L1TTLK Epiphany atory.
Epiphany mean "an appear
ano." And the church festival
of the Epiphany Is held th 8th
of January, or Twelfth-Night
after Christmas. They used to
have great time on Twelfth-Night. Shake
speare chose it forjthe title of one of his
well known plays: "Twelfth-Night or
What You Will."
But It I of Epiphany we would speak.
This festival of Epiphany ls held In cele
bration of th visit of the wise men to the
Utile manger at Bethlehem to see the
Infant, the Chrlst-chlld. And they came
with gifts of gold and frankincense and
myrrh. And th reason it ls called the
Epiphany was becaus of the Appearance
of th Star which, directed them to the
place wher th young Child lay.
And tha story is this. It happened in
Omaha. It happened in a school. It hap
pened to a oholr singer.
Now there la ln Omaha a certain school
wher boys and girl are wont to meet,
and where a certain teacher, (who I a
choir singer) was accustomed to go' every
day, and teach the children those thing
which belong to their welfare In mind
and tplrit.
You who read, all know that some chil
dren lcain slowly and some learn rapidly.
Home children are good and some are
tinuood not so bad, but Just somewhat un
good. Some are taught at home, and some
are nut. Some are laxy and some are ac
tive. '
Well It happened In thl school, of which
we are thinking just now, that a certain
teacher began 'o think very hard about
what sh could d.i for some of her back
ward boys. In this school there were three
boys who wtre not so terribly fond of
study, nor of doing thos thing which
model bey should alwaya do. Ho this
teacher said to her three boy ta well as
to sum other) that If they would give up
part of their vacation tlm to th teacher,
the would give up part of her vacation
tlm to them. And the boy did U. They
promised that they would, and they did.
They wer punctual, they wer Interested,
they wer becoming ready to grow into
Wis Men.
But thl waa not all. There cam a day
when ther wa t a spirit of piphany, and
th teacher was solemnly approached, and,
with more or lea tlmldnei., waa pre
sented with a mysterious package. Open
ing It, she found therein a little gift of a
set of shirtwaist pins, and ah vlue It
mor than any other gift sh received.
And so ther cam three Uttl Wis Men,
and they opened their treasures and gave
gift because of the loving sacrifice of a
school teachei who wanted to help them.
That a Uttl feast of th Eplphatiy.
Th recent visit of Madame Schumann
Helnk iu a "aong-recltal" offer a most In
teresting thought concerning the evolution
of the . Prima Donna recital. Ther ar a
good many people (the musloal editor of
Th Be being only one) who from tlm to
tlm hav voiced the belief that the song
ar not compatible Ther has been th
frequent statement that tha great prima
donna personage does things at a song
recital which an amateur would not be
allowed to do with Impunity. The audience
applauds because it Is the prima donna,
and unconsciously takes the Incorrect posi
tion that whatever the prima donna does Is
necessarily right, or else the prima doun
would not do it.
That is not the question Just now, how
ever. The evolution of the Drlma donna
recital Is the thing to be considered.
We can all remember when the prima
donna started forth on her annual tour of
conquest and glory, and with a program
which was conformed almost entirely to
the giand 'arias'' or operatic solos for
which she was famous. Arias, or big solos,
from the' famous operas, usually Italian,
war the offerings presented; and then
"Horn Sweet Home" or "Annie Laurie"
or' "The Old Folks at Home" was thrown
It), gratis, and the audience went home wild
with delight and entranced with the slng
lng of the prima donna.
Such a program would not do nuwadays.
U would not attract an audience, nor would
it satisfy an audince If It had attracted
ope.
Now we have the nixed program. The
prima donna sings some of her famuud
solos, that is, some of the big thlngH which
ar connected with the rules or parts In
which she .appears. Then she sings some
German numbers, a French Hem or two,
and some offering In the Knulihh language.
It will only be a matter of time until
th people will demand (till more of the
song form, and tha aria will be retired.
We will then have the Song Recital. This
is a "consummation' most devoutly to be
wished."
others. The outlook makes one very optimistic.
The announcement on the Sehumann
Helnk programs to the effect that Dr.
Wuellner is to make his appearance here,
was greeted with a feeling amounting al
most to exultation by those who are fond
of music.
Dr. Wuellner has been so very much ln
demand In the cast, and his price has
been so prohibitive therefore to the west
ern people, that his coming was despaired
of. But by persistent work, a dato has
been slipped ln, on the way to the coast,
and so Dr. Wuellner will actually sing
ln Omaha on the ISth of January (this
month). Miss Evelyn Hopper Is to be sin
cerely congratulated and she will have un
stinted support.
