TheStudebaker
SIX has wiped out
In Fargo the old
Idea that a -Six" is
expensive to run.
Because it is an economical
car.
Its economy comes from
light weight and perfect
balance.
Drop forgings save weight
—are stronger.
We use 247—more than any
other car.
Heat treated steel saves
weight is stronger
wears longer.
We use more than any oth
er car.
The SIX motor is more
powerful, more smooth
and uses less fuel than a
"Four" of larger size.
The Studebaker SIX is easy
on tires—easy on fuel-r
because it weighs less
than 3000 pounds.
That is why owners are sat
isfied.
Why sales are greater than
any other "Six."

IN PIANO RECITAL.
The graduation piano recital given
Monday evening by Mabel E. Bowers
of the Dakota conservatory, proved
another of the pleasing pre-com
mencement affairs which have been
given by this school which always
come at the close of the institution's
year. Miss Bowers was brilliantly as
sisted by Mrg. Edwin T. Askegaard.
the talented soprano of Moorhead, who
has often favored Fargo audiences
with her beautiful singing.
The program was an ambitious one
of six numbers of which four were
contributed by the graduate, opening
with a group of three classics, one by
Bach and two by Mendelssohn, all of
them well interpreted by Miss Bowers,
demonstrating the efficient training
she has received at the conservatory,
her clear touch and fine technique be
ing especially noteworthy. The rendi
tions by Mise Bowers were performed
exquisitely, but the more favorable
comments were made of the closing
number and the group preceding that.
The Wanderer Fantasy, played the
first time in Fargo and to be repeat
ed on request, was played with an or
chestra accomianiment consisting of
organ, second piano and a string quar
tet. Mrs. Askegaard gave brilliant
renditions of the Caro Nome, by Verdi
and Fe Faivn Rose, by Arditl.
The church was well filled and Miss
Bowers was made the recipient of gifts
and flowers from her many admirers.

I with Ellery's band at Carnegie hall
I New 2&t ibIs -being jUie
opening night of a four day Carnival
of Music. She sang Vissi l'arte e
d'amor, from Tosca, and creatod
enthusiasm by her beautiful voice and
warm, dramatic interpretation. She
was recalled half a dozen times after
the aria, and was presented with sev
eral armfuls of flowers. At another
concert of the series she and Alfred
lima, baritone, sang two duets, viz.,
Faure's The Crucifix and the bar
carolle from Tales of Hoffman.
These numbers, too, received warm
applause.
Of her appearance The Commercial
and Advertiser of the empire cit7 said:
"Miss Bryant made a splendid figure
as she sang Vissi d'arte, and her work
called for a well deserved encore. She
declined to respond to a second en
core, despite the applause, which was
still heard when the leader rapped for
the next number by the band. Miss
Bryant sang with much expression
and sympathy. Her voice shows the
training of seven years on the con
tinent in operatic and concert work."

TRIBUTE TO MME. NORDICA.
Like several other great singers,
men and wimen, Lillian Nordica did
not drive well in harness, but this was
not due to a freakish temperament,
such as many singers feel privileged to
carry as baggage. She was a woman
with a strong mind of her own and a
disposition to insist on her own view* Elegy ....
of the consideration due herself, with
somewhat less concern for the oppos- Walt*
ing wishes of others than wan neces
sary for complete harmony, or what
passes for such, in opera companies.
She wasp a great singer, who valued
her own worth and gained high emi
nence in her profession, writes The
Sun. New York.
There wert two great moments in
Mme. Nordica's career when she tasted
In abundance the public's enthusiastic
appreciation of her art. The first was
in Leipsic in the autumn of 1894, when
she fairly beat back the tide of pro
fessional rivalry or jealousy and both
vocally and histrionically scored a dis
tinguished triumph before audiences
in a city of high musical culture and
notoriously hard to please and difficult
to move. She moved them to great
enthusiasm. She won her seoond great
personal triumph in New York at the
Metropolitan in 189-6 when Anton Seidi
lifted up to her the broad basket of
roses, among which lay the casket
containing the magnificent diamond
tiara presented by & large number of
her admirers, who thus acclaimed her
queen of song.
Greatest in her Wagnerian roles, she
was able successfully to command a
hearing and win unqualified success
as Violetta Leipsic. Her art was
finished and beautiful, ftnd she never
became so completely a citizen of the
oi»erahousc, but always drew large and
enthusiastic audiences during her con
cert tours in all parts of this country
and in Europe she was sure of hearti
est welcome from the public, and her
American birth scarcely made her
seem more at home on this side the
ocean than the other. She expressed
her pride in being an American, and
on one occasion took occasion to criti
cise an .American opera management
which wholly disregarded its pwn
American born artists in casting a
piece supposed to show some features
of a characteristic phase of American
life. The fact that New York audienc
e.s do not generally care about the na
tionality of its operatice artists, pro
ivided 4ft ihe be#£ o£ tiem.
Sir
does not alter the a park of truth and
good sense vhlch was Inherent in her
criticism. But the fact that she her
iRolf, being an American, was counted,
speaking in pique served to blunt
the point of her javelin. It. is with the
greatest delight that the glorious
achievements of Lillian Nordica are
recalled and with profound regret that
the public learns that it

-S
YORK CHURCH MUSIC.
"In certain churches in New York a
sufficiently high standard is observed.
The music is carefully selected, and
on special occasions cantatas by well
known writers and portions of the
familiar oratorios are creditably per
formed. But these form the minority.
"At most churches," says Hermann
Klein in his "Unmusical New York,"
"the music includes a large portion of
'sacred songs' of an ad captandum
type—spurious imitations of the
Mendelssohn-Gounod style, by writers
of the Kapellmeister-musik order, who
make an excellent living: out of their
suavely effective effusions. These
'pot boilers' are little if aught superior
to the much derided British ballad
but they are supposed to please audi
ences to whom music of a higher class
would not make the same appeal.
"The soloist who is required to sing
this dull, pretentious stuff deserves to
be pitied. Nor can the blame be alto
gether at the door of the organist. If
he be a "strong man,' and in a position
to put his foot down, his feelings as a
trained musician and his natural love
for the artistic will assert themselves
to the extent of keeping the sacred pot
boiler out of the service. On the other
hand, he is too frequently obliged to
cater to the whims and fancies of his
committee or congregation.
"Thus it is that the mixture of styles
presented by New York church music
is at times so inconceivably quaint as
to make a theatre or restaurant pro
gram look positively consistent by
comparison. ...
"Take them for all in all, though,
the New York organists are a splendid
set of musicians—capable, industrious,
conscientious, and thorough. Many of
them, too, are executants of a superior
order, whose recitals are well wortii
attending and of real educative value.
"It is quite in the power of such men
to uphold the best traditions of music
in their churches. They should see to
it that no minor conditions, no petty
desire to gratify an ignoble or vulgar
taste, be permitted to lower by a sin
gle notch the exalted standard of the
school in which they themselves were
reared."
