ZOELLNER STRING
QUARTET IN FARGO

1t seems as though Director Boehmer
OF the Dakota Conservatory has kept
the It'd -bit' of the seasons musical
offerings until the last. Next Monday
evening, at Stones music hall, Mr..
Boehmer will present the last Of his
stellar attractions which he has Of
fered during the winter as on artists
course the celebrated zoeIlner string
quartet which is now in the west
after a series of very recent triumphs
in Aeolian hall, New York, where as
semble the most eXacting audiences in
the world to hear musical celebrates.
sBut for an accident 1t is not likely that
FEargo would have been honored with a
visit from the Zoellners. The Pass
more trio was to have closed the course
Fbut an accident to Of the members
eprecludeS that pleasure and in. their
t,place the booking agent sent something
equally as good, if not better.
Nothing short of remarkable has
been the success that has attended
1.-THE appearances in America of the
Zoellner String quartet of Brussels.
Long before they came to America they
had been acclaimed in every European
capitol as the last word in ensemble
playing. They gave fourteen concerts
lin a in Berlin alone. These
four distinguished artists were trained
in the Belgium school which perhaps
t~accounts for the volume and brilliancy
(which is SO often evident in their play
ing. The Z~oellner quartet next Per-
,haps to Maud Powell, is doing more in
EAmerica to disprove the impression
that classical music is not for the
masses, It is significant that the
EZoellner quartet has been. already en-
gagged for three years at a great many
hplaces where they have played this
season, which means that their concert
will be a fixed annual event In many
l communities. The program for the
Fargo engagement follows:

Gazette at Wahpeton this department
is able this week to give a mention
and the program of the music

sohn's Cantata 42nd Psalm, the Bar

THE 42nd Psalm was given by a
special choir of twelve voices and the
solo parts by Miss Nina Bardwell. This
composition is one of Mendelssohn's
greatest in style Of choral work and

ial chorus.
A great. deal of praise is due the ac-
companists. Miss Alvina Eckes Mrs.
Emma Braun Nelson and Miss Mar
garet Baker. Miss Eckes who &C
companied the contata as well as In
the other numbers, is without doubt
one of the linest pianists and accom- =
panists in this section of the country.

done without the enthusiasm on the

The Why of Symphony orchestras.
Symphony orchestras being under
consideration, a few ideas eulled from
different sources may not be out Of
place says the Spokane Review. The
Egeneralities are that a symphony or
chestra is a necessity for any city Of
certain size which respects it's musical
character, for it creates an atmosphere
which is a valuable asset from a point
of culture alone; it attracts people
from the surrounding country, who
stimulate business; it helps the resi-
dent teachers and musicians by putting
their art on a higher plane; it is just
as worthy Of support and serves the
same purpose as a public library, a
museum, an apple day, or any of the
hundred and n things for which the
business men cheerfully put their
hands in their pockets. 1t is for the
good of the town.
A symphony orchestra is an i'm
provement. The taste, once acquired,
can never be lost. 1t Is a luxury like
the parks. 1t probably would not pay
its way for a long time, but the
| guarantors would have the ~satisfac-
ton Of knowing that they were pub
lie benefactors. No n attending a
performance at the Metropolitan Opera
House, New York, pays the full price Of
his, ticket, for the ~guarantors pay a
portion Of it.
If Spokane has the good fortune to
secure a symphony orchestra the eX-
! ample of Boston would be a happy one
to follow. There every opportunity has
been given to the local artists to APP
pear in the concerts and local talent
has been given every encouragement,
with the result that Boston has foster
ed the arts within her gates until now
she has a nationwide reputation for
| culture.
Spokane has individual problems to
solve, the chief of which is that only
one symphony orchestra can be sup
ported. Even Paris, with it's 5000, 900
inhabitants can only afford W. or
three really great organizations; and
it must be remembered that the public
for the highest kind of art is strictly
limited; only 5000 people in Paris at
tend the best entertainments. Spokane
with q much smaller population, has
working audience of about 1000. These
devoted creatures must go to every"
thing-must do everything. Nc won
der they die an early death!

The Mems Glee club Of Fargo college
will give their home concert at Stones
music hall on Thursday evening of
next week. Under the Turing baton Of
Professor Orr, of the conservatory, the
club has developed wonderfully since
the beginning of the season. PROBES
sor Kurtz, as piano accompanist, is a
valuable acquisition.
The reports from Wadena and Haw-
ley are most favorable. In both Of
these cities the club made an excep-
tional hit, elicting applause at each
performance, bringing down the hous-
es with humorous enCOres.
The special numbers are a pleasing
addition to the ensemble selections.
Professor Orr will sing several new
songs besides numbers by Professor
Kurtz, pianist, instrumental trio, vio-
lin, cello and piano and others.

DESERTED BABY
Sends Note Saying She Would
Commit Suicide-No
Trace Found.

The police today found no trace of
the woman who last night deserted
her FIVE weeks -old child and later
sent a note saying she was going to
end her life.
The woman said she was Mrs.
Annie Ryan, of 225 Seventh avenue.
She called at the Eighth Avenue Day
Nursery yesterday and turned the
child over to Miss Edith Jennings,
the superintendent. She said she
would call for her child later in the
day. A few hours later Miss Jen-
nings received a note. 1t read:
Kindly get a home for that baby.
| cannot get work to support that
dear boy, and l am tired of living,
so will end my life. Take care of the
baby I lost my husband. The world
is done for me. 1 do not want to see
the baby suffer-
The note was unsigned. 1t was not
until the time fixed for returning
babies to their parents had passed
that Miss Jennings could determine
which baby was meant by the note.
An investigation showed there was
no such number as 225 Seventh ave-
nue..
The police today received no report
of woman committing suicide.
