ONAHA HAS PATTIS FAVOR A Fair Thespian Fever at the Omaha Athletic Olub, MELANGE OF LOCAL MUSICAL MATTERS | Nym Crinkle Gives a Hefght Glimpse Into fe of # Noted Dramatic Edl pming Attractions—Gos- sip of the Stage, the Omaha is now assured of an opportonity for hearing Madame Adelina her present American tour, and it {s particu larly tiattering to local pride that this en- gagement was mado Dby the diroction of 1a diva without regard to such considerations as guarantees. The people of Omaha surely have reason above all others for adoring this famous singer, who thus evinces such a high regard for their city and their pleasure. Madame Patti and her associates will ap- pear in operatic concert at the Coliseum on Saturday evi February 20, The diva admits with charming grace snd frankness that sho has been singing for forty years,and her career i« one of the marvels of the age. She remains matchless in her exaited sphero Her oxquisite vocalism, as though a special -~ giftof the Divinity, transcends that of all others on earth, and the multitudes gather as of yore to pay homage ut her shrine. Madamo Patti will be assisted by Madame Fabri, ‘Ivrlmn donna contraito, M. Guilic, tenor, Siguor Del Puente, baritone, Signor Novaro, basso, and an orchestra unaer Sig. nor Arditl. ‘These are all famous urtists,and besides their solo parts they will assist the divain giving an act or two from one of the grand operas, »"e Among the members of the ‘“Superba’ company, who were here last weok, was one who is possessed of varied accomplishments, and some of the memburs of the Omaha Atu- letic club now have reason for a special in terest in her future carcer. Reforence is hud to Miss Mildred Holland, who had the role of Wallalia, the wicked queen, in the great Hanlon spectacle. Miss Holland 18 an expert fencer and swordswoman; indeed, she /is one of the finest in America, and a fecent magazine articlo mentioned her by name as one worthy of distinction. At the club house Tuaesdoy afternoon she gave an informal exhibition of her art in a bout with Prof. Huegel, the fencing master, and quite & numbor of club members were favored with a view. Miss Hollaud also took up the foils with two of Omnna's best amateurs, gentlemen well known in business and professional circies, and they found her an antagonist worthy their steel. "U'he lady bad no fencing costume and had to appear in ordinary street attire, using her left hand to keep her drapories from tripping her. As she had no plastron to protect her person the gentlemen did not attempt an at- tack, but gave their whole attention to de- fending thomselves. Even under these eir- cumstances, heavily handicapped as she was, Miss Hollaud easily broke through their de- fense and scored point after point, compell- ini opponeuts and spectators to acknowledge nher skill with hearty plaudits. This was not a compliment to her sex, because her remark- able ability was clearly demonstrated. Miss Holland's method differs somewhat from that taught by Prof. Huegel, and they compared the two with the evident satsfac- tion tnst enthusiasts ever dispiay in the dis- “cussion of a common hobby. The fair fencer affected no airs, and showed by her manner Bow this graceful exercise, rather rare among women, might be enjoyed without a suggestion of impropriety or objectionable anconventionality. She hus a number of friends in Omaha, who know her to vea modest, educated and altogether charming young woman with none of the forwardness or affectation which some thoughtless people charge to the profession. In speaking of her accomplishment Miss Holland said : “Itook up fencing us a part of my traming for the stage, and became so fascinated with it that T continued to practice it asa pastime. My instructor was Colonel Monsterey, now of Chicago, who is recognized as one of the best living exponents of the art. I did not take up fencing with any intention of giving exhibitions on the stage. The object was ph‘yllcnl training. This pretty art is not oniy a fine exercise, but it gives sup pieness of body, grace of movement and sureness of footing. During our Chicago engagement, however, arrange- ments were made for 4 bout at each matinee between Colonel Monsterey and myself. We used broadswords, for a foil contest, does not show to advantage on the stage. The public like