THE FESTIVAL WORKERS.
Likelihood That the Chorus VIII BE
Made Permanency,

The Salt Lake Festival Chorus may
be accepted now as a regular, perma-
nent institution of this city. II was,
from the nature of things, at hrst 4
tentative affair-its promoters labored
and hoped for he best but at the same
time. they didn't just know how the
venture was coming out. If the pub
lie gave the proper support, Il second
festival WAS sure, and If the second
met VII the financial approval of the
publie the sc1rme of an sLnn Ial ftsti-
val with an orchestra from Chicago
might be accepted as one of the fixed
events OF the season The first effort
met with the anticipated success,
which was an immense announcement;
ana now that the second annual affair
has been accorded such hearty and
sympathetic support 1t seems as
though all apprehensions as to posi-
BILE failure In the future might be
classed among the improbables.
The idea of the Salt Lake Musical
Festival originated in peculiar and
unexpected way Two years ago, Man
ager Fred Graham OF the local Music
Bureau. wrote to a Chicago agency rel
alive TO bringing musical attractions to
Salt Lake BY mistake, the letter Went
to Manager Beach OF the Chicago Sym
phony orchestra Mir. Beach answered
the letter, stating that the parties for

remarked that he was IN that line of
business himself. and suggested that he
could furnish an attraction In the way
OF an orchestra 10 work In harmony
with n musical festival which might be
arranged for. The idea appeared n good
one 60 Manager Graham, and he imme-
diately took the matter up with Profa.
Stephens and Mcclellan. The result
was that the plan of an annual musi-
cal festival was broached 70 the pub
lie, whore 1t met with such favor that
arrangements We're made and success
fully carried out, as Is already well
known Prof, Stephens wa made

Of $50 TO 200 voices, selected from the
tabernacle choir. and aiilliatod singers
from the city, was organized, and u

the festival proved another step In the
upward musical progress Of Salt Lake.
The orchestra then numbered only 40
men, under Won Fielltz; but owing to
the pleasing success of the festival,
Manager Beach decided 10 bring an in
creased orchestra for the second festi-
val, and he has kept his word, as may
be noted from this fact alone, that
his payroll Is increased by $3.50 per
week. He has clean, scholarly, Intel
ligent lot OF men, under one of the
most thoroughly equipped OF conduc-
tors. Adolph Rosenbecker. The change
was made from Won F'ielitz to Rosen-
becker, as the former was not con-
sldered by the management up to re-
quirmonts in routine conducting,
though there was no question as TO his
ability as a musician. Col. Beach and
his musicians like Salt Lake, and this
section OF the country very much. He
believes that by another season. the
musical interest in the larger centers
Of the state win be so far advanced
that 1t will pay to hold festivals not
only In this city, but also at Logan.
Ogden, Provo. and Perhaps Brig
ham City.
Festivals organized on a large scale
were formally recognized in this city
over 30 years ago; since which time
thev have been held at intervals. the
basis OF operation being the tanerna-
Gle choir They always commanded
public attention to such an extent that
musicians who could see ahead were
ready to predict that salt Lake would
become one OF the greatest centers in
the country for choral performance
Citizens who attended the performance
ot the tabernacle choir with Glimores
band, years ago, when they sang the
Halleluiah Chorus with the noted band
master as conductor will never forget
the magnificent way in which the
choir sang that great composition. Mr.
Gilmore himself was astonished. The
writer, who sat almost between Mr.
Gilmore and the choir. can never eff
face from his mind the expression on
the conductors face as the great body
of singers poured forth a volume of
melody that fairly shook the building
That expression was one of startled
aInazement. delight and exultation.
Mr.. Gilmore afterwards stated his
pleasure in no unstinted terms. and
said he looked forward already to
the next time when he should certain
w visit Salt Lake with an augmented
band and with a more pretentlous pro-
gram.

