Saladin temple at Damascus has rich en- blematic rugs from special designs that took forty skilled workmen for two years in thelr manufacture, The Shrine at Tunis has the most valuable koran stand in the world. It is of solid gold hammered into the usual sawbuck shape and its hinges are studded with twelve pea-sized ajamonds. 'I'nis templo sent Mecea of New York some beautiful Moorish weapons as a wift, In 1860 Saladin templo of Damascus saved 18,000 Uhristians who were turestened by fanatical coemies with death by fire and sword. Gustay Dore's illustrations of Mirchaud’s “History of the Crusades” are also 1llustra- tive of the symbolism and work of the Mystic Shrine and readily recognizable by nobles, The Mystic Shrinenf Bgypt is independent of the Arabian order, but sends a reprosenta- tive to the annuul assembly at Mecca. The first ceremonial master of the Shrine at Zagnzig uses a sword tbat Mehemot Aly carried at the massacre of the Mamelukes. The potentate's throne 1s of Russian mala- chite and has a very large diamond sotin the hollow of a turguois crescont at tho top. Tho Shrino has 1,200 membors. In some eastern cities Shrines are sum- moned to meetings by wmessengers who de- liver mysterious sentences verbally. The affairs of the Mystac Shrino are vested in profound secrot” and seldom mentioned in publio print for fear of provoking the hos- ilit y of tho government. The grand potentate of Bokhara Shrin e Marseilles, France, wrote in 1887: *When Noble W, J. Florence was hero ho received not one word of instruction or of informa- tion except within the templo and av a stated meeting.” In some eastern countries Shriners have to woar their jowels concealed for foar of prose- cution by the governmont. The Saf temple in Morocco has $160,000 in & Marscilles bank, During & cholera outbreak several years ngo It spont about that amount in relieving distressed poople, making no dis- tinction between Moslems and Christians, This templo has two flash torches that aro supposed to have been used in tho palace of young Hannibal in Carthage before Christ. “The Tunis templo requires that all appli- cants shall be sound physically and thore must have been no talnt of iusanity among their ancestors, The rapid growth of the Mystic Shrine in 'America is the amazement of castern nobles and the printed revorts of its proceedings are in great aemand in the east. A recent Musonic journal makes the state- ment that there are forty Shrines in the old worla. “'Es selamu aleikum” (peace be with you) 18 one of the most familiar sastations among. oriental Nobles. The response is “aleikum ©3 selamu” (with you bo peace.). A class of thirty postulants trod the burn- ing sands of Tangier temple Eriday night and were received in the Arabic faith with vomp and ceremonv. ‘The class was thor- oughly represontative in character and shows tho material in the Mystic Shrine. Among those upon whom the dignity of “nobles’ was conferred were Kdward Dickinson, as- sistant goneral manager Union Pacific sys- tem, W. N, Ba . superintendent of tho Union stock yards, A. C. Foster of Swift & Co., “Buck McPherson of the South Omaha National bank, George H. Leslie, George E. Crosby, John I, Coots. Dr, W. M. Bailey, recoraer of Moslem tem plo of Dot which was founded in 1860, arrived Friday and opened headquarters at the Mitlard. The doctor has received infor- mation from Potentate Lon Burt that 150 Shriners will leave Dotroit Sunday morning for Omaba bringing with them the Shrine elephant, which by the way is papier macbe. This animal will be mounted on a flont and guarded by twenty-eight Aravs. 'I'he badge of Moslem temple s particularly unique, a large camel with the pyramids in the distance, at the base of which “Moslem” is carved. It is made of white metal and looks like the breast platc of somo Arabian shevk.

At the same meeting a plan was discussed whoreby every moember in the city shall have and wear a woodmon charm or pin.

Now, 0 soon as we shail have beard from Mr, Belva Lockwood we shall be prepared to form an accurate conclusion. Miss Maud Wilson, whose engagement to the earl of Huntingdon has been recently an- nounced, is said to be tho first Australian girl wooed and won by an Englishman of title in Kngland, though” other colonjal mar- ges and engagements have occurred in Australia.

Courtship, as wo understand it, is notin any way per- mitted to the betrothed couple.” No moon- light walks or tete-a-tetes are allowea. Such a courso would be decmed highly reprehensi- ble, and all wooing, if there be any, must take pluee in the presence of the eldeis; but there 1s no great Lime for reploing at these d 35 0f custom, for the marriage follows the offer as quickly as way be, The tiling of the will of Miss Agnes E. ster of Waterbury, Conn,, revealed a protty schoolday romance.

