Almost every number has been heard before at one or another of the concerts. Not that this was objectionable, especially as all the numbers could bear repetition. The Allegro from Hayden, op. 76, No. 2 h very bright, with most excellent fooling in pompous profundo by the 'cello. Hay dn's originality is always optimistic. His wit is brilliant, spontaneous, unexpec ted. It has nut, indeed, the humor of Beethoven, but it is no liable like Beethoven's brighter moods, to give way to solemnity or even sorrow. Of the two, Haydn is the less profound. His quiet waters rise to no billows, awe with no immensity. They are merely for the "ripplo to run over in its mirth." And for summer pastime, many prefer such to profounder seas. Either Carl Schu berth is very original, or he wat so for tunate as to come upon most original material. HiB work is decidedly out of the UBual order. Not so much as it would once have been. Music in the key of "ski" has been growing upon us of late. A new composer is either a Sclav or a sham. Accents, which used to march duly in their proper place, now leap out at us from any and every part of the measure, and our- eais are get ting reconciled to strident re joicings in diminished chords. Yet, even in the general dynamophony of things Hungroise and Sclav and Polo naise, and Paderewski Mid Tschaikow Bki, even in this eccentric company Schuberth's work is striking. The Bucharenlied and the Tartarengesang were very different. Whether this is due to the difference between a Lied There seems a slight tendency to too even an intensity, a lack of dynamic outburst. But there are too many players who got outburst and noth ing else. They come down on the strings like a wolf on the fo!. until the poor instrument "outgribes" in agony. I have no doubt that, at his pleasure, Mr. Charles Hageoow can stun as well a soothe, and I would by no means have him join the ranks of those that burst their fiddle-strings with fury. I think, however, that he may well venture upon contrasts some what more striking. The number he played last Sunday had beautiful pas sages, passages doubly beautiful from the fluent sweetness with which they were rendered. The Musical Courier of last week has an article on "The Gentle Art of Musi cal Criticism." It is interesting and animated. The writer of it seemB to have had the common misfortune of criticising people who "talk back." But he, nevertheless, I observe, thinks it best to tell the truth. LINCOLN IN 1878-79 Following are some of the business notices in the Lincoln city directory for 1878-79: T. Ewing Jb Co., line silk hats and caps, No. 5 O street. D. and C.L.Baum, hardware, No. 9 O street. Ed A. Church, dealer in wall paper, window glass, etc., opposite opera house. and Gesang or to the difference be tween a Buchar and a Tartar, I will Tuttle & Doolittle, lumber, shingles, not presume to say. At any rate, the 'aths, etc., Tenth and M Btreets. Bucharenlied rejoiced with about three A. E. Hargreaves, newsdealer book rejoicings to a measure, while the Tar- seller and stationer, O street, between tarengesang was absolutely melancholy. Tenth and Eleventh Btreets. It was touching, too, Btrangely lyric, with a poignant fpathos, and all in a foreign musical idiom, the patois of the steppe. It was a world away from Haydn. In fact, Haydn's aristocratic periwig would never have been safe among the makers of such music. They pointed wit with spears, and ended their song of mourning with a gallop to ven geance, their passions as rebellious to the law of a man as their song' to the laws of music. Frank Schubert's Moment Musicale paced its dainty course, a march of fair ies, Hungarian fairies, vanishing, in fan tastic processional, into some gnome - land vista. Appropriately after it came the Marionette overture, with brilliant ly rhythmic passages that made one feel like rising. like no, the idea would shock the Ministerial association. Mrs. G. W.Noble was the vocal so loist. She sang Gounod's "Light from Heaven!" Her voice is sweet, excellent in material, though by no means trained to perfect flexibility. She sings with good phrasing and expression. The accompaniment by the quartet seemed a little uneven and not always in perfect understanding with the singer. The song is of great possibilities, many of them realized. This is not, I think, the first time that it has been sung at these ser vices. Mr. Charles Hagenow played the Adagio from David's Fourth Concerto. Mr. Hagenow plays too often to get really good notices. One cannot be praised in print every week. All that 18 possible is to repeat what I have said before, that Mr. Hagenow is remark able in tone, in sympathetic interpre tation, in delicate shading. He could, I sometimes think, strengthen his -work in force kof contrast: John Morrison & Co., merchant tail ore. two doors south of First National bank. R. E. Moore, attorney at law.

"The Red Ribbon movement was started in Lincoln in 1877 by John B. Finch. Twenty-five hundred people have signed the pledge in the city and over 47,000 throughout the state, within a period of twelvo months. There was a Red Ribbon club organized at the close of Mr. Finch's lectures, in November, 1877, with presi dent, vice-president, secretary, treasurer and executive committee, the officers to be elected every three months. The club has ac complished wonders, and scores of men who were Iost.to society and their fam ilies have joined this club and today are an honor to the community. The Red Ribbon clubs throughout the state met in mass convention to devise a plan to'further the cause of temperance, at Lincoln, on the 15th of May, 1878, hun dreds of delegates being present. Geo. B. Skinner was elected president, and L. W. Billingsley, vice-president. The society is a permanent one, and is com posed of the better elements of society.' DOCTOR.

HID BY APPOINTMENT Nothing in This World Is so cheap as a newspaper, wheih:r it be measured by the cost of its production or by it: value to the consumer. We are t Iking about .an American, metrowlitan, daily paper of the Urst class like THE CHICAGO RECORD. Its so cheap and so good you can t afford in this day of progress to be without it. There are other papers possibly as good, but none better, and none just like it. It prints all the rez news of fo; world -ike news you care for- every dcy, zzd pr'nts it in the shortest possible space. You can read THE CHICAGO RECORD and do a day's work too. It is an independent paper and gives all political news free from the taint of party bias. In a word -it's a compls'e, condensed, dean, honest family newspaper, and it has the argest morning circulation in Chicago or the .vest 140,000 to 150,000 a day. vrof T. J.
