That Flo Irwin is not so we'll known in
the west as her sister, May, is not the re-
suit of any artistic inferiority, but a conse-
sequence of her prolonged absence
from this part OF the country.
She was last seen in Omaha half a
dozen years ago, when she and May
together were the bright particular stars
of farce comedy company which played
Boys and Girls" at the old Boyd, and which
included Otis Harlan and others of note.
The two sisters are not unlike in appear
ance and their style is very similar. Some
who object to Mays largeness of method
find in Flo a greater deliolcy and refine
ment. Flo has won equal fame with May
IN the singing Of the coon" songs which
are now so popular, and is especially well
qualified to take up the title role in 'The
Widow Jones" where her jolly sister left it
off.
Flo Irwin will appear in 1.-The Widow
Jones" at the Creighton, beginning on Taurs-
day evening of this week. The supporting
company includes several of the clever peo-
pie who have been identified with the piece
for the past two seasons, Ada Lewis and
George w. Barnum being especially promi-
nent.
"Hogan's Alley" a new farce comedy
which features the yellow Kid" first made
illustrious by Outcault of the New York
World, will open a half weeks engagement
at the Creighton with two performances next
Sunday.
Stuart Robson, who is always welcome
visitor in Omaha, will return for "A short
engagement next week at Boyds, presenting
the two plays in which he has achieved
his greatest and most lasting success, THE
Comedy of Errors" and The Henrietta"

Insuring Bonds,

A new form of insurance has come to
quell the misgivings of people loaded
with Investments not altogether salts
factory. 1t is called investment insur-
ance. 1t is offered as guarantee of
all sorts of railroad and municipal bonds
in fact of all sorts of bonds Of political
subdivisions less than a state. 1t is
often said that capital is timid, still the
utmost temerity will often be display
ed on the part of owners of capital when
it comes to making bond investments.
railroad securities by people who can not
tell the location of the railroad, know
nothing of its business, of it's prospects
or of the size of its obligations. Some
banker or broker in the venture recon-
mends the security and it is bought,
while the buyer repents at leisure. 1t
is related of second mortgage. floated
in the east few years ago, that it con-
tanned a clause practically precluding the
mortgages from getting possession of
the property even though they bought
off the first mortgage. The investment
had been recommended by an interested
broker. He had the money while the
investors held the bag. The plan as
proposed by the investment assurance i.
thus described:
Communities offering sound stable,
and therefore insurable credit, will have.
under normal financial conditions, little
difficulty in making such credit avaia bic,
while those offering unworthy or low
credits. hence uninsurable. will be met
by serious and perhaps insurmountabe
obstacles. The line of distinction be-
tween the good and the bad will be more
sharply drawn and more clearly recog-
nized than heretofore. Counties, towns.
etc. will avail of our insurance. and in
addition to the revenue to the company
therefrOm, further income will be de-
rived from investors, for the reason that
insured bonds will command a premium
over uninsured bonds on the grounds
that two good names on a promissOry
note are better than one. Prudent trus-
tees of savings banks and insurance COM
panies whose holdings of this class of
securities are very large, will doubtless
avail themselves of the additional Sc.
curity offered by the guarantee of this
company.
An idea of the magnitude of the bust.
ness which this new company enters
upon may be gathered from the fact that
the city, town, county and school bonds
of the United States annually issued
amount to not less than $4,000. 600
Added to this are the railroad securities
The field for the work is practically
without limit. 1t is little singular that
the company starting out has capita
stock of S1,5OO.000. However. it may
be planning to feel its way. 1t is prob
able that the rates for insurance will be
something like those of fire, marine, hur
ricane or burglar. They will be rated
from little or no risk at all up to extra
hazardous, and the chances are that the
extra hazardous risks will figure among

DISCUSSED OUR DINGLEY BILL.
Agrarian Leader in the Reichstag
Points the Way to Retaliation.

Berlin. May BIN the reichstag, Count
Won KanitZ. the agraran leader, inter-
pellated the government on the subject
of the proposed new United States tariff
He asked if the government wished to
continue the agreement of 1891, and
said the Dngley bill implied less of an
increase of American customs revenue
than the successive expulsion of Euro
pean imports from American market.
Continuing. Count Won Ganitz remarked:
"The industry most prejudiced is the
German sugar trade. We should not
eXaggerate the consequences to ourselves
of abrogation of the most favored nation
treatment but we could give prefer
ence to Russia against American petro-
eum, place obstacles in the way of inn
ports of maize, raw copper. bacon, hams.
sausagcS and cotton from the United
States, and the government, it is hoped,
will take such measures as will tend to
the advantage of our industry, commerce
and agriculture and of the whole coun-
try" CHEERS from right.)
Baron Marschal Won Bieberstein, the
minister for foreign affairs. replying. said
that as the new United States tariff was
still in suspense he would confine his
chancellor, Prince Hohenlohe. to coun-
teract the danger threatening German
trade, adding: But l can not unroll IA
picture and show how matters will shape
themselves if the decision of the United
States house of representatives becomes
law"
Count Won Kardoff said the rightists
could not have implicit confidence in the
government in economic questions. Count
Won Kanitz' question, he asserted, was a
sort of vote of censure against the Amer
leans. adding that he would not have
been allowed to take such measures in
the time of Prince Bismarck. Count Won
Limburg-Stirum, conservative, also at
tackled Baron Marschal Won Bieberstein.
and the matter was then dropped.

