ttMUSIC
By HENRIETTA M. REES.
ATTERS of musical interest
ire becoming more in
volved as the month of Oc
tober wears on, and the
people, both individually
and in general, are again
' turning their attention to
serioua pursuits. The musical ball,
which has just started rolling, will be
given a most vigorous push on its
way tnis week oy the opening num
ber of the Omaha Retailers' Course.
which will present the Ellis Opera
company Monday antt luesaay eve
nings in two of the best-known and
most-loved of all the operas, and with
the most .illustrious cast heard in
Omaha for many a long day.
All of the mostj celebrated gypsies
of the operatic world will come to
town with "Carmen" and "II Trova
tore," but it ,is not because of the
gypsies that these operas wander rfll
over the world and to all different
countries, and make such excellent
repertoire numbers for' a traveling
company. It is rather because the
music is melodious, original and
sprightly, full of color and life, highly
dramatic, and suited to the action
and character of the story it is
.intended to intensify and portray.
Thy is a certain assurance in hear
ing operas which have held their
own in undimmed favor for a perfect
ly safe number 6f years, not always
to be felt when one approaches nov
elties. So much has already appeared in
the papers about the cast that the
general public should by this time be
well informed concerning each mem
ber of it. Suffice it to say that each
artist is known internationally, for
his or her remarkable operatic inter
pretations, and the operas chosen will
give them ample opportunity to ex
hibit them.
By the way, we mustn't forget that
the orchestral overture to an opera
is part of what we are paying to hear,
so it is up to us to be on time and
to listen to it
I am the god Fortissimo, I am the
Music God, I am the Thunderer. Here
in my toneland, my fortress and fast
ness reign I supreme. Here amid
mediocrities rule I the music world.
This is my hammer, Big' Noise, the
Miehtv.iiianists and vocalists can not
withstand it. These are my strained
vocal chords, wherewith I wield it and
hurl it afar off. This is my loud pedal
on the piabo, whenever I brace it
strength is redoubled. The sound that
mospnere in struggles oi anguisn, is
but my sweet voice raised by some
vaudeville artist, affrighting the aud
ience. Unguided enthusiasm is my
brother. Mine eyes are the, staccato
notes. The wheels of my chariot
roll in the loud runs; the blows of my
hammer ring in the chords of the
banging pianists. Force rules in music
still, has ruled it, will rule it. funis-
simo isf weakness. Strength is tri
umphant over the music world. Still
t is the day of Fortissimo. Thou art
a god, foo.roh Artqf Expression, and

Musical America appears this: week
in a beautiful' 200-page special fall
issue, which 'evetu eclipses former
triumphs in this -line. Ihere are in
numerable;' interesting illustrations,
letters with musical news from every
where, and a great deal of vital
editorial reading matter. The prin
cipal outstanding facts to be gathered
from its perusal are that the business
men all through the country, either
in rittle groups or through their busi
ness organizations, are taking a much
greater interest in musical lite and
activities; that there has been a rapid
spread of music in the public schools
as a part ot the educational 'system.
and an even greater growth of' the.
communitv music idea, and civic music
for the benefit and betterment of the
entire, population.
these things are going on all about
s In a ftitv here a local orchestra
is being formed, in a city there new
choral societies are springing up. Los
Angeles has orchestras in its public
schools, so do many other cities.
Community choruses are held with
schools as community centers, and
civic music leagues are active in cities
in all parts of the country. Balti
more's city government directs the
affairs of its smyphony orchestra and
choral society. Schools and colleges
are turning their attention to music,
and adding it to their curriculums.
They are also managing concerts by
visiting artists to a greater degree
than heretofore. In all of this activ
ity Omaha is bound to have a share,
and apart from the promise of eten
more visiting musical affairs of the
greatest magnitude than ever before,
a greater interest in local musical life
will surely awaken and help make
music that which it naturally should
be and is a part of the life of the
people.
