LOORING TO THE FUTURE Precont is an Absolute Blank in the London Theatrical World, MARQUIS OF LCRNE WRITES AN OPERA Wilson Harrett Is Preparing to Bring New Tragedy Which Promises Produce n Sensation—Musicinng Still in Retirement. Out a to (Copyrighted, 1894, LONDON, Aug. novelty at the th air is full of busy tember openings p The marquis of Lorne has entered the lists of “librettists” and has prepared the book of an opera to which Mr. Hamish Mc- Cunn has written the music. The subject matter has not yet transpired, but the sub- Ject doubtlessly s Scotch, and the author is rather an adept at “rhymerel,”’ having turned the Psalms into verse, or rather rhymes, some years ago. The marquis is affibitious to have his work performed at a west end theater, but her majesty has re- fused permission, coupling the refusal with a fartlal promise to have it produced at Windsor or Balmoral. Mr. Wilson Barrett produced at his Leeds theater last Wednesday “The Manxman,” an adaptation of his friend Hal Caine’s new book of the same name. It is an exceedingly powerful play, drawn from a book which the critics have not hesitated to describe as one of the very finest novels of the cen- tury. The play follows the book very closely— Mr. Barrett's adaptation having the advantage of condensation and elimination of what an exclted reader of the book would call “use- let " By virtue of this compression Mr. Barrett made patent on "‘Ben My Chree,” his adaptation of Mr. Hal Caine's “Thé Deem- ster.” The story ot “The Manxman'' as unfolded in the play 15 as old as the bible, the story of David, Bathsh:ba and Uriah, and. the moral of the play s laid down with terrific em- phasis in the gld text: ‘‘What shall it profit @ man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?™’ 18 LIKE OTHELLO. The play is a tragedy, and it possesses the true mote of tragedy—inevitableness. In bringing _about the calamities, the awful vrises with which the plot abounds, human nature will play its part, but inexorable fate, the inflexible laws of society, even a sort of malicions chance, plays a larger part still, It is the same keynote as is in Othello. There are five acts and five scenes, scenery was most elaborate, and from Manx views. “The Manxman® will be produced in Lon- don preparatory to being taken to New York, where it will open Mr. Barrett's eight weeks' engagement at the American thester. -Mr. Barrett will also be seen in two or three other American cities. The libretto of a new opera, the Jjoint work of Messrs. Harry and Edward Paulton, has just been completed for Pauline Hall. The next proposed development of the tableaux - vivante craze is to be produced, huge tableaux depicting the battle of Water- 100, the engagement at Tel-el-Kebir and the march on Kandahar. It Is proposed to have two or three hundred living figures in ad- dition to the.painted ones and the innumera- ble_accessorios. Comyns Carr opens the Comedy on Sep- tember; 1 with Sydney. Qrundy's “The New Woman,” the Ameriean rights of which have been purchaséd by Charles Frohman for the Empire theater,” New York: Mr. Grundy's uncompromising ~ treatment of his subject will probably ‘arouse a considerablo amount of lively discussion on both. sides of the Atlantic. The world 8 modern fletion fis been mu: i agitated oyer the pretensions apd claims of “The New : Whmah," and the moment s therefore. well chosen to transfer the dis- cussion from the region of literature to the wider arena of the stage. The play will present a series of scenes of salient comedy and satire, In which the modern development of womanhood iz contrasted finely, sharply, almost ridiculously, with the earlier and more elemental type of the sex. Rehearsals have been going on daily for a fortnight past under the direction of Mr. Grundy and Mr. Carr, who has engaged a fine cast to interpret it. Miss Winfred Emery remains the leading lady, to all‘playgoers’ satisfaction, and has a charming part In “The New Woman." Her husband, Cyril Maud, has a character role that suits him admirably. Fred Terry plays the hero of the play. Rose Lecter, after a short absence, resumes her alleglance to the comedy, and Alma Murry and G. H Graham are new -members. Three distinct types of the wodern woman will be imper- sonated by Laura Groves, Gertrude Warden apd Irene Rickards, Other characters will find representatives in Mr. Wyes, Mr. Cham- pion, Miss Radcliffe and Miss O'Brien. Miss rr's name is a guarantee for the mounting. @eftrude Warden, who is Mrs. Wilton Jones in private life, is the well known novelist MUSICIANS STILL IN HIDING. The leading musical celebrities are still #oattered In their summer reireats. The trothers De Reszke are at their nome In Poland, Mme. Melba at her flat in Paris, Mme.

