Inansnration of a Grand Campaljn for Kext Season. HEWS OP ODE LOCAL JIUSICIAXS The attractive little pamphlet just issued by the Mozart Club tells in pleasant fashion the interesting story of the club's growth from a Ttry small beginning, tlironeh many obstacles, up to its present commanding position in Pittsburg's musical life. The story was pretty lully told in this column a year or two ago; a brief resume now will enable the reader better to appreciate the exact situation of the club and its needs for the future. In the early winter of 1878, some two dozen singers cot together on the Southside to help along in a pair of church benefit concerts. Mr. James T. ilcCollum was their director and he rehearsed them so faithfully in Sullivan's cantata, "The Prodigal Son," that they resolved to go on with the work after the concerts had been Riven. This was the beginning of ihe "Mozart Chora) Society," which was at once organized npon a permanent plan much the same as that now followed. The active members con tributed their services and the associte members their 510 a year for the privilege of listening. High standards were set Irora the start, but they were not jumped at; artistic thoroughness and business prudence dictated a modest, slow-but-sure policy, hili irliile it looked small beside the big festival schemes that rose and fell from time to time, formed the best possible conditions for solid, permanent growth. "frith the seventh season what may be called the club's second period began. The earnest work of Mr. McColIuui and the chorus had commenced to tell in the quality ' of its singing, but the results in concert were largely discounted by the ue only of a piano accompaniment. But 24 names were on the associate membership list; a total assured income of 5240 a year. An orchestra was needed so badly, however, that the bold step was taken ol devoting a ball of that income to secure tor the Feb ruary concert the needed professional play ers to fill out the amateur orchestra then or ganized. Shortly afterward the orchestral department was permanently added to the organization, which was thereupon re baptized as "The Mozart Club," and in 18S6 incorporated under this name. The im proved performances increased public inter est, and soon raised the associate member ship list to a point tdat secured the expense of maintaining the orchestra upon that economical, semi-amateur basis. The club's concerts were first regularly given in the Cumberland Preshyterian Church, Sixth avenue; then-1885-G, in the Fourth Avenue Baptist Church; since the lall of 1887 it has leased Old City Hall and reclaimed that auditorium for the higher uses to which it was put in earlier days. There is not a tinge ot money-seeking about the workers of the Mozart Club. Director McCollum has labored all these years with out anv salary at all; the pianist did like wise until lately, and now gets but a trifle; the officers and active members not only give their services, but pay small dues besides. These services have been often and cheeriully given lor charitable objects as well as lor the club's own concerts. The musical re sults of this club's activity have "been ot greater value than that ot any other single element in the city's mnsical activities. "Home talent 1" has" ever been the watch word. Concert, church and fireside singers have been plenti ully developed thereby; while the whole plane of musical Pittsburg has been elevated by these annual series of high-grade concerts, culminating in the superb "Elijah" concert with the Boston Symphony Orchestra last month. The club is now making an effort to inaugurate what may be called its third period, to extend and broaden the scope ol its work so that jt shall include not only the cultivation ofhometjlent,but alsotnegiving of the best music by the best attainable per forming force, be it drawn Jrom local sources or otherwise. More is promised in the pros pectus tor next season than ever before offered by a home organization; more both for the associate members specifically and for the public weKare generally. Intending subscribers will do well to make themselves known without delay. Plans for such a campaign as is proposed must necessarily be laid before the season opens; they cannot be safely deterniinttj, however, until the wherewithal is assured. Theoueaimof t e club, as stated, is to give only the highest order of music in the very best manner possible, in as great vari ety and quantity as can be done thoroughly. It'is its purpose to give during the coming season, five concerts instead of three, as