Fifty member of the musical aeetlon of thla association will visit Omaha next Sun day and Monday, giving two eoncerta at one of the local theaters, under the aus pices of the Omaha Danish organisation. "The Danish Student Singers" la the style of the organisation, which arrived at New York during the week and which was ac corded splendid honors both In the eastern metropolis and at the national capital, where the singers were Introduced at the White House. These singers are on a trip which Is limited to Just five weeks between the time they left Copenhagen on the evnlng of May 4 and the time set for their return to the same city. Three weeks are to be spent In this country, giving concerts and seeing the wonders of these United States In the territory east of Omaha, for the Gate City Is the western turning point for the party. In the larger picture shown with this artiole the singers are photographed In a group In the concert ball In the associa tion's building In Copenhagen. The num bered persons are: 1, Dr. V. Christopher son, president; 2, S. Levyeohn, director; t, Helge Nlssen, royal court and opera singer; 4, A Levlnaen, treasurer; 5, Olaf Holboll, librarian; 6, Theodore Engqvist, secretary; 7, A. Bngberg, vice director. It Is stated by prominent Omaha Danes that any money above expenses of the trip will be devoted to charity, part to be dis tributed among Danish societies In this country! The business men of Copenhagen have provided that any deficit arising on account of the tour will be borne by them, as the members of this association are known in Denmark for their good works and enjoy the highest confidence of the best people of their little nation. - In Denmark a "student" means a person who has qualified for entrance to the University of Copenhagen, such qualifica tion consisting of fourteen years' education, tWo years being a post graduate course in an accredited high school. The ' terra "student" also refers to those who have attended the university. During 1880 some of the alumni of the University of Copenhagen formed the "ktudenterforenlngen," which has grown to such an extent that Its Influence today spreads all over the land where Hans Christian Andersen wrote bis Immsrtai fairy stories. This association is the one great student organisation of Denmark. In brief, the alma of this association la .to give the people at Urge the poorer classes In particular the benefits of their education by assisting them In varlou ways and helping them to help themselves, The legal branch of the association during UO0-1MO gave free legal advice to 28,000 people. The musical branch of the as so-1 elation Is on of the strongest features. I It furnishes concerts at moderate prices and fosters the best there Is In music It endeavors to raise the national taste for music, believing that a community or nation loving muslo Is bound to be a better community or nation In other ways. The concerts given by this musical department are largely attended, even the royal family honoring the singers with their presence and , encouragement. . Just before leaving Copenhagen the company of fifty singers who will be heard In Omaha were given a personal word of cheer and encourage ment by Crown Prince Christian. It might be stated here that these singers do not sing for personal gain, as the proceeds of their concerts are disbursed through the treasury of the association or by charitable or philanthropic organisations. Another feature of this association is a department devoted to learning the trades for persons working In the day and at tending the classes in the evening. There Is a strong feeling In Denmark that every body should know how to do something and do it well, and ample provisions are made to teach trades and ven professions to people who 'are ambitious. "If you will refer to the United States government statistics, you will find that very few of the Danes coming to this country arrive without the knowledge of a trade or profession," is the statement of a prominent Omaha Dane. This association with the long name also revox arranges for an annual fund for the en tertainment of poor children at Christmas; conducts parties through the famous mu seums of Copenhagen; maintains a large students' club house In Copenhagen, where students may fraternise at a nominal ex pense "for upkeep of the place; also foster other features all more or less associated with the moral and educational uplift of the country. An Omaha Dana who to active in the ar rangelhents being made td receive these fifty singers, says on behalf of bis coun try that it is among the nations having the least illiteracy, based, of course, on the population. He further cites that since the "studenterforenlngen" has been In op eration crime and poverty in his country have been materially reduced, notwith standing, be further, maintains, that his country always has stood foremost as a nation with a low per eent of crime and poverty. ' ' "We are exacting In our country," he says, "for Instance, a student Is required to learn seven languages, owing to the smallness of our own country. We stretch out our hand, figuratively, and we must speak to a Swede Frenchman, German, Englishman, and so on. We are all lin guists. There are only 2,500.000 of us, and our state Is about one-fifth the size of Nebraska." All of which gives some Idea of the lden tiflcatton of the party of singers who will honor Omaha with two. of their twenty one days In this country.' For most of the party coming here this will be their first visit to this great country. The personnel of the party embraces business men of Copenhagen,! who are making of this trip a vacation from the cares of business. In the party are doctors, lawyers and other professional men. Mr. Olaf Holboll is to day a prominent architect In Copenhagen. He was graduated from the University of Copenhagen, and has retained his Inter est in the student association's musical branch, Mr. Helge Nlssen of the Danish Royal opera house to the only professional singer In the party. He to with the com. pany as representative of the royal tarn ily's Interest in this association. ., ... Omaha Danes are bestirring themselves I ...

