MUSIC NOTES.

One of the most interesting events
of the present concert season will be
| the rendition of Professor BergQuist's
oratorio "Golgatha" by the enlarged
| Handel Oratorio chorus and the Rus
sian Symphony orchestra of New YORK
City at the Illinois theatre.
This oratorio concert will be one OF
| the excellent series of concerts ar
| ranged by the Augustana conservatory
faculty. A great deal of interest and
enthusiasm has already been shown
over this years course and there is
no reason why hearty support in gen
eral should not be forthcoming.
'Golgatha' has been given in the
auditoriums of ST. Paul and Minneap-
ellis with fine success and is at present
being studied and rehearsed very Sc
riously by the Oratorio chorus. Com
menting on its original production the
Minneapolis Tribune says:
"A musical event OF unusual impor-
lance to Minneapolis filled the Audito-
rum last evening with an audience of
music lovers and the many friends of
j. Victor Bergquist. whose sacred ora
torio, "Golgatha," was sung for the
first time. a fine rendition of the
lovely work was given by the Col
gatha chorus, the Minneapolis Symph-
Cny orchestra and the soloists, Will
liah Barlow Ross, tenor, and Gustaf
Holmquist, bass. The composer, Mr..
Bergquist, directed the performance.
In choosing the theme for this
first oratorio. Mr.. Bergquist selected
that period which, to the entire Chris
tian world iS the most solemn Sacrpd
and divinely significant of any moment
in the history of the world; the mo-
ment when Christ died upon the cross
to save sinners. In presenting this
supernal picture musicalIy the COM
poser has approached his subject with
reverence, sincerity and evident love.
In the simpler passages "Golgatha" is
a beautiful work, and if in those mo-
ments at which the Christian world,
has stood for 1900 years with bated
breath and aching worshipping heart,
reverent beauty and simple but pro-
found conferences that characterize in
every heart, the supreme moment of
Christian history and the Christian re-
ligion, Mr.. Bergquist need not feel
that he has failed of his purpose.
The first part of the oratorio and
the first half of the second part are
beautiful indeed. Space does not per-
init detailed analysis of the many
beauties of the work. Every number
of the first part is memorable, but
those remaining most wildly in the
memory are. perhaps the exquisite
aria, Weep Not for Me- of the Christ.
the reviling chorus Art Thou the
Christi and the lovely final choral
The second part opens with a magnif-
cent bass aria, followed by the andante
theme of infinite beauty. Weep Not for
Me- In the second part the beautiful
andante. Father Forgive Them the
stirring chorus, Write not King of The
Jews and the tenor solo Eli Sebak-
TAM are notably beautiful.
THE general impression left by the
oratorio is one of melodious and simple
beauty. The occasion was one of de- !
served personal triumph for the tai |

new SYSTEM OF
POLICE ALARM IS
TO Be INSTALLED
Commission Authorizes Adver-
Using for Bids for Project
Voted Upon in Spring.
HART is THE INSTIGATOR
introduces Resolution Providing for
Initial Steps in Matter of Sc
curing Modern Devices.

Initial steps were taken by the city
council yesterday afternoon at the insti-
cation of Commissioner Archie Hart,
for the purchase OF the police alarm
system. a $4,000 bond issue for which
the people OF this city voted favor
ably upon at the election last spring.
Commissioner Hart offered a reso-
luton authorizing the mayor and city
clerk to advertise for bids for the in
stallation of the boxes only, the wiz
ing and other work connected with
the task OF placing the new system
in commission TO be done by local
labor.
In introducing the resolution the
commissioner stated that he had just
visited Davenport and had inspected
the new system of police alarms in
the city across the river. and he said
that Davenport had placed in 40 new
boxes at a cost of $4,000. He stated
that the amount expended in Dayen-
port had been increased greatly by
its connection with the fire alarm
system.
We will have a hard time keeping
under the sum allotted to u.s." said
Mr.. Hart. Davenport installed only
45 boxes at a cost OF $4,000. while
we intend to put in a.. We will be
fortunate If We can keep below the
amount in the bond issue the people
voted upon"
Wiring Contract Separate.
The mayor asked the commissioner
why he had stipulated only the in
stallation of the boxes and not the
whole job. and Commissioner Hart re-
piled that the concerns would demand
that much more money and that as
long as the council had TO pay out the
money for the wiring that il would be
better to keep that job at home and
give the local men a chance to work. 4
He stated that any OF the local con- !
tractors were capable of wiring for /
the job and that II would be in keep !
ing with the councils plan of always 4
giving local labor the first chance.
Commissioner Hart asked that the

Ter, following rumors to the effect that
another choice political plum would be
ripe for plucking when the new pro-

stated that the purchasing bureau
would be under the supervision of the
board of public works. according to his
understanding, and questioned the
need of a special purchasing agent,
whose duty it would be to have charge
of the new department. The mayor
does not believe that it would require
all of one mans time as purchasing
agent, and is of the opinion that the
matter can be handled satisfactorily
by the board of public works.
