"Fencing for Fencing's Sake" Is to bo the unwritten motto of the Fencers' club of Omaha , now full fledged , having Its comple ment of oincers and already sixty active members , enthusiasts every one In this most delightful of pastimes. The club has se cured modest but very neat rooms In the Ilatngo building , and here the men and women parry and thrust under the direction of Auguste Leon Denis , a graduate of the government school of Jolnvlllo le Pont and an ex-master of arms In the French army. Thomas Rogers Klmball is the president of the club , Edward P. Mullen vice president , Arabel M. Klmball treasurer , and Dr. Felix J. Despecher secretary. Among those who are actively engaged In learning the In tricacies of this knlghtllest of sports may bs mentioned the names of KounUe , Oarneau , Popplcton , Hall , Holdrege , Patrick , Horbach , Saunders , Klmball , Palmer , Cudahy , Illng- walt , Dandy , Webster. And the club already contains several exceptionally good fencers , among whom arc Dr. Deepecher and Messrs. Mullen and Clark. The women , however , Bceem to be more energetic than the men , and In consequence they are showing decided ad vancement In this sport , In which the In terest Is BO close , so Intense. There Is no pastime In which the expenditure of mus cular exertion and head work Is so nicely proportioned as In fencing. "You are here In active touch with you opponent ; the deli cate rod of steel In your grasp Is a lightning conductor that Instantaneously flashes through your brain the knowledge of what attack your adversary Is meditating. Every faculty of your brain , every muscle of your body , every nerve of eye and hand , all ore on the alert , and you llvo more Intensely moro vividly In an assault of a quarter of an hour than most people do In a week , " Is the way some devotee describes the latest fad of the " 400 , " although one of the oldest of athletic exercises. The modern school of fencing Is founded upon the old sword play of Spain , and was Introduced Into France by travelers from that country , and Into Italy through the con quest of Sicily by the Spanish Dourbons. From Henry III , who was himself an ex pert fencer , down to Louis XVI , the tradi tions of the French school was preserved without Interruption , and the return of the Bourbons , after the fall of Napoleon was the Hlgnal for a grand renaissance of the art. America has now joined the ranks of the countries to worship at the shrine of the foil , and men and women arc feeling Its beneficial Influences. The Fencers' club of Omaha will give Its first monthly exhibition tomorrow night , and the Inlerest In the coming assault Is quite remarkable , considering the very short time the club has bean tn existence. While the. personnel of the club Is the best possible In dication of Its high character , It Is the In tention of Ihe members lo subordinate- social tealure and make It a club of fencers for fencing.

Smith , whoso newest c'mpost- tlon , "Hearts' Blossoms , " words by Ethel M. do Fonblanque , has Just made Its ap pearance on the musical editor's table , will bo the guest today and tomorrow of Mr. John Mellern. Mr. Smith has shown very strongly In this latest of his compositions a thorough knowledge of harmony , the com position , which Is dedicated to our friend , B. B. Young , and sung by him In Chicago for the past six months from manuscript , being destined for wide p-pularlty. It Is beautl- - ' fully noted and deservedly ranks among the very best of this young composer's efforts. It Is effective and would prove a valuable addition to any baritone's repertoire , al though It Is written for cither vclco. Mr. Loudon G. Charlton , who has won a great deal of praise from his "September , " a song which has already touched the 5,000 mark , has Just Issued two new composi tions , "Counsel to Girls , " words by Horrlck and dedicated to Camtllo d'Arvllle , the 'other "An Ocean Lullaby , " dedicated to his wife. The first Is a charming song , full of the spirit of the words , and will undoubtedly prove a worthy successor to "September. " "An Ocean Lullaby , " however , does net seem to be In this young composer's best style , the theme being somewhat more dramatic than Is shown In his other songs.