Ravogli is in Ktaly; Sir Arthur Sullivan s at Waiton-on-Thames, and “the summer hiding place of Sarah Bernhardt, which she vowed would remain unknown, has been discovered to be Bagmell, in the pleturesque bay of Concarneau, about ten miles from Quimper, Brittany. Next year will see a new departure by Sir Augustus Harris—he will import his German opera by wholesale. The Teutonic season rivals the more fashionable Ttalian season, and it has proved in London more popular and more remunerative. The .eompany from the Carlsruhe opera house, under the conductorship of Herr Mogtl, will be imported in a body in June, 1595. ~On Monday next Sir Augustus Stark starts his tour of grand opera throughout Great Britain and Ireland. The company will visit tivelve of the principal cities It is not impossible that Hen v Irving may this year produce Faust on the stage of the Comedle Francaise, Paris. M. Samary is yery anxious to arrange it, believing that Irving's success would be extraordinary. A detachment of the Comedie Francaise has jJust given a performance of “Oeidipe Rol" and of “Autigone” in the ruin of the Roman theater at Orange, near Avignon, in which Monnett Sully achieved a veritable triumph. The grand place of Cattolica, near Gir- gentl, Italy—an entire marketplace, with church complete—has just been used as the stage setting for a performance of “Cav- allerl,”” with thousands for an audience, and “all ‘despite of my lord cardinal’’ ' The ehurch und its organ were actively included in/ the ‘‘properties. by the Associated Pr 26, ~There has been no ers this week, but the preparations for the Sep- ) The painted AT THE OMAUA THEAT s, What the Loeal Playhouses Offer for the Week Coming. “Charley’s Aunt” comes to Omaha with promise of lots of laughter during its stay here. It certainly has a most phenomenal tecord. The.success which “The Private Secretary” made elght years ago is nothing compared with the tremendous tri- umphs of this new farce. It will be pre- sented at the Boyd theater Mondiy evening and the twa succeeding evenings, with mat- ines Wednesday. The production is- under the - direction of Charles Frohman, who fourld ‘‘Charley’s Aunt the most profitable perty that has come Into his possession [5 his Satire: menagorist cavser: ‘The New York, Boston and Chicigo runs have netted him_over $200,000, and the American record of the pluy, great as it Is, bears ouly slight comparison’ Wwith {ts records In the older world.

Mr. Thomss, it wili ba rempmbercd, played here in “The Panto- wime Rehearsal” with Rosiga Vokes, and as | made himself a great favorite. Besides the Lohdon “‘Charley’s Aunt” there is ome in Berlin, whers ft has been running for over six_months; one in Stockholm, Sweden;one in Florence, Italy; one in Australia, and one in South Africa, all meeting with the most extraordinanry success. And there is soon to be a French “‘Charley's Aunt” in Paris. It has made covntless theusands laugh In all these different parts of the world. ~ The play is a pure farce. Thero are six de- lighttul love stories In it, every one of them completely told, so that heart Interest helps ““Charley’s Aunt” to its remarkable success. A suggestion of its story will do Two young men at college have two sweet- hearts; the former invite the latter to a luncheon in cne of the student's rooms to meet the aunt of the young gentleman whose first name [s Chariey. The girls arrive, but_the aunt sends a telegram Informing her nephew that she has been delayed and cannot two. The young men know perfectly well that the girls will not stay to luncheon if they heard that Charley’s aunt is not com- ing, o to hold them and glve the occasion a_ cloaking of propriety they get a college chum, one Lord Fancount Babberly, who is a droll little fellow, to Impersonate the aunt and do the honors, as it were. The al aunt is a millionaire widow from Brazil, where the nuts come from,” and before she turns up the bogus aunt has secured two proposals of marriage from middle-aged gentlemen, one the father of Charley's chum, the other the guardian of one of the weetheafts; she has also been made the glrls' confidant, and hugged and kissed them 80 recklessly that their two lovers are driven to_distraction. There is & great whirl of fun for three acts, and then all ends happily, with lots of lova and laughter Mrs. Cora Urquhart Potter, accompanied by Mr. Kyrle Bellew, will appear at Boyd's on Thursday, Friday and Saturday next This engagement may be considered one of the principal events of the theatrical season and should draw an audience, both [n size and quality, that will be a representative one in this cfty. Mrs. Potter will be remem bered as ‘& brilliant New |York 'society woman who sacrificed ber position among the four hundred to beccme a hard working professional ectress. She s a delicate, refined and cultured woman of remarkably strong character and indomitable will, and courage enough for an army of men. _After her first appearance in New York she was as- salled by an amount of adverse criticism that would have made many a stouter heart grow faint, but perseverance will win in all things, and today those critics who were most adverse and bitter in their criticisms aro forced to admit that her im- provement Is most wonderful and that she posesses all of the requirements of a polished and studious actress. Mr. Kyrle Bellew is an actor with whom the entire theater going public is thoroughly familiar, During the many years that he was leading man in Wallack's theater in New York his name became a household word. The opening ‘play will be Dumas’ famous comedy, “In Soclety.” This will be followed on Friday night by “Charlotte Cor- day,” a_dramatization of the story of the famous French heroine.

