By & vote of four to twn the fsuth Omaha city council awarded the eieetric light con- tract to the Omaha FElectric Light and Power company for a period of five years, rejecting the hid of the 86uth Omaha Elec- tric Light and Power company, which of- fered to furnish lights at the rate of $70 per lamp for a perlod #f ten years. Two democratic and two republican mem- bers of the councll supported the report of the committee of the whole to award the contract to the former company in accord- ance with thefr bid. The affirmative voters were Dworak, Hoffman, Larson and Peterson. John Larsen and John'Hasburgh favored the South Omaha company, The arguments offered by the men who favored the Omaha company were that they favored a five-year confract and that In the contract offered, judsing from the established business of the present com- pany, the royalties pald in would. more than counterbalance the bid of the new company. John Larsen opposed the Omaha company #nd maintained that the saving to the peo- ple on commercial Hghting would make the contract of the new company much better without considering the public light eon- tract. John Hasburgh favored a readver- tisement of bids. A petition of 550 citizens was received on the subject asking that the city council favor the South Omaha compaiys, but It had no effect in changing the votes of the ¢ouncil. A franoMise ordinance was intro- duced also by each company, Incorporating the terms of thelr bids, but these were re- terred to the judiclary committee for later actlon. It Is considered out of the power of the people to protest or to ask that the contracts be eubmitted to & vote of the people. The tine of submitting such & pro- test Is explred with the final award and the matter up to the present time has been considered simply a contract and nat a franchise. The Omaha Electric Light and Power company claims to hold & franchise running yet for fifteen years. The decision of the ‘city council Is sure to arouse considerable feeling, but as each party was equally represented the feeling will have no- pdlitical wetght except upon the individual counciimen, Councllman John Hasburgh was incensed to the point of profanity at the determina. tion of the eouncil to ignore his scheme of readvertjsing. West L Wants Cars. The Northwest lmprovement club ' pre- sented a petition asking the city to use its influence with the Omaha & Councll Biuffs Street Rallway company to furnish accommodations to West L street. The obstacle at present in the way of an extension of the street car service is the poor condition of the I street via. duct, which will not support such traf- fie. The rallroads and the Unlon Stock yards have shown no disposition to recon- struct this viaduet. It is unknown that the city can at present force these com- panies to repalr or reconstruct the same. The structure has been congemned as un- | fe for heavy vehicles, but has not been closed as yet. The mayor appolpted Lar- sen, Peterson and Dworak a committee to wait on the Omaha & Council Bluffs Btreet Ratlway company to see what could e done toward granting this extension. Occupation Tax Ordina One of the important resolutions of the meeting was that the eity attorney be in- structed to Wraft an ordinance imposing an occupation tax on au public service corporations and defining the method of such an assessment. This is in accord with a recent decision of the supreme court of Nebrasks, aeclaring such action valid. It s not known whether this tax would in any affect the royaities paid un- der the charter, but it Is presumed not, since the ordinances canngt supercede the charter. Such a tax would simply be an additional burden to be assumed by the publie service corporations. Water Piping Franchise, A new franchise ordinance was intro- duced granting the right to Thomas Geary to lay plpes in the city streets for the purpose of conveylng the water of the South Omaha mineral springs to any point in the city. Such a franchise was Intro- duced before the former democratic counell over two years ago, when it was discov- ered that a prominent democrat of the city desired the franchise. The councll therefore refused the franchise and voted one to Dr. W. J. McCrann. The doctor has made no use of the privilege. There- fore the franchise has practically lapsed and 1s again introduced. The springs re- ferred to are located in Brown park. An ordinance was introduced to compel the Chicago, Rock Island & Paaific railroad to place a day and night flagman on the crossing at Twenty-fiftth and Madison streats, was introduced to compel the Union Pa- cific to locate A night flagman at the in- | tersection of Washington street with the right-of-way Mst Peterson introduced a resolution in- structing the city engineer to relocate Polk street, east of Thirteenth.

He incorporated in the notice that the Injury occurred two weeks ago, but he was himself present at the council meetin, The council passed a resolution ordering the purchase of & street sweeping machine to cost not exceeding $28.

The entertalnment was given at the high school audftorium and consisted of fiftcen or more musical and llterary numbers. These proved a success in every way. The urchins' quartet, an aggregation of newsboys, consisting of Anton and Karl Branstead, Hubert Mun- shaw and Ralph King, were among the Lest recelved of any. They were recalled several times. The Floradora sextet, con- sisting of three fat women and three lean men, got many eneores. The farce, “Why is a Freckle,” kep( the audience convulsed for an hour. The funds raired by the entertainment are to go to the organ fund of the church. The fund wil. have a sub- stantial addition.