heretofore, as lollows: On Kovember 12 an oratorio or con tat a for solo voices, chorus and orchestra, on Feb ruary 19 a similar programme, and on March 19 a miscellaneous programme. For these concerts thtre will be an orchestra of 33 to 40 musicians. On May 23 Mendels sohn's "Hymn of Praise" (one hour) aud orchestral programme by Boston Symphony Orchestra, or some other celebrated body of instrumentalists. On May 24 the same orchestra, with choral work to be selected. The recent performance of "Elijah" with the Boston Symphony Orchestra proved so acceptable to the large audience present and met with such enthusiastic enconiums from leading citizens. and musi cians that it is believed to be in the line of a healthy progress to endeavor to have such an organization with us at least once in the year. Crotebrl- and Quaver. Tint Gernert and Guenther Orchestra com menced last week a series of fonr orchestral concerts to be given on successive Fridays in Bewickley. T&z great violinist, Barasati, has been defin itely engaged by Mr. Abbey for an American tonr next season. He is one of the three or four best violinists alive, ana in certain lines quite incomparable. Thz suicide of Mr. Eugene Thayer at Bur lington, Vu, where he was teaching in Sher wood's summer school, removes a prominent figure from American musical circles. He was widely known as au organist and writer on musical topics, and had the aliility to make no little abiding fame for himself. Mr. Kabl Retteb has at last been allured from his Sunday rest by a satisfactory offer to become permanent organist of Calvary P, E. Chnrcli. East End. He has been playing there already for a few weeks, since the resignation of Miss Killlcelly, whose faitnrul labors for years past had given her a right to take well earned rest. The last appearance of Arthur Xlkisch as a conductor at Leipsic, prior to bis departure for this country, as at the lat concert of the Liszt Society, of that city, during which bis in terpretation of Liszt's "Faust Symphony" made a decided impression and evoked corn menu from the critics to the effect that in this wors Nikisch is unexcelled. Next tn this his direction ot Tosso" appears to have been the most effective. It is a pity that Manager Heinricbs and his New American Opera Company have run into the breakers in their summer season at Boston. Maybe financial backing can be got before the regular season opens again. Mr. Ad. Neuen dorrs promenade concerts, at Boston Music Hall, are also said to have come to grief. y hat's the matter with the Athens of Amer ica? Can the bean-eaters digest nothing lighter than symphonies? KunrssTini Verdi has formally and finally declined to countenance the jubilee celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of bis debut in lite as a "omposer, and hence the project of a scries of festival performances has been given up. Per contra, there Is to bo a mild celebra tion of the fiftieth anniversary of Anion Rubin stein's first appearance in public In St. Peters burg, on November SO prnx, this being, bow ever, the date of the musician's birth.

The municipality of Genoa has invited Fran chettl, ihe composer of '"Asrael." to write ah opera for the fourth centenary anniversary of the discovery of America, Columbus, of course, being the protagonist. Franchctti demands 35,. DUO -francs (S7.OU0) for the work; reservlnc' all rights. At least 11 operas have already been composed on the same subject: they were per formed as follows: In 1S19 at Rome, one by Fauns; In IKS, at Genoa (Morlacehl); tn 1830, at Parma (Rlcci brothers); in 1838, at ttarcellnna (Carnli e);ln 1840, at Parma Oangtorgi);m 1848, at Genoa (Gamblni); in 1848. at Berlin (Bar bieri); in IS57, at Verona (Mela);ml865,atHav ana (lioticinl). and at Nice (CasellaJ; tn ISO, atB.bia (Marcora). The death, a week or so ago, of Francis S. Saltus rings the following pretty tribute from the usually acrid pen of the Musical Courier "Raconteurr" " 'Alas, poor Yorickr So poor Frank, Saltus has crossed the silent nverl It ever there existed a brilliant, witty, audacious man of erratic genius it was Francis S. Saltus. Master of living and dead lan guages, royal 'epigrammatist, thinker in -realms of thought that others feared to tread, an imagination both lofty and tender, an ardent lover of Italian music and musicians, he will not soon bo for gotten. His knowledge of certain schools of music was enormous; the Donizetti lore, par example, he had at his finger tips, and he leaves behind him an exhaustive but nnpub l.s.ied lire of his favorite Italian master. Salins