''In the Bishops Carriage" At the
Boyd.
The Woodward Stock company began its
week at the Boyd theater by giving a
very o performance OF IN the Bishops
Carrisge,' to the satisfaction Of q large
audience. The presence Of Mary Hill
Dolly Spencer. Harry Long and other ia
Vorites In the cast was the occasion OF
much friendly demonstration. Mr.. Nc
Cullough, the leading man Of the COM
pany' made an excellent impression by
mis- manner and voice. The other
strangers we're very well received.
II would be time wasted to tell Omaha
people of Mary Hits qualities as an
actress. She has been well liked here
for a Ions time and her present engage
ment will not lose her any friends. She
is making Nance oiden a really lovesble
girl She shows the transition OF the
character from thief to honest woman
wonderfully well and gets hearty APP
plause by her efforts.
Mr.. Mccullough plays the part OF will
liam Lstimer with taste and good re-
suits Harry Long makes a capital Tom
Dorgan. His capacity as an actor seems
to be limitless. Mr.. Dupont is very good
as Edward Ramsey. the merry old sport
OF the play. The other men do their
work well.
Miss De Vyne makes Nellie Ramsey a
most attractive girl and one that ought
TO win The heart OF even a lawyer bent
on reforming people; but the action Of the
play demands that she be disappointed in
her desire for Latimer. Miss Spencer is
playing two parts and playing them both
well. As Mrs. Latimer she is sweet and
gracious, and as Mag Msraghan she is the
typical, warm-hearted, %impulsive Irish
girl Miss southard is doing well as Mrs.
Ramsey.
Harry Longs skill and Judgment as a
stage director is shown in the mounting
OF the play. 1t is put on with the great
est care and moves with the steady swing
essential to success. The audience last
night was very well pleased by the per-
formance and made it apparent by per-
sistent applause.

The year 1909 will long De remembered
on account of the wonderful recovery
from profound depression to great pros
perity that took place without the vio-
lent fluctuations in prices which char
acterized other periods. The conserva-
tive policy generally maintainedsthis year
concerning the making of contracts for
finished materials has been and still is
an important factor in establishing the
iron business on a sound foundation of
prosperity.
While Improvement in business has
been in all parts of the country, espe-
. cially impressive statements are made as
to the progress which is being made by
the west, where there has been ire
mendous increase in the consumption of
iron and steel products.
Following the selling of Bessemer ore
at so cents advance last week over the
quotations that prevailed last year and
the year before sales OF non-Bessemer
ore were made by an important interest
at an advance of so cents and it is now
regarded that this advance is established.
Owing to the prevailing dizziness in pig
iron and the feeling of some furnace In

Ener ores ought not to be as large as

also crimson poinsettia and holly, all
bringing out the same color. or as the stu

were also many Cornell pennants, also
in red, so that the entire home breathed
of the Cornell spirit. Punch was served
in the hallway, while in the dining room
there were salads and ices.
Mrs. Pinckard had invited a number of
young girls to assist her, although there
was no formal receiving line, the idea OF
informality being carried out as far as
possible and adding greatly to the hearty
pleasure of all the guests. The members
of the Glee club attended the dance given

that was what l meant all the time

cook knowingly.
"Paprika, you mean," said the hostess
producing the needed article.
And once again the cook lapsed into
a dissertation with his friends upon the
degeneracy of the times, the probable

the suffrage movement In America as

resolutions for the year 1910 would be.

Ihey had all heard the man talk so
much about the excellent manner in
which he concocted Welsh rareflt
that an evening was set apart for him to
try his hand at being chef. which slight
ly staggered the young man. but not
sufficiently to make him lose his poise
and put up the prettiest bluff you ever
saw
As the party gathered around the dining
room table in the wee small hours. after
a very animated game OF bridge, the
man who was to do the cooking sauntered
in with a fine air of bravado, and took
his stand at the head of the table
Bring along the ingredients" he said
as he busted himself with the adjusting of
the chatting dish. the alcohol lamp burn
ing brisl1ly, and the hot water bubbling
over in the pam
With the cheese all cut into nice little
cubes, the eggs beaten to a froth, and all
the seasonings necessary placed around the

ut only delays things" said the cook.
But it must have some reason for ex-
istence, else the bally manufacturers
wouldn't have made it,, suggested some
one.
Ignoring the remarks. the cook began
to pour the cheese into the pan; and
one bit of femininity, peeping over the
edge, exclaimed:
"Why you don't use any butter, do

pompously. But don't see any here"

hostess.
How much butter do you put in the

some one who overheard the remerk.

while about the most irrelevant subjects,

got Christmas, what he gave his best girl,
