8 MUSIC FROM OLD NASSAU Entertainment by the Gleeful Lads of Princeton at Boyd's Last Evening, SEVERAL NEW FACES AND NEW PIECES Standard of Exeellenco Set in Former Years Malntained—Reception and Ball at the Armory—Groups that Filled the Boxes, The orange and the black! On many an athletic field have” Princeton’s colors brought consternation to would-be rivals, oftentimes after a struggle in which the very life was hazarded. All for the glory and honor of the old alma mater, loved by her foster sons.almost as much as a real flesh and blood mother. Last night the sons of Old Nassau came to the city to sing the old songs and to play the old tunes, to again inspire as of old the brothers that have passed from under the fostering wing. Boyd's theater was well draped with the beautiful colors and potted plants were ar- rarged along the sides of the stage. The avdience was somewhat meager, but was of a quality that is rarcly gathered within the four walls of the theater. They were the #wells, both men and women, in full evening dress. They made up in enthusiasm for the smallness of the attendance, all the numbers belng encored, and at times three or four responses being demanded. The program was made up of old college songs and tunes and was vausually well rendered by the amateur musicians from the opening song to the sharp "‘Rah, rah, rah, tiger, siss, boom, ah!" that marked the finale. Musically, the performance was up to the standard which was marked out by the Princeton Glee and Mandolin clubs of last year. There were faverites missing from the ranks of the club, but their places have been taken by men who have absorbed much of the humor which some of the men of brought to solo parts, and the regret over their ab ce, in consequence, ‘was somewhat softened. There were several exceedingly creditable numbers glven, the boys of Old Nas- £au maintaining the credit of their Alma Mater with entire satisfaction. A selection from the text book of every Princetonian, adopted by every Tiger, from the youngest freshman up to the oldest genfor, a b:ok much more universally thumbed than the bible, “Carmina Prince- tonis,” entitled,"Tlie Orange and the Black," opened the program, and was sung by the glee club. Then came a march by Arm- strong, played with a good deal of feeling by the banjo club. ~ Mr. Reichner then sang “Kal Gar Kal Men,” a meaningless Greek vocal production, supported by the Glee club. There was, however, a pleasant jingle to the musie, showing Mr.. Reichner a very cleyver musician along certain lines. So brightly was the song glven that the soloist gave another of his arrangements, entitled, “And He Closed His Dark Blue Ey a song with a topical vein to it, which brought out the first genuine applause of the evening. The Mandolin club played a Spanish dance, which was prettily phrased, and again the Gleo club amused the audience with a med- ley of '95. This was followed with a “Tri- angle Song,” o called, in which the entire Glee, Banjo and Mandolin clubs joined, and which was given with entire musical feeling and was followed by an encore taken by the Glee club singing “‘New Jersee,” an ancient member of the Hassan family of songs. The Banjo club played a catchy arrangement of popular airs, when Mr. Pease and the club sang “Tne Sad Tale of a Mule” Mr. Pease, however, 18 not a comedian agd should con- fine Kimselt to “The Fatal Wedding” if that 18 in his repertoire, ““Comrades’ and others of a semi-tragic nature. 1 One of the brightest gems of the evening was the “Nagla. Waltz," by Delibes, played with musicaln effect by the Mandolin ciub. But the genuine hit, from an artistic point of view, was ‘“Thé Posthorn,” with cornet obligato, arranged by Ptucger and played by Mr. McNish of New York, assisted by the Glee club. The young man, although mod- est enough to 1emain behind the scenes, showed a thorough knowledge of his instru- ment and his tones were exquisite in their clearness, the staccato tones being particu- larly effective, while the technique displayed WA of @ high order. nunibers introducing the different clubs, “Wing, My Honey, Wing," by Mr. Carroli and the Glee club and the “Creole Love Song,” by the combined clubs being the gems of part third, the love song bringing the pleasing entertainment to a close, After” the performance the Princetonlans wero entertained with an impromptu dance at the armory of the Thurston Rifies, and they left this morning for Cedar Rapids, ‘where they give a concert tonight, Tho boxes were all filled at last night's concert. In box A were Mr. and Mrs. Bler- bower; box B held Mr. and Mrs. John L. Webster, Miss Webster and Miss Doak; box €, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Dickinson, Miss Dickinson, Miss ~Crandall, Miss Keim ot Philadelphia, and Miss Anderson of Pueblo, Colo., ard this box, by the way, seemed the central attraction of the evening. Box D contained Mrs, Frank Colpetzer, who chaper- oned quite a party of young people, Miss Baum, Miss Sadle Baum, Miss Palmer, Miss Cook and Miss Squires; Mr. and Mrs. Henry W. Yates occupled box E, accompanied by thelr daughters; Mr. and Mrs. Collins, Miss Mount, Miss Sloan, Mr. Allen and Mr. Chris- tlan occupied box I, while in box G were Mr. and Mrs. Milton Hogers and Mr. and Mrs, 0.