noise aud flashing weapons, and broad- swords are much tha better for theatrical effect. These contests seemed to please tho audiences greatly and excited general c.mu- ment. “Iam glad to hear that fencing is becom- ing popular among Omaha young men, and 1 should advise the young tadies to take it up as a most healthful and graceful accomplish- ment. Iam not able to practice much while traveling, but the next time I come to Omaha 1 shall have my fencing costume with me, Your athletic clubis admirably 2quipped and besulifully housed, and I shail always remember the kiud courtesies of its members. '’ Miss Holland's fencing costume looks like a yachting sult with the skirt shortenea two or threo inches to afford the feet free movo- ment, but she also wears knee trousers as if for a riding habit. Miss Holland not only has youth, beau‘y and a finely rounded figure, but she is the icture of bhealth und has astrength and agil- ty that are rare in bersex. She is 5 1eet and 3 inches in height. Her other measure- ments are: Throat, 121 inches; upper arm, tenso, 11§ inches; forearm, tense, 9!, inches; waist, over clothing, 24 Inches; 'hips, over elothing, 86 iuches: ankle, 9 inches; calf of \eg, 14!¢ inches; sizo of glove, 6; size of shoe, 5. Miss Holland has won the admiration of a number of the athletic club gentlemen, and a visitor's card will always bo at her servicee when she visits Omaba. Apropos of her re- warks, several young ladies of this city are now taking fencing lessons, s In a letter to Tur Be: €. Wheeler) writes in tillans style of Leander Richardson, Enb ishes the New York Dramatic News and as just established its mate in Chicago. The critic says, amoug many other good things: “I saw bim the other night in the cafe at Delmonico's, and couldn't help remarking that he was the centre of a constantly shift- iug group of town notabilities, He hold, - deed, a sort of levee at a coruer table, and every man of affairs that came in went over and paid his respects to him. Ordinary, the editor of a dramatic paper may be said to bedge himself in what is known as the *'profesh’’ and the idle parasites who bang o its skirts, But Mr. Richardson appears 10 be equally well known to the Wall streot men, the social magnates, the sports, the artists and the swells, and o«&mlly at home with all of them. Whether this is owing to o romarkable versatility ana adaptability of character or to a distinctly pronounced in- dividuality it 1s hard tosay. ~ Mr. Richardson bias done a surprising lot of things, and done them all well, and he must havea wide range of experience. A man who can put on the gloves, write & couple of successful sovels, odit a paper, maninulate stock, deliver alecture and order aswell dinneris nof perhaps, a specialist in the worst sense o that word. But, while a wide rango of ac- mglhhlu.nll may wake a popular man,they can hardly maxe (ncliued to think bis present position to sterling qualities of sharacter rather than to versaulity of ac- somplishments. “His sanctum has become the court of first resort for the most attractive, the most volu- ble, the most unfortunate of the great army of professionals, aud I bave been amazod ut the amount of time and tha amount of good, uard senso whicn he affably imparts to these children of the glittering hour. When he geus time to edit his paper I cannot imagin anless, like less versatile men, he louves it all till an hour before goiug to press, and then locks his door and dashes it lrl oft.” Nym Crinkle (A. OMAHA MUSICAL MATTER. Y.43less than six years sincoe the first «raud musical fesuval was given in Omaba, ana that was the dawn of & uew era in the musical advancement of O & Sioce then the light has veen growing stronger, and the lovers of music are the prospects of a sooutide. The secret of the success which attended that !’ml festival may be found in the word “‘upity.” Every musician of high aud low pretension alike jolued beartily Patti duriog | h‘.pmg- veing Mr, C.'D. Dorwmau, the the work. To the musicians of today comes the message, ‘G0 ye and do likewise. Thero is an opening for mnother rich treat, and Omaha deserves one.” Amongst those who have borne the burden and heat of the day must be mentioned Mrs. J. W. Cotton, Mr. Wilkins and Mr. Pennell, 10 whose untiring efforts and porseverance wo are indehted 70? much