The Hon has received the following ad
vniire announcement
James J Jeffrie-, In "Th Man Tom th
V s will pf r.soiiiiti' mi- nt the belt. !.
Im.itcd. spurred mid nomiirr-rix'd kilulit
Nf rhlvnlrv Who abound In the fur w-l-ern
'..utitrv and arc typical of rnm?el,
stalwart Americanism.
In th llno of the tout and gamin,
Wouldn't that Jar you?" The Idea of a
rUK like James J. Jeffries Impersonating
inyonn with oven a touch of tho chlvalrlr
n his nature Is enough to make one laugh.
What. In the name of all that Ih sacred
in the traditions of the Btage, does this
beefy bluffer know about chivalry? It Ih
'I 'Ubtful If he ever heard tho word and
Hill more no If he known Its meaning. The
atmosphere of tho prize ring Is hardly
conducive to ehlvalrlc sentiments, anil tho
clangor of the hammers of the boiler
shops, whlls possibly bearing some slight
resemblance to the ring of spear as It
clashes against shield, has never hereto
fore been thought to be suggestive of these
scenes which were part and parcel of tho
life of years ugonc.
As a mntter of fact, Jeffries can no moro
depict a chivalrous nature than a stream
can rise higher than Its source. Hven If
h wcro capablo mentally of doing so, the
thought of who and what he Is would In
trude Itself and ruin the Illusion. Tho
picture of tho world's champion bruiser
posing as a chlvilrle soul Is only exceeded
In Krotesqueness by that of an elephant
trying to eal Ice cream with a fork.
Isn't It about time tho managers cut
these people off their litis? The experi
ment has been tried In the past, and, from
nn artistic standpoint, has proved an en
tire failure. Corbet t was easily the best
of uny who essayed to add thesplc to
gladiatorial honors, but even he made a
wretched failure. Then came Lanky Hob
ritzslmmons with his lack lustre face and
baboon physique ami thai he was not hissed
from tho stage Is a testimonial to the good
nature and patient forbearance of the
American public. Now comes Jeffries. He
will make money, for he will attract n
crowd who love belter to look upon brawn
than brain. He will tako their coin and
give them nothing In return except the
privilege of looking upon the form of a
man who up to the present has met and
defeated all comers. We will be permitted
to gaze long and lovingly upon Ills huge
flsl. his bull neck, his "strong nnd sinewy
arms," but thero will be no use to search
for anything further, for It will not be
there. The people of the country have It
In their power (o make his career as an
actor short nnd Inglorious. It Is to be
hoped they will not fall to do so.
Manager Burgess of Iloyd's has evidently
been having an enjoyable time In the
Kuropean capitals, If tho following letter
recently received by n personal friend of
his Is nny criterion. It is as follows:
t IRANI) 1IOTH1, DH ItO.MK, ROM K.
July 13. All roads lead to Rome. Well,
here we are. We arrived two days ng.i
and we have found Rome a great and won
derful city, and more than that I onlv
wish I could describe It, but will not at
tempt to do so.
We unit to St. l'eter's today nnd it 's
wonderful. Hut tho Coliseum Is still more
wonderful I tell you the old boys that
lived In i nose days were dandles.
We were disappointed with the Paris ex
position; In fact, I do not think It compares
with the World's fair at Chicago. The
l'nlted Slates has some very line displays
there, but I am ashamed of our government
building As the I'arls papers say. It looks
like a country poitolllee. The government
biillMng we hnd at our Trunsmlatdsslppi
Exposition was much better. Tails Is alt
right without an exposition. It Is the
largest ellv In the world and they live at
night. I think Colonel Sharp would like
I'-rK ... v.
Ilerllu reminds me somewhat of New
York, lookn more like an American city
than any we visited. From Berlin we went
to Dresden and there found the most beau
tiful shops nnd gardens. Krom Cologne we
went up the Rhine to Coblenz, a Herman
city of about M.rmo, and there Is the plme
we' had a time trying to be understood: not
a soul In town could understand Kngllsh
We wanted to send a telegram from there
to Krnnkfort to engage a sleeper to Iterlln.
