D.jmrosch Symphonyjorchestra of Now York
will bo hcrml Inouaof Its best programs nnd
again nn Thursdax < nftcmoon nnd evening In
other selections , VT.
* * All Oinahnns 'know bf these greatest of
Instrumental orgunlzasions ; not n few hnvo
doubtless heard ono or other or both of them
In the east ; but for the first tlmo In Its his
tory the Gate City of the west Is given the
prlvllcito of hearing nt homo the band nnd
the orchestra thnt of all others in America
today stand for nil thnt is highest In musical
Interpretation. It wns worth while lighting
to let Chicago have the World's fair. If
Omaha gained little more than this oppor
tunity of hearing the work of Sotisa's nnd
D.imrosch's musicians , for It is the fair that
brings them here. It may bo many years
cro such a musical feast Is spread in Omaha
again. "Gather ye rosebuds white yo mny.'J > i
But two hours of instrumental music , oven
of the best mayhap , because It Is the host
is. let It bo confessed , somewhat wearying
to tiio average car ; It craves the sound more
satisfying than nil of nature's melodious
noises ever praised of poet , the music of the
human voice. And this band and this or
ehcstrn will bo assisted at their concerts by
nn nrray of vocal talent never before hoard In
the west tn one season. Tomorrow evening ,
with Sousa's band , Mine. Fursch-Madl , the
noble dramatic soprano equally renowned
on two contlnots , will sing. Mine. Van
Caiiturcn , in the front rank of the world's
operatic sopranos , will sing afternoon and
ovoning. So will Frauloln Mlnnlo Bchnnc ,
the much heard of contralto. Messrs. Gulllo
and Vlvlanl , tenor and basso , will also sing ,
nnd Miss Leonora von Stosch , the young
American violinist who captured all Europe
season before last , will intoprot Sarasato's
"Gypsy Danco. " But it Is really unneces
sary to dilate on the work of Sousa's band
and the soloists who nppcnr with It. The
sale of seats already assures crowded houses
tomorrow. These are the programs to bo
rendered tomorrow by the oand that ts now
admitted by the best critics to ho superior
to that of the late Patrick Sarslleld Giluioro.

Many will consider the D.imrosch programs
announced for Wednesday evening nnd
Thursday nftcrnoon and evening oven better
worth hearing than those for tomorrow.
But , In fact , no ono should miss hearing all
of the concerts.
Special appreciation has been earned by
the management of the Apollo club In ar
ranging that all school children under 1.1 shall
bo admitted to the afternoon concerts for
33 cents. The opportunity should bo promptly
Improved to lot the Httlo ones hear these
notable selections from the best of music , In
terpreted by the most masterly of musicians.
Superintendent Fltzpatrlck has agreed to
cxcuso nil public school pupils tomorrow and
Thursday afternoons who wish to attend the
concerts.
The management promises tomnko Exposi
tion hall ns comfortable ns possiblelie -
member nnd rcservoj-our scats In advance ,
ns admission tickets will not be sold nt tlio
door except for standing room. Tlicro will
bo two entrances on Fourteenth street. Car
riages will nppoach these on trances from the
north when delivering , and will form in line
In the same order nft'jr the concerts.
Among the guarantors of the festival are
Mayor Bemis , K. F. Itanktn. C. L. Douol , '

Quito n number of communications have
been received by Tin : BKK relative to the
concerts. Some ask for particulars of ono
kind nnd another , and some make sugges
tions for the conduct of thir- festival inoro
of these latter , ns so many know "all about"
running entertainments. "B Flat'1 sug
gests that some Improvement bo made tn ad
mission arrangements over those at the
Soldi concert : "Lot the Apollo people en
gage a professional ticket taker from ono of
thu theaters ; place him , or two such , at thu
foot of the stairs , avoid the trying crush on
tno stairs and expedite admission. "
"Student" says she would rather her per
fect enjoyment of the music were not
marred again by any speech making be
tween numbers , prclcrrlng to road advertis
ing matter in the newspapers to hearing It
sandwiched between a Beethoven sonata
and a Verdi urin. "T. B. " ( from Council ! .
Bluffs ) wants to know whether the lloor Is
better than the gallery in Exposition hall.
Lot him hear the band from the gallery
and the orchestra from the lloor and he will
have earned an opinion of his own.

