This Omaha Institution, supported by Omaha people and backed by prominent men of the business and professional world assumes a herculean task each year in working up a subscription sale large enough to insuie the financial en'd of an enterprise which includes the bring ing here of one of the best orchestras in the country, the Chicago Symphony or chestra, founded by Theodore Thomas and conducted by Frederick Stock. This orchestra Is so well known that It would seem to need no eulogy, and yet Omaha people are not completely aware of the standing ot that organization in the minds of the critics of the great metro politan papers and in the managerial offices of this country. It Is no dispar agement of any other orchestras to say that the Chicago Symphony orchestra has probably no equal In this country, with the possible exception of the Boa- ton Symphony orchestra, In the field of symphony orchestras. The Chicago Symphony orchestra, is the one chosen by the Mendelssohn Choir of Omaha for its concerts because it is the beat obtainable; this orchestra plays for several of the greatest eastern festivals. including the famous Toronto series of the Mendelssohn choir of that city. The soloists who will come with the orchestra aro the very best and their work is known nationally. Miss Inez Barbour Is one ot the most prominent sopranos before the publlo today and hai delighted .the audiences at the leading festivals. Miss Margaret Keyes, who will do the contralto wprk of the Omaha season, has been identified with the Chi cago-Philadelphia opera and has sung a great deal with them; her work is char acterized by superb artistry in the opinion of the ones who write musical criticisms. The choir will sing this year a good amount of unaccompanied choral musio and will be" supported by the orchestra In soveral numbers: those In which the orchestra will be used will be the chorus 'Behold God the Lord Passed By" and the beautiful eight-part number "Holy, Holy, Holy," which Is usually cut in the performance of the "Elijah from which It is taken, but which is so impressive as done In the British festivals that In England when tho chorus Is sung the audience rises, as for the famous "Hallelujah" chorus by Handel. This chorus of Mendelssohn Is one that should be well known and the Mendlessohn choir Is doing a good thing In presenting It with the orchestra; another number from the same work and one nearly always omitted Is the double quartet known as the "Angel's Chorus" sung originally by a quartet of men's voices and a quartet of women's voices; this will be ,aung by the entire choir divided Into eight parts and accompanied by the orchestra. The choral ballad "Joshua" which closes thi choir's work at the festival is by iModest 'Moussorgsky, the brilliant Rus sian composer whose work laid In ob scurity until after his death and whose narne was on the tongue of all the musi cal world last year In Europe and America. This Is a hymn of praise to the famous leader Joshua and is founded on an ancient Hebrew themes the com bination of the ancient melody and the brilliant modern treatment of It which one would naturally expect from the Rus sian school can easily be imagined to be highly attractive. The rcsurroctlon of an old German minnelted "Von Edler Art" set to a beautiful English translation and ar ranged for choral singing by no less a master than Johannes Brahms is another offering which the Mendelssohn choir will make and, which It is thought, will be (.well approved. The old "Cruclflxus etiam pro nobis" by Antonio Lottl Is another number which Omaha people will hear for the first time; It Is In sharp contrast to the modern Russian and the chances are that It will be very impressive as well as Instructive as an example of the older school of writing. An item which will" be ot Interest to the Tuesday Morning Musical club, tho music department of' the Woman's club, the Clef club, and the other musical organiza tions of amateurs, professionals or music lovers is in connection with the Brahms Symphony which will be played at the afternoon concert; this symphony Is one which has made audiences go Into the most extravagant expressions of praise and which has brought great renown to the famous Johannes Brahms over whom critics have wrangled and argued, and whose fame Is now assured; some going so, far as to call Brahms one of the three Bs, the other two being Bach and Beethoven; while ho whs alive he was pitted against Wagner as the great must clan of the- day by the pronounced antl Wagnerltc, Hansllck, the, witty Viennese critic of that time The Item referred to Is, that in preparing U-o programs which will be distributed free tY charge and which will contain full Mid complete notes