THE MUSIC WORLD.
A Mistaken View of the Capabilities
of the Pipe Organ,
THAT KIKG OP IKBTKUMBHTB.
No Lack of Taried Expression in Its
Harmonies.
GOSSIP ABOUT OUE LOCAL MUSICIANS
In the current issue of the Philadelphia
Musical Journal is commenced a series of
extracts from a book about to be published
by Dr. Hugh A. Clark, of the University of
Pennsylvania, under the title of "The
Scratch Club." Under the guise of in
formal discussion between the members of
an imaginary coterie of musicians, Dr.
Clark proposes to treat of a variety of musi
cal topics of an educational character. He'
starts off with a chat about the organ, which
is interesting enonjjh and to a certain ex
tent true enough, but which leaves as the
net result in the reader's mind a very one
sided view of the king of instruments!! The
keynote of the talk is sounded by the first
sueaker as follows:
"O, well, organ playing is doubtless a very
clet er thing, and a very difficult thing to do
well, but after all it is nothing but good ma
chinery; a machine would do it not only as
well as, but better than the best organist. With
all other instruments the case is quite differ
ent. They all respond more or less to the mood
of the players, the skillful use of the bow the
touch, the breath produce infinite varieties
atd shades of expression, But on the onran
you can but put down the key and the pipe will
bound, and e ery sound is just the same In
i me
pro-
a
"swell." In short, the organ has no expression.
Organists may complacently read the ac
knowledgment of the skill needful to over
come the difficulties of their instrument, but
they will be quite unable to concede that
the element of human mind, heart and soul
could be replaced in organ playing by any
mere mechanism however delicate and
idealy perfect The organ does respond in
its own way to the "mood of the player."
Bach musical instrument does this in its
own way. It is wrong to say of onex"it has
no expression," simply because its manner
oi expression differs from others.
Granted that the organ cannot produce a
portimento or slur, or modify pitch in less
degrees than by semitones; neither can the
piano. Nor can the piano give a sustained
tone with cresc. e dim. effect. The organ
can do this; but neither it nor the piano can
delicately modify the quality of a single
sustained tone. The violin family, being
able to produce all these effects, rank as the
most expres&ive oi instruments. The piano
surpasses the organ in the one point of being
able to give a more delicate shading to a
successiou of tones and to give different
shading to two or three phrases played at
the same time, lint the organ? more
than offsets this by the far greater
extent of its dynamio degrees (its
pianissimo being softer, its fortissimo
louder) and, especially, by the well-nigh
endless variety of its contrasting qualities
of tone. It is in tbe latter point that the
organ stands absolutely alone among instru
ments as well as in the inherent nobility
and dignity of its most characteristic species
of tone, the diapason. Adding to the points
named, the responsiveness of the organ to
different varieties of attack and phrasing,
and its capability for musical expression
and that in no Email degree is fully made
jout. "
' It is, therefore, manifestly unfair to limit
le field of organ plaving to the composi
ons of the old school or, as one of Dr.
'Iarke's interlocutors puts it, to Handel,
ach and Bink. It is on the other hand
nfair to expect the organ to reproduce
jtisfjetorily the effects of a full orchestra;
unfair to expect it to show even its own best
and distinctive qualities in compositions
& originally intended for some other instru
ment or combination of instruments. It is
a mistake for one speaker (evidently the
author's mouthpiece in the coterie
supposed to be discussing the subject)
to confine good organ music to, first,
"slow, massive successions of chords," and,
second, "the tangled; intricate devices of
contrapuntaljwriting, particularly fugues,"
and, above all, fugues destitute of the emo
tional element. It is even more of a mis
take for another of the speakers to see in the
alleged lack of expression in the organ "the
reason why the movements from symphonies
and sonatas, that organists so often play,
are so unsatisfactory to one who is familiar
with their effect when given by -the instru
ments for which they were written."
Maythe day never come when works of
the strict, old classical school are excluded
from tne pale of good organ music.
The day surely never will come
when the amount of true organ music is
so meager that transcriptions from other in
struments will be needed to eke it out.
Happily the organ yet retains all its pre
eminence in massive, dignified churchly mu
sic, and iu clear, symmetrical, contrapuntal
playing as well. And with the ad
vance of mechanical arts as applied
to this, most complex and intricate
rausi;al instrument, there has come a capa
bility for lighter, more delicate, more varied
and more emotional effects, which now are
juit as truly within the legitimate scope of
the instrument ot to-day as the chorale and
fugue were the legitimate field of Bach's
organ in the Thomas-Kirchc. But it is not
needful for the organist, wishing to show oil
the enlarged resources of his modern instru
ment, to wander out into the field of the
piano or of tbe orchestra. He can and
should find all possible opportunity
for this within the works of the
modern organ writers. The organist
of to-day who not only knows the venerable
classics, but has mastered as' well the com-'
positions of Mendelssohn and his German
successors, of Smart and his English follow
er, of Guilmart and his French cotempor
aries, will have no difficulty iu demonstrat
ing that the organ has ample and varied
powers of expression among the multitude
of qualities that have crowned it king of
instruments.
