FUNCTIONS OF THE WEEK Bhannon and Poppleton Wedding Divides Honora with the Brooks Reception, PROSPECTS RATHER GLOOMY FOR €CC Protty Lawn Party In Koantze Ulace~iro- prietor Murkel Gives a Swell Dinner for is e S M. H. Clark—Chat of Menund Women Why Are Known. * Two events stand out most prominently for the dull background of last week's social _doings, the Shannon and Poppleton wedding and the reception to General and Mrs Brooke. About 100 guests were in attendance on the Poppleton wedding, which oceurred Wednesday at 2 o'clock, these guests being received by Mr. and Mrs, W. S. Poppleton. At 2 o'clock the wedding music of “‘Lohen- grin” was sung by the quartet of Trinity cathedral and the wedding party advanced into the north parlor, where they were met by Dean Gardner, who performed the ceremony. Two little daughters of Judge and Mrs, Fer- guson, In the daintiest of pink and white chiffon frocks, advanced with the ribbons making the aisle for the bridal procession, which was in the following order: Mr. and Mrs. Poppleton, followed by Mr. and Mrs Learned, Lieutenant L. W. V. Kennon, best man, and Miss Sears, cousin of the bride and maid of honor. The bride and groom entered the parlor together, followed by Mr. and Mrs W. 8. Poppleton. The room in which the cer- emony was performed was a bower of snow- balls and lilies of the valley, and the mantel in front of which the service was read was banked with palms and maiden-hair fern. A wedding breakfast followed. The bride's guwn was of a most delicate French gray satin entirely red with striped chiffon and the bodice trimmed with a bertha of beautiful point lace. Her bouquet was an immense cluster of lilies of the valley. Miss Scars, the mald of honor, was a dainty picture in white organdy, trimmed with ruffles and lace Insertions. Dr. and Mrs. Shannon left for the east at 6 o'clock of the same evening, and er a short visit in Boston sall Wednesday for Liverpool. On their return they will take station at Fort Custer. The reception to General and Mrs John R. Brooke Friday evening at the Omaha club was a fitting finale to a residence of seven years in this city, General Brooke tak: ing up his official life as the head of the Department of the Platte May 5, 1888. In these years he has hecome almost a ecitizen of the city and his feeling response to the well rounded specch of Senator Manderson showed how thoroughly he appreciated the warm words of friendship and good fellowship which he heard on all sides. It was a re- ception thoroughly delightful in its infor- mality and gave the lic to the oft heard remark that Omaha citizens are proverbially cold. They warmed up Friday night to a large extent and gave the late departmental sommander the jolliest sort of a send-off. In Honor Ballrond Man. ‘The beautiful new private banquet room recently arranged on the second floor of the Millard for small parties of diners who wish a luxurious and secluded dining room, was first used Monday night for a dinner given by Jacob B.

Three different times during the present season upwards of a dozen of the best violin- 1sts of the Boston Symphony orchestra, which includes such artists as Franz Kneizel, Adam- awskland Leffler, would take the train from Boston and go to New York, the evenings they did not play themselves, to hear Ysaye In different great sitions which were played by him during his engagement in the latter city. This is a compifment which no other forelgn artist has cver recelved in this city. When Ysaye first went to Chicago and played there with the assistance of Theodore Thomas and his grand orchastra it is eald that the great director, going to Ysaye and his managers after Ysaye had finished his first plece, sald: “I have heard all the violin Ists In the world, but today is the firat time I have ever heard the violtn,” Anton Seidl, the great Wagnerian conductor, who is also the conductor of the New York Philharmonie society, after Ysaye had made his debut in New York, said: I cannot conduet for that man; he is beyond me. I step down from my platform, yielding my ptace to him.” To prove that Seidl was sincers, he engaged Ysaye as soloist for four concerts of five given by the Seidl soclety In Brooklyn, N.