was the half brother or Edgar Saltus. the well known novelist, and received a most careful and cosmopolitan education, and as a young man was noted for his great personal beauty. Vale et requiescat in pace The annual meeting of thc'Musie Teachers' NationaljAssociatton, held last week at Phila delphia, seems to have been, as far as heard from at this writing, the most successful yet. These gatherings have become an invaluable opportunity for the exchange of Ideas, and courtesies anions teachers and the encourage ment of native composers. A pleasant feature last week was the address by Mr. Edward Chad field, of Derby. England, delegate from the National Society of Professional Mnslcians of Eugland. A wide range of topics was covered bv the various essays and discussions, while the concerts and recitals by some of the lust artists of the country gave an abundance of that practical demonstration which ia yet better than preaching. Plttsbure ers pesent were Messrs. Ad. M. Foerster. J. H. Gittir.e. Bevericlce Webster, and Frederick J. Bussiuan. Mr. Foerster was elected a member of the Committee on Examination of Ameilcan Compositions, and will next year help decide what works are to be honored with the place on the programme this year giveu to one of his own compositions. Mr. Glttines was chosen Chairman of the Board of Vice-Presidents, and in his position as Vice-President for Penniyl vania it said to be laj ing the ropes for organiz ing that Slate association of the music teach ers, which ought to have been had long ago. HIGH STHUCTURES VIBRATE. A Remarkable Peculiarity of All Tall Buildings. From the New York Telegram.l The attention of President Orr has been called to a remarkable peculiarity of the Produce Exchange tower. He was in formed that the tall structure vibrated per ceptibly whenever there was even a light wind, aud that a gale caused a decided sway ing motion. Some of the brokers were surprised when they learned that the tower did not stand firm, but Alfred E. Pearsall calmed them by saying that all tall structures had the same peculiarity. Any properly built wall will vibrate. " ' The tallest piece of masonry work in Denver has just been completed in the finish of the stack of the City Railway Building. This stack vibrates. When the large chimney was built at the Grant smeltei, in Denver.the men who were finishing it could just see the edge of the roof of some freight cars under the east wall of the building, and in order to demonstrate to friends they invited them up.arjd all who went aud lay 'down on the platiorni on the top, so they could not move their bodies, say that one moment they could see the edge of the car and the next they could not. There was little or no wind at the time, and yet the stack moved nearly five inches. But five inches only makes a bricklayer smile; 18 does not frighten him in the least. Another strange circumstance is the difference in the inside measurement of walls. An architect denies it, bat the car penters find the brick lays right. Suppose two walls, carried 110 feet high, 100 apart, should be erected. According to the plnsb bob each wall is perpendicular and as straight as a die, but it will take three inches more of lumber to build the roof than it did the first floor. Actually the walls are three inches wider on the inside at the top than at'the ground line, and contractors for high buildings also figure for it. Still, both wails are built straight skyward. The explanation is simple : The earth is round; the walls were started 100 feet apart, each built 110 feet high and straight. They are each on a diflereut portion of the globe, and are, thereiore, erected on entirely inde pendent angles, carrying them three'iuches apart, with no danger of falling, because they are held by gravitation. HE HAD HIS REASONS. A Demote Looking; Woman Who Kept Her Hnsband on the Watch. Detrot Free Press.! "I've had my bosses and wagon stole!" shouted an excited farmer as he rushed into police headquarters yesterday. "Where lrotn?" ".Bight out here on the square!" An officer was detailed to go with him and investigate, and as they reached the market the farmer said: "I left 'em right over there about 15 min utes ago." "There's a team around the corner there," replied the officer. "Did you have a woman with you?" "Yes my wife. Say, bygol! that's my rig as sure's you live!" "What's the matter, Sam?" asked the wife as they approached. "Though"t the rig was stole." "I just drove around to be in the shade." 