ABOUT PLAYS PLAYERS
Hanoi on the statement of Mr. Hudson of
the manaKTl.il firm of Hudson Jud.ih,
th theatrical season In Omaha will Open
about three wwki her.ce with a brand pew
house. These gentlemen are thoroughly sat
isfied with the outh.ok for their venture In
Omaha, and have every confidence In Its
future prosperity. Incidentally, the house
TPr which they are to preside will be a
' decided and welcome surprise to a great
many of the people who patronise the the
ater during the winter. It Is to all Intents
nd purposes a new theater, only the side
walla of the old being used. Every vestige
Of Its Interior arrangement was removed,
and the place built up from 'the ground to
the roof, with a new stage and all He ap
purtenances. The accommodations for the
public will be found surprisingly good, as
nothing that Is not modern enters Into the
equipment of the plnce. The stage has been
enlarged and fitted up so that the heaviest
productions can be handled with ease on It,
thus Insuring the proper presentation of
the great scenic paraphernalia that makes
up so largi a part of the modern melo
drama, to the uses of which the new the
ater Is to be particularly devoted. It ha
been pointed out In The flee heretofore that
popular prices does not necessarily mean a
cheap show. In fact some of the most ex
pensive organizations traveling show at
"popular prices." depending on the lurge
attendance for profit. Messrs. Hudson
Judah are allied with Stair & Havlln, who
Stand to the "combination" shows Just
where Klaw Krlanger stand to the "at
tractions," and who handle only the best.
In this respect Omnhnns who love the
"thrillers" may be assured In advance that
none but the best will be seen at the new
house. It Is now In the hands of the deco
rators, and will be ready for the opening
on August 17. The opening attraction has
not yet been announced.
A letter received from Mr. Carl Relter
during the week snys he will he back In
Omaha on September 1. This may be taken
a approximately the date for the reopen
ing of the Crelghton-Orpheum. Mr. Relter
says the theatrical season In San Francisco
this summer has been the best In many
years, particularly the vaudeville houses
the Orpheum having out the S. It. O. sign
every performance.
Manager Rurgens of the Royd Is still In
the east, and has not Indicated when he
will reopen the Royd for the winter after
the Ferfls Summer Stock company closes
In August. A couple of weeks will be put
In on necessary repairs and renovation, ro
that the house will likely not be In use he
fore September. It Is the plan of Messrs.
woodward & Burgess to follow the prece
aeni or the last few seasons, and onen
with something light, reserving the better
attractions until cool weather turns the nt
tentlon of the public more to Indoor amuse
ments. Their advance bookings Indicate no
recession from the high standard set by
uunng me last few seasons, the
oniy cnange being that the "big" shows will
.mae longer stays in Omaha hereafter.

Today'a announcements certainly de
monstrate that Manager Cole of Omaha'a
polite resort, Krug Park, Is keeping up to
date with his offerings to the people who
visit thla beautiful park. The engage
ment for eight days of Omaha'a favorite
bandmaster, Herman Bellstedt, to render
his cornet soloa every afternoon and even
ing with Huster's Concert band, Is a rare
engagement. Perhaps there Is no city In
the United States that affords an artist a
larger personal following than does Omaha
toward Rellstedt. Although a world re
nowned cornet vlrtuso, his local reputation
warrants the anticipation of a grand musi
cal treat. AH the solos rendered formerly
by him during long stays will be given
during this engagement and many new
ones, which are mostly his own composi
tions. Rellstedt's appearances will be at
3:30 and 6 o'clock In the afternoons and 8
and 10 o'clock In the evenings. To satisfy
the demands of the public for sensation
Manager Cole will provide for today only a

MUSIC A NO MUSICIANS
To resume once more the "Meditations of
the Oood Old Summertime," here begln
neth a "Meditation Upon the Gentle Art of
Ministry."
We speak of ministers and ministry In a
very restricted sense, and not In the sense
In which the word should be used.
On looking up the word "Minister" in
the Webster dictionary, I find that the
word Is originally "a double comparative
from the root of 'minor,' meaning 'less,'
and hence a servant, an Inferior."
There Is a very positive tendency to
constitute the profession of the church, as
ministry and clergymen as ministers, and
there Is an equally pernicious tendency
to surround such with a very much worn-
out halo, as though the word rneant "set
apart," hence "somewhat better than
others," hence, "sanctified, to a degree,"
hence "privileged."
In fact, I read last year an article writ
ten by a clergyman deploring the "regret
table fact that that good old-fashioned
respect for the cloth was dying out."
