Some persons say they are never influenced by an
advertisement.
It is not expected that any one will buy Ivory Soap
solely because it is suggested by an advertisement , but
if you have never used Ivory Soap , you may be induced
to ask some friend about it ; should you find as you
probably will that she is enthusiastic in its praise ,
then you may try it.
Millions of people use Ivory Soap ; they use it because
they like it. You too will like it. There is a difference
in soaps.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 20. Secretary Hoot
hr/ / ( made public a plan for ayatematically
tiki DC care of the supplies contributed for
the relief ot the deatltuto Porto Rlcana. It
provides for a central commlttco of repre-
eenttntlve cltlzcna ot the country to which
nil local committees are to report. Thla
committee la to have charge of distributing
the supplies , which la to too done in a man
ner to secure the beat possible results.
The following waa sent by Secretary Root
to each of the gentlemen named in the com
mittee :
War Department , Washington , D. C. , Aug.
19 , 1809. My Dear Sir : The gcnoroua re-
eponso of tha American people to the call
for reflet for the people of Porto nice , In
volving the collection ot food and supplies
offered of different kinds from different
committees in different parts of the coun
try , makes it necessary to somewhat sys
tematize the work of relief , With thla lu
view I have determined to request the fol
lowing gentlemen * to act aa a ' 'ceatral Porto
Rlcan relief committee , " to which I shall
request air local committees to report and
which may perform the very neccaaary duty
of co-ordinating the procurement and fur
nishing of supplies , concentrating tha money
furnished in ono fund and regulating Us
expendlturo so that the supplies furnished
may conform to the requirements in char-
nctor nnd Quantity and confusion and waste
of effort ba avoided , viz. : Hon. Cornellua
N. Bliss , formerly secretary of the In
terior : Brigadier General Guy V. Henry ,
formerly military governor of Porto Rico ;
Rt , Rov. Jomea H. Blonk , S. M. D. D. ,

the mayor of New York , or auch representa
tive aa he may chooae to designate ; the
mayor of Philadelphia , or auch representa
tive as he may cheese to designate ; the
mayor of Baltimore , or auch representative
os ho may chooae to designate.
The work of distribution in Porto Rico
will continue under the direction of Mili
tary Governor General Davis , who is de
voting himself to the work with admirable
judgment and sympathy. The actual trans
portation of suppllca wlir continue tinder
the direction of the quartermoater'a depart
ment of the nrmy , which will furnish or
procure all the vessels required. Between
these agente of dlatrlbutlon nnd transporta
tion on the ono hand nnd the great number
of local committees , none of which knowa
what the othera ore doing , on tbo other
hand , the now central committee la ex
pected to aland. It la not anticipated that
beyond forming 'the original organization
very great time and labor wlir be required
of the membera of the committee , the wont
being In tha main of a character to De
transacted by a aecrctary and a clerical
force , with the possible assistance of a

I alnccrely hope the committee will DO

CUBA'S ' PRESENT CONDITION
Allnlra All Over the Island Are Very
Fitriiicra Arc
JVothine.
( A letter from 'W. B. Graf ton of Kansas
| City , Kan. , enllated in the army In Cuba , to
his mother , who la now visiting with the
family of John A. Dee of Omaha gives some
Interesting points about conditions there ,
from which the following is taken :
"Tho farmers are practically doing noth
ing toward putting the country on a pro-
duslng basis again. Some ot the Cuban gen
erate who were not given good positions
under the military government are inciting
the bad element of the Cuban army to ban-
dlttams , There are bandlta all over the
Island. They rob the farmers and often
attack and loot the smaller towns. For
this reason the farmers arc not trying to
produce anything. Few reports of these
occurrences reach the American public.
When these bandlta are caught and brought
to trial before the native judges , who were
appointed by the military governora from
among the best clement ot the revolutionary
party , they arc set free In the most bare
faced manner. In tbla district people got
tired of that and have been lynching them.
