Mr. W. L. Tomllns. for many years direc
tor of the- Apollo Musical club of Chicago
and an enthusiastic apostle and promoter of
singing for and by the American people. glves
much useful and Interesting Informatlo'n re
garding the paat and present work of the
club In the preparatory statement of a , cir
cular calling for original songs , distinctively
American In character , which Is being sent
to the press of the country. After reviewing
the concerts for working people Inaugurated
by the Apollo club In 1SS3 he outlines
the outgrowth of these concerts embodied In
children's vocal classes , held In the missions
and settlements of Chicago , and the work
ing people's choruses at Hull-House person
ally directed by Mr. Tomllns. Ho then says :
"The residents have given the work hearty
encouragement , and Mr. H. N. Hlglnbotham
haj collected a fund for Us support. The
possibilities of the work are Immeasurable , so
large is the field and so great the- cravings
of the pupils. Up to the present time , however
over , there have been limitations. The work
Ing force of teachers Is Inadequate ; the funds
at Mr. Hlglnbotham's dlspoaal are Insufficient
and there Is a deplorable dearth of approprl
ate music , " especially good songs which In
character are distinctly American. That was
truly an American Idea to place the 'plough
horje' In the very center of the Court of
Honor at the World's fair. It Is In the same
sense that we need , not eonga of conquest or
songs of tawdry sentimentality , but songs of
the firesldo and of the family , and especially
songs which dignify labor and express Us
hopes of emancipation. There Is good author
ity for the statement that In labor assem
blies and kindred gatherings the distinctively
labor songs ore too often only those which
wore birn cut of the bitterness of past strife ,
such as that of Homestead and Pullman , the
spirit ofwhich , aside from the doggerel of
Its word expression should never be voiced In
song. "