of the musical at- mosphere we have. The Apollo eclnb, of which Mr. Pennell is president, also deserves special mention. Today it can boast of being the possessor of oneof the leading directors in America, Mr. L. A, Torrens, a gentleman who, in addi- tion to his groat gifts of genius and talent, has had long years of experience in choral work and 1n the trying, difficult and still sublime work of orchestration. In the year that ho has been here he has given the “Bride of Duankerron,” “Joan of Are,” *“I'he Crusuders,” and Spohr's difficult and Ueautiful oratorio, “The Last Judg- ment.”” In connection 'with the last nhmed piece, the citizens of Omaba had the pleasure of hearing for the first time a well organized and finished orchestra supporting the Apollo club, now a strong mixed chorus, with the prospect of being the finest musical organiza- tion in the west, Mr. Torrans has also established a school of musie, which is daily growing stronger and which boasts of a fine staff of teachers and equipment. This school is supported by the patronage of Hon. G. W. Lininger, Rav. Joseph T. Duryea, Messrs, W, L. MdCague and Thomas J. Pennell, and an excellent fac- vlty, comprising such well known _teachers as Martin Cabn (piano), Will T. Taber, W. S. Marshall and J. E. Butler (organ), and Hans Albert (violin). Mr. Torrens person- lly attends to the vocal aepartment. He is assisted largely by Mrs. Torrens, studied under some of the best masters in the east. She has a delightfully sweet and telling voico, aud as & teacher is unusually suocessful. There is also a conservatory of music man- aged by Messrs. Cummings & Jones, which is also well equipped and includes in its fac- ulty Prof. Baetens, whose orchestral powers have won for him a wide reputation. The increase n the population of the city bas, of course, occasioned & corresponding it crease in the number of churches, and within the past two years four new pipe organs have been erected. Two Roosevelts, one 1n Trin- ity eathedral one in the St. Mary's ave- nue Congregational church; a Wirsching at tne church of Saint Matthias (Episcopal) and a IIIuI.chlngl at the First Methodist Episco- al. Trinity Cathedral is said to have the best Episcopal church choir west of the Missouri river, It is under the direction of Mrs. J. W, Cotton and is undoubtedly a strong organiz tion. The chorus is unusually fiine. Mr. J. E. Butler at the orgau is all that could be de- sired and has occupied his present position for a long time with over- increasing satisfuction, Supported by such vocalists as Mrs, Cotton, Mrs, Moeller, Mr. Wilkins and Mr. Jules Lombard, this bids fair to take a prominent place among the choirs of the country. One foature of this particuiar soclety is the chorus of ladies’ voices, about twenty in number, which mingles with the childish trevole of the white robed boy choristers and gives a delightful and soothing effect. At All Saints® church under Mr. Peunell's directorship a very good musical service can be heard. This choir of boys and men is un- usually advanced and the works which thev undertake for special seusons are pieces of great dificulty indeed. Mr. Pennell never caters to the popular taste but tries io keep his choir and congregation up to tue highest class of music. He is assisted by two ladies only, Mrs. Marshall and Miss Daisy Higgins, contrallos, and has a very promising an musicianly organist, Mr. W. L.Marshall, There is also at present a number of fine quartette choirs ia our midst and it may not be amiss to mention a few of their leading soloists. High up among the sopranos we notice thesweet, pleasing voice of Mrs. Sund- erland (nee Boulter), the stronger and fuller tones of Miss Clara Clarkson, vhe declamando oratorio poweas of Miss Arnold of St. Philo- mena'y cathedral and the bird-like quality of Mrs. Mortin Cahn’s voice. Grouped amid tho altos are the full, melodious and expres- sive vowe of Miss M. Elizabeth Amsden, who has just completed an_extensive course of study in New York and whose singing shows the effect of hard work. Miss Ogden, with a voice of glorious quality and copass appeals 10 listeners very warmly and shows vromise of success when thoroughly culti- vated. Miss Bishop reveals also a vocalist for whoso luvely voive further cultivation will do a zood déal, as her improvement has