uously in her time. Mira. Chickering
read paper, 'Victoris az Queen, Wife

became general. The schools OF Eng.

and the present cheap uniform postal

meeting was very interesting, and tho
time for adjournment came all too som.
The regular meeting Of the woman's
club last Monday afternoon was Of I'm.
usual interest, an Evolutionary recital
by Miss Frances. A. McCord. OF Des
Moines. furnishing the main part of the
entertainment, interspersed with music
by Miss Written, which was much en-
joyed. Miss McCord's repertoire IN.
cluded both humorous and serious &C.
lections, but her adaptabiIity in tone
changes was more pleasing in the hu.
morous numbers. All in all, her efforts
were much appreciated by her audi

nouncement was made that musical

The plan proposed offers systematic
study OF the growth and history Of

suggestion that women should keep try.

The above from the club department

national organization that 80 far from

they have discussed it again and again
generally throughout the state the past
three months. Club women have writ
ten papers innumerable upon it. and as
is too often the case in a woman's con.
vention-possibly in mems convention
also-the subject was exclusively dis.
cussed before the real motion was
placed before the body. The delegates
at York came there prepared to vote on
this question. AS there was not word
offered 10 favor Of the proposed plan Of
reorganization there was no occasion to
take up valuable time 10 convince
those who were already convipcod. This
action, rather than convicting the club
women OF Nebraska Of ignorapc, o,

their organization is proof positive that
they have learned to possess them selves
in silence, when arguments are waste

THERE WAS ALMOST A PANIC
FIRE AND A PARROT AT MAUDE

Both Create Disturbance That Came
Very Near Having Disastrous
Results.

Chicago. June Acknowledgements for
which William Shakespeare made no
allowance arose during Maude Adams
performance of Romeo and Juliet" at
Powers theatre this afternoon. The
moon, which is supposed to shed its
soft radiance over the garden of the
Capulets, while Romeo makes love to
Juliet on the balcony above, became
aggressive and caught fire. 1t made
much smoke, which fioated out over the
audience and created some uneasiness.
Finally a nervous woman in the bal
cony started for the door at lively
gait, and in a moment the aisles were
full of women following her example,
the majority of them leaving hats and
wraps behind them. The orchestra
struck up "The Star Spangled Banner"
Romeo dropped the acting business
and, coming down to the foOtlights,
shouted, Ladies. sit down. Ladies, sit
down." But the ladies would not sit
down until Manager Powers of the
theatre climbed on the stage and as
sured the audience that bit of in
sulation on the moon wire had become
ignited, but a good portion of the moon
had been saved: the fire was out, and
there was no danger.
Quiet was restored and Romeo was
again telling Juliet his opinion of her,
while a parrot next door to the theatre
sent a few blood-curdling shrieks
through the windows. which had been
opened to allow the passage of smoke.
The audience was nervous and for a
minute there was a prospect of troG-
bic. but they were. quieted down once
more. the. parrot subsidized and Romeo
started in for the third round. which
he finished without interruption
During the trouble Miss Adams re-
mained on the balcony, smiling, wait
ing for the moon and parrot to subside
and for Romeo to come back 1t was a
trying ordeal for Miss Adams and Mr..
Faversham, who played Romeo, and
but for their coolness and that of Mr..
Powers, disastrous panic must have
resulted.

LORD WAS IN THE FIGHT.
What Jeffries, Sr., Says of the Big
Pugilistic Battle.

Los Angeles. CAL, June 1o.-When
reporter called at the home of Cham
pion Jeffries father in East Los An
geles last at night. he found the lights
out and the family asleep. After some
time the family were aroused and came
down to hear the news of the fight.
Mr.. Jeffries, who is a preacher, and
who does not approve of his sons pro-
fession, did not appear elated over the
result, though he asked several ques-
tions as to how the fight ended, and II
any one was hurt. Being assured that
neither his son nor Fitzsimmons had
sustained serious injury. he said:
Its just as / said some weeks ago.
when / was asked for an expression
on the coming battle: the Lord was in
the fight. He was with Jim, and, of
course, Jim won"
Mrs. Jeffries was delighted that her
son had won, and Immediately sent the
following telegram to him:
Il am glad you have won the victory
you have worked so hard for.

