AUnURN. Neb , Feb 20 ( Special ) An-
olhei Incident In the trouble between nishop
Uonacum and hla priests , Father Fltrgcrald
and Father Muiph } , occuired hero this week
The friends , of Mm M. A Englcs , who died
a few das ago , are all adherents , ot the
blrhop nnd In consequence altend services
under Father Feen } , who seeks to obtain pos
session of Father Flt/gcrald's mission Ho
sought to obtain permission to hold the
funeral aervlco In St. Joseph's church and
for burial ot the remains In the ccmcter }
belonging thereto Doth church and cemetery
tery are by the various decrees of th" civil
and ecclesiastical courts declared to be In
the possession of Father Flt7gcrald. The
tequest was albo accompanied by a request
that Father Fitzgerald take no p-irt In
the ceiemonj , and that Father Peony , the
contesting priest , should take entire charge
Father Fitzgerald granted what wa& asked ,
except as to Father Fceny taking charge
of the service. This last he declined to
permit , but said If they would get any other
pi lest to take control of the service he
would have no objection to Father Teeny
assisting at the service ; also that as re
quested ho would absent himself. The incs-
s"iiers , County Clerk II , E. Peny and
Sheriff S. P. Glasgow , returned hla answer
to the family and It was said to be en
tirely batlsfactoiy and that arrangements
would bo made to secure the attendance
of another priest to conduct the service
Father Fitzgerald , acting upon the assump
tion , that this arrangement as reported back
to him from the friends ot the deceased
was acceptable , had the church arranged foi
the funeral service and HIP announcements
were made , stating that the funeral was to
ho held at St. Joseph's church. When the
Cuncral cortege arrived In front of the chinch ,
where It stopped , Father Fceny , unaccom
panied by any other priest , came to the par
sonage and asked for the keys of the church
that he might hold the c.ervice. The request
was refused. The funeral party then pro
ceeded to the Catholic cemetery , connected
with the church , and without any objec
tions on the part of Fitzgerald , held a short
service at the grave.
Father Plt7gerald says ho acted under the
Bdvlco of his attorneys ; that they aJvlsed
him that to give Father Fceny possession
would bo the abandonment ot everthing he
had contended for against the bishop , and
would bo a bottlement of the controveisy
against himself

LINCOLN , Fob. 20 ( Special. ) An effort
Is being mmlo by Secretary of State Porter ,
assisted by others , to enable the ofllCD In
his charge to become self-supporting. This
Is to bo accomplished by means of a bill
now pending In both house and senate to
Increase the fees of the office to some pro
portion with tlic expenses. There are many
states In the Union In which all the de
partments arc self-supporting , and from
Eome of them a handsome profit la derived.
In Nebraska , lion ex cr , there has been no
attempt at economical financiering. The hi-
cnnluin appropriation for the secretary of
state's office , for the last term , $18,000 ,
was all expended , while the receipts were
only $1.07712. leaving a loss of $10322.88.
The bill which has been Introduced provides
stKTlclcnt revenue to be raised from fees to
more than make up this deficit.
In this connection It Is Interesting to note
the condition of some of the other states
of the Union. Secretary of State Porter has
written to many states and from the answers
received the following Information Is gained
T. J. Hammond , secretary of state of
Utah , writes from Salt Lake City that the
receipts of his ofllro are $19,259.80 and the
total ofllce expenditures , Including his o\vn
salary of $2,000 , arc but $4,500 , leaving a
net profit to the state of $14,759 90 from this
OMO department.
In New York there Is a small deficit. Sec
retary of State 1'hclps writes that the re
ceipts per annum for the last fiscal jcar
were $33 Oil IS and expenditures $3 i,3l2.02
Connecticut shows up with a deficit
$7.000 expenditures and $2,147.35 receipts.
Pennsylvania , according to Secretary of
State Prank Hcedcr , shows a biennial profit
of $30,81071 , the receipts being $8793107
and expenditures $57,090 30.
Michigan shows a deficit , expenditures
$40,000 , receipts , $2IG5JS5 , according to the
report of Secretory of State Gardner.
Secretary of State Klmioy writes from Ohio
that the fees received biennially In his of
llce are $11930915 , with expenditures of
$30,250 , leaving a snug profit to the state.
The biennial receipts of Indiana were $ G1-
155 5r > and expenditures $21,300 , as stated bj
Secretary of State M. I ) Owen.
Illinois makes a good showing , according
to Secretary of State Roie. The fees
amounted for the last fiscal jcar to $140-
375 67 , aga'ns ! an expenditure for clerk hire
and other expenses of tbo olllce of $15,000.
Socretnr } of State La Pallette of West Vir
ginia reports annual collection of fees , $10-
000 and olllce expenses , including salailcs ,
$8,000.
Prom Wisconsin Secretary of State Casson
reports expenses , annually , $25,000 and onlj
$10.000 fees collected , jet a better showing
than Is made b > Nebraska
Sccretaij of State Lcscuer of Missouri re
ports fees collected annual ! } $115,000 and
olllce salaries and expenses $15,500
Iowa breaks about even , but the office In
charge of Secretary of State Dobson receives
In fora airutllj $13,81128 and disburses In
salaries and expenses $11 CJ'J.
W ) oiling does not do so well Her appro
priation for the last biennlum was $4,500 and
fees received , $074 45.
Colorado is a state that is entitled to the
championship medal for shrewd financiering
In the ofllce of secretary of state The bien
nial receipts of this office are renorted at
$21fi,841 72 , and expenses at $108,000. But
the expenses Include $8,000 or $10 000 In sal
aries of deputies In other offices , > et even
this ari.ingeirent leaves the snug profit to
the secretary of state's office of $138,841.72
for the bicntilum.
Ihcso Illustrations are given out by Sec
retary of State Porter for the purpose of
showing what might bo done by the office
over which ho has control , provided the nec
essary assistance was granted by the legis
lature. Such systematic financiering Is far
ahead of cutting down a few salaries of
clerks and heads of state institutions.
In Minnesota the average charge for filing
articles of Incorporation is $50. In Ne
braska the fee Is only from $1 50 to $3.