Respect for the old masters In music does
not die out. Respect for a great painting
Is certainly not waning, (unless Important
fact some one discovers points in It, which
prove that It Is spurious) respect for old
sculpture, for old wine, for old friends, for
old associations, does that die out? And
thus the thought suggests Itself that re
spect dues not die out for something which
remains self-respecting.
There Is a ministry far greater than the
mere "profession" of the church. A min
istry which Is far-reaching, and whose
ministers are called of God, Just the same
as any clergyman. Herman Bellstedt,
whom all Omaha knows, through his splen
did band, which has played so often, and
his Incomparable cornet playing, told me
the other night about going through a pen
itentiary with his band some time ago, and
how he saw the lowest class of criminals,
and heard tales which made his blood
freeze, and when the band played, and
thOHe hardened unfortunates (think of It,
brothers of ours) heard that music, they
listened with eagerness, and to quote
Rellstedt, "I played for thorn afterwards
'Nearer, My God, to Thee,' with all the
feeling I was able to pour forth, and I
tell you, that there were hundreds of peo
ple sobbing and weeping and God knows
what else, besides. It overcame me."
And the chaplain Bald "Bellstedt, we will
have peace now for two weeks."
Oh, blessed music. Oh, gift of gifts from
Ood to man., A Jacob's ladder to lead
mans thoughts to God. And thou, Bell
stedt, "minister." who shall deprive you
of your sacred office? Not consecrated by
any bishop, nor appointed by any elder,
nor baptized or ordained by man, but
chosen a priest of the ministry of service;
chosen to bring liberty of thought for a
few moments to the captive; to speak
peace through your golden cornet to the
sorrowing; to send a thought of some dear
home, perchance of some loving mother,
perhaps of some heart-broken father, to
that heart, that brother of ours, who Is In
a penitentiary because he made a mis-
take.
Thank Heaven for euch an opportunity
of ministry.
And the chaplain said: "They will be
good for two weeks."
vht a. lesson. What a rebuke.
Music, the sweet strain of that beautiful
old hymn, which lulled to Bleep the be
lnued William McKlnley. that simple strain
did more than the etraltjacket could do
or the fierce hosebath, or the stripe, or the
lash, or the torture, or the long sentence.
Half an hour's music; Bellstedt the min
ister, and what a congregation and what
a result. "They will be good for two
weeks now."
Let us meditate upon that.
Ministry, then, according to the old mean
ing alluded to, means nothing more nor
less thun "service." It does not mean ora
tory, eloquence, organization, divine right,
apostolic succession or anything of the
sort. There are ministers and ministers.
There are ministers of music, and of phil
osophy, and of learning of all kinds. There
are ministers of health, and of helpfulness,
who are real "doers" of the word, and who
never hear a sermon.
We are told that the greatest teacher of
whom we know, the Master of masters,
came "not to be ministered unto, but to
minister."
We must serve If we would have.
We are all under the responsibility of the
ministry.
We have "taken orders."
Notice the peculiarity of the last phrase.
in the old country, from which many of
our solid, meaning-fraught phrases have
come, they say of a priest, or curate, that
he has "taken orders." Notice the sug
gestion of service. Nowadays It would seem
that the rr-inlBter Is unnappy unioss no
"giving" them. Assumption of authority is
taking the place of meekness in many
places, and the fact Is often forgotten that
there Is another ministry tnan that of the
pulpit.
What of the ministry of the prees?
Then, again, we must look at this minis
try question from another standpoint. We
are responsible.
We must not expect from a clergyman
that he shall be also a scapegoat, to aa
sume all of our shortcomings. We must
remember that our ministry Is the same as
his. but of a different nature.
la not this particularly true of the pro
fession and calling of the art music? The
honest, genuine musician la a minister; In
fact, he Is oftentimes, especially nere in
this great west, a "toreign missionary.
He must be true to his high calling, and If
he Is he will have the respect of those who
know, and he will ornament his profession
to such an extent that people will be led to
think more of the profession because of
him. He will not have to write articles
appealing for "respect for the cloth."
Of course, there will be many, verv
many, who will rail and swear and curse
him. and despltefully us him and perse
cute him, but you know, when one wants a
picture Judged he does not go to Indians
or Chinese. They are very fine people, but
they do not understand.
This ministry demands a lofty Ideal, a
high standard, and because Its aim Is true
nd Its purposes Just, the enemies of truth
will run about and cry out, and become
tired, and remain blind.
