieuces of “the man in ad- v Yanos," “I thought that the life of a Washington correspondent was full of excitoment,” said Mr. Conner, in conversation the other day, “'but it does not compare with that of an ad vance agent. 1 have camped on the trail of dyine statesmen for five whole nights with my puper holding open until o'clock in the morning, and 1 have listened to the most un- interesting spoochos ever mado in congress, but for a life full of change and excitement that ot the averago advance man is well to the front. “Thoro is one thing I want to say, and that 18 for a‘greon’ hana the Carleton school is the best in the theatrical profession. Mind, I don’t say this because I expect Mr. Carle. ton will raise my salary if he should hear of iy, but I say it in all truth, Heis a strict Qisciplinerian, but he has o peculiar faculty for putting a now man on the right road. He can give the best advance agent in the land points on railroad matters, und his knowledgo of tne railroads of tlis country is simply marvelous. “Speaking of railroads renilnds mo that in cleaning out my old pupers the other day I found noarly sixty business cards of men who represent the various iron highways throughout the country. This constrains me to remark that in no city ia the country is rivalry among rallroad men carried to such an extent asit is in Omaha and Kansas City. 1 haa about sixteen calls from railroad rep- resentatives before I had been there twelve bours. “The most unpleasant feature of an ad- vance agent's life is the one-night stands. ‘These are usually small towns of about 3,500 or 4,000 inhabitants. The opera houses—it is always safo to call them opera houses, although I could never see why; they remind ‘me more than anything of a load of coal in a poor man’s cellar—are mostly located on the sacond floor over grocery or drugstores. The mauager () of the opera house is usually the big man of the town, because he has the Dower to give awuy freo bussos to the ‘show.’ An most instances he 1s engaged in other business besides his opera house. This is necessary in order to provide an occasional plece of cake or pie for his family. “Well, he keops a drug store, and the ad- ‘agent rushes Into town 1n a hurry and t the drug store. The manager is at dinner. It's a curious thing, but I could never understand why the local managers in stank’ towns ate so mych dinner. If you're 1n & hurry they eat moro than usual, and ou’ll find them atdinner in nine cases out of ien. After he has finished his dinner, tho “local manager’ slowly saunters out, cheiwing the cud of reflection uwnd 8n unmasticated ond of fricassed turkey wing, and the by- stander points him out to you with a sort of wod pride while he says, ‘Good mornin’, doctor.” Yes, he's a doctor. He grasps vou by the hand in & cold, clammy sort of way, with one finger up your cuff, as though he ‘was feeling your pulse. This is the “lank- town grip.’ “While you are in the midst of your busi- ness and calculating tbo time of departure of the next train, somebody rushes in and in- forms doctor that ‘Sam Perkins has cut his foot, deep, with an ax.' Doctor, or local manager, rushes out with his case of 1nstru- mensis and leaves you ruminating on tne ill- timed misfortunes which follow you like your last yoar's tailor. 1t lacks just half an hour of train time when doctor gets back. You smile pleasantly and answer, ‘O! no!" to his interrogatory, ‘Did I keep you long? I won- der if these man ever carry a watch. Then you give him the casts and are just about to et down o business again whon thero is a call at the telaphone—they all have tele- phones—for the doctor ut Mrs, Humphrey's house. In vain you eoxpostulate with the doctor that your time is limited. Would you have a human life palancing between life and death! Ob, no, not for the receipts of a ‘whole season. “As you stand at the prescription counter you faintly hear the whistle of your train as it exultantly announces that you are not on it. That settles you for the dsy. There is no train until the next day at noon. The doc- tor comes cheerfully in and says the servanc girl at Mrs. Humphrey's burnt her band curning the gridle cakes. Business is all finished, and the local manager usks, fear- fully: ‘How has business been?’ Of course you tell him it has been excellent. Then he tells you of the tremendous business he did with this ana that atiraction and how near he came to baving a contract with Patu and Berohardt, There was only one obstaclo—if they had signed the concract he would have ‘been all right. But they dion't. He pours into your ears & harrowing talo of how much he would have ‘played them to’ until supper time, when he again gocs to dinner. Then your trials begin 1n earnest. has becowe known that you are a the- atrical man and from the ‘oldest inbabitant 10 the bell boy at the alleged hotel every- ‘body sets a trap for your unwary footsteps. “Passes for the show.’ You faintly struggie against the mob and when night enshrouds you in her malarlal mantle your dreams be- ‘come a hideous nightmare in which ‘passes’ ‘burn into your seething brain in flaming let- ters. When you awake, the only glimmer in the durkness of your despair is tho fact that the train leaves at noon. With a wild dash you rush for the devot, leaving your oake of gor & Mallett's § soap behind—some agents carry thisgand some don't; mostly «on’t. You sink exhausted intoa seat and mentally exclaim: ‘All that town needs is plenty of rain and somoe good society.’ And 80 to tho next ‘one-night staud,’ where this experience is repeated, only it is a justice of the peace instead of a doctor.” LOCAL MUSICAL MATTERS. It is pleasiug to hear of Omaha being es- tablished as a musical center and gratifying the musical thirst of the smaller towns of the state, Mr. J. A, Wallerstedt, who is a promising young basso in the city, prosured the ussistance of Mr. J. K. Butler, organist of Trinity catbedral, to give the inbabitants of Oukland, Neb., a rich treat. Accompanicd by the choice quartette of the cathedral, a delightful concert was given to & cvowded nouse. Mrs, Cotton sang two brillant se- lections. Mrs, Mooller was particularly good sud Mr. W. B. Wilking was dis- tinguisbed for the unusual amount of feeling displayed. Mr. Jules Lombara rendered 'L Fear no Foe" fn’ bis inimitable style. Mr. Wailerstedt ahowed decided talent in Rolevn's “Answer,” and was warmly wol- comed by his former fellow oitizens. Mr. Butler plaved two planoforte selections in artisuc style, whioh with some four part so- tections by the quartetie, completed the pro- gram. . f Mrs. S, E. Clapp of Omaba is directing a chorus in Plattsmouth of about fifty voices. Itissmd to be very successful. She is at present in Missouri Valley preparing the cantata of *Jephtbah’s Daughter.” Thesolo work in both of these cases will in all proba- wility be supplied -nu.ruly from Omaba.