S m N response to several Inquiries and to settle certain doubts the conductor of the Men delssohn Choir hereby intrudes himself as it were on the Musical Critlo of The Bee, and slates that on last Tuesday night when the "HJah" was given at the Auditorium and the oonductor looked round at the audience after the first group of num bers ending with the duet and chorus by Miss Peroeval Allen and Miss Janet Bpenoer, be did not do so with the Inten tion of suggesting that applause would be acceptable. Some of the box holders thought that this was the intention and so did some of the audience. Judging by the "audible" smiles. One friend of the conductor alluded to the episode as a re buke to the audience for not applauding the visiting soloists mentioned. This to a good Joke, and perhaps It Is "on" the conductor. But the actual fact was that the manager of the orchestra, Mr. Wes sels, and the man with the baton, had an understanding that the late comers were to be held back until a certain place In the musical work, when they could be shown to their seats without disturbance. The look backward to the audience meant only "Why don't you come onT' and not "Why don't you applaud T" Mr. Max Landew was playing his great Beethoven Concerto with the orchestra on Tuesday afternoon and on several oc casions ha made that graceful upward sweep of his hand which he often does before descending en a piano key. This was overheard; "My! I would give a dol lar and a half if that man would Just once. Just once, mind you, come down on the wrong key." The muslo critlo of The Bee has suggested to Mr. Landow the-idea that If sufficient dollar-and-a-half sub scribers could be secured on that basis it might be worth his while to play one number at his next .recital and announce n the program that in response to many requests and la consideration of many tickets that In the closing number Mr. Landow will strike B-flat instead of C sharp. ' A very attractive progrsm eomes to band from Grand Island, a progratn of a musical festival given under the direction of the St. Cecilia Society, which was organized In 1S01 and federated In 1804. The club motto Is "Who does not advance goes backward." The officers are Mrs. Charles G. Ryan, president; Mrs. Sprague D. Ross, vice president; Miss Ruth Boyden, secre tary, and Mrs. Walter Btocklnger, treas urer. There was a Children's program Under Miss Harrietts L. Norrls, an artists' recital by the Rically String Quartet, a represen tative's matinee, with the Choral Art Society of Hastings, a Chorus from Central City, the Orpheus club of Hastings college and soloists from various cities.

Mr. Joseph Gahm, for many years a leading musician In Omaha Is In the city owing to Mrs. Gahra's convalescence at a local hospttal. Mr. Gahm has evidently been having success In Colorado as the following Item from the Denver Republican would Indicate: "The recital given at the Woman's club by Joseph Gahm. noted pianist, and John C. Wilcox, equally noted sinner, assisted by C. H. Howe, inner-player, and Mrs. Wilcox, under the aut-plces of the Cable Piano company, attracted a large audience and was thoroughly enjoyable. "The program was attractive. Mr. Wil cox's rich baritone was heard to advan tage. Mr. Gahm In master of his Instru ment and the warm, colorful tones which he brings forth are a dellKht, indeed. He responded to several encores. A very chaste and attractive Invitation was that which was Issued by Mr. Jo F.
