Tenant Olary's Musioal Enterprise Begins to Assnme Tangible Form. ARTICLES - OF INCORPORATION ~READY entative Business Men Lend Thelr Ald Encouragement to the Move- mentThe Ladies' Musical Program Mrs. Cotton's Recitals. Preliminary steps have been taken for the incorporation of the Omaha Opera Festival school, and the plan of Miss C. C. Tenant Clary for a local stage in t! i y fair to be carried out. The plan is a broad one and its consummation means any amount of hard work with at best but a limited veward at first further than the advancement of the musical standard and interest in Omaha. But Miss Clary is a worker and the opera school is the | hobby upon which she seems willing to de- her entire timo and apparently unlim- ited encrgy. She has been persistent in her efforts to enlist the interest of the leading citizens in the enterprise and has succeeded | in a measure that must be a surprise and o buke to the less enterprising promotors of music who have spent so much time in the past in proclaiming that Omaha people do not take any interest in such movements. The tangible result of Miss Clary's efforts shown at a meeting held a few even- ings ago, when the first steps toward the final organization of the school were taken. The meeting ttended by alarge number of the most prominent citiz and the inter- est manifested was a anty that the plans proposed will be carried out and the enterprise given a fair trial with liberal en- couragement, and w! more could the pro- moter of any enterprise ask? At the meeting Miss Clary was chosen president of the proposed incorporation; Hon. George P. Bemis, vice president; N. N Hubbard, consulting attorney, and Dr. Wood consulting physician. = An_advisor board was selected, con iz of the follow ing well known citizens: Rev. J. T. Dur) Newton Mann, Mua Meyer, Thom P. Kirkendall, podian, , Clement Chase, Mr, and Mus, uan, W. A, Paxton, W.J. Con- nell, J. M. Woolworth, Mrs. Peattie and Mrs. Thomas L. Kimball Committees were appointed to prepare the f incorporation and a constisution -laws to be reported ata meeting to be held this week, when the further plans of the school will be announced to those in- terested in_ the movement, B re pending for instructors in the various aepartn of the school. There is good e to secure the services of Max Maretze s director. He will at least introduce the work, and if he cannot remain permanently with the school Madame Maretzek will probably be secured as director. Prof. Morand will have charge of the dancing classes and Prof. Dennis of the fencing classes. It is now the plan to open the school in March, although it m be decided to fix the opening e for th week it April. The term w continue four months Those who have peen made acquainted with Mi: ] s plans for the school are very sanguine of the success of the move ment and predict that in a few years Omaha will have a local stage worthy of the name. * The next recital of the Ladies Music ciety will be held at Ford & Charltor S hallon Wednesday evening of this week. The program will be furnished by the Phil- omela quartet. one of the most popular of local vocal organizations and whose previous performances have been received with much satisfaction by Omaha audiences. The quar- tet is composed of Misses Clara Clarkson, Myrtle Coon; Bishop.and Mrs. Moeller. The following program will be rendered Wednes- day evening: The Chimes ...J. C. Macy Quartet.

The Apollo club had been to con- siderable trouble and some expense in secur- ing the attraction, and ut the popular prices which had been decided on no lover of good music would have had an excuse for stayin away. Whether the company can be secured for a date later in the season is not sure at present, but an effort in this direction will probably be made. « The fivst performince of Mascagni's “L'Amico Fritz in America will be given in Music_hall, New York, January under the management of Mr. Reno and the musical direction of Walter Damrosch.

People who do not understand the of forecasts and signals which go United States weather burvau are given to a good deal of unjust and unreasonable criti- cism. It is natural for a person to supnose that the weather prevailing in his immediate locality covers a much wider area t i frequently the case, and the appearance of a local flurry of snow or a local shower sf rain in the face of a prediction of fair weather on the part of the weather forecaster is pointed to by many and frequently spoken of in editorial comment as an absolute failure of the forecaster, when as a matter of fact his prediction may be verified by the average weather over the area for which he is sup- posed to make the forecast. A local flurry of snow or a slight fall of rain does not even prove a local forecast of fair weather to have been a mistake. The phrase “fair weather” in weather bureau language, means weather in which less that one-hundredth of an inch of rain o snow has fallen within twenty-four hour: To a person unacquainted with this meaning of the phrase the forecasts made by Captain Hunt of the Omaha weather bureau during the month of December often appeared to ave been erroncous when they were vevified by the record during the entire month, with the exception of one or two days. There were twelve days during the month in which it snowed, but the fall was les an one-one-hundredth of the prediction of days was correct. although it blew and snowed usly for 4 few minutes each day. There were but nine days during the month that could be called i ording to the rules of the weather bureau. That is, there were but nine days in which there was a fall of more than one-one-hundredth of an inch of snow or rain, The forecaster is not justified, the in sending out a prediction of snow unl believ that there will be a fall of than one one-hundrdth of an inch, ‘With regard to the cold wave signal also due to the local forecaster to state that he simply follows directions from Washington in displaying them. It sometimes happens that the forecaster in Washington, looking at the situation from long r: and being unfamiliar with the lo peculiarities of climate, may order a, cold wave for Omaha or s other point when the local forecaster s it in his bones’ that the will be no such de- cided drop of the mercury as the head oftice has predicted.
