THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEE Historial Soctety E X VOLUME 10. NUMBER 105. BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 29, 1912. ST. PAUL MECCA OF MUSIC LOVERS Fall Opera Announcements Tell of Many Prima Donnas Who Have Been Booked. MARY GARDEN AND FREMSTAD Maggie Teyte, Ysaye, Cowles, DeWolf Hopper and Gottfried Galston on Lists, TO REVIVE THE “MIKADO” Gilbert and Sullivan Masterpiece to Be Sung By an All Star Caste In October. By United Press. o St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 29.—St. Paul will be the musical mecca of the Northwest this season. For Mary Garden will be heard in opera in the Twin Cities, Fremstad sings in opera in St. Paul, Maggie Teyte, the English grand opera pri- ma donna; Ysaye, the great violin- ist, and other artists equally renown- ed, have been engaged for concerts to be given in St. Paul. But the musical tastes of the Northwest are broad and varied, so the managers of concerts in the Capi- tol city vary their musical attrac- tions. To the soloists to be presented in recital will be added a series of ten symphony concerts by the St. Paul Symphony Orchestra, and a sea- son of light opera, during which an all-star cast will be heard in a revi- val of Giibert and Swullivan operas. Mrs. F. H. Snyder, the Northwest's famous grand opera impressario, who is this year turning her attention to recitals as well as to opera will open the musical season October 14, when she presents Mme. Olive Fremstad, the Minnesota grand opera prima donna, in recital. Fremstad will sing at the People’s church. The cpera season opens October 41, when Mrs. Snyder presents Gil- bert’s “The Mikado,” at the Shubert theater. Eugene Cowles, DeWolf Hopper and Blanche Duffield will be in the cast. “The Pirates of Pen- zance” will be included in this op- eratic festival. In November, Gottfried Galston, the pianist who is called “Josef Hoff- man’s only rival,” will play at the People’s church and on December 2, George Henschall, the famous singer and composer, will give a recital. The first after-the-holiday concert will be given by Maggie Teyte, whose appearance with the Chicago Grand Opera company last season was the operatic sensation of the year. A program of songs will be given Leon Rains, the basso from the Royal Op- era House, Dresden. Rains is con- sidered one of the most remarkable Lieder interpreters in Europe. Of all these stars none will be more welcome than Mme. Marie Rappold, soprano of the Metropolitan Grand Opera company, and soloist at the Saengerfest held last July in St. Paul. Rappold sings February 27. The final concerts in the People’s church series will be given March 3 by Max Pauer, head of the famous Stuttgart Conservatory of Music. This series of seven recitals begin- ning October 14 and ending March 3, to be given under the direction of Mrs. E. H. Snyder, have been ar- ranged to meet a musical need that neither the St. Paul symphony or- chestra concerts or the grand opera satisfies. The orchestra soloists play hig concertos, or sing great arias, the opera companies interpret grand operas, but these recitals will present programs of songs—songs pure and simple when singers appear, or the sonatas or minor concertos and etudes of the classic and the modern com- posers when the pianists give the programs. Mrs. Snyder’s activities in the in- terests of the musical Northwest will not cease at the close of the concert season. In April she will bring the Chicago Grand Opera company to Minneapolis for a half-week season. The dates are April 20, 21, 22 and 23." The repertoire, which is subject to change, will include Goldmark’s “The Cricket on the Hearth,” with Maggie Teyte as the star; “Lucia de Lammermore” with Tetrazzini in the cast, and “Thais,” or if the public shows a preference for a Wagnerian opera “Die Meistersinger” will be substituted for Massenet’s opera, WILLIAM B.

GENERAL BOOTH BURIED Funeral Services for Late Head of Salvation Army Held Last Night In London, THOUSANDS WERE PRESENT - London, Aug. 29.—Funeral servie- es for the founder of the Salvation Army, Gen. Wm. Booth, were held at the Olympic last night. In accord- ance with the fraditiose of the or- ganfzation, they were without pomp or symbols of mourning, but were carried out with moving fervor and impressiveness. Thirty-four thousand persons par- ticipated in the function. Nearly half of them wore blue coats and red jerseys or bonnets with red ribbons, so familiar on the streets of the cit- ies of the world where the army is established. The body of the late general, in a plain pine coffin, rested high upon the white catafalque in front of the big platform across the end of the hall, where all the chief officers of the organization were seated, and where forty bands of music were massed. The crimson flag of the army of “fire and blood,” which the gemeral un- furled on Mount Calvary, was plant- cd above the coffin. A bank of flow- ers, composed of tributes sent by members of the royalty and many societies, were bchind it. The flags of various nations in which the com- mander had waged campaigns and standards of the older divisions of the army were arrayed in front of the platform. Those, and more Salvation Arimy flags in the galleries, each tipped with white ribbors, and twenty por- iraits of the evangelist surmounted with green laurel wreaths and with broad orange ribbons connecting them, were the only decorative effect. At the close of the services the coffin was placed in a hearse and tak- en to the Salvation Army headquar- ters, where it 1ested until today, ‘when it will be taken to the last rest- ing place in Abny Park cemetery.

The escape was effected, according to information secured in Bismarck, at the close of a baseball game be- tween convicts in the imstitution, such games having been held at reg- ular intervals dering the summer months. The men got over the wall in some manner, and had gotten a fairly good start before the discovery of their departure was made. Guards of the penitentiary and the pack of bloodhounds, headed by War- den Hellstrom, sterted search imme- diately, and have been scouring the country all night for the missing men, but without success., Was in Sawyer Robbery.

COUNTY GETS $340 IN FEES Assistant Secretary of State Esti- mates $3,500 As Sum Paid In at His Office. Judge Stanton will not be the only -|one to oppose Chief Justice Start at the November election according to word which came from Minneapolis last evening that Alexander Stewart had filed for the position. Mr. Stew- art terms himself a “Roosevelt Pro- gressive” and said that he believed the supreme court was in need of a man who would shake it up. In speaking of his candidacy he said he thought the beach was open to re- form. According to the primary law, the three candidates filed as non-parti- san but nothing can prevent them from stating their political prefer- ences. At the primary election on September 17, all three will be voted on and the two receiving the largest number of votes will be placed on the general election ballot in Novem- ber. Judge Stanton’s candidacy appears to be favorably received in all quart- ers of the state. It is pointed out that Justice Start is now seventy-three years old and that he has served for eighteen years. Another term will mean that he will be nearly eighty years old if he lives until his term expires. If not, the position will have to be filled by the governor un- til the next regular election. Judge Stanton is a young man and will be available for many yearsto come. Eleventh hour filings were the gen- eral rule yesterday and at the secre- tary of state’s office it was estimated that $3,500 had been received by the state for filing fees. This does not include the money paid into county treasuries by county candidates which, in Beltrami county only, amounted to $340.
