so declared and granted a perpetual In

Rostand's play should be called an 'ar-

Beethoven.
Besides the injunction and the estab-
lishment of Mr.. Gross's commercial

Columbus and Calico did when their
claims to their own were recognized
by a man whose decision and patron
age meant the establishment OF his
claim by his neighbors, friends and
fellow citizens at large. Heretofore
for editors, dramatic critics and other
people whose business 1t is to amuse
the people. Mr.. Gross has served as a
neverfailing joke. To be relieved of
universal suspicion of attempting to
claim as his own the product of some
other mans brains is what has dis
turbed Mr.. Gross and encouraged him
to continue what has seemed a hopeless
attempt to secure the ownership of
what is practically his play. arranged
and improved by NJ. Edmond Rostand.
The author says he wrote THE Mer-
chant Prince OF Cornville" as a lit
erary diversion. In 1879 he gave a copy
of the play to Mr.. A. NJ. Palmer, Mr..
Mansfield's manager. Mr.. Palmer kept
the play for three or four years and
then returned it to the author with a
note suggesting several changes to
which Mr.. Gross would not consent
Parallel passages in the two plays are
so numerous that it is evident the
author of the play that was written
first, is the author Of both. There was
no contention in regard to the date
when Mr.. Gross's play was completed.
1t follows that Edmond Rostand "ar-
ranged" the Americans play without
acknowledgement. He undoubtedly
improved it and gave it literary
flavor. but honesty is a good policy In
literature as i'm life.
Mr.. Mansfield was interviewed i'm re-
gard to Judge Kohlsaats decision. He
said: THE decision can have no effect
upon the presentation of Cyrano de
Bergerac beyond the fact that Mr.
Gross will receive royalties in the fu-
ture instead of NJ. Rostand. What
effect it will have in France is an en-
tirely different matter, but il may
probably result in the Theatre Francois
and the great American and European
artists overwhelming Mr.. Gross with
orders for plays. and Chicago may in
the future be the centre of another new

Omaha business Men to visit Their
Southeast Nebraska Friends
Next Month,

At the meeting Of the executive commit
tee of the Commercial club the question Of
the trade excursion into southeastern Ne
braska was discussed at some length, al
though the committee in charge made no
report. The excursion will probably start
the first week in May and three days will
be occupied by the trip.
The secretary stated that the car Of sam
pies TO be exhibited at the letting of the
contracts for Indian supplies in Chicago on
April 10 would be sent from Omaha Wednes-
day and that bidders would probably leave
for Chicago April 13.
Several communications upon the subject
of irrigation from George. H. Maxwell we're
referred to the irrigation committee. 1t is
not believed that this committee will have
much work to do, as press dispatches state
that the members OF congress and the irri-
cation association have reached an agree
ment on the subject Of control Of the water.
The memorial committee was instructed
to draw up suitable resolutions in
grafton of the death Of Mrs. w. S. Wright,
said resolutions to be spread upon the
records of the club and a copy sent to Mr..

NEW SEASONS NATURE STUDY
School Children Begin Active Work
in Examination of Out
door Life.

Mature lessons began in all the graded
schools of the city yesterday and the
shower served in nc way to dampen the
ardor of the pupils, who sailed forth with
hoes, rakes. spades and wheelbarrows to
engage in the spring planting. Each grade
has a line Of study peculiar to itself. For
example, the first grade will investigate
in flowers, the tulip and the phlox; in vege-
tables, the bean; In trees, the maple, and
IN birds, the blue bird. Nature will speak
20 the eighth grade (which is the highest
grade taking up this line of work. through
the medium of the rose and pansy. the
squash and melon, the Eastwood and the
quail.
This is the first season for the nature
lessons. General lines for the study were
drawn up last fall, but little was ac-
complished in actual research, as the vege-
table world was then engaged In closing
out its autumn stocks. Now the work Is
being taken up In earnest. The pupil is
expected to watch the course Of develop
ment of each vegetable planted, the idea
being to stimulate an interest in such
things, that back yards, which now yield
large crops OF tin cans and old shoes may
be made to blossom as the rose.

coming anxious when a report came that
he was manifestlng his presence in the
neighborhood Of Twenty-fourth and Chi

According to reports sent in to police

Monday afternoon he became more bold
and stopped one Of the little girls Of the
neighborhood on the street. His actions
scared the child SO that che ran home

The officer to whom the complaint was
made said:

been done by him. Even the children could

is harmless, but he is a nuisance and will

so cents per yard, either Monday night or
Sunday night. Across the rear windows of
the building are iron bars several inches
apart. The thieves, after breaking out the
window. took a pole with a hook on the end
Of 1t and reached through the bars. hauling
out the velvet in sections. The pole was
found leaning against the rear Of the build
ing, though neither the velvet nor the
thieves have been located.
