A ROOM.


SIindins Screens Instead of Doors
How to Lay tIic MhttinE.
In keeping pace with the freaks of fash
ion one must now have a Japanese room,
and odd and attractive is this same apart
ment when properly gotten up. The floor
must be covered with fine, natural colored
mating, Gays the Philadelphia Record, but
one may use the solid colored mating with
out destroying the effect If this seems more
desirable, though the so-called white mat
ting Is the Japanese kind used.
The mating, it must be understood, is
not to be laid as we Americans lay it-that
is, in long-continued breadths, but In the
following manner: Take a %six-foot length
of fine weave, best quality mating las the
best long outwears the cheaper qualities
and pays for itself in the end, bind the
ends and sides uniformly and neatly with
regular wide carpet binding Of a solid color,
say deep red or brown, and lay this in one
corner of the room, lacking 1t down. Bind
more lengths if the room 10 fifteen feet
long; bind another six-foot length and a
three-foot length and lay them, the siX-foot
length next to the one already down, and
the three-foot length next to that; this will
complete one continuous breadth. Begin at
the end of the breadth just completed, or,
rather. right alongside, and lay another six
foot length, next to that another, and then
a three-foot to finish the second breadth;
this will bring the last three-foot alongside
of the first slx-foot length and produce the
irregular lay which is eminently Japanese.
Before laying any mating, however, pad
the floor thickly with carpet lining, the
wadded kind, or else lay a very thick lining
of newspapers, five or six deep, as Japanese
mats are laid over very thick rice mats to
produce a soft. luxurious surface for the
fine upper mats. After the whole floor Is
thus irregularly matted, procure thin inch
wide mouldings OF wood, stained or painted
brown. and lay these over all the inter
sections of the mats, lacking them down
securely.
To make the room as Japanesque as pos
sible remove all doors and replace them by
sliding screens, theiframes of which may be
painted Jet black and the panels filled In
with japanese chintz. Or one may buy
Japanese paper screens very reasonably, that
will have a nicer finish than homemade
affairs. Metal attachments may be bought
to screw to the top and bottom Of the screens
to make them slide. and slots of wood must
sliding in.
Hang at the upper sashes Of the windows
fine bamboo shades and below these. at the
lower sash, drape sash curtains of Japanese
cotton crepe. This crepe being narrow four
breadths will be required for each window,
two breadths for each curtain. Trim the
inner. edge with tassel braid and the effect
will be exceedingly pretty.
Every Japanese apartment should have two
~alcoves; say, one end Of the room divided
to form the two aleoyes. or small %alcoves
formed in opposite corners. One Of these
alcoves should stand for the to-ko-no-ma, or
not be used for that purpose. The to-ko-no-
ma should be used for the display Of one, or
a set of three. Japanese hanging pictures,

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

This evening at the Creighton theater Cap
tain Jack Crawford, the poet scout, will
give his novel entertainment entitled 1.-THE
Campfire and the Trail" During the per-
Torrance, which is in the nature of a mono
career has peculiarly fitted him to describe,
Captain Crawford will recite several Of those
unique poems, which have given him, since
his retirement IRON frontier life, as high a
reputation in the way of verse-making as
that which he attained during his years Of
government service on the plains.
Sol Smith Russell will open his engagement
with a production Of Sheridan's comedy, The
Rivals" at Boyd's theater on next Friday
evening, Mr.. Russell appearing as Bob Acris.
"The Rivals" will also be the bill at the
matinee. On Saturday evening a double
bill-"Mr. Valentines Christmas" a one-act
curtain-raiser, and the new m comedy
by Marguerite MeTjlgton, A Every Day
Man. will be giren. The sale Of seats will
open next Thursday II orniiig.
Della Fox and ker excellenty company will
open an engagement of two nights at Boyd's
theater on tomorrow Sunday evening, in
the new comic opera, "Fleur de Lis" The
sale of seats will open at 9 o'clock this morn
ing, and indications are that the demand
will be brisk.
There is little doubt that the public would
warmly welcome a return to the days of the
stock companies, as it would certainly bring
an improvement in the drama, but 1t seems
the theatrical managers will not permit 1t,
as under the present system they can make
money out of plays which. if presented by
stock companies, would be losing ventures.
Anything, however, which points to a revolu-
ton of this sort is applauded, and it is there
fore with pleasure that the public, so far
as can be learned, has been much interested
in the announcements of the coming of the
Frawley company, one which will open an
engagement of one week at the Creighton
tomorrow night, with an elaborate production
of w. H. Cranes great American play, THE
Senator" To judge from the fattering
notices given Mr.. Frawley's company else
where, their performances must, indeed, be a
treat, and play-goers of our city will sustain a
loss If they fail to see them. Men and
Women and "The Lost Paradise" will also
be presented during the engagement.
Remenyi, the famous virtuoso, will play
in the star course of the Young Mems Chris
tian association next Wednesday evening.