been very marked. Mrs. Lay has been well known here und has already scored a suc- cess, Among the tenors are Mr. Charles McDowell with 8 pure English tenor voice capable of much development, sweet, and pleasing and of which great things can be predicted; Mr. I. M. Treyuor, an old favor- ite and a warm friend of the art; Dr. Eddy, who has a very fair .quality of tone, and Lieutenant Kinzie with has phenomenal compass. His voice is ex- ceptionally tine and is well suited for heavy opera or oratorio. In the multitude of bassos are Mr. L., B. Copeland’s beautiful voice, a rull baritone or basso cartarte over which he has perfect control. He has studied a groat deal in the east and is largely helped in his singing by the background of an active brain soessential to the true vocalist. Mr. W, A, Derrick, & young basso profundo, is already quite popuiar. Mr. Will MacCune possesses & very promising heavy voice-baritone-with bass-quality. Omaha has no less than five organized orchestras: Professor Baetens'. the Apoilo club, Boyd theater, Musical Union and last, but by no meaus last the Albert Philhar’ monic. Herr Hans Albert, who gives it its name, is a born genius. His soulful playing is acknowledged on all sides and he proposes todo some good works with orchestra in truly artistic style. He has with im Horr Joseph Gohn, a former fellow student and a brilliant pianist, who has already made quite a roputation. Among the piana teachers in the city are such artists as Martin Cahn, wiose delicacy and brilliancy combiued bave placed him in o position of emnence; Mme, Muentefering, who is well known to Omaha s a pianistand musician of note; Miss Bella Robinson, who must be mentioned, although she lives in the sister city, Council' Bluffs, & brilliant, soulful and poetic artiste, whose instrumentation clearly displays the true musicianly element in her nature. It is indeed gratifying to hear of musicales every week, even if obliged to decline invita- tions owing to their frequency. Where formerly there was a dearth there is now an abundance, and Omaha is today surrounded by a delightful musical atmosphere, Let the fair ladies of society take the matter up warmly, give it thewr thought and interest, and encourage it by orivete musicales, Let the artists put uside minor jealousies and unite in golden, glorious harmony, so that the effete east may come to acknowledge that this western country is not ail a wilderness, but that thero is one sweet oasis where art is appreciated and nurtured by a united effort of ner faithful devotees, ‘Phe approaching concert of the Apollo club makes this time “opportune to say a fow words about this organization, which has for its object the develonment of the musical interests of this city. This club is the legit- imate successor of 8 number of organizations which have existed at various times in the city, and some of the members of the present society have been counected with all or uearly all of the societies at one time or there existea the a male organization conducted by Mr. Felix Blandenfeld, then as now a prom- inent piano teacher here. Then came the origin Philbarmonie society, & mixed chorus; next the Harmonic society, also a mixed chorus, conducted by that excellent musician, Mr. George F. Moyer, who was for a long time connected with the Union Pacific ruilway, and for a number of years organist of Trinity cathedral; after that the Gartield and Arthur Glee club, which after the political campaign of 1552 was rechris- tened the Omaha Glee club. Who can forget the boys of the old Glee clubt Fravklin 8. Smith, now of Chicago; J. L. Smith, lately deceased; J. Wesloy Wil- kins, Revel France, A. D. Morris, H. D, Estabrook. Jay Nortbrup, C. E. Burmester, W. B. Wilkins, T. J. Peunell aud many others made up the personel. After a few succossful years that organ- ization ,f"' up the fight and retired from the field. The Harmonic society chorus formea the nucievs for the first Theodore ‘Thowmas festival ever given here. The prime movers in the affair were Mr. D, Blakeley and Me. C. D. Dormau. They also managed 10 keep up the organization after the Thomas festival under the name of the Philharmonic society and to give a series of concerts dur- ing the next season. After Lwo concerts had boen given, however, the plau was abandonod ou account of lack