Twonty-ftvo were hung In the past month
in this district of about 15,000 Inhabitants ,
but not ono officially in the whole province.
Military government la not at all satisfac
tory , nor la the 'say nothing' policy now
being followed by the administration. Mili
tary governora may be all right to preserve
order and clean the towne , but military
men are not 'business men and cannot ad
minister the business affairs of the island
successfully and In auch a manner as will
advance the commercial Interests.
"Tho population of the Island is one-tenth
of what It could sustain without crowding.
There la practically no waste land. Products
which must bo coaxed to give one crop a
year In the United States give three and
four more abundantly from practically wild
land. The climate la splendid magnificent.
There Is no record of such heat here as
haa toeen experienced In New York end
other places In the United States thl asum-
mer. I have not felt the heat as mucli
hero tbla nor last summer as I felt It at
home , and this has been an exceptionally
dry nnd hot year. Frost la unknown.
i"I have great confidence In the future
of the Island. One cannot realize how rich
It la until ono lives here. Tell Mr. Pray
the silver question has been solved for me
by the difference in the value of gold and
sllvor coins here , and the constant trouble
resulting from the double standard. It don't
work. Everything has two prices , and a
sllvor dollar Is worth 60 cents today and
tomorrow 90 cents. If the democrats com
bine free silver and anti-expansion I will
hurrah for McKtnloy , the gold standard and
expansion with all my might. "

Sunday was an Ideal day at the exposition.
The blue Bkywith scarcely a cloud , save a
fleecy ono now and then , the cool breeze
blowing across the Lagoon and above all , the
flowers and foliage lu the full blush ot sum
mer , making patches nf brilliant color mldet
the white nnd shining buildings was a
picture lone to remain In memory and
there was good muslo to add yet more to
the pleasure. The crowd was a large one.
It waa Rtich a crowd as walked leisurely
about the crounds nnd then settled down
at the concerts for hours of enjoyment , nol
a hurrying , pushing and rushing mass of
people , but a sauntering , wllling-to-be-
pleased party.
Besides the very liberal patronage of
Omaha people , the attendance was nug-
mentod by a large excursion of people fiom
Falrbury. Flvo coachloads came In at
11:30 : In the moraine , comprising the ex
cursion of the Order of Hallway Engineers.
Thla dolecntlon was headed by the veil-
known Falrbury band , which gave B mo
stirring selections during the day. The
members of the excursion remained ovur
until evening In order to witness the Illum
ination nnd the serpentine dance on the
Lagoon , one and all seemingly well pleased
with the day spent in the glowing white
city.
In the afternoon at 3:30 : Bellstedt's band
gave a grand sacred concert In the audito
rium , and that structure was filled with an
intensely Interested and enthusiastic audi
ence. In calling the concert grand , no
Intention Is meant of using the word In a
showman sort of a way , for the concert waa
one to move the listeners in no ordinary
manner. At each hearing the band seems
to grow In favor with th& people and each
program shows some new excellences of the
organization , and new powers ot the leader
are demonstrated ,
The opening number was Verdi's
"Aroldo , " and It gave entire satlafnctlon ;
although tt waa not as popular as some ot
the other numbers. In the "Largo" by
Handel , the steady organ-like power of the
band was felt. The selection Is ono which
allowa of the display ot the sustaining qual
ity of the band and la of a dignified and
wholesome nature. Number 3 was a fan-
talale arranged on aomo of the best known
songs of Stephen Foster , one of America's
most famous sons writers. When It Is stat
ed that "Old entucky Home , " "Suwaneo
TUver" and others of that aort were Intro
duced in the medley , It will readily be eetn
that this selection met with favor.
Aa an encore the dainty "Hearts nnd
Flowers , " by Tobanl , waa Klven.