Gellenbeck onipanist, Phillp Hale writes interesungly in the Boston Journal as follows: ““There will al- ways be dispute concerning the readings of a_conductor, whether his name be Mottl, Weingartner, Lamoreaux, Paur or Thomas. Such dispute is inevitable. It is good for the musical public. It is good for the con- ductor. All this, provided, of course, that the discussion be fair and conducted with intelligence. Perhaps Mr. Paur is inclined a little too much toward conservatism and yet he has led works of romantie school with freedom, if not with heaven-illuminat- ing brilliancy. He very seldom errs hope- lessly in the choice of a tempo, and his treament of the detail Is not often so pe- dantic or finicky that the effect of the whole Is frittered away. Mr. Paur is not a revolutionaire. He is not even a ‘brill- jant’ conductor. He is an carnest, sincere, industrious man, who believes that he has a duty to perform, according to the best of his ability. A good musician, an excellent drillmaster, he performs his duties in sim- ple, modest, manly manner. It is a marked tribute to lus worth that the organization, which is an honor to the city, is now known as the Boston Symphony orchestra, not ‘Paur’s orchestra.’ " Mrs. J. W. Cotton has resigned her posi- tioin with the cathedral choir until next fall, ‘The announcement that Timothee Ada- mowskl has resigned his position in the Bos- ton Symphony orchestra is not at all sur- prising in view of the recent statement that he was to conduct the orchestra with Mme. Melba’s concert company next season. The Boston Journal bewalls the condition of a falrs in the following remarkable terms: “Will the Friday public rehearsals be abandoned next season. Will they draw in the absence of the loadstone? There fis no use in trying to disguise the fact that the rehearsal girl did not palpitate on a count of the music or the skill shown by Mr. Paur; she moved by the sight of Mr. Adamowskl. And Wwho can take his place—as lodestone, not a violinist? Mr. Knelsel 1s too much occupied with his music. Mr. Loeffler is thinking of new effects In instrumentation. And there are in fact no professional beauties among the violinists, first or second. “‘Hansel und Gretel,” which the Carl Rosa company first intrdduced to London, h been transferred to the Savoy, where it w performed for thie ‘hundredth time on April 18.

The cast re- mains the same 's$ on boxing night. A New York papef, speaking of the clos- ing night of the Abbey Grau opera season in New York, $8¥3 the night was marked by an incident Whith is full of significance, and that was the Presentation of a great basket of roses''and a diamond-studded watch to Mlle. Bagermelster. The lesson of that scene, wmr?‘t}tg little woman, shaken with emotion, #tbot” In the center of the stage and recelved 'ffom the great audience her managers,s antl the world's mast singers such a tgibule of applause as rarely greets an artist, qught not to be lost on those earnest, consclentious, hard-working artists who do not strive to replace talent by wire pulling, Mfluence and newspaper notoriety, Mlle, Bauermelster has little volce and absolutely no talent. Her qualifi- cations for her profession are a knowledge of the art of singing an_experience of something like thirty years. She never wa: she never will be, anything but a compri- marla. But in all her career she has never tried to bamboozle the public. She has been content to let her honest endeavor, her study, her trustworthiness, her fidelity to her own limitations speak for themsslves. For years there has been a feeling that in this modest, secondary personage there was a character to be respected. That feeling came to a focus when the members of the Vaudeville club, with a manly spirit th commands respect, decided that they, regular patrons of the opera, would show that they knew a conscientious artist when they saw one. The keynote which they struck set the overtones of human sympathy vibrating among the audience, and, behold, Dauermelster in the center of the stag with the De Reszkes, Eames, and the res In the background, and the house ringlog with cheers. And for once all the men and women In the house were absolutely sure that they had applauded at the right time. “My First Dance” is the title of a new ballad by Lester RBodine and E. H. Packard composers of “Little Queen I ‘The sentiment of the song is founded on the mem. orfes of the first dance, awakened by sight of an old program which had been eaved for years and chorished as a eouvenir of that event. A heart story is told in the verses and the waltz chorus is descriptive of ball room pleasures, “My First Dance’ will be Introduced at the Elks minstrels tomorrow night. The Church and Home, Rev. T.

