and organ and choir broke forth into
Alleluial'-a greeting to the New Year"
%
There is more activity in the local man
agerlal field Of music than there has ever
been. Full announcement was made last
week of the concert season OF Miss Evelyn
Hopper, who managed the ~recitsls OF last
year also.
Now cometh Mr.. Hall, who is an en-
thusiast and a hustler and who believes
that Omaha is a good field In which to
spend his time and his energy. He is
establishing a regular bureau OF music
and he hopes to bring here some OF the
very greatest attractions. For exfmple,
It is under his management that Mr..
Scott, the famous baritone, we'll Known
to all lovers OF grand opera, is to give his
recital here at the Auditorium on Satur-
day evening next. Then he promises ITilly
Koenen, the celebrated Dutch contraltO,
for December It,, and in January the great
rDr. Wuellner, the wonderful singer and
interpreter OF German lieder and German
m music who created such a ire
mendous sensation last season in the east.
Mr.. Hall has other big attractions in sight
and he expects to announce In a short
time a series Of recitals for the people
on Sunday afternoons at reasonable prices.
II is safe to predict that with Miss Hop
per's series. the Representation series
and the Hall series. Omaha will be given
a musical season the like Of which has not
been experienced for years.
II Is necessary that all those who are
interested in the musical development OF
Omaha should come forward and offer
their assistance to these people who are
trying their very best to build up the
musical fabric Of Omaha. This Is not
said in any spirit OF triteness; it is a fact
which the musical people and the mu-
sieians should look at seriously and act
upon positively, Here are people who are
giving their constant energy to making a
success Of music affairs in Omaha, and
they cannot do II unless they are helped
by the musicians. Now you may already
be a subscriber to one Of these concert
series and be in possession Of your ticket
May ! offer a suggestion? How would #
be to get a pencil and a piece Of papeI
right now and see II you cannot think OF
five people, each OF whom ought to be a
purchaser Of tickets; then send those
names to Miss Hopper, Boyd theatel
building. OF to Mr.. Hall, Hotel Loyal. II
every musical person would do this II
would help a great deal and It would NEAR
a lot towards lifting Omaha up muslcally
We have seen that we cannot expect mucf
from the organized musical society. The
hscheme of the Tuesday Morning Musical,
organization seems to offer nothing new
except, possible, tea We might as wei
give up all hope OF accomplishing any bis
public good In that direction; We hav'
waited In vain and we seem 20 be as IA
as ever from the Thomas orchestra con

sons through its Matinee Musicale club.

broad, outlook and the handling Of greater
things in maha's crying need, and the
lack of them Omaha's past shame, 1t is
necessary, it is imperative, it is absolutely
obligatory that every music lover and
every one who wants to see musical con-
ditions improve quickly and largely, should
come out and say so.
Reading this article or a thousand OF
them will not do one thing towards the
proper musical attitude on the part Of
Omaha, but If You, You, You will act and
get someone else to act with you, you will
begin TO see results Immediately. You can
support these concerts personally. and you
can talk them up, you can send others
even if you cannot go yourself, you can
SHIRE in the future Of Omaha musically,
and let me remark gently, but very firmly,
thGt the musical horizon is full Of promise,
/ and a dawn is coming which is going to
brighten some of you with its power You
! cannot keep Omaha back unsteady, Some
nave tried to, but that is all in the past.
You cannot resist the onward approach OF
the musical day.
There has been so much good seed sown
in Omaha during the last thirty or forty
years that there is necessarily a great
I harvest tQAAliAlk-lA mas bNNh hAOh ms EA1W~
ing, watered with the tears OF discourage
ment and at times OF despair, but wait till
the day comes and you will see what a
harvest has been growing during the night.
We have been crying aloud for several
years, "Watchman, will the night soon
pass?' And there has been the black.
dead silence for answer. Some have left
us. because they grew tired Of calling or
for other reasons, but the faithful few
after their other laboTs were over have
climbed to the mountain top, and cried
again and again, "Watohman, will the
night soon passg" And the right answer
has failed to come.
And now just as some OF us we're be-
ginning to give up hope, there has come to
us over the mountains the sound Of "a
voice which makes every nerve Jingle and
every step grow elastic and the call Of the
voice is this; The night Is departing. The
night is departing. Arise! Awake! And be-
hold the Dawn"
There has never been such musical ac-
tiyity in Omaha. There is a great work
for everyone to do. Oh, reader Of this col
umn, let me be personal once this season,
let me speak to you directly. Won't you
please do something for somebody who 4;

II was a great pleasure not only TO hear Mr..
Ellis beautiful voice, but TO know Ne
braska possesses such an artist. The first
group Of light songs were given with taste
but the dramatic Don Carlos brought out
splendid style and tone.
The second group OF serious songs opened
with a Won Felitz number that makes
severe emands upon the singers pianis-
sims, which Mr.. Ellis used with greatest
effect. The two Brahms songs were also
much appreciated. The trying Faust aria
with its wide compass was given with de-
lightful legato while the martial middle
movement made excellent contrast.
The third group incluced a song by Sig
muHd Landsberg, an Omaha composer. II
Is a serious composition OF real merit and

To East Africa and Back in Two DAYS

That the telegraph and electric cable

World. although commonplace of to-day,
vas recalled recently by the quick trans
nlsslon OF message and a reply between
New York and a station in British Eas,

Thirty seven years ago it took Stanley
fne rnonths of travel through the vast
'qudtorlal forests of Africa, to reach Ujiii
md 1lnd Livingstone. During almost his
'rtlre Journey he was lost to communica-
ION with the outside world.
AT 1i3o p. NJ. on Wednesday, March %
! cable despatch was sent through the
Western Union Telegraph Company from
New York to Naviobi, in British Eass
AFRICA. a station thirty days march from
thvlnSstone's headquarters; and a reply
was received through the Postal Tele-
sraph Cable Company shortly after noon
IN the following Friday, an interval OF
ess than fifty hours.
Inc cable despatch was transmitted
first to the Azore Islands, and thence to
Lisbon. Gibraltar, Malta. Alexandria
Port Said, Suez. Alden. Zanzibar, and
Mombasa. on the East African coast
Thence it was sent inland to Naviobi by
telegraph. and from that point was CON
veyed thirty miles to the house OF the re-
clpient. the total approximate distance
being slightly more than 10OW miles.
Owing to the difference in time between
New York and Naviobi the message lost
eight hours in transmission and conse-
nuently was not received till Thursday

journey and the return Of the answer
