HARLAN'S
SHIP YARDS,

A despatch from Trenton last
night says:
The new shipbuilding trust, which
has been organized by Lewis Nixon,
the ex-Tammany leader, tonight
secured charter from the office of
the Secretary of State, the new
concern to be known as the United
States Shipbuilding Company.
1t was understood by the attaches
of the corporation Office here that
the capitalization of the company
was to be $50, 900, 900, and the office
was kept open until after 9 o'clock
tonight. but when the attorney ap-
peared with the papers the charter
provided for capitalization of only
$4,000, one half of which is to be in
preferred stock.
The United States Steel Corpora
ton and the Carnegie Company
were incorporated originally with
only $4,000, and a few days later the
capitalization was advanced to hun
dreds of millions. The company
has for it's object the consolidation
of several OF the large sEipbuilding
concerns, and companies supplying
materials used in shipbuilding.
Some of the concerns to be consoli-
dated are:
The Union Iron Works, San Fran
cisco.
The Bath Iron Works, Limited.
The Hyde Windlass Company,
Bath, Me.
The Harlan & Hollingsworth Co.,
wilmington, Del.
The Crescent Shipyard.
The Samuel l.. Moore & Sons Co.,
of Elizabethport.
The Eastern Shipbuilding Co., of
New London, Conn.
The Canda Manufacturing Co., of
Cartaret, N. j.
The company may change its pre-
ferred stock into bonds at the will
of the stockholders.
The directors are Lewis Nixon,
Henry T. Scott, John S. Hyde, E.
w. Hyde, R. Hanscom, Irving NJ.
Scott, Horace W. Cause, Charles j.
Canda, Daniel L. Dresser and John
j. McCook. All of these are Off
GERS in the concerns absorbed.
Locally, the absorbing of the
Harlan and Hollingsworth Com
pany's yards is subject of much
conjecture.
The latest rumor being that the
Pennsylvania Railroad COMPANY
will eeentually own the local grounds
It's location is admirably suited
for car shops and as they are al.
ready built there would be no ne
cessity 10 build new ones.
Even the foundry could be op-
Grated and as the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has purch ased
large tracks of marsh land it looks
like business. The Railroad Com
panv uses boats, barges and floats
and all OF these could be built or re-
paired as the case might be at the
yard here. The yards are situat-
ed 30 tha t the Railroad Company
can run cars in or out any time
and the workmen who have homes
here would be sure TO remain. No
one In authority can be found 10
verify or denv the rumor.

SCoTCHMAN is THE PIONEER
James Bowman Lindsay One of the
First Advocates of Wireless
TeIeEraphy system.

LONDON, Dec. 27.-When Mr.. Marconi lee
tured at Dundee he gave full credit to the
Scotch inventor, James Bowman Lindsay,
for being the first man who thoroughly be-
lieved in the possibility of long distance
wireless telegraphy. fifty years ago.
He commended that Lindsay's system was
not considered practical on account Of the
enormous electrical energy required, even
for the most moderate distances and the
necessity of placing immersed plates at a
considerable distance apart, but he ad-
mitted that the inventor would have done
much more II he had lived in the present
time.
Lindsay's biographer has delivered lee
lures OF these early experiments in wireless
telegraphy and has exhibited the original
apparatus and diagrams. The biography,
which will be published shortly, will con-
tain many Of Lindsay's letters on the sub
ject, which prove the Originality and FEAST
bllity Of his experimental work.
1t is not generally known that Lindsay
took out a patent for his method OF wire
less telegraphy. He began experiments in
the grounds around Dundee in 1874 and re-
sumed them in 1853 at Portsmouth.

First, l would suggest that in a city Of
the Importance OF Omaha, and at an event
Of the Importance Of Miss Munchon's re-
cital, 1t ought not to be necessary to send
an inexperienced man on the stage, before
an audience which hlls the theater, to try
to open a grand piano
This is no criticism OF the gentleman who
tried to do his duty. but who was SEEM
ingly unaccustomed to the knack Of opening
a piano lid and putting 1t in place. The
manager OF Miss Munchoff's business or the
local agents Of the piano should nave seen

Speaking Of Lulu CHASER. here Is a gen
from the published works OF her press agent

Lulu Chaser is the possessor Of a rare

Fourthly and lastly-when a pianist con-
sents to play a solo or two at a vocal re-
cital, in order to lend an air OF variety, 1t
should not be considered that the instru-
mental solo is meant as an accompaniment
to. and inspiration of ~loquacious chatter.
Yet such a construction seemed to be placed

part Of the program at the concert under

Alice Fischer, a new star, will be at
Boyd's theater Monday for an engagement
that will include Tuesday and Wednesday
and Wednesday matinee. Miss Fischer in
her play has the distinction Of a 100 per-
formance run at the Victoria and Wall
lacks theaters, New York, early in the
season. While a new star, she is an act
ress who has an excellent reputation in
metropolitan centers. In Mrs. Jack" Miss
Fischer is said to have a splendid comedy
vehicle. 1t is from the pen of Grace Liv-
ingston Furniess. Mrs. Jack is a widow
who, although she never lived happily with
her husband, inherits his millions, to the
exclusion OF his brother and sister. She is
of the west, of a broad, frank and honest
nature and shocks and discomforts her
husbands snobbish relatives because she
insists upon providing for a heterogeneous
collection OF NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., prize
fighters and poor relatives-whom her hus-
band had befriended in his lifetime. Sus-
pensive interest is lent through a codicil
to her husbands will. In the end his for
tune goes to Mrs. Jack because she has
given shelter to an humble relative. With
Miss Fischer's spirited and highly humor-
GUS exposition OF the title role, a cast of
clever comedians and fine stage pictures
the play has proved to be a laughing sue
cess.

The bill opening a week at the orpheum
with a matinee today will be another holi-
day attraction and on New Years day a
special matinee will be given. Among the
entertainers will be George Felix and
Lydia Barry. two clever people, who furn-
ish amusement Of a favorite and typical
kind associated with vaudeville. Felix is
a funny comedian and intermixes his act
with unique acrobatics in an unobstrusive
and pleasing way. Miss Barry is a come
dienne who can sing and dance. On each
Of their former visits they scored heavily.
Gus Williams has not visited Omaha in a
long time, his last visit being as co-star
with John T.. Kelly. Last season he was
one Of the stars at Weber & Fields thea
ter, New York. In vaudeville he is said
to be repeating his success with his mimi
table German comedy. Tomorrow at ~"
is the title Of the new playlet in which
Katherine Osterman and company will ap-
pear. Fox and Foxier, the former a COM
edy ~juggler, the latter a well-trained ca
nine, will make their first local effort,
which will likewise be the case with Phyllis
Allen, a progressing and stately contralto
%soloist. Hanlon and Singer are acrobats,
their speciality being on Spanish rings, sell
dom being seen here more than once a sea-
son. The klnodrome pictures will be en-
tirely new, including one of more than or
binary interest, for it is a local view. It
was taken from the front end Of a locomo-
tive coming from Council Bluffs to Omaha

Coming Events.

o the Stroke of Twelve will be the
Boyd's melodramtic offering this afternoon
and tonight. For thrilling situations. eli
makes and scenes ION the Stroke Of
Twelve" cannot be excelled by any of the
thrillers that have preceded 1t. A daring
escape from Sing Sing prison, a desper-
ate fight in a counterfeiters' den and the
sensational scene in a pawnshop are only
a few Of the many very strenuous scenes
shown. A larger cast is employed and the
scenic and mechanical environmen are
most elaborate. Lovers of melodrama can
anticipate a treat in this attraction.