Gilda Varesi Mrs. Mellen ..... rgaret Anderson Mrs. Phellen Marlon Swayne Jennta Corinne Ford Mamie Marion Davis The realism of “Salvation Nell" is terri- ble as truth itself. - it may be serlously Questioned if any good purpose (s served by showing such sordidness to those who know of it only by hearsay. That open- ing scene in Bid MeGovern's tough saloon has been repeated thousands of times— perhaps millions, and will be. It may be offered in support of its presentation at all that it 1s essentidl to the artistic sym- mefry of the story ‘as subsequently de- veloped. The argument is the redeeming power of love; “the mstery of love is greater than the mystery of death. and Nell Sanders clings to Jim Platt just as he does to her, because back of it all s that sometliing that ,subsists between a man and a woman that is beyond analysis, that defies reason, that baffies questioning. It is the something that leads the woman to give up all, everything on earth, un questioning and without reserve to the man, and that leads the man to come back and back again to claim his own. It fs not a new thought; It perme: everywhere, and whether the scoffer admits it or not, dally proof i given of its potency, and womankind and mankind are very much allke at the bottom. “The colonel's lady and Judy Brady are sisters under thelr skin,” and, by that same token, the colonel and Tommy Atkins are brothers when stripped of their uniforms., Admitting the potency of love; it led Nell Sanders down to scrubbing the floors at Sid McGovern's tough saloon—although Mrs. Fiske suggests rather than actually performs the mental labor ascribed to her It also 164 her to bodily fidel- ity to a man who was about as worthless a loafer as ever spent tfie price of a wom- an's seul for drink. And it redeemed them both; the woman turned to the shel- ter offered by the Salvation Army, for It was that or Madame Goquette's place, and she realized that soon she would be called on to pay in the pains of motherhood the price of her love. Perhaps it was some higher motive, but this is the apparent reason that turned hér to the means that wrought in her the change® which made Salvation Nell out of the scrub woman. And out of this grows the-conditions that bring home 'to Jif ‘Pt “fhe thought that he wants Nell more than ne wants any- thing else In the worM, and to get her he must give Gver his Ideas of life in any but honest ways, and ‘in this we see the apotheosis of human love, with a tinke of the saving grace of divine love. Yet all of this has been shown us at othcr times and in other ways, far more pleas- ent to behold than is this plcture from the lowest walks of life. These objections are not the outburst of prudery, nor do they spring from any hypo- critical pretense that such things Go not exist. The fact of their existence is only too well known, but many other things are known to exist that are not paraded on the stage. That the theater is no place for a clinic of any sort has been urged times before, and will be again—and, more's the pity, clinics will still be held on the stage. But what's the use of arguing this point hera? Mrs. Fiske has taken up the play definitely, and is giving it her serious at- tention. She fllumlnetes the character of Nell Sanders with the light of her genius for seeking out the soul-nature of whatever woman she strives to delineate, and the fidelity she brings to her portrayal of Leah of Mary, of Rebecca, of any of her many roles, she gives to thls. She shows Nell | Banders, a moul wallowing in the lowest of soclal morasses; nothing could well be below the pesition of scrub woman at a saloon like Si4 McGovern's, with the addi- tional degredation of being mistress to the apparently lowest loafer around the saloon, and she shows us the rise of that soul, till it stands triumphant, redeemed from the physical and moral squalor of its earlier surroundings and rejolcing In the approach of happiness that, would shut out the past. It is In its way a psychological study as earnest as that of Rebecca West, though not comparing with it ir importance. 'The woman of the Ibssn drama was a woman worth wkile, although she brought destruc- tion to herself ana her lover; Nell Sanders is also & woman worth while, and she bringe salvation to herself and to her lover. But just as Rebecca West typifies the intellectual, so Nell, SBanders stands for the physical; Rosmer was a weakling, and could not grasp hs nappiness, but Jim Platt galns strength from the woman he loves and does.. All these and many_kin- dred thoughts’ are suggested by Mrs. Fiske's bullding up of the part. Holbrook Blinn is a Jim Platt worthy of the Nell S8anders of the star. -It s not sure that he doas no: at thnes impress: idraseif more extensively on the picture than she does. It is perhaps the correct perspeotive that he should. He is the brute mun, with- out gloss or refinement. “She's me goil, an’ I means to have her,” is his argument It is not fine sense of chivairy that leads him to strike down Al McGovern; it is the brute instinct of possession, the assertion of property rights, and it s this that leads him to pursue her to the very engd, until that last tragic moment, when, humbied 1o spirit and contrife In heart, unable to say goodbye to the’ woman he loves, he stands before her and In broken words asks her to meet him after the meeting inside the barracks, and she rewards him by ask- ing him to stay, for she wants him to go home with her that night. It is a fine portrayal Mr. Blinn gives of the character in its moral progression and physical retro- gression. The great good natured, bullying bulk of & man who killed another with blows from his fist, comes home prison, broken in strength, full of bitte: resentment. and actuated by one desire- get his “girl" &nd flee from the un- triendly surroundings of hig youth. And she holds him here and overcomes his brute nature and leaves the {inal impression that he is about to enter on.a life of useful endeavor. The whole ia finely done. Another chapter might be written on the from ! work of the. ot ers in the large company Hope Latham's Myrtie Odell, Mary Madl son's “Hallelujah Maggle,"—one hesitate where to Atop in naming the characters that desefve Individual mention. And (h reallm of all the surroundings is such tha needs mo commendation. It s perfecti (0 the last shocking detail. In this at least the work of Mr. gnd Mra. Fiske has been done wigh a fidelify that has been if any thing tdo faithful. The diama ls impres sive, Lut the impression s not pleasant The Burwood was filled last nigit by such an audlence as only assembles there when Mre. Fiske s fn town. It was a thoroughly satisfied audlence that pald to the star and her company the merited tribute of continued applause, and yet such expressions as were heard after the fail of the last curtain were of a single tone Folks would much rather have seen her in something a trifle less somber. No Building for Manual Training, Says Harding Board of Education is Sorry, but Funds Will Not Stretch This Yea Prof. John. E.