May they find a happy home and pleasant surroundings in Minneapolis.” —_—— AT THE THEATERS, Conclusive evidenca of the waning of the season s to be found in the vast number of negotlations that are pending, says the New York Times. Every mall brings new Intelligence of these to a newspaper office. When the apple blossoms begin to appear, and the dogwod puts forth its flowers, negotal- tions pend and pend until the tired chronicler of theatrical doings yearns for a new sphere Where pending is unknown. A new play is produced in a remote agricultural center, and information of the event is duly sent to the newspapers, coupled with the announcement that “negotiations are pending” for its pro- duction in New York, at a Broadway theater, with a view to a long run. An actress, hith- erto unheard of, appears briefly some- whora in the oil regions, and the fact that “‘negotiations are pending” for her early ap- pearance in New York under the manage- ment of Mr. Daly or Mr. Mansfleld or Mr. Danicl Frohman is heralded far and wide. A gentleman just out of school makes his debut in the character of Hamlet, and “ne- gotlations are pending’ for a starring tour which will enable him to take his place as the successor to Edwin Booth. ‘Negotiations are pending” for the removal of all the church cholr singers in the Western Reserve thence to the opera troupes of Messrs. Abbey, Schoeffel & Grau. “Negotiations are pend- ing” for comle cperas to be composed by Mr. Reginald de Koven for all the young ladies in the fruit canning factories of Orleans county, and for emotional plays by Mr. Au- gustus Thomas for all the recently divorced wives in the United States and Canada. The trouble with all these negotiations s (hat the¥ only pend. Like les pendus in Banville's ballad, wind and weather may wither and disfigure them, but they suffer no relative change. They just hang. Without exception one of the biggest and best musical farce comedies will be seen at Boyd's theater next week on Wednesday and Thursday evening, with matinee Thurs- day, it reliance is to be placed in the re- poris that come from New York regarding the brightness and attractiveness of Mrs. Musgrave's latest farce comedy “Our Flat,” which is now being played at the Strand theater, London, where it made a_previous record of 780 consecutive nights. The story of the play runs as follows: Two young people fall in love and marry each other, without the consent of the girl's father, who of course refuses his blessing, likewise his pocketbook. Nevertheless, they com- mence housekezping In very good style on the top floor of a flat house, but get into horrible debt in trying to keep up appearances. The husband, a writer of tragedies, finds it im- possible to get a play accepted, when the young wife attempts something in the play- writing line herself, but very wisely sticks to “‘comedy.” She writgs a play which Is accepted and produced at a leading theater by a most successful manager. The manager is expected to call at the flat in regard to the play, when the furniture people, who have 1ot received thelr payment, suddenly appear and remove everything. Nothing daunted, the wife improvises some very handsome turniture out of empty boxes and kitchen utensils with the aid of a few remaining draperies and curtains, and has her home the picture of prosperity when the great man in announced. The situations are grotesque and amusing to the last degree. It is a great race of fun from beginning to end. The company which appears in the play is admitted by all to be one of the strongest comedy organizations ever formed in the country. There is not an individual in the cast who has not been warmly praised by metropolitan critics and most of them have made a distinguished success—notably Emily Bancker, who has won renown throughout the United States as a beautiful weman and an accomplished and finished actress, She was here the first season as the bright star of “Gloriana.” Others well known in the cast are: Mr. Tom Ricketts, P. H. Ryley, George W. Parsons, W. H Wallis, Marion Van Courtland, Lee Jarvis, Vesto Verna. There will be some strong up one side and down the other—hoppity~ b kip and a jump.

Fun in black face will be the attraction at Boyd's tomorrow evening, upon which occa- slon the Omaha Elks minstrels gill give their annual performanca for the benefit of their charity fund. The BIKks in this respect jmprove each yoar, and it is said upon good authority that™ the program to be presented tomorrow evening is the best one of them all, containing many bright specialties, ten end men, a pumber of new songs, several parodies from the prolific pen of I W. Miner, jokes without vegetation and a good climax entitled “The Wedding of Sarah Jane" Of course Trilby will be there, in burnt cork. and will make a flying trip from the foot- lights to the gallery—a sort of hypnotic hop of a startling nature. The Elk quartet, com- posed of Messrs. Barton, McCune, Van Kuran and Treat, have several numbers in a_vocal ay. The soloists will be A. J. Van Kuran, | Charlie Potter, H. R. Vandec . W Shields, Jo Barten, W. S. McCune, Lillian Snslie, H, Hasselbarth and Tom Hodder. Spud Farrish will make his debut as “Mamma's Baby Boy.” Among the songs to be intro- duced will be the new sentimental ballad of “My Pirst Dance,” composed by Bodine and Packard, “Cervus Alces,” by Miner and Kelly, is another vocal feature. Thomas J Kelly will be musical director and J. Edgar Owens will officiate as interlocutor.

