A WAGNER PROGRAM.

! The third concert by the Minneapolis
Symphony orchestra will be given in
the Auditorium next Friday evening.
1t will be Wagner night. The pro-
gram will be devoted entirely to Wag-
ner's music and the soloist will be
living opponents Of the tenor roles in
the Wagner music dramas. This will
be the. first exclusively Wagner pro-
gram ever given by the orchestra.
In securing Alois Burgstaller as
soloist the committee of management
of hearing three of the great tenor
solo numbers of the modern German
master given as the composer intended
they should be- Five years in the
shorus of the Wagner opera house at
Bayreuth. followed by number of sea-
sons in the tenor roles Of the operas
under the directions of Frau Cosima
Wagner, whose special protege he was,
constitute Burgstaller exceptional
ner's music.
AS a boy Burgstaller lived the simple
life of a clockmaker in the village of
Helzkirchen, upper Bavaria. Without
q thought of public career, he had
always been in demand as a singer in
the churches and country festivals of
his native valley: When he was 10 his
. WV
mann Levi of Munich, who advised him
to go to Bayreuth and obtain hearing
from Frau Cosima Wagner. Young
Burgstaller followed this advice, and
the rest is a part Of modern musical
history.
After singing for some years at Bay
reuth, Burgstaller came to America
and sang the tenor roles of the Wagner
operas for Conreid, in the Metropolitan
Opera company. He forfeited the
favor of Frau Wagner by creating the
role Of F'Parsifalo for Mr.. Conried, a
role which he sang in Minneapolis two
years ago. On the Wagner program
Friday evening he will sing the famous
prize song, from "Die Meistersinger,
grim and Siegmund's Love Song from
Die Walkuere.'
& Mr.. Oberhoffer has arranged for the
concert program that includes compo-
sitions that, taken all together, cover
nearly every period and every mood of
Wagner IS art life. The merry intro
duction to Die eistersinger Won
motives of the mastersingers, the ap-.
prentices and the love of Walther and
Eva will open the program. The
un1nber. is an arrangement Of
the themes from the opera Of sttseig-
i fried which Wagner arranged as a.
tribute Of affection to his wife at the
time of the birth of their son, seig.5

Symphony orchestra to finance


Il u Symphony orchestra to finance
that magnificent company Of artists
and to devote their time to advancing
its interests, may be understood from
the remark made by one of them a
few days ago. cit is a sort Of fad
with me- he said. "Of course, love
music and I enjoy the concerts, but
of my time and attention. to the or
chestra. Perhaps I am as busy as most
business men, but this is relaxation for
me. I think every man ought to have
something outside of his business to
occupy his attention. Some men take
theirs in politics I take mine in
working for and helping, to. pay for
man owes it to his city and to the
public at large to assist in some public
enterprise that makes for the pleasure,
enjoyment, or education of all. I
don t know how better I could manage
it than by helping the Symphony Or
chestra.'
4 Is not that the correct views It APP
plies to many of the men who are
back Of the orchestra, and when such
men devote their abilities as high grade
men of affairs to giving Minneapolis
people the best going in, the way of
music, it means much for the city and
the northwest.
The man quoted remarked that he
devotes his surplus energy. to the at
fairs Of the orchestra, while. other men
devote theirs to politics. His compari-
son is not wholly good. There are not
many men Of his quality who, devote
as pure motive, the educational up
building Of their fellow citizens. It
is true that many business men are
regular contributors to the campaign
funds of one or the other of the po-
litical parties, and in the. thick Of
campaign they may spend some time
In party work, but that is the extent
Of their interest.
Now, what if men of that grade
should work politics to the extent Of
becoming aldermen? In London and
many other cities members of the COM
mon council are just such men as are
backing the Minneapolis Symphony or
chestra, and they are serving the city
solely for the honor Of the position and
the good they can do. They do not
serve for salary of $500 year; there
is no salary: They simply deem. it a
duty and a pleasure to devote their tai
obtains in Minneapolis to the limited
extent of the school, the park and the
library boards. Men of the highest re-
pute serve on those boards, and the en-
tire city partakes directly of the bene-
fits Of their zeal and public spirit.
The Symphony orchestra guarantor
was right. Men Of high grade, altho
he was too modest to put it that way,
do owe something to the public, and if
it is not possible to obtain their serv-
ice in managing the affairs and mold
ing the policies of the city, they can
do an immense amount of good by MAX
ing it possible for all the people to
climb together to higher levels of in
tellectual enjoyment.

