Hard Fire.
Belle Plaine, la., Sept. 9, 1894.—To
Whom It May Concern: This is to cer
tify that I had a No. 6 Cary fire proof
safe in my drug store when it burned
to the ground on July 28, 1894, and it
preserved its contents in A. No. 1 condi
tion.
I#i the cellar directly under my safe
were two barrels of rosin, one barrel
of turpentine and six barrels of oils
and other inflammable goods. The cel
lar also contained several tons of coal.
The best recommendation I can give
for the Cray safe is that I have today
placed, my order with their agent, Mr.
Bopp, for another safe. Yours ruly,
J. G. Van Meter.

MUSIC AND MUSICIANS.
Just now everything musical in Far
go seems to be in a state of lethargy,
at least there are no entertainments
for strictly musical people. Work in
the studios and among the teachers
goes merrily along and we may ex
pect soon to hear of sokne recitals by
pupils.
The talk of the week has been the
enjoyment afforded by the appearance
of the Thomas Orchestra last Satur
day, of*course everyone went into ec
stasies over the playing of the great
aggregation of instrumentalists and the
directing of Mr. Storck.
The storm Thursday night and the
promise that it would continue for a
day or two. caused a postponement of
the regular meeting of the Fargo Mu
sical Club. The adjourned meeting
will be held in Stone's Music Hall next
Monday evening. The subject for the
evening will be "The Operatic Prede
cessors of Richard Wagner."
Lov.ers of orchestral music will be
pleased to hear that Director Zimmer
man of the North Dakota State Band
has arranged that the first Sunday aft
ernoon concert by the band, to be
given this season, will be given at the
operahouse, Dec. 13.
v
They are fortunate who will be
guests of the Elks this evening at a
song recital which is to be giv^ as
a prelude to a ladies' social under the
auspices of the antler-wearers. Maude
Adams'Waterman of Minneapolis, who
possesses a contralto voice of remark
able richness, will sing and she will
be accompanied by Mrs. Fred Irish,
who is not a stranger to Fargoans, al
though she is among the most recent
brides to come here from afar.
Mrs. R. M. Tuttle of Mandan has
issued invitations to her friends in tlie
west Missouri metropolis, for a musi
cale to be given Dec. 17. Both Mrs.
Tuttle and her daughter will play on
a new grand piano. Mrs. Tuttle has
recently spent some time studying at
Leipsic, Germany and Miss Tuttle has
only recently returned from a two
years' study at the same wbrld-re
nowned musical center.
Professor Penniman is particularly
gratified at the enthusiasm shown by
the chorus which has just begun pre
paring for the presentation of the
great- oratorio, "Elijah."
Among the attractions at the St.
Louis Exposition next year will be the
largest pipe organ in the world. It
is now being built at Los Angeles, Cal.,
at a cost of $75,000. An idea of its im
mehfcity can be had when one is in
formed that it is to be three stories
high and as big as an ordinary ten
rbottff" house. It will be shipped in
three Sections and will furnish a new
problem for the railways. The case is
being made in the east, but the organ
will require 75,000 feet of lumber,
aside from the case. There will be
10.06b pipes. Two ten-horse power
tnot&rs of 22o volts direct current, will
be Required to operate the bellows.
The'generator for this current will be
So fitjfanged that the instrument can
'be played for six months, or longer,
ffonsiantly. There ,will be 1,300 mag
nets,' having both the key and draw
stop action.
Manuel Klein, though only 26 years
old, and general musical director for
Daniel Frohtnaiiv and conductor of the
new Lyceum Theatre orchestra. New
-York on being-asked, said he believed
in work, and agreed with Sir Arthur
Sullivan that "inspiration is perspira
tion," and that the old idea of the
musician jumping out of bed in chase
of an elusive melody, which the muse
has whispered to him in his' sleep was
bosh.
"The Dawn of Hope," the new
Christmas song by Harry Rowe Shel
ley. though' issued but a few weeks, is
scoring a phenomenal salie, and is
down as a big seller.
Milka Ternina. who is to. sing the
character of Kundry in "Parsifal."
wants Americans to take the opera in
the poetic spirit that Wagner wrote it.
Fischer, the famous conductor, who
was thrown into contact with Wagner
at Bavreuth, once told of a conversa
tion he had with the master. That was
just after the first production of "Par
sifal." and some one asked Wagner in
Fisdier's presence what a certain
scene in the opera meant.
"My dear friend," answered tire com­

poser. "I don't know what it means. I
only know that 1 felt it when I wrote
it."
That is the way we should take "Par
sifal." How absurd for us to take thU
work of a poet's mind and heart and
try to analyze and examine every line
to discover just what its significance is.
Mme. Fanny Bloomfield-Zeisler's
two piano recitals will take place in
Mendelssohn Hall. At the first she
will play Beethoven's sonata, opus 10,
No. 2 Schumann's "Papillons," a siute
by Moszkowski, and numbers by
Joseffy, Chopin and Charbrier.

ORIGINAL SIGNERS.
Lisbon Gazette: No doubt those
sturdy, honest, old signers of the' Dec
laration of Independence arc squirming
to get out of their graves and come back
into public life long enough to put in a
few strokes where they would do the
most good. Still, let 11s be thankful
for the fact that such shameful truths
as the postoflice frauds are at last
brought to light, and for laws provid
ing for the'punishment of the corrup
tionists. And may Our grand, good
forefathers rest al ittle easier to know
we have' a man with a keen eye and
stern principles in the presidential chair
tolerating neither graft nor grafters.
