May Disfranchise Preachers.

Que OF the surprises of the new
constitution of Virgins may be the
d'sfranchisement of n majority OF the
ministers in the Methodist Confer
ence.
Under the new Instrument no one
eau register who has not lived at the
place where he offers to register at
least twelve months preceding. Less
tnsn wear ago conference met and
over two-thirds of the Methodist pas-
tors in the State were sent To other
charges. These have not been nj
their new homes the requisite tune,
aud may thus have lost their rignt to
register. 1t Is an interesting point.
and one that Is causing a great deal
OF annoyance among the ministers
themselves, as well as to the leaders
of the Democratic party.
or the ministers la the Virginia
Conference, there are very few who
are not Democrats. and one of the
unexpected effects of the new Consti
tuition may be the cost to the party
of some three hundred or more voters
at the fall election.

Monday night Pollard's Juvenile Opera
company sang Audran's old, but still popu-
lar light opera The Mascotte." It is a
piece much better adapted to the natural
talents OF these clever tots, and the i'm
preston made upon the audience by the
organization far exceeded that Of the pre-
vious night when THE Gaiety Girl" was
the Offering. The attendance was small,
but the audience made up In enthusiasm
what 1t lacked In size. The s~oloists were
forced to respond to repeated encores, and
numerous curtain calls were demanded after
each Of the three acts. The fancy drill of
Prince Fritellini's soldiers, which included
almost the full strength of the company,
In the last act was particularly we'll ex-
ecuted and the youngsters were forced to
repeat 1t several times. AS was the case
at both Sunday performances, little Daphne
Pollard was the hit Of the performance.
Every time the diminutive tot made her
appearance upon the stage she was greeted
with a burst OF applause. She is certainly
one Of the cleverest children that has ever
appeared upon the local stage. Tonight
THE Mascotte" will be repeated, While
the engagement will be closed with two per-
formances Wednesday.

F. z. Nettleton, who was closely identi-

hall OF Kansas City. arrived in Omaha Mon
day to undertake similar work in connec-
tion with the Auditorium. His first en-
terprise in this line will be a guessing con-
test, the revenue from which will help
to swell the Auditorium building fund. Mr..
Nettleton expects TO take up his perma-
nent residence in Omaha and to be en-
gagged in Auditorium work at least a year.
I'VE had a guessing contest in Kansas
City" said he. from which about 100000
was realized, but the one l propose to in
augurate here will be a decided improve
ment on that because l will be able to
avoid the mistakes l made there"
Mr.. Nettleton declined to make known
the details of his guessing contest, as he
said they we're not yet definitely settled
upon.
