may oe acceptable. It opens with the sedate Gothic-like Pilgrims chorus
 which serves as an introduction. rms Is at first given out in a subdued, chant
 like manner, and afterYard expanded into a majestic anthem. with melody
 in the brass and singularly weird, shim- mering connter-lgure in the violins. The first theme of the main body of the
 Overture is the Tannhaueser motive
 which will be heard In the vlolas and clarinets against high, trembling figure in the violins.
 The second theme is the sweeping song of love which Tannhacuser sings at the contest in the aWrtburg castle. The melody Is in the violns, with an accom- paniment scored for full orchestra, with out the trombones.
 After an intense development, which halts for moment to make way fcT Venus enticing song return is made to the Pilgrims chorus at first softly and solemnly, and then swelling into the mighty bacon which brings the Overture to a close.
 Suite Opus 46. "Peer Gynt" No.1
 Edward H. Grieg.
 Born June 15, at Bergen, Norway.
 This Suite is made of four of the sev- eral movements of incidental music which Grieg wrote for Henrik lDsen dramatic poem, Peer Gynt." The remaining num- bers are grouped together in the Peer Gynt" Suite No. 2, Opus 55. 1bsen's poem was written in 1867 and may be summar- ized as follows
 DThe character of Peer Gynt is taken from a Norwegian folk-legend He is sort of Norsk Faust, man destined to he lured on to destruction by his over wealth of imagination unless he be saved by woman. In the play Peer Gynt is peasant boy, whose parents have seen better days; but the father is dead. and mother and son are now living in eX- treme poverty. The boys head teens with ideas and he forms many grand nlans for the future. He makes his moth- ar his confidant and she, though not hlind to the fantastic wildness of his ways and schemes, cannot help believing in him. His youthful arrogance is un- bounded. He goes to a wedding and car rien off the young bride to the mountains where he afterwards deserts her. Roam inc about through the night he meets a narty of frolicscme dairy-maids At last he finds refuge in the halls of the king of the Dovre mountains; here he falls in Iova wttt the kings daughter. but is

 The Skeleton In Armour. Arthur Foote
 MT. Foote was born in Salem, Massa- chusetts. and received all his training in Boston, where he still resides. Of his Skeleton in Armour" Mir Hughes says:
 "It Is an elaborate setting of Longfel- lows poem, and is full of vigor and gen. orally sturdy in treatment especially in its descriptions of viking war and sea- fering. The storm scenes, as in MT. Foote's Wreck of the Hesperus,' seem faintly to suggest Wagnerian. Donner und Blitzen,' but in general Mir Foote has resisted the universal tendency to copy the manncrisms so many take to be the real essence of the Bayreuthian. A pretty bit of fancy is the use of spin mng- wheel accompaniment to the love song. Indeed the spinning is treated as a characteristic motif for the No seman's bride. somewhat as it is Senta's motif in The Flying Dutchman."

Cantata
Fair Ellen.

Fair Ellen. .. .....' '...Ca"'aea
 Max Bruch was born in Cologne Ger many, January G, 1888. His musical power developed very early, for by the time he was fourteen he had already written upwards of seventy compositions
 Bruch delighted in war-like subjects, and Fair Ellen is such an one.
 Fair Ellen," is based on well known story of the great Sepoy rebellion in In dia. Among those shut up in the Britisn Residency of Lucknow during its siege by the Sepoys was a Scotch girl, Jessie Brown who before the arrival of Sir Colin Campbell to their relief, cried ou,' ''Dinna ye hear the sioganY and in sisted that she heard the pipes playing The Campbells are Comin'.' The Camp cells did come the siege was raised, and the little garrison was saved from the horrcls of Cawnpore; but it must be con ceded that heroine and incident are alike | Actions. The bagpipes were heard but ! not til the Highlander who played them [ had got into the Residency; he was Tn among the first.

TESTIMONY OF A
CARVED TORTOISE SHELL
Pension Claimant Sends Curious
Voucher in Support or His
Claim.

