On the ( amlllar hlppotomlcal principle thai "a ehort hone Is soon currlcJ , " the aoclety events of the past week arc briefly recorded and quickly read. No similar period uhice the penitential coson lias seen so little going on , and even Lent had brisker weeks , for thcro are many , alas , who pursue their pleas- urea unmindful of the obligations of that holy time.

Engagement ! ) ? Well , that la another mat ter. Tli ? younger folk have been aparetitly indefatigable In their Joyotia pursuits through nil the ton Id days and sultry evenings , and It is moro or lets darkly hinted that certain hearts , warmly besclgcd , have not remained altogether obdurate.

If any there be , are not yet Riven out to the hungry readers of the society page , who arc hereby recommended to posstwj their soula with what patlenc" they may and trust to time to bring dot clop- tnelltS.

A certain mem ber ot society , whose memborahlp Is of such n nature as to entitle him to unquestioned r precedence over most ot hla les sforlunate fellows , Is ot present and for a few days enjoying the not unmixed delights of tem porary bachelorhood. Ills social prominence has been attained by genuine merit and un alterable mildness , aided somewhat by the possession and memory of an Illustrious an cestry , and ho Is the very least po alblo given to convivial pleasures , even when his wife Is away. Wherefore his friends were con scious of a mild curlcslty when he appeared ono Sunday morning wearing the dull eyes and the haggard countenance which come IBS from dissipation over night. II "Yoj , " said he , In a voice Inwhich pride and hame strove for the mastery , "I was on a frightful tear last night. 1 visited Schlllz'o nnd Fritz Wlrth's both within an hour !

Ttili trade mark l cut on the Int. c 31H31 Somebody fourM Mil , long ago , that "In union there to HhAiftth. " and to believe In and trust In unl ff an element of strength U decidedly Amprjcan. Universal principles apply to music V lfe4 as surely na to other departments of"lMmtui thought and en deavor , therefore lit 'Is ' reasonable to hold that musicians 111 ad , their cause by work- In gtogethcr ratdvlhsu separately , and In cich other's Interest's rather than against them. ' : ' In many ot tms' ' states the teachers have united In a common educational enterprise known as the Stnto Music Teachers * asso ciation , and arc accustomed to hold annual conventions nt which essays are read , speeches delivered , recitals and concerts given and n spirit of good fellowship de veloped. During the summer the average teacher has very little work to do and h ! time la free to devote to recreation or to per sonal Improvement. The tendency Qf the ago Is to afford , during July and August , facilities whereby ono can secure both these advantages In the same place nnd at the same Him1. The Chautauqua "Idea" Is to afford teachers nnd others the opportunity to study , under the most favorable conditions , during vacation and nt the same time get lest , change and recreation. The teacher loads up for the coming season of labor. He taken on a new stock'of Ideas and Inspira tion which ho hopes will last him until the coming of another mimmc'r. The music teach er needs a like opportunity. He needs new Ideas and new Inspiration and these state as sociations have been organized to give them to him , Not that he again takes lee-sons at his fellow teachers ; education la an Inter change of ideas. When ono has given out store of knowledge on a given subject he has not lost It or forgotten it , but Instead , ho has Impressed it oil the more securely on his own mind. lie has been hla own teacher as well as his fellows' , nnd whjn the music teachers of n gre.it slate met ! In convention and talk over In public nnd private musical history and Interpretations they have benefited thciiiRclvia nnd each other. When they discuss the various needs of the different towns , become aware of the nrt conditions that prevail In them and set their minds to Improve wheris Impruvumi'iit is possible they have taken up the most valu able line of work ( hat can over como before them and one which helps him most who is meat actively engaged In It. Musicians should bo personally acquainted : they should know each other and try to de velop n broad friendship. There Is a feeling among those outside of music , but who must bo rolled upon to suppoit It , that there can bo no harmony among musicians who are always In a Jangle among themselves and can therefore never work together. That la an error. All the great musical enterprises In the world are possible because musicians do work together. A musician la by neces sity a convictions member of a community nnd whatever he docs Is also conspicuous. If ho h.iH n little trouble or misunderstand ing with a fellow musician people know It , and , very unfortunately , exaggerate it until a reconciliation Is rendered diulcult. As a general thing If the musicians were left to themselves their troubles would die fiom lack ot fuel. It Is certain that , the music teachers of n great state can benefit themselves greatly nnd Increase thptr power for good to .their state by getting together , becoming ac quainted with each ether and learning to worJs together. Nebraska has no state organization of HE music teachers. Indeed there has been so llttlo unity of action , among Its musicians nnd music teachers that our grea't state 1 ? almost an , unknown country In the realm of art. Nothing IB doni' unless somebody does It , and "what Is everybody's business is nobody's ; " therefore 'hothlng has been done to unite the musical forces of the state and center then upon Its artistic development. The writer believes' ' It to bo time to form nn organization which shall Include all the meritorious n-uslo teachora In the state. In each county there are a h"umber of earnest workers in the education of the public who should come together , get acquainted , exchange - change ideas , develop new enthusiasm and prepare to go back to. their various fields of usefulness ready to ; do , more than ever before for the upbuilding of art In Nebraska. Next summer the Tranamlfslssippl Expo sition will be In Kcslcn In Omaha and It would be to the advantage of every teacher in the state to have the first convention held here during the progress of the ex position. If Its musical department Is well organized no music teacher can afford to miss hearing Its great concerts and coming In contact with Its artistic atmosphere. Four or five da > o spent in convention and at concerts would be a liberal education to the many Viho cannot go to Chicago or New York to attend the opera or to upend the slimmer The teachers of thla state should consider the proposition of a State Music Teachers' association. Experience in other states has led to the conclusion that It Is a eourco ot benefit to all who have a part In It. In the musical department at Chautauqua , N. Y. , the west Is well represented. Among the most prominent singers now upon Its platform is Miss 7.ora Gladys Norlockur , not long since a resident of Hastings , now of New- York City. Miss Norlocker posaetses a contralto voice of grent power and beauty and slnga with a power that U contagious. Another westerner Is Henry Vincent. sen of Rev. B. T. Vincent , and nephew of Blnhop John H. Vincent , the founder of Chautauqua. "Harry" Is hero on his merits and la a pianist ot rare ability. He la the accompanist for the Assembly and plajs some forty accompaniments each week. Of course he la a remarkable reader and a thorough musician. He has composed a number of bongs , ( several of which have been aung this season. Ho has been a pupil of William II. Sherwood. Chautauqua has a fine music school , a chorus of 500 voices and a clientele from some forty elates. There are two Nebraskans - kans in the choir. The south Is well repre sented and all this ahowa how wonderfully music will draw.

Mr. Wood In his Interview today kays that Dr. BurdeU'n housekeeper , Mrs. Emma Augusta Cunningham , confessed herself the murderess , strangling the doc tor with n cord while John J. Eckel , her paramour , stabbed him with a dentist's ex cavator. The confession , according to Mr. Wood , was made to Mrs. Dr , James Fowler , Wood'n grandmother , and wife of the mur dered doctor's partner In dentistry. Mrs. Cunningham hoped to prove herself Dr , BurdcH's wife nnd secure his $100,000 es tate. Mrs. Cunningham made n confidant ot Mm. Fowler because the latter had bu- friended her. Mr. Woods says the secret would not have been divulged but for recent unpleasant experiences which the Wood and Fowler families have oustalncd In making claims lo the estate ot Ilr.
