December Il Mr.. Hadley states that there
are good prospects of the line being

The other most active bidder, it is be-
lieyed, is the Southern Pacific. II the
Blairs succeed in gaining absolute control

the transfer cannot be overestimated. 1t
means the extension of the Oregon Pacific
into Eastern Oregon and Idaho. and
probable through connection with the
feeders of the Chicago 4 Northwestern

be practically established. The plans
mentioned will be put into effect if the

OMAHA, Nov. 29-General Passenger
Agent Lomax, of the Union Pacific, de-
clared this afternoon that the recent visit
of Messrs. w. w. Finley and +. l. Whit
ney, of the Great Northern. was for the
purpose of sscertaining whether the Union
Pacific was inclined to advance transcon-
tinental rates providing the other lines in-
terested would agree to the arrangement.
To this Mr.. Lomax replied that as the
Union Pacific had not demoraiized rates
in the first instance it would gladly well
come any change that would increase its
revenue system. Upon the immigration
question he was silent, except TO say the
machine proposed to be erected by the
Western Passenger Association would be
found very cumbersome when actively put
into operation. The design of the bureau
is to take care of next years business, as
the business this year is practically at an
end. However, it Is purely speculation as
to just what will be done until the meet
ing on December takes action.

self finished musician. He is mas
ter of the theory Of music, good COM
poser, o good singer and very fine
director. 1t is his end to restore to the
church music of to-day the spirit and
style that prevailed during the later
years of Palestrina's life.
When Palestrina was a young man
the composers who were then in vogue
had fallen into the habit of using pop
ular songs as the basis for their masses.
The singers, who had hearS the songs
upon the streets or in drinking rooms,
fell into the habit of singing sacri-
legious words to the familiar tunes in
stead of the solemn words of the liturgy.
It seems almost incredible at this day
that such should have been the case.
How would it sound, for instance, to
hear the choir shouting "Annie Rooney,
She's My Sweetheart" in the middle of
an impressive service? Yet the choris-
ters in Rome four centuries ago did as
badly as that and even went further.
The composer may have arranged the
words of the mass to the refrain of a
ribald drinking song, and the singers,
neglecting the Latin, would sing the
original words while the priests were
performing their functions at the altar.
This naturally provoked great scandal
after time, and it became a serious
question with the church authorities
whether music should not be abolished
from the service. A committee of car
dinals was appointed by the pope to
consider the question, and il was well
known that the members of the COM
mittee were prejudiced 10 such an ex-
tent that they would probably recon-
mend rule against music.
Palestrina had at that time already
attained considerable fame as n com
poser. and one of his friends persuaded
the committee to permit the composer
to demonstrate that religious. music
music that would be dignified, beauti-
ful and pleasing-could be written
without any appeal to the popular airs
of the day. Palestrina tried it, and the
result was that after the committee had
heard the three masses which he had
composed, one Of them was performed
before the pope himself, and his holi'
ness was so pleased with the compost
ton that he declared that music should
still remain feature of the church
service.
So Palestrina saved music, so far NJ
the church Is concerned, and for long
time the influence of his pure and mas
terly thought was felt by subsequent
composers Then came another change
Composers wrote masses more for the
concert-room than for the church. Theii
music was good but II had not the TO
ligious atmosphere that the churci
requires A glaring example of thi
is the famous and popular "Staba
Mater" by Rossini. Rossini wrote thi
work as a joke. The only religiou
music in the whole work is tAr unsc
