The National Federation of Mu

Will Assemble in Sixth Biennial
Session at Grand Rapids.
' -HERE IT WAS FOUNDED
By Mrs. Theodore Thomas, Wife
Orchestra Leader.
Three Eig Prizes Hung Up for
Composers of Music.
Grand Rapids, Mich, April 24. Xo
movement in musical circles over the
entire country Is attracting so much
attention as the approaching festival
of the National Federation of Musical
clubs, to be held in this city May 24
'29. The officers and various com
mittees under the direction of the
president, Mrs. C. B. Kelsey of this
city, are bending every energy to
make the approaching event the
greatest of its kind ever held. An un
usually attractive program has been
arranged for the six days of the con
vention, in addition to the business of
the organization to be transacted, and
Instructive and educational papers to
ce read by the most prominent mu
sicians in America.
The idea of a national federation
originated during the Chicago World's
fair, when Mrs. Theodore Thomas,
wife of the famous orchestral con
ductor, had gathered together repre
sentatives of various women's musi
cal clubs for a festival. The interest
on this occasion was so great that a
desire for a permanent organization
was aroused. Mrs. Edwin F. Uhl, of
this city, introduced a set of resolu
tions to this effect, which were unan
imously adopted.
The permanent organization was

that city. The first biennal was held
in St. Louis the following year and
met with enthusiastic support by mu
sic lovers over the entire countrs-.
The Second Biennial.
In 1901 the second biennial was
held in Cleveland, Ohio, upon invita
tion of the Fortnighty Musical club.
This meeting showed that the Feder
ation had had a continuous growth
during tho two years preceding. Good
programs were given by the leading
musicians of the country, such as the
Pittsburg orchestra, Fanny Bloomfield
!Zeisler. Madame Schumann-Heink
and others.
The third biennial was held in
Rochester, N. Y., two years later and
the enthusiasm of the previous meet
ings continued. Unusually strong mu
sical numbers were rendered by the
American Symphony orchestra. Ger
trude May Stein and various represen
tatives of the federated clubs.
The fourth biennial was held in
Denver in June. 1905. An auspicious
gathering resulted and the entertain
ment was of no less an auspicious
character. The musical features of
the week were interesting in the ex
treme. Th artists provided by the
Hostess club were of the highest rank,
Including the Olive Mead String quar
tet. The program by the Denver mu
sicians gave inspiration to all, espec
ially the concert by the Tuesday Mus
ical chorus. A charming entertain
ment was enjoyed at the home of Mrs.
W. H. Blayney, whose pipe organ and
concert grand piano both contributed
largely to the pleasure of her guests.
Met at Memphis.
The fifth biennial was held at Mem
phis, on invitation of the Beethoven
club. Southern hospitality has surely
never been more lavishly displayed
than on this occasion. Each day of
the biennial week was filled with op
portunities for the most delightful
pleasure, both musical and social.
Among the many delightful were the
reception, with literary program, giv
rn by the Women's club at the fine
old southern mansion of the club
president, Mrs. Daniel Grant, and the
MRS. WILLA LEOX.1KD, EXPERT OX COUNTERFEIT MONET.

frequently been declared that women
are utterly incompetent to detect
counterfeit money, and without doubt,
this Is true of the sex as a whole;

Mrs. Willa Leonard has been em
ployed in the treasury department
continuously for 45 years, having be
gun her work there on July 1st. 1864.
She began in the counting-room,
but her sense of form, color and dis
tance was so acute that she soon be
came expert in detecting anything un
usual in a bill, and in 1876 she was
made chief detective of counterfeit

