liUSIC AND MUSICIANS
' It was my pleasing duty to stand up for
Omaha artistically last week in this col
umn, and Mr. Clement Chase came in for
a more or less Indulgent criticism. Mr.
Chase the St. Clement of Omaha cornea
back handsomely in the editorial page of
his paper and acknowledges his faults
and promises to do better, for, first, he
approaches me with reverence, as he
should, and alludes to me as "Father"
Kelly (this wilt delight ray mother, who
always wanted me to be a clergyman), and
In the second place, St. Clement says in
cold type that "the Excelsior never
claimed to be a society paper;" and, in the
third place, Mr. Chase shows by his article
. and its numerous references to Bee
article of times past that he has been
making a careful study of the musical
column of The' Bee, and that he has been
reading, marking, learning and Inwardly
digesting the truth contained therein.
Such honest repentance, conversion and at-
tempt to learn the right way, as set forth
Sunday after Sunday in The Bee, should
appeal to every person's spirit of forgive
ness, and it certainly does to mine.
If the Excelsior -keeps on reading The
; Bee carefully and sincerely, with its best
understanding, people may begin to read
the Excelsior.
There is a truth, aa old as the eternal
hills, but sadly neglected, and that . is
found in 'these words: "Like attracts
like." If one could only apply that con
stantly the world would Te a better place
to live in, ' for right Is always stronger
than wrong, it has more endurance, more
patience, and always wins out In the long
run. Therefore the cohesion of all right
thinking people would work wonders. But
we fall because we 'neglect to apply the
means to the conditions. In other words,
'we lack Faith. And then, again, ws lack
."Works. Faith wltkout Works Is dead,
aald a scholar and philosopher years ago.
The combination of these two, Faith and
Works, would do great things for us. If

we are seeking for higher ground to work
on, for more helpful environments to be
surrounded by, for better opportunities of
work, we can accomplish what w are de
siring. First, we must have cheerful,
abiding, persistent faith that the one thing
desired will come. This must never be
overcome by Doubt, for literally and actu
ally and truly, "He that doubteth is
damned," whether you take it in connec
tion with its context or just as I havs
quoted it.
I had gotten Just this far when Rev.
Edwin Hart Jenks of the First Presby
terian church came into the particular edi
torial room in which the musical crltlo
does his- work and Inquired for some in
formation. The subject of Sunday writ
ings cams up, and I showed Dr. Jenks
what you have Just read, remarking that
I feared that Z was encroaching upon his
territory. But I had been very much
struck with a line from a book by Ralph
W. Trine, In which he said that Ood did
feed the sparrows, to be sure, but hs never
threw the food into their nest. There is
my idea for this homily on Faith without
Works.
Dr. Jenks then gave us a little talk on
the subject and said: "A good illustration
of that idea is the building of the Central
Pacific. The men who, with Collis P. Hunt
ington, went to work upon that apparently
Impossible feat of applying the grain of
mustard theory to the removal of moun
tains, accomplished what they set out to
do. They proved that the grain of mustard
seed would accomplish Just what the Mas
ter told his disciples it would accomplish.
For you and for me there are no moun
tains to oppose us. They are, as it were,
cast Into the midst of the sea. They exist
not, for the trains pass through them daily.
From the mustard seed of faith, the small
est seed, but one which grows the greatest
tree, came the accompllslunent of the great
engineering feats, because those men
backed up their faith by their dollars, their
worldly goods, their everything, tn the face
of ridicule and laughter of their friends,
for faith and works being a strong combi
nation, the unknowing ones laugh." . Dr.
Jenks went en to show that there was no
necessity for us to be discouraged If .we
would only realise the actual dynamic pow
ers of a living faith. It is the living force
in that little seed-grain that does the busi
ness. Ths student who wants success must ful
fil these conditions and the results will
come. If a student has no faith, or. In fact.
If the student has not complete faith in the
teacher, the student ought to either water
the faith-seed or change teachers. If the
teacher has not Implicit faith in the possi
bilities of the pupil he should advise ths
pupil to seek another teacher.
If the pupil has faith tn the faet that she
will, one day, be among the best singers of
tha country, she must first begin by being
(not poatng as, or saying she is), "being"
the best singer in her block. Then the best
singer In her precinct, then in her ward,
and then tn her city, and so forth. Faith
In success Is useless without work. Work
at what you are doing, and aim to do it
the best way you know how, and hold
firmly to the thought that you will be
called to greater tblnga Tou cannot fall.
A great concert will be given at the
Crelghton-Orpheum on Tuesday night. It
will be by the students of the Univeislty
of Sweden, who are on their way to Bfc
Iouts to sing st the exposition. There sre
fifty male voices, and John Foraell, the
famous baritone of the Royal Opera of
Stockholm, will sing. The musical critic
of The Bee recommends you very strongly
not to tnisa this. It is very exceptional.
Among the things to be sung Is tbs "suite,"
one might call It, entitled "The Peasant's
Wedding," including the "Wedding March"
(which most of us know), "In Church,"
"Ths Return Home" and "At the House."
It is by Sodermann.
The pupils of Mr. Lee O. Krats gave an

