' . THE GREAT Il IN OF PRAISE Successfully Produced Last Night at the Opera Festival , AN EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE. riellovuo College Commencement Accident to Henry Kostor Bur- H\nr \ UngKcd Otlicr Intcr- XOWH Itoms. I/ast Night. Contrary to expectation , the perform- of th < j festival oroliestra nnd singers last night , was a great success. It gave sat isfaction to the largo audience , and to night , as a consobuenco , the largest audi ence of the season will bo present. Tlio Concert. Forty minutes of symphony introduced the "Hymn of Pralso. " The movements , three in number , wore faithfully roiulorctl by tlio orchestra. The lirst chorus , ono of Incentive to devotion , was snug with courage and precision. The second was followed by u solo of Fursch Madl , ac companied by fifteen loading ladies of tlio chorus , The ell'uct was particularly Hnu A heavy burden fell to the task of Mr. Horsehbeek , by whom tlio next numbers were rendereu. The gentleman appeared to greater advantage than on the preced ing night , his method being more nat ural , nnd the peculiarity of his volca whlcn Hccmed least appreciated on tlio Srovlous night losing many of its objcc- enable features. The great feature of the evening was the duet between "Mine. Fursch-Madi and Miss Hartingtou. It was looked for with cxpectanccy , and the audience looked not in vain. Kaeh of the ladles was in excellent voice. Each seemed oblivious of the other , but through the beautiful solo , lll Waited For the Lord. ' * the almost subliino wealth of those two ladies seemed to the people a rcnll/.ation of the long-loolccd-for dream. The madame appeared at her best , singing with marvelous sweetness , purity and expression , .Miss Iluntmgton. how ever , kept watchful eye over all the ground. For the third thno Mmo. Fursch-Madi made an appearance hero singing with the grace and case which earlier charac terised her. The thrco principals scored most satis factory 8UOCO.SS09 , as they coeld scarcely have done otherwise with the uuignillcent voices which nature has given each. Mine. Chattorson' harp solo , the "Fairio's Dance , " was so rendered that it evoked a gtand recall. " To the encorp she responded with a beautiful , thoughtful and appropriate entitled ' ' . " priate piece 'Prayer. It was in keeping with tlio nature of the piece and was very happily rendered. To-night will bo the grand opera night , bringing out all tlio principals. The nudienco will again sco Miss Clara Pierso whoso couritgo enables her to sing by the side of ono 01 the greatest vocalists of the world. _ The Hymn of Praise. It Is somewhat strange that in the pub lished works of Mendelssohn Bartholdy the symphonic cantata above mcntionod fails to lind a record. It Is found among his scattered pieces only. And yet it may justly bo doubted if anything more bril liant dropped from his pen. It is oratorio , it is not opera. And yet it abounds 'in nrias , duos , choruses , which , to , judge , from tlio notes alone might . easily be acccopted as a the product of the profane school. Do- spjto this fact , bcneatli the florid score , with all its beauty and exactions , thcro lies a deep religious sentiment , which everywhere throuehout the piece , is given most beautiful and harmonious cs- ; pres.ssion. It was written to glory the fourth con- tcnniul of tho1 invention of Lcipsic , of the invention of printing. With a knowl edge of the light or intelligence which the great art would shod upon the world , and the ligurativo darkness of ignorance of tlio Sast from which they had emerged , Mcn- olssohn's pure religious spirit grasped the idea of the discnthralimont of the soul , and everywhere gives to it expres sion throughout the piece. The lines which fall to the singers are these col lated by himself , yet full of expression and beauty. In almost everv part they give expression to delight nt the victory of light over the darkness of the past. In the very lirst strain of the instru mental part , the clear , ringing B flat utters the keynote of the pioco. It is a strain sounded by brazen throats , and repeated , until it is finally passed over the whole orchestra. Gradually , the movement becomes more involved , and the masters of the instru ments handled them with care and earnestness. Through nil this earlier movement , the soul is supposed to bo longing unremittingly for the light which has now coma to the people. The painful intensity of the longing is , however , shortly softened , and a hush falls upon the troubled soul which begins - gins to perceive the inorcy of the Lord working in its behalf. Throughout the piece , there runs a subtle thread of sweet sound which is most delightful to follow. It not Meiutolssoiin's greatest work , it certainly is his most genial ono , and deserves to bo rcsurrectou , in fact to lot the lignt fall upon it from abovo. Three Ijnilics Fair. Madame Fursch-Madi was the first-of tlio leading vocalists to appear last night. Omaha's appreciation of her exceeding merit found expression in repeated bursts of applauto , for which the inadame bowed nnd smiled thanks. She appeared in an entirely dilVoront vesture from that of the preceding evening. At a distance it partook of the style to which distance is said to lend a charm , but which , when viewed ut short distance , appealed in a most irresistible manner to testhotio ta&to nnd appreciation. Her dress was a white , flowered , brocaded velvet , with Umutiful interlacing of foliage worked by hand in artistic embroidery. It was cut wnbasmio , with buttoned front , and out in heart snurio with especial itcsiro to display both neck and arms. In front of the bouquet sparkled a