M|DWEEK TREATER NOTES.
Miss Craven Takes the Part OF
Dora at the COlum bia
Theater.
Is Well Acted at the Tivoli.
Pretty Dancing at the
AlCazar.

The touch needed to make the perform
ance of Diplomacy" at the Columbia
Theater, thoroughly effective one, was
given last night, when Miss Margaret Cra-
ven assumed the part OF Dora. The play
is one that circles round this young
woman; her guilt or innocence is the
pivot upon which everything hinges, and
to have g Dora who is totally inadequate
to the part, as Miss Clayton was, goes
long way toward destroying the interest of
the play.
Miss Craven's girlish and effective rendering
of Dora leaves little to be desired, Miss Cogh-
lan's magnificent gowns continue to dazzle the
eyes of the spectators, and the men of the cast,
as before noted, are excellent, and contribute
largely toward making the performance of
Diplomacy an unusually strong one.
At the Columbia Theater, from the I'd to the
4th of October, all tickets bought at Sherman
q Claws or from members of the board of
managers of the Nursery for Homeless Children
will carry q percentage to the funds of the
nursery. The play running will be "The
Magistrate"
Pauline Hall and her company are still draw
ing good houses at the Baldwin Theater. The
engagement closes Sunday night and at the
Saturday matinee souvenir portraits of Miss
Hall will be presented TO the audience.
There is every indication that the perform
ance of 'sTrilby," which opens Monday night,
will be one of the most memorable events of
the season.
Milton Mobiles drama Glove and Law" is
well produced at the Grand this week. The
author takes the part of benevolent lawyer
who espouses an ill-used girl, probably on a
contingent and keeps the fun going all
through the drama. He and his partner cir
cumvent the villain in fine style and discover
that he has no right to his money or his wife
either which is convenient, as his wife wants
to marry some one else. The staging and
accessories, as usual at the Grand, are excel
lent
"Chip o. the Old Block" has all its amusing
absurdity well brought out at the Alcazar this
week. and the melodramatic thread that runs
through it is made the most of, specially by
Miss Fanny Warren as Francesca, who acts
with force and feeling. Her singing, though 1t
meets with encores, can scarcely be so highly
commended.
One of the cleverest specfalties of the present
production is the dancing of the children in
the first act. Verita, a young girl who trips
the light fantastic with a tambourine is ex-
ceptionally graceful and spirited. 1t is always
a pleasure to watch little Nina Cook, and Daisy
Geogan gives clever performance of the
sailors hornpipe.
"Ernani' is the best production which the
Tiyoh has given in its grand opera

Haines and Pettigill are showing Orpheum

like, and the spirited manner in which they

thies of the audience. All the other numbers

magnificent wholesale bicycle establish
ment of o. S. Potter & Co., at No. 511 Mar

There are bicycles and bicycles, but
some, as with other lines of business, have
taken the lead. o. S. Potter & Co. have
been fortunate enough to secure several
very popular wheels, being Pacific Coast
agents for the Halliday, Sylph, Overland,
Pacific and the Wolff bicycles. OF the lat

com bines many new and novel features
not heretofore seen on this coast.

mony to commemorate the day at the

It would freShen the interest Of the
new generations in this the Oldest, most

CATCHING AN ELEPHANT.
An Old Circus Man Gets Rernin-
iScent

The old circus man was in remin-
iscent mood, and when he began to
talk about the good old wagon show
days an interested crowd gathered
around to listen:
80 the Ringing Brothers are going
to show here next Tuesday," he said
musingly. well, well, how things do
change. l can remember when Ring
ling Brothers circus was little over
land affair, and the entire outfit was
not worth $500. Nowadays l expect
their daily expenses are ten times that,
and they own and operate four long
railroad trains. 1t only shows what
push and good business management
can 60.
THE way Ringing Brothers got
their first elephant was funny. One
day while they were showing in lit
tie town in southwest Missouri, a tele-
gram was handed 10 al Ringing
1t was from the mayor of a neigh
boring town, and it informed the man
ayers that they could have an elephant
if they would send after it immedi-
diately. An offer like that doesn't
come to q circus man every Gay. and
they jumped at it. A couple of the
brothers went over to get the elephant
''They found the big brute at large,
running amuck. and the whole town
in panic. A small show had strand
ed In the town several weeks before,
and the authorities had seized the ele-
plant for the license.
For a while the elephant behaved
pretty. well. Then it got a tantrum.
1t broke out of the shed where it was
kept, nearly killed a hostler and ran
trumpeting UP and down the main
street, breaking windows, demolish-
ing awnings and soaring children into
fits.
Business was practically suspend
ed, women We're afraid to go shopping
and the schools were in a state of de-
moralization. In his desperation the
mayor wired to the Ringing Brothers.
50 If you can catch that elephant YOU
can have it, he said.
And you can bet they caught it.
That. was an easy job for a circus
! man.
Like the widows bottle of oil their
elephant contingent has grown until a
great herd Of these ponderous beasts
are among their geologic possessions.
There are the rarest animals from
all the climes of the globe, including
some far more interesting in some re-
spects than any ever seen here.
The show in its every department is
renlete with novelty and excellence. as

ALDERMANFC WISDOM.

Directed to the Smoke and BIZ
cycle Ordinances.
The aldermanic committee on streets
disposed of several matters yesterday
afternoon, some of which were acted
upon in the evening by the board of
aldermen, an account of whose pro-
ceedlngs appears in this issue
Assemblyman Parker's smoke -ordi-
nance, which the assembly passed
some months ago, was for the third
time laid over, but not Indefinitely, as
the committee accepted the invitation
of the engineer Of the Albion apart
ment building to inspect the smoke
consumer in operation there. The de-
vice is said to be very effective, simple
and economical. The committee will
examine it upon the day named for
the next meeting, and will then take
action on the ordinance.
Assemblyman Arosins bicycle or
dinance was laid over, and SO was the
assembly ordinance making it mis-
de1neanor for citizens to walk along
the Omaha tracks between the East
city limits and the Westminster street
bridge.
