§ « THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY MARCH o KOCIAN AHEAD OF TIME Distinguished Violinist Arrives Barlier Than Expected. IS BEING ENTERTAINED GENEROUSLY C...l, Monday is Left Him for Rest and Study, but He In of th Who Don't Object to That. Jaraalov Koclan, Bohemian violin vir- tuoso, arrived over the Union Pacific from Denver yesterday afternoon at 8:25—which was just the hour he was least expected by John Rosicky, Vaclay Buresch, Josoph Mik and the other local Bohemians who had planned to meet him at the station and give him escort to his hotel. Colonel Mik was the only ome to reach him before he drove from the statfon. The two, with Franz Spindler, Koclan's accompanist, Miss Julie_Geyer, eolo planist and, her mother, and R. C. Heck, treasurer of the company, took carriages to the Paxton where Koclan will be quartered until after his concert at the Boyd Monday night, except for such time as he will be entertained about town, which will be considerable. The program of entertainment for him wae inaugurated last night when several countrymen met him informally at the home of Mr. Vaclay Buresch, Seventeenth and Center streets. Today he will be a guest at Mr. John Ros- fcky’s, 1015 Willlam street, where a dinner distinctly Bohemian is to be glven him and afterward a carriage drive about the city if the weather be propitious and Ko- clan favorable. In the evening from 8 to 9:30 o'clock a public reception will be given at Bohemian hall, Thirteenth and Martha that all may have opportunity to meet the distingulebed young countryman. No pro- gram has been scheduled for Monday as that day is to be allowed him for rest and for the practice he desires previous to the night entertainment in public. Came Ahend of Time. Yesterday's confusion resulted from the first section of train No. § belng run as train No. 102 which makes few stops and has a lightning schedule. It was known here that Kocian had started on No. § and for that reason no one expected him until 5:30 or later. Mr. Rosicky's first motifi- cation was when R. V. Miskovsky met him on the street and remarked he had seen Koclan at the hotel. Frank Zak who was with Mr. Rosicky and who had left Koclan in Denver the night before after an after- noon concert, didn't belleve it and bet & hat on his opinion. Mr. Miskovsky is galner by one hat. All the afternoon local Bo- hemians and others who had not been in- formed of the violinist's arrival haunted the Unfon station to assist in giving him a welcome and a committee was preparing to go out into the state to meet his train. Ever. Mr. Rudolph Aronson, who s man- aging the tour and is ahead of the artist most of the time, was among the surprised and had to be telephoned for. Didn't Worry the Sta But all this derangement of plans and confusion in reception did not appear to disturb Koclan in the least. He trudged into the hotel with his three overcoats, his dress suit case and his never-released vio- lin box as serenely as a grocery drummer, registered for himself In a good, readable band, with New York as his headquarters, and rode up to his room on the parlor floor without blinking an eye. Colonel Mik and Treasurer Heck assisted where pos- ble, of course, but Koclan could have gotten through very nicely without them, for Koclan is a business man as well As an artist, Moreover, ho s a really jolly 5 AMttle chap who s not.only .friendly. but soclable to the limit of his English vocabu- lary, In this respect he differs some from Kubellk. The latter was cordial, but aim- dent and reserved. Ho seemed to prefor not to talk, whereas talking is one of Koclan's delights. When he exhausts his English he calls his own language or Ger- man into execution for any who may not understand. He is full of life and warmth and sympathy. It is claimed for him that he bas a feeling in his playing that Kubelik had not. Certainly he has an animation in his conversation that his predecessor had not. < ‘What He Looks Like. He isn't as handsome as Kubellk, from a woman's point of view, perhaps, but he will win & man {n balf the time. Kubelfk, it will be remembered, was dark and as dainty and supple as a girl. Kocian 18 equally supple and active, but his eyes are bluy, his long halr 18 very light and his mustache a thin blonde affair. His traveling suit s @ business man's gray, and with it he wears a rather awkward dotted blue tie over & soft shirt and ‘“turndown” collar. His nimble hands, after the warm clasp of greeting, busy themselves with something avery second of the time. Yesterday after- noon while chatting with callers it was a Key chain that furnished him employment and he pulled it about Into ent shapes and positions as a boy could have done. But, indeed, Koclan 18 scarcely more than e ———————————————— HAVE HAD THEIR DAY. ola Fa ned Medicines For Catarr No Longer In Vogue. for many years past the usual treatment for catarrh diseases was with local douches, spraye, inbalers and liquid medicines com- posed principally of alcohol, all of which mever cured but simply give the temporary reliet and stimulation. A thorough cure can be made