G 0. D. BROWN'S OPENING He Opens in His New Location, His Largo Grooery, EVERY LADY RECEIVED A BOQUET Great Crowds Att a Was a Grand Sucoess—Handsomely Hiuminated Night — Goods and Prices Caught the Or Vosterday -1t Last w There have been n number of open- ings within the past week: dry goods und miilinery, as well furniture houses, huve given Omaha people a chance to inspect fall styles in these lines, but no fall opening so far held his been u greater sy thun I3d. N. Brown's C. O. D. grocery opening, which was held yestorday. K lady visitor was presented o hundsome boquet of natural flowers, and when it s kuewn that 6,000 of th beautiful floral souvenirs were given out before = o'clock yesterday aiternoon, somo iden of the size of the crowd may be estimated ‘I'he oceasion was not particularly a fall opening but the opening of *C. O. D. Brown’s;” as he is familiarly called, new store. A short time ago Mr. the Hetzel bankrupt stock of groee which included the mammoth grocery stock located at the old Stonehill stand, 114 and 116 S 16th street. Hoe securcd this mammoth stock for about Hc on the dol.ur and many claim he paid less for it. Heo then removed from his old stand, corner 16th and Cavitol avenue, to the old Stonehill-Hetzel stores, next to the Boston Store, where the opening took place yesterday. L'vom early morning till late last night the people flocked into Brown’s C. 0. D., and few were those who left the store without leaving an order of some desciiption. Muany expressed surpriso at the prices, which are below anyth heretofore heard of in the grocery line. But whieu you take into consideration the fact thut the Hetzel buakrupt stock was bought for fifty ccn ® on the dollar and that Brown has threc stores, one in Council Bluffs, one 1 South Omaba and this big one in Omahu, is there any reason why he shoull not be ale to bi goods cheapy he buys iv large quan- tities as some of the wholesule houses do, and gets us low prices, This is what brings the people out— the pr ind they all know thav 15d N, Brown’s C. O. D alw gives cus- tomers the benelit of any little inside price thut he may catch onto during his numerous *still hunts” for good goods at low prices. d L. Cloughlin will occupy Fd N.

The crowded streot of the busy metropolis with its noise and dust and smoke is hardly the placa for oullding an ideal home. He who can afford the luxury of pure aiwrand plenty of room will go further out and build where he will e surrounded by those essentiais of a pleas- ant home, plenty of gresn grass aud trees, pervaded by a sonse ot gulet. While there are many aavantages con- nected with the saburban home thers 1s jne great disadvautage, the difiiculty of reach- ing the business center of the ocity, The introduction of rapid transit by means of the electric motors bas greatly reduced this dif- fioulty and ® citizen may reside in the suouros aud still be near his business if his co buppens to be on the line of the c motor, In stormy weatLer the re: aent of the suburbs is always at s di vantage and & breuk in the transportation service puts bim to no end of inconvenience. T'his has led to the iutroduction in wany cities of the country of the private park sy: tem, which his all or nearly all tne ud- vautages of the suburban residence and m; be without the serious objection of inagces: bility. The park system is hoen to 1ts best advautage i St. Louls, and to sowe extent in Chicago. A tractof land is secured us near into the city as possible and 1n an ac- cessibie locality. It must be & tract thut has not been all out up into streets and alloys by the city and that can be controlled in that respect by the owner. The grounds sre laid off and beautified by means of the landscape gardener's art and the residences grouped &t convenient points add to the attractiveness of the whole. The fluest exsmples of this lt‘llom are veritable parks maintained with the greatest care and form pleasing spots in in the oity surrounded as wany of thew are by solia residence or business blooks, T eueral publio, howover, cun only look on and admire as they are closed to all but the residents and their friends. 0 dogs or loiterers allowed in bere' is the sign over the entrance o one of these residence parks iu an eastera city, . It seems aimost a pity that some of Omaba's additions have wot been laid out on this plan. There are several localities in this ity that might bave baco u'llizel with kood results for this purpose. ‘Lhat part of the city lylng back of Brownell hall would have made & spleudld private residence park l SUNDAY and the elosing of 4tk stracts would not have interfered with thes waffic of the city.

NEw YoRrk, Sept. 24.—~The Times sa. The Amcrican Type Foanders company, the newly formed trust which seeks to con- trol the type making industry of the country calls itself, has issued a preliminary prospec- tus, which gives a definite idea of the magni- tudeof the deal, From this document it appears that the capitalization ot the trust has been fixed at $01,000,000, representing 40,000 shares of preferrad stock and 50, 000 shaves of common steck. Tue twenty- threo houses in the trust represent, it 1s asserted, fully 85 per cont of the ontire busi- noss of tho country. These houses are: Maokellar, Smiths & Jordan, Collins & Me- Leester and Pelose & Co., Philadelphia; James Conners Sons, P. H. Helorich and A W. Linds: New York; Carr & Co., John Ryan & C .