LONDON, Oct 25.-United States
Consul Evans forwarded to the pen
sion bureau in Washington this week
what is probably the most curious
voucher of Identification ever filed in a
pension case. The voucher consists of
the shell of field tortoise with the
name Bob Williams" scratched on the
under side. 1t was sent to Consul
General Evans from Christ church,
New Zealand, where the applicant for
a pension is now living, and is accom-
panied by letters and aff1davits, which
explain that the soldiers real name
is William Wright, but that he enlist
ed under the name Of Williams.
Wright, or Williams, says, in his ap-
plcation, that he caught the tortoise
during the Shenandoah campaign and
afterward gave the shell to Mrs. Henry
Johnson, of Port Henry, Essex county,
n. Y, who kept it until recently, when
Wright decided to apply for pension
and sent to New York for the shell in
order to identify himself as Williams,
under which name he served in Com
pany E, One Hundred and Nfnety-sec-
ond New York infantry. The curious
document was addressed to Consul
General Evans (who was formerly
commissioner of pensions at Washing
tcn), personally, and was forwarded to
him from Washington by mistake. Mr..
Evans returned it to the pension office
without comment.

IN THE MUSIC WORLD.

The public generally will regret the
abandonment of the Y. M. C. A. series
of entertainments, but to music lovers
particularly has the announcement
caused regret, for the course was to
bring to st. Paul two great vocal art
lists besides quartette of lesser muSi-
clans who fill important positions i'll
the musical world. Nine. Schunmann-
Heink in her two visits TO this city es-
.tablished high place for herself in
the affections of those who reverence
a great gift, who love a splendid art
and who appreciate these all he more
when they are united with a thorough
ly womanly personality such as Nine.
Schumann-Heink possesses. Compan-
ari, the baritone, has heretofore been
the musical mountain who has refused
to visit provincial Mahomets however
jealous they might be in their worship
of the art he represents. But the Y. NJ.
c.. A, it seemed, had accomplished the
impossible and the mountain graciously

agreed-for a fat consideration-to
come to Mahomet. The sordid consid-
GRAFTON of dollars and cents, however,
has stepped in and the journey will not
be made Of the lesser lights there
was George Hamlin, a tenor whom st.
paul delights to honor with attention
and applause; w. c.. E. Seeboeck, the
pianist; Sue Harrington burbank, the
contralto, and John Van Cordt, the vi
olinist, all of whom, surely, are worth
a sigh of regret.
However, regrets are-worse than use
less and if st. Paul music lovers can
not hear great artists, at least it will
have the satisfaction of knowing that
it possesses what will probably be the
finest church auditorium in the North
west and one Of the finest pipe organs.
And this auditorium will by no means
be dark this winter in spite of-the fact
that the Y. NJ. c.. A. has declined to
use it.. The women Of the church are
planning to give a large concert after
the dedicatory exercises which, by the
way, will be especially elaborate and
which will take up an entire week.
For the concert which will formally
open, in a musical way, the new audi
forum, a fine programme is being ar
ranged. The furnishings Of the church
when all in place will cost $4,000 Two
thousand Of this amount has been con-
tributed and by means Of the concert
the women of the church hope to raise
the remaining $4,000. Negotiations are
already on foot to secure a great vo-
calist and a great organist, but lest
failure to secure either or both should
cause the public another pang Of regret
1t has been thought best not to mention
these artists until arrangements have
been definitely concluded. No one
seems able to name the exact date on
which the new Peoples church will be
sopend for occupancy, but 1t seems to
be the general opinion that it will not
be ready before the new year.
The ST. Paul Choral club has fixed
Dec. IS as the date Of the opening con-
cert, 1.-THE Messiah" It is probable
that even if the Peoples church is not
completed by that time the club will
still be able to give the oratorio it it's
auditorium, for the inconpleteness will
be in the fiilishings and other details.
1t is expected that the pipe organ will
be in place and the heating plant aill
certainly be in before Dec. Is. AT any
rate, the club is planning on securing
the church for it's concert, as well as
for the other two it is to give,