only by the treatment which removes the catarrhal polsons trom the blood. A new remedy which meets the requires ments and which so far has been remark. ably successful In curing catarrh is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. These tablets act upon the blood and mu- cous membrane only. They can hardly be classed as a secret patent medicine as they are cemposed of such valuable remedies as blood root, Hydrastin, red gum of Eucalyptus tree and similar antlseptics combined in tablet form, which cure by eliminating from the blood and mucous membrano the poisons of eca. tarrh. Stuar ant tal Catarrh Tablets are large, pleas- ing losenges to be taken intern- ally, sllowiug them to dissolve in the mouth, thus reaching the throat, trachea and finally the stomach. It desired they may also be dissolved In water and used as a douche, in addition to the internal use, but it is not at all neces. saly to use a douche; a fow of them d solved In the mouth dally will be sufficlent However, when there is much stoppage of the nose a douche made from these tablets will give immedtate relief, but the regular dally use Internally will cure the whole ca. tarrhal trouble without resorting io the inconvenience of a douche. Dr, Bennett stated “that the interna! treatment of catarrh by means of pleasant medicated tablets 1s rapldly taking the place of douches and local applications” and further says that “probably the best and certalnly the safest remedy at present on the market is the Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, 48 uo secret is made of their composition and all the really afficient catarrh remedie, are concentrated in this tablet.” Druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tablets At 50 cts for full sized package, and they will tell you there is no safer, more palatable, eficient and convenient catarrh cure known o the trade - many differ- | & boy. He was born February 23, 1584, ln the little Bohemian city Wildenschwert three hours from Prague, where his father was & school teacher, one wuncle an organist and another a professor of music In the schools. He took up the violin in his fourth year, entered the Prague con- servatory when 12, and studied with Ku- bellk under the celebrated Sevelk. When 6 years old he made the acquaintance of Franz Spindler, who has been playing his accompaniments from that day to this. Of the $26,000 Guarmerius violin, vintage of 1741, given him by Miss Astor and now used in all his concert work, Koclan says little. Possibly he is modest. Or perhaps he is merely sensible and knows when not to talk. His Tour of Americn. His American tour began November 23, when he played in Carnegle hall with Wal- ter Damrosch's orchestra of 100 Instru- ments accompanying. He was In the ea some time, then south, then at San Fran- clsco, where an engagement for five con- certs had to be lengthened to Include seven. From here he goes to Minneapolis, then to a few Wisconsin cities and back to New York, where he closes his tour and #ails for Bohemla early in April. Later he will go to London for a scason and after that to Morocco, Sultan Mullah Abdal Azs having extended, through Mr. Aron- som, an Invitation to Koclan to be the fir foreign instrumentalist ever to play before him. The young man's career, Mr. Aron- #on thinks, is eventually to be that of con- ducting, as his Interest and ambition seems largely to focus In that. He talks of it constantly and is considered rarely gifted for it. The {llness at Birmingham that pre- vented his flling his engagement here Feb- ruary 23 was the result of a cold, but ro severo for a time that Koclan thought his earthly career was to close right there in A very fow hours. Frequently he has played, he says, when he felt physically miserable, but just at present he is enjoy- ing the best of health., ° Enjoys His Dally Life. Every foreign artist while touring says he “likes America.” Kocian says this as though he meant it. The enthustasm and demonstrativencss of the Yankee audience 1s what pleases him. But that is perhaps because he likes enthusiasm and “ginger’ in everything. When not studying he de- mands a divertisement that has life In it and brings him in touch with animate nature. In San Francisco he was 80 pleased with the sport of the sea lions that he wouldn't leave them until Mr. Aronson's legs had grown quite paralyzed with wait- ing. At Chicago someone started the auto- graph craze and the obliging Koclan wrote after a performance untii his wrist and the managerfal patience had given out entirely. Always he 1s cordial and when a caller leaves he recelves first a handclasp and then a bow that is genulnely courtly. Of his skill only the critics are entitled to write. The news chronicler can go no further than the bare statement that he has mastered 160 of the world's classic some of them requiring forty minutes in their execution. Musiclans say he “repre- sents a new school” and is “‘great” even to the extent of being & phenomenon. The caller only observes that he is a modest, animated, entertaining end altogether de- lighttul young chap. The New Tw. oa.