That In the worst experience we had try
ing to make ourselves understood. Krom
Dresden we went to Vienna, where we
visited tho galleries and palaces and the
umperor's stnblea and saw his i
horses; It seemed an if thero were 4.000;
n er "00 carriages
Krom Vienna wo went to Venice, a won
derful city which I could not attempt to
describe; It Is built In the water and Is ap
proached bv a bridge three miles In length,
bulll right out Into the sea. Landing at the
depot vim take a gondola to your hotel and
If vou want to cross the street lo gel a
drink you have to cross In a gondola. The
cathedral at this place, St. Mark's, Is a
fine structure. We were fortunate In being
there on their aiinunt holiday, July 15, the
time of their Venetian iiirnlwil and I tell
j ml they made a night of It Thousands of
gondolas beautifully decorated with lan
terns of all colors: they took their meals In
the gondolas and sang and played all night
long. We Nat up most of the night at our
lintel, which Is on the Orand Canal.
Krom Venice we went lo Florence, where
no saw the tomb of Michael Augelo and
several oilier old ones. Krom Florence we

Next we go lo IMsa, Milan. Lucerne and
lnterlaken. May go down to Monte Carlo.
Thence to I'arls and London and on August
11th sail for America. And after I have seen

for I have seen cathedrals, galleries,

Richard Manslleld Is holding dally re
hearsals of his company In preparation for
bis revival of Shakespeare's "King Henry
V," and his days are crowded with work,
harder and moro engrossing work than tho
civilian imagines. Rehearsals begin at 11
o'clock, llefore that hour there aro details
of business and correspondence to look over.
Frequently UIh luncheon hour is curtailed
to drive luistlly over to a scenic artist's
nnd pass on some newly finished stage
picture, or perhaps to hurry to a costuuier
to suggest and advise about the dress of
soldiers nnd nobles, urchblsttops and
courtiers, all of which has to be studiously
correct In design and heraldry.
This revival promises to he the moid
elaborate dramatic spectacle the stage has
yet hecn. The play Is rich in Shakespeare's
nioet masterly touches, but It Is seldom seen
on the stage, simply because of tho outlay
of money which It requires. Mr. Manslleld
Is preparing eighteen different stage pictures,
nil of them of extensive elaborateness, and
II from historical models. The processions,
battles and court scenes present quickly suc
cessive panoramas which will require up
wards of i!50 people. The armor for King
Henry V Is being mnde by a celebrated
Kngllsh armorer nnd will he shipped to this
country tho last of this month. The forty
or moro who have to wear this heavy and
Inconvenient hublllnicnt will have to ro
hearso long nnd laboriously to attain case
under Its unyielding weight. A celebrated
rnmpoter Is preparing music for the produc
tion. In the historical episode of King
Henry's return lo London after the battle
of Aglncnuri a ballet will nppear, and for
tho betrothal scene of Henry beforo the
nsscmblcd royalty, nobility and soldiery of
Knglaud and France In the cathedral of
Troyes a choir will bo heard.
For the part of Princess Katherlne, Mr.
Mansfield has engnged Mile, nrassy, a French
nctress of considerable note, who arrived last
Sunday. One of the most delicious comedy
features of the celebrated play Is the dif
ficulty which the French characters en
couiurr with the Ungllsh, for Shakespeare
consistently makes them all speak French
or Kngllsh wlih a French accent For the
several French characters of this descrip
tion Mr. Mutibliiid has cnguged French
artists of whom Mile llrassy Is the most
prominent
London Is prefently to see another piny
by an Amerbau author Miss Julia Nellsoti
will on August 30 at the Haymarket theater,
for the first time on a London stage, present
Paul Kester's comedy. "Nell Owynne." Mr.
Kester Is an American nnd, though u young
man, he has already achieved distinction of
tho first class as a dramatist. Modjcska,
Alexander Salvlnl, Rhea, Walker White
sides and Janauschek have acted his plays
with success. Mr. Kester will this winter
have two plays presented In New York CHy
111 addition to his London nrmllmllnn tn
other fields of literature this American
writer has made equally successful ex
cursions, and his "Tales of the Heal Oypsy,"
which embody most charmingly the result
of a life-long acquaintance and confidence
with these strange people, has been widely
read ami admired. Mr. Kester's verse has
hecn conspicuous In the Uooktnnn and other
literary mugnzlnes.
