t0lneQ no n60vy NUMBERS. Inc caotaJdi
the ''Roee of Avontown" is a new work
by one OF the most prominent American
composers. Mrs. H. H. A. Beach 1t
wss conducted by Mrs. P. v. NJ Ray
mond, and the charming solo was sung
by Mrs. Marion Treat Taylor. The
singers appeared on the stage in groups
cf three. The songs Of the first group
were sung respectively by Miss Turner
and Miss Reynolds, members OF the
Matinee Musicale club, and Mrs john
son of Crete, singer Of warmth and
feeling. In the second group we're Mrs.
Warren Of Columbus, Mrs. Bush OF
Wahoo and Miss Clara Ferrenberg, rep
resenting Fremont. Miss Ferrenberg
has light and flexible soprano voice Of
sweet, vivacious quality. In an operatio
number she would have appeared TO
even greater advantage.
Miss Emily Perkins gave two piano
numbers, a Brassin Nocturne and LA
Campanells," in which she justified the
enthusiastic expectations Of her friends
by her brilliant technique.
Miss Silence Dales played two move
ments from Mendelssohn's beautiful
violin concerto.
A "Spring song" by the same charm
ing vocal quartet who had appeared the
previous evening, completed the pro-
gram. The efficient accompanies were
Mrs. Wurzburg. Miss Rice. Miss Givens
and Mrs. Boyd of Fremont.
The artists recital Wednesday evening
was brilliant ending Of the festival.
The combination Of voice. piano and
harp afforded unusual variety. Miss
Mary Louise Clary has a contralto voice
of tremendous power, depth and rich
ness Her numbers were trifie heavy
and sombre. 1t was regretted that she
did not furnish lighter song for an en-
core. Oratorio music is best suited to
her voice, but her dramatic interpreta
ton of "Angus Mcdonald" was one Of
the best things on the program.
The enthusiastic applause bestowed
upon Mrs. Stella Hadder Alexander
is not often accorded to pianist. The
poetic fire of ber playing took the audi
ence by storm. Her marvellous strength
and unusual technique were momen-
tarily forgotten in the dramatic fervor OF
her interpretations. Mrs. Alexander
will be heard in recital before leaving
Lir coin.
The novelty and beauty Of the harp
won for Miss Mildred Webber several
recalls. No other instrument is as
sweet, but its limitations are great. The
beauty o. the strains Of Nearer My God
to Thee" showed the special adaptability
Of the harp for its ancient position in
church services.
Mrs. P. v. NJ. Raymond was once
more the accompanist.
The courage OF the Matinee Musicale
in ircurring 90 heavy q responsibility
has not been fully appreciated by the
people OF Lincoln. In spite Of the draw
backs OF weather and war excitement,
the festival may be considered a success.
The programs were artistic and expenses
will be met. No decision has been
reached in reference to q permanent
plan for May festivals. Artists pro-
gram:
a. Aria, "Nobil Signor," Les Hugue-
nots, Meyerbeer; b. Old Italian song.

Clary.

MUSICAL MENTION.

The second May Festival Of the Mat
nee Musicale opened on Tuesday eveninl
at the Oliver with an operate program
composed largely OF vocal and instru
mental numbers from the standar'
operas. Numerous songs at both tn
afternoon and evening performances
celebrated the charms OF spring with ii
love, flowers and birds. but neglected it
chief spring blessing. the rain. Thi
was bounteously supplied by natur'
throughout the festival. The audience
though not large at the first two con
certe, was sympathetic and warmly ap
preciative Of the excellent programs
Mrs. Will Owen Jones was the only Lin
coin soloist who appeared "Wednesday
evening. and the exquisite and artistic
finish of her piano numbers elected the
greatest praise from the visitors. Miss
Nora Babbit OF CrestoL sang the diff.
cult aria from the Barber Of Seville, ,
and also supplied another number at
short notice. Miss Babbit is remem.
bered rs q young singer whose clear
sweet voice was thoroughly enjoyed at
last wears festival. Mrs. Cameron OF
Omaha came unheralded and took the
audience by storm. Her winning per.
souality aroused as great interest as her
beautiful voice. She is young singer
with few years vocal training. Her
execution is rot Il ultless. but the sweet
meas and charm Of her voice ensures her
a popularity. She responded to a
double encore.
The concerted work was very fine.
The blending OF the voices in the quar-
tet Of Lincoln ladies. and Of the strings
in the .Othellor rumber. left nothing to
be desired.
Miss May Rees Of Hastings showed q
gain Of interpretative skill in her violin
numbers.
The Omaha chorus of fifty ladies
directed by Mrr. Cotton was heard with
the greatest interest. The two numbers
given showed The fine training received
from the director and the excellent
quality Of the voices.
In the inspiring closing number, the
"Pilgrim's chorus" the Lincoln chorus
was strengthened by individual singers
and choruses from Omaha, Fremont,
Grand Island, Crete. Wahoo and Hast
inps. The Philharmonic string orches-
ira added to the beauty Of this number.
Mrs Raymond was presented with beau
tiful roses at ITS close as graceful token
OF the appreciation of the chorus. The
program in full was as follows:

