the first time when the Whitney Opera

confusing it with the Rob Roy" presented

tion for the commendable purposes Of
charity Such, however, will be convinced
of their error on seeing the name of the
management, whom all familiar with things
theatrical will remember as the one who
so ably piloted THE Fencing Master" to
its so pronounced success. The company
which will be heard in Rob Roy" this
week includes number OF artists who
have won honorable mention in the struggle
for success and have thoroughly pleased
during former visits.

on Tuesday night, and promises TO be the
greatest musical event of the season, given
as expressed by the Commercial club the

those who take pride In the upbuilding Of

good orchestra and one that will place
Omaha in the same rank as her sister cities
Miss Lillian Terry will be the soloist and
her reputation as a singer is such as to
give hcr friends ample opportunity to hear
her to much advantage Messrs Calm and
Albert have not appeared in public very
much lately and the fact that both of them
will play solo numbers will be a loadstone
to attract the musically inclined. The

Godkin Discusses Social Problems
Other Noted Writers.


The December number of The At
lantic Monthly opens with a very
clear study of the most important So
cial problem that confronts us-"Social
Glasses in the Republic" by Mr.. E. L.
Godkin, of New York, who points out
the necessary existence of different
classes, and the unnecessary distinc-
tons that are based upon such differ
ences. He discusses the proposed re-
NEEDLES for inequalities. Professor B.
L. Gildersleeve, of the Johns Hopkins
University, writes an article, partly
reminiscent and partly prophetic, on
classical Studies in the United
States" in which he shows the differ
ence in the spirit and the method be-
tween studies of half a century ago
and today, both in Germany and in
American universities. There are in
this number three notable personal
studies: Professor Kittredge, the as
sociate of the late Professor Child at
Harvard University, writes an appre-
ciate article about this great scholars
work and life; Mr.. William Sharp,
from the point of view of a personal
acquaintance and a student, writes of
the late poet and artist, William
Norris: the Man and his Work; Mr..

writer on outdoor life, makes a present

famous chemist spent the last twelve
years of his life there, and the ruins of
his house in the Rue de Villiers are

JAPANESE COMPETITION IN IN.
Ola

In view of the threatened competi-
ton of Japan in American markets In
various manufacturing branches, it is
interesting to note the effect of Japa-
nese enterprise in India. An Indian
Journal says that the figures modestly
offered by Japan in 1885, and again ten
years later, speak with a voice that
browns all sneers at the output of a
people who wear grass clothing and
use paper handkerchiefs. Her total
exports and imports for 1895 came to
ST., 300, 900 In 1895 they reached $780,
100000 The increase, S218,700000, is
about threefOld in the ten years. The
contrast offered by some of the figures
for exports alone is almost dramatic.
Textiles rose from SSH, 800 to $22, Ill.,
626; mating from 1895 to So, 461 1863.
In ten years the export of cotton UNI
brellas was multiplied by 410, and the
total value of the "Satsuma" and Kaga
vases and other cheap curious went up
from over 100000 to over $11 900, 900.
The secret of Japan's enormous strides
in textiles has been that the great pro-
portion of the work is domestic. Last

In addition to these articles, there is
a notable paper by Mrs. Mary Caroline
Robbins, the author of "The Rescue of
an Old Place., and special student of
outdoor decoration, on ''The Art of
Public Improvement" Mrs Robbins
shows that the work of the landscape
gardener on small areas and on large
has in the United States reached a
point that warrants it's classification
with all the other great plastic arts.
She shows, indeed, how it is in this
great art that Americans are likely to
find their most satisfying results; and
the United States is likely to become,
by reason of this, the most beautiful
part of the surface of the earth.
An article of social and economic
significance is a description of the
German method of caring for the I'M
employed who are willing to work, and
of starting them afresh in life. This
article is the more instructive because
the author, Mr. Josiah FIynt, lived in
one of the German colonies of the I'M
employed incognito as a man looking
for work and he writes therefore out
of his own experience.
