Compared with the unusual activity ol
the tltno Immediately about Now Year's ,
the week just pant lias hccn a blessed period
of moderate rest and refreshment to mlndi
and bodies wearied with the relentless round
of social pleasures. The respite , however ,
has not been for all elements of the local
world of society.
The advent of the Chicago University
Glee club the drat of the week was the
occasion for two or three more on less for
mal functions and It was a cnuse of com
ment that those social entertainments drew
out more of the so-called pollto sot than
did the musical feast which these young
men set before the general public which
attended their concert.
The Hoagland dance on Wednesday In
honor of Miss Hoagland's guests wan ono
of the enjoyable affairs of tlic season , as
well forthe completeness of details as for
the surplus of men which Is always the
sure remedy for wall flowers.
The week was Braced further with the
coming-out reception of one more debutante ,
ono who at the beginning of the social year
had not been announced with the 1896-7
crop of buds. Only ono or two more de-
butantc functions remain for the present
season.
An excellent and wholly moral tale Is
being told of certain young people not un
known In a rank of society which subsists
Bomcwhat ICHS than a thousand mllca from
Omaha. The scene IB laid at a large hotel ,
and the cocas-Ion Is a great and brilliant
dance. The Immediate actors are a bud of
a year or two back , an out-of-town man , and
a mischievous , dare-devil maiden. The
spacious halls and georgotm walls , ablaze
with light , glvo joy again to all. Couples are
seated en tctc-a-tete along1 the corridor and
In < ] Ulct nooks and corners , while the son-
SUOIM strains of a waltz accompany the
trip of Hying feet In the ball room beyond.
A dani.se ! and her escort suddenly Issue forth
from the crowd of dancers , skirt the hall
hastily , glance around them , and enter the
man's room hard by the landing. The man
shoves the door In passing In , and It falls
to 'with a bang.
In their haste neither member of the party
notices that the key protrudes on the out
side of the door. It is Just at tlili point
that the mischievous , dare-devil maiden
comes gliding along the hall. She splea the
closed door and the tempting key , and , after
' turns It in
a moment's hesitation , deftly
the lock. There Is a click. The Imprisoned
couple rush to the door , but find It fast. The
panels quiver under the touch of the sup
pressed Indignation. A hurried consultation
la held behind closed doors ) , and finally the
only way out of the dilemma Is accepted.
The bell rings. The boy from the ofllce responds
spends quickly. "What Is wanted , sir ? "
"Turn that key and let us out , " comes the
mullled response. The out-of-town man and
the season-old debutante emerge with their
wraps , and the atmosphere Is decidedly
chilled as they wend their way toward the
carriage door.

In Honor of the ( ! Ire Club ,
Tint the welcome extended to the Chicago
University Glco club , either In a social or

dial , was largely duo to the very Inclement
weather which prevailed on Monday and kept
people within doors so far as might be
during the afternoon and evening.
Despite the untoward condition of the
weather , however , the tea given In honor
of thcso college men by Miss Gertrude
Clarke at the Mlllard , between the hours of
3 and G. was a most enjoyable affair. The
university colors were profusely displayed ,
nnd were Incorporated Into the floral decora
tions and arrangement of the light.

John D. Davis of California naked for n

fornia could produce nil the lead ores needed
liy American smelters nnd had begun , to sup-
lily the demand under tne McKlnley law ,
out the business hnd stagnated under the
WI'.Bon bill. The product ho represented con-
tnlm.-d 30 to CO per cent of lead and 30 per
cent of silver.
Dwlght A. Jones of Now York , represent
ing the St. Joseph Load company , spoke- for
protection which would enable Americans to
conserve their lead supply and prevent the
abandonment of mlne.s. The bonding sjs-
tcm enabled the Mexican ores to affect the
American market. Injuriously. Under the
Wilson law they controlled the market.
Representative- Hermann of Oregon recom
mended a duty of 10 cents a pound on nickel
In behalf of his constituents. Ho recalled
that congress pamcd a rc.'olutlon In 1831
authorizing the ( secretary of the navy to
contract for the purchase of $1,000,000 worth
of nickel for armor plate on the assumption
that It could not be produced In the United
States. Since tljat tlmo ores had been dis
covered In various parts of the United
Slates : In Nevada , 15 per cent ; In Jackson
county , North Carolina , and Fremont county.
Colorado , bearing from 12 to 21 per cent , and
lu Sallno county , Arkansas , In Washington
and Oregon , where In his county there wan
a mountain of the ore. The Oregon pro
ducers claimed to bo able to produce nickel
1 cents a pound cheaper than the Cnnadlani
Representative Turner of Georgia sugges
ted that If Americans could do that It would
ba necessary to offer a bounty to Canadians
to compete. To this Mr. Hermann replied
that ns soon as Americans got Into the mar
ket the Canadians combined to drive them
out. Freight rates also favored the Canadian
product.
A reply wia made by Robert M. Thomp
son of New York , the principal refiner of
nickel In thojjnittd States. H'.i ' statement
was thnt hefandMr. Wharton of Camdcn ,