ot all the music, nnd the words sung by tho soloists, the conductor has been ! able to secure, and to use musical cuts, or plates, which will present enough of j the music of tho principal themes being worked out by the orchestra, so that stu dents and muslc-lovri" tan easily follow the symphony with IntelllKcm c. Another fine feature of thin afternoon program will be tho playing of tho con-cert-melste r, Harry Welshbnch. who had the distinction of being at one time a special pupil of Ysayc, and whoso work Is known to some lovers of the violin in Omaha to such nn extent lhat requests were mada that he be heard In solo work. He will play three movements- ot the beautiful Spanish Symphony of Lalo. Some friends of Henri Scott disliked the selection that he made in presenting himself 'for tho first time to an Omaha audience last season, and the criticism was a Just one, because he sang what Is known as the "Catalogue" aria of Don Juan of his many 'lady friends" of whose hearts he had made conquest and as Mr. Scott had not sent any word for the program, of course, the songs fell flat to many who wondered what he was laugh ing about This year he sings that wonderful music the "Absohled" of Wotan, the god who kisses his beloved daughter to sleep; the program will have a translation In the alliterative Wagner ian style, and he can be followed with understanding, while his noble voice will have something worthy of it. The Mendelssohn Choir has this' year arranged to have a number of cheaper seats in order to make the concerts a popular affair and to enable students to attend all the concert for practically the price of one. Last year the cheapest seat for a single concert was fl.CO; this year a season ticket can be purchased for i2. In order to offset this the man agement decided to charge 11 for the first dozen rows downstairs and for the first two rows upstairs. In order to ac commodate those who desire these par ticular seats, and so far there haj been no complaint, the people getting the seats which they most desired, being perfectly willing to pay a little extra In- order to let others have the cheap rate of J2 for the season, and it is believed that this Is the cheapest festival In the country, compared with what is given. Single seats can also be had for each performance. Girls tor Home Rather Than Public Life,-' Mrs. C. R. Cameron leading tho discus sion.

Holovtchiner of tho Board of Education, branding the misrepresentation published by a local evening reform paper, which circulated the report that Dr. Holovtchiner wus leading a faction of tho school board In an attempt to thwart the desires of a majority, who want a woman as second vice principal of the Central High school. Do. Holovtchiner says he is taking no part In the election of head officials for the Central High school and continues. "I have no objection to a woman as second vice principal of the high school.

MORE ANIMALSJOR SAMSON Second Consignment of Faithful Beasts Journey to Sen. TRAVEL IN A FORTIFIED COOP Specimens for Ak-Snr-Ilen Arc Kept Safely In Heavy Enclosure to Preclude Premature' Pre ordination. Everett Buckingham's second ship ment of live stock to the Ak-Sar-Ben den for initiation purposes this summor passed through the congested streets of Qulvera yesterday. Samson'u hired hand sent his first load, one husky goat of the brand which do the most damage, through the city one week ago at the noon hour. However, he was tardy. It was seven minutes past the noon hour before the live stock put in appearance. In the meantime Dad Weaver was at Sixteenth and Famam streets anxiously surveying the scenery In efforts to find the where abouts ot the delayed shipment Dad was ivery much put out at Buckingham's laziness and promises that he will rep rimand the laborer severely and probably ! will dock him a day's wages. The second shipment of live stock was one bull. Mr. Bull Is of very large pro portions and flames spurt from his war like eyes at all times. According to best advices he Is lately from Mexico, where he was engaged In the Joyful pastime, of crippling matadors and toreadors. Upon learning this Buckingham promptly em ployed the bull to perform at the den. -Tho bull was ponned UP In a doubly fortified coop on top of ono ot Bucking ham's' wagons In order to, prevent any anticipated activities during the Journey to the den. Unlike the goat the bull was very pacific and did not attempt to frighten those who looked upon him as he passed. Instead he oarefully scanned the watching faces with glowering looks and It could be seen that ho was setting down In his mind those who grinned at him so that he could seeure his revenge when the day came that he was not hampered by a prison cell.