The Musical Courier, beginning
with October 12, "will hereafter in
clude, once, a month, in its regular is
sue, a supplement -of eight pages or
more, devoted especially to musical
subjects of an educational nature, in
'.iJuding practical and esthetic features,
and also the presentation of -several
pieces of music, bound together with
the other material." This is most wel
come and adds another interesting
feature to an always interesting jour
nal. The first number includes "The
Universial Appeal of Music," by
Edgar Stillman Kelly; "What's a Girl

ing articles by Clarence Lucas, John
Westmeath, Annie Shaw Faulkner,
Yvonne de Treville, Giulia Valda and
others. The article by Helen Uo)l is
an account of the experiences of a
young vocal student, which have been
duplicated in thousands of other
cases, and which should be read by
every earnest vocal student. For
years she studied with various teach
ers reputed to be good, and did not
learn anything about voice placement,
for the simple reason none of these
teachers understood or knew anything
about it themselves. Her voice did
not grow under their training, and the
only thing for which she could thank
them was that they had not spoiled it.
She finally found a real teacher, one
who did not promise her everything
and give her nothing, and at last
learned snmethinir about sinfirincr. All
of the articles in this supplement are'
excellent and well worth the reading,
and the first number augurs well for
those to follow. ' - i
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas J. Kelly of
Omaha and Chicago have been in
Omaha during the last week. Mr.
Kelly is full of enthusiasm for the
work of the Civic Music league, and
what it is doing for Chicago. He has
been the director of music at the Mu
nicipal pier, and has had remarkable
success in the work. They were re
cently heard upon the first of the three
faculty recitals of the Chicago Insti
tute of Music, winning deserved
praise from both press and public.
They have also appeared recently in
a program before the New Thought
convention. Following are a few ex
tracts from the press notices re
ceived; ,
"The first of a series of three fa
culty recitals under the auspices of
the Chicago Institute of Music took
place last night in the rine Arts Re
cital hall. The artists presented were
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas J. Kelly, tenor
and soprano, and Ernest Toy, violin
ist. Toy played the Bach-Wilhelmj
Air on the b string and the lartini
Kreisler theme and variations with
breadth, good tone, and artistic in
sight. Mr. and Mrs. Kelly have evi
dently followed tne same ideals in the
art of singing, since they displayed
very much the same virtues; namely
a good tone well produced and an ex
cellent enunciation of the English lan
guage. The old English songs, of
which each one sang a specimen, were
particularly agreeable for this reason."
Edward C. Moore, in the Chicago
Journal, October 5.
"Thomas J. Kelly, the well known
vocal teacher, who has endeared him
self to many as the director of the
community chorus at the Municipal
pier, sang three number in excellent
style. Mrs. Kelly's comprised Hugo
Wolf's 'Der Gaertner,' an old English
song, and John Alden Carpenter's
'When I Bring You Colbred Toys.'
This artist couple amply demonstrated
their ,sqlid .'savoir' and the genuine-
DRINK WATER TO
AVOID SICKNESS:
SAYS AUTHORITY
Glass of Hot water before Break
fast daily keeps the doc-
' tor away1. ,'
. Sanitary science 'has of late made
rapid strides with results that are of
untold blessing to humanity. The
latest application of its untiring re
search is the recommendation that it
is fts necessary to attend to internal
sanitation of the drainage system of
the human body as it is to the drains
of the house.
Those of us who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise,
splitting headache, stuffy from a cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom
ach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a
daisy by opening the' sluices of the
system ach morning and flushing out
the whole of the internal poisonous
stagnant matter. v
Everyone, whether ailinff. sick or
well, should, each morning before
breakfast, drink a glassof real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver and bowels the previ
ous day's indigestible waste, sour bile
and poisonous toxins, thus cleansing
sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach. The action of
not water and limestone phosphate
on an empty stqmach is wonderfully
invigorating. It cleans out all the
sour fermentations, gases, waste and
acidity and gives one a splendid ap
petite for breakfast. While you are
enjoying your breakfast the phospha
ted hot water is quietly extracting a
large volume of water from the blood
and getting ready for a thorough
flushing of all the inside organs.
The millions of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble, rheumatic
stiffness; others who have sallow
skins, blood disorders and sickly com
plexions, are urged to get a quarter
pound of Iimcstonephosphate from
the drug store. This will cost very
little, but is sufficient to make anvone
a pronounced crank on the subject of
internal sanitation. Advertisement.