The Milk Dealers' assoclation held a meet- ing'in Wolte's hall last night to discuss the advisability of raising the price of milk. There was a large attendance. It Is esti- mated that there are 200 milk dealers in Omaha and they feed on an average 7,000 to 8,000 cows every winter. Thelr expenses for feed ar: considerable, and owing to the scarclty of corn and hay many of them are teeding wheat, as it is cheaper. The Board of Health is opposed to the feeding of malt, but the milkmen say that they only feed the best and freshest malt, and that it not only keeps the cows In good condition, but produces an average grade of milk. They clalm that they get the malt hot from th kettles at the breweries and feed it to the cows before it Eas .a chanee’ to get sour or talnted. It Is claimed that malt Is as good for milch cattle as ensilage. The milkmen have been seiling’ sixteen to eighteen quarts of milk for §1, reducing the amount they sold in the spring of eighteen to twenty quarts to this number, Now they propose to reduce the number of quarts for $1 to fourteen and sixteen, and then it is claimed that th'y will not mo than make expenses, The milkk dealer who has not considerable feed on hand for .this winter, and who is not iu fairly good finan- cial circumstances, anticipates a, pretty hard tiwe of it in making all ¢nds meet At the meeting last night the assoclation elected the following officers for the en- sulng year: Louis Littlefleld, prisident; J. H. Hock, vice president; Grant Badtorf, treasurer; K. E. Fox, secretary. They adopted the following sehedule of prices for milk, which will go into effect Scptember 1: By the pint, fourteen quarts for §1; by the quart, sixteen for $1; by the can, 35 cents, and cash in advance for .all tickets. Night— oo e A LIBRARY DIRECTORS. Business Done at the Annual Meeting Last Night-OmMcers Electod. At the annual meeting of the directors of the city library last night it was decided to grant the use of the third floor of (he new library building to the Western Art associa- tion, in which to establish a school and give au art exhibition some time in October. Officers were elected as follows: President, Lewis Reed; vice president, Willlam Wallace; - sqcretary, Frank L. Haller; libravian, Miss Jessie Alla o Deputy Was Game, " ST.

In reply to ques- tions he stated that he did not favor com- pulsery arbitration in the settlement of labor troubles. He aid mot believe, he sald, that such a method would prove universally satis- factory. Mr. Debs was asked if ho knew of any dissatistaction among the Rock Island employes previous to the stri He sald that thers had been trouble amoug the telegraphers of the road and that thers was much dissatisfacticn. Questioned as to the statement that there were not more than 200 American Railway union men on the Rock Island, the witness said the statement was absurd. “The fact that the road was com- pletely tied up,” he added, “effectually dis- approves such a story.” Superintendent Dunlap of the Rock Island declared the alleged black 1ist had no exist- ence. Superintendent of Police Brenman was asked to tell how the discrder growing out of the strike 'was handled. = “On June 26 the mayor directed me to use the entire force to pro- tect property and prevent violence, Until the arrival of troops on July 23 the force had handled it without any great violence and practically no destruction of property. Complaints were made that policemen did not do their full duty in lawlessness.”” He said that many of those complaints were made by deputy marshals who were more in the way than of service. D. Doty said he was in the employ of the Pullman company as a civil engineer and also as statistician and historian. He testified that the Pullman rents were not high com- pared with rents at other places. CLEVELAND IGNORED THEM. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, gave some valuable evidence. He prefaced his testimony by a brief outline of the aims and principles of the federation and gave figures showing the membership of the organization. The wit- ness told of the calling of the conference of the heads of labor organizations, which was held at the Briggs house in Chicago. He said that after long deliberation the dele- gates decided to request President Cleveland to attempt to settle the strike. “W thought,” Gompers said, “that if Mr. Glad- stone could do so mueh good service in the English_coal strike such an attempt would not be beneath the dignity of che president of the United States. Accordingly a tele- gram was sent to Mr. Cleveland. asking his aid, To that message he did not deign to reply. In fact, he took not the slightest notice of it. Mr. Debs was then called upon and gave a history of the boycott, the Pull- man_trouble and the railrcad strike. “We considered the matter carefully and finally decided that we could not order a general strike, that it would be a usurpation of power and would for many reasons be un- wise. The delegates expressed their sym- pathy with the movement and soon after- ward we adjourned. Mr. Gompers read from the secre- tary’s report o detalied statemient of the proceedings of the conferance. Mr. Gompers explained that to effect a general strike all the unions participating must_agree on the action, and said that it would, have been impossible for the Brigs hotise conference to have declared a general sympatlietic strike. He ‘was asked for' hils opinion as to methods for preventing strikes. “I do not condemn strikes as heartily as do some men,” he said. “I belleve that so long as present conditions