The concert glven by Mr. Franz Adelman's orchestra, at the Young Men's Christian asso- clation auditorium last evening, was much enjoyed. Mr. Adelman proved that, as a conductor, he lacks none of the. qualities of first class leader. Following the beautiful overture, rendered with all the nicetles the spirit of the plece demanded, appeared Mrs, Charles Wilhelm, soprano, who was received With all those evidences of favor, which a pleased audience is cager to manifest. Mrs. Muentefering on the plano and Mr. Peder- sen on the flute, met again with the gracious reception 5o often before tendered them. — MEDICS MEET IN SESSION.

Electrlc Cars on the Dodge Streot Line— Yesterday's Test. Should the present spell of cold weather continue for a few days the Omaha Street Rallway company will be obliged to equip the Dadge and North Twentieth street line with electric cars, as the zero temperature is playing sad havoc with the rope. The cable on this line broke once last Sunda twice on Monday, and yesterday it part again. Some months ago the company m: arrangements to change the line from cable to an electric system, and during the early fall all of the track connections and overhead fixtures were put in, but electric cars were not put in operation, the company thinking that the rope would last until spring. It I8 now known that the cable must go within a few days, and in order to be ready for any emergency, yesterday the line tested, one of the new motors hay- ing run twice over the entire track from the depot to Lake street. Iverything worked like o charm, and-the cars were taken over the Dodge stre=t hill as easily as though the elevation had beeh a level track.

REE# FRIDAY, TEXAS LAND SALES MIXED 0P Buit Instituted in This Oity to Settls Oonflicting Claims, FIGHT BEGUN WITH AN INJUNCTION Fifty Thonsand Dollars and a Large Tract of Real Estate Involved—Trouble Bes tween Southern Land Company and Texas Land Company. By the filing of papers in the distriot court yesterday afternoon a suit was begun which involves thousands of dollars and hun- dreds of thousands of acres of land. The Southern Land company of Texas is the plaintifft and the Texas Land and Cattle company is the defendant. The latter company, of which Herman intze is president and Fred Davls treas- uerer, was organized about four years ago for the purpose of buying and selling large tracts of land in Texas. Soon after the company was organized it bought about 200 000 acres of land in Wharton county, T and this large tract of land was known as the K O ranch. In 1892 the Texas Land and Cattle company entered fnto a contract with Jerberger & Rylander of Chicago and gave them the exclusive sale of this land. Jer- berger & Rylander were to sell this land £0 as to net the company $4 per acre on the first 20,000 acres, $5 per acre on the next 30,000 acres, $5.60 per acre on the third tract of 30,000 acres and §6 per acre on the bal- ance, After Jerberger & Rylander had secured the sale of this land, they, in turn, contracted with the Southern Land company to glve them exclusive sale of this property, and the Southern Land company was to sell the land according to the agreement between the first parties. The Southern Land company, as soon as it gained control of the property, began organizing colonfes of Swedes and located them on the land, where they Iaid out a town and partly built i€ up, and the cerrpany digposed of about 20,000 acres. Soon after Jerberger & Rylander had made theso deals they failed in business, and the Dime Savings bank of Chicago and Kountze Bros. of New York, to whom Jerberger & Rylander owed a large sum of money, gar- nisheed the Texas Land company. County Attorney-elect Baldridge brought the matter before Judge Ferguson yesterday afternoon and succeeded in getting an order issued restraining the Texas company from transferring the property in controversy, and service of the papers was made at a late hour last night. The Southern Land company brings this suit to collect $54,000, which it clatms is due it for commissions for the sale of lands, and also for the purpose of shutting off the creditors of Jerberger & Rylander. et g New Omaha ted Train, On and_after Sunday, November Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul ‘“electric lighted limited” will leave Omaha at 6 p. m., arriving in Chicago at 9 a. m.

