AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA.
"Garden Spot" Plan for Men Out of Work
VIII Ee Tried.

"Garden Spot" Plan for Men Out of Work
VIII He Tried.
At the last meeting OF the late charity ball
committee 1t was decided that five. Of the
gentlemen who had worked so hard for the
success of the enterprise be made members
of the executive committee of the Associated
Charities, in order to see that the $500 raised
was properly expended. This was done, and
the executive board Of the old association was
increased by five.
One Of the first things Father McDevitt
did was to suggest plan to aid the working
men Of South Omaha in another way than
doing out coal and kour He spoke Of the
Detroit garden spot" scheme, and 1t was
we'll received. All that was needed was the
help of few men Of wealth who would back
the plant. The matter was talked over about
town, and as a result the following named
gentlemen have met and decided to go ahead
with the work: w. s. King, DR.. Ensor, Father
McDevitt and Rev. Irving Johnson.
1.-TWO facts are very evident" said one CT
the committee yesterday. "One is that very
many men in South Omaha find 1t impossible
to earn enough at present in the packing
houses or elsewhere to properly support their
families. The other is that there is far more
than enough good land within the limits Of
South Omaha to produce vegetables enough
for the entire population of the city But
the land is neglected In behalf Of laboring
men with families 1t is proposed to organize
commission of citizens of South Omaha who
will secure good land, hire capable superin-
tendent, have the land plowed, narrowed and
prepared for planting, stake 1t OF into por-
tions, assign these portions to families that
will promise to plant and care for them and
finally be entitled to the products. In cases
where families are not able to buy seed the
commission will supply them with seed, for
which they will afterward pay II they are
able The commission will reserve a good
portion whereupon families In want of i'm
mediate assistance can work and receive
payment either In cash or provisions. 1t is
hoped by this plan to provide all men who
will work with an opportunity to do so. Men
working in the packing houses on short time
can put in their spare time on the farm.
This csheme has worked In Detroit las year.
and 945 families took advantage of 1t. The
final result was that they gathered over $4,000
bushels of potatoes, enough other vegetables
for the summer and were not obliged to ap-
peal to the charity associations for help"
Messrs MoDevitt and Johnson have worked
up quite an interest In the scheme, and 1t is
expected that many Of the industrious pack
ing house men now out of employment will
take advantage Of the offer.

gentleman. Out of respect for him. request
that this inquiry should be adjourned to such

After eulogistic remarks by others the
committee adjourned to meet next Saturday.
In adjourning the meeting the chairman ex-
pressed the hope that this affliction would
tend to bring about kindlier feeling among
the remaining Judges Of the general sessions

Judge MARITIME was born in this city forty
nine years ago, the son Of prominent mer-
chant. His family was one Of the Oldest In
New York, the Lee-Martines. 1t was under
his supervision as district attorney that the
famous Doodle board Of aldermen was prose-
cuted in 1887. He was elected a judge of
the court of general sessions in the fall OF
1887 and took office in January his election
as a Judge was made possible by an act passed
in 1887. creating an extra Judge OF the
court Of general sessions.

Nellie McHenry will play her second en-.
gagement at the Boyd on this Sunday and
tomorrow evenings, in her popular comedy
called "a Night at the Circus" Eighteen
months ago Miss McHenry produced this
piece at the Boyd to very large business.
Miss McHenry has for many years been
one of the most prominent figures among
American soubrettes, and undoubtedly one
OF the most popular. She was one of the
first to appear in the light order of enter
tainments that have since been classified as
farce comedies. The play in which she is
appearing this year has, according to all
accounts, met with much greater success
than any other stage production in which
MISS McHenry has given her vivacious pres
ence. There Is more or less of a plot to the
piece. 1t introduces her as Mile. Electra a
circus rider. who, having trouble with her
manager resigns. The manager seeks to
force her to keep her contract and attempts
to have her arrested. She goes to two law
yers for advice, and these gentlemen of the
bar are fascinated by the queen of the saw
dust arena and become her devoted follow
ers. But the lawyers have obstacles I'm the
way Of their love making with the fair
Electra in the persons of their wives. When
Electra discovers the presence Of these bet
ter halves she sets about for revenge on the
Two errlng lawyers. In the last act she
succeeds in obtaining 1t by getting them to
assume two characters in the circus, much
to their humiliation and the ridicule Of their
associates.
Faust" Is announced for Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings next at Boyds theater.
The text of Mr.. GrIfith's version of Gosthes
majestic drama clings closer to the great
poets masterwork than that of any version
now extant, and Mr.. Griffith makes Mephisto
spirit who increasingly denies" He
makes him an intellectual devil, whose bust
ness Is to present and represent all that
Is opposite to good. Griffiths Mephisto does
not tempt Faust" directly and brutally,
but rather ensnares him by train of reason
Ing which the latter cannot answer because
they are but reflections of his own doubts
and fears. Retaining Mephisto's cunning,
his searching ridicule and savage cynicism,
he echoes all the reckless unbeIief of the
human race, their rebellous impulses, in
dulgences and ready negation of virtue, love
and faith, always willing the bad, but always
thereby working the good in spite of him
self. The production will be magnificently
staged, both scenically and electrically, par
ticularly in the "reveIs on the Brocken. "
which is said to be the finest scene of the
kind staged.