L00MIS IS JTILL WISSING
America Has Mot Beea Foaad by
Hen Wko Are Lookln
. . for Him.
PARIS, June 25. The whereabouts of
Kent J. Loomla, brother of ths American
assistant secretary of state, Francis B.
Loomla. who disappeared shortly before or
after the arrival of the North German
Lloyd steamer Kaiser Wllhelm II at Ply
mouth June SO, remains in the same state
of doubt as yesterday.
The officials who are conducting the
search for the missing man say there Is
no truth In the report published by a Lon
don newspaper to the effect that Loomla
turned up here yesterday. The announce
ment presumably resulted from confusing
the names of Loomls and W. II. Ellis, the
latter sailing from Marseilles this afternoon
for Abyssinia.
LONDON. June 85. The mystery which
surrounds the disappearance of Kent J.
Loomls is no nearer solution. Not a soli
tary clue as to his whereabouts has re
sulted from nearly a week's widespread In
vestigation. Consul General Evans and the
assistant consuls have made and are still
making all possible inquiries, but without
the faintest trace of the missing man.
The statement of Oustav Fiamm of San
Francisco, a passenger on the Kaiser Wll
helm II, that he saw Loomls at Plymouth
Is so far uncorroborated. The American
consul at that port says that ISO landed,
all of whom gave their names. These tally
with the passenger list and Loomls' name
Is not among them. One American who left
for London during the evening of June XL
the day after the Kaiser Wllhelm II
touched at Plymouth, ' and who It was
thought might have been Loomls, proved
to be many years older than ths assist
ant secretary of state's brother.
At the request of Consul General Evans
the hospitals of Plymouth are now being
searched. Scotland Tard also has ths mat
ter In hand and the English papers, espe
cially the local papers at Plymouth, con
tinue to give prominence to the American's
disappearance, so if Loomls Is in England
and In poaseaslon of his faculties he could
scarcely fall to know he la being looked for.
The authorities here are unable to form
a conjectural explanation of Loomls' dis
appearance. The theory that be fell over
board finds no ' supporters, as it Is pointed
out that it would be almost ' Impossible
for a small man to fall over the high deck
rails, especially when the sea Is partic
ularly calm, as It was In this case. Ths
bright moonlight also practically precluded
such an event occurring wtlhout attracting
notice from the hundreds of passengers
and the many officers who thronged the
liner's decks when neuiing Plymouth. The
suggestion that Mr. Loomla might have
unintentionally disembarked at Plymouth
is now regarded as quite probable. From
one of Mr. Loomls' fellow passengers a
representative e( the Associated Press
learned that W. H. Bills and Loomls were
constantly toeether and were known as
Intimate friends. , Mr. Loomls did not make
any acquaintances. Several well known
Americans who cams to London by the
boat train say that they did not even
know Loomls was on board.
- The utter failure of all efforts here and
on the continent to discover any trace of
the missing man excites much Interest and
no litis apprehension among the large. class
of the publlo taking the transatlantic, voy
ages. The circumstances connecting Loomls
with the Abyssinian treaty ' creates espe
cial Interest here as the sphere of influ
ence of that country is one. of the current
matters especially engaging the attention
of European diplomats and as announced
in these dispatches. Is one of the subjects
on which exchanges of confidential com
munications aie occurring between Great
Britain and Russia.

shooting of Officer William Halterman by
Frank Swltalo, Twenty-ninth and Costellar

days with which to get out of this settle

the men with whom you have had this
trouble. You had better move and do It.

Swltala and his friends. Riley says further:
"I have nothing to leave this town for
and I do not intend to be driven out by
any threats. But I think I will be ready for
any violence that they may undertaka
against me."