Charles McCarthy, in his geant ficoman's play, season at the Farnam stroet theater this af- ternoon, the engagament closing on Thurs- day evening. The company, with a special carload of soenory, six Arabian horses and a trick pony, arrived bere Friday morning di- rect from New York Mr. McCarthy has not been here for two years, and then tho theater was not large enough to hoid tho peorle. This season the company is the best ho has ever had, and - cludes the great and only Willlam Cronin, the leader of all Irish comedy. “*Ono of the Bravest” has proven to the entire satisfac- tion of all managers that it is what the pub- lic wants. This 1s the greatest firo play on record. Tho five scenc 1s tho most realistic piece of stage work ever witnessed. A real fire engine, hoso carriage and six white Arabian horses are used in this groat produc- tion. Mr. McCarthy is a graduate of tho New York five department, and 1 the sec- ond uct he uses all the ropos, net, hooks and life-saving ladders used by the Now York fire departmont, ““Ono of the Bravest” has been played in every city in Amorioa, and has been pronounced by tho pressand public to be tho greatest and grandestof all firo plays. The compauy is first class 10 every way, and two of the voungest und cleverest children ever seen on any stage will intro- duce new songs and dances during the per- formance. All the scenery, fire engine, hose carriage and borses are carried by this com- pany, making the production perfoot in every Omaha theater-goers will be treated to some of tho sweetest ballad singing that it has been their good fortuno to listen to in & long timo by the singers in Georzo Thatcher's “Tuxedo," which begins a two- nights’ ongagemont at Boyd’s Now theater, Friday ovouing, August 19. One of the fontures of this minstrol farce comedy crea- tion is the singing of a sextet of mixed voives, composed of the following vocalista: R. J. Jose, tho famous contratenor; Raymon Moore, the well known California balladist; H. W.'Frillman, the eminent basso; Thomas Lowis, baritone; Miss Ida Fitzhugh, a strong, clear-voiced, brilliany soprano, and Miss Graco Hamilton, a sweet-voiced con- tralto. Musically. the three first mentioned con- stitute a powerful attraction, since vhey are the leading ballad singers of the country. They form a three-part vocal figure whoso virife harmonies will fill the Boyd theater, a triple-loaved musioal clover that has been to Georgo Thatcher and his new production, “Tuxedo,” a veritable talisman of luck. R. J. Jose, the phenomenal contra-tenor, is not a stranger to lovers of fine singing in this city. Raymon Moore's stage reputation has been acquired in the past threo years. The peculiar charm of Mr. Moore's singing is the attention he gives to the proper phrasing of the music, which allows the fuli sentiment and meaning of the words to be undorstood. His enunciation 1s clear and distinct as if he was reciting instead of singing. H. W. Frillman’'s magnificent bass voice nas been heard to good advantage many times in this city. His latest success, which will be sung i *“Tuxedo,” is the anvil song from “Robin Hood.” Moore’s new songs are “You and I *‘Mollie 0.” and ““The Golden Wedaing,” which will prove as popular as did nis “Mary and John” gnd “That Is Love" last season.

The melodrama, *“The Struggle of Life,” will continue on the circuits, but Frederick Paulding will not play tho hero aguin. Wil- liam Stafford will take Pauiding’s place. Maurice Barrymore is writing a new play for Mrs, Bernard Beere, in whoso company he will be the leading actor this fall. Mrs. ?eel{‘u will make her first appearance in New ork. A line ictroduced by Dixey into “The Mascol” seems to creale more merrimont than other things in the text, and it has a certain fitness, t00: “Lock the doors; 1 am going to sing.” Gus Hsege, the author of “Yon Yonson and a clover exponent of Swedish dialect comedy, has neafly completed & new play which will bave as a hero a character quite as novel in theatrical usage as the Swede. Archibald Clavering Gunter is making a few alterations in his new play,*His Oficial Wife,” in which Minnie Seligman is the star, After the drama is satisfactorily comploted Gunter'will begin work on & new novel. Alexander E, Sweet, editor of the Toxas Sifuugs, and Daniel Sully, are collaborating at the latter's country home in the Katskills, a play which, when tinished, will be a politi® cal satire under the suggoestive uame ‘“I'am- many Hal William Floey, the Old Hoss in “A Parlor Mateb,” has had & number of new scenes written into the farce, and is studying new lines for the first time in nine vears.

And now it has been aiscovered by Albert Vandam of London that Sardou is a_ plagiar- ist. Mr. Vandam says that “Fedora and ‘'Lia Tosca” owe their existenco to Adolpho Daudet. “Fedora.” it is claimed, is taken from “La Drame do la Ruo do la_Paix.” ‘“Phoodora” is cribved from Jules Lacroix, “Lo Crocodilo” from Charles Reade and Dion Boucicault's “Foul Play:’ ‘‘Patrio” from an obscure play cailed “Loe Bourgeois de Gand;” *Nos Iutimes” (*Peril) from ons of Mackenzie's works; “Fernande” from Diderov's ‘“Jacques lo' Mataliste,” and *'Odette” from Mario Urchard’s “Fiancina.” But Ssrdou @ets 100,000 francs from every play ho writes, Whilo jn Omaha rehonrsing “Cupla’s Chariot” Manager Henry J.

No refusal is ever given, and the only ex- vense is oceasionally to tip the stage carpen- ter, who probably has to remove the scenes for the company. ~ The time is so limited that perhaps four or five companies rehearso on onestago. Itis estimated that no less than 110 companies are now occunied in this man- ner. Somatimes it is only the principals, at other times the chorus is at one place and the principals at auvother.
