THE DAZZLER.''- years ago some

it is safe to prophesy that our theater
goers who visit the Grand Opera House
next week are more than likely to gain
pound apiece in avoirdupois. Cosgrove
and Grants comedians will present 1.-The
Dazzler," or it might be said, the new
Dazzler. for since it was last seen here the
piece has been changed materially The
songs and Dances which constitute about
three-fourths of the entertainment, are
all entirely new this season, not one of
the old numbers remaining. The costumes
are also new throughout, and Of rich ma

latest New York designs. The company
consists of Ida Rogers, Will West, Agnes

OBSERVATIONS.

The question i'm dispute between the
Lincoln Street Car company and the
city as to the formers liability fer
paving taxes between the tracks is
soon to be settled in the courts. In
the meanwhile there is no reason why
the company should not go on with
the repairs necessary to keep the
plant in working order. If the com
pany wishes to spend forty thousand
dollars i'm improvements and repairs
there is no reason why they should
not proceed to do it. The council will
not agree to keep the paving between
the tracks i'm repair. The franchise
that the company has been granted
gives it the exclusive right to the
middle of the road, a right which in
conveniences and frequently endan-
gers the life of pedestrians. The
cheap transportation and access to
distant parts Of the city recUmpenses
the citizens for surrendering the best
part Of the highway. but the company
should keep that part If the road of
which it has been granted the eXclu
sive use. in repair. On the other hand
the property has not paid satisfactory
returns on the investment. and it is
idle to expect the owners OF the prop
erty to pay anything that the law
does not exact from them. There is
not a taxpayer in Lincoln who would
voluntarily pay more taxes on a prop
erty than the law required. Some Of
the best lawyers have expressed their
professional opinion to the effect that
the street car company is not obliged
by law TO pay the paving taxes AS,
The courier. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1894-1903, 1898-02-05

has been taken into court and it
should be decided there In the mean
time, opposition to the company be-
cause it has referred the matter to the
courts, is Inconsistent. There is not
a member of the council however
given to patriotic posing and sophie :
mOrical speeches, there is not citizen
Of Lincoln, or Of Utopia, for that mat
ter, who would not do exactly as the
directors Of the street car company
have done. This being so. and l have
yet to hear Of anyone willing to pay
taxes which he was not legally COM
PEELED TO pay, let us treat the street
car company without prejudice.
The Beth Book by Madam Sarah
Grand is the last Of trilogy which
began with Ideala and was followed
by The Heavenly Twins. 1t treats,
rs they do, of the evils consequent
upon having two moral codes. one for
men and one for women. Beth is Il
precOciOuS yCunySter and an uncOn-
ventiOnal young woman who marries
Il cad because he asks her to and be-
cause her people are poor. Her choice
of a husband does not Justify, Us print
erS say. She is a young woman who
has never allowed her judgment to be
biased by custom or convention. She
judges the rich and the poor, peer and
peasant with a singular accuracy and
Justice. Like the scales in physical
laboratory kept under glass that the
speckS i'm the air may not disturb
their delicate and true adjustment.
Beth'S intuitiOnS are exact and her
conclusions flawlesS, humanity speak
ing. Yet she married the first man
who asked her. he happened to be
danditied, brutal. ignorant
doctor. and daily association with him
became vivi-Section without an anaes-
thetic. Yet she will not admit there
is any relief, and not until he himself
wishes separation does she leave
him. Association with Il being whose
standards and tastes are superior is as
painful to one as to the other The
inevitable comparison and just as in
cvitable less of self respect is uncOm-
even for Il degenerate. Though
i'm the case of DIR. Mcclure. Beths
husband, it is cOmplimenting him
more than he deserves to call him a
degenerate. That word presuppOses
former excellence. and DIR. Mcclure
shows no survival Of breeding. char

made the villain justify more exactly.
The Beth Book is about the size of
The Heavenly Twins. 1t takes Mrs.
Grand 575 pages TO tell her story, but
the story does not grow tiresome,
therefore it is not too long. NOvelists
are in the habit of beginning with a
Minerva and Apollo at least eighteen
years old. Modern story-tellers recOg-
niZe the necessity of explaining the
conditions surrounding the childhood
of their characters and respond to it
more or less. But Mrs. Grand devotes
twC-thirds Of her pages to the child
hood of Beth. The account is So vivid
and. in a sense, photographed Of
the lives of all sensitive and magma
tive children, that when the story
reaches the mature period. when 10
begins To deal with the everlasting
dispute concerning the rights Of
women and the immunities of men, it
is less interesting.
Mrs. Grand is brilliant and logical
woman. She has message to deliver
as imperative as Joan Of Ares, and
she delivers it quite rs bravely and
effectually. She has been told appar-
emily that men do not like ner books,
to which she replies ia this one, that
she is not writing for men but for
women. She thinks il thewOmen can
be induced to expect more Of men, the
men will respond. She says that when
women loved knights. true knights
there were. when she loved trOuba-
dOurS the men turned trOubadOurs.
Whatever the standard be. woman has
made it and only woman can change

difference whether men, except for
their rcfiexive influence on women.