The officers of the orzanizations are: President, Robert Allison, Cincinnati; vice prosident, William B. Mackellar, Philadel- phia; eastern manager, G. Froderick Jor- dan, Philadelpbia; western manager, John Marder, Chicago; secretary. A. T. H. Irewer, Chicago; directors, Robert, Allison, William B. Macxellar, F'rederick Jordan, J. W. Phinney, John Marder, Cortlandt Parker. Ouly throe large firms, Farmer, Little & Co., and the Bruce Type foundry of this cit and Barnhart Brotbers & Spiudler of Chi- cago, remuin outside the combination, and so for as the local bouses are concerned it is us- sorted that they are practically in harmony with the aims of the trust, although not car- ing to1dentify thomselves with it. It is gen- erally conceded that the new organization will practically control the markot. All tho smaller firms will bo crowded out and those which remain outside the trust will not at- tempt any serious competition. The immediate effect of the combination, according to H. M. Hall of the Bruce tvpe foundry, will be to put an ond to the fierce competition which has obtained in the busl- ness for the last ten years, To begin with, the rate of discounts will bo reduced materi- ally, At present many firms are giving as high as 5 per cent discount. Prices, too, will come up. Mr. Hall holds that' they should be at least 15 per cent higher. Tho general impression in the trade is that the present pricos are altogother too low, and that the various houses outside the new or- ganization aro prepared to accopt a consid- erabie increase in all prices with pleasure, On this account, those firms which refused to identify themselves with the trust look upon it with favorand hold to the idea that it will have a beneficial effect on the type founders’ interests at large. e Sweathouses in New Jersey. Newanrk, N. J.. Sept. 24.—Deputy Labor Inspsctor Callan of the state bureau has made a report co the Essex trade council re- garding his work among the ifactories of Newark.

NEW FAVORITES Gosip of Plays and Actors from Across the Water, NEW PIECES THAT WILL BE PRODUCED Coming Debut of Sedohr Rhodes, an A 1ean Sin, inan English Theate What the Theater-Goers ind to Talk About, Loxnox, Sept. 24.—From the present in dications managers will have an opportunity during the present season to recoup the losses thoy sustained last season, which was rondered unsuoccessful, in a pecuniary sonse, by the death of the duke of Clarence and Avondale, and tho consequent period of mourning, which has put an end to theater- going among tho fashionable ciasses. - Since the boginning of the month, when theaters began to reopen, husiness has been unusually £ood at almost ali the places of amusement that have oponed their doors to the public, At the Drury Lane theater, where the ‘“Prodigal Daughter,” (the joint work of Sir Augustus Harris and Mr. Henry Pettitt) is being presented, there has been an enormous attendance. The play is a sporting drama and bas veen described as ‘‘realism at its last gasp.” In the third act of *Prodigal Daughter’’ there is given a most realistic preseniment of & race course scene. This course is us far as possible an exact revro- duction of the one at Liverpool over which the grand national stoeplechase is run. ‘U'welve horses appear in the race in this act, and one of them, of course, the winner, is Voluptuary, who did actually win the grand vational in 1584, Whatever the merits of the “Prodigai Daughter” as a play may be tho people are anxious to sce the splendid spectacle presented and consequently money is belug colned by tho management. At the Adeiphi theater,where “The Lights of Home'" is playing, ard the Vaudeville theater, whero “Our Hoys" 1s on tho boards, the public nughly fill the houses to thew ut- most cupacity, and the Gattis, who manage both houses, look complaceutly upon tue rush, Ellen Terry and Henry Trving, Great interest ig manifested in tho ry opening of the Lyceum theater tonight, when Mr. Henry irving will again oppear i ““The Belis,” which wtll be presented for six nignts, when “King Henry VIILY will ngain be puton. The recent reports con- cerning the ill health of Miss Terry uro groatly exaggerated. She will appear on October 1 in_her old part of Queen Kuther- inein “IKing Henry VIIL," while Mr. Irving wili play Cardinal Wolsey. The Savoy thoater also reopens tonight with “Haddon Hall,” Sullivan & Grundy’s much-talked-of new comic opera. lnterest in this new work is intenso and the house will undoubtedly be packed. The cast, as announced, will be as follow. John Muuners, Mr. Curtice Pounds: Sit George Vernon, Mr, Rtichard Green; Oswald, Mr. Kenningham; Rupert Vernon' (iouna~ head) Mr. Rutlund Barrington; Puri the McCrankie, Mr. W. H. Denny Song Stmon, Mr. Rudolph Lowis: I Candlemas,” Mr. W. Loon: Nicodemus Knock-kneo, Mr. A. Fowles; Barnabas Bollows-to-mend, Mr. C. DePiedge; Major Domo, Mr. Mordon; Dorothy Vernon, Miss Lucile Hill; Lady Vernon, Miss Rosinu Brandram; Dorcas, Miss Dorothy Deborah Vane; Nance, Miss Nita Cole; Gertrude, Miss Claribel Hyde: Deborab, Miss Florence Iaston, The scene of tho opera is laid at | Haddon hall, and hinges on a love affair and | clopement of Dorothy Vernon and the son of the carl of Rutland. The onslaught of the oritics uvon Mrs. | Langtry’s uow play, “The Queen of Manoa,’ now being played at the Haymarkot theater, hashad no effect on 1ts bookings. The house is filled_every night and the desire to | see the play has justified Mrs. Langtry in announcing & matinee, It would seem from | this that the adverse critical notices have fallen flat upon the public. Should misfor- tune yet overtake Mrs. Langtry in this ven- ture she has two moro plays in reserve.