THE ORPHEUM ORCHESTRA
Capable Organization Will This Week
Play Verdi Overture, .sAroldo.'

Announcement that the Orpheum
theater orchestra; under the direction
Of Theodore Martin, is going to give
the rarely heard Verdi overture,
- Aroldo," as a preliminary to the regu-
lar vaudeville program this week,
serves to attract special attention to
this worthy and capable organization.
While the Aro1do'' overture creates
more than passing comment, it is only
one Of many evidences that Mr.. Martin
believes that the. public, as represented
by thegaverage vaudeville audience, APP
preciates really good orchestral music.

the better price the land sharks get
when they resell?
If those gentlemen wish few pounds
of beef, little medicine or some mer-
chandise for the asylum, or some other
State institution, they with great blow
ing of trumpets endeavor to show how
much they wish to protect our interest,
when they will insert an ad. inviting
bids (this, however. after the legisla-
tive committee ratified them up a bit
along towards the close of the last Leg
islature). And again, is it not remark
ably strange that Governor Broward' 8
l. J. Board (Which is also the Drainage
Board) will condescend to sell Internal
Improvement lands at 4ls cents per
acre, when he is proclaiming that
drained Everglade lands will be worth
$50 90 per acre? And be it here remem-
bered, too, that those Monroe county
lands are down close in that neighbor-
hood, and must be almost, if not as
valuable as will ever be his great Ever
glade lands. Consistent, is he not-he,
his czarish board and their great outside
legal advisers? Now, this outrage
clearly places Mr. Broward and his
gang in an awkward position, that must
Reed some satisfactory explaining. If
it is not forthcoming, let it be investi-
gated along with the many other funny
things that have happened If they
are the pure angels they would have
the people of Florida believe them to
be, no harm can come to them from
giving publicity TO them and their Of
fetal acts, and they will not be injured.
If they have and are still abusing the
trust the people have put in them, then,
at least, they should be voted from
public Office, and the time to begin re-
buking them will be to vote down the
joint resolution they are working so per-
sistently to fasten upon the people,
that they may continue to abuse and
Cypress. Should not an end be put to
it all some time soon?

DELAND RECORDS STRAIGHT rALK

Following the example of the Pensa-
cola Journal, the DeLand Record in
mentioning the removal of the Jackson
vile Sun TO Tallahassee to take the
place Of Hilson's defunct Capital, says
NOW, will Claude L'Engle and Car
toonist Taylor tell the public who it is
that Is putting up the dough?" And
the Record adds: I'VE suspect that it
is the heavy blows and crushing effect
of Editor Collins showing-up of the
strange policy of the administration
that IS the cause of this importation of
l. 'Engle and Taylor" and mot since
the days Of reconstruction has there
been such grating and stealing Of the
poor tax payers money as has been the
case during the rotten William Sherman
Jennings administration and during the
present one " This is strong talk, but
it is needed, and there is need, too, of
a few more fearless and publc-spirited
editors like Collins and Ben Prevatt. -
St. Augustine Record.
In justice TO Mr.. L'Engle, we will
state that he assured us in a conversa-
ton one day this week that there was
no truth in the assertions that he had
been induced to come to Tallahassee by
any State officials; that none of them
had put up for him; that he intended in
the Sun, this week, to tell the public
where he got the money from; that his
mother loaned him the money; and that
he was doing and was going to continue
to give the State good, clean printed
matter. And we believe he will do
so, for he also denounced the filthy and
shoddy stuff the Capital had been palm
ing off on the State Just let l. Engle
and Collins 'go long" in the even tenor
of their ways. We believe both will be
able to hold up his own end Of the row.

how things are going up here, and that
you can depend upon

ord brings out that an injustice was
done some editor, but the outrage of
putting some Of those drainage docu-
ments into the old soldiers pension en-

servants once more. Have not some Of
