The courier. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1894-1903, 1901-10-05

A large organ holds a note and
lets go Of it reluctantly, and thus is
peculiarly fitted to hymns and the
solemn tunes whose movement is slow.
For this reason it is somewhat diff
cult to interest large number of
people in organ music.
Mr.. Buffers reputation and public
which Mrs. P.V.M. Raymond has edu-
Gated into an appreciation of the pos
sibilities of organ music filled the
lower floor Of the large university
chapel. ChOpin's Funeral March was
Orchestrally impressive. This magnifi-
cent march which begins with tones
of stricken, hopeless detection and
rises to paean Of triumph over the
grave and mortality, Mr.. Butler played
with deep con siction of Chopin's
meaning. The March Militaire was
interpreted with the precision, sure
ness and brilliancy characteristic Of
this musicians work. Miss Turner,
who has voice Of great power and
sweetness, sang "To Sevilla" and
"With Verdure Clad" She was re-
called twice and sang very artistically
and with much musical feeling 'Loch
LomOnd" and an April song.
Mr.. Butler plays the piano as we'll
as he does the organ, which, in an or
ganist, is a rare accomplishment.
Persons with no taste in particular
and no education in particular listen
to his interpretations OF Schumann,
Schubert, Beethoven and Chopin with
pleasure and profit directly the re-
suit Of abe interpreters sympathy and
knowledge. As composer Mr.. But
Ter is not without distinction. and he
renders his appropriations with the
added fervOr always inherent in the
creations of ones own mind. The pro-
gram is appended:

nique and musical taste conquered,
and the evening was one Of unusual
enjoyment to the large number Of
musicians present. The organ is the
most solemn instrument there is.
If there were no churches the moment
a masters hand touched the keys
which sends the air rushing through
the big reeds everybody who heard
would Immediately begin to think of
very solemn things: religion, death,
resurrection. and be moved by I'M

Dora Osden, q domestic employed in
the horne of Mr.. and Mrs. Max Krus-
kopf at No. 10 West Lincoln street, was
terribly burned at 10 o'clock this fore
noon by her clothing catching fire from
Il red-hot cinder she had removed from
the furnace. The burns. which cover
her hips, back and hands, are most SCI
sere but not necessarily fatal.
Miss Osden went to the basement Of
the Kruskopf home at 10 O'Clock to at
tend to the furnace fire. a large clink-
rr had formed and this she removed and
ltnrew to one side. Red hot Goals were
lclinging to ii and as she turned away
from the furnace the back portion of
her skirt came in contact with the Goals
and ignited. Several seconds elapsed be-
fore Miss Osden became aware of her
l.rredicament, the first ntimaton of her
danger being conveyed to her by the
smell of burning cloth.
Miss Osden attempted to extlnguish
the flames with her hands and at the
same time ran up stairs In her excite
ment she grabbed Mrs. Kruskopf. thus
lcndangering her. The latter attempted
| to assist the girl and in doing so 1er
cwn clothing was burned in several
places. Miss Osden then rushed out OF
doors. and her cries attracted the at
tention of Roy Lehman. who makes his
home with his uncle. Mr.. r. S. kauf
mann, whichis near by. Young Lehman
hurried to the assistance Of Miss Osden.
Taking off his coat he wrapped it about
her person and thus succeeded in sub
