Among the foreign custom taking firm root In America li that of muilc In cafes, restaurants and hotels. The more cosino polltan the city's population, the more gen erl the custom. In the more conservative cities Uke Philadelphia, Boston and Baltl more, there is no medium between the much abused piano of the saloon or beer garden and the allver-totled orchestra of swell dom's most exclusive hotels; but In such cities as New York, Chicago and Ben Fran cisco, where a money-spending foreign ele ment Is to be found, you get all gradations of sound, from the violin and piano duet. through the Italian string band to the au perb orchestra of a score of players to be found In New York's most palatial hotel. Each hotel is a law unto itself In the matter of hours for music, but the usual custom is a program lasting from I to 9 p. m., which catches the diners, and one from 10 p. m. to 1 a. m., which pleases the aupper parties after the play. And it is the province of the orchestra leader to study the taste and whims of the establishment's patrons. Your mere musician, the man who loves music for its own sweet sake and who burns Incense to the masters, is not the person who will ably conduct the orchestra In a fashionable cafe. It is the man who can sacrifice his own taste to that of the pleasure-seeking public, whose music, by its brightness and timeliness, will draw custo mers to the cafe. How New Scores Are Seewred. His first duty, therefore, is to keep abreast of the times in all things musical and theatrical. For Instance, Just before Mascagnl opened his New York engagement very orchestra gallery rang with the trains of the Intermesio from "Cavallcrla Rustlcana." During the stay of Prince Henry requests for "The Watch on the Rhine" were numerous. All this, however, is very simple when compared with securing the very newest popular music On the face it would ap pear that every publisher would be glad to have his muslo popularized, and so they are when the time comes, which is after the song has been duly copyrighted and gotten out in publication form.' But your patron of the cafe is not always willing to wait so long. On Monday night . a song makes a hit in a new production. By Tues day night the town Is whistling it after a fashion, and every patron of the cafe who has heard it wants it played by the or chestra. .Now, many songs, especially, if written for comedians, are used first In manuscript form and copies cannot be secured. The tamo may be- said-of- musical comedies, cores of which are not obtainable, for a week or so after tho initial production. , This is where the orchestra leader finds himself at ' his wits' end. If he has a friend In the theatre orchestra, he has al ready arranged the matter. His ' friend decides which airs will probably tickle tho public's musical palate, writes' out r the theme of each, and from this the musical leader in the cafe makes his own orchest ration and is ready directly he learns the piecS has made a hltj .'-- It he does not Kaod in with someone In the orchestra. be" attends the first matinee performance, eo'd?fVhe fears that a vigilant usher may spy 'hi1 bit of muslo paper, ho Jots the notes of the 'best choruses on his cuff and works them 'out later at home. This is easily done because popular numbers are repeatedly encored. Last winter -when av certain English musical success 1 made Its initial hit the leader of a fashionable orchestra slipped Into the first matinee, violin in arm, and took a seat in tho front row. When the curtain fell and the orchestra of the house dispersed the leader of the hotel musicians lipped cautiously into the Bret violinist's thalr and began to copy oft the muslo which Is left on the racks between matinee and night performances. A house employe see ing him thus engaged, with hi violin across his knee, took him for a regular member of the house orchestra industriously working Overtime, and the leader soon slipped out Of the theater without being asked a single question .That night hlsj little band of musicians were . ready ' with the latest musical erase, and not another cafe orches tra in town had it. Bo general la the custom of granting re- querte for certain numbers that the making up of an advance program la a mere form. The only time that the leader may Indulge his own taste Is during the lull between dinner and supper partita. These requests' arO 'sent up by the wait era, -sometimes orally and - sometimes in writing. In tae latter case, a "tip" is not Infrequently enclosed, and some astonishing gifts reach the musician's balcony in this fashion." , i. A young man who had been entertaining OMAHA, Nov. 2. To the Cltlsens of Omaha: The city of Omaha has reached a point In Its growth when In addition to the two factors, vis: good agricultural sur roundings and railway commercial facili ties, it needs manufacturing development before It can expect to make safe and sub stantial progress. Fortunately it has fa cilities for securing the essential to the