only countries which show total consump-
ton of over 100000 pounds. While the

Of the fragrant weed" is concerned. Tie

The Omaha Festival chorus is the larg-
est musical body in the city, numbering
several hundred members, and led by Mr..
Ben Stanley who until recently was di-
rector of music at the First Methodist
Episcopal church and is now choirmaster
at Trinity cathedral. The works sung by

and appearances have been made with the
Paur orchestra of Pittsburg, when the
chorus, assisted by Madame Gadski, in
the 'Infammatus," from Rossinis sta
bat Mater" and also gave The Holy
Family" of Max Bruch. With the Chi
cago orchestra the chorus sang the whole

Stanley keeps in readiness. he has now
organized a musical study club purely for
pleasure and TO become better acquainted

Others who Have Helped.

Mrs. w. w Turner is an influence in our
musical life not to be forgotten. She
was an invaluable help to Mr. Borglum last
year and this season managed Mrs. Mabelle
Crawford Welptons very successful song
recital at the Lyric.
There is one chorus still in the air, viz:
Mr. Kelly's new Apollo club. Those &C
quainted with Mr.. Kelly's admirable choir
work hope he will eventually get this new
venture going.
Mr. De Lamaitre is a local manager who
has had to do with local talent. He puts
companies on the road and has managed
several concerts in the city Mr.. Albert's
appearance at the Boyd last week was
under his direction.
In the light opera field Mr.. Norman Kent
is a potent influence. "Pinafore'' was well
given twice under his direction.
Mr.. Kinross has two performances of
light opera to his credit, THE Mikado"
and THE Chimes of Normandy"
Since the opening OF the Auditorium such
artists Media, Eames, Calve and the
great orchestras OF the country do not
pass us by on their tours. Last season
the Metropolitan Grand Opera company
from New York tarried two nights, giving
"Parsifar' and Lucia"
The new Lyric theater, seating 900, is an
ideal place for rectals.
English grand opera reaps large profits
at Boyd's theater. Altogether, we are not
"unmusical."
A thousand good wishes to all the earnest
people who are striving to implant the love
OF good music in Omaha. May they labor
together and carry CHEEKY spirits.

In the managerial field, Mr.. Chase has
this year taken the place of Mr.. Borglum

Mr.. Chase has also kept his word, giving
us the Shakespeare Song Cycle" with
Bispham, Harold Bauer, Francis Rogers
and Elsa Ruegger. His concerts have been
remarkable, but the audiences have not
been large enough to make things very
profitable as yet. No man is going to give
hours and hours of his time just for love.
There must be some slight return Still,
in spite of discoura gements, things are
waxing whole lot better. 1t doesn't show
unless you look back several years-don't
look too far. though, for there are some
golden memories lurking.

DEWEY AT JOURNEYS END.
The Mammoth Steel Structure Safe 10 the
Philippines.

Manila (By Cable). - The drydock
Dewey arrived at Olongapo Monday
morning. The trip from Singapore was
uneventful.
The drydock Dewey is the largest steel
floating dock in the world and was con-
structed for the United States govern
ment by the Maryland Steel Company,
at Sparrows Point.
The Dewey and her string of towing
vessels left Solomons Island December
28, 1905, under the charge of Commander
Hosley for its I4,ooo-mile tow.
Several mishaps occurred on the way
to the Philippines, though none of them
were serious. Twice it was adrift, and
for two weeks before it reached Gibral-
tar no word of it was heard and consid-
cradle anxiety was felt.
In the Mediterranean the towing ca
bles were broken in a storm off Malta,
and the great mass was at the mercy
of the waves for 20 hours, but its COM
plete seaworthiness was demonstrated
and no damage was done except a few
| minor strains.
The Dewey cost $I,I24,ooo and is 500
feet long, 100 feet wide between its walls
and O. feet in height After it was
launched at Sparrows Point it was taken
to the deep water off Solomon's Island
for tests.
The vessles that conveyed the Dewey
are the Glacier, which is the flagship
of the hotilla, and the golfers Brutus,
Caesar and Potomac.
The Dewey was 1913 days making the
trip, which was daily average of u
miles.
Olongapo is in Subig Bay and is the
site of the new naval station of the
United States in the Philippines.

ROBBED BY LONE HIdHwAYMAN.
Five Stages Held Up in the Yosemite
Valley.

Wawona, Cal, Especially Five Yose-
mite Valley stage coaches were held up
near the entrance to the National Park
by lone highwayman, who obtained
a considerable amount of money and
jewelry. The conveyances were halted
in rapid succession at curve in the
road near Ahwahnee, at the identical
spot where bandit year ago robbed
several wealthy tourists of their val
uables.
hTe stages were travelling sufficiently
far apart to avoid each others dust,
and when the first vehicle reached the
turn in the road the highwayman, whose
features were hidden by duster thrown
over his head, stepped out, pointed gun
at the driver and commanded him to
halt Some of the women passengers
screamed, while others began wildly to
secrete their valuables
The highwayman directed all passen-
gers to throw out their money and Jew
elry, and when the order met with COM
pliance he directed the driver to move
on.
The second stage arrived within few
minutes after the first, and the driver
and passengers suffered similar expert
ence The process was repeated until
all five coaches had been halted and
robbed. Then the bandit disappeared

THE NEW STAR IN THE FLAG.
Oklahoma VIII Not Be Represented Until q

Washington (Special) after consul
tation between Quartermaster General
Humphreys and Admiral Cowles, chief
of the Equipment Bureau of the Navy
Department, the two officers who are
charged with the making and issuing
of the national flags to the Army and
Navy, respectively, it has been decided
that the admission into the Union of
States of Oklahoma shall be recorded by
the addition of star in the blue field
of the flag placed at the lower right-hand
corner. But as several things remain to
be done before the new state is actually
admitted, and as the law provides that
the additional star shall only be set in
the field at the beginning of the next
fiscal year after the state is one in
fast, the Oklahoma star will not be seen
on the national ensign until July I, 1907,
and, therefore, the salutes which have
been given are premature.