1'rovldlng the dramatist has not deviated
from tho story Miss Viola Allen In her new
play. "In the Palace of the King." a
dramatization of F. Marlon Crawford's
novel by Lorlmer Stoddard, will be In much
the same position as she was with "The
Christian." In the latter play the Interest
naturally centered In John Storm nnd It
was only through the fine performance of
Miss Allen that (llory Quayle became tho
"star part." With a strong actor Imper
sonating John and a weak actress as fllory
It Is easy to understand how the male,
performer would walk nwny with the ap
plause and attain the larger share of sym
pathy of the nudtence. That the actress
did not Insist that the part of John Storm
be cut down and weakened Is suluclontly
concluslvo proof that Miss Allen would not
reduce tho foreef ulness of tho play for her
own aggrandizement, and that she had an
abiding faith In the strength of her own
powers. .It cannot, of course, be stated at
this time how closely Mr. Stoddard has
follow eil Mr. Crawford's novel. If. how
ever, he has not widely departed from It
there will be two leading pnrts of almost
equal strength, that of Don John of Aus
tria and Dona Dolores do Metidozn. The
dramntlst would not have much trouble In
making either paramount, but It Is more
than likely that Miss Allen has Insisted
that a nice balance be maintained In tho
possibilities of the two roles.

3 MUSIC. 't
Several persons of good Judgment In mat
ters musical have gently remonstrated
with me In regard to tho opinions ex
pressed In this column on the popular
songs of the day and more especially the
'('ton" song. In delereiice to their Ideals
and opinions which I know are sincerely
honest it may be well to make a few
explanatory remarks.
The objection Is not to ragtime pure
and simple, for. as all musicians know, It
is founded on a purely scientific musical
basts, being as It Is an Interesting study
In the process of "Syncopation," which
Dr. Rlcmann defines as "a term In music
applied to the connecting of nn unaccented
with an accented beat, by which the plain
course of the meter is contradicted. Har
monically, syncopation Is either a pro
longation of the note of a chord Into the
next chord or an anticipation."
Hut tho trouble only begins with rag
time. It doeB not end there. One should
feel It a duty to cry out and shout against
nny muBle. no matter how Inherently good
fas far an individual chord construction Is
concerned). If It were badly carried out lu
detail and were associated with an In
ferior sentiment. The singing of snered
words to the air of the "Hot Time" does
not make the said caloric tune "good"
music, any more than the fact that the
dainty "Narclssds" becomes cheap or
trashy dance music, because It Is used as
n two-step by musicians who should know
better.
Let mo be distinctly understood. I do
not Intend to find fault with popular music
In the strict sense of tho term. My pur
pose is not fanatical. Would the musi
cian like to see banished from the world's
music such songs as "Hen Holt," "Tenting
nn the Old Camp Oround," "The Vacant
Chair," etc.? No, no. Hut these aro popu
lar songs In the sense of meaning "songs
of tho people."
Let us use Home other word to describe
tho rottenness which reeks from the vaude
ville singe In the namo of popular songs,
bout sticky lips, greasy hands, over
dressed anil badly preiented types of ne
groes at sight of which any decent colored
gentleman would be disgusted, crap games,
"ynller" features nnd other equally delec
tnble stuff, which the seat holders In the
parquets, dress circles and boxes ap
plaud nnd consider, or appear to consider,
good music.
Or else let us drop the word popular
song nnd tako tho word "Folksongs" for
those songs of the heart, which will llvo
and bo cherished, because they aro living
heart-throbs nnd while they may not bo
classic they are good. Muslclnns must not
expect everything to be classical. "Is not
the life more than meat and tho body
than raiment?" Tho truth of tho affir
mative Is admitted. The classic dress of
the thought does not atone for tho thought
Itself, It being absent.
Let the Folksong he spoken of with af
fection, for It Is all that binds somo people
to music.