of patronage, und an at- tempt whoich promised much fell to tne ground, Tho Apollo club was orgasized in the spring of 1557 as & male chorus, the loadiug tirst THE OMAHA president: Mr. Nat M. Brigham, Mr. Brag- glotti, Mr. Wilbur, Mr. Welch, Mr. Wilkin, Mr. France, Mr. Pennell and others. Mr. B. B, Young was induced to come to Omaba from New York to accept the direc torship of the new orgauization, ana for three seasons continued in that capacity, making many warm friends during his resi dence here. With the fourth season of the club a change was made, the organization being ctangod from a male chorus to a mixed chorus, it being thought that a wider field in the world of musie could be occupied by such an organs 1zation. After the removal of Mr. Young's family to Chicago in 1S90, the club fortunately were able to secure the services of Mr. L. A. Tor- rans as conductor, and his work during the last two seasons has amply demonstrated his eminent fitness for the position. The club now seems to have gotten fairly started in a successful career. It has been very hard work, and at times discouraging. Thé financial support has never been ade- quate, and the organization has been kept ta- gether at the cost of much labor and sacrifice on the part of its members, The necessity of such an organization as this in Omaha is great, and the good which can be accomplished by it canuot be esti- mated. 1f liboraliy supported the musical sentiment of Omaba will be gnlarged and stimulated, local talent among our singers will be encouraged, a permatent orchestra will be organized, which is now a necessity, and the cause of music in its highest and best forms will be placed uppermost in the hearts of the people. It the Apollo club can be the means of stimulating and creating an enthusiastic musical sentiment in Omaha it wiil doa good service and its members will feel that their labors have been truly rewarded. Mr. Martin Cahn is doing fine work in in- strumentation. As u teacher of techuique he 1s excellont, and his fine musical tempere- ment must necessarily influence his puplls. He provoses giving a'private pupils’ musicale in the near future, and judging from some of the selections to be performed he must have a decidedly interesting program. Most encouraging reports come to us from ail sides about the phenomenal success of Miss Bertha Bayliss, who recently went to New York to complete her stuaies. She is certainly the possessor of a glorious voice, and her teacher prophesies a brilliant future for her. The Trinity Cathedral choir has nlmnd\y begun to practice Easter music. Mrs. J. W. Cotton is well supported ia hor arduous work of directing by her sunplementary chorus of young ladies, most of whom are her own pupils, and who in this way obtain a good knowledee of choral works. It has always been a primo object with Mrs, Cotton to have nothing produced In public until 1t has been perfect at rehcarsal. This is a very good maxim and it is to be hoped that all our vity choirs have adopted it. Mr. Charles McDowell, socretary cf the Omaha Operatic socicty, reports a very fa- vorable outlook for the season. The first pro- duction is to be “Maritana,” a gem of Eng- lish opera, by Willam Vincent Wallace. It is in Emma Juch’s extensive repertoire but has never been played here. Sevoral ama- teur societies in Great Britain and ireland have presented it with great success. It is expected that the celebrated “Faust,’” will be taken up as a current study. Tte Omaba society is fortunate in having se- cured the voluntary services of Mr. Me- Dowell, inasmuch as be comes from Liver- pool, England, whero until quite recently he 00k an active part in the Liverpool Operatic society, one of tho leading musical organiza- tions of the United Kingdom. The music committee of the First m. E. church has waited upon and sccured the following quartette of artists fur the services on Sunday evening, February 7: Mrs. Mar- tin Cabn, soprano; Miss =M. mlizabeth Amsdemn, alto; Mr. Ralph Breckenridge, tenor; Mr. Lucian B. Copeland, bass. Mrs. Cahn will sing the offertory soloin the morn- ing and Miss Amsden in the evening.

It fairly teems with wit ana humor.

John T. Kelly, one of the best of stage Irishmen, stili remains the bright star, and his portrayal of the role of O'Donovan Innes is indescribably funny.