Cammings, ono of the directors of tho Conservatory of Music, is, in addition to bis power of instrumentation, a talented composer. At the urgent requost of some of Omaha's musicians he has consented to have one of his works given at the approaching recital in connection with the Conservatory, It is trio for violin, violincello and piano, the parts of which will be taken respectively oy Dr. Baotens, Mr. John Brown and Mr. E.

She has just comploted a term of study which which will increaso her ropu- tation as one of the leading soprano soloists 1n tho city, .

Couldock and Frank Weston ana a competent company, will open a three night's ongagomont at Boyd's new theator this eveniug in Stesle Mackaye's play ot *‘Hazel Kirke,” tho play with which this popular artist enjoyed a suc- ©oss unoqualied by any piece or any artist — a piece that had the greatest run on record, running for two years at the Madison Square theater, and followed by a similar success throughout the couutry. And now, after the lapso of several years, it comes 1o us with the principal ohiaracters ropresented by the same actors who originally croated those parts and who participated 1 the Madison Square performances, Eftie Ellsler acting in the title role, C. W. Couldock taking his original part of the Dunstan and Mr. Frank ‘Weston the character of rittacus Green, the balance of the company being well selected and composed of such artists as are well known and promninent on the stage. The story of ‘*Hazel Kirke,” in its simple prettiness, is familiar to all. How the whirl- wind is reaped by good people who have not sowed the wind, is shown by an unfortunate sequence of natural incidenis; and one sym- pathizes the more with sorrows undeserved, and brought about by every day causes, and x{. tho grateful absence of tho “'stage vil- lian." ‘I'hat » really meritorious play, given by first class artists, is always lberally patron- ized in Omaha is a well known fact, and that Miss Eilsler and company will enjoy substan- tial support while in this city goes without saying, The famous W, T. Carleton Opera com- pany begins a week’s engagementat the Far- nam Street theater this afternoon, opening in the latest Paris, London und New York suc- cess, “Indigo.” This beautiful opera will be givon av the nighv porformauce also, Tho Carleton Opera company has made for itself a namo second to no_other operatic organiza- tion on tho road. The performances of this well known company are known from the Atlantio to the Pacific ocean as being excel- lent in evory respect. ‘fbat this name is well merited can be gathered from tho fact that this is the eighth season the company has been on the road and their performances have always received the highest oraise of the press and public. The company this time is larger than it has ever been and com- prises fifty people, each one with a skilfull: trained voice. The ensemble work is excel- lent. 1t has been the boast of Mr. Carleton, the singer-manager, that in the eigat years he bas had his company on the road he has never yet failed to bring with him, each sea- 80D, & new opera. The people of Omaha can recall bis magnificent productions of *‘Mi- kado,” “Nanon,” *Dorothy” and *Erminie’ with'a great deal of pleasure, and a careful resoarch will prove that the press were unanimous in its praise of these perform- ances. The new opera Carleton brings this time is “Indigo,” from the gifted pen of Johoun Strauss, the world renowned **Waltz King.” 1t contains Lis happiest inspirations and was written by bim in his most musical moments. This 13 saying a great deal oven ftor Strauss, whose compositions are known throughout the entire civilized world, He bas incorporated in “‘Indigo’” some of his most famous airs, which bave hitherto never been heard with the accompaniment of a chorus of ferty and an augmented orchestra. As asample of the beautiful melody which pervades “Indigo” Strauss has interspersed among its numbers such well known songs as “Bluo Danube,” “Wine, Women and Song,” “Thousand and One Nights” and “The King’s Champion.” These are sung with the full strength of the company. Strauss’ music s not all thedreary, sensuous kind which has been attributed tohim, *In- digo” proves