The true spirit of the negro race Is not
exemplllled by the crap-shootlng, unintel
ligent and coarsely-grained tough, or by
the powdered, painted, red stockinged
thing called "Ma Ilaby" any more than Is
tho "folk" type of an Englishman a thin
spindle-shanked nonentity, with a 'orrlblo
h'necent nnd a circular pleeo of window
pane In his lack-luster eye. Tho spon
taneous outburst of the llfo of our darker
skinned brothers nnd sisters Is not ex
pressed by the average song of today.
For the natural tendency of tho rare look
up such simple, sentiments nnd fascinating
themes as those In "I'se n Llttlo Alabama
Coon," or "Say, Have You Kver, Ever Seen
My Angellne?" r "You'se Just a Llttlo
Nigger, Hut You'se Mine. All Mine." 1
obsnrve from n forecast of Mr. Hellstedt's
programs that he Is about to regale us with
conslderahlo quantity of tho typical pop
ular song (as opposed to thn Folksong). 1
think he makes a mistake. I bellevo In
education, I believe In meeting tho people
on their own ground; that Is to say, giv
ing them something they can understand.
Hut one can nevor cure depravity by be
coming depraved, neither can nne lift an
audience from the depths of musical Ig
norance and stupidity by playing for them
stupid nnd senBeleas music. If Mr. Fcll
Htcdt will adhere to tho Folksong his mis
sionary work will have a good result. Look
at this criminal record-
"I halnt seen uo messenger boy."
"The Mick that threw the brick."
"I'll be an old man's darling."
"I guess I'll have to telegraph ma haby."
"I'm certainly living a ragtime life."
"Jest beeauso she made dem goo-goo
eyes "
"Well. I guess I'm bad."
"1 couldn't stand to see my baby lose."
"When you halnt got no money, well you
needn't come around."
These songs are not needed on any
musical program. They havo no placo
there and thero Ih no excuse for tholr
presence. Let them be abolished.
An Interesting hour was enjoyed Inst
Monday afternoon nt tho First Congregn
tlonal church, when two organists plnyed
to a small hut thoroughly Interested as
semblage. In addition to church members
present, music committee, etc., thero could
havo been seen tho organists of the follow
ing churches: Trinity Cathedral, All
Saints', First Congregational, St. Paul's
Episcopal of Council Bluffs and tho First
Methodist of Omaha.
The playing was diversified In character
nnd some astounding effects wero pro
duced. Novel arrangements of various
well known compositions were hilariously
played by the first organist and the Becond
organist played some numbers well and
one notably with indifference to tempo,
sentiment and color.
Mr. Walter E. Young has been n'rfpolnted
organist of the First Congregational
church, to succeed Mrs. Frances Ford, the
retiring organist, who has struggled effec
tually to maintain In that church a muslcnl
service, when tho oncouragement wns not
very enthuslustle. Mrs. Ford has tilled n
place In the musical world which will not
easily bo occupied by any one else.
Miss Ella Ethel Free, tho brilliant young
pianist whose success since her arrival In
Omaha has been little short of phenomenal,
will bo absent from her studio for a few
weeks. Sho has decided to take a needed
rest and will visit the home of ox-Governor
Irrabee. holug ono member of a very de
lightful houso party. Miss Free will re
turn about the first week In September.
The popular and artistic organization
tho only local one of Its kind called the
Mendelssohn Male quartet, having been
ongnged to sing at a Grand Army of the
Republic reunion In Iowa, returned last
week with enthusiastic notices and strong
endorsements. The quartet consists of
Messrs. Dan Wheeler. Jr., Hazeltou, Hav
erslock and Thlckstun.
To Mr Charles M. Bliss belongs the
credit of having prosented "The Creation"
nt Fremont In a very praiseworthy manner
last week The program has been received
at this oftlca and It U ft highly artistic
plcre of workmanship. Mr. tlltss assumed
a big undertaking when he attempted such
a production with the Oratorio society of
the Fremont Normal school. It speaks well
for the students, for the school, for the
conductor Hnd for the people of Fremont.
Long may the good and wise St. Keb IUgus
give his blessing to the musical peoplo ol
Fremont nnd also some of that financial
sugnr which sweetens the work of produc
ing "Creations" and makes art possible.
Mr. Thomas II. I'crfleld. one of the best
known plnno men In the west, surprised his
musical friends lu the city by assuming the
management of .the Collins Piano company
of Omaha during the past wick. Mr. Per
Held was previously Identified with the Hard
man piano.