ALL THE CHURCH WILL PARTICIPATE Rov, Savidge Makes a Hit With the Sinners The Baptist peoplo of Omaha have been looking forward to the events that are to tako placa today with a genuine anticipation of great spiritual refreshment and invigora- tion, The greatest micsionary mass meeting ever held by tho Baptists of this city will prob- ably be held today, and as the people af that church are proverbial for their missionary- spirit the occasion will doubtiess be very in- teresting to people of all denominations and to hundreds who are not church members. The leading spirit of the occasion will bo Rev. J. E. Clough, D. D, of Ongale, India, one of the most distingushed mission- aries in the world. He will ad, tho people at the First Baptist church at 10 o'clock, nd it is expeciod that thero will be s many peoplo present as the church will possibly scoommodate. ' Dr. Clough bas boen n the mission work for neacly thirty years, and it 1s said that the work which ke begau in India under the most discouraging cir- cumstance has resulted in the conversion of ;JV\\\" 50,000 of the natives to the Christian ve- igion. In tho afternoon there will be an interde- nominational meeting, at which ministers of other churches will take part. Bishop New- wan, Dr. Merrill, Dr. Harsha, Rev. Josoph Clark of the Congo, and Dr. Clough will participate in tho daliberations of the after- noon service. At the evening service Rov. W. 6. Witter, M. D, will preside and Rov. S. B. Wilcox, Rev. Thomas Allen and others wiil speak. Excellent music will bo furnished by the First Baptist church choir of Council Biuffs, The Baptist denominution in Omana has been making very commendablo progress during the past five yesrs, and today the va- rious Baptist churches of this city have a total membership _of about 1,100 people. There are twelye Baptist churches and five missions in Omaha. This church is probably doing more effective homo missionary work than any other singladenomination in the city. Itis very natural, thorefore, that a great missionary mass meeting, like that to be held today, should urouse & great deal ot enthusiasm among the Baptists of Omata. Superb Entertainments, Theroe will be a series' of three entertain ments given at the First Methodist church on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nignts of this weck. These entertainments wiil be of exceptional merit und iwportance. The series will be called Tour de Mgmlu and will be under the guidance of Bishop and Mrs. New- man. They will exhibit their magnificent collection of stercopticon views of great cities, palaces, temples and shrines collected in their extensive travels in almost every civilized land under the sun. The various phases of oricntal life will be vividly por- trayed and explained by Bishop and Mrs. Newman. The tourists ieave Omaha via the Union Pacific railway, drop off_at Salt Lake City, then at_Sacramento, Yosemite val- ley,’ San Francisco and pull _out for Japan through the Golden Gate. The excursionists will cross the Pacific ocean, do up Japan and rummage around through China the first evening. On Thursday evening theé journey will be coatinued and the excursionists will take in India, the Garden of Eden, Bagdad, Babylon, Ninevah, Damaseus, Jerusalem and the Holy Lands. On K'riday evening Bishop and Mrs. New- man will take the audience througn Egypt} Constantinople, Greece, Rome and up to Mt. Vesuvias; then through Venice, Brussells, Moscow, = St. Potersburg, Paris, Laverpool and across the Atlantic to New York. From New York the route home will take Philadelphia, Washington, Chicago and Council Bluffs. At the close the audi- ence will sing “Home, Sweet flome.™ Mayor Bems will preside the first even- ing, Superintendent Filzpatrick tho second evening, and Dr. J. I’ Duryea the third ovening.

A very striking inc:- dent occurred to him one day last woeis. Ho visited & well known saloon keeper at his place of business and said: “Mr. — I want, to make a bargain with you." “Name your medicine,” said the saloon Keeper. I want you to pay $1 toward iiquidating tho debt on my church and then I want you 10 promise that you will come up next Sun- day night to meeting and get the worth of your wnvestment.” “DIL just go you one if I lose," said the saloonkeeper, clapping down a big silve dol- Lar ou the counter.

I don’t regret my investment." “I hope you were repaid for coming, toa.” said Rev. Savidge to the man of fistic skill, “Yes, 1 was vory well satisfled with your stylo. You are my kind of a man, You strike right from the shoulder and it's a fight to the finish from the very momeat you get into the r—, pulpit. If the preachers wero all like you, sir, the devil would be knocked clean over the ropes every day in the weei."