II. J. Cantwcll npoke fcr the Missouri
Ansoclztlon of Lead Miners , lie oaid that
the nrsoclntlon had nothing to do with the
output or pilce.i , that the labor ccat of pro
ducing lead vas to great a factor that It

ot the companies except a few In the south

complained that mcltlcg of ores In bond

The mibjcct of pig Ircn wco next taken
up. William A. Blugham of Philadelphia
tor ( h ? EiEtcrn Pig Iron association , com-
iic-aeil of the stneltcra east of the Allu-
jhnnlts , rskcd a restoration of the duly
: o the McKinley rate of C.72 cents a ton
"If wo raise the duty on pig Iron , we
must on bars , " suggested Mr. Dalzell.
"Not ueceiaarllv. " waa the ansxver.
"In other voids , a ralso all along the
lino" rcmsrkcd Chairman Dlngley.
"Italics where they arc ncccusary. "
"iince less lies been Imported under the
Wilson law than the McKlnley law , how
has It hurt jou ? " Mr. Payne faked.
"It has not hurt us , Lut It will when
binlne.ss revives , for I know how cheaply
England can produce It. "
Mr. McMlllIn declared that the Tennessee
Coal and Iron company had exported 70,000
tons to Great Britain In the past four or
five months and practically controlled the
price.
Mr. Steel ? asked him If the Tennessee
company favored free pig Iron , to which Mr.
McMlllIn replied negatively.
Mr. Ingham aald the Tennessee company
w.i.i disposing of Its surplus.
J. M. N. Shinier of the same n&ioclatlon
stated that the present price of pig Iron
In the United States was lower than In
England , the result of home competition.
R T. Smith , a representative of the canned
goorti oasoclatlon of Baltimore , protested
rgalmt hny IncrcMO In the tin plato
dutlcg , on the cround that they would do-
cnsse the government' ! revenue am ? ' enable
homo manufacturers to raise prices. Three
Baltimore tin plate mills , ho 'said , had bean
clo"ed under the Wilson law , but the wlt-
nN3 thought fr-Jm other causes than that
! IRW. For a year past American tin plain
' bed been from/15 U > 25 cents per 109 pounds

