10 MUSIC The professional league, an organi zation ;• made up of St. Paul music teachers, was organized primarily for the purpose of creating an esprit dv corps among those whose work was the same and whose aims, therefore, it was reasonably argued, must of necessity be somewhat similar. Four years ago when Clarence Eddy, the Chicago or ganist,. had retired to one of the par lors of the People's church after pre senting an unusually • fine programme on the organ of that church, Mr. Ober- Hoffer rushed into the room where the organist sat resting and in the excit able German fashion, literally fell on Mr. Eddy's neck while he expressed eloquently the pleasure he had enjoy ed while listening to the organist play. That was one musician's tribute to an other, esprit dv corps, if you please. But though the Professional league has existed now for three years and though the purpose of its organization was undoubtedly a most sincere one, no one has yet beheld the spectacle of one St. Paul musician •falling on another's neck in his endeavor to express pleas ure over the music he has heard. Of course all proofs of the existence of an esprit dv corps need not be dramatic. A quieter evidence of such a spirit and one that probably would be more ap preciated by the musician toward whom it was shown would be a liberal patronage of those recitals and con certs that are given by home talent. Unfortunately home talent too often implies mediocrity, but here in St. Paul it does not necessarily imply any thing of the sort. The city has per haps five musicians who are capable of presenting musical programmes that compare favorably with those that have been given here by out-of-town artists. But let one of those musi cians arrange to give a recital, let him work faithfully on the programme he is to present and let the truth of the announcement that he has something worth while to offer be acknowledged, what is the result? His audience will be meager and those who attend will be his personal friends and not his fellow workers. Because such apathy exists one cannot, of course, attribute failure to the Professional league. Doubtless in time, if it remains an or ganized body, one m&V view the happy spectacle of local musicians hastening to lend the encouragement of their presence and the greater encourage ment of their price of admission to some struggling local artist. Only one regrets . that the league's leaven leav eneth so slowly. " * ■ * • * Although the concert tomorrow night will open the auditorium of the Peo ple's church, the pipe organ will not be in place in the church. , Indeed,- it has not been shipped. It will probably be a month before the organ is placed in the church. \ • :. • * * The essays of two St. Paul musi cian's are included in a volume of se lected "Musical Essays" just publish ed by an Eastern firm. These essays are "Voice and Vanity," by Charles A. Fisher, and "Musical Culture Within the Profession," by Carl Heilmaier. '-:■*-* * ' ■ The last of the Bergh recitals will be given Monday evening, Jan. 5, at Mozart hall. . The Gade trio for piano, violin and 'cello will be one of the most interesting, numbers on the programme. Mr. William Geist will play the cello. PROGRAMMES. The usual Christmas music by the vested choir of fifty voices at St. Paul's Episcopal church will be given this even ing at 7:30 o'clock, under the direction of Thomas Yapp, choir master.

Wait, will commence an organ programme of half an hour's duration. The evening service will be devoted entirely to music. No sermon will be delivered. In their order the preludes will be as follows: Offertory on Christmas Carols.. .Guilmant Coronation March Meyerbeer Pastoral Kullak Grand Triumphal Chorus Guilmant Credo .

But- de Lussan herself needs no outsi.de attraction to render her recital a satis factory one. . She possesses a « mezzo so prano voice of great power and sweet ness, her enunciation is clear and distinct and she. is in perfect control of her vocal organs. Moreover, Mile, de Lussan is the possessor of a most attractive personality. Angclo Fronani, hf-r accompanist, is said to be a fine soloist also. He v/ill play two numbers tomorrow evening. The pro gramme follows: (a) "On the Wing* of Song"— Mendelssohn <]>> "\>-i A«ra" Rubenstein (c) "May Morning" Denza (a) "ConaJa tv lo Pays," "Mignon"— A. Thomas <b) "Btyrlennc." "Mignon"..A.

The report covers the time from Aug. 31, 1901, to Nov. 30, 1902, and in addi tion to the 5 per cent-to be paid the depositors permission is granted to pay over dividends heretofore withheld on claims of stockholders.

Rev. B. Li. Conway and Rev. J. B. Harney, two Paulist priests, will be gin a series of lectures at St. Luke's church, Victoria street and Portland avenue, commencing Jan. 12. The lectures are to be exclusively for non-Catholics and their friends. Members of the Catholic churches are placed upon their honor not to at tend unless accompanied by a non- Catholic friend. In speaking of the lectures one of the Paulist fathers said: "The object of these lectures is to tear aside the veil of prejudice and misconception which prevents non-Catholics from seeing the church as she really is. Most of her enemies are not opposed to her, but to something which they think she is—a nightmare specter of their own creat ing, which vanishes at the approach of light. Too many know the Catholic church only at second hand; too many have heard her teachings explained by those who know her not, and yet hated her. This is not reasonable. You do not find out the principle or the rea son of the Spanish-American war from an enemy of our country." Lectures delivered by these priests at usual high masses at the church during their stay in St. Paul will be for both Catholics and non- Catholics. At the evening lectures question boxes are provided Into which seekers for information many put interrogatories concerning the church of which they are ignorant. Why He Kicked. "I don't see why Shoddyman is kicking so about the way the firemen deluged his factory with water. They got the fire out all right before it did much dam age." "Yes, but the water ruined his stock." "What does he manufacture?" "Umbrellas." — Cincinnati Commercia' Tribune.
