The Apollo club has sent out this week a
number of circulars announcing the beginning
of the seasons work, and soliciting subscrip-
tions for carrying on the work outlined for
the winter. The efforts of the Apollo club to
establish a permanent musical society in
Omaha, ought to be recognized and their re-
quest for subscriptions should be literally re-
sponded to.
Omaha is entirely behind the times in mat
ters musical. There ought to be permanent
chorus IN this city, which could give an an
nual oratorio festival, and during each sea-
son regular concerts. Omaha ought also to
have firstcass orchestra, but this will
never be accomplished unless our musically
inclined people are more liberal in helping
our musical societies.
The Apollo club has manully struggled
along for several years has given good con-
certs and its members have worked hard
without any reward, and expect to keep ON
working, in the hope that the cause Of music
may be given stronghold in this city.
This excellent organization ought to be gen
erously supported this year. 1t would be
most creditable to this city, if Omaha might
have a good reputation as city of both
music and art. and the more Of both which 1T

a Reallrish King.

''King, old follow, rm disappointed in you.
TO think that, after all I've done for ou, you
should go and be play actor"
With this parting shot the late owner Of
Helen Dauvray's big Irish setter turned dis
gustedly on his heel the other morning and
walked out of the stage door of the Standard
theater.
King had been brought there by his master
in response to Miss Dauvray's request, and
though the man was willing to sell the ami
NAL he did not have any idea that his old
friend would be called upon to act.
The sale was a conditional one and de-
pended on the dogs ability as delineatOr of
dog character The part assigned was one
that required dignity, au easy manner full of
repOse and perfect knowledge of all social
tobservanccs.
He was to be the trusted friend and even
he dvser of the lovely heroine in the most
important event of her lifc-the selection of a
husband.
Could he fill the bill! Could he do what a
number of other cannes, ambitious for his
trionic hOnOrs, had shown that they were ut
terly incapable of doing!
King, when he had gotten his cue, followed
Miss Dauvray down the broad staircase lead
ing into the heroines Doudoir, with the easy
grace of Chesterfield. All through the
scene which enSu6d the four1OOJed actor
played his part with Judgment and discre-
tiOn.
There was no straning for effect, no saw
ing Of the air, no playing to the gallery
here, King was too true an artist to be
guilty of any such cheap clap-trap methods
of gaining applause,
He just lay quietly looking up into Miss
Dauvray's face from the rug at her feet, and
when she gave him to understand that it was
his time to act he did so without any fuss or
nonsense, When the scene was over the
actress closed the bargain with the owner of
the canine prodigy, who became richer by
$500.
Now that he had crossed the boundary line
between private and public life, King, follow
ing in the footsteps Of some OF his two-legged
dramatic colleagues determined to celebrate
the event by getting himself talked about
and his name put in the newspapers. lie
disappeared suddenly from his quarters at
the Hotel Vendome.
King finally trotted out from his hiding
place and allowed himself to be led back to
his apartment He is already the idol of
'The Whirlwind'' company, and Sidney
senfeld, the author OF the play, said that
King is one of the few actors who do not
want to be always in the center of the stage

note in the carpenters strike to-day. The
strikers have pickots at all de-

they find men coming TO town TO work they
generally succeed in inducing them not TO
do so. The strike is costing the union over
SS5,0OO a week, but they say they are pre-
pared for an all-summoT siege. When their
money is exhausted they claim they will
fall back on the national council, behind
which is the federation Of labor. They
claim to be supported by every labor organ

is for the recognition of the union, and the