third .factor cheap power. Within a radius of fifty miles there Is going to wsste in flowing streams, energy enough to furnish over 100,000-horse power. If properly util ised. This can be done at several points, but existing conditions will warrant only the development of a 20,000 to 30 ,000 -hone power plant at a time. The first plant once developed will advertise the good re sults and educate the public to the utilisa tion of more, and It will be but a matter of a few years when every available drop of water, will be utilized. When that Is done Omaha wilt have a population of 600,000 and rank among the substantial and prosperous cities of the west. In the development of this water power owing to a period varying from twenty to thirty days In August and Sep tember, when the rivers are running very low,. It becomes necessary to provide large storage reservoirs which will collect and tore the excess of flow to an extent that will supply the shortage In the dry weather period. This fortunately can be done for at least two of the several available power plans. The least expensive and latest, de signed by the undersigned, admits of a storage reservoir with an area ranging from seven to fifteen square miles, as may be desired. A draft of the upper six feet from the smaller area named would, of it self, supply twelve hundred million cubic feet, or nine thousand million gallons. The cost of acquiring such an area of land, con structing proper embankments and head- works and erecting a power plant with electrical machinery for 20,000-horse power, will range between $2,000,000 and $2,000,000. To secure capital for so large an invest ment It In not only necessary to acquire state rights for water privileges and the necessary grounds, but the Investors must be assured that they can reach the mar ket with their power after it is developed. An ordinance providing for a franchise granting the right to bring this power Into Omaha under certain conditions has been submitted to the city council and they are asked to adopt it and submit It to the voters for ratification. The advantage to the city from cheap power need not be ad verted to further than by recalling , the fact that the people only a few years ago were ready to vote a subsidy of $1,000,000 to the promoters of such an enterprise. In the place of asking a bonus this ordinance provides that the city shall receive an annuity beginning with $5,000 and conclud ing with $15,000 yearly thereafter. The city Is given the right to secure light for Its streets for $65 per aro lamp, a re duction of II per cent from present rates. The consumers are guaranteed for llghllng a maximum of SH cents per Kilowatt hour. The present maximum rate of the New Omaha Thomson-Houston Electrlo Light company Is 15 cents, or over 300 per cent more than the proposed rate. The ordi nance does not ask for any exclusive privi leges and none could be given If asked for. After Its Introduction the fiat of the Electric company was announced, that the ordinance should be killed either directly or strangled by tactics known to corpora tion methods. Ttfc satellites of the com pany having exhausted their power, the mask has at last been thrown down and the president of the New Omaha Thomson Houston company has come out boldly and announced his opposition, not on business grounds, but on alleged unfairness whereby competition would be throttled. For bine years this company haa engineered Its con tracts through the city administrations to the utter exclusion of all bidders. The company has managed, through Its agencies In the city council, to deny all other par ties the right to bid or compete by exclud ing them from rights within the city. Now this public-spirited company, operating under an Illegal franchise, which is com pleting Its conduit without legal authority under an ordinance drawn up by ita attor neys expressly to exclude all competition In the future, Is parading under the mask of philanthropist, and asks that the ordi nance providing a franchise for the first real competition be not placed before the people for their vote. Never having had the confidence of the public and tearing to submit Its grants to a vote ot the people as required by law, this company says no proposition having validity shall be sub mitted to the people for the exercise ot their Judgment. I ask, are the people slaves, or are they American sovereigns! Are you ready to be bamboozled by the chaff of a corporation official, skilled In the art of seductive distribution of ' favors where they do the most good, or have you Judgment enough to read between the lines 7 A meeting of the taxpayers at the city hall will be held tomorrow (Monday) night. You have the opportunity to assert your manhood and express your honest views at that meeting. Your negligence or activity will determine whether Omaha shall dla of monopoly strangulation and dry rot, or shall break the shackles off her feet and start forward and upward. Which shall It be?