exis! they are necessary, and I believe all strikes do good by calling attenticn to the fact that the labor- ing man will not be driven farther down into poverty. I think the action of the strikers in paralyzing the rallroads of the country was justifiable.” The witness was rather frankly uncompli- mentary in his opinion of the strike com- mission. “I think this thing Is a little late in the day,” he said. “This examination by the commissioners is rather in_the nature of an inquest on a dead body. I don’t anticipate great good from the present investigation.” The witness had something he wanted to say about the injunctions issued by the ccurt He held these injunctions were not rightly based on the interstate commerce law; that thal law was not intended to apply to’labor organizations. He sald the injunctions were based upon court-made law, upon declsions glven in the absence of law. When Mr. Gompers finished the commis- sion adjourned until Monday. An error crept into last night's report of the proceedings before the commission investigating the Pull- man strike. The statement was made that Mr. St. John, general manager of the Rock Island, testified that a list of names had been prepared for the General Managers as- soclation containing the names of the most active strikers. Mr. St. John mads no such statement, but testified that neither the Rock Island nor the General Managers as- soclation had ever kept a black list or that they had such at the present time. LABOR LOOKING TO THE BALLOT. Movement for United Politieal Work Taking Formidable Shape WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.—Since the ac- knowledged failure of the great A. R. U. strike there has been a manifest tendency on the part of the labor leaders to. urge their followers to unite for the betterment of wage earners in politics. President Debs of the A. R. U. has proclaimed this as their wisest course, Representative Hudson of Kansas sald to- day: I have no doubt this movement to found headquarters of the ‘labor ovrganiza- tions here in Washington will be successtul It is not intended to remove the existing headquarters of the Knights of Labor from Philadelphia, nor to bring the central office of any order here, but merely to have head- quarters where representatives of lsboring organizations will be maintained who can work in the interests of labor, The true friends of laboring men have always ad- yised them to avoid strikes and have re- coursé to the ballot for the betterment of their condition as a class. “There Is a greater tendency toward united work amcog the different organizations' at this time than ever before. This tendency was manifested in the petition for the free colnage of silver and against interest on bonds which was recently presented to the bouse from united labor.” It is understood that e organizations will maintain agents here to look after their political interests, as some of them do now, but that these representatives will be ex- pected to co-operats for the furtherance of legislation deemed to be for their interests. WRIGHT HAS A PUL MAN PASS, Chairman of the Strike Commission Rides Free in the Marquis' Cars, CHICAGO, Aug. 25.—United States Labor Commissioner Carroll D. Wright, chairman of the special labor commission appointed by President Cliveland to investigate 'the Pullman strike, was interviewed as to a re- port that he was in the habit of using a Puliman pass. He tcarcely gaye the re- porter time to finish his question. “Yes; 1 have an annual pass on all Pull- man cars,” said he with emphasis, “and 1 use it whenever 1, want to.” “Did you use it in coming to Chicago?" “I did not, and the government would have been the gainer If 1 had.”" ““Are you in the habit of travling on it" “I use i whenever [ please. The pass was given to me by Mr. Puliman, who is a personal friend of mine, and I have had it for several y:ars—ever since the first Pull man investigation I made—for 1 suppose that's what you are driving at. I never knew Mr. Puliman until then, but I met nim at that time, and he has been a warm friend of mine tver since. He gave me passes and invited me to ride om his cars whenever | wanted to—just as a man would '&:%‘f& e o | ol 8 bw ¢ Te0t od ool maha Carpet Company, invite another to take a.ride i his carriage.” Commissioner- Wright's pass entitles him (o ride free in any -Pullingh car at any time in any part of the_United States. WAS A MATTER OF MONEY. Northern Pacific Found the Kate War Too Expensive to Maintain, CHICAGO, Aug. 25.—The Northern Pacific has backed down In the position It has main- tained since the beginning of the year against Canadian Pacific differentials from trunk line territory to Pacific codst points. The Cana- dian Pacific was allowed originally $7 differ- ential on first-class, azd §5 on second class, the understanding befng that the differentials were to apply only on business sent from toria by water. The Soo Mie immediately on the strength of the allowance made by the Canadian Pacific made a differential of $3.50 from both the Northern and the Great Northern. They immediately cut their St. Paul rates $1.50 to corfespond with the tarift issued by the Soo line,;and the argumient has been hot ever since, rafes being kept in a state of constant ~demoralization. Northern Pacific has now abandoned its posi- tion, not because it believes its position to be unjust, but because it loses more money in keeping its own rafes down than it will lose by allowing the diffgrentials to remain in effect. “ MONUMENT FOR Wi K VICTIMS, mcramento Citizens Ralse a Fund for That 1rpose.
