The Choir opened the second part of j the program with "In tne Silent West." niost artistically and Int.-ll'io-ntly done by 1 r soloists of world fsme by a symphony orchestra that Is a standard for Its class, tind by a choir that Is coming to he know "ms one of the world's greatest. And the "'big audience seemed to enter heartily 'Into the affair, for It redeemed forovcr Omaha assemblages from the accusation often made that they arn cold and un "demonstrative.

The fine voices In this selection were splendidly heard, and trie balance of the choral numbers was thus made perfect. MAMV ATTHJVD TIIK MATINKR Mr. Htork nnil Orchmtrn, with Halo , 1st, rilvr Program. A well-filled auditorium of enthualastlo listeners greeted Mr. Stock and the Chi cago Symphony orchestra at the fore noon concert yesterday, when Ihe or chestra, assisted by Miss Hosulle Wlrth Jln and Mr. Bruno Stelndcl. furnished the program. The opening number, "In Bohemia," by Henry Hodlcy, n native composer, was an overture of more than Msual merit, and proved n. suitable open ing number with Its vigorous theme pre- nnd was presented with all the finish for which the orchestra Is famous. Miss Wlrthlln was the next treat, and a de lightful one. She Is the possessor of a rich contralto voice of beautiful quality and such power as to easily fill the Au ditorium. The writer had not remem bered her excellent work at a May festi val many years ago without cause. Herl delivery of the Samson and Delilah num ber, "Amour, Vlcns Alder," Salnt-Haens, was all that could be desired and the charming Gavotte from "Mignon," by Ambrolse Thomas was Interpreted with truth and freedom. The third number was that marvelous musical monument to Sorrow, that som ber specter that seems to haunt the spirit of the Hurilan nation, and often leans over and guides the hand of her sons when they write. Mr. James Huneker, In speaking of this number says. "Tschol kowskl's music Is like a page torn from 'Kccleslostes,' It Is the cosmos In crepe. The atmosphere of grief immutable, eter nal, hovers ubout It like a huge black winked angel." How n composer can write music that Is at the same time na 'beau tiful and nt the same time so exquisitely sad Is beyond the scope of ordinary mor tals There are many points of Interest about this symphony. Th charming passing back and forth the motives between the string and wood wind choirs was of great beauty, and after the beau tiful clarinet solo In tho first movement, the passing of the solo down through the woodwinds to tho lowest point made most effective closing. Thcro Is a wonderful climax In the recapitulation, and the coda which presented a solemn subject In the brass with a pizzicato string accompaniment was most impres sive. The use of the organ point utul In fact all of the backgrounds added to tho somber effect. The third movement dis played melodious subject matter nnd the development throughout was full of beauties and held tho close atten tion of the audience. Tho morn ful solemnity and tremendous grief of the last movement were overwhelming. Mr. Stock had the privilege of playing twice under Tschalkowskl. His Interpre tation of this masterpiece will long bo remembered. Following this, Mr. Bruno Stelndcl, al ways a popular visitor In Omaha, de lighted the audience with u 'cello solo, a fantaila entitled, "O Cora Memorla," by Servals, a number that combined much beautiful melody work with many brilliant passages which called forth tile soloist's technical skill an well as his deep rich tone. Un responded mott gen erously to three Insistent encores, "My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice," the beauti ful contralto solo from Samson, and Delilah, by Salnt-Saens. Tills and tho succeeding encores, "Oavotte," by Bach, a'nd the Beethoven Minuet In O Minor, were played with harp accompaniment, by Mr. Walfrled Singer. The 'cello and harp made an effective combination, especially In the first number, In which Mr. 81nger did somo brilliant work In his accompaniment work. The Wood land Suite by MacDowell, which closed the afternoon's feast, was Just as charm ing and fascinating as wo had Imagined It would bo from the pen of that giftr.d American composer, whon inspired by suggestions from the forest. In the "Haunted Forest," the ghostllness and mystery of the place was well brought out In the orchestration. In the "Sum mer Idyl" we now and again caught effects of the program. The Sheohei'-l'a Song was rather pastoral and developed In a most Interesting manner. -The For est Spirits." tho closing n',mli"r of this suite, Is written with all the daiutlnewi and grace of this more than grassful writer and also contained much iuvi!y melody. We would not be able to thus hear and enjoy these wonderful compositions were It not for the clear readings and Inter pretations of Mr. Stock und his Justly famous orchestra. They possess tone In abundance of any shade of quality de manded on the Instant and present each number with such, clean-cut attacks and excellence of rendition that each one lives before us with nil Its finest points clearly and carefully portrayed.

They deny that they took any other cars and explained having the stolen ma chine In their possession by tho assertion that It had been found on Thirty-eighth Htrect.
