HARPsTRINGs OF THE SOUL.
Music of the Highest Order Exemplifed by
the Swedish Sextette.

Only a medium sized audience was for
tunate in being present at the Beethoven
Maennerchor hall last night to drink in
the flow of melody which was so freely
dispensed for two hours by the Lutteman
SeXtette and the Torbett Opera company.
Great was the surprise and delight of
the fortunate music lovers, however, af
ter the opening numbers and by the time
the end of the program was reached, &c
stacy shone In every face The program
consisted of but nine numbers, but this
can be multiplied by two In every case, as,
for artists as each and every one Of the
company certainly has proven themselves
to be, they were the most gracious and
obliging whom San Antonio has had the
pleasure Of welcoming and in every case
responded to the recall
The lady soloist, Miss Ollie Torbett,
violinist, and Miss Freda de Tersmeden,
quickly captured the audience Miss Tar
bett is peculiarly apt In phrasing, sym
pathetic In every touch OF the strings and
irreproachable in execution. She has a
sweet stage'presence, also Miss Tersmeden
is brilliant, superb In touch and grand in
expression, yet withal does not sacrifice
one note of the delicate sympathy and
melody In which ome of the masters she
followed had thrown their souls.
The sexette is wonder and revela-
tion Of the great powers OF the human
ance. In each number rendered this

BURGLARY DISCOVERED,
And Young Man From Arkansas Now in
the County Jail.

City Detectives Shoaf and Shelly now
haveJ. E. Reed, alias Smith, formerly Of
Arkansas, hard and fast behind the bars,
on charge of being a suspicious charac-
ter, which will develop into well defined
case OF burglary and theft,

about $40 In cash, was taken.
The detectives arrested Reed on sus-
picion, and when the case came to trial
Reed was fined $40. This fine was paid by
some one and Reed was allowed to GO
But he was followed by the officers, as
they desired to know where his room was
located. They had found a key In his
pocket, but IL did not fit any room west OF
the San Pedro, and they were at
fault to know where the stolen
goods were hidden. However, on fol-
lowing him, they found he went to a
room near the Southern Pacific depot and
here they re arrested him and on search.
ing the room recovered one hundred
nocket knives and four six-shoeters

the knowledge that SO many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis

remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal

Over the Nomination of the Boy Orator
of the Platte.

Omaha. July lo.-All Nebraska Is ex-
cited over Bryan's nomination, and In
formal celebrations. with bands playing,
horns footing and excited Democrats yell
ing In a most enthusiastic manner, are
common through Nebraska The excite
ment is most intense In Omaha, though
no formal steps have yet been taken to-
ward a proper celebration. II came too
much as a surprise In Omaha enthu-
siastic crowds gathered in front OF the
newspaper offices 10 watch the bulletins
from the convention. The crowds were
good natured and Democratic, and voiced
their sentiments in continuous and vocif-
erous utterances. The throngs were es-
sentialiy Nebraska crowds. however, for
their utterances were more energetic an1
enthusiastic when Nebraska and It's sister
state Iowa came in for notice in the huile-
.ins which came rapidly over the wires.
When the bulletin announcing Bryans
nomination was posted an old gray-haired
man threw up his hat. and this was the
stgnai for others. and hats were thrown
in the air. men hugged each other, and
such mighty cheer went up as has never
before been heard here. The people
seemed 20 forget themselves in their frenzy
of enthusiasm. and for hours the streets
rescunied with shouts OF Joy.

San Francisco Papers on BRYAN,

San Francisco. July l0-Local papers
make the following comments on Bryan's
nomination.:
The Examiner Dem.l: Whatever differ
ences of opinion may have unhappgly de-
veloped in the councils OF the party in re-
gard 10 politics. there are none in regard
TO the abilities OF the candidate. What
ever questions may arise in regard to.the
issues on which the caEpaign should be
fought, there can be none in regard TO the
fitness of the nominee of rhe convention
TO represent the character and aspirations
of the Democracy. With his youth and
energy and eloQuence he represents the
vigorous life of the West. His nomination
marks the recognition Of the fact that the
seat OF power In the great republic has left
the Atlantic seaboard and crossed the
Mississippi valley: that the energy OF the
West will henceforth overhear the staid
conservatism of the far East. It is a dec
laration of independence. and the battle TO
make Ii good begins today.
The Chronicle lRep.l: The sober second
thought is going 10 be adverse to Bryan.
He is an extremist in al his political
views, but in no sense more so than in
his devotion To the principles Of free trade
An extreme income tax advocate, an ex-
treme states rights man-In fact an ex-
treme and radical Democrat in all that
the phrase implies, Is the man whom the
Chicago convention has presented TO the
,suffrages OF the American people. Such
"a candidate far from meeting the needs
OF the hour, affronts them. challenges
them and pledges himself 10 leave them
.unsa.isfied. The best friends of silver In
both parties do not want bi-metaliism
with free trade. for by that the benefits
of the one policy would be more than
neutralized by the harm done by the
other.