Persecution and attack and abuse must
be looked for by you If you are a fearless
minister, my brother. It was always bo. It
Is the gospel. "The servant Is not greater
than his Irfird. If they have persecuted me,
they will persecute you, also." In other
words. If nineteen hundred years ago Truth
was persecuted, will Its servants not also
be persecuted now? Methlnka yes. And
why not? A friend of mine told me Inst
week of the Dutchman who philosophised
thusly: "Yal Ya! Wenn I In the orchard
go yet, It always happens that I flndt the
shtlcks und the shtones und the clupps
(clubs) lying around the trees vot haf the
gute apples! Njcht warT"
So much for the cost of the ministry. An
other thought upon thst line, and It Is
this: Kipling In his glorious little verses
entitled. "L'envol," says:
No one shall work for money, and no one
shall work for fame:
But each for the Joy of the working
Now, there Is a deep meaning In this.
The man who Is always chasing the re
porters for press stuff Is not the true minis
ter. The mnn who Is trying to accumulate
bonds and stocks and a big bank account Is
absurd. He Is not a minister. Far be It
from me to say that a mim should not be
wealthy. Ry all means be wealthy, but as
Channlng says "not rich."
When one does his work simply for the
purpose of piling up the stuff he Is out of
It as far as real ministry Is concerned, and
he knows nothing of life who knows not the
Joy of working.
I know a man who does certain work
which he Is not paid for at all. and which
Is really an added burden, but that man
knows that he can do that work better
than others who are avallnhle. and so he
does It. He Is a minister. His call la sure
and his reward Is also certain. He may not
think so. but I do.
And, as quoted, we should not work for
fame. If we do a certain piece of work
because we want to see our names In print,
or be Interviewed, or have men speak well
or us, we are making a great mistake.
There is only one thing that Is true minis
try, and that Is the "Joy of the working."
The work of all the great minds has been
a work which they "had to do." They
were called. They were obedient to the
call. They thought not of personal ad
vancement. They left that to posterity, and
posterity did Its duty. Today they ore our
heroes and our saints, and our Immortals.
They were working not for money, not for
fame, but each for the "Joy of the working."-
Now as to the call. Many a man has
mistaken his vocation. It Is not too late
for you to change. Perhaps where you are
you are dissatisfied. Do either of two
things. Bring about a change, or become
satisfied with your lot. I believe yery
Btrongly that "Men at all times are masters
of their fates." Rut faith Is needed, hope
Is needed, and affirmation of success Is
needed.
With the right mental directing, you can
be what you would have been.
"The star is never lost that once was seen,
We always may be what we might have
been.".
But be careful. Look and see If possibly
the very things you are doing now are but
rtepping stones to your ultimate success In
your chosen field. Many a man has been
In the most unlikely places for progress to
his altogether different Ideal. But yet he
has worked to It eventually. Nothing Is im
possible to a clear, shining faith In the ul
timate :esult If the thought is good and the
J-.eart is pure.
Do not be discouraged, my fellow-mlnls-ter,
In the little place, or In the apparently
unproductive field. The great men of the
world were not all born In Paris and Lon
don, nor In New York and Boston.
But get In touch with the best Ideals and
find Joy In your work and heaven will then
enter Into your life. You won't have to
wait for It.
Be careful of Just one thing. Do not mis
take the call! I know preachers who would
make fine Insurance men, I know musicians
who ought to be bankers, doctors who
ought to be clergymen, lawyers who ought
to be log rollers, men who ought to be
women, and women who ought to be men.
A friend of mine said to me the other day
when we were talking along this line: "I
often think of the old preacher who Bald
that the principal trouble was that so
many people had heard the other fellow's
call and had mistaken it for their own."
Let us not forget to serve, each where
we are, and then we will reap the rewards
of service, tho true spirit of real recompense
which can only be tasted to be appreciated
and which is reserved for those who work
with all diligence, seeking and finding Joy
in their work.
And by such ministers and by such min
istry is the world relieved. '

LONDON. July 26. A long letter from
Andrew Carnegie on the subject of prefer
ential tariffs Is published here.
The writer predicts that It will be found
Impossible for Great Britain to discrimi
nate In favor of Canadian products and
against those of the United States without
Inaugurating ft tariff war In which It will
Buffer defeat.
The London Times attacks the letter
editorially and declares:
We think more highly of American In
stincts of fair play than to believe that
an honest attempt to Improve our own
position without Injuring theirs will call
forth the indignation pictured by Mr. Car
negie. MR. KELLY'S studio
