reader of the article published in the Mon
day morning Omaha Bee regarding the
very deplorable condition of the lack Of

worthy bachelors exist as in the Big Horn

lions OF the Gray Ball club" There are,
even in this city, many young women
bachelor girls, matTons and even grass
widows who would rejoice at the chance
TO change their condition for a better one,
providing the credentials OF these Hfore-
said bachelors coincide with their views
of living, principal views being good
man. good home and good provider, not TO
say well versed in good religious prin-
ciples, and can safely say the females will
respond cheerfully. As to business out
look We are all business, and by the COM
mon necessities OF life we would gladly

that the people OF Omaha are to have n
chance to see one OF the most charming OF
romantic plays presented by an actress
who has made the role of Mary Tudor her
own In every degree. Miss Knott has made
great progress in her art since her first
visit to Omaha and is coming to be recog-
nized as one of Americas stars. In this
play she finds an opportunity for talent
that is peculiar TO herself and makes the
most OF it. The incidents of the drama are
historic and are wrought out with fine
regard not only for dramatic potentialities,
but for the truth of circumstances. The
scenic investiture of the play Is not only
artistic but is really magnificent and adds
greatly to it's general effectiveness. The
company back Of Miss Knott this season
is also strong one and the whole produce
ton is one that is sure TO please. The en-
gagement for Omaha is for three nights.

striking transfers should continue the
fight until the seven express compa-
MES offered some sort of a compro.
mise. The officials of the express
companies are still obdurate in their
declaration that no concessions need
be looked for from their side. so the
matter Of settlement through this chan
mel seems as remote as ever. With
over 1000 police and deputy sherits
detailed on strike duty the employers
declare that during the present week
they will be able to convince the strik-
ers that any further continuation Of
the fight will be suicidal to the Team