J. G. Battcller , j president of the Plqm
Rolling Mill cqqjpajiy , In brlmlf of the sheet
Iron and shret , a.tfel makers , u.ikcil a tariff
on taggers' ahectfiard lighters' gauges , which
would glvo the homo market to American
producers. ' ' t
Rcpregcntatlvri Morse of MassachusottH
in a do a atateniQiit In behalf of tack manu
facturers , who , In his district , employed 1,000
men before tho"\VIIson law , under which the
Gcnr.atu had captured the American market.
A change from' ml. valorem to specific was
aakcd by him.-- '
Representative ! SUnpklns of Massachusetts
spoke on the wne question , caking that
nails ouo and 'one-fourth Inches and ahortcr
bo Included In ' ( he Schedule- with tacks ,
THE M > Jn'KET , ADNORMAL.
Another memb'ej- the castcrn ncsoolatlon ,
J , C , Thropp of Everett , Pa , , nddrcsscd the
ccmmlttco after the recess. The smelters
regarded the present condition of the market
as abnormal , ho eulil. Prices hero wcro
lower than they should be. At present the
Wilson law , providing for a duty of fl a
ton , was tmlllclont protection. The depres
sion In the United States market was duo
to domestic competition and decreased con
sumption. Lust year's consumption was
1,700,000 tons less than that of 1892. The
view of tbo association was that on products
North American resources could mipply for
American consumption the duties should bo
high enough to keep out foreign goods.
W. C , Croucmoyer of I'lttsburg asked , the
following advances In tin platco and similar
wares : On tin plates or alieotu of Iron or
Hteel , from 1 1-Dc to lc a pound ; uhcct
Iron or sheet ntccl , polished or glazed , from
Vdo to Vic n pound ; nhect , common or black ,
between lOe and 2Bc ; wire KAURO , from
l-lOo to 1 2-10c. The wltnrffl s.ild that
congress had guaranteed nix years' protec
tion when the McKlnley bill wag passed to
the tin pinto Interests , and since then Provl-
dcnco had favored thorn after the govern
ment had deserted them , and they hnd been
able to continue In business. American engi
neers had been able to make great' Improve *
mcnt , but the manufacturer had been obliged
to reduce wages to llvo. The wltncni com
plained that the Standard Oil company ob
tained rotes on tlncwarc , Imported , and after ,
ward shipped out of the country with oil , the
labor on which would give American work
men $5,000,000 n year , It made In the United
States.
John Jarrctt of Plttsburg spoke In addition
on the subject of drawbacks. Eighty per
cent of the goods receiving the benefit of
drawbacks , ho said , was tin plate. Tinplate
plato making could not have been continued
In the United States under the Wilson law
except for the reduction of 25 per cent In
wages and the cheaper prices of steel plates
resulting from the general depression of the
business.
SHOTGUN MANUFACTURERS.
The shotgun manufacturers were repre
sented by Mr. Thomas Hunter of Cayuga
county , Now York. They wished specific
Instead of nd valorem duties nnd a system
which would prevent the consignment of
parts of guns to different ports In the United
States to bo put together , thus evading tbo
duty on the finished articles. He said that
since the adoption of the Wilson law wages
hod been reduced 3S per cent and the workIng -
Ing forces reduced GO per cent. Gun barrels ,
ho said , could not be manufactured In tliu
United States and should bo kept on the
free list.
R. E , Hastings of Philadelphia spoke for
the makers of gold , silver nnd aluminum
leaf. The wages In the United States had
averaged $18 a week and In Germany ? C a
week before 1S03. The chief cost of the
products was labor nnd the only way the
Americans had been able to continue In
business In 1S9G had been to accept wages
as low us those paid abroad.
II. W. Hartman of Elwood City , Pa. , spoke
for the makers of seamless tubes. The busi
ness had grown In four years so that It now
employed many thousand men , three or four
millions being Invested. The chief use of
the product Is In bicycles. The manufac
turers decided upon changes which would
prevent the undervaluation prevalent under
ad valorem rates ,
C. D. Storrcs of New Jersey advocated
higher duties on antimony to develop the
Interest In the western states , which needed
protection1 against the competition of Eng
land and Japan.
Here the committee adjourned.