Mr. Bellstedt's popularity as a soloist was
again atteated to In no unmlstukable manner
and when ho stepped forward to Klve hla
number he was Erected with liberal ap
plause. He had selected an old hymn , one
with which are associated countless precious
memories in the minds of the people , and
that alone pleased the listeners. The old
hymn "Nearer Jly God to Thee" with varia
tions , or rather a fantalslo on that air , was
the olccc. On the broad background ot the
band the thin cry of the cornet stood out
like a scarlet thread In black silk. The
selection began with the minor and the
shrill and sharp aounda were gradually
modulated Into the softest tones , aa the
player came to the theme proper , and then
the brass Instrument aeemed to speak the
words of the song In a voice of velvet. The
display of technical power later on whore
the variations are Intricate gave another
evidence of Mr. Bellatedt's mastery over the
cornet.
When the last echo of the piece had died
away there waa a trcmendoua applause and
the audience Insisted that a bow -was not
what was wanted. Mr. Bcllatedt very ac
commodatingly responded by elvlne an old
Welsh melody entitled "All Through the
Night. " The selection la ono of great sim
plicity nnd beauty and promises to be a
favorite.
One of the daintiest and most beautiful
parts of the program was the ever welcome
"Traumerel" by Schuman. The orchestra
tion by Theodore Thomas was used , and
under the skillful baton of Mr. Bellstedt all
the seductive beauties of the peace were
brought out. When It Is said that the band
gave the piece with nearly aa much soft
ness and smoothness aa a string orchestra
eome Idea of how well it was played may
he bad. The imitation of the 'cello , the
sombre sound of the oboes and the promi
nence ot the flutea at times made the num
ber of more than usual pleasure.
Ono of the "big " numbers , and one that was
handled In a masterful style was the "Sec
end Hungarian Rhapsodle" by Llzst. This
Is a tremendous piece , and it gave the band
master an opportunity to allow the full
power of his band an outlet. The strange ,
wild music la remarkably well adapted ( or
band rendition.
A novelty , and one that attracted n great
deal ot attention , waa the solo for drums
given by Mr. Max Nickel ) . Ho placed four
drums on as many chairs and with the band
as accompanist bombarded the cars of the
audience with a rapidity almost to swift aa
to make one continual roar , and the next
Instant would diminish the sound until It
was hardly dlscornablo nnd aounded like the
patter of pins. Mr. NIckellwas forced to
respond to an insistent encore.
The crowning glory of the concert , as it
is to any sacred concert , waa the Hallelujah
chorus from the "Messiah. " Tills Is prob
ably th grandest music ever written , nnd
tbo wonderful power In it seems never to
tire a person , no matter how many times It
la heard. With the mighty sustained aound
of Bollstedt'a band pouring forth tbo great
music It would not bo hard to Imagine that
the hosts of heaven Itself were singing the
anthem. The only thing to mar the number
waa t > > fact that the audience remained
aeated during Its rendition , something that
la never done in Europe , where at the open
ing strains every person in the vast audl
encea arise and stand until the last note
la heard.
At 5 o'clock the Indian band gave a con
cert at the Government building , which waa
listened to by a laree crowd. At 7 o'clock
Bellstedt's band gave another concert which
drew out many fieo-ile.
The day'a program came to a close with
the Illumination and the beautiful effects
of the electric fountain on the Lagoon.

The attendance at the art exhibit Sunday
was out of the ordinary , the people seem
ing to have more time to study the pic
tures , and since the catalogues have beet
Isiued there Is more pleasure In looking ui
them. Gallery No , 1 , in the east wing , haa
over one hundred pictures on Ita walla
gome ot them of more than common merit ,
1'pon entering , the Ilr t picture that ilrlkei
the eye , almost brutally Kith its bold col
orlng , Is Robert Reid's "Hospitality. " The
picture grows upon one however , and later
the crude coloring seems to eoftrn The fig
ures In the picture are somewhat conven
tional ad tallow after the style of the mis-
azlne covers that have been so much In
VORUC ot late years ,
At the right of this , on the west wall , Is
- \ companion piece called "With Castanets. "
It is n canvati filled with color , and the
color Is yellow. A woman In thin white
drapery standing ; in a garden filled with
sunlight is the subject. It is not altogether
pleasing , but will bear study. In direct con-
rast Is the frreh and quiet "In Springtime"
by Wclgand. This picture la full of atmos
phere , depleting spring aa It does , a spring
naming , the dew yet on the grass and the
recs white with the snow ot spring blo
ssoms. A quaint old cottage peeps from
lehlnd the trees , to add to the homely beau-
y of the scene.
