There have been many interesting
articles In the eastern press anent May
festivals and such In the last few weeks,
and the whole situation has been ex-
haustlvely summed up by tho Springfield
Republican, one OF the finest papers in the
old Massachusetts state, and incidentally
one Of the best in the country, in utterance
editorial.
But bark! A note of warning is sounded,
and Omaha may as well listen. whether
we regard the alarm or not. Personally
I think we should. For some of us who
have been interested in our May festival
nave suffered by the very same conditions
which prevailed in the older and more con-
sentative festivals.
Some Of the local musicians have asked
me why Il was tha the first part of the
festival was not properly advertised, say
ing to ne that their friends, students, etc,
had not known OF the existence OF that
part Of it at all until II was well nigh
over. My answer is always the same, II
had nothing to do with the advertising!
The first part of the festival, was largely
ignored; the concert artists. especially
Genevieve Clark Wilson and George Ham

a bunch as the Chicago Qusrtette,

The existence OF a May festival is tusti-
fed only by the general promotion II affords
to the musical impulses of the city.
But. enough; let an older and better man
speak on this subject. Thus spake the
Republican:
The managers OF the music festivals feel
effort, and they ave reason. They have

FEELINGS OF KANsANs IN GOOD CLOTHES
Ed HOwe's story of the Menu, the
Decorations, the Garb of the

Ed Howe in the Atchison Globe describes
Governor Bailey's dinner to President
Roosevelt as follows:
1 attended the dinner given by Governor
Bailey in Topeka to President Roosevelt
Possibly readers of the Globe will be IN
terested in knowing how the bachelor gov
ernor entertBins.
The governors residence is probably the
handsomest home In Kansas. 1t was punt
by a man named Bennett, a breeder OF
Percheron horses, at a cost of $1,000 But
the woolly legged Percheron horses were
too slow for Kansas; hey reminded people
of oxen, and Bennett was compelled to sell
his fine house. The state bought 1t Tor
S15,O 900. Governor Stanley was the first gov
ernor to occupy II. The last legislature
made an appropriation for fixing It up, and
the improvements were completed only a
few days before the presidents visit.
Every room OF the mansion is finished In
a different hard wood; It Is said that the lie
brary was finished in walnut by workmen
from the Pullman shops in Pullman Ill.
The floral decorations were extensive, but
in excellent taste. There was trailing green
stun everywhere, and vines growing over
the mantels from pots on the thing below.
In the library there was the handsomest
display OF American beauty roses we have
ever seen. There were flowers in every
room, but, as far as we were able to Judge,
the taste displayed was excellent-not too
much of anything.

Coming Events.

The Ferris Stock company, after two
days absence, caused by the intrusion Of
the Goodwin company, return TO the Boyd
this afternoon to finish the summer sea-
son. started so auspiciously four weeks ago.
The two plays selected for the week are:
The Galley Slave" and "A Night Of
Frolic." The first named will be given the
first half of the week, opening this after
noon. and the latter the second half Of
the week, opening Thursday night. The
Galley Slave" is a story of the heroic self
sacrifice Of the hero for the woman he
loves. He Is discovered calling on his
sweetheart in her apartments and fearing
to compromise her snatches up a quantity
of Jewels. hides behind the furniture, and
when dragged forth by the intruders pro-
claims himself a burglar, who has entered
the premises unknown to its occupant to
loot them. He is dragged to Jail and on
trial condemned to the galleys for life.
Later he escapes and returns to his home
town in time to confound his enemies,
whom he learns, later, were responsible
for the intrusion into his sweetheart's
apartments and his condemnation to the
galleys. He clears his name OF the stigma
of galley slave and burglar and everything
ends happily. AS it's title would indicate,
"A Night of Frorc" is a comedy on broad
farcial lines.