man, "and because we are poor we pro-
test against your stealing what we have
left"
For the first time, Mr.. Morgan showed
signs of irritation, and turning to the
presiding officer, Mr.. Mantle being tenn
porarily in the chair, he protested against
the use Of the words ''gobbling" and
stealing"
eff it is not stealing, it is very much
akin to it," remarked Mr.. Tillman.
Mr.. Morgan said it was not surprising
to hear of stealing from a senator who
had proposed to relieve his state from
the federal taxes on liquor.

South Carolina so as to benefit the pop
ulation. educate the children, reduce
drunkenness one-half and shut up every
bar room in the state" responded Mr..
Tillman.
Mr.. Morgan, somewhat ruffled, said he
would not have entered upon this sub
ject if he had thought it would lead the
senator Cillman into such an intoXica-
ting strain.
tinued Mr.. Morgan. "and this is the first
time a senator has attempted to take me
off my feet by remarks personally of
fensive, even though uttered in spirit
of levity and badinage."
Mr.. Tillman secured the floor and dis
claimed any purpose to speak fippantly
or discourteously to Mr.. Morgan to take
him off his feet. This closed the Incl
dent.
Mr.. Morgan finally withdrew his
amendment in order not to embarrass
the bill.
An agreement was then reached that
final vote on the bill be taken at 3 p.
m. tomorrow. The senate then, at $40
p. M, adjourned.

A FAMOUS CASE DECIDED.
JUDGE MAxEY's DECISION IN THE
MEXICAN NATURALIZATION
CASE.
he IS ENTITLED 70 CITIZENSHIP.
Ricardo Rodriguez, Citizen OF
Mexico, Though Illiterate, Is a
Peaceable, Law-Abfdihg
Citizen.

San Antonio, Tex, May 3.--(Special) =
In the United States circuit court To-
day, Judge r. S. Maxey handed down
his decision in the famous Mexican nat.
uralization case. At the May term OF
1896 of the federal court, Ricardo hod-
riguez. a citizen of Mexico, filed an APP
plication to become naturallZed cltlZeh
of the United States. Two afhdavlts,
embodying the essential requisites pre-
scribed by the naturalization laws. ac-
companied the application. At the hear
ing of the application. Attorney A. D.
Evans ard II. j. McMinn appeared for
the purpose of contesting the same on
the grounds 'that the applicant is not
a white person nor an African nor or
African descent and is. therefore, not
capable of becoming an American citi-
Zen."
The opinion is quite lengthy and in an
exhaustive review of the naturalization
laws and treaties of the United States,
Judge MaXey, while admitting that the
applicant is not white person, an Afri-
can or of African descent, as provided
in the United States constitution, yet
he is within the spirit if not the letter
Of the law, and is competent to become
citizen. Referring to a number of
supreme court opinions and other author
tiles bearing on the naturalization ques-
ton, the court closes its opinion as fol-
lows:
"After careful and patient investiga-
ton of the question, the court is of the
opinion that whatever may be the status
of the applicant, viewed only from the
standpoint of the ethnologist, he is. EN-
braced within the spirit and intent of
our laws upon naturalization. and his ap-
plication should be granted. if he is
shown by the testimony to be man at
tached to the principles of the constitu-
ton and well disposed to the good order
and happiness of the same. 1t is sug-
gested that the proof fails in this respect,
and the objection appears to be based
upon the ground intimated in the briefs
of his inability to understand or explain
principles. That he is unable to read
and write, tie testimony clearly dis
closes. But the testimony also discloscs
that he is a very good man. peaceable
and industrious, of good moral character
and lawabiding to remarkable degree.
And hence it may be said of him. not
withstanding his inability to undergo an
examination on questions of constitll-
tional law, that by his daily walk. dur
ing his residence of ten years in the city
of San Antonio, he has practically illus
trated and emphasized his attachments
to the principles of the constitution. Con
gress has not seen fit to require of appli-
cants for naturalization an educational
qualification, and courts should be care
full to avoid judicial legislation. In the
judgment of the court the applicant pos
sesses the requisite qualifications for citi-
zenship. and his application will, there
fore, be granted"

Atlanta. Ga, May 3.-The Romeyn
courtmartial was concluded this after

case. He claimed to be justified in all
he had done. The old warrior told the
court many incidents of his military ca
reer and said in his record he had moth
ing to be, ashamed of. Judge Advocate
Carbrough replied in a speech of eleven
minutes.
1t is the general opinion here that the
verdict of the court will either be an ac-
quittal or light punishment. although
either of the .offenses with which Romeyn
IS charged is punishable by Dismissal
from the service. The officers of the
court leave for their respective stations