Maltese cross of diamonds mends , while upon nor right shoulder gl stoned n loaf of purest brilliants. Thcro was a lull in the performance and expectancy of tlio audience after Fursoh-Madi's air with the chorus. Wav was made through the orchestra , und Mme , Chattonton gracefully approached her harp , which stood upon the stage in the sight of the audience , Although ? not lamiliar to our people , her fame had preceded - coded her , und slut was awarded n kindly greeting. She wore a blush-rose pink drnss , brocaded with wattcau train , cut square , showing neck and shoul ders. The dross was decorated with flowers of palo pink satin. She wore a garland of smilax over her shouhler and allowed it to drop gracefully by her side. Three circlets ol coral neoxlano adorned her throat , which was also encircled with a chain of Roman gold , from which depended live carbuncles' a most unique design. Her wrist was encased with a golden cross bar on wliich shone thri/o great diamond beauties. Miss Huutington appeared , still later , aim like Miue , Fursch-Madi , appeared in new and elaborate txttiro. Htir ur&ss was of light blue satin , made up with cream Spanish lace and trimmings. Tubs ol satin , with variously sized balls , wen suspended from the trimming. A hand fcomo corsage bouqct of natural rose : adorned tlio breast. She looked majcstii and beautiful , and maintained a most nt tractive appearance throughout the oven ing. Tlio Soprnnos. Seventy ladies , both from abroad am Omaha , were Identified with this vor ; important part of the chorus. Nearly nl of them are enthusiastic lovers of music in Omaha. SOUIR of them have beet identified with music from time out o mind. As a whole , thu sopranos havi acquitted themselves creditably. Tlio < have occasioned most annoyance to tin director at rehearsals , nnd yet , they lmv < still to bo charged with anything whlcl could seriously nflVct the welfare of UK undertaking. Last night , however thcro was' a break in the cho rus , "Tho Day is Ureaking. ' Some ambitious soprano , held on tc a note after every oilier member of the chorus lias ceased. Tlio. moment the chorus voices dropped , was the time for the leading soprano to take up the theme But the careless singer fell in with the leader. Mr. Pratt's indignation maj well bo imagined , It wns shot in fioroj glances in tlio direction of the ofl'endint member by the incensed loader. During the rehearsalthe sopranosgavc thu lender quite an amount of trouble. . Yet , last night , ami on the proceeding evening they sang in a manner which sur prised everybody. Tlio quality of then voices wns good. Besides among them might be found n dozen excellent read' ' ers with voices pure as over may-bo in the average chorus. Upon these , latter , the others loss favored depended , ycl with such success as to nmki their acceptability a marvel to these wlu predicted failure. The Tenors. The assistance rendered by the Chlcagc tenors wa3 most welcome indeed. Amonf : the local foroo wore some who might bi denominated excellent readers , and who in tills entertainment , never missed t note. Despite this fact , the tonqrs were among these who needed greatest coach ing at tlio rehearsals. They seemed tc suffer from a preponderance of wcakoi voices which , in n , measure , blunted the distinctness ot the better singers. While the quality of some was excellent , there was absent , except in rare intervals , th\l clearness and resonance of tone which when found in the toner is always to bt admired. There was a timidity , too noticeable last night , in attacking th ( score , which sometimes resulted in a lack of precision , which sometimes bodei danger. Tlio Contraltos. , - The altos , or ratlior the contraltos anil altos , have always been equal to- the last imposed upon them. In roher.sa.1the \ were always ready when needed. Thej sang with correctness of ear and uuritj of sentiment , which are tilings to bo ap prcciatcd. Richness scorned to-prodomi nnto in all their tones to that dcgreo thai it was diilicult to imagine where ifwoult be possible for'the aggregation to dispense ponso with their leaders or secure other : who would bo equal to the emergency. TJio Bassos. Among the lassos , the baritone pro' ' dominates. Eaoh of those parties sing the national air with care and devotion. Biii the predominance in volume is with Hit baritone. While both parties , except ir the usual and remarkably beautiful pass ages , feel us if disappointed , there yel exists here the nucleus of a society o1 whatever kind , may be needed , amonp tlicm , the hurried were' hero voiced o ; hundreds.of misfortune bus undertaken Mr. Mayno has worked well with hi : people. The Orchestra. The orchestra was really ono of the gems of the occasion. It was intelligcnl in its appreciation of tlio leaders direc tion and artistic in its knowledge of the demands of the score. Among it were some , who , a few nights before were dis posed to rebel. They disliked the tempi and style of the music learned by them and felt like insisting upon their having their own way. Mr. Pratt , however1 ; in sisted upon having his will dbeyec and , it was his will Which finally became law. The orchestra , or rather the dissl dent members of it , objected to the re straining direction of the loader , whicl insisted upon their playing with niccitj and delicacy of expression when the cho rus was singing low. The members o ; the body in question , early saw their mis take and made up their minds to proiii by the discovery. Last night , the accompaniment wa : particularly line , each member Ecotniiu to fill that individual effort with botl conscience and care that was necessary to retrieve their loss.

