The city council met last evening with all
the members present except Alderman Ev-
erett with Mayor Macrac in the chair.
The first part of the evening was devoted
to reading and allowing bills, among which
were the following City officers, S6S7;
special clerks in city Offices sl9O; marshals
department, S25l.70; fire department, 81 $3.50;
electric light company, ST. ,0l5.
The bill of the police department was the
first to meet with decided opposition. 1t was
for 81 ,547. .46. Alderman Smith of the police
commission said he had not signed the bill
because, according TO his arithmetic, thirteen
patrolmen at SO ought TO amount to 500.
Some discussion over the police force was
then indulged in, some of the aldermen think
ing that the force was furnishing too many
men with jobs. Finally the bill was allowed
as claimed
The engineers bill also caused some discus
sion. Wind said he heard that man in the
engineers department had been drunk most
of the time during last month, and he would
like to know whether the report was true.
The bill was laid on the table until an inves-
tigatiOn could be made.
+, w. Loomis presented the bill for the
advertisement which was inserted in the
Illustrated West Alderman Wood ex-
planned the bill. He stated that a contract
West company by which the city was to have
q pun several pages long and TO take 5000
copies for di tcibuJion, for which the city
was to pay $3.50. Some of the aldermen
kicked, saying that the part of the con-
tract referring to the distribution
of the 800 copies had not been full
filled. Mr., }. j. Steadman stated in
behalf of the company, that he had left the
500 copies with the business men, and that IL
they had not been distributed it was not his
fault. The bin was finally allowed, and a
warrant ordered drawn for the amount, pro-
vided proof should be furnished that the
company had fulfilled its part of the con-
| tract.
John T. Stewart entered n protest against
the payment of the bill for sidewalk in
| front of his property. The protest was re-
ferred TO the committee on streets and alleys.
A petition was filed by the officers CT the
! Women's Christian association asking that
| their property be exempt from taxation sc
| long as 1t is used for hospital purposes. Al

. mitted for 1891, and that the question Of their

AMISENESI'S.

Any.new play by the author Of one which
has met with great success runs risk of not
being fully appreciated by comparison with
what has already become a favorite. 1t is
safe to say that the ''All the Comforts of
Home" which was last night presented at
the Boyd tor the first time in the city, was
pleasant surprise to all who had been
amused by that other clever play of
William Gillette's, "The Private Secre
tary.n If there is any choice be-
tween the two plays it must be
said that "All the Comforts of Hcme" is the
better. In this the interest is main tanned
throughout. There are no strcaks or spasms
of comedy. 1t full of climaXes of ludi-
crous character and the numerous funny sit
uations produce perfect epidemic Of merri-
ment That is due to the skilliul manner in
which the comedy is constructed. But with
out competent company of players the
clevcrness of the author would not be shown
to advantage. That Charles Frohman's COM
pany last night Interpreted the play IN the
spirit in which it was written
there can be no question. All the
actors seemed to get as much fun out of the
peculiar complications as the big audience
which packed the house and was in roar of
laughter that was almost continuous from
| beginning to end.
| Some of the players are old favorites here,
| like Henry Miller, who is always good He
| and Samuel Edwards had the lions share of
| the work to do and their efforts were highly
| appreciated Miss Marie Greenwald, who
| had one of the serious roles, made a decided
| hit and in a love making scene was a charm
ing ingenuc. The plot, though simple one,
! is a new concet on the stage and its effect
| is heightened by its naturaness and proba-
biity as an experience in real life From a
practical standpoint and judged by results
| there are no weak points in the play and
| there certainly was nothing lacking last
night in the acting. The absence of anything
approaching horse-play Is pleasant innova-
| tion in n comedy drama and in "All the Com
iorts of Home" the fun Is of wholesome kind
| One of the pleasing features Of the en- ntortain-
ment was the entire act programme rendered
| by Mr.. Salisbury and his orchestra The
descriptive fantasia "Gipsy Life is one OF
those musical compositions that relies upon
the imagination and combining good musical
construction without the usual rattle-traI
auxiliaries generally used in descriptive
pieces. The popularity of Mr.. Salisbury's
| orchestra IS not confined to Omaha alone, as
they are engaged for their second season a
the Grand hotel, Mackinac Island, Mich, thu
| coming summer and it is safe to predict they
will repeat the success they attained las
| summer.