H. Root the other day. “One dog is not more than a mouthful for a wolf and when there are too many for him he simply lights out and that is the end of him. Many of the people who have lots of money to spehd think that they would not like better fun than a wolf hunt, and some of them have bought expensive dogs to go wolf hunting, but usually after their first experience they have enough. Of course, when I talk of wolves, I mean the big gray wolves of the prairies. There was an English lord or nobleman of some kind who came out west to live. He thought that he would like some wolf hunting and for that purpose he imported Russian dogs. One of them was a fine beast. 1 think he paid $1,000 for him. The very first time that the dog made the acquaintance of a wolf he turned and ran away. It was the best thing for him £o do and he showed his common sense by doing it. The owner, however, was mad and he pulled out his revolver and shot the dog dead. It was all the same to the dog, because if he had ever met the wolf at close quarters he would have made just a mouth- ful. It is the same with any other kind of a dog, for I never yet heard of one that came out alive, or at’ least uninjured, when he struck a wolf. It fs pretty much the same with a coyote. The only dog that I ever heard of Kill'ng one of these animals was a cur that you would not look at twice, Dur- ing the course of his lifetime he managed to rid the world of two of these. He met his fate when he tackled a porcupine.” “But 1 once knew a_dog that was a corker,” continued Mr. Root. “He was a very fine animal and belonged to a_surveyor, The latter used to take him with him when he went on his expeditions. He was trained to do a lot of things and one of his duties was to awaken his master every morning at 6 o'clock. He would go to the bed and pull at his master's leg until he got him awake. Last summer the surveyor was camped out and as usual he had his dog with him. One night when the master was asleep in his tent and the dog was doing the same thing outside an owl alighted on a tree near by and began to hoot. He made so much noise that it disturbed the dog and he tried to scare it away by barking at it. He did this for along time, but it did-.no good. Finally the dog got mad and went into the tent and pulled at the leg of his master to vaken him. As soon as he saw that he was awake he ram over to where a rifle stood. He grabbed it in his teeth and dragged it over to his master. Yes, that was a pretty good dog.” a “I heard a_ pretty: good story about coach- ing and incidentally about Abraham Lincoln the other day, althongh I will not swear that it is true,” sald M. L. Tarbox at the Dellone Inst night. “When the committee walted upon Abraham Lineoln to notify him of his riomination to the presidency they found him with a gang of congenial spirits on a yacant lot engaged in a game of base ball. A very exciting game was going on and Lincoln was coaching his team:with his sleeves rolled up and his coat off. The chairman of the committee had ‘comsiderable difficulty in get- ting his ‘attention, but he fually sucapeded. When the:object ofitheir visit:was stated to him, -the only anewer. that' he -vouchsafed was: ‘The presidency’ be d—d: Run there, you skinflint,' as he hustled down to third base to coach & runner home:* Bdward G, Cooke, the advance representa- tive of the funny farce comedy. *A'Railroad Ticket,” which is at the new Emopire theater, was seated® with a party of friends at the Murray hotel last evening, telling stories, and when it .came Cooke's turn he said: ‘Some years ago a_comedian who has since gained prominence in the theatrical world attempted a starring tour in comic opera. The season was @ bad one, and #1l luck seemed to follow the organization wherever it journeyed: Ohio was reached, and proved a perfect succession of Waterloos; when the company struck Mansfield a howling snow storm was raging and the city was enveloped in about four feet of the beautiful. Of course the house was bad. Next