The people’s party was to have held a convention Mon- day night, but owing to a blunder on tho part of somebody a call for a *‘mass conven tion™ was jssucd. T'his sounded too much like a free-for-ull tuvitation to come out and vo'e, so that when the taithiul came fogether they decided to declaro 1he convention off and issue another call, in- tended only for those who are willink to identify themselves with tho varty.

When the city attorney was called upon for adyice he shoula simply bave given it and the committoo would hold itself responsivle for its acts and its report.

They occupied seats in the lobby, watching. and waiting the out- como of their petition for beticr car service on the Loavenworth street stub line, Mr. Priuce cheered them up by # report in which he stated thot he had consulted with the street railway people. They haa in- formed him that within forty-eight. hours thoy would put, on another car and given a seven minute service between the hours of 6:30 und 9 o'clock a. m., and between the bours of 5 and 7 o'clock p.'m, This was satisfactory to the lobh members of that bodv went howe, and the Loecke Richardson's Readings, In tho pientitude of his powers, when the beights nad been reached and the cup of life was almost ready to run over, Shakespeare wrole a ‘A Winter's Talo,” and it was this dainty, pretty comcdy, with its dramatic .stirring environment, that Mr. Locke Rich- ardson read last evening at the Linin- ger gallery to a fine audience of our best people, devotees of the myriad-winded Shukespeare. And it is need- iess Lo say that thereader more than realized the good opinion which had preceded him to Omaba. His impersonation of the lofty- minded, spotless Hermione, was a revelation to the audicuce, Ler impassioned speccnes before hor tyrant in vindieation of her purity and womanhood being read with fine discrimination by this exponent of the nigher education. Perdita, that sweet picture of youthiful inuocence, one of the daintiest of Shakespeare’s women, lived, aud breathed the aumospiere of a ninctecnth cenlury art gallery through the ability of the réader. ‘The picture presented at the sheep shearing festival was full of brightness and color whilo the limming of the character of Antolycus, that merry hearted rogue whnose songs ana quips caused the audience Lo tes tify its genuine appreciation by laughter, was a personal triumph on the part of Mr! Richardson that shewed him 1n a wost en- viuolo light. And his closing sceno was read with aelicious feeling, rounding oue of the wost enjoyable and withal intellectual enter: tainments our people have been pecmiticd to listen to. Mr. Richardson will emphasize the triumph_already won by reading “As You Like 10" Friday eveniug at the Lininger gallery. The Duft © The J. C. Duff opera organizations huve & reputation for excellence of representation, and the company which inaugurated a two nights’ engagement at the Boyd's last even- ing fully sustaius it Suppe's “Die Afrikareise” was the work selceted, und in 1ts Koglish form as A Trip to Afriea it provided admirable entertain- ment to the large and fashionable audicuce, The work cootains nothing musically re- mu kable, and wheu produced at the Boston Bijou nearly nine years ago it obtuined what tho strangely polygiottal newspaper weiters of the east would call a mere succes d'cstimo, Yot the opera is eminently pleasing and en- tirely worthy of a place in the reper- tory” of any first-class company; ono or two of its solo numbers are melodious 1o a degree, while in concerted work it is dis- tinetly nmoteworthy. With capital staging and dressing and 1he conscientious work of a highly competent company, the opera should enter on a successtully ' popular career. ‘Ilieso necessary atlribulds to success it had at the hands of the Duff Opera company last evening. Miss Helen Beriram 1s a soprano of known attainwments, and in tue role of Titunia did mach Lo score the success of the work. As Tessn, Miss Villa Knox fuirly stmred the henors with the leading prima donna, while Miss Helen von Doerhoff in Baccametta gave o capital bit of comedy work and sang her scores 50 as 10 sbow to tho full the qual- 1ty of her flexible contralto. Tue tenors, Messrs, Bassett and Ratfagl, were fairly sufficient in their respective roles, Mr. Bassett showlng 1o tine aavantuge with' Miss Bertram in the rose duct, cer- tainly the gem of the book, H. Byley, the inimitable, was as dryly fuuny as ever and sRug bis part correct!y as usuul, which so few cowic opora comedians aro expected todo. Mr, Willium Schuster won & world of praise for his admirable rerd ring of the two numbers written for the Muezzin, the first of which, with the rosponsive chorus, being as fine a piece of wusical composition as Suppe has ever done, “A Trip 1o Africa’ will ve welcomed again in O.naba by all who enjoyed the privilege of listeniug to its first rendition last eveu- | fng.