Manila. June 10.-At daybreak today
a force of $500 men. under Generals
Lawton, Wheaton and Ovenshine, ad-
vanced from San Pedro Macati, sweep
ing the country between the bay of
Manila and Bay lake, south of Manila.
By noon the country had been cleared
almost to Paranaque- The Americans
lost two officers killed and twenty-one
soldiers wounded.
The rebels resisted desperately at the
stronger of their positions and left fifty
dead in the trenches. Many more
wounded were left behind by the rebels
in their retreat.
The heat during the day was over,
powering and there were many pros
trations of American soldiers from
that cause.
General Lawton's force consisted of
two battaliOns each of the Twenty first
and Nineteenth infantry. six companies
of the Colorado volunteers and a de-
tachment of artillery. The Nevada
cavalry was under General Wheaton.
and the Thirteenth and the Fourteenth
infantry, the Fourth cavalry and a
detachment of light artillery were un-
der General Overshine. 1t was scarce
ly dawn when the troops. in a long,
silent procession. wound up the hillside
behind the American trenches and
formed a skirmish Hne. Concealed in
the jungle, the rebel advance outpOsts
fired a few shots before being seen.
The opposing forces. occupied two
ranges of erescent-shaped hills.
The artillery, the Colorado infantry
and the Nevada cavalry swung around
the hill top of the left and opened the
battle at $50
The rebels made no response from
the hills and the Colorado men eau
tiously advanced through the thick
grass until they were confronted by
"A trench. from which a few weak vol
leys were fired a spirited response
followed and a charge into the trench
found it TO be deserted.
In the meantime a part of the Thir-
teenth and Fourteenth regiments
formed in skirmish line extending a
mile to the right, and, supported by
the rest of the regiments, swept down
the valley and up the hillside toward
another trench
Approaching through the moraSs
seriously hampered the Fourteenth,
and the rebels, taking advantage OF
this, poured CALLING fire upon them
for thirty minutes. The Fourteenth
was twice compelled to withdraw for
the purpose of finding a safe crossing
in the swamp. Finally the trench was.
enfiIaded on both fianks. The rebels
fed to the woods and sustained Sc

General LawtOn then pushed his en-

south of Paranaque, when he swung

and the same is true of other states.
The principal factor in the big scheme
is Seymour Scott, a wealthy broker of
New York City, who has been working
on it for some time.
The scheme is a stupendous one,
and it will require at least three years
to perfect it. The American Mailing
company already has a monopoly on
all the malt produced in this country.
The distilleries win all be bought up
and also all of the 1000 breweries. 1

Indianapolis. Ind, June 10.-The Sen
tinel tomorrow will say:
The trust mania has reached the
brewers, and it is said on the best au-
thority that scheme is on foot to
form a trust with $1,000, 100000 capital
and buy up all the breweries in the
country. 1t is said that the scheme
received impetus at the national con-
vention of brewers at Detroit, when
plans were discussed secretly.
While the trust is only in the form
ative stage, enough men of capital are
behind it, judging from reports, TO
warrant the belief that the American
beer drinker will soon have no other
alternative than to quench his thirst
on the product of trust.
Joseph c. Schaf. president of the
American Brewing company of this
city, who returned today from Detroit,
where he attended the national meet
ing of brewers. admitted today that
the subject of a brewery trust was a
topic of private consideration at the
convention, at which 900 leading brew
ers were present. He said that he did
not care to talk much about it, as the
matter is in its infancy now.
He had calculated. he said, that
something more than $1,000. 900. 600
would be required, as there are 2,200
breweries in the country to be bought
up. 1t is understood that an option
has been placed by the trust on Mr..
Schaf's brewery, and this he did not
deny. He did not care to talk about
that phase of it, he said. When asked
how many options had been secured in
Indiana to date. he said, 'At guess,
1 should say eight or ten to date"
Mr.. Schaf declined to say who are
behind the brewery trust, but replied.
in response to that question: Eastern
capitalists are promoting the trust"
Story Is Confirmed.
Mr.. Albert Lieber, manager of the
brewery syndicate of this city. which
includes the three largest breweries
here. tonight confirmed the story of
the formation of giant brewery trust.
Mr.. Lieber had just returned from De-
troit, and after learning that the story
was out, said:
"a Pittsburg broker named Merkle,
representing the American Mailing
company, has just closed a deal in
volving S92. .o00, 600. whereby all the
Pennsylvania breweries were consoli-
dated This was one of the first Steps
in the big scheme. Options are now
