Under the auspices of the Matinee
Musicale, a club Of Lincoln women who
have agreed together to foster music.
the love and knowledge of it. quartette
Of singers sang on Monday evening,
January twenty-nine, some OF Omar
Khayyam's Rubaiyat. 1t was the sec
ond artists recital given by this notable
club, which is actually doing something
mot content with mere talking) to make
this prairie part of the world more
beautiful, more worth living in. To
foster the love of music among barbara
ans who prefer "a Hot Time the club
gives every year several artists recitals,
which supplement the fortnightly re-
citals by the active members of the club
The Matines Musicale has begun to
attain the object of its existence for
in spite Of the general objection to
everything but the crudest and most
primitive combinations of sounds and a
frequently expressed unfavorable opin-
ion Of classical music" the husbands
and brothers and beaux who accom-
pany the members to the recitals are
beginning to show an appreciation of
what, they profess to be bored by. The
members Of the club give time, money
and energy to music because their own
understanding has been enlarged, and
their spirits quickened by the untrans-
lstable message Of music. We, who are
outside will always be outside but they
may, by strenuous effort, draw us near
the borderland where we may dimly
comprehend the world they live in.
The concert on Monday evening be
gan with some miscellaneous numbers
by Mr.. Runcie, Mrs. Fullerton, Mr..
Farrell and Mrs. Weskley. 1t is GUS
tomary to speak of the bell-like quality
Of certain singers voice, comparing it
to the vibrations of the melted bronze,
silver, iron and gold that leave the air
a-quiver wher the sound has ceased.
The smile never translated itself, TO
one listener, till Monday night when
Mrs. Weakley sang "NobiI Signor."
Without effort, and with a tender note
that would melt anything but a signor
in an opera whose role forbade yielding,
Mrs. Weakley won the hearts and all
the applause of the audience. Mrs.
Fullerton's soprano was clear and fexi-
BILE. With more effort, she sang the
swallow and her darting, soaring, diving
notes were onomatopes of the swallows
fight. Mr.. Farrell, sang BLOW, blow
thou winter wind" with Shaksperian
simplicity and directness. His bass
voice is cunningly trained and he has
studied effects in Shakspere. Mr.. Run
Gle. the tenor sings like every other
member of the quartette with instinc-
i've delicacy and the happiest shading.

dissertation on the life Of Omar in the
eleventh century and upon the life II
Edward Fitzgerald Of the nineteenth
who translated few of the five hun
dred epigranmatic stanzas that Omar
wrote. MIR. Ranpolph's introduction
was very graceful and exceedingly in
teresting.
The reflective, hopeless, impassioDed
gentleuess of the Fitzgerald version Of
Omar set to music by Nine. Liza Leh-
mann was alphabetically sung by the
artists. When the sorrowful, musical
words. that were written for the pur-
pose OF impressing upon mankind the
constant tragedy Of living, are sung the
mournfulness of life that keeps, oozing
like wine drop by drop reaches the
heart and makes it culver in truer pre-
monition of the moment it will stop.
Music and poetry are impressively unit
ed IN the Persian Garden. The testi
mony of perfect silence and solemn
faces to the truth and power OF Omar
verses and the adequate Interpretation
of the singers, convinced me that Lin
coin people through the minIstrations
of the music-loving are beginning to
like classical music. Mrs. p V. M.
RAYMOND accompanied the voices on
the piano with perfect comprehension
of the music, and the need Of the
singers.
Father Rnade gave dinner at the

candelabra on the table and nantes.

doors and covered the chandeliers and

Hnrbcr Who Makes About $4,000 "A
Year From Four Customers.
Thomas Whalen shaves four million
aires a day. lie makes the round Of
tier residences every morning and
uses his own fast PAGER to save time.
They all pay him liberal salary, and
in three hours each morning he earus
more than the average barber does in
four days.
Mr.. Whalen's clients are 7. d. Ar
mour, s. vs.. Allerton Marshall Field
and y. X. Falrbank. They employ him
10y the year, and his salary continues
whether they are in Europe, New York,
California or Chicago. His contract
calls FOR Il daily shave in Chicago, and
if the mlllionaires' clins are not to be
found Whnleu is not the sufferer. Ills
'pull'' is said to be of the gentlret, but
his fellow BARRIERS declare 1t Is very
strong, aud besides the salary he gets
there is always liberal Christmas
present.
The scale OF salaries paid is as fol-
lows; Mr.. Armour, SIS month; Mr..
Field, $50; Mr.. Alerton. $50, and Mr.
Fairbank, $50. All of these gentlemen
have their private barber shops, and
MI Whalen has the running Of them.
He keeps each supplied with the finest
ra2Ors. shears, strops. soaps, mugs and
otlfer requisites of first class ton
serial parlor. He knows the turn Of
every whiskcr Of his patrons. and there
is never any kick about razors with n
pull"
His labors begin early. Mr.. Armour's
home Is his first stopping place, though
recently, during that gentleman's resi-
depce In California. he has not been
getting mp so carly. Mr.. Armour has
always shaved by 6 o'clock and often
earlier. From there 1t Is only block
to Mr. Fields Prairie avenue mansion.
and Just across the street. little to
the south. he finds Mr.. AllcrtOn ready
for his daily scrape. But to reach Mr..
Falrhnnk he must make big jump to
the North Side. and his fast PAGER
comes In good use. Cars are too uncer-
tain and Mr.. Fairbnnk cannot be kept
waiting or disappointed, and before 8
o'clock Whaicn Is at the Lake Shore
drive residence, rendy for Mr.. Fair
bank TO come to the private barber
shop.
Tom Whn,en Is one of the best
known BARRIERS In Chicago. He has
made n competency ont Of his work,
and his income now Is by no means
l,eggnrly averaging close to $1,000 for
the year. Ills last shop WAS in the
MotKodlst church block. This he sold
several years ago. lie now devotes
his attention TO the four millionaire
customers and several fine horses.-

Warden John b. Catron arrived here yes
terday to attend to matters In the dis
trict court, and returned last night. In
an interview at the Rainier-Grand he ex-
planned the new condition OF affairs. OF
which he. is very proud.
1--WE now have 352 prisoners at the PEN

working In smooth shape. We have just
completed our new dining room, and have
begun to use It. The building is 160x4l feet.
with twenty-six-foot ceiling. 1t has
capacity for seating $40 at meal, and Is
a vast Improvement on the old system of
passing food into the corridors in big
tin pan.
"A rigid dining room discipline has been
established. When the gong sounds for
meal hours the men fall in line and march
1ock-step to the hall. One hand Of each
prisoner is on the shoulder OF the pre-
ceding man and the other at the belt. AS
the column files into the hall each man
goes to his own place and stands, with
his arms folded, until all are in the room
and standing at their places Then, at
the sound of the gong, seats are taken and
eating begins simultaneously. Fifteen
minutes are allowed to finish the meal, and
all file out in order. There is not q word
spoken during the meal. The only sound
that breaks the silence Is the click Of the
knives and forks.

sufficient to keep our works going at full
capacity. This can only be done when we
have 400 and over. In the jute mill. where
we manufacture stripes, prisoners cloth

eighty-five men. We are not operating the
brickyard on account of a lack of men,
