HAYDEN DROS.
Mayor Ensor announced yesterday that
ho would sign the now gas ordinance be
tween now and the regular meeting of the
council next Monday night. The mayor slid
iV-st evening/ithat ho had gone over the
ordinance carefully and could seen nothing
objectionable In It. The rights ot the city ,
ho says , are fully protected and tbo fact
that the council was unanimous In voting
for it Is conclusive evidence that the people
ple desire the franchise to bo granted. Ho
thinks that the people favor home industry
over foreign competition nnd ns the ylant
proposed by tbo now company Is to bo
erected here nnd employment given to South
Omaha people there can bo no possible ob
jection to the ordinance becoming a law.
It remains to bo seen , the mayor snld ,
whether Messrs. Flynn , Crcssey and Wy-
man , the promoters , nre acting In good
faith.

AMUSEMENTS.
Last evening at Doyd's theater Fanny
Dloomficld Zclslcr gnve a piano recital. She
was assisted by Mrs. Martin Cahn. The
audlcnco was largo and fairly appreciative ;
It was rarely enthusiastic , although It had
abundant eaubc to bo so. This coldness may
)0 properly attributed to the program , which
was poorly chosen for a popular concert.
The first four numbers were by Deethove
and cons'stcd of the Mtnuctt In E flat , th
Dagatclle , opus 119 , number 2 , the chorus o
Jervlshca as transcribed by Saint Saen
nnd the Turkish March , from the "Ruins o
Vthcns , " ns transcilhed by Rubinstein. Th
two latter are interesting only as musica
curies , and whllo they gave the perfoimc
a chance to display borne fine playing o
octaves and octaves with thlids , they wer
an unknown language to the audience nn
njured the effect of what was to follow
Those who are not familiar with Dcethovcn'
iiusto should not Judge it or him by thcs
lumbers , for although they were playec
vonderfully well , they are but the foan
floating upon the mighty ocean of hi
genius.
The most Interesting piano number wa
ho "Etudes Symphoniques , opus 13 , " b
Schumann. This composition consists of
scries of studies written In tlio freest styl
nnd each a tort of tone picture , complete li
Itself. They give the performer an abund
ant opportunity to display all orders o
technique. In ono tlare occurs a fuga
Imitation which was so well played tha
each reappearance of the theme seemed t
possess nn Individual tone color. The las
ono was given with a sense of humor tha
was icfrcshlns-
The Chopin numbers were brilliantly
played and a massive grandeur was Infusci
Into the Polonaise , opus 63 , that shoulc
have arousul Intense enthusiasm. Memlcls
sohn was represented by two songs wlthou
words , the second of which was repented
The program closed with the Rhapsodic
number 13 , by Liszt. A technical feature o
Its rendering was n trill executed with the
second and third fingers , ns an accompani
ment to a theme played by the third aiu
fourth fingers of the same hand.
Mme. Zclslcr played two encores , the
first ot which was nn Impromptu in F
sharp by Chopin ; the second an arrangement
of themes from "Lucia dl Lammermoore , '
by Donizetti , nnd played by the left bam
entirely. In this latter number the pianist
did some of the finest work of the evening
all things considered. The rcndcilng of the
episode known as the "Sextctt" was most
remarkable , the mcloJy being brought out
with n perfection and clearness thai
achieved the dramatic effect of the voices
as they are accustomed to sing the number
In the opera.
That Mme. Zelslcr Is ono of the greatest
pianists of the ago Is known to everybody
who pretends to keep up with the times In
matters musical. Her playing last evening
was such as the people of tbls city larely
hear. It was so free from the tricks of the
trade and so thoioughly muslclanly that It
may not get the credit that Is Us due.
Tuesday evening Mme. Zclslcr played In
St. Louis , Wednesday evening In Kansas
City. Tomorrow evening she will appear In
DCS Molnes. On the evening of April IS
she will begin a tour of England by a con
cert In London. Her home Is in Chicago and
last evening she was especially outspoken
in praise of her homo city and of the cordial
manner In which she Is treated there. As
an American eho Is bringing honor to the
name of our great country and as an artist
she Is being honored by the whole musical
world ,
Ono of the most enjoyable numbers of the
performance was the aria from "II Guarany , "
l > y Gomez , sung by Mrs. Martin Cabn. The
selection Is In the old aria form and Is an
alternation of recitative and melody. To a
musician It would always bo Interesting ,
) Ut to the average listener only so when It
s well sung. Its success last evening Is a
list tribute to Mrs. Cahn as an artist of
imisunl ability. Her beautiful volco seemed
richer than over and her soft high tones
were exquisite. Mr. Cahn played the dllll-
cult accompaniment In a miiblclanly man-
icr. Much credit Is duo to him for brlng-
ng Mme. Zelsler to this city and for the
Irtlcss way in which ho has worked to
becuro for her an appreciation proportionate
o her merit. The fine audience that was
ircsent to enjoy last evening's musical
real have Mr. Calm to thank for even more
ban appears on the surface.
