THE OMAHA DAILY TIKE: SATUITOAY, MAY 0, 1903. SECOND CONCERT A DELIGHT U And ienoa Sbowi Mack Enthojiatm at the Maj Musical FeatiraL CHICAGO ORCHESTRA MAKES DECIDED HIT Coadaetor Rosenbecker Pleases (he Maale Loteri and Soloists and Chorus Share In b Tri umph and Applause. Early members of the audience who got to their seats In the, Coliseum yesterday evening before the majority were treated to connlderable of that preparatory tuning and warmlna; up of instrument which so whets the music lover's appetite of sound, and to the fanciful so simulates the busy barnyard; the clarionet, which gobbles In Its lower register and crows above; the bleating trombone and the bassoo, which quack, and the French-horn cow. But when Conductor Rosenbecker smote his rack and waved forth the stream of sound he began one of the best concerts which It has been the pleasure of an Omaha audi ence to hear. And the hearers knew and warmed Into strong applause. Nlcolal's "Merry Wives of Windsor" was the overture, a composition from Its nature always popular, and Rosenbecker wrought with his violins In such delicate phrasing aa almost to parallel the human voice, lie conceded an encore, a graceful number played with muted violins. During the evening the orchestra gave three numbers in addition to the accompaniments. First were two movements from the Scandi navian symphony of Cowen, the orchestra tion noticeable, the allegro moderato con ferring an unusual prominence to the reed section. "The Irish," a symphony by Stan ford, two movements of which followed In Interpretation, held many suggestions of the Celtlsh nature Its poetry and sudden bursts of passion but did not particularly please the audience. MacKensle's "Scot tish Rhapsody" closed the program. Rosenbecker Is Popnlar. Omaha musicians endorse the opinion of other cities In placing Mr. Rosenbecker .among the first conductors in this country. Vllls full orchestra numbers and aocompani Li?nts are alike the pleasing product of ripe Experience and native talent. His selec tions have been Judicious, not playing a heavy aymphony through, but giving di versified and masterly movements from various compOHltlons. And, moreover, the numbers which he plays during the festival are many of them practically new to Omaha. We are familiar with the German and Italian, but Scandinavian, Irish and Scotch inspirations are novel. There seems no question that our audi ences like best the human voice and this in solo. Each of. the three singers was called back and repeated bowing would not do and encores followed. The soloists chose the declamatory music of the aria, which is best fitted to the barnlike Coli seum. Mrs. Genevieve Clark Wilson, her very bearing proclaiming the finished ar tist, sang an "Ave Maria" of Bruch in German, receiving hearty applause and flowers, and answering with "Kathleen Mavourneen." Marked purity of style is hers and a distinct enunciation. Mrs. Sue Harrison Furbeck gave Gorlng-Thomaa' "Ah, My Heart Is Weary," In a rich con tralto voice of much quality and responded with "Slumber Boat," by Gaynor, a lullaby In marked contrast to her aria. She Is a singer of much promise. Mr. Beresford rendered the difficult aria from the Mes siah, "Why Do the Nations' Rage?" and responded tc the applause with a Gypsy aoflgv'- He has- a rolling r which might not be pleasing to some hearers. Festival Choir Well I. Iked, The festival choir sang twice and held their popularity of the previous night, this especially so of Mr. Kelly, who received pink and white roses when he came on to conduct. Plnsutl's "Parting Kiss" was given delightfully, with a feeling which held the audience. The first number, "The Two Cupids," was also pleasing. In this the ,tenors made an uneven reach for one high and exposed "Cupid," but more than compensated in the "Parting Kiss."

He could never have taken base metal for silver had he lived in our day and recog nized that the GORHAM trade-mark is the only definite standard of purity.