C. Haeseii la represented by two pictures ,
ion of tbo Impressionist school. One of
: hcm is of two women at n summer hotel.
They nro sitting on a veranda and the sum
mery effect obtained Is flue. The other la a
picture of an old stngo coach going up a
dusty road. It Is wholly Impressionistic and
only at a distance can its beauties bo neon
at all. Two ecaacnpcs are hung aide by
side. Ono of them shows the sea in its
riuo .aspect , the other when It la emerald In
hue. Both pictures are well worth studying.

There are many other good canvasses In the
room that will bear study.
In the Olymplti.
Since the arrival of Bellstodt'a band with
Ita largo numbers , the "Olympla" haa been
almply a useless ugliness In the middle of
the lagoon , as Ita small hulk will not nearly
accommodate the members of the band.
Under the direction of Director Kelly , the
boat will bo remodeled nnd It will then bo
ot e omo use. Mr. Kelly bos decided to
iako down the turrets nnd masts and in
ll'elr plnco build a regular quarter deck
that will give more room on the boat. The
band will then bo placed on the Lagoon
during the Venetian carnivals. It la the
Intention to complete the changes by Friday

WnntN IIIIIUH to Come
OMAHA , Aug. 20. To the Editor of The
Bee : I am not the "gentleman or lady ,
presumably the latter , " who suggested to
Mr. Kelly the propriety of securing Innoe'
band ; but am entirely willing to rate ne a
"genial crank" if I can lend my influence
to a good cause. ( By the way , we were
surprised to see Mr. K. grow sarcastic. No
one wanta to rob htm of the honor of having
brought Innea to Omaha. Wo are glad to
know that bo did It. We always believed
that Kelly waa all right , now we know It. )
"One of the Many" certainly Is entitled
to hla or her pen name. Among my ac
quaintances and the peopTe whom I meet
and the strangers whose conversation I
overbear on the exposition grounds nnd
elsewhere the universal verdict eeeraa to
bo "there's no ono else ; there can be no
other like Innea. "
Must the decision of the exposition man
agement that "his terms are prohibitory"
remain a permanent fact ? We , tbo people
ple , constitute the "great court of final1
appeal , " Would not the music lovers of
Omaha and vicinity , especially the lovers
of Innea' band nnd the gracious person
ality of Its leader glndfy contribute to n
fund to be added to what tbo management
feels justified In paying ? Money raised In
this way would go as far , peruaps be more
acceptable , than If It came entirely from
the expedition treasury. Surely the enthu
siasm which prompted the tremendous .ova
tion tendered the band at the close of their
farewell concert hero , and to which Mr.
Innea responded so feelingly , has not died

In Franco nnd It has been translated ,
adapted , mutilated and acted In nearly every
country under the sun. Whatever the
superficial modifications may tic , Its prin
cipal charm lies In an Impetuous , Illogical ,
romantic action , which has always remained
essentially unaltered and unalterable.
