The 8ucday concert at the Universal
is? church drew the usual crowd. A
number were turned away. The pro
gram was made up, on the whole, of
rather H,ht music Gounod, though
immensely earnest to himself, is seldom
Vj profound. There is always a little eus-
",. picion of gush, of feminine effusiveness.
S The only really weighty number was
the Andante by ltubinston a compo-
' sition of considerable complexity an d
of unmistakable power. Mozart's
Turkish march has been heard and corn
merited on before. So have the Stilles
Glueck and Suesses Errinern. The
quartet seemed to do unusually finished
work.
Miss Florence Worley sang an aria
from Rigoletto. She sang with great
delicacy of expression and' with much
feeling. Her voice, barring a slightly
metallic coldness in the upper notes, is
very smooth and gives an impression of
reserved power.
Mr. August Hugenow played the An
dan teReligioeo from Vieuxtempe' fourth
concerto. It ib not so florid as most of
its composer's work, recalling, even, in
the opening notes, Haendel's well-known
Largo. It was played fitly with very
rich tone. With the exception of the
last note, which mineed perfect smooth
ness, there was little to criticise.
I have heard that "other musicians"

charitable object of accommodating
those that aro turned away from the
Universalist church. I suppose that
this refers to the public that are turned
away, not to unappreciated artists. It
- is to be hoped that this statement of
purpose is sincere. I v always suspect
musicians of jealousies and divisions.
History, both local and general, war

far better, if lack of accomodations is
the real trouble, to try some concerted
measure.
Lincoln is not a metropolis. It is
just as well to recognize that. It has
a few well-trained musicians. It has,
too, a large number of very interesting
amateurs who need to be saved from
their mends. Lincoln has not enough
musicians to give two independent series
of weekly concerts. A weekly concert
in two chuiches.the singers passing
from one to another, would be possible,
perhaps not undesirable. In that
case, there should be combined effort
and sympathy. But to split music into
as many hostile camps as sunder re
ligion would be ridiculous. Besides, the
Universalist concerts are barely sup
ported. Let some of our reformers go
to work to raise subscriptions. Let us
have one course of concerts supported,
not two dragging out a needy exist
ence. There is an excellent opportun
ity for some peacemaker to make him
self blessed.
The Philharmonic orchestra will give
its concert on the 25th, in the Funke
opera house. The orchestra has been
rehearsing faithfully and is sure to
render with serious effort whatever it
presents. Mrs. Lippincott and Mrs.
Herzog will assist. There will also be a
strong vocal quartet. This should be
made the musical event of the winter.
A Schubert concert as given on Mon
day evening at the Lincoln conservatory
of music. Both faculty and pupils took
part. Mr. lladley and Miss Hoover
played a piano arrangement of the An
dante of the celebrated "unfinished sym
phony." Mr. Movius sang the "Erl-
ability of the chief soloists is well
known. It Bhould be noted, by the way,
that this Schubert program is due, not
to a desire to imitate another Schubert
concert, but to the fact that Schubert's
birthday falls in this month. I have
heard, indeed, that this concert was
planned before the other.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
Everyone who has seen the "The
Three Guardsmen" played is aware that
the name is a misnomer inasmuch as it
hardly corresponds with the action.
The title Ehould be changed to "The
One Guardsman," the other two being
pretty thoroughly lost in the back
ground. But when the one musketeer
is Salvini one forgetB the other two and
is glad enough when the one is per
mitted to appear above the troubled
sea of turgid events that follow fast
and follow faster in Dumas' old fascinat
ing plot and counterplot, treachery and
hearts all burned out until they are
little more than pulsating embers. The
management of the Lansing theatre
could offer but few greater inducements
to our playgoers than in announcing
the engagement of Alexander Salvini
in "The Three Guardsmen," on Thurs
day ."February 18, the play with which
series of Sunday n'8 name has been more popularly asso
They avow the ciated than any other. If Salvini has
not obliterated memories of other ro
mantic characterizations, he certainly
has that of the many D'Artagnans that
may be recalled by the theatre goer of
today. In this role he is, in the first
place, thoroughly original, and he has
succeeded in reviving the very atmos
phere of the Richelieu era, which makes
ODe easily forget the impossible nature
of the drama. There is the wily Cardi