X, generously at supper and had sent up sev eral requests suddenly bethought himself that he ought to tip tho leader. He had just settled his bill with the waiter and fumbled through his pocket for a douceur for the musicians. The harvest was Indeed light and finally he slipped something Into an envelope, a relieved smile spreading over his face as he sent the waiter scurry ing toward the musician's gallery. What the leader found In the envelope was a ticket good for a half-doien Turkish baths In .the city's most' fashionable establish ment. ' . ' r - i ; 'I A, Threat with av Tip. It was on last election night that a Jolly crowd ot young men entered the same cafe to be greeted by the-tones of -the too, too familiar "Miserere." As the , minor, air died away a waiter-carried an -envelope to the leader, who read' thereon these words: "If you don't ' play a real live Irish melody ws'll put this place on the bum, and In abort order." . With a Hushed face, the musician started to tear the envelope In piece, when with the first rip something caught his eye. In side the envelope lay a $10 bill, which he had neatly torn in twain. It goes without saying that the young men heard the Irish air and the $10 bill received a dose of mucilage. In what Is known as a family restaurant, where many apartment dwellers tske their dinners each evening, the leader one night was astonished to receive through a waiter this note: "When I am In, the restaurant, please never play .'Jerusalem' or 'The Holy City.' My little son, now dead, sang these In' the choir." '.' Folded In the request wss a $5 bill. .The leader to this day observes the request, and the woman, still gowned in mourning, dines there nesrly every night. Walters, as a rule, make ludicrous mis takes In carrying verbal requests for cer tain pieces. Among the titles which after ward proved garbled requests for the Inter mesio from "Cavalerta" may be mentioned, "Tom O'Leary ' and "Corolla Bolla Cigar- ro." The most Ingenuous take-off on the famous sextette from "Lucia dl Lammer moor" was "succotash ef , something or other." It was a Jewish waiter who carried up a. request for "Holly Boily," and when the orchestra played "Hurly-Burly," the leader .Instantly recognised from the ex preaslon of the diner's face that he had misinterpreted the title. - He made a trip in person to the table and learned that tho original request hsd been for "Holy City. . Nartherajora Call (or "Dixie." Experienced leaders say that there seems to exist little or no connection and sym pathy between requests and their senders. A Jew will ask feollngly for "Klllarney" and a aharp-faced bachelor maid will de mand '"Sweet Sixteen." The man who has been having the time of his life seldom becomes- maudlin so far as his muslcsl tastes are 'concerned, but asks for something In vigorating like "Oh, Didn't He Ramble?" And the woman who asks regularly for "Dixie" hss probably never been further south than Asbury Park, N. J. Among the tricks ot trade employed by leaders of orchestras In tbs quieter cafes vShere the muslrlsn's balcony Is close to the tables, is to study ths programs car ried by large theater parties, and then, being sure ot the play they have seen, offar Its most popular airs. This Invariably wins favor for the establishment. Those there are who try the soul of the leader by Insistently demanding muslo ot the rbesp. popular sort thst has been worn threadbare by street musicians. Others, es pecially In New York, where player folk sup, spy a comedian or tenor who has pop ularised a aong and In a conspicuous man ner Uey request that his hit' be played. This shows the familiarity of the patron with actors, but It brings anguish to the poor actor who Is singing it with Innumer able encore eight times a week. . Aa Afteraaoa with Wafatr." The leader of three musicians and who himself plays first violin tells this very ex cellent story on himself. He had . Just finished a rendition of "Nancy Brows" ose night, when s strikingly gowned woman sent him a request tor "The Magic Flute." entire. As the demand came from a reg ular patron ot the restaurant, he crossed to her table and explained that it would be impossible for htm to give even bait a dosea numbers from ths opera, let alone ths complete score at that time of the night. Moreover his two a3llanta were not thor oughly familiar with ths opera. However. If ahs was so fond of grand opera he would be glad to arrange tor as afternoon at hr own home, for which he would make her a reasonable rate sod give hi sauslclaaa ths advantage of special rehearsals. The woman was delighted, and then and there made out