'TougoolTthe handle pretty easily, I should say," observed the officer to the man. "Why didn't you look around a little?" "Sayl" said the man as he moved a few steps away, "I was a little hasty, but I have reasons for it That woman silting right there, humble and demure as she looks, has run away from me three times, and I'm ex pecting the fourth calamity every minit in the day. Go kinder light on me. She may skip me yit belore I git out o' town." EA'GLAKD'S RULE OF THE BOAD. Why Do They Keep to the Left While Other Countries Tnke the Right Ohio Valley Manufacturer.! " One curious minor application of rights and lefts is the rule of the road as it exists in England. How it arose I can't say, any more than I can say why a lady sits her side saddle to the left. Coachmen, to be sure, are quite unanimous that the leftward route enables them to see how close they are passing to another carriage; but, as all con tinental authority is equally convinced the other way, 1 make no doubt this is a mere illusion of long-continued custom. It is curious, however, that the English usage, haviug once obtained in these islands, has influenced railways, not only in Britain, but all over Europe. Trains, like carriages, go to the left when they pass; and this habit, quite natural in England, was transplanted try the early engineers to the continent, where ordinary carriages, of course, go to the right. In America, tojje sure, the trains also go right like the carriages; but, then, those Americans have such a curiously un English way of being strictly consistent and logical in their doings. In Britain we should have compromised the matter by go ing sometimes one way and sometimes tie other. A Frank Explanation. Clothier and Furnisher. . "Mr. Dashaway," said one -of the real lady boarders as she polished her plate with her napkin, "I hope you will pardon me for mentioning it, but we ladies have been remarking of late that yon never appear at the table twice wearing the same necktie." "The tact is, madanie," said Dashaway, as he glanced grimly at Mrs. Slimdirt, the landlady, must have some variety, . . . . , t - COMIC OPERA OF OLD. William H. Crane Writes of His Ex periences in Days of lore. SOME SHIFTS AND EXPEDIEKTS. They Had to Do Some Work for Their Sala ries in the'Sixties. HOW COMIC OPERA USED TO BE PLAIED The following characteristic letter from the well-known actor, William H. Crane, was recently received by a gentleman in this city, who had requested the comedian -io jot down a few reminiscences of old-time comic opera: You ask me to tell you what I can of my ex perience of comic opera, as it was played a quarter of a century ago. I caunot for the life of me conceive of what interest such reminis cences can be to any one; but that is your look out, and not mine; and, if you want reminis cences, you can have tbem at either retail or wholesale, with a considerable reduction on t-king a quantity. You see, that's the run. If I once begin to chronicle my smill-beer of ex perience I shall not know when to stop, and so' on your own bead be it. If I give you more than jou bargain for. I often think, when I hear my friends and . who, as you know, are tragedians, regretfully recalling, ax if their wont, the good old days of the legitimate drama (with a big, big D). that they seem to forget that the de spised comic opera comedian has also his days or the "legitimate" to recall with a feeling of pride or the reverse. 1 am not one of those who believe that the old order which has changed, giving place to the new. Is necessarily to be regretted; indeed, iny own impression Is that progress in matters theatrical is as admir able as in matters scientific and that we are very much better off to-day than we were in the "good old stock company days." Iir OLDEN TIMES. Just before I left New York I went with my wife to see the opening performance of Fran cis Wilson in "The Oolab," which, by the way, I rejoice to see has "caught on," as the phrase goes, and was not surprised to find myself con trasting the production, as a production, with those of the old "Oates Opera Company" days, when I was Mr. Crane, the basso, and used to send my voice down into my boots every night to my own huge gratification, audi trust not to the danger of my audience's nerves. When I saw the magnificent scenery, the profnsion of gorgeous dresses, the perfection ot detail, the limitless array of chorus and supernumeraries, and fuitber, when I reflected that the piece would probably be played night after night in New lork the summer through, and then would be seen on the road for several seasons, wagged m v head and moralized vt 1th exceeding comfort, that