A gentleman from out of town nslted
a lending cmtrnlto of Omnhn last week If
she had ever heard tho new populnr song
entitled "The Holy City." The contralto
wisely advised the gentleman to go to
church occasionally and he might hear
many such popular songs. It does seem
strnnge that so many of the sterner sex
have not yet abolished the lden that the
standard of music In the churches has
never risen beyond "Beulahland" or "Oh
Happy Day." Perhaps It will do no harm
tn state that tho church today Is tho prin
cipal support of music lu almost every
city of the l'nlted States and that If people
would attend once In a while they might
hear something new In the way of music.
All the good music Is not sung at Easter
and Christmas. THOMAS J. KELLY.
MRS. EDDY SAYS SHE IS WELL
Christian Science Founder coiti
lilrn Tli nt She Is Under t'src of
Itrmilar I'lij slelnn,
In denial of the story that she was 111
und under a physician's care Mary Haker
Eddy has given this statement to the lb s
tonI'ost, which The Iiee prints nt the re
quest of local Scientists'
"I am well despite the many attempts of
those opposed to the principles of Chris
tian Science to prove otherwise. For
thirty-four years I havo Inbored In this
grent field nnd never have I been so keenly
allvo to the glorious privilege of living
and working.
"You have asked me If It were true that
I am a sufterer with cancer. You have
asked me if It Is true that n doctor of
medicine Is In attendance upon me.
"To both these questions 1 answer no
with all the truth In mr being. I am free
from disease and there Is but one physician
gunrdlng my welfare. He Is the Great
PhyBlclan."
Taking n seat on the sofa and motion
ing the reporter to a chair near at hand
she said: "Now I am ready to give you
any Information that you think will be of
Interest to the public.
"It Is with sadness that I have noted n
certain Inclination to ascribe to me a con
dition that does not exist. Were It not I
believe that reports wholly false have been
scnttered nbroad concerning my physical
condition, nnd that these falsehoods com
ing to the ears of my .any friends would
cause them pain, 1 would not feel that It
wero necessary to publicly utter any
denial. Is It not strange that some natures
are so constituted that they can return
evil for good? It has always been my
practice to return good for evil, and that
Is a good practice, do you not think bo?"
she said with a smile thnt lighted her fea
tures. "You came here to ask me If I were sick.
I answer no, for whan God heals tho sick
or sinful they know the great benefit mind
has wrought. They also know tho great de
lusion of mind when it makes them sick or
sinful. Many aro willing to open tho eyefl
of the people to the power, of good rest-
dent In divine mind, but they arc not as
willing to point out the evil In human
thought and expose Its hidden mental ways
of accomplishing Iniquity.
"There was once a time In my life when
bodily ailments laid me low, but I have
learned that mind reconstructs the body
us nothing else can do."
"Is It true that a doctor of medicine
calls upon you regularly, nnd that you are
under his care profssslonally?"
"To that question let nio rnply as I did
to the previous one; and In addition I will
summon my household, nnd they will tell
yau In language that there is no mistaking
that those responsible for such statements
aro untruthful and unjust."
Mrs. Eddy roso, and with a quick move
ment touched an electric button at tho
drwlngroora door. Her whole bearing
was ono of suppressed earnestness, leaving
no doubt that her whole heart was Intent
upon proving beyond a question tho ac
curacy of her statements.
A few minutes Inter tho entire household
assembled in the hallway, and In answer tn
questions nil wero positive that no doctor
of medicine ever attended upon Mrs. Eddy.
"If thero is nothing further that you
would like to sny I will ask to bo excused,"

SOURCE OF THE MILK SUPPLY!
Old-Stylo Methods of Handling Milk Rapidly
Becoming Obsolete.
CREAMERIES DO BULK OF BUSINESS
.Slerlllrutloil mid Refrigeration Pro
censes Reduce tlir Business
to n .More Hj sleniiitle
lliisls.
In round numbers It requires 7.'0 per day
to supply the people of Omaha with milk.
Five counties tn two states contribute to
the volume of lacteal fluid which Is meas
ured out each morning to the housewives
and hundreds of people find employment In
the business.