The Woodward company have had only a
short time to rehearse nnd produce It , the
decision to do so having ; only been made by
Mr. Woodward within the last two weeks ,
and the performance given Sunday afternoon
was under the circumstances a most credit
able one. Of course , there were Incongruities
and many rough places , but under the cap
able stage direction of Mr. Enos , by the mid
dle of the week the Woodward company will
give as good a production of the piece as
ono would care to sec. The costumes nro
'beautiful ' nnd well In keeping with the era
of thoiplcco. Willis Granger , as D'Artagnan ,
gave un entertaining Interpretation of that
celebrated character of Impetuosity and dur
ing. Ho thoroughly looked the part ot the
Gascon" swashbuckler nnd he ncted Intel
ligently and with satisfactory effect. Ho
seemed fully at hla ease , hla gestures wore
graceful and his duelling and quarreling epl-
eodca were carried with convincing fire nnd
the love-making and lighter portions of his
work wcro deftly handled.
Miss Kennark as Lady Do Winter gave nn
especially strong and convincing Interpret
ation ot this rather thankless role. Her
costumes arc beautiful , being the most
striking1 that she has worn during the
Woodward company's engagement here. A
captivating performance was the Constance
of iMiss Emma Dunn , whose scenes with
D'Artagnan were nmong the prettiest bl's
ot Ingenue work Imaginable. Mr. Enos' In
terpretation of the Cardinal was a careful
nnd conscientious one and thoroughly sat
isfactory. Wm. Ullcy Hatch , who has been
loaned to Mr. Woodward by the Trocadero
Opera company for the week , was a de
cidedly clover uVthos and looked the part of
ono of the three swashbuckling musketeers
to perfection. He has a splendid physique ,
handsome face and fruitless enunciation ,
all of which make him particularly pleasing.
Miss Berkeley rondo a regal and admirable
dramatic queen , Mr. Beresford a very good
king , while the balance of the roles were
cast with care nnd consideration. "The
Musketeers" runs the entire week and Fri
day of net week the Woodward company
close their engagement here with a produc
tion of "Moths. "
The Trocadero Opera company opened the
third week Sunday night with a perform
ance of Andrau's three-act comic opera ,
"Tho Mnscotto. " To have heard the audience
which fitted every available seat In the
theater laugh and applaud one not familiar
with matters theatrical could hardly be
made to believe that this ridiculously funny
opera bad done service for nearly a score of
years , and yet retain Its popularity as | t
does. However , with nn Infusion of some
now and"uptodate jokes and the substi
tution of some of the popular airs of the day
for others of the original score , It la made
as thoroughly as enjoyable , It not raoro BO ,
than ever. TUo performance of It as given
last evening by this new organization , which
has already established itself as a prime
favorite , was In every way adequate. The
scenery was In keeping with the opera , while
the costumes were quite gorgeous and beau
tiful. The chorus , which is ono ot the
strongest for Its size that baa yet been Been
In this city , made the ensemble work of the
piece particularly pleasing nnd praiseworthy ,
which reflects much credit upon the capable
musical direction of Mr. Zlnn.
MIn3 Mortimer sang the title role In her
usual free and caay manner and her splendid
soprano voice waa heard to advantage ,
especially in , the rendition of lArdltl'a
famous eong "The Dalslc , " The comedy
portion of the play , which Is , of course , the
greater part of It , waa capably handled by
Maurice iHageman and William Hicks. Mr.
Hageman as Lorenzo Prince of Plmblno had
the best opportunity to display his talent
aa a comedian that has been given him so
far during the company's engagement here
and every advantage was taken of it. Hla
rendition of "Tho Wise Men of All Ages"
and the parody on "Zlzzy Ze Zura Zum"
each won for him several encores. ilr.
Hicks was a clever foil for his comedy , and
together they kept the audience In almost
a continuous uproar during the entire time
they were upon the stage. As Plppa the
Shepard , Harry Davles , the leading tenor
of the company , made a decided hit. Ills
solo , "The Sweetest Story Kver Told , " was
beautifully rendered nnd received recogni
tion at the hands of the audience by un
stinted applause. The Gobble duet rendered
by Mr. Davles nnd Miss Mortimer was very
well done. Miss Alice James made a beau-
