"Aftcr Dark" at the Farnam.

"After Dark is one of the best bits of
work ever built by that prince of playwrights,
Dion Boucicault, and the company that is
presenting it all this week at the Farnam is
one of the best alround histrionic combina-
tions seenin Omaha this season. The play
has maintained popular appreciation for
many years and is likely to 60 on holding it,
The scenery at the Farnam is all that is
needed to adequately present the play. The
Silver gambling hell, the Thames and Lon
don by night the railroad tunnel are all eX-
cellent stage pictures, and when the heroine
is seen struggling IN the river, splashing the
real water all over the scene, the enthusiasm
of the spectators is invariably evoked.
Mr. Atkins Lawrence Is the Old Tom of
the cast. Mr.. Lawrence made an enyiable
reputation in heroic parts and now as char
acter actor he is proving himself as great an
artist. Throughout the five acts of After
Dark he presents Il consistent study of IA
drink-besotted man driven to the bowl by
misfortune. He never oVerdoos the part for
a moment, and is during every scene per-
fectlv effective. Mr.. Russell Bassett has IA
reputation as a comedian to maintain and
his Dicey Morris does it, The Richard
Knatchbull of Mr.. George c. Robinson is
SUFFICIENT. Mr.. Burr Caruth as Chumley is
too loud and somewhat eXpressionless Miss
Stella Rees is an emotional actress of recog-
nized ability and her work in After Dark
is of the highest quality. Miss Nellie Buck
ley mace hef ueDut as ltose yesterday and
did all that was required of her chamingly
The minor parts are all in capable hands. In
the fourth act, the Elysium Concert hal
| scene, very clever little boy, Master Hu
bert la MARITIME, is introduced and sings and
dances himself into the immediate favor OF
his audience and stays there. In the sam,
scene the Stewart sisters do a couple ol
duets in their own cyclonic manner, and Me
lntyre ana Heath are heard and seen ins ON,
excellent negro patter and good step dane
ing. AFTER Dark will beat the record a
the Farnam If it keeps anywhere near tn,
business of yesterday during the week
is certainly production to see.

OF thieving for long time past, IN ycstcr-
days developments count for anything.
When the account Of the arrest was seen
in the morning papers by f. w Spctman
and Messrs. Peterson and Schoeniug, who
keep stores on lower Main street, they at
once set about the task of connecting Linn
crick with coupw OF burglarics that took
place at their stores on the same night few
weeks ago. Limerick had been seen loafng
about the stores at about the time the burg
larics occurred. and as his reputation was
not of the best suspicion was directed
toward him. search warrant was sworn
out yesterday and several officers went to
his house in Sunnyside, at the head OF liar-
r'ison street, to make a search for any OF the
stolen goods that might be found there.
The search resulted in the finding of any
amount of property which, II 1t was not
stolen. could hardly have been purchased.
A lot Of children's clothing was found con
Cealed between the bed springs and mattress
in one of the rooms. Some brass plumbing
fixtures, tools and other articles of hardware
were found sccretcd III another part of the
house. Mr.. Peterson, however, was not
able to identify any OF the stuff as similar
articles are kept by every plumber and
hardware man in the city a start had
been made toward digging a hole IN the
wood shed. presumably for the purpose of
conCcaling some of the stolen property, but
it had been given. up on account of the
frozen condition of the earth
At the time of Limericks arrest he was
accompanied by his brother who made
desperate effort to get him away from the
officers, but without success The brother
himself, however, succeeded in getting
away, and is still at large. The police are
looking for him, and it is not likely he will
remain out of their clutches very long. I'm
mediately after the arrest officers went to
the house, hut decided not to make any
search of the premises when Mrs, Limerick
informed them that her two children were
lying at the point of death. Yesterday
afternoon the sick ones had so far recovered
as to be able to 20 ont hunting and the
officers have a suspicion that they were
made the victims of hoax.