MUSIC.
SPS ?
The Omaha Musical society will glvo lln
thh-d concert for the present season at
Crelghton theater , Monday evening , February
1 , In conjunction with the following artists :
Mine. Lillian Nordlca. prlma donna soprano ;
Mine. Soflo Sealchl , prlma donna contralto ;
Baron Dartholdl , tenor ; John C. Dcmpsey ,
baza , and Isadora Luckstone , pianist.
A noted philosopher of the present day has
said that tl'.ero la always good In things
evil , and It nec.med evil enough when Mmo.
Nordlca cancelled her da'ca ' for the tour to the
Pacific coast , which Included the Omaha en
gagement for November 17 , but then It waste
to have been only Mine. Nordlca and a
tenor singer. Now Omaha music levers will
hear an array of artiste , such as Is rarely
found together outsldo the great Metropoli
tan Opera company. Each jncmber of her
company will bo heard In a solo , and thcro
will be several concerted pieces , In which
all the vocal artists will appear. The laat
number OH the program will be the "King's
Prayer rnJ Flnaio" to the fliut act of "Lohon-
grln , " by Wagner. In thla wonderful com
position all the artists will bo heard In con
junction with the musical society.
It was In "Lohengrin" that Mmo. Nordlca
appeared at the great Wagner festival at
Bayreuth nnd made the success which placed
her In the front rank among the Wagner
Eilngcrs of the world. The Interpretation
of "Elsa" was considered by the Germans as
equal to any over seen and heard at the
Mecca of music drama. Mm mo. Nordlca
Is an American woman , born and educated
In New England , and ono of tbo flret Amor-
lean singers to force arrogant , bigoted
Europe tu acknowlcdgu that the land of the
"whlto Indian" can produce anything but a
tradesman. These dear little people at the
Metropolitan opera In Now York found out
last year that they could not utaml competi
tion with tbo American girl , and when the
American people crowned her queen of
song , they began to plot to exclude her from
her rightful position. They succeeded , but
It has not been a profitable venture for
them , a time will show. If they should sud
denly find that Europe was good enough
for them. It might bo because America
thought Itself too good for them ,
The musical society will bo heard In three
numbers , and the orchestra , Increased to
thirty-two musician ) , will perform the
Vorsplel to "Boabdll , " a Moorish opera , bj
Mmkon-akl , a N'nlksllcd , from n Nordlsehe
Suite , " by Afgor Hitmerlck , and the hallo !
muslo from the third art of "tho Queen ol
Saba , " by Goldtnarl ; . The flrat orchestra
rchraiTmla hold Thursday afternoon , and
demonstrated that the work at the Nordlcn
concert will surpass that dnno at the Novem
ber concert , nnd that seemed good enough
for anybody.
Performances nominally for pay , but
actually free , ore still affording food for
thought. Liiat Tuesday evening at the
Crelghton theater Frank Lea Short gave n
dramatic entertainment of n high degree
of excellence tn what seemed to bp n vcmu-
noratlva lioiiho. There w'Cro certainly plenty
of people present , but , after the rent of
the theater had been paid , two whole dollars
remained with which to Kettle some $10
worth of printing advertising and cottu-
mrrs' bills. Mr , Short charged B& cents for
the best scats In the theater , but as ho hna
uot found empty scats especially apprecia
tive ho distributed fieo tickets to eecurc
the appearance of an audience. Ho bus lived
In Omaha for some tlmo ; ho has been thcro
before. He plajed to lese , nnd ho lost. It Is
safe to say that there was no ono In that
audience who could not have afforded CO
cents for n ticket much easier than Mr.
Short could have afforded $10 for the
privilege of doing all the- work Involved In
giving them a gratis entertainment. Tht1
magnificent bouquet ol itsrs presented to him
by hla frlcmU was a grateful luUlmonnl of
their appreciation , but giving entertain'
mcnts Is n business , and Its deserves that
sort of recognition. Music or dramatic art
can bo developed In no other way. The
flowers fade , the pleasant memories become
dim ; the empty pockbnok remains.
*
Music costs money ; so does dramatic art.
Lessons cost money , and money coela the
.most of us' labor. Why should wo give' our
music away nny more than our money ? It
was money once , nnd It ought to be worth
what It has ccst. When ono gives you his
music , bo Is Indirectly giving you hla money.
It Is just ns surely o as If he gnvo you his
hat or hU coat ; both cost money some time ,
and both cost labor. Churches seem to think
that they havea Just claim on humanity
for music. Because there la free muslo In
heaven , It Is no sign that It must be free
on earth. There la free manna up there ,
and the water of life la ever plenty. Even
water Is not tree hero , nnd If It wcro , so
many things llvo In It that while It might
merit the same nnino as Is applied to that
of heaven , yet the conditions are ao different
that It Is hardly a safe drink. So far as
can bo discovered , heavenly singers and
players are In no need of lessons , and are
saved that expense. They have no house
rent to pay. no gas and coal bills that
Isn't the place where they burn things as
has been Insinuated , there are no board
bills. Everything U free , and so Is music.
There Is a fltncos of things In such a state
that Is not to bo found on the earth. Hero
very little Is free. Why ahould music , which
costs so much to the Individual , be consid
ered public property ? The public desires
good music and faithful service. Then let
it buy It , and In paying for It , so encourage
It as to build up the art to the full extent of
Its Inherent grandeur.

Tomorrow evening at the First Congrega
tional church Clarence Eddy will glvo an
organ concert. Mr. Eddy la the greatest
organist thU country lies over produced , and
one of the greatest In the world. Ho has

Paris , Rome and other European cities , and

os St. Saens , Alexander Gullmant , Rlu-ln-
bcrger nnd Thcodoro Dubols , tbo new direc
tor of the Paris Conservatoire.
No other organist of American birth has
ever achieved bitch triumphs. It Is a great
opportunity for the people of Omaha to hear
this artist , and much credit Is duo to .Mm.
Frances Ford for making the arrangements
by which Mr. Eddy will visit Omaha. It Is
to bo thought that bo will bo accorded a
liearty welcome. A reception will bo given

The Woman's club and Its friends were en
tertained by Mr. Taber In an organ recital
at the First Congregational church on Mon
day evening. The program was well adapted
to show the skill and versatility of the or
ganist , and lilt playing was , ao usual , both
brilliant and dlanlflcd. Mrs. I51v. wlm ns-
sLUed Mr. Taber , was much admired for
the dramatic effect she produced In Mcttel's
song , "Putrla. " She also sang "Love , " by
Godard.

Another valuable musician Is about to
leave Omaha. Mr. W. T. Taber , after a
residence hero of twelve years , Is to remove
to New York. At his departure this city will
lose the finest organist It has ever been
privileged to claim as Its own.
A testimonial concert will bo given to him
at the First Congregational church Monday
evening , January 18 , at which Messrs. Gohm ,
Albert , McCuno and Moore will assist.
Omaha will there and then have an oppor
tunity to show Its real appreciation of the
largo number of free organ recitals which
Mr. Taber has given , and to remunerate
him for a little of the tlmo and labor spent
In educating the masses concerning organ
music. HOMER MOORE.