UNITED STATES SHIPPING FALLING OFF While and People Comsume Marvelously Exports to South America Halt for Want Trade Increases Wonderfully of Vessels. NEW ORLEANS, March 21.—Secretary of the Treasury Shaw was the principal guest at the first annual banquet of the board of trade tonight Governor Heard, telegraphing his inabil- ity to be present, sald the flood situation made it necessary for him to remain at the capitol and give immediate attention to frequent communications from the terri- tory affected. Secretary Shaw discussed at some length the results of non-partisan ‘politics, refer- ring to what it had accomplished in the extension of transportation lines, the de- velopment of the mall service, the improve- ment of rivers and harbors, the expansion of commerce and finally in the determina- tion of the American government to con- struct the isthmian canal. American Shipping Falls Of. Continuing he said Now 1 am going to venture the sugges- tion that there is ome more opportunity for non-partisan American statosmanship that would be of great advantage not only to New but generally. In forty years the Orleans, to the gulf states forelgn commerce of the United States has increased 400 per cent, but foreign commerce In American bottoms has decreased 8 per cent. Our farms produce more than the farms of any other country in the world; we mine more coal and ‘more iron than any other people; we grow three-fourths of the cotton of the world, and we manufacture more than all the shops and all the fact- ories of any other two countries on the map by more than $5,000,000,000. We trans- port all of this from port to port aling our coast, under our fiag and in our own ships—and_more cheaply taan any other country, We carry It over our rallroads, at one-third of what it costs In other coun- trieg, but when we have produced it and trafisported it to our shores we have reached our limit and are compelled to ery aloud for help. 8o we ask England and Germany and France and Italy and 8pain and Japan to come and help us, and they respond most willingly, but we pay them for thelr service $200,000,000 per an- num. It te_not surprising then that we take from Brazil, for instance, more than 40 per cent of all it has to sell and sell it in return only 10 per cent of all it has to buy. The marvel I8 that, being compelled to send our goods there in foreign ships, and geénerally first to Europe and thence (o0 ports of destination, we are not so far discriminated against as to make it im- r sible to exzmrl anything to South Amer- can countrie Buy Much More Than Sell. We buy of South American countries $110,000,000 per annum “and eell $35,40,0.0. in ten years the balance of trade against s has been $750,000,000. I am not advocating any particular ship subsidy measure and if 1 had a vote it would” be against any bill that did not make, as a condition precedent to any gov- ernmental ald, the establishment of reg- ular steamship communication with South American or South African countries ad- Jacent islands, or the countries washed by the Pacific ocean, We export In round numbers a billion and a half per annum, and we send two- thirds of tnis to Burope. Twenty per cent of the people of the world will not | always consume 60 per cent of our sur- ifilul production. We must seek new mar- | kets. * Let no " one suppose that simply opening our ports to the free importation of foreign merchandise will insure corres- ponding increase in the forelgn demand for our surplus. Our experience in the West Indies and in South American countries ls a complete demonstration of the fallacy of such a theory. The foreign importer is about the same character of man. as the American importer. He buys where he can buy to the best advantage and without regard to the balance of trade between his cquntry and the one In which he buys. We grow in the United States three- fourths of the cotton of the world. We convert one-fourth of the cotton of the world upon American spindles. We export of manufactured cotton, in round numbers 000,000 per annum, and import of manu- tured cotton $40,000,000. Assuming that there is as much fibre in the forty milllons imported as in the thirty millions exported, the American people consume—actually wear out—one-fourth of the cotton fibre of the world. L doubt that we appreciate the astonishing fact that 6 per cent of the people of the world con- sume 25 per cent of the cotton fibre of the world. The reagon for it 18 the marvelous prosperity of the American pe have cedsed to darn or men burn to save laundry bills. Nelther is this the only astonishing feature of the cotton industry. The world exports of manufactured cotton $635,000,000 yearly, of which the United States gets only 5 'per cent, In other words, the Amer- ican market for manufactured cotton is worth fully 20 per cent of the market of the world for the same class of goods. This we retain. Oiher countries buy our raw cotton, manufacture it, and because of their ‘cheaper labor, are uble. to secure 9 per cent of the export trade on manu- factured cotton. Cotton mills have in- creased in this country in the last few jears marvelously, ‘but they have only kept pace with the consumptive capacity of our own people. If we shall ever Increase our trade with the countries lying to the south of. us or With those washed by the Pacific ocean the gulf states will be benefited thereby certalnly as much as any portion of our common country. CASHES CHECK AND REPENTS Farmer from Illinois Recovers His Good Momey from Two Co dence Men. ople. We and often Heory 8pecht, from Newton, IIl., came very near buyilng a carload of phantom merchandise Saturday afternoon, shortly after he had stepped from a train at the Webster street depot, for the sum of $20. After he had left the depot Specht started to walk up towy, when he was accosted by a well dressed stranger who quickly won his confidence, About a block furthe~ up town they chanced (0 meet another man who informed No. 1 that a car of merchandize had arrived for him upon which there was $20 charges. The first siranger, who said he did not have quite that amount, fendered the Illinols traveler a check for $20, that the bill might be pald Specht cashed the check. The two men then started around the corner. The farmer suspected that all was not right &nd shouted for the men to stop. They did. He demanded his money bac under® pain of calling a policeman who stood across the street. It was returned Then Specht permitted the men to disap- pear before he told his troubles to the officer, — NIP IT IN THE BUD, First Appearance of Dandruft a Fo unuer of Future Baldnes That such s the case has been con- clusively proven by scientific research.