Who is Dr. Wuellner? Well, the papers
and magazines have been so full of his
And yet, there may be a few who have i
not chanced to read of the man.
Dr. Wuellner is said to be the greatest
Interpreter of songs In the German lan
guage. The remarkable point ls, that those
who have heard him and who knew not
the language, have been stirred deeply
by the sentiment of the song, and that
the man has a way of Interpreting which
actually seems to make a "language of
communication" unnecessary: it ls as
though he translates his thought into
music, and places the music before you
through his marvelous volce-manlpula-
tlon, so that you get the thoughts from
his music, In your own language.
Is not this remarkable? And yet it Is
real singing, or rather reul interpreting.
No one should miss an opportunity to
hear thla wonder-singer. And be sure to
get th songs which he will sing as soon
as you ran secure the program, and have
some good German friend translate them
for you: get some other good friend to
play the music for you. (That Is, If you
cannot do it yourself.) This will be the
price you will have to pay to get the full
est enjoyment out of the evening. The
ticket of admission will udinit you to the
recital hull, but the other will admit you
to the realm of Germ in Lleder.

Davenport, la., one of the principal attoi
neys for J. C. Mabray. Mr. Mullck Is In
Omaha In connection with th afalr of
the Mabray prosecution.
The lawytr has nothing to say concern
ing tha probable line of defense for Ma
Bray Indicating that It ta probable that the
same tactlca will be used that were tritd
in the John Dobbins case.
When their attention was called to the
fact that the "rules of the road" ordinance,
supposed to be In effect In Omaha, was
"repealed" by a resolution Introduced by
Councilman Davis In 1907, .both City At
torney Burnam and his ass Btant, John A.
Rlno, la'ufhed.
"That Is an Impossibility," said Mr. Bur
nam. "A resolution can neither suspend
or repeal an ordinance."
"No, sir," said Mr. Rlne, smiling like
the new furniture in the Elks' club, "that
cannot be done. The only way to repeal
an ordinance Is by passing another orJi
nunc with that specific purpose In view."
The history of the ordinance and the
revolutions providing for -is enforcement,
then for ll suspension and iep.al, is as
follows:
The ordinance is numbered C029, lntru
duccd by Councilman Brutker and passed
June II, 1. 07.
On October 32. 1W7, Councilman Elsasser
introduced a concurrent resolution, which
was pasfced nd lgned by the mayor, di
recting the mayor and chief of police to
Instruct the policemen to enforce the ordi
nance "fully."
Dr. I)ls Han Anwlnst It.
Some time afterward Dr. Davis, then
serving In the council, was stopped by a
policeman for a violation of th ordinance,
lie was angered; so much so that at a
meeting of the counoil held November S,
lb07, he Introduced a concurrent resolution
directing th chief of police to suspend the
order theretofore Issued "applying to or
dinance 6029, regulatirg the use of the
streets for dilvlnr." The resolution also
contained this language:. (
"It is Intended by this resolution to re
peal said ordinance, The mayor Is. alto
miuested to comply with said resolution,
as the same ls a hardship on the people
of Omaha. '
When Chief of Police Donahue was seen
relative to the Davis "suspension" of a
city ordinance, he said the resolution
came to him In the regular course, ar.d
he transmitted it to the captains on duty
at the police station.
rllnce then no attention has been paid to
Ord'nancs COUH until Officer Wilson ar
rested an automobile driver at Sixteenth
and Farnam Thursday, of this week.
When brought Into court the accused au
tomoblllst gave the court the merry ha-ha.
according to report, and was discharged.
To say the city attorney's office was sur
prised to learn of this action I putting It
mildly.
Hin Assumes Keavonslbllity.
"I drew that ordinance myaeif," said
Assistant City Attorney Ulna. It Is based
on ordinances In force In oilier cities, ex
cept that some of the most stringent pro
vision of those ordinances are left out, as
being too harsh to apply in Omaha, for a
starter, anyway."
Ordinance ti0"9 provides that all drivers
of vthlilea, drawn by horse or propelled
by power, shall keep to the right hand
side of the street going went or south snd
to the left side of the street going east
or north. Th Intent was to prevept "J.iy"
drivers or "Joy riders" from creating con
fusion and endangering foot passengcis
and other drivers at crossings and on
rrowded strttts. Ther are o many driv
ers who will deliberately or carelessly take
th wrong iil of the street that It has
been found neosssary in every large city to
provide a "rule of th road", by law.
It can safely be raid, acordlng to the
men responsible for placing the ordinance
on the books, that this Is the first time
such an ordinance was ever suspended by
resolution, to say nothing of being repealed
In that fashion.