The announcement of the coming of John Philip Sousa and his peerless concert band of fitty eminent musicians to Boyd's theater Tuesday evening for one concert Is tanta- mount to the declaration that the enthusiasm of all music lovers in this city has been aroused, and that a splendid welcome awaits the magnetic conductor and his forces. Sousa is now covering a tour, which, in brilllancy of result and success, promises to far ex- ceed his triumps of his last season. The merits of the organization or the talents of the peerless Sousa himself need no enlarging upon in these columns. Simply enough to say that the organization, which has now arrived at the standard designed by its creater, David Blakely, is playing mn superb form, recelving the enthusiastic plaudit of critic and public, in a manner which sets at rest all doubt of Its superior greatness. As for Sousa, success has not meant cessation of effort. The great conductor and his men, nerved to greater ambition by their good fortune, are working harder than ever to surpass even thelr own rccords, and the re- sult is that the thousands who have heard the band on its last tour, when its playing was even then perfection, will be astonished at the magnificence of tone, color, the splendor of effect and the glorious ensemble of its work. There is yet further cause for the musical public to congratulate itself upon the coming Sousa concert, and that is the appearance of two artists of superfor talents with the band, in the persons of Miss Marie Barnard, soprano, and Miss Currio Duke, violinist. Miss Barnard brings the combina- tion of a splendid voice and irreproachable method, with a fine stage presence, and Miss Duke is all that the most enthusiastic can claim for her. Under her magic, the violin becomes almost a living instrument, and her graclous beauty is a fine addition to her natural advantages, To these great at- tractions of Sousa, his band and his soloists, the addition of a simply perfect program is promised. There will be music for the classicist and for the lover of plain and sim- ple melody. Every taste will be satisfied, and be it remembered that there is no mu- sical fatigue, but a refreshing scnse of com- plete satisfaction at the close of the concerts. Clnt of the Stage. A cloud, no bigger than a man's hand, which has appeared in the dramatic horizon would seem to indicate that the epidemic so prevalent in the United is about to strike these shores in at its dramatic form. Mr. about to submit to Mr. approval a synopsis by Mr. Hurst of an adaptation of the successful book, and mean- while Mr. Beerbohm Tree, who arrived at Southampton last night in the American line steamer Paris, has In his possession Paul Potter's dramatized version of the book, which has filled every theater to its capacity where presented in America, says the London Stage. Whoever secures the prize, there is not a shadow of a doubt that the one and only actor for the part of Svengali is Mr, Beer- bohm Tree. It was so suggested in these columns some months ago by our American correspondent, and it is difficult to under- stand how Mr. Beerbohm Tree has allowed 80 much time to clapse in securing a part which might have been speclally written for him, so suited is it to him. Manager David Henderson is very em- phatic in his desire to dissipate the idea of his ever having contemplated remaining per- manently in New York. Offers of an advan- tageous character for three theaters have been made, but to use Mr. Henderson's own words: “There is more money in the west least William Terriss s Du Maurier for his high class musical numbers introduced, hand- | and the audiences are more discriminating some scenery and effective costumes. and moro appreciative of meritorious things.” “A Country Sport,” the farce-comedy | Mrs. Ella Hugh Wood and Miss Mary which serves to introduce Peter F. Dailey as | a star, is underlined for Suniay, Monday and | Tuesday of next week, and lovers of rattling fun and captivating music will no doubt re- joice thereat. Mr. Dailey is described as an original comedlan, and with this single virtue he would prove a welcome visitor, but he is also a favorite creator of the things which make people laugh and has long held a high position in the realm of comedy. In “A Country Sport” Peter is given the widest | scope for the display of his peculiar talen: and varied capabilities. In the company which surrounds the new star are founi some very familtar and popular names. First should perhaps be mentioned jolly May Ir- win, than whoin no more genuinely humorous comedienne has been seen In farce comedy. The well known delineator of Irish character, John G. Sparks, so long prominent in the Harrigan company, and Andrew Mack, the favorite young tenor and composer of songs, are noted on the bill, as well as Miss Ada Lewis, Harrigan's famous “tough girl."” There are score of other merry-makers, and no doubt “A Country Sport” will prove a source of rare enjoyment, “The Passing Show,” Canary & Lederer's up-to-date burlesque on things theatrical, will be the attraction at Boyd's theater on May 22 and 23. The piece is more or less of a musical farcical vaudeville entertainment, and has just sufficient coherency to allow cer- tain interesting expectations. The libretto s bright and witty, the sceory is excellent, the music is either melodious or popular, thereby being agreeable on both scores, and the com- pany is splendid. With such bright lights of John E. Henshaw, orge A. Schiller, William Cameron, Gus Pixley, Vernona Jarbeau and Lucy Daly, such flowers of beautydom as Madge Lessing, Minnie Miller and Lida Lear, one would be indeed chatroperous not to find plenty of en- tertainment. the humorius stage a An appreciative editor of a paper in an Illinols town thus criticises the playing of Remenyi, who is to be at Association hall next Tuesday night: “When it gets right down to & question of what's what, this man Remenyl can out-fiddle any man in Adams county, barring no man, black or white.
