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. ., ...

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. "Faust" was
given In concert form, with Miss Louise
Ormsby, Miss Esther May Plumb, Mr. John
Miller and Mr.
B. F. Gillespie as soloists.

Corn Troubles Ended
in 48 Hours
A Bluc-jay plaster is applied in a jiffy,
and the pain of the corn ends at once. You
simply forget it. The bit of B & B wax gently
loosens the corn. In two days you lift it out.
No pain, no soreness, no inconvenience.
Compare that with old-time ways. Can you wonder
that Blue-jay is now being used on five million corns
year? Can you wonder that Blue-jay now outsells by
fifty times over any other treatment known? People
who once try Blue-jay simply laugh at corns.