pleted and Chairman Miner introduced
DR. w II. Calderwood of Salt Lake,
who delivered q paper on THE Milk
and Food Supply" The address was
replete with information to the layInan.
as well as the members of the medical
profession present, and especially to the
individuals whose duty il is to look
after the public health. The doctor
took up the contagion of typhoid and
showed several causes which lead to
such u contagion. Besides the well
known source of Infection for this dis
ease declared the doctor another
one was discovered during the Span
ish-American war and that was the
common fly. 1t was demonstrated that
flies can and do carry typhoid infection
from eNcreta from open closets to food
and 1t is therefore OF the highest inn
portance that sanitary conditions be
maintained in and about the home.
OYSTERS no BLAME.
"Oysters are another source of typhoid
Infection. 1t has been demonstrated
many times, guests at banquets who
had partaken of oysters which had been
gathered from waters where sewerage
was dumped, contracted typhoir fever.
Meat in the early stages of decay also
carry the Infection, and this is one
point which the health officers should
carefully watch"
DISEASES AMONG PEOPLE.
TIL doctor also touched upon the ex-
istence and spread of tuberculosis
among the cattle in the state, with
recommendation as to its treatment
and suppression. He advocated tuber-
cular tests with animals, which can he
had cheaply and without danger of the
animals taking the disease from the
tests. Infected milk Is a great source
OF tuberculosis among humans, accord
ing to many good authorities and al
though the profession is divided in
opinion as to cowpox being transmits
siblo to the human race, as long us
there is a doubt, maintained the doc
tor, it is well To act on the side of
prudence. and not subject infants and
others to the possibility of becoming
infected with tuberculosis. or consump-
ton, from diseased animals. He strenu-
ously advocated the visilant Inspection
OF dairy plants by the health officials,
as they are the source of untold cpl
denies in typhoid and other contagious
diseases
During the discussion following DR..
Calderwood's address, much valuable
information was received by the con-
vention. Owing to the delay in COM
mencing the meeting this morning. and
the number of addresses to be made,
it may be decided to hold a third ses-
sion of the convention either this even
ing or tomorrow morning. 1t is pointed
out that with only one more session
very little discussion could be INDUCED
in, and 1t is largely through the inter-
change of opinion and experiences of
the members of the convention that
benefit is derived. and the consensus
of opinion seemed to be in favor of
third session. This point viii be de-
cided on definitely this afternoon,

WANDERED TO FRISCO
SUFFERING FROM APEiASIA
Aged Man Not Seen by Former
Associates Until Remains
Are Discovered.

HACkENSACK, April 20.-Penniless
and weary of life, Frank Dominicus. an
| aged resident of this place, and for
merly enjoying a responsible position
with Lord & Taylor, of New York, Is
believed to have committed suicide in
the Alpine woods. His body was found
there yesterday by hunter with bull
let wound in the right temple. A re-
volver lay nearby. The old man had
not been seen by his former associates
here until his body was found
Dominicus disappeared from here
about one year ago. No trace of his
whereabouts could be gained until a
letter came three months later, dated
San Francisco, in which he stated that
he was unable to account for his move
ments since his disappearance from
Hackensack. At that time he came out
of his state OF asphasia in hotel in
the Golden Gate City.
AT first it was believed that Donn-
icus had been slain because OF the po-
sition in which his remains were dis
covered. His head lay on his coat,
rolled into a pillow. His arms were
lying naturally beside his torso and
his feet were crossed as though in sleep,
Some thought that he had been shot
while asleep and that his assailant had
so placed him in order to cast off sus-
picion.
Coroner Curry, after an investigation,
came to the conclusion that Dominicus
was practically penniless and ended his
career. The coroner saw that a large
powder mark surrounded the bullet
wound as though the~shot was fired at
close range.
When he left he had a bank account
of $500, but when found yesterday only
thirty cents was in his pocket, and IN
investigation showed that the money
had been withdrawn from the bank.
