TROUBLE NOT ALL SETTLED
Anairs of Local Concern seem Very
Much Unsettled, AccordinE 20
Postmaster Palmer.

Postmaster Palmer takes a different view
OF the projected and pending investigation
OF the American Real Estate Installment
company than does the manager OF that
concern, whose version was given in The
Bee Wednesday. Here is what Captain
Palmer has to say on the subject:
To the Editor Of The Bee ] note by this
mornings Bee that the postmaster has
been making an inquiry into the new con-
cern krown as the American Real Estate
Installment company. which concern has
recently begun business in this city in
room SC5 New York Life building"
1t is stated to your reporter by some ON
Ger OF the company that "our trouble with
the postofhce grew out OF some informality
with the publication or our notice OF in
corporation. 1t appears that the postmas-
ter had not seen the notice Our attorney,
Mr. Doyle, called upon the postmaster this
morning and all matters have been salts
factorily arranged"
This statement is entirely too misleading
TO pass unnoticed. There has not to my
knowledge, been any trouble with the post
Office. learned incidentally that this CON
Germ was sending out circulars through
the mails and also canvassing Omaha resi-
dents. urging them to invest on the in
stallment plan for a 81 900 home at 1880,
paying a fee OF IS and a monthly fee OF
$3.50 for twenty months, when the company
guarantees that It will make a loan or
refund all the money that was paid with 6
per cent interest.
I also observed from the circular that
the company was incorporated under the
laws of Nebraska and capitalized for $780,
900; that 'the money received will be Sc
cured by irst-class real estate mortgage:"
and further, that payments shall be made
to the home offce, room SO5 New York
Life building"
l called at the Office to ascertain If the
concern had any actual paid up capital
or any financial standing. The clerk in
charge of the office-the only person there
was unable to answer the question, and as
yet l have no Information upon the sub
ject. AS there has not been any trouble
as yet with the postoffioe. and as have not
seen the attorney or any officer of the
company, the matter has not of course
been satisfactorily arranged"

At THE PLAY HOUSES
FerrI. 500. company at the Boyd.

Ferris stock Company at the Boyd.
Last night the Ferris Stock company put
on "A Mothers Sacrifice" a comedy-dram0
by Harry Mckee. to finish out the week.
Its first performance was greeted by
generous audience. which enjoyed the piece
greatly. The play involves the elements
Of farce-comedy and a modern melodrama,
with the line OF cleavage very clearly de-
fined. Two main plots are coupled by a
subplot In such manner as to leave the
principal tales distinct and yet to Join them
in such way as TO Justify the presenta-
tion of both at once, The comedy rests on
the affairs of rather weak young man
who married with a strong-minded woman
some years his senior for the purpose Of
enjoying her money, She treats him with,
much rigor until he finally rebels and does
dish-smashing turn TO assert his man
hood. This episode was brought out with
appropriate emphasis by Mr.. Mckee and
Miss Carmontele, and won a hearty burst
of laughter. The second feature OF the
piece is the tangled story Of girl who has
welded with a villain and whose child is
made heir by his grandfather. Incidental
to this is tale of other villalny which
gives Mr.. Barbour an opportunity to do
the best bit of character acting he has yet
offered in the role OF a convict turned
tramp. This phase of the play lacks CO.
herence. Miss Pavey is supplied with
part that calls for considerable effort and
which she fully meets. Others in the CONF
pany work hard and finally clear up tho
accumulation of incidents provided by the
author for the action Of the play "a
Mothers Sacrifice" will be the bill for the
rest of the week, with a matinee on Satur-
day.