my lines were no longer cast in the places of long ago. In my day we used to have a repertory as long as my arm, and not only that, but we bad to play a new opera every night, an-1 sometimes more than one. For instance, I have often plaj ed in a f arce at the beginning of the even ing, in what we should now call a light opera, to follow, and a burlesque, or opera-boutfe, to end up with. Our choru was picked up In the town in which we played, as was our orchestra. Our scenery was the "stock" of the local tbea- ICI, dUU UU1 tWIUUICS OTll, CAIAWO I,bUVW sumptuous In thbse days, and we bad to provide our own. The result you can imagine. OhI but we worked for our wages in those days, I assnre you, though may be the public suffered. I have been looking over au old scrapbook to see whether I could refresh my memory, and among one ot the clip pings is a notice of an even ing's performance in Toronto, which began with the farce of "The Dead Shot," con tinued with a performance on the "musical goblets," went on with the bnrlesque extrava ganza of 'The Invisible Prince," incorporated a solo, which I regret to see was encored, by myself, and ended with the farce of "The Lim erick Boy," in which I appeared as JPaddy Miles. ONE EVENING'S WOES. Another bill recounts that on one evening, at Pike's Opera House in .. Cincinnati, I played in one evening Dr. Dulcamara in"L'Elisir d Amore," Handy Andy with songs, Irsh Jigs, and other playful trimmings, followed it by tle then popular minstrel song of '-Sally Come up" with a dance thrown in, and finished by enacting the clown in the closing pantomime. Not a bad evening's work for a rising young comedian, was it? But how much mere for their money in actual fact do people not get now-a-days, when quantity has give place to quality iu carefulness of pro duction. How could one devote carefull study to parts, when one had to play two or three in a night! Compare this record of a week with that of the modern actor's season. It is taken at bap hazard from my diary when playing with the Holmans: Monday "The Streets of New York," with mvself as Badger, and a farce: Tuesday "II Trovatore," in which I played Count at Luna, and "faddy Mile's Soy' with myself as Paddy. Wednesday "Rosedale," I playing Miles McKenna, and a farce. Thurs day "Faust," in which I played Mephislophe Us, and tn which Julia Holraan, "by request," introduced into the fair scene the then popular song, "Tassels on Her Boots." Friday "Kate Kearney," an Irish drama, and "La Somnam bula," and Saturday an opera, a farce and a pantomime. The mention of the pantomime reminds me tbat In ISM. when playing the clown In a pantomime. I rashly tried conclu sions with a gnn, which, to rav extreme discom fiture, was loaded. I fired it off by accident while looking down the muzzle and received the whole charge of powder full in my face. For some time I feared I would lose my eye nizht, and so thorongbly peppered was my face with grains of powder, which Imparted a bright cerulean tinge to it. that for a long time after when I was in Canada during their severe winters, friends would rush up to me on the street and begin to vigorously rub snow in my face, nnder the supposition that my nose was frost-bitten. SKIRMISHING- FOE COSTUMES. The shifts to which we were put for costumes were some times amusing, at least tbey seem so as I remember them now, though at the time, doubtless, we thought them embarrassing enough. It was a trifling matter to have to play "Blue Skin" In the same costume as one used the next night for a burlesque of "Rich ard 111." and so forth, but 1 remember Indi vidual members of the company being worse off than that Denman Thompson, for instance, when be played in the Old Boyal Lyceum in Toronto, in the sixties, was not quite so rich in this world's goods as I am delighted to say he l. now. The only wardrobe he was known to Possess was an old red waistcoat and a pair of rish knee-breeches. Even so clever an actor as Thompson could not "joke" with such a scant assortment as that, and so he managed to make out fairly well by requisitioning such minor articles of apparel as he needed from the other members of the company. Another member of the same company, whose name was Alfred Hudson, found him self in pressing need of some crepe-hair, with which, as you know, when it is teased out, the majority of staga whiskers are made. There was none In the theater and none could be pro cured on such short notice, so he took a paper of fine cut chewing tobacco, divided It into two portions, hurriedly rolled each of them Into the form of