Notwithstanding the fact that many mem
bers of the Woman's club were busy Wednes
day afternoon with the May , Day edition o
The Bee a large [ an.d fashionable audience
assembled In the club"rcom to hear the last
muslcale- the bea > uti. < Before the opening
of the program the department held a bus !
ness meeting , at which Mra. Buchanan wa
unanimously re-elected leader for the comlni
year. She , however , declined to serve an
a committee composed cf Mrs. Mclntosh , Mrs
Stlger and Mrs. Squires was applnted t
secure a leader and report at the fir t clu
meeting In October. It was the expressei
wish that Mrs. Buchanan would reconside
her decision and accept the position whlc
she has so ably filled for the past two years
The following resolutions presented by Mr
iiicluuian were unanimously adopted :
Wherens , The musicians of Omaha now
members of our club , feeling an Interest I
he growth of music for music's sale0 , hav
aided us most cheerfully from time to time ,
be It
Resolved , That we , the members of th
Musical society of the Omaha Woman's
club , tender them our grateful appreciation
and unbounded thanks , and bo it also
Resolved. That we extend our thankful
acknowledgments to the press of Omaha
'or their Kindness in publishing our notices
and our programs , and their encouragement
n friendly reviews.
Resolved , That these resolutions bo spread
upon our records nnd that a copy of them
bo furnished to the press for publication.
The program was unusually fine and was
thoroughly enjoyed. Rarely , If ever , has an
Omaha audience listened to such artistic and
finished ensemble playing as that of Mme.
Muenteferlng and Mrs. Mclntosh. Both are
accomplished planlstes. but apart from that
there was clearly a most sympathetic feeling
visible throughout their playing which is net
usually to be met with among the best of
musicians without long training and practice
under a competent director. The two Chopin
numbers "F minor Concerto" and "Rondo
In C major" were given with especial pre
cision and harmony of expression. Mrs.
Estabrook , a favorite with Omaha audiences ,
appeared li : two numbers , "Arise , for the
World Rejclces , " by Hies , and a group of
threa songs by McDowell , Ncvln and Roy L.
Smith. As usual she was warmly and de
servedly applauded.
Mr. Homer Moore gave a most entertain
ing talk on the viola-alto , a solo Instrument
heard for the first time In Omaha at this
recital. In closing his remarks Mr. Moore
paid the society a rare compliment for Its
efforts In behalf of all that Is highest and
bast In music. Among other good things the
society has always been prompt to recognize
ability , even when coming unheralded and
unknown. Last Wednesday Mr. Rudolph
Engel was Introduced to Omaha music lovers
- - a soloist of undoubted ability on the
viola-alto. This Instrument , resembling both
the violin and 'csllo , has recently been In
vented by Mr. Hermann Hitter , maker and
teacher of the viola , and a well known com
poser. Mr. Engel Is one of the two per
formers on this Instrument In the United
States and is a pupif "of Mr. Hitter. He Is
a thorough musiclarf and a pianist of un
questioned ablUt # . 'ft Is hcped he will re
main here and help' to make- our city the
musical center of the west.
At the close of. ttia program Mrs. Buchanan
presented to the club a group of beautiful
portraits of Beethoven , Mozart , Wagner ,
Schumann and Liszt. On behalf of the
club Mrs. F. M. 'Ford accepted the gift of
tha musical department In her usual fortu
nate manner and ( he meeting adjourned amid
a shower of ccngralulatlons.
Eugene Ysaye , tile. Belgian violinist , will
be heard in Omaaa at Boyd's Tuesday even
ing , June 4. It Is through the untiring
efforts of Mr. AUolph Meyer and his per
sistence that muslbi lovers will have a chance
to listen to this ercvt artist. Since Ysaye's
arrival In this country It has been one con
tinuous triumph -wherever he has appeared.
The violin In his hand , seems a living , sentient
being. His style Isi-essentlally masculine ,
and U yet graceful to the verge of coquetry.
Ho POSSBSHS marvelously ths secret of the
bel canto , for even In passages of mere
bravura , or to exhibit the Instrument , he
succeeds by an almost Imperceptible length
ening of some essential note , making the
' Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report
melodic phrase stand out as clear as though
played upon another Instrument. lie has
superb Mnccato , particularly In the down
bow. From the first moment that his bow
touches the strings you feel the Influence
of his personality. There can be but one
opinion about M. Y ayc n. an artist , It he
be not , ns has been said , absolutely the
greatest living violinist , he Is certainly
among the very first , and the question of
degree Is hardly worth discussing In his case
any more than U wua In that of M. Pade-
rewskl.

"Captain Wallop 'Em" and "French Slam-

songs , and these she had never sung before
last Monday night. The chorus of "Captain
Wallop 'Em" Is as follows :
When 1 was captain of the Saucy Jane

i We chased the pettifoggers oft the main

When once the focmen caught my eye , they
knew they had to tly or die !
I tell the truth , I scorn a He by gosh , by

They nil knew Captain Wallop 'Em.

Head what these who have tried this

; ratltudo for Its benefits :
Mrs. H. U. Thompson , l'J2'J Shernmu

laker a thorough trial , says :
"Tho test I gave Kirk's Ualn Water
Inker was quite satisfactory , and I am
ure It Is just the thing that la wanted
'or the purposes for which It Is used.
Mv husband uses It for removing oil
ind grease from his hands , and 11 does
he work better than any preparation
Jmt he has ever tried and leaves the
in better shape. "
"Ilaln Water Maker" will soften the
liardest of water , making all waters soft
uml velvety. This valuable prepara
tion will hold colors from running In
printed goods , also prevent bluing from

, ) iis washed In water prepared by this
iireparallon will positively not shrink ,
while It Increases their lastliiK quality
ntul durability. For ( he bath or toilet
"Ualn Water Maker" Is exquisite , as It
makes the water velvety and pliable ,
thereby accelerating the action of sonp
and helping it to remove any superflu
ous excretions that may adhere to the
body.
Da your printed goods run and fade ?
Do your llnnnels shrink and become
hard ? Do they feel uncomfortable ! It
so ask your grotvr for a package of
Kirk's Ualn Water Maker a large two-
