...AMUSEMENTS...
inlet

Ha m1et-
Since the death Of Booth, Barrett, Keane,
Forrest, Mccullough and others of the great
tradgedians of the century, local theater-
goeTs have been so often deceived by
mediocre productions of the classics that they
have become skeptical, therefore but hand
full of people witnessed Walker Whiteside's
presentation of Hamlet at the Boyd Friday
night To say that Mr. Whiteside's portrayal
of this exceedingly difficult role was praise
worthy, is saying much, for the actors left
upon the American stage. or any other for
that matter capable of giving even praise
worthy presentation of the character are
scarce.
AS Hamlet Mr.. Whitesde doubtless has
no equal upon the stage today and to this
character he should adhere. Charles Martell
and other characters of it's kind are be-
meath him. His reading of blank verse
is not only distinct but convincing and the
beauties of Shakesperean construction are
made manifest by his clever reading. He
closes his present engagement with two
performances of THE Red Cockade" today
one this afternoon and one this evening.

The seating capacity of the Creighton
| Orpheum was entirely inadequate Friday
night to accommodate the people who sought
to gain admission. The unusual midweek
attendance was caused by the announcement
! that Friday night was to be amateur night
and that at the conclusion of the regular
professional program the local talent was to
! be given an opportunity to display its his
tronic ability. The regular performance
commenced promptly at O'Clock and was
finished by 10 and while it furnished abun-
! dant amusement the real fun of the evening
commenced when the amateur program was
! well under way. The first number was fur
nshed by Marie Snowden, an artist of tender
| years who danced cleverly and offered a
| monoogue that was not at all tiresome or
! bad Following this Louis Ferdinand Germ
J hardt furnished ten minutes of enjoyable
| entertainment with whistling act that was
not half bad.
William Cornwell's speciality came next
| and right here was where the fun COM
menced. Manager Rosenthal introduced him
! as "Omaha's own, the Ezra Kendall OF the
! local vaudeville stage" and the people
naturally looked for something to laugh at,
which they got in short order Mr., Corn
well started off with monOlogue and the
audience soon forced him to sing by refusing
to laugh at his jokes, song started and
| they were instantly in an uproar OF laughter
and applause, which was so hearty that the
artist was forced to leave the stage, This
act was followed by a graphophone specially
! by II. II. Myers, Then little Lillian Emsley
entertained with some wellrendered songs.
Following this Eddie Shipley and Tom Miles,
two Council Bluffs boys, burlesqued the Ha-
waian dance to perfection Mrs. Croxton
followed with monologue' songs and
dances. Homer Payton essayed 10 reoite,
He was however, frustrated by the gallery
gods" and Louie Neale, colored lad, was
left TO finish the program with very clever

Early Closing.

The early closing committee reported that
committee of fifteen men had been ap
pointed to watch the stores until Christmas
to see that the law regulating the employ
ment of female labor was not infringed
upon.
The committee on municipal ownership of
the city water works also handed in a re-
port. joint meeting had been held with
the committee from the Commercial club
Poppleton will address the committees on
the present status of the case. 1t was the
opinion expressed by the committee that
the proposition of the city council to vote
$5, ,O0O, 900 bonds was simply scheme to kill
the matter outright.
A communication was read from Typo
graphical union No. 1870, asking that the evil
Lewis be taken by the committee from the
Central union to a meeting to be held Sun
day afternoon. 1t was decided to ask for ten
days or two weeks time in which to get
ready for the matter
The BARRIERS union made a report that
four BARRIERS in the city were not living up
TO the regulations. They were not charging
IL cents for shaves, as had been agreed
upon. 1t was explained that at the present
time BARRIERS were allowed their choice of
two classes of shops, one where plain shave
was given for 10 cents and the other where
a shave with hot towels and other luxuries
were given for Is cents. The matter was
referred 10 the arbitration committee.

vention the matter could be patched up
outside in some way.
The committee appointed to investigate
the trouble with the Omaha Labor Bulletin
made its report, sustaining the finding made
some time ago and reiterating the charges
made in resolutions published in the daily
papers. The Bulletin issued a special Labor
day paper and it was charged that the editors
solicited advertising from the local mer-
chants with the understanding that Omaha
labor organizations were to have their pro-
gram printed therein. When the paper came
cut there was no mention OF the Omaha pro-
gram, the South Omaha organizations be-
ing the only one represented. The Central
Labor union then issued a statement to the
effect that the Bulletin did not represent
that body to any appreciable extent. The
editors objected and a committee was ap
pointed to further look into the matter with
the above result. The members of the com
mittee were: Joseph Buggy James Stribling
and j. r. Brinkman.

