This directory for the coming year is
notable as showing that, for the first
time. the majority of the residences of
the people it enumerates are to the east
of Fifth avenue, and that the centre of
this population has moved northward
by two blocks since 1900. Formerly the
preponderance of residences was to the

west are only 3,2oS. In 1858 the centre

Omaha young woman. Miss Lynn Curtiss

A very little elaboration Of Miss Curtiss'

While debating the matter Of public
taste, one of the "acts" at the 0rpheum
during the week presented a curious and
not altogether fattering commentary on the
topic. Four men, each OF more than aver
age ability as musicians and possessed Of
excellent singing voices. highly cultivated
and perfectly blended. sang and played on
various instruments for the edihcation OF
their auditors. Their efforts at entertain
ing in this direction were certainly such
as would be appreciated by any lover Of
good music. But, to make their act go"
Il had to be funny" and the sweet strains
Of their musical voices were wasted on a
hodge podge Of coon melodies for the most
part, while the performers we're rugged out
In the most grotesque OF attire. And they
gave more time to silly horse play than
they did to playing on the instruments. OF
which they are masters. A violin solo Of
exquisite beauty and a tenor solo, each OF
which won a rapturous encore, developed
the fact that there were those present who
could aud did appreciate the music these
men furnished. But 1t was their b~uffoonery
after all that won for them the demands
that brought them back to bow again and
again at the conclusion Of their turn.
Yet we need not despair. for although the
light of the intellectual burns low. It is q
steady. lambert flame, not blown in Atful
guests. and sends forth rays that cheer
those who turn to 1t for illumination. And