All responsible Jewelers keep ware thus narked IXIKUNa the illustrated BEE TELLS LOCAL HISTORY in pictures made at the time the eventa occur. This la one of the functions of The Illustrated Bee. Its staff photographer gets there at the right time, and he always gets the right kind of a picture to make plain the point 'of the story. In the forthcoming number will be found another line collection of Illustrations of local events, all made from photo graphs taken right here. During the last few days Omaha has undergone considerable excitement In the way of political and labor struggles, and The Bee has kept up with them, giv ing the very latest and only reliable news; so also It gives the only pic tures of these Important events. In this respect as In others. The Bee Is still unrivaled in the west. STRIKE PICTURES HAVE THE LEAD, for all the local interest ha centered around the labor disturb ances. The Bee staff photographer was busy on the 1st of May, when all the others were getting ready to be Idle, and he secured a nice lot of photographs, showing the men going out from the different places, showing the effects of the strike In the way of unfinished buildings, and other In teresting features. Along with the pictures Is a conservative review of the situation. This feature of the paper Is alone worth more than the price asked for the whole. It gives better than a volume of print an Idea of the local labor situation today. WHAT OUR LIBRARIES ARE DOING is a special article on a popular feature of the work of the public libraries, by Dr. Victor Rosewater of the Omaha Public Library Board. It Is Illustrated from photographs made In the Omaha Public library and Omaha public schools. Mr. Frank G. Car penter writes from Frankfort-on-the Main giving an account of the origin and rise of the Rothschilds, and tell ing of the wide and varied ramifi cations of their Immense banking Interests, which began In a very ordinary way. "Beautiful Models in Art Photography" deals with a new branch of artistic activity, and Is illustrated from photographs of some of the most noted of the beautiful women so engaged; then there Is another Installment of the Crockett serial; and two pages full of matter especially for the women; a special story on the women workers In the big hotels, and a special story on a race of men who dress and act like women. A short complete story rounds out the fiction, and the regular departments of the paper are all well filled. In addition the usual number of Inde pendent pictures will be found, mak ing the number complete In every detail.

Following the criti cisms of Prof. Adolf Lo rent's bloodless method of reducing congenita! hip dislo cation at the convention of the medical as sociation In session this week at New Or leans, a concerted attack upon the Aus trian savant seems scheduled for the sixth triennial congress of American physicians and surgeons, which is to be held next week at Washington, aays the Herald. In the program, as sent out to the members, are abstracts from several papers, In which the purpose of discussing the bloodless method Is Indicated. The publication of Intimations that physicians had found that paralysis had followed what Is now termed the Lorens bloodless operation for reducing hip dislocation, la stirring up the defend ers of and those not In accord with the Lorens method, and It seems probable thnt the resentment felt by American practi tioners over the bringing of the Austrian specialist to this country to perform his operation upon little Lollta Armour for a fee of $30,000 and expenses of himself and an assistant will be made evident. NEW ORLEANS, May i.

BOARD GETS SUPPORT IT NEEDED Sentiment All On Way and That la Favor of the Immediate Con straetlon of aa Ample High School Bedding. In response to a call for a mass meeting to consider the matter of more school room about three doxen representative citlxens gathered In the assembly room ol the high school building snd discussed the question last night. Although all of the newspapers had given notices of the meeting and many personal letters had been sent out by the committee on buildings and grounds the attendance was small. Dana Morrill acted as chairman. He first called upon Superin tendent McLean to give facts and figures In regard to the condition of the schools. Prof. McLean told of the enrollment of 207 pupils In the high school and said that fifty-seven classes had to be accommodated In what might be called eight rooms. He considered the ventilation entirely Inade quate and called attention to the condition of the assembly room where the meeting was held. In his argument for a new high school building Superintendent McLean said that from the sidewalk to the assembly room Is seventy two steps. This he considers too many. Then again he said that the halls tn the present building are entirely too nar row. Taking each department through the professor showed those present that the building now occupied by the high school Is not adequate. While he made no sug gestions, he told of the actual conditions existing and offered to show those present through the building to substantiate his statements. When Superintendent McLean concluded It was evident that nearly every one In the room was In favor of the construction of a suitable high school building. Chairman Morrill called upon Colonel C. M. Hunt for remarks, and the colonel favored voting bonds to provide sufficient room for pupils of the public schools. A. L. Bergqulst, a former member of the board, was asked for an opinion. Mr. Berg, qulst said that he favored spending IIOJ.OOO on the construction of a high school build ing on the site already owned by the dis trict, but he did not favor bonds. He sug gested an Increase In taxation Instead of an issue of bonds. Thomas J. O'Nell favored the Immediate construction of a high school building and so did Colonel J. B. Watklns. Other speak era followed In the same strain. It Is more than likely that the Board of Education will submit a proposition to the people to vote $100,000 In bonds for a high school building and turn the present building Into a ward school. Many of those present did not favor the Idea of the city buying the present high school property for a city hall, as It Is re. ported that the building Is not worth as much ss might be demanded by the board. although all admit that the site Is an Ideal one for a city hall. The meeting was called for the purpose ef securing an expression from the people on the rubject of bonds, and It Is now up to the board to decide whether the proposition will be submitted or not. Dirty Area Ways. Several times within the last month the attention of the city authoiltles has been called to the condition 6f areaways In the business portion of the city. Many of the areaways are filled with rubbish of all kinds, especially papers and other Inflam mable material. Inspector Jones has served a number of notices to clean up, but he merely wastes postage, for no attention Is paid to his orders. Now that the police and fire departments are under control of a board there Is to be a cleaning up of the areaways. Chairman Vansant of the Fire and Polloe board said last night that at the meeting of the board to be held Tuesday night the matter will be brought up. It It understood that Chief Garrett of the fire department will be directed to make an In spection of all areaways In the business portion of the city and to serve notices to clean up within twenty-four hours. If tin orders of the chief are not obeyed arrests will surely follow. Viaduct Considered Dangerous. The flooring of the Q street viaduct Is considered to be In a dangerous condition. Teamsters say that the cracks between planks are so wide in some places as to pull the shoes off horses. The bridge Is In such a condition that street cars are com pelled to run slow, In order to prevent vibration as much as possible. All the rail. road companies, supposed to keep the bridge In repair have to ray is that the lack of material prevents them rrom maaing re oalrs. Councilman O'Connor and Broderlck are going to take the matter up and O'Con. nor says that unless sometning is aone very soon the bridge will have to be closed to traffic. Both Want Appointments. Since the removal of Policeman Bingham, colored, there Is considerable rivalry among the colored politicians for the vacancy on the force. Henry Stewart haj filed an ap plication with Secretary Bergqulst of th.i Fire and Police boara. ana so nu oarney Greer. Both are weu m iuuw" circles and have numerous endorsements to helr annllcatlons. It Is understood, mat some colored man will be given a plaoe. but just how soon the members or tne Doara do not state. Christian Assoclntlon Items.