The milk trade of Omaha has been partly
revolutionized In the last few years nnd
Is rapidly passing from the hands of the
milkman, who, driving his own cart, has
In the past sold milk by the Indlefut. HU
new competitor Is the "crrameiy" company,
which, with larger capital and equipped
with modern mechanical appliances, buys
milk from the farms within a radius of
thirty miles of the city. and. nfter steriliz
ing It, delivers it each morning at the home
of tho consumer. In Omaha these com
panies already control about 50 per cent
of the trade.
A visit to the headquarters of one of the
Inrgest milk companies of Omaha shows
that frigidity Ib the main reliance for the
preservation of milk. This house lian
brauches In Douglas, Washington and Sarpy
counties, where milk Is purchased from the
surrounding farms fof' consumption In this
city. Though the milk Is sold by the pint,
quart or gallou, an entirely different sys
tem Is followed In Its purchase. This
difference Is necessary because half of the
milk bought by the company Is made Into
butter before being sold and therefore the
milk Is paid for upon the basis of the
amount of butter fat It contains. At every
branch or station test tubes are provided
Into these samples of the milk from each
farm are poured. As the butter fat shows In
the test tube so the milk Is graded At
present the prevailing price of milk In
the country Is 1R cents a pound for butter
fat.
Process of MleiillHtliiti.
The milk Is delivered at the stations
from 5 to S o'clock on the morning It Is
drawn from the cow. The stations of the
companies are what aro known as gravity
stations that is, the milk Is not pumped
or churned In any wny before delivery
The milk Is brought to the stations In
cans, from which It Is poured Into a re
ceiving vat. This vut Is divided lu the
center, nil of the morning milk being
poured Into one compartment und the even
ing milk Into the other. Each morning
requisitions are sent out from Omaha to
each station and the quantity of milk re
quired Is set aside. From the receiving
vat It runs Into the sterilizer. This Is a
revolving cylinder, In the center of which
Is a cylinder filled with hot water. As the
milk passes between the outer Jacket and
the hot water or steam cylinder It Is heated
to not less than 140 degrees nor moro than
1C0. From the sterilizer It passes Into
ten-gallon cans, In which It Is shipped to
the city by express. The first consign
ment of milk arrives at S o'clock and the
lost at 11.
Tho three milk companies In Omaha ship
dally Into tho city on an average l.iiOO
gallons each morning, besides 100 gallons
or moro of cream. The milk wagons bring
the supply up to 3,000 gallons, while It 1b
estimated that the sules of private families
will bo 7S0 gallons more
The distribution of the milk to the con
sumers is one of the Inrgest expenses of the
business. The. "milkman" who milks a few
cows on the outskirts of town and buys ad
ditional stock from his neighbors still de
livers bis merchandise In wagons from house
to house, as has been the custom of his
prototypes for generations. The large milk
companies also make use of wagons, but
the city 1b districted and thn wagon carries
numerous bottles resting In frames similar
to those In which beer or soda bottles are
carried.
While much milk Is delivered by wagon a
large amount Is dispensed at the milk depots
which find lodgement lu confectionery stores,
bakeries and groceries throughout the city.
At these places the milk Is delivered In
cans, sold outright tn the merchant, who to
talis it nt a slight advance over first cost.
.Skimmed .Mllll nml HiltlernillU Sales.
In addition to the sale of freph milk Omaha
affords a market for much skimmed milk
nnd In the summer time tho amount of
buttermilk sold Is not Inconsiderable. Tho
packing houses aro the best customers for
skimmed milk. When oleo Is manufactured
hundreds of gallons aro used every day, and
In the treatment of other meat products
milk Is required. Tho process butler houses
use much milk In scouring tho conglomerate
mass which Is the basis of their product.
This skimmed milk Is tho excess of the
purchase of tho company over Rb sales. At
each station there Is located a separator, nn
Invention which separates tho cream from
tho milk bb soon as It Is extracted from
the cow. The separator Is a rapidly revolv
ing cylinder which throws tho cream to tho
outside and lets tho skimmed milk run
through a pipe In Rb center. By this proreas
overy particle of butter fat Is extracted
and all the different parts of the milk Block
utilized.
