The Drama,

lutely never fails. Any artistically
rendered scene will call forth COM
paratively mild approval, but if ended
OH d b fiat or e. will bring down the
house. If high note occurs in the
middle Of d scene, one will hear muir
murs all about as though everyone
were whispering to his neighbor, That
is good" Every time Signor Avedano
forced a high tone last night. the house
simply stormed. Demonstration is
pleasant to an artist, but if he isn't
careful. Signor Avedano will end his
career in continuous performance, to
pay for his present popularity.
Speaking of vaudeville reminds me Of
the Orpheum. the big vaudeville
theatre. 1t is the biggest play house in
town, and is packed every night. 1t
has its regular patrons, and people
visiting the city, prefer the entertain
ment there to grand opera or heavy
drama. The air is so thick with cigar
smoke that one can scarcely see the
performance. Seeing. however, is not
necessary to ones enjoyment, and one
can always hear the coon impersona-
tors and brass throated prima donnas.
The men have decidedly the best of a
performance of this kind, for they can
enjoy their cigars, while the women
must suffer this part as well as the
rest Of it at times. However the per-
Torrance at the Orpheum this week,
which may be taken as a fair sample.
is very good one for the price, and
contains some excellent features. The
acrobatic barrel jumpers carry of the
palm. Coon songs are so over6one
nowadays that they all sound alike, and
pass without particular notice. This
show contained real coon,' who did
not try to be anything but what he
was, and was therefore a success. He
was assisted" in his act by a rag
time pianist who gave several eX-
amples of this speciality, including
'Narcissus' in rag-time, which was
quite a novelty.
Every audience at the theatres con-
tains a liberal percentage of soldier
boys. The California people are pre-
pairing royal reception for their own
regiment. which is expected shortly. a
benefit for the entertainment fund is
to be given at the Orpheum in which
the leading professional talent here will
take part The auction sale of seats
and boxes is to take place today and
will be interesting in itself. Among
those who will assist the auctioneer
are Blanche Bates. Mrs. Clay Clement,
Louise Thorndyke-B ouccicault. Mar
garet Anzlin, Alice Nelson. Edna Wal
lace Hopper, Margaret Dale. Edith
Mason, Anna LIGHTER, Mary Linck and
Hope Ross.
Mr.. and Mrs. Clay Clement will open
their season shortly at the Columbia
theatre They will be seen in Salt
Lake next month. L. {. c.

Letter to Her Father.

| Wednesday-Dear Papa: l am so
glad am coming home. as l know you
always loved me. My life has been so
I full of bitter disappointments since we
parted. l am so glad TO get home.
Your loving daughter,
MRS. W. L. LEE.
p. S.-Walter is in Seattle.
AS the letter was not addressed no
clue was given to the fathers resi-
dence.
When her valise was examined II was
found to contain a pOcketbook with IS
in it. a four-ounce bottle labeled AL
cohol, Hayden Brothers. Omaha, and
one or two small articles. Her shirt
waist had been marked. but the name
was removed.
At lis this afternoon stranger
called at the morgue to view the re-
mains. He save his name as II. Spen-
Ger of Omaha. He was escorted TO
where the body was lying on cooling
board, and as soon as he caught sight
of the face he gave a slight start and
his eyes became moist. For several
minutes he looked upon the face OF the
dead woman. Tears gathered and he
swallowed as if trying to remove a
lump that had gathered in his throat
When asked if he recognized the wo-
man he refused to answer. but imme-
diately made his way to the street.

a special dispatch to the Omaha Bee
from Hastings, Neb., says:
There is just as much mystery as
ever surrounding the death of the
young woman Who died in the Lindell

not her true name.
At the coroner's inquest, held today,
il was learned that the woman arrived
in Hastings Tuesday night on BurlinS-

companied by a man, who escorted her
to hack. The couple were driven 10

she left word TO call her in time to go
to Cowlyes, where she claimed her
father lived. 1t seems that she was not
at the hotel long before she penned the

purpose of checking some express bills,
when one of the gang sprang into the
car and broke in several packages
But before he could get to where the
money envelopes were, the messenger
returned and seeing the robber at
work. gave the alarm.

wore standing guard on the platform
OF the west end of the car then pulled
the bell rope, and when the train
chopped. jumped off and made their
escape III the darkness.
A sheriff's posse is now securing the
