The junior senator trom Utah will be one of the few senators from a state west of the Missouri to be a native of the sta which he represents. He was bora in Utah 1071862, the son of Abrabam O. Smoot, who entered the territory at the head of a sec- ond company of Mormon immigrants to cross the plains from Coumeil Blufts {n the year 1847. In appearance Mr. Smoot is youthtul. Somewhat over six feet‘tall, he is slender and lithe. His rathor small- sized head is well set on a slender meck, and he has acquired a habit of stooping, because of his superior stature. He seem 1o, be one of the successful men of the west for ‘manutacturer, merchant, bankery politiclan and one of the twelv aposties ' of the Mormon church hq has never met faflure, and trom his decided tone when talking of the expe rience he expects at Washington he does ot belleve that he will score a failure for the first time at the national capital. While he greets the interviewer in a friendly spirlt and says, “I never repulse a report: er,” yet he does mot volunteer informatica and replies briefly and positively to ques tions.

"The Z. C. M. 1. has among its boar: of directors a number of gentiles, and thes: companies are stock companies in the samg sense that such companies are organize® in any setate.

I have been in Omaha fres quently, but have no acquaintance here. “Much talk has been made of the fact that I am an apostle in the church. Well, under the peculiar organization of the church nearly every respectable member has some priestly office. There are many grades and the apostleship is one. There are twelve of these aposties, and while the church is ruled by what is practically a democracy, the twelve are loaked upon as a class apart in a sepse. At the sameo time every man devotes his time to secular matters to & large extent. I bave been a buginess man all my life and am now in- terested in banks and other Institutions. As an apostle L have never drawn any money from the church, and the position carries with it po partioular prestige in any walk of life outside of the church or- ganisation proper.” _Reyerting agaln to the business condi- tions In Utah, Benator Smoot said: “We manufacture almost everything jn that state, and right now we are turaing our attention to sugar beets, which is to be one of the principal crops of the west. The soll seems to be pecullarly adapted to the gro’ of beets and the people alive to the possibilities of the busines: Mr. Smoot is interested in the manufac- ture of beet sugar in Idaho as well as Utah, and one of the first questions he asked of & friend who had been in Salt Lake since ho left wab as to what the Idabo legislature had done in regard to the proposed bounty o beet sugar. The senator left at 5:20 over the Northwestern for the east. Home Queen Circle Dances.

Faulkner ge Larrabes erese Mrs. Smeedley Having known of the gentleman for a number of years, his reputation and the renown of his really remarkable feats of deductive reasoning having preceded him even this far from Bow street, Omaha people turmed out in goodly numbers last night to meet Mr. Sherlock Holmes in his own proper person. Not only did they have the pleasure of seeing and hearing the man whose fame has eclipsed the names of all thiettakers from Hawkshaw to Old Sleuth, not to mention one or two whose 1ight has illumined some of the dark cor- ners of local underlife, but also had the pleasure of seelng him take a couple of “shots” at himself with a “dope gun,” and pull off tho arrest of the only criminal whose trail had baffled him for a longer time than that consumed in a journey from his comfortable quarters in Baker street to the police headquarters. But Protessor Moriarty was taken, and his gang broken up, and the whole transaction was achieved with such neatness and reason- able dispatch as to ullcit the most en- thuslastic approval from the persons who had assembled to witness the performance Sherlock Holmes {s hardly an ideal hero, ut Mr. Gillette, by his intelligent con. eption of the Conan Doyle creation, en- ows It with an interest it does mot in- ftrinstcally possess, and glves such a fasci- pation to his progress that the auditor— 1d spectator as well—walts as eagerly r the Inevitable end as ever did a boy }ing breathlessly to his “penny dreadful” ker “‘shilling shocker” in anticipation of the {'nouement that never varled. Mr. Gil- fotte has broadened in his art. It is a (ng step from “Too Much Johuson” to “Secret Service,” and an immensely longer 1ie from “Secret Service” to “Bherlock Jolmes.” That he has negotiated the dis- #ince and apparently well fn hand, as the Jicing men say, is an excellent earnest of 11s ability to do safely the greater things aspires to. Mr. Gillette might easily ¥ ake his Sherlock Holmes a bully de- tictive, a genuine hero for “below stairs,” tit he doesn't. He makes him just what 'r. Doyle did, rational, human, and even timane, and most attractive in his reason- tileness. Not a single incident in his 1 rilling career s marked by a discovery fiat an ordinarily acute observer would 1>t have made, nor an action that a com- ponly cautious person would not have fiken. ~But the whole 1s so perfect in tonception and delineation that the result fhallenges the highest admiration. And £aly admiration was expressed by the very fishionable audience which filled the Boya fheater last evening. Miss Ida Conquest, who is well remem. bered here for her work with John Drew in “The Tyranny of Tears, and .who later had the role of Lady Mary in Mr. Man Aeld's “‘Beaueaire,” succeeding Mies Mol- Mson, is Mr. Gillette’s heroine. She isn't on the stage a great deal, but her little time }s so taken up as to give her an ex. cellent opportunity to show her talent as an actress. She submits to considerable maltreatment during her first two appea ances, but in the third, and fidal, ehe is allowed to gain sweet recompense for all her troubles, by doing a very noble deed and then disappearing from view locked In the arms of the man she loves. Her clev- is admitted. So must be the art of Cortelyou, who has the really difficult role of the female criminal, Mr. Percy gives a good idea of the British professional mga in comfortable circumstances, a phys| clan who can afford to have his callers directed to a rival practitioner while he busies himself in the affairs of wo ama- teur thief-taker. Grifith Evans, Ralph Del- more and Quinton McPherson mot only act but look the parts they have to assume, and Harry MeArdle, as Billy, the de- tective's astute “buttons,” certainly made a hit with the gallery. The entire cast is worthy of the star, and the setting of the plece is most appropriate, while its action is made well nigh perfect under ‘the skillful stage direction of Mr. Willlam Postance. In passing it may not be out of place to reter to one feature of the affair which is Mr. Gillette's own idea. That is the ralsing and lowering of the curtain in ab- solute darkness. How much this enbances the artistic effect of the stage picture can hardly be told. It must be seen to be fully understood. It is far from being the least pleasant feature of the performance. ‘Sherlock Holmes" will be given again this evening and at a matinee and evening performance on Saturday. High School Athletie Association. The Athletlc assoclation of the high school held a meeting Friday afternoon for the purpose of electing officers uad ar- ranging for the coming basket ball game with Lincoln High school.

Mr. Sexton will leave within a day or two. On his way west President Hickey will stop oft in Chicago to confer with Mr. Len- non of St. Paul regarding the proposed new American association team in Chicago. In discussing the new Chicago team after the meeting Mr. Hickey said I am ‘unable to say what will be done. There was to have been a confeience in Chicago on the day I left for this meeting. The whole matter is practically left to Mr. Lennon of St. Paul, whose club it is proposed to move to Chicago. A draft of the proposed new national agreement was carefully gone over by the board today. It was finally decided that the National assoclation would stand by a resolution adopted at the last annual meet- ing as follows: Resolved, That In the event of a joint in- vitation being extended the National as- sociation at any future time, to confer with the board of directors of the Ameri- can league and the National league in the interest of a tripartite agreement, the na- tional board of the Natlonal Assoclation of Professional Baseball leagiies Shall pre- serve to the assoclation its present form of government and its individual organiza- tion supreme and intact.