The difficulties lately arising in San Fran
cisco through the mesalliance of musical
and trades unions have already been alluded
to in this column. The whole story, as
briefly told by the American Musician last
week, contains food for serious reflection on
the part of both of the local musical unions
just at this time. The story is as follows:
The evil results of tbe affiliation of profes
sional musicians with labor organizations have
just been made manifest in a most disagreeable
way In ban Francisco. On the Fourth of July
last, the members of the First, Second and
Xhird Regimental bands refused to report for
-duty and turn out with their respective regi
ments, because the Confederated Trades As-
ecuiuiy na oruereu tne Musicians' Union
to order its members not to parade. Tfce first
objection raised was the payment of less than
the union rate; but when guaranteed the full
pay demanded, they still refused because non
union bands were employed In the civic part of
the parade. The men were warned of the evil
consequences likely to result from their in
subordlnatlRSut still persisted in It. All the
members of the retfmpntal hands rftvrant r.
who reported for duty), about 75 In number, H
were placed under arrest, a court martial I
.. tra.cntu, anu me nrs; to be tried was
Isaac C. Cogginl and H. O. Kropp, leaders of
the Second and Third Regimental Bands re
spectively. Both were convicted of mutiny
and disobedience of orders, fined S50 each and
dishonorably dismissed from the National
G aard of California. As these were test cases,
a similar conviction and sentence awaits all the
other Indicted bandsmen. This Is a terrible
price to pav for obeying the orders or the Con
federated Trades In lirifAiifAtnthal.iM r
the State, but there is one way. and only one. in
which tbe Musicians' Union can extricate the
victims from the trap into which they were led
by IU unwise counsels, and that is a duty whicb
It owes, not only to tbe victims, but to the
reputation of the members of the Union as
law-abiding citizens. It is, besides, the only
way in which the citizens of California can be
made to believe that the Musicians' Union is
cot gin sympathy with or governed by tbe
advocates of a reign of terror in
stead of law in Han Francisco. That
duty is to at once withdraw Iu
leprcscnutires from the Confederated Trades,
and dissolve IU connection with that organized
mountain of mischief. An effort is faring ma.i.
to secure a pardon from the Governor of Cali
fornia for tho mutinous musicians, and tbe
members ot tho Musicians' Union have It in
their power to secure that result; by calling a
special meeting and vindicating the honor of
the society by withdrawing from tho confeder
ated strikers.
Crotchets nnd Quaver.
Mb. Ciiam.es "W. A. Tbumm.kb, for SO
Scars manager of J. Ej Ditson's Philadelphia
ouse, died on the 7th Inst.
Mb. Cabi. Retted, tbe well-known con
ductor, ot Pittsburg, has been enjoying the
music at Brighton Beach, where be has been
visiting his friend Anton Seidl. Musical
Courier. '
The widow of Henri Herx has offered to the
Paris Conservatory an annual prise of 300
francs, secured by a" funded capital. This prize
is destined for the Iadv pupil who shall each
year obtain the first prize in the class of piano
forte directed by her late husband.
The Hamburg music festival is announced
to take place on September 9,11 and 18. Dr.
Hans von Bulow will direct and will also ap
pear as pianist; he will play the Beethoven E
fiat concerto. The orchestra will number ISO
and tbe chorus 400.
As elaborate and most successful surprise
party was arranged by friends to celebrate the
wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. J. Sharp
McDonald, at tbelr Sewickley noma last Fri
day evening. The best of the affair was the
genuineness of the surprise to the couple thus
honored.
Mb. Sam M. Bbown was yesterday sum
moned to Alliance on account of a change for
the worse in the condition of his wife, who has
been quite ill at her old home for some weeks.
Many musical friends who remember in Mrs.
Brown the highly esteemed soprano. Miss Gay
Snyder, will join In hearty wishes Xor her
speeuy recovery.
KoMjtLDi. Manager Foster, of tho Boston
Ideal Opera Company, cables from Paris to a
friend in this city that he has secured the ser
vices of Miss Emma Xlomeldi to divide leading
roles with Pauline L'Allemand. Miss Bomeldi
was formerly with the Milan Opera Company,
and has met with great success in Europe tor
tbe last three years.
Musical, circles share with every other high
er interest of the community in the shock and
sense of loss at the announcement of Mr. Wil
liam ThawB death, which occurred
at Paris yesterday morning. He was