TALKS ON WORK OF W. C. T. U Mrs. Mary E. Teats, Rational Lecturer of the Organisation, l)e llrers an Address. But a small audience was present at Kountse Memorial church last evening to listen to the address of Mrs. Mary E. Teats, national lecturer for the Woman's Chris tian Temperance union. Mrs. Teats said In part: "I regret thtvt some of our Christian people cannot better employ themselves than In sitting down and shuffling a pack of cards and calling it a social diversion. We cannot serve God and Mammon. Progressive euchre Is but pro gression from a mother's parlor to the penitentiary. There ,1s no difference from a prise of beaten gold in the form of a souvenir spoon in the parlor of a Chris tian home to that of a beaten or impressed piece of gold or silver in the form of money that Is won or lost In the gambling den. A boy once said to his mother, who chlded him for gambling: 'Why, mamma, I did but what you did. I won a $10 gold piece at the club, while you lost a gold spoon of the same value at progressive euchre.' The spiritual cause of Christ is at low ebb In the progressive euchre or whist parlor. Just as much as It Is in the lowest gambling den. "No organisation has done more for the cause of the church of Christ than the Women's Christian Temperance union. Its mission is the upbuilding of the home and the perpetuation of its beauty and glory. Its worst enemy Is the saloon. Its Initials are the synonym of annoyance to the sa loons. They characterize it w-omen con stantly t-ormentlng u-s. It was a woman who caused the state of Kansas to enact the prohibition laws of that state, and it was a woman who compelled the enforce ment of those laws by her hatchet." Following Mrs. Teat's address Miss Grace Rummel of Omaha, one of the winners of the Demorest gold medal prizes, gave a very impressive recitation upon "Beauty of Womanhood In the Christian Home." The evening's exercises closed with a number of those present signing the white ribbon pledge, and the announcement of further meetings to be addressed by Mrs. Teats during the several days she will yet remain here. THANKFUL TO MR. CARNEGIE George Perkins Appreciates Sugges tions sus to His rront Sharlng Scheme. NEW YORK. May 8. George Perkins, of the banking firm of Morgan & Co., and author of the profit-sharing scheme adopted by the United States Steel .corporation, which was considered In Andrew Carne gie's speech to the British Iron masters In London, Is quoted as ssyfcVgf "I do not know which to appreciate the more, Mr. Carnegie's commendation of the scheme of sharing profits with the em ployes or his criticism of it,, Mr, Carnegie Is the highest authority on that subject and his remarks are as complimentary to the workmen as to us. "What Mr. Carnegie says about the faults of the present system undett which we are working would be very carefully consid ered by our corpmittee having the new system in charge. The plan, as It now exists, I think it is generally understood. Is purely a tentative one. We have not said that we were satisfied with Its details, for we are not. We are watching for places where Improvements will be possible and are grateful to Mr. Carnegie for the sug gestions and recommendations he has made. "We concur fully with what Mr. Carne gie says concerning tho necessity of pro tecting the workmen shareholders.

The 'message results from revelations made in connection with the opening of coal bids yesterday, when all the coal deal ers Inserted provisions making the prices subject to rise of freight tates. Such a reservation was never made before and the governor siys It proves conclusively that the railroad companies had prepared for action on apprehension of legislation In creasing their taxes.
