MUSIC AND MUSICIANS
Hardels "Messiah." presented by the!
Choral society of the People's Institute, the
Cusraden Philharmonic orchestra snd a
quartet of soloists, wse given a beautiful
rendition at the Initial performance last
evening.
The quartet was composed of Mis. Jes
sica DeWolf, soprsno;. Mrs. Mabel Craw-ford-Welpton.
contralto; Mr. Marc Lagui,
tenor, snd Mr. Gustav H'lmqulst, bass.
These artists are too well known by their
previous good work to need any Introduc
tion to Omaha, unless it be Mr. Iigen. who
has a very sweet tenor voice, which Is
somewhat marred by a decided "throat-
Iness." more apparent In his first solos
than In the last. The recitation and aria,
He that dwelleth In heaven shsll laugh
them to scorn; the Lord shsll have them
In derision; thou shalt break them with
a rod of Iron; Thou shalt dah them In
pieces like a potter's vessel." was splend
idly sung. Mr. Iigen. having overcome
a marked husklness by that time, seemed
to get more In touch with the romposer's
thought. It was unfortunate that he did
not sing the well-known favorite, "Com
fort Te. My People." In the good style of
the Inter work, but he will likely recover
by Thursday evening's performance.
Mrs. DeWolf was heard here two sea
sons ago at a recital given by her under
the auspices of the Concert Promoters, snd
last night's singing only deepened the de
lightful Impression which she made at her
first appearance. She Is a consummate
artist, with a bird-like voice, a fine musi
cal temperament, and gives a scholarly In
terpretation of all her lines. Her soprano
is given a great deal of work In this ora
torio and not once did she fsil In all that
was demanded of her. Her pianissimo
work was especially noticeable, and a per
fect radiance seemed to come from her
rendition of the aria. "Rejoice Greatly. O
Daughter of Zlon." The most familiar so
prano aria, of course, was "I Know That
My Redeemer Llveth," and well, Indeed,
did Mrs. DeWolf stand any comparison
which might have been made. It was sung
In a thoroughly convincing manner, with
beautiful phrasing and fine tonal work
throughout.
Never could Omaha have been prouder
to say "Mrs. Welpton Is on of us" than
last night. Her work, always artistic, was
especially good in this style of music. Her
tones were round, of velvety softness,
with absolute purity, and soulful to a de
gree. Perhaps the depth of feeling was
more marked In the air "He Shall Feed
th Flock," with the preceding recitation
and In the secdnd part the air, "He Was
Despised and Rejected of Men." These
songs were rendered In a magnificent man
ner and were highly appreciated by the
entire audience.
Mr. Holmquiat made his first nppearanc
before an Omaha audience last spring with
the Chicago Symphony orchestra at the Au
ditorium and It proved a decided change
for the better to hear him In a room built
with some thought' as to Its acoustic prop
erties. He has a deep, mellow voice like
the diapason tones of an organ. He uses
too much force In his recitative work, not
saving enough for his climaxes. Aside from
this he sings In a thoroughly muslclan-like
manner. The bass part calls for a tre
mendous amount of work and it was all
dona In a conscientious manner that
brought him close to his listeners.
The chorus work was fine: Simply fine!
The amount of work demanded to. obtain
such effects is simply appalling, and from
first to last the singing waa excellent. The
tenors were a little Weak from lack of
numbers and the soprano showed the ef
fect of their hard work a little on their
high, notes In the "Hallelujah" chorus, but
not eripugh to mar the. enjoyment. It was
absolutely- thrilling the way the choruses
were sung, especially in the opening;, "And
the Glory of the Lord," and the time-honored
"Hallelujah" chorus, with everyone
In the audience on his feet ii) reverent at
tention, and the last one, "Worthy the
Lamb That Was Slain Amen."
The orchestra did excellent work and
showed great Improvement as a result of
Us continual practice, and from the over
ture to the finish played with splendid
precision and well-balanced tone, supported
by the organ under the capable playing of
Mr. Thickstun, and the piano, Miss De
Graff accompanying the oratorio. Mr. Cus.
caden played first violin and did fine work.
Surely Mr. Pennlman deserved the ova
tion which he received at the close of the
oratorio, for the success of the whole con
cert 1 directly traceable to his untiring
efforts. He conducted the orchestra and
chorus with a directness and precision that
was thoroughly admirable. This great
work will be repeated tonight and no one
who can possibly go should fall to hear It.
The auditorium of the First Congrega
tional church was filled Wednesday after
noon with music lovers to hear the mati
nee musical given by the soloists of the
Omaha Spriug Music festival, and right
well' were they puid for the coming.
The program opened with a piano
number by Mlsa Corinne Paulsen, who
played Martuccl's Concert Etude. -This
young woman play with a considerable
amount of dash, style And spirit, which
combined with her excellent technique al
ways gives great pleasure to her listeners.
She played the piano accompaniments in
a very crcditatiir manner.
Mr. Marc Lagen, a tenor with a very
good natural voice, but somewhat spoiled
In many tones by a decided throatiness,
gave an arioso from Leoncavello's "Pagli
accl" In the first part of the program; In
the second half he sang a group of songs,
"Love's .World," by Pontius; "Her Birth
day." by Browne, and "A Border Ballad,"
by Cowen, and very graciously responded
by singing "Calm as the Night."
Mr. Robert Cuscaden played Vleuxtemps'
Andante Rellgioao, and Nodacek' "Per
petual Motion" In a masterly manner.
Mr. Holmquiat sang "She Alone Charmeth
My Sadness," by Gounod, In the first part
and in the second a group of three songs
responding to an Insistent encore with
Ashford's "Dreamy Days" and later a little
Swedish song.
Mrs. Jessica De Wolf sang In splendid
style Elisabeth's song from "Tannhauser,
"Dloh Theure Halle, ' fairly captivating
her audience, appearing again In the second
part In a group of four songs. In thl
gioup her manner of singing "I Dreamt
I Dwelt In Marble Halls" was a revelation.
Never has it been better sung. Her sing'
Ing of Mrs. Beach's song. "The Years at
the Spring." was fine.. It was a Joy Just
to listen to her.
Mrs. weipton gave in tne nrst part an
aria from Mlgnon beautifully, and In the
second part sang a group of songs that
were simply charming. Especially 1 this
true of the second of the trio, "In Plcardle."
It una very decided success, this mat-
j Inee musical, and It la to be hoped other
concert artists will repeat the idea.

