What seems to be the strongest bill Of
fered at the Trocadero this season Is an
nounced for the coming week, commencing
with a matinee this afternoon. At this
theater will be seen for the first time in
Omaha what Is known as the cycle sensa-
ton, a bicycle race on the stage as the
conclusion to an act in which trick riding
figures prominently. On the stage Is built
a miniature cycle track about twenty-five
feet in diameter and banked till it is, al
most perpendicular. Around this three
riders race, pedaling till they attain a
speed of nearly a mile in two minutes. The
epeed makes their wheels cling to the
track, although the riders are almost In
a horizontal position. In conjunction the
management offers the Blue Bloods bur-
~lesquers in a program Of burlesque and
vaudeville. The two burlesdues are enti-
tied The Bath Beach Girl and 1.-THE Blue
Bloods' Reception" staged p~rettily, while
the chorus Is gowned attractively. In the
olio are Amy Leslie, commedienne; Mel
Vile and Cosgrove, in a sketch, 1.-THE Pro-
fessor in the Madhouse;" Emerson and
Hawley, comedians; Ed Burrill. mono
loguist, and the Harmony Trio in sweet
melody. The Blue Bloods and wheels re-
main the entire week. while next Friday
night will be a repetition Of Rosenthal's
amateur night.

But my friend will object, and will say
to me, And what of the florists" To
whom l reply, there are more farmers than
there are florists. In fact, it is the scare
ity of florists that makes roses cost like

Another subject which is too often
neglected is the poetry Of the world. In
order to be a well-rounded singer, from an
educational standpoint, one should know
something generally about all Of the promi-
nent poets, and should know the best
poems, by acquaintance Herewith through
reading and study, II not memoriter.
One should know Kipling in order to sing
the "Recessional" or Danny Deever;" one

has inaugurated a measure that 1t 10 ex-
peeted will be productive Of great good to
the order generally and of distinct benefit
to the lodges locally. Committees have
been appointed to visit the various lodges

eral fraternal spirit among the members
Of the order In this city.
The committee having in charge the col
ieeting and framing of the photographs OF

conferred by Nebraska lodge No. 1 the castle
hall Will be entirely illuminated In appro-
pirate colors Of the ranks. II is needless
to say that the effect Of such illumination
will be sublime and inspiring.

Musical

One OF the most important and least de-
veloped parts Of n musical education is the
study OF common, ordinary English. There
is many a singer otherwise fairly we'll
equipped. who cannot correctly phrase an
ordinary English ballad. There are many,
many students who can talk about regis

til the day of judgment, and II you were to

The great necessity for preparation in
grammar. spelling and a knowledge of or
binary standard English literature cannot
be overestlmated. / have known singers
to lose engagements through the bad effect
produced by the letter of application.
A great many people seem to think hat
musical education is in itself an education.
True, to some extent. But underneath IL
must have a well laid stratum Of common
school education. and II a college course
can be added thereto, so much the better.

ration would not be productive OF much

the musicians meet together and discuss
the matter with the managers OF the vaTi-
Gus attractions. and let each musician agree
to sell so many tickets, or procure so many
good subscriptions. This would make the
burden easy for each one. and through
their pupils. almost all Of the influential
families would be directly reached.

his or her profession in Omaha, such a
combination could bring anything to the

country. which would rebound to the glory
and credit Of Omaha.

comedy one, as It shows the human wolves

of the fir growth covering them. The seem