this. At times it is soft and langorous, but again it is the bright, merry jiugle which keeps one's feet beating time 1o the tuneful melody and leaves a pleasant memory tinghng in the senses. The stage mountiugs for *Indigo” ure masterpioces of the artist's skill. The scenery was painted under Mr. Carleton’s personal nstruction by Joseph Clare, the most noted scenic artist of the day. The costumes were made by Worth of Paris for this production and imported into this country this season, This is the first engagemeut Mr. Carloton's company has ever played to popular prices and they will give precisely the same per- formances as those given in all the princival cities 1n the country. Manager Burgess un- nounges that there will positively be no ad- nce in the price of either seats ‘The repertoire will by matinee and evening, Monday and Tuesday nights, Wednesday matinee and Kriday ana Saturday nights *‘Indigo;”’ Wednesday night wnd Saturday matiuee *Nanon,” and Thursday night *Erminie.” Seals are now on sale at the box office, The famous Bostonians Opera compavy 18 announced to appear at Boyd's new thea- ter March 9, 10, 11 and 12, and the return of this favorite organization will be welcomed. There is no company on the road which en- gyl a higher stanaing of popularity thun the ostonians, and they are especial favorities in this city, Since their last visit here the company has made & tremendous hit in New York city, where they played for five weeks to standing room ouly at each performance, and the company is stronger today than it has ever been before, The operas announced o be ‘\v-n during the season hore ure *Robin Hood" for Wednesday, Thursasy and the Saturday matneec; Friday night and “Dorothy" on Sat- urday uight. New artists of world renowned reputation bave been added to the organization since its last visit here. Mag. nificent new scenery bias been painted for al the productions and the ghorus and orehestr have been ine until the company is today above even the high standard of excel- lence which it has always enjoyed.

Hoff, Eugene Cowles, George Frothingham, Jessie Bartlett Dlvh: Camille D'Arville, Caroline Hamil- toa, Flora F‘ulll_;lnll. Josephine Bartlett and Maud Ulmer, The stage direction is under “Carmen” on THE John E. Nash, ana Samuel L. Studley di- rects the grand orchestra which the com- pany carries. The Bostonians are on their way to the Pacific coast. Newton Beers, the melodramatic actor, will inaugurate a tour of the principal towns of the Elkhorn valley and Black Hills circuit on Monday evening in hiis successful and popu- lar version of Watts Philiip’s ‘‘Lost in Lon- don.” The play abounds in strong climaxes throughout. I'he comedy element is good and serves as an admirable foil to the more oxciting scones of the drama. The company carries all _its own special scepory and stago sottings which adas much to the attractive- ness of the production. The three great acts of the play are those in which are shown the dopths of a coal mine, London streets at mght and Job's vision. ' Mr. Beers is an un- tiring and couscientious actor and is desery- ing of the success he has achieved in his pro- fession. He has surrounded himself with a good supporting company and endeavors to give tho theater going public what he ad- vertises. Captain Siduoy Hinman, the dasbing life saver and captain of the Coney Island Life Saving corps, the man who has rescued forty-nine haman beings from a watery erave, will be at the Eden Muses this week and exhibit a complete life saving station and tulllyu\l the story of his life and adven- tures, He wears all the medals prosented government, state and also a bumber of medals presented to him by admiring friends, Gareia, Saletero King, Moxican Billy the chamgion rifle shot, Morrisey and Rich, Al Roome and a host of others will delight the Museo patrons tho week of March 7.

Manager Hen- aerson will carry his own-orchestra, elecuri- clans, carpenters and electrical appliances. Ho will carry uinoty-six people. Billy Barry is rehearsing a now farce, “Green Goods,” which deals with some notorious phases of New York life. Thero is a bare possibility that Hugn Fay may re- join his 0ld partuer for this plece.