a side whisker, and pasted them on either side of his face. I doubt if auyone 'In front" bad the remotest idea of the true inwardness of Hudson's whiskers that night. When linear of the nnmerous chorusus arid orchestras attached to traveling organizations to-day, I often think tbat the report of the young midshipman on the manners and cus toms of tne South Sea Islanders. "Manners none and customs beastly," noula apply to the chorus and orchestra of my comic opera days. I have often sung a classic opera, such as "Faust," or "Somnambula." to an orchestra consisting of good Mrs. Hulman alone playing a cracked old piano, while as o the choruses, we used to sing tbetn at the wings, joining In with thoso an the stage, who afterward would act as chorus to us when we had to go on in our turn. They were a clever family, the Holmans, and despite what to-day we should consider its crudities, their company gave a vast amount of pleasure every year to thousands, Sallie In especial was a remarkable woman in her day. Her voice was better than Alice Oates', and in dramatic ability I think she was on a par with Maggie Mitchell, while her sprigbtliness and skill in dancing were equal to that of Lotta. Julia, too, was a delightful actress. Of the family of six, all are dead save Alfred and Mrs. Holman. A THEILIi OF PEIDE. But you ask me for the personal reminis cences of an interesting character. At first, I was inclined, like the needy knife grinder to retort, "Story! God blsss youl I've nonoto tell, sir!" and then on the contrary, when I began to look back, it seemed as though I could run on like Tennyson's brook forever. I remember the first time I saw my name on the bills, and'tbe thrill of conscious pride with which X surveyed the announcement of the forthcoming appearance of "The new basso prof undo, Master William." to which A..L. Writs, now of the New York Mercury, but then our manager, had addeil. "with a, voice singularly grand and effective! New York. Herald." J had never been in New York in my life, but I used to stand for halfaa iourin front of the bill boards and look at the him' ' .W T.rv v . ... f i -. U-3h llj' jsm'iM.- aiskz j..vt "Master Williim," and wonder 'if thepassers bv knew that I was the gifted being of whom the New York Herald had said "with a voice singularly grand and effective!" Nothing could equal my pride nd sense of importance for a time, though not long after that the basso prof unoo with the voice often assisted the leading baritone to deliver hand bills of the evening's performance. In more than one citv. which was not so large then as it is now. That wa when I was with the Hoi man's. Afterward I joined Alice Oates, whose organization conformed more to modern" Ideas, nut was still far from being the opera troupe of to-day. Jim Oates, her first husband' was a clever, though reckless fellow, who had a cer tain facility in taking hold or light comedies and dramas, writing in a little musicand with a change of name, such as "The Kings Se cret," in place of "Asmodeus'presentingthem as operas. He prided himself on what wecall in theatrical parlance his "music rue." That is, the bit of dialogue which Introduces a song in a supposedly natural manner. In The Child of the Regiment," for instance, Harry Allen, as Sergeant Sulpice, would say as the comedian (mvself) lert the stage: "Stupid fool I He never bandied a mmket. As for me. let me like a soldier fall !" and then the music would strike up, and he would sing that touch ing ditty to which he bad justreierred. In the same play, Mrs. Oates. after hir parting with Tonto. would say: "Poor Tonlo! He forgets the last tlme'we parted when I said, 'Goodby, sweetheart, goodbvl' " and then she would war ble the song. Charles Drew, in "The Flower Girl of Pans," would sav: "That man is now my bitterest enemy I He forgets the many happy moments we have passed together r' Music song "Happy Moments," and general satisfaction all around. But my days of comic opera were coming to an end. and in '71 1 joined Hooley's stock com pany In Chicago. The company Included James O'Neill, Nellie McHenry, Nate Salus bury, Harry Murdoch, Ed. Buckley, Loul-e Hawthorne, Mrs. Maeder and George Ryder. I was comedian, and Bartley Campbell was the dramatist of the theatre. We used to play all the New York successes, and I remember I played five lawyers In succession in as many different plays. But yon wanted comic opera reminiscences, did you not? and I have got to the end of my tetber. Yours ever faithfully, W.-H. CBANK. A BEAUTIFUL SOUVENIR And Price List Issued by a Leading Dealer.