morning it was found nec- essary to do some tall financiering in order that the company might reach Youngstown, where a full house had been promised. Rail- road fares were secured, but the comedian found himself without money to settle the hotel bills. A lengthy and very brilliant argument was given to the landlord, who was erccted in a perpendicular attitude on condi- tion that he should be taken with the com- pany to its next stand, and there receive his ‘stipend. ~ Youngstown was worse than Mansfield had been. Grippe had a dead grip on the town, and when the organization left the place for Lima it carried with it not only the landlord from Mansfield, but the boniface of Youngstown. Lima, the comedian told the hotel men, would be a corker, and it was. All the mills had closed down, and the town was more depressed than it had ever been. The result was that Lima added another hotel proprietor to the list carried by the company. Massillon was the mecca toward which all hands, or rather faces turned hope- ful eyes. But Massillon was but agother repetition of what they had met before, Massillor was experlencing a boom; ol had been struck just outside of the city, and all the mills and shops had been working over time, hence the populace could not get off to 80 (0 a show. This was the last straw that gave the camel the hump, It was getting ex- penzive cafrying hotel men around from town to fown, and, as the next stand was Warren and there was no other way of getting out of it, one more had to be added. The manager was frantic. He rughed to the star comedian and said: “This thing will have to stop. Here we have five hotel men on our list. None of them have enough money to get home, and in our straits we cannot afford to pay thelr raflroad fares, what shall we do? The comedian enveloped himself in plain thought for five minutes and then evolved a marvelous idea. Said he: ‘Discharge five men in_our chorus and leave them here. Call a rehearsal for the hotel men, try their voices and put them in the chorus in the place ot the ones we leave behind' The manager called a rehearsal, tried their voices and turned 1o the comedian very much perturbed of spirit. ‘I have given them a rehearsal,’ sald sadly, ‘and they have all got great volces, but.they wom't do.' ‘Why not? "Well, they all sing basa' The comedian's brow darkened, and once more he took recourse to thought. Then he sald: ‘Put them in the chorus, anyhow, and I'll go down to the tele- graph office and wire ahead to our advance agent to be sure and see that the proprietor of the next hotel we have to stop at sings teror.

Mr. | Stabaugh appeared in behalt of the state, and Mr. Elliott for the defendant. The latter was a little wandering in the scleetion of his language, and when he addressed the court in the reckless insinuation that he hoped that “his honor would lay aside all personal prejudice in the matter and dismiss the de- fendant,” the court fairly inflamed with dig- nity and cut Elliott off by atnouncing that the evidence was so plaln that Sherman would have to square himself in a higher tribunal, This is the case brought by Phillip Krause Krause is a store keeper in Albright. Just after closing his store one night he was assaulted and robbed. He fought with his assailant, and several shots were fired from pistols by both men. None of the bullets took effect. ~The Nighwayman grabbed a purse containing $16, but in the scuffle he lost it. The thug also lost his hat. The hat bad a bullet hole in it and was retained for evidence. It proved a strong point against Sherman, as several persons who were ac- customed to seeing him daily identified the hat as belonging to him. Another strong gainst him was the testimony of Mrs, Derr. She identified the beer can found close to the scene of the assault as being the same “growler” that Sherman had rushed about fifteen minutes before the rob- bery. John Mullen saw Sherman drink from the same bucket found near the Krause plat- form. Sherman was unable to give a bond last night.