his career been keenly alive to public
issues and ranged on the right side in
matters of public economy.
AT sixteen he was graduated with
high hOnors from the st. Paul business
college and began work as office boy
with the Powers Dry Goods company
and rose quickly to the position of
cashier of that company, resigning in
1886 to engage in the real estate bust
ness. The only official position he has
ever held was that of deputy register
of deeds, from 1888 to 1892, but his
abilities demonstrated then and in
building up and putting on firm
financial basis the Daily Recorder, as
we'll as in his present position as as
Sistant general manager of the Ameri-
can Bonding and Surety company, en-
inently qualify him for the position he
now seeks, and his we'll known devotion
to the interests of st. Paul and Ram
sey county prove that he will be a
valuable man in charge of the county's
affairs. He has never sought election
to Office before. 'a
For County Commissioner, Thomas
Davis.
Thomas Davis, who stands before the
voters of Ramsey county as Democratic
candidate for county commissioner, is
one of the stanchest business men of
st. Paul. He was born in Ireland fif-
ty-Seven years ago, but since his boy
hood he has been a worker and resi-
dent Of that city. For the past thirty
years he has been in the steam heating
business and by his own personal in
dustry he has brought his firm to an
erninence which is not reached by any
concern this side of Chicago.
His friends consider him peculiarly
adapted to the position of county COM
,,1ic bai n of q
pacity and broad views, being pos
sessed of mind capable Of grasping
and Analysing the most difficult prob
lens in economy and service. He has
never held public office. Mr.. Davis is
a member of the Territorial and Junior
Pioneers, the Minnesota Naval Veter
ans, the Order of Elks and the knights
of Pythias.
For County Commissioner, John. S.

out boldly in support Of organization.
He was a prominent factor in the Or
ganization of the first cigarmakers'
union in st. Paul and was unanimously
chosen it's first secretary.
Since he has become a manufactures
his interest in trade unionism has not
lessened and he stands at all time as
the champion of union labor. From
this fact In part and his wide acquaint-
ance among all classes of citizens, he
will receive many Republican votes as

sey county than Judge j. B. Olivier,
who is on the Democratic ticket as a
candidate for judge of probate. He is
a man Of eminent standing in his pro-
fession and unquestioned integrity. He
has proved himself to be the proper
man for the place for which he has
been named by his service on the
bench, which the voters of Ramsey
county will undoubtedly return him to
when the time for the casting of bal
lots rolls around.
Although he enjoys a highly lucra-
tive practice, Mr.. Olivier has been pre-
vailed upon by his friends in the legal
profession to accept the nomination
and stands ready as a public-spirited
citizen to sacrifice his personal inter-
ests to those of the community in
which he has been leading figure for
SO many years.
For County Commissioner, Daniel Kelly
Daniel Kelly, Democratic candidate
for county commissioner has already
shown the citizens Of st. Paul and
Ramsey county that he possesses the
qualities most needed in the office for
which he has been nominated. He is
at present a member of the county
board, to which he was ap-
pointed by the council to fill the place
left vacant by the defaulting of George
B. Whitehorn, and he served in the
same capacity from 1872 to 1878, dur
ing the years when the foundations OF
the present greatness Of the city and
county were being laid.
Mr.. Kelly was born in Ireland Dec.
%, 1889. He came to this country at
the age of eight years with his two
brothers, who educated him In the pub
lie schools near Caldwell, N. J. After
ward he came West, learning the ma
chinist's trade in Chicago and moving
next to Elgin, ILL.,, where he familiar
lied himself with the milling business.
In 1856 he came to st. Paul and en-
gagged in the contracting business with
his brothers. The firm for many years
supplied Western forts and Indian
agencies.
In number. of enterprises he held
the interests of St Paul at heart and
had much to do with the commercial
upbuilding of the community. For sew
eral years past he has been engaged in
the real estate and insurance business,
with Offices in the Pioneer Press build
ing. He is close student of municipal
affairs and conserving of the interests
of a taxpayer.
In the early '7Os Mr. Kelly was sec
rotary Of Old Hope company, No. 8, Of
the volunteer fire department, the
members Of which served without COM
pensation. He is member of the
Territorial and Junior Pioneers.
For County Commissioner, M. p. MORT
arty.
Maurice P. Moriarty, Democratic
candidate for the county board, is one
of the solid business men of st. Paul
and by training and natural adaptable
ity is eminently fitted for the office. He
is a native of st. Paul, having been
born here in 1859, and this is his first
experience in politics. He has been
active and prominent in the business
world, however, and has always during
