Cheap Power For Omaha
(Copyright, 1902. by A. B. Richardson.)
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 .'--

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.

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

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.

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

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

army from a physical standpoint from the