a muslclaoly program. The re hearsals went on apace, the afternoon came, the orchestra, small but well trained, gathered In the parlor of a spacious apart ment house, and so did the well gowned woman. The program started off with a fantasy on "Lucia dl Lammermoor." They had Just started In upon the Tannhauser over ture when a sweet young thing In blue crepe rustled up to the leader and asked: - "Excuse me, but don't you know 'Under the Bamboo Tree?'" The leader looked helplessly from the speaker to the hostess. The latter bit b Up and her color rose, but she nodded her head. The musician bowed gravely to the young woman, gastng at him with expectant eyes: ' ' "Certainly, when we finish this , tann hauser number." And after the tale of love under a bamboo tree came some rag-tlme and then more rag-time. The hostess of "an afternoon of opera" looked slightly dsxed, but the pro gram went on to a popular finish. And the leader vows that when he Is hired to give Wagner program tor after noon teas he will carry rag-tlme scores In stead. Ne more extra rehearsals for him. PROMINENT PEOPLE.

TO PROMOTE SPORT IN ARMY Ksw Order Enoonrsgsi Soldiers to Indulge In Atnletio Contests, REMOVES SOME DEPARTMENTAL RED TAPE Hereafter Eall.fed Men Will Not He- ialra Farloachs to Leave Their Pasts to Participate la Araay Games. The War department Is studying methods ot exercise In order to give the officers and enlisted men of the army benefits of work similar to that of campaigns while the country bas no use for their services In the field, and the last step In this direction Is an order which permits the soldiers. both officers and enlisted men, to visit posts In the department other than where they are atatloned for the purpose ot holding athletic contests. Under the rules here tofore in force when a party went from one post to another to play a game of base ball or engage In any other athletio contest the men were required to take furloughs and the officers leaves ot absence. With the new rules In operation the offi cers of the several posts will be encour aged In organising teams and clubs along all lines of athletic aport. Base ball, foot ball, lacrosse, tennis, wrestling and similar sports will have place, by sufferance at least. In the regular work ef the enlisted men and they will be given every oppor tunity consistent with the best Interests of the service to perfect themselves In ucb exercises. It la expected that with this encourage ment every company in the department will organise at least one club and will enter Into contests with the other companies at the post and that the winner of these post contests will meet at central points In the department for the purpose of set tling the departmental championships. After this point has been settled it may be that the departmental winners will be permitted to meet for the purpose ot de termining the army championships. Officers May Provide Prises. It Is believed that some of the officers will unite to arrange for prizes to be con tested for and that the men will Join the movement eagerly, appreciating the effort of the government In this direction. There Is one form, ot sport which Is not certain of Its .landing In these contest and that I boxing. General Bates re quested a ruling from the depart ment on this question some time ago and the officers there referred the matter back to him without recommendation. In the case before him at that time the general refused to grant permission to hold a box ing contest, but let it be understood that the precedent was not to be followed In all cases and that each case would stand upon Its own merits, thus leaving the matter practically unsettled. Officers at army headquarters sre very enthusiastic over the new rule of the de partment and predict great benefit to the army from a physical standpoint from the contests which will ensue and step will be taken to impress the Importance of the exercise upon post and company com mander..

The movement for the reunion was Inau gurated by Oeneral Shatter, the president of the society, who a few day ago issued a circular to the officers and members, re ferring to the work ot the army before Santiago and its brilliant success.

He suggested as a date for the first reunion July 17, 1903. which will be the fifth anni versary ot the surrender of General Toral, the Spanish commander at Santiago, and requested the secretary to call a meeting of the committee ot arrangements. This committee consist of thirty-four member, Including a number of officer of both the regular army and the volunteer, a well a some noncommissioned officer of both services.