WORLD-HERALD PURSUES OLD TACTICS
Makes Assertions, bat Declines to
Protire Proof to apoort Them
When Challenged to the
Test.
Th Board of Fire and Police Coinnils
tloners met last night for the consideration
of protest In the liquor license ciises. of
which three were before the board. The
first was the esse of Alexander Grant,
whose license was protested by The Omaha
Ree on the ground that he had not pub
lished In the paper having the largest circu
lation In Douglas county. The contention
of The Bee was that Grant had not pub
lished In good faith. On behalf of The Bee
It was offered to produce the circulation
lists before trie board and submit them as
evidence, provided the World-Herald would
do the same. The offer was repeatedly
made to the board, but Mr. Hitchcock, who
appeared to represent the World-Herald,
declined when finally pinned down to enter
Into any such test of the relative circula
tions. He demanded that The Bee produce
Its books, but would not agree to produce
any records of the circulation of his paper.
During the course of his remarks he was
Indulging In some broadcast boasts as to
the merits of his paper as an advertising
medium, when he was Interrupted by a
query as to why the Bennett company no
longer advertised In the World-Herald.
"We kicked them out some time ago," said
Mr. Hitchcock, "and It will be a mighty
long time before they ever get back, too."
The motion to overrule The Bee's protest
on the question of good faith was lost and
the cases were continued until Friday even
ing, when several others will be taken tip.
The question of the largest circulation' will
again be presented.
The protest of Russell against Anton
Brobach will also he up that evening. He
nmteata on the around that Brobach Is
guilty of infrlngment of the Slocumb law
and therefore not entitled to a license.

mont with a companion for pulling guns

Tuesday It was learned William Hughes,
who had been subpoenaed as a witness,

Lakeside, Cherry county, and a deputy
sheriff sent after him.
The state also struck some unexpected
testimony when Michael Fpeik went on
the stand for the prosecution Wednesday.
Bpeck testified Carlson, who was killed by
Noonan, had a large knife used In killing
hogs In hi rocket at the time of the
tragedy. He also said Carlson had been
drinking considerable whisky Just before
the trouble with Noonan. The other evi
dence of the state Indicated he had not
been drinking. It was brought Out In
the examination that Bpeck had been
boarding with Noonan for several months.
State's Chief Witness.
The principal wltnes for the state was
Frank Thompson, who was with Carlson
at the time. He Said Noonan and Carlso.i
met In front of Harold's saloon at L
street and Boulevard and Noonan de
manded a dollar he said Carlson owed
him. Carlson, he said, told Noonan he
did not have the money and started on.
1 was about the middle of the street
when Noonan ran out and struck him in
the temple with a knife. Noonan then
went back and telephoned the police that
he had got Into some trouble and asked
them to wait till he arranged for bonds
men before arresting him. Carlson was
taken to a hospital where he died the
next morning. Thompson testified neither
he nor Carlson had been drinking. He did
not see Carlson have a knife.
George Harold, who as brought up
from Fremont by Sheriff Bauttiau, 1jo
testified at the morning session.
That bad feeling existed between Ftank
Noonan and Charles Carlson was brought
out In the evidence adduced In the hearing
of the case before Judge Sutton Wednesday
afternoon. Both men worked In the same
slaughter house and the evidence showed
Noonan had been superceded by Carlson.
David Ross testified a few days beforo the
murder that Noonan had told htm Carlson
owed him some money and If he did not
pay up next payday he would "put the
fixings to him."
The defense has not Indicated what thtory
It will follow.
