than Richard Mansfield In the loose brown
suit, cloth slippers and neck 'kerchief that
he wears In his coy car. Under the pros

himself prefers. And these are not swords
and armor and jewellers. but books and
fowers and-work! Work, always work!
From morning until night he digs for the
things that will aid him to do better thai
which he undertakes.
Gray is streaking his thin hair now and
the high forehead has here and there a
faint furrow, but still he digs, and the
treasures that he finds In the worlds liter
allure keep his dark eyes aglow and his soul
buoyant. His face Is full, his hin firm and
his smiles play freely as a boys. The
voice that has thrilled our hearts as have
few others is gentle In Its salutation to q
caller and the arms that have waved the
Gascons to battle, kings armies to victory
and the gamblers Of Bath to retreat per-

Since the first theaber was built In
Omaha there has not been a better theatri-
cal season and very few as good in every
way as the one OF 1912, which was brought
to a close Friday night Of last week. The
list OF attractions included nearly all OF
the great stars Of the American stage, as
we'll as several prominent ones from
abroad. There we're very few nights dur
ing the entire season when there was not
some attraction at the legitimate theater
and rot a night between the middle Of Sep
TENDER and the first Of May when vaude-
Vile entertainment was not to be had at
the Orpheum.
The season opened at the Boyd on Sep
TENDER 6, the opening attraction being
"Florodora," the most successful musical
comedy of the last few years. Naturally
the theater was crowded to the limit Of its
seating capacity at each OF the three per-
formances OF the piece. The closing at
traction, when Reuben Comes to Town"
while not anticipated with any great
amount Of pleasure, proved almost as mag
netic as the seasons opening attraction,
filling the theaRr at each Of the two per-
formances given OF 1t. 1t proved a disap-
pointment in every way, being the least
meritorious OF any Of the musical attrac-
tions OF the season.
Between the opening and closing dates
such prominent players and plays as fol.
lows were presented by the management;

headed by Margaret Anglin and Charles

At last a man has been found who has
decided business ability, an unbounded
faith in Omaha's musical %futurity, and an
intense interest in the building up of local
resources.
His name is Alfred Marschner and his
latest move is the establishment of a Musi-
cal Bureau, which bears his name, and
which will enroll the names Of only the
best in musical prominence hereabouts and
will arrange to sell their services In and
around Omaha.
The benefits will be two-fold, for the
best artists will receive much advertis-
ing, to which they are entitled, and many
engagements, and then the Marschner Musi-
cal Bureau will secure for Omaha artists
a large amount Of patronage, which Is going
outside, while the goods could be furnished
just as we'll in Omaha. I bespeak for Mr..
Marschner and his bureau the hearty CO.
operation Of all musicians and musical So
c~ieties. He has ability, brains. capital and
faith, and after all, the last is h we
musicians need and have been looking for
a man with faith in US and in our possibili-
ties.

erty to the Jersey City presbytery for the
nominal consideration of 81.
1.-THE church was dedicated in 1890. 1t was
built by George r. Mckenzie, who at that
time was president Of the Singer Sew
ing Machine company, and who died in
1895, leaving a fortune Of $5,OO0,0O The
edihce cost 10000. After It was COM
pleted, Mr.. Mckenzie conveyed It to the
congregation. The deed contained a stipu-
lation that neither organ, piano, nor any
musical instrument should ever be played
in the church"
Now 1t certainly did seem only proper
that Mr.. Mckenzie, president Of the Singer
Sewing Machine company should build a
church out Of the profits Of a "slnger" COM
pany and declare that no instrument"
should be used. 1 think that my friend Is
u~njustly harsh In this instance. The man
made his money out OF slnger-machines,
therefore his church should have none but
singer-machines. Isn't that sew?
The church could not get along without
rum music and had to close up.
Well, what Of that? Didn't Mr.. Mckenzie
have his way? 1t was a fight between Mr..
| Mckenzie, who hated music, Except OF
certain limited kinds), and Nature who
implants in most of her children an inner
emit love of all kinds Of music. And Mr..
Mckenzie won out, in this case.
The church is sold for a dollar, the donor
is dead, and dear old Mother Nature lives
on, and says to birds and hearts and men
and women and children, and organs and
harps and ~violins, and to all other instru-
ments capable of making music: Sing on,
my children, sing on, and let the whole
earth be filled with music. For as my
child-poet Sydney Lanier once said Music
is Love In search Of a word Sing on!"

KANSAS POPUL|STS
MEET ONCE AGAIN
SENATOR HARRIS PAYS A SPLENDID
TRIBUTE TO THE STATESMAN
SHIP OF MCKINLEY,
lBY ASSOCIATED PRESS.


Topeka, Kan, June 24.-At 10 o'clock
Senator Harris, as temporary chairman,
called the popuist convention to order.
large number of delegates were pres
ent and the majority seem to favor fusion,
but the basis on which it shall be accom-
plishcd is wherein the delegates differ.
Some want combine with the democrats.
others double ticket and few straight
tickets.
All of the leading democrats of the state
are here and will confer with popuist lead
ers throughout the day.
One element of the party insists that
two tickets must be placed in nomination
to test the anti-fusion law.
Upon assuming the chairmanship of the
convention, Senator Harris proceeded upon
a review Of the history of the rise of the
popuist party.
He brought a cheer from the demo-
Gratis when he announced that the ma
tional policy of the democratic party would
continue as at present. Senator Harris
paid splendid tribute to President Nc
kinley and added:
Once he nearly convinced me that I
should leave democracy and become a re-
publican"
a recess was taken.