To the Editor of the BEE : The great June festival is now going on at tin exposition building , and I wouli like to say a few words regarding th < loose management of the afi'ur , bo that i Omaha should over have another sucl event there might bo ucliunco to improve on some things. My first impression , a : I entered the spacious hall Wednesday night , was that of a circus. Cojoree waiters could be seen rushing to and f re selling lemonade , jmd I suppose by to morrow night peanuts and popcorn vril bo in order. Do the management of thi ; atluir think that people who pay ttiie money to go and hear thegu concert : exquisite solo , "I fnow That My Re- ilcomcr Llvcth.

There was'nt an uglier to bo eeen , or if there was oner' lie didn't know his business. Ik this what wo have got to undergo 'when we want to hear those concerts ? There should not bo n single person rtllowcel ( o enter the hall after the porfoftnalice begins , ox * copting elurlng the intcrVali between the numbors. This caii'bo ' easily remeelled by tlio locking of dotir * , eto. Last night , just boforu'tho ' last and best chorus , about 200 pcoplo" rushed for tlio doors to loavo. It wns-'an insult to tlio chorus ns well a * to the public. The whole performance would not have lasted five minutes longer. No , no , they couldn't wait. Thny must satisfy them selves and destroy the effect of the music for those who remained. The public should bear in mind this is not a circus , butil miibical festival , and , as this is the first ouo'partlculnr ci\ro should bo taken , In every respect , so as to insure a grand success. * Burglars Caught.

A small Italian cousthuj vessel put into the harbor of Porto Voccliio. on tlio southeast coa.st of tlio island. Alter the anchor hue ] been cast two sailors wont ashore for wood. It was then about 8 o'clock in the morn ing. Scarcely had the men landed and moored their boat when they wore ac costed by two-Corsicans armc.d witlimus- knts , who had issueU'from a neighboring thicket , and who turned out to be two brigands. Those riifliaiis ordered ono of the sailors to return to his vessel and ask the skipper tor a sum of $00 as a ransom for his companion. Unless the money wore promptly forthcoming to tlio last farthing the hostage winfe to be shot.

The college building is u well built , attractive threo-story structure , built of pressed brick and with especial design for the object for which It is em ployed. Up to the present time the work of the college has been more of n preparatory nature , but with the coming school year a full colh'go course will be Instituted , of which studemts have already been prepared for entrance into the 'freshman ' and sophomore classes. The members of the college faculty arei Rev. W. W. Harsha , D. D. prosldont : Rev * Wm. R. Henderson , A. M. , ancient languages. Monroe Stokes , A. M. math' omuticH , Mrs. A. A. Harslin , English , Missjr'iuinlo V. Dillrance , music. The school opened the lirst year with twenty- four students , last year the number was Increased to thirty-live , while for the year lust closed sixty students have , boon enrolled. This gratifying Increase is due to the united nnel earnest efforts of thu college faculty for the aelvnncomcnt ol the institution's interests. With the ad < dt'tion'of the collegiate course and otlici improvements that are contemplated , il is hoped and confidently expeulod thai lho ; altundanco'for the coming year will reach ut least out ) hundred students.

During the year a college read ing room had'been litteel up , thu expense of which wfts'mostly made up from vol- ubtefcr Subscriptions by tlio students.

Miss Day executed Weber's ( 'L' Invitation a la yalso" in a brilliant anel faultless man ner that secured for her the Orst prize. Miss Van T.uyl's rendition of "Obcrpn , " by Lcbach , was scarcely less brilliant , and the second prize was given her by the judges with the expressed regret that it was not of the same value and char acter as the first prize. In the recitation contest for the Omaha Publishing Co. prize of $0 to first speaker and $4 to.second , there were two contest ants , the third , Miss Danley , being on the siok list. . .

The Northwestern railroad has made nt survey through Albion , thence west Dame Ruinor says that the graders have commenced In the eastern part of the county on the line surveyed to this town. State politics are being quietly talked up. There is n governorship boo bu/.zing around Hon. Loran Clark , ot this county. The buz/ing , however , seems to come more from your city and the South Pintle country than from his immediate neigh borhood. His nomination would civu satisfaction to his friends In this locality , and his friends hero are a numerous host. Then John Peters , for twelve years county clerk of Boone county , is promi nently mentioned for congress from this district. Eovrybody knows John , nnd he \yould poll an awful big vote in this sec tion of the state. In my opinion , Peters had rather go to the legislature the coming winter , and thus gain more ox- perloncc in politics , than to make the at tempt at present to secure the nomination for congress. Albion Is going to celebrate the 4th of July in grand siylo. Full sheet posters are out with the announcement that Senators Van Wjok and Mandorson are expected to be present , and that through them the spread eagle will ( lap his wings.
