MUSIC.
EaEnaaNaga&TwaNpEaMs

One of the most hopeful signs in the devel-
opment of the musical interests OF a com.
munity is the awakening of the amateur mu-
stefan to a sense Of the pleasure and profit
to be derived from the pursuit OF the study
of the art.
Professional musicians can do but little
after all in the arousing OF an impulse art
wards. They may give ~recitals, bring art
lists to the city for concerts, organize choral
societies, orchestras and clubs. but with
meager results. AS a prominent business
man remarked the other day, "Omaha people
are afraid that one Of you musicians will
make a little profit on some OF your con-
~certs.' While this may seem a little harsh
on the people Of Omaha, there is a sem
blance OF truth in it, The natural develop
ment of this thought is that when the pro-
fessional musician undertakes TO produce
anything good there is connected with it a
commercialism which is offensive to those
who believe that music is only a luxury, and
a luxury for which one must cultivate a
taste, consequently a luxury which many
people have not time to educate themselves
to.
There are, of course, many who love mu-
sic naturally, many who have learned to love
it and many more who are anxious to learn
to love it. For all of these people the mu-
sicians are truly thankful.
But when the amateurs band themselves
together then there is hope for a bright
future. They can organize musical enter
tainments, and they can give musicales, and
can collect material and financial help. and
the people smile in approval. Music is then
a pastime and it is placed before the world
in its true light, namely, a thing Of beauty
and a Joy forever, Hail TO the amateur!
In this connection the following letter is
printed. 1t was sent to many OF the profess
sionai musicians during the last week and
as 1t explains itself no further Comment is
necessary:
Musicians who are interested in this ven
ture can send their names and addresses
TO the music department Of The Bee, or 10
the address OF the gentleman who has
started this musical missionary effort. ana
who says:
Dear Sir: The writer, as well as several
other amateur musicians, have for some tine
now been trying 10 organize a musical club

men and two women. Other feats are said
10 be marvellous. They speak no English

The Dronzo brothers are Americans who do
an act, consisting of acrobatic feats from
within one barrel into another. The barrels
are ordinary -four barrels. This pair was
seen here early this season with Primrose &
Dockstader's Ministries as a feature OF the
show. GiaCuita Della Rocca. one OF the
foremost concert yiolinistes Of the times, will
be a pleasing feature for the women and
the musically inclined. II is said that she
plays diyinely, has a majestic personality
and great beauty. Charles ]. Slime and
Ollie Evans, both OF whom forsook the
legitimate for vaudeville and both Of whom
are we'll known in Omaha, will be seen in a
one-act comedy entitled "A Frisky Doctor"
II is said to be a most amusing bit. The

Representative at Paris.

The resolution that Mrs. Manning should
represent the Daughters OF the American
Revolution at the Paris exposition in 1900
voiced the universal opinion Of the con-
gress. It is needless to say that Mrs.
Manning has won the esteem Of every mem
Der Of the congress by her unfailing cour-
tesy.
One Of the amendments adopted by the
congress provides that "eX-oficers may at
tend the congress, but shall not participate
in its deliberations" II this rule Is recog-
nized in the chapters it will have a tend
ency to reyolutionize the affairs OF most
societies, whose business matters have been
entrusted to the same officers from year to
year. At the same time It seems a harsh
measure and was hardly deserved by women
who have faithfully served the society as
active officers.

Cheers for western Woman.

Mrs. Clement A. Lounsberry of North
Dakota was that states sole representative
az the congress. When she came upon the
stage to deposit her ballot she received an
ovation from the audience because she had
come so far to represent her chapter, and
was preceded by ninety-four delegates from
an eastern state. Mrs. Lounsberry was
elected state regent OF North Dakota. She
is we'll known and pleasantly remembered
in Omaha as the wife and widow OF the late
Colonel Harry BrOwnson.
The congress has brought together many
women Of prominence, and in the audience
were many congressman, senators and for
eign ministers. The English ambassador
occupied a box and was an interested spec,
tator.
The widow OF stonewall Jackson
was in attendance at the congress and was
introduced to the audience by Miss Temple
of Tennessee. All present rose as q token
of welcome to the widow Of the noted south
ern general. She was a much more youth
full appearing woman than ! had expected

Mrs. Mary s. Lockwood, editor of the
American Monthly Magazine, was much in
terested in the proposed Greater America
Exposition, and when the invitation had
been given the national society to attend
she promptly moved that the invitation be
accepted with thanks. Mrs. Sara T. Kin
ney, state regent Of Connecticut, seconded
the nation, which was finally carried
unanimously, after Mrs. Donald Mclean,
regent of the New York City chapter, had
spoken in favor Of the motion.

of light comic opera than the evolution of his

particularly rich and sonorous in concerted
harmony.
There are three comic songs for

topical duet for Mr., De Angels and Harry
Macdonough, his assistant fun maker: two
songs each for the marquis, Yvette and verve;
duos, trios and one quintet. A graceful,

This year the congress met in the Grand
opera house, that had been artistically
decorated with American flags, palms and
flowers, which, with the gowns and hats of
the members Of the congress, made a bril-
liant and never to be forgotten scene.
The Peace Jubilee celebration. held on the
second evening of the session, was a
magnificent sight and a grand success.
Every seat in the house was occupied, while
hundreds of persons stood in the aisles.
A part of the program which was of more
than special interest was a paper by Mrs.
Roberts of Pennsylvania on the Work Of
the Daughters of the American Revolution
in the War Mrs. Roberts is a very gentle,
dignifed woman with snow white hair and
possesses a clear. sweet voice which claimed
for her the close attention which her care
fully prepared paper so well merited.
Hon. John L. Grifiths of Indiana spoke
eloquently of the work of the Soldier of
the War" He told OF the efficient work Of
the volunteers and did not forget to pay a
tribute to the regular soldier, who by his
faithfulness and training frequently turned
what might have been a rout into a tri-
umph."