Mlsi Ix > onor\ ; von Stosch. the brilliant
young vlollnl.sto , who Is plajlnp with Sousa'.s
concert band this season , possesses one of
the Hurst Strndlvarlus violins In tlio world ,
nnd there ts an Interesting story connected
with it. As almost everybody knows , Strnd-
ivnrlus was the greatest violin maker whoever
over lived , nnd the few gcnulno Instruments
which have survived the vicissitudes of thu
century ami a half slnco his death arc prl ed
beyond measui-o.
Miss von Stosch Is n Washington city girl ,
who In early childhood displayed great talent
for the violin. After being tlio .star pupil of
the best teacher In her native town for a few
years , she went to Europe and applied her
self so well' thnt three years ago shu won
the first prize nt ono of the consiH-vatorli's.
Coming home , she played for .Anton Soldi ,
nnd ho at once honored her with an Invita
tion to play at ono of his concerts with
orchestral accompaniment. Her splendid
playing and her personal attractiveness won
for her u great success In Now York nt once ,
where she became the fashion nt parlor
liiusieatea.
A year ago last winter she was playing at
the house of Rlohnrd Watson Gilder , editor
of thu Century , when ono of the guests.
Abraham Bcrnholin , asked her If she had
over played on a Strndivnrlus violin. She
had not , nnd regarded the possession of ono
ns beyond her hopes. Mr. Hernheiiu told
her that his uncle. Isldor Utiuscr , had n
Strad , which formerly belonged to his
brother , Miska Hanscr , a celebrated player
nnd composer for the violin , Before that It
had been the property of the great Vlotix-
i totnps. As a special favor Miss von Stosch
was allowed to play the violin at n concert
soon after , but .Sir. Hnuser would not allow
It out of tils hands , except when she played
It. Ho carried It to the hall himself , nnd
when she bad finished took it homo. It was
a perfect Instrument , made tn 1710 , nnd ho
valued It at fo.OOO.
Sometime later Gordon McKay , n wealthy
philanthropist of Newport , R. I. , hoard Miss
von Stosch play , nnd heard her toll of the
Hauscr Strad. Mr. McKay is the possessor
of a collection of line violins , and , to make a
long story short , ho bought the prized violin ,
nnd has loaned It liulullnltuly to the charm
ing Miss von Stosch.
Mtss von Stosch Is the most promising
vlolluiste in this country. She has great
strength , which enables her to play with the
brilliancy characteristic of the best violin
ists , likeBrodsky , Yunck nnd Bcndlx. She
has great nrtlstlc talents and limitless pcr-
sovcranco. Each summer she returns to
| Kuropo to cotillntio her simile. * , nfiil h

From the cradle to the grave , at every stage of Hfo , the Enoyclopodlu Britannloa Is useful and nocoasary to man ,

"
"What flhall I oatV"
Nature hns to a certain extent answered that question for hltn , but the Britannloa contains nn article Invaluable to
* * i mothers on Infant Diet.
' i Should ho wish to know his legal status , ho can refer to the article on Guardianship of Infants by Mothers.
His relation to the Christian Religion are clearly sot forth In this great book under the heading "Llmbus Infantum. "
Apart from these serious things there are thousands of beautiful and Interesting matters , with pictures that will
Interest the Baby a llttlo later on.
What is more interesting for children to road about thnn the Spanish infant that is a king In n cradle ?
Ten Cents n day put aside for the Baby will procure lor him this wonderful book , which will flll his soul with joy and
