IN RELTED KEYS
i
Herbkkt Bates
There was not much new music at
last Sunday's music nervice. 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:

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.'

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. Hatfield of the Northwestern
vniversiiy says: "THB CHICAGO RECORD
comes as near-being th" ideal daily Jour"
nal as we are for some time likely to find
on these mortal shores."