* * *
Thcro are a number of other composers
In this country at the present tlmo working
upon giand operas which they hope to live
to see produced Some of them are } oung
and may live long enough.
In the field of light opera success has
been more easily attained At the time
when Gilbert and Sullivan produced "The
Pirates' " and "Pinafore" grand opera was
being sung In English by the Emma Ab
bott and ona or two other companies. The
success of the Gilbert & Sullivan opera
stimulated other librettists and other com
posers to direct their efforts Into the same
line of composition , and as a result a num
ber of decidedly inferior works appeared for
a short time before the footlights. lie
Kovan was the first real American com-
possr of light opera to produce a work
which had sufficient merit to give It any
thing llko a permanent existence. His
"Robin Hood" and "Roo Hoy" are among
the best of their class , and his "Mandcrln , "
produced this season In New York and last
Monday for the first tlmo In Chicago , shows
that lie U able to maintain the high stand
ard which he established In those earlier
works. Victor Herbert , for } cars a 'cello
player In Now York orchestras and a com
poser of music In the classical forms , has
recently turned his attention to light opera
His "Annalas , " written foi the Hcston
Ideals , was a moderately successful effort ,
but had the unfortunate characteristic of
being midway between light and grand
opera , and , therefore , neither ono thing nor
the other His "WUard of the Nile , " per
formed last week at the Crclghton , IB one
of the most satisfactory light operas that
has over been written. The music was full
of merit , the harmonies are oillnnl , the
rhthms striking and decide 1 , the ensemble
effects full of po-ver , the writing for the
voice/5 wonderfully vocal , and the orchestra
tion such as could como only from the hand
of ono who has had the largest experience
and obtained the most comprehensive and
accurate knowledge of the great Instrument
of Instruments "The Wizard of the Nile"
Is good music united to a thoroughly re
spectable plot and cntcitalnlng dialogue , and
may well ecrve as a model to composcm
ambitious to make a KUCCCES in a line of
mutlcal composition which appeals readily
to all the people ,

Tomorrow evening at the Auditorium In
Chicago the Metropolitan Opera company will
begin a ecason of four weeks of grand
opera In German , French and Italian , In no

It Is not likely that Omaha will have any

Last Sunday an outline appeared In this

able comments have come to the notice of
the writer and also some objections. It was
pot oxpccted that the plan would bo In
fallible and crltlclfn U always welcome
One objection lulseclwss that the vocal ro-
Eojrcca of the surrounding country are not
sufficient to furnUh a chorus suitable for
Biich a great enterprise. That is a quint Ion
of fact , not of theory. It can be determined
only by actual Investigation , and one of the
first utepe for the musical department of the
exposition to take should be to canvas nil
this tcirltory nnd sum up Its mourccsj
There are many choruses now organized ;
others probably could bo If the slimers exist
and they vvero made to feel tlutt they might
become parts of n gieat enterprise In whlcU
they could take pride.
utrr nil the UKomcm had been determined
Hint could bo counted upon , the program for
the entire peilol ot the- exposition could bo
made out , tlav for day , week for week , anil
the music allotted to the various svcletlcB
so that each should be prepired on that to
bo performed dm Ing Its visit hero. Ot
cotirfo It will bo necos'vuy to begin early In
order to accomplish thU and it will mein
a lot of work. There will bo much traveling
nnd much correspondence. Whoever ma'ies '
the programs will need it broad outlook upon
the field of musical composition , choral , or
chestral and solo
One ot the mo t delicate elements In the
whole matter will bo the election of miiolo
which will DC Intel eating , not enl ) to these
who aic to learn It and perform It but to
these who are to hear It The progranm