LOCKED UP FOR swINDLING.
Party Charged with working n Num-
her OF Frauds

Party Charged with working n NUM-
her OF frauds.
During the past winter some unknown
party has caused the Associated Charities
no end of annoyance by soliciting funds
for the poor of the city. The money COL
lccted has footed up quite a snug sum, but
none of it was turned over to Secretary
Laughland. Several parties have been ar
rested at different times by the police, but
it was found that they were not the men
wanted.
Yesterday b. II. Goldgraber, a grocer at
1903 North Twentieth street, informed the
police that he had been swindled out of
SO worth of goods by a young man, of whom
he gave a description. He said that the
party represented that he was employed by
ID. j. Schmidt, a carpet cleaner, on South
Nineteenth street, and that his employer
would stand good for the bill. When Gold
grader presented the bill to Schmidt for
payment it was refused, the latter stating
that the man did not work for him and
that he was a fraud. From the description
given, Schmidt recognized the purchaser as
a former salesman for him, named Bishop.
Bishop was arrested, charged with obtain
ing money under false pretenses, although
he insisted that his name was not Bishop,
but C. II. Moore, and that he knew nothing
about the matter.
Last evening he was identified by Schmidt
and Goldgraber and also by John j. Frey
tag, 1914 North Twenty-fourth street, who
stated that Bishop solicited small amounts
from him in behalf Of the Associated Char
tiles.
Bishop is also said to be the man who
swindled Charles F. Greffert, a butcher who
formerly conducted a business at Twentieth
and Leavenworth streets, out of $12 on a
fraudulent check. Bishop called at the
butcher shop one day and bought so cents
worth of meat, saying that he did not have
the change, but would call and pay for 1t
the next time he passed that way. Next
day he rendered a check in payment and
received $11.50 in change.

II P1cnscs Mayor Johnston,

The recent decision of the supreme court
affirming the right of the city to assess the
cost of viaduct repairs to the railroads
greatly pleased the mayor and members of
the city council.
Regarding the matter Mayor Johnston said
The administration of 1892 and 1893 repaired
the two viaducts in this city at a cost of
about $4,000 without making the slightest
effort to compel the railway companies to
pay for the same. The cost was paid by the
entire people with a levy of 4 mills made in
July, 1893. The present administration has
expended about S., 500 in viaduct repairs and
has taken all necessary steps to compel the
railroad companies to pay for the same. There
can be no doubt that the railroad companies
can be compelled to pay the cost of repair
on viaducts in South Omaha, because the
provision in the charter relating to such
affairs is identically the same as in Omaha. Z"
When Mr.. Johnston assumed the office Of
mayor he saw that this important matter
had been overlooked by the former admins
tration and at once called the attention of
the council to the fact that it was for the
railroads to keep the viaducts in repair.
He has gwen the matter his personal atten-
ton and has seen that the necessary legal
steps have been taken by the city attorney
so that tie railroad companies cannot avoid
the payment.
The railroads affected by the decision are
the Union Pacific and the Union Stock Yards
company.

Captain Jack Crawford, known to fame
as the poet scout, will tonight entertain
an audience at the Creighton, where an
enjoyable time is assured. 1t is almost
needless to state that Captain Jack has
been identified with the early growth. and
development OF Omaha and has hosts of
friends here, who will avail themselves of
the opportunity to hear him. 1t is now
twenty years since he first began to draw
attention as a correspondent of The Bee,
particularly when delegated TO report the
Black Hills country, where he added to his
fame by rendering valuable assistance as
a scout at the time of the Custer massacre.
Rough and rambling was the copy he in
those days sent in for Bee competitors to
decipher, but it was always like the
writer-a rollicking. medley Of matter,
Dumping into one fact and b%ubbling over
another, like an unfettered mountain
stream that keeps agoing and finds its
way down in the. end, somehow. In the
freedom of his style it was not unusual for
him to break into verse in the midst of
a letter and get back to the thread of his
subject without seeming effort. Since those
days Mr.. Crawford has won lasting fame
through his poems, some of which have
found their way into the school room as
selections for recital. The principal part
of the entertainment will consist in the
rendition of his own works, a. task in
which long experience in the leading cities
of the country has made him thoroughly
proficient. As previously stated. Mr.. Craw-
ford's old-time popularity augurs a large
attendance and no one desiring an enjoy
able evening will be disappointed.