A FIRE IN MANCHESTER.
Apel's Opera House Block Destroyed-A
Loss of $50, 900.

Manchester April 4.--Apers opera
house block, in which was located the
extensive furniture and household goods
pletely destroyed by fire tonight, caus-
ing a loss of upwards of $4,000, with a
very small insurance. The building
was three-story structure 50x150 feet,
and, with the exception of a saloon in
the basement, was utilized by Mr.. APPEL.
In connection with his furniture, etc,
Mr.. APPEL also conducted an undertaking
establishment, and had well stocked
music wareroom. The opera house oc-
cupied part of the second story, and an
other portion of the same floor was used
for storing household goods. Captain
Nichols of Company G, First regiment,
C. N. c., had all his furniture stored
here, and lost everything. The fire start
ed in the loft and was discovered about
1915 o'clock The cause of the fire is
unknown, but it is thought that live
electric light wire must have come in
contact with some of the easily ignited
articles that were stored there. When
discovered the fire had acquired good
headway and spread with great rapid
ity The fire department was handi-
capped to some extent by the lack of
pressure in the water mains. An effort
was made to save some of the stock on
the first floor, but it is doubtful it the
salvage will be great The fire burned
for over three hours and then there was
nothing left but the walls.

VIEW HAVEN BR4KEMAN HURT.
Fred Mclean Walks Off Car-Train
Had Broken in Two.

Danbury, Conn, April Aired Nc
Lean, a brakeman on freight No 143,
which left New Haven at O'Clock to-
night for Pittsfield, Mass, was brought
to the city hospital shortly before mid
night suffering with concussion Of the
brain and his condition is critical. The
accident occurred under very peculiar
circumstances. While the train was
near Brookfield Junction and going at
a rapid rate it broke in two. Mclean
was on the rear section, and not know
ing that the train had separated, walk
ed off the car. Brakemen on the train
succeeded in stopping THE second sec
ton about half mile from Brookfield
Junction. and then McLean's absence
was first noted. One Of the other brake
men who went back looking for him,
found him walking up the track ap-
parently unharmed, but when he reach
ed the caboose he became unconscious,
and could not be revived. A special
train was made up and he was brought
here. How the man escaped being in
stantly killed seems unaccountable Nc
Lean was about twenty-five years of
age and belongs in New Haven.

THE CHICAGO ELECTION.
Carter Harrison Elected--CarterS Secon
and AItgeld Last.

Chicago, April 4.-Carter Harrison
was reelected mayor of Chicago to day
by a vote of 146,147, against 13O,141 for
Mr., Garter and 45,401 for John P. Alt
geld, the independent democratic can
didate, Harrison's plurality being 1850.
In the last mayoralty election Harrison
was elected by vote of 14S,000, against
59,342 for Sears, the regular republican
nominee, and 69637 for Harlan the in
dependent republican. The democrats
town offices in the north and west
towns, the republicans carrying the
south town, although the final count
may take this from them. The vote
from the wards shows, as far as count
ed, that the republicans have elected
fourteen aldermen and the democrats
nine. The contest in several Of the
wards is very close.
The democrats will without doubt
gain working majority in the council.
The election was entirely upon local is
sues. The firm stand taken my Mayor
Harrison against the proposed fifty-year
extension of the street car franchises
was a strong element, and his popu-
larity gained him many votes from the
republican party, besides holding closely
to him many democrats who might have
cast their votes for the independent
democratic candidate. Another fact
that drew to him many republican votes
was the existing opposition to the re-
publican machine among the rank and
file of the party. Several independent
republican newspapers supported Mr.
Harrison, among them the Times"Her-
aid and Post, which have been recog-
nzed as Mckinley organs. The election
reveald some remarkable changes in the
republican party, particularly In the
strong republican wards whede shifting
to the democratic candidate was very
marked. Many of the wards which gave
Harrison strong majorities returned re-
publican candidates for aldermen.