sition she has held ever since, and

tea and program by the Press and'
Authors' club at the Guyosa hotel. Al
so the reception given by the Nine
teenth Century club. At all of these
entertainments music found an im
portant place. Three musical features
included the Beethoven Ensemble club
whose concert under their own direc
tor, Jacob Bloom, was a revelation
to the members of the. federation;
the recital by Jessica De Wolf and
Mrs. Frank Hoffman at the piano
were notable events in federation an
nals. Work of the Session.
. The business of the fifth biennial
was of engrossing interest. The two
most important acts were the estab
lishment of a committee on public
school music and the creation of -an
American music department. The lat
ter is in charge of a committee of
three, with Mrs. Jason H. Walker, of
Memphis, as chairman, the' other
members being Mrs. David A. Camp
bell and Arthur Farwell. Mrs. Walker
second national vice-president, intro
duced at the annual meeting of the
national board a resolution as follows:
"That the X. F. M. C. offer a na
tional prize or prizes for the best
American composition to be awarded
at the next biennial in 1909 and the
composition to be rendered at that
meeting."
This resolution was carried and this
year for the first time three prizes
have been offered, one of $1,000 for
the best orchestral composition, $500
for the best piano solo, and $500 for
the best vocal solo. The competition
has been opened to every native Am
erican composer. The prizes will be
awarded and the successful composi
tions rendered at the approaching fes
tival. List of Officers.
As above stated, Mrs. Theodore
Thomas was the founder and has
been made the honorary president of
the organization. Its first president,
and one whose active support has al
ways been of the greatest importance
to the organization, was Mrs. Edwin
F. Uhl. wife of the late Edwin F. Uhl,
ambassador to Germany. The pres-
her "bad" dooms it to destruction.
When Mrs. Leonard began her work
the country was flooded with prac
tical currency, called "shlnplasters."
Millions of dollars of these are still
out. At one time or another many
of these have been counterfeited as
well as the bills of larger denomina
tion. To the younger persons em
ployed in this department, these are
very puzzling, but to Mrs. Leonard
they are old acquaintances, as her
years of experience have made her
familiar with them.
In appearance Mrs. Leonard Is
about 65 or 70 years of age and a
rheumatic trouble has compelled her
to go about on crutches, but her eye
is as bright and keen as an eagle's,
and every morning between 7 and 8
o clock she may be seen alighting
irom a. carriage at tne treasury build
ing ready for her day's .work.
ent officers are as follows:
First vice president Mrs. David A.
Campbell, Kansas City, Mo.
Second vice president Mrs. Jason
H. Walker, Memphis, Tenn.
Recording secretary Mrs. Adolf
Frey, Syracuse, N. Y.
Corresponding Secretary Mrs.
Emerson H. Brush, Elmhurst. 111.
Treasurer Mrs. Frank E. Shepard,
Denver, Colo.
Librarian Mrs. George L. Frankel,
St. Louis, Mo.
Auditor Mrs. John Leverett, Upper
Alton, III.
Sectional vice presidents:
Eastern Mrs. J. P. Walker, Free
hold, N. J.
Middle Mrs. A. M. Robertson, In
dianapolis, Ind.
Southern Mrs. Claude L. Steele,
Muskogee, Okla.
Western Mrs. J. W. Winger, Ne
braska. The organization is composed of
musical clubs from the largest cities
of practically every state in the Un
ion. The country is divided into cen
tral, southern and western sections,
each section being represented by a
vice president. The object of the or
ganization is to cultivate and create
for the highest quality of music and
to bring this within the hearing of all;
to further the cause of American mu
sic in every way possible. Among the
many benefits to be derived from the
membership in the X. F. M. C. is the
exchange of musical programs, in
whole or in part, through the recipro
city bureau, and the interchange of
music and of papers upon musical to
pics. Another great advantage is the
opportunity for comparison of club
methods at the biennial gatherings.
To Meet in Home City.
Great interest centers in the sixth
biennial, which is to be held in this
city. For the first time In the history
of the organization a biennial will be
held in the home city of the national
president and in a club house owned
by the enterprising club. With the
inspiration derived from the hearing
of three musical compositions which
have been adjudged worthy to receive
the honor of first place in the com
petition and the exceptionally fine
musical programs to be rendered by
the best talent in America, the sixth
biennial is assured of unprecedented
success.
A large proportion of the members
have signified their intention of send
ing delegates to this biennial festival,
and it is expected to make it the larg
est and best musical gathering ever
held.

Mrs. C. C. Goddard of Leavenworth
is proving every day what an admir
able president she would make for
the State Federation, judging from
the success she has had as president
of the Civic League of Leavenworth
in the few short months it has been
in existence. '
While making preparations for the
First District Federation meeting in
Leavenworth in October, committees
from three federated clubs in the city
met together perfecting plans for the
entertainment of their guests. After
the Federation meeting was over,
these committees finding how much
they had accomplished in such a
short time, began looking around for
"more worlds to conquer" and the
Civic League was the outcome. The
work already done speaks well for its
head.
The League Is Interested in all phil
anthropic work, and at its beginning
through the means of a "tag day" and
sunflower colored contribution boxes
the organization presented to the State
Tuberculosis association $117.56 as a
tribute to Kansas Day.
The League, in connection with the
Greater Leavenworth club, advertised
a "Booster's Day" for Leavenworth,
March 2nd, and had complete charge
of the sale of "Booster Buttons," and
paid the "town doctor," who came
and prescribed for the ills of the town
$151.00. In recognition of their ef
forts the business men donated $100
to help the Civic League In their
commendable work of beautifying
Leavenworth.
At tho present time the organization
is trying to establish public play
grounds on vacant lots, turn unsight
ly places into pretty little parks, of
fering prizes for boys gardens, expect
next month to have a general "clean
up" and "tin can" day, having the
ministers preach sermons on the sub
ject, holding meetings for the women
voters trying to interest them in a
manuel training school, trying to
abate the bill board nuisance, and in
every way working to make Leaven
worth a "city beautiful."
Tho League is having the co-operation
of the commissioners in their
work and have been assured by them,
through Omar Abernathy. of their
hearty support in all the undertak
ings of the League.
The Leavenworth capers have been
most generous in their press notices
of the work, and as a consequence tne
secretary of the league has been de
luged with letters and printed matter
pertaining to the work in hand.