Currency of the Future.
The question of the future currency of the
is,ands is one which Is ofCvital Importance
IN all husiness men in the islands. The best
Informed men in Manila are unanimous in
their opinion that under present conditions
the silver currency isSthesonly one suited to
the islands. A great deal Of the trade of
the Philippines is with CHINA and Japan,
the Strait Settlements, India and Australia.
In China and Japan and in India the whole
trade is on silver basis. sthough Japan has
adopted the gold standard, having, however,
the basis of its currency Il gold dollar
which is approximately worth only 30 cents.
and its currency therefore IN effect is on :.
silver basis, the same as China and India.
The natives of the Phillppine Islands are
conservative to degrees in the matter of
their currency, ana IL "oulo pe long and
tedious task to educate them to dollar
which would be worth twice that now in
circulation. Notwithstanding the Ameri-
cans have a force of $4,000 soldiers in Ma
Mia who are paid in gold, the people of the
islands will have nothing but silver All of
the soldiers when they are paid in gold take
their money to one of the banks and eX-
change it for local currency. The native
will take the Mexican dollar, worth less
than 30 cents in gold, in preference to the
United States dollar, worth 100 cents. Any
change in the coinage will require time for
the natives to become accustomed to 1t be-
fore it will be accepted readily. If the
United States retains the Philippine Islands
a special coinage CT silver dollars might be
minted for circulation in the archipelago,
| the same as the British dollar has been put
in circulation in the Strait Settlements in
Hong Kong and in, other ports where Brit
ish interests predominate-
The Philippine Islands are rich in natural
products, and under favorable laws, and

he said: "The laws of neutrality

STARBOARD AND PORT.
Origin of These Terms of Which
We Hear So Much.


We Hear So Much.
The origin of the words " starboard'
and larboard," rs used in the nauti-
cal vocabulary, has been attributed to
the italian words questa borda, mean
ing this side" and quella borda,
I" that side" says Casters Magazine.
Abbreviated, these two phrases appear
as sta borda and la borda, and by cor
ruption of languages were soon rem
dered starboard" and larboard" by
British sailors. These two words
sound so much alike that frequent
errors and accidents occurred, and
years ago, therefore, the use of "lar-
board" was discontinued and "port"
was substituted.
A correspondent OF that journal has
made the point that the former term
has been in use in the English
language from a remote period, oc-
curing in Anglo-Saxon as "stear-
board" while in later times it was
written sterboard," from which it
developed into its modern form, "star-
board" 1t originally meant, so the
correspondent says, the board, or side
of the ship on which the man who
steered it was placed. 1t may be
called a native English word as dis
tinguished from one of imported
origin, and it possesses a special in
terest in indication OF the method of
propelling and steering in vogue from
very early times. The ancient
mariner could run before the wind
with his single square sail, but he
could deviate only few points on
either side. Unless, therefore, the
direction of the wind agreed with the
course of the vessel, it was necessary
for him to be in constant readiness to
modify his direction by the help of the
oar. The illustrations of early Eng.
lish manuscripts and the later figures
of tapestries exemplify the old square
rig, with auxiliary oars and steering
from the side. In these examples one
or more heavy oars are used at the
bow and on one side only; while the
course is kept by steersman with a
lighter, and often paddle-shaped oar
worked near the stern, and invariably
on the starboard side of the ship
This method of rowing survived until
recent times, and was well shown Oh
the coal "keels," which added SC
picturesque a feature to the naviga'
ton of the river Tyne. These vessels
were managed by crews consisting OF
three men and boy; they had q
single square sail, and carried some &c
odd tons of coal. When unable to run
before the wind, resort was had to row.
ing, and this was done by single
heavy bow oar, worked on the port side
by two men and boy, while the
skipper kept the course, rowing in
time with a lighter oar, called q
I" swape," from the stern on the star.
board side. The fixed rudder, hinged
from the stern post and operated by a
tiller, was later development in ship
construction. The Tyne "keel
exemplifies the earlier practice of our
ancestors in steering by an oar from
the right side OF the ship, and from
this comes the designation for that
side as the "steer side," or starboard.