It is oficially promulgated what Mme, Bernhardt directs every rehearsal of all her plays, makes sketches of all scenery and cos- tumes, and leads her profession in every de- partment. She is absolutely tireless. She shrinks at no amount of work she may deem necessary to completeness of detail and it is only on occasions when others do not work consciontiously that she calls upon her tem per to help her interest those surround- ing her. The manager of the road company of *'Blue Jeans,” the play with tho realistic sawmill effect, in Detroit recently distributed among a bady of workmen l-\nnf the line of railroad ruuning into the city fifty pairs. of overalls with the name of his play stamped iv broad, bold letters on the seats of the blue jeans garments, The laborers accepted the gift readily but a3 quickly turned the inscription e aud “Blue Jeans” matager lost the alls and an advertisement, H.

Mr. Loriug was the youngest supreme regent ever elected, being not quite 39 years of age at his death, and was the first who has died while holding the office. The news of his death was received in great sadness at the last meeting of Union Pacitic council, 1,06! that as a token of re: council months. Pioneer council is moving along very pleasantly thess closing winter days. and the interest is reviving in the oldest councils of the state. The Minneapolis councils had a magnifi- cent entertainment the cther evening at one of tho opera houses. The house was bril- liantly decorated with the colors of the order, palns aud ferns were distributed about the lobbies, the boxes wers made gay with bunting and the oest people 1o the Flour city participated in the event, Now if Union Pacitic and Pioneer councils could get to- gother upon some such schemo great good would result to the order in Ncoraska and it would not bo long beforo the order could have a grand lodge in this state. Assessment No. 162 has beon called to the supreme treasury. Somebody with a genius for such thiugs should revise the Book of Duties of theorder ana portions of the unwritton work. The western lodges should ‘unite 1n & call to the supreme lodge for a change in the ritual. Brother John F. Coykeudall, now of Chi- cago, says that whils he has been impor- tuned to joun one of the Chicago councils he is quite well satisfiod with his memvership in Union Pacific, An effort is making by Union Pacific No. 1069 to rent a floor in Tue Bek building, pro- vided several other fraternal bodies would unite with them. A 0. U. W, ct the charter of this bo draped for a period of three OTES, There is something romarkable in the growth of the Nebraska grand lodgo of the Ancieat Order of United Workmen,and the of- | fice of Grand Recorder Paine has within i vaults many items of interest. The growth of this order has been espec— 1ally rapid since 1886. In January of that year the order numbered 2,080 members, Sinco then it has almost gained that much | every year, for it now numbers 10,600, Sinco last October its growth has been in members 546, and in number of.lodges 11, During the mouth of January there passed through the oflice of the grand recorder 363 new apphcations, and up Lo February 25 the month’s applications numbered 330, Since October 2 there were but three deaths -John C. Groves of the Iepublican City lodge, Thomas 1. Groat of the itogers lodge, and A, J. Spounogle of Phillips, The average time between death and pay- ment of the $2,000 insurance each member carries Is thirty-two days. Sinoce with the present number of members one assessmen which is 81, pavs for rve deaths, the asses: ments are few and far between, This small death rate is cousidered all tho more remarkablo since thuese last fow mouths havo always boen the worst for deaths, A K. &AM Scottish Rite Masonry is greatly on the increase, thirty-six postulants huving been raised to the 32 @attheconvocation of Scottish rite bodies his city week before last. The week terminated in & banquet at Masonic ball, which was attended by nearly 200 Masons, their wives aud ~sweethoart Excellent speeches wero made by repre- sentative members of the rite, and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed. = Already there are enough upplicants for the degree of *‘Master of the Roval Secret” (32°) 15 war- raut another annual reuuion this year, pos- s1bly in November, when it is hopad even a larger class will pe led from darkness to light than that of week before last. ‘The memvers of Holyoke, Colo., lodge, Order of Aucient Free and Accepted Masous, gave a ball and banguet February 26, that Was Iu every way @ greal success and & credit to the order. Ascousion day will show a lively contest for the office of eminent commander in Mount Calyary commandery Kuights Tem- lar 30, 1, it being a distinguished honor to old that bosition during & conclaye year. IMPROVED ORDER OF RED MEN, Ono of tbe most enjoyable balls of the 800 was that given at Fort Omaba February 22 by Minnenaba Council No. 2, Degree of Pocahontas, of the Improved Order of Ited Men. The commiitee in charge, Mr. and Mrs, Forbes, Mr. and Mrs. Halo, mr. and Mrs. Woods, and others of the council de- serve great credit for wheir untiring efforts in looking after snd makiug every person bappy, and especially for the grand suppe provided for all. The ball was & graud suc and 1t was directed | coss in numbors, there being about 100 couplos present, many from Omaha. Order of the Scottish Clans.
