IN LOCAL MUSICAL CIRCLES.

There has been a rumor In musical circles
the past week that the Tavary Opera com
pany had gone in" on account of bad bust
ness. Nothing definite was known of the
rumor by the management Of the Western
Opera association, but a letter from Miss T..
9. Tenant Clary, from Sioux City, gives
the following encouraging information: 'In
reply to numerous Inquiries, please say that
there will be a season of grand opera at
Boyd's theater April 81 to IS, tickets for
which will be sold by subscription" AS
Miss Clary says il the Tavary Opera com
pany has failed, of which she has no knowl-
edge, lit is another strong argument in
favor Of my plan for opera. Omaha will
have her season just the same and will con-
tinue to have as long as she has a local
management" Miss Clary has demon
strated time and time again her ability to do
Just exactly what she says, even in the face
of seeming insurmountable obstacles, and
there need be little fear as to her zeal in
giving Omaha her annual season of opera.

There are so many clever musicians among
the debutantes that an orchestra of strings
could easily be formed, and nothing could be
done that would net more money for charity
than a concert by the young ladies who are
part of the social life of Omaha and those
who are content to labor over their music
still. Miss Helen Willard and Miss Darlene
Coe play the violin most charmingly: then
there is Miss Robinson of Council Bluffs, an
SaSSiiSAi NAtoo ANuoh a WIG
harp, while undoubtedly there are others
who are performers that are not known to
the musical editor, but whose talents might
be enlisted for sweet charity's sake. 1t
certainly is worth u thought, and Miss
Millard's sympathy is enlisted in behalf of
the formation of a ladies' orchestra patterned
somewhat after the famous orchestra by
the swells of New York led by Miss Shep-
pard.
AS a mark of appreciation for its effective
service and usefulness during the past year,
tho official board of the First Methodist
Episcopal church rendered the Harmony
club n reception in the church parlors last
Monday evening.
In response to their invitations about $50
Of the members of tho club and their friends
assembled in the parlors, the guests being
received by MIR. and Mrs. E. A. Benson and
MIR. and Mrs. j. II. Mcconnell on behalf Of
the church. After the usual formalities the
social welfare Of the club was looked after,
and each one made to feel thoroughly at
home. Mr.. and Mrs. Martin Calm and MIR.
Burt Butler contributed musical numbers
and the club sang The Miller's Wooing."
Refreshments were served during the even
ing, and at a late hour the guests reluctantly
departed, after fully enjoying the hospitality
and approaching the feeling which prompted
the action on the part of the church board.

The Omaha Orchestral society, under the
dictatorship OF Hans Albert. is making great
progress. ana the concert Wnlcn VIII be given
by them the latter part of January will I'M
doubtedly be the musical event of the eason.
The amateurs, who have been practicing
three times a week, will be at that time as
sisted by the best professionals in the city,
who have kindly signitied their Willingness
to ''help outn on that occasion.
IL Is TO be hoped that the music loving
public will support this organization, as it
would do credit TO any city. Miss Lena
Weber. who will play the G minor concerto of
Mendelssohn, is undoubtedly one of the most
promising young pianists In the country, and
to hear her alone is n musical treat, She
will also play the Caprice Espagniol for a
second number.
MIR. Albert deserves great credit for trying
TO raise the standard OF music in Omaha,
ana the orchestral society under his director
ship will certainly be n revelation. The fol-
lowing program has been selected:

Prot, Steinhauser of this city received q
remarkable compliment last week In the
shape OF a letter from no less a parsonage
than his royal highness, the prince regent
OF Bavaria, Leopold. In this imposing look
Ing document is acknowledged the receipt OF
a march, which Steinhauser had lately com.
posed and dedicated TO Prince Leopold, and
which evidently hit the royal ear about
right. Mr., Steinhauser was for many years
a band leader in the Bavarian army and
considered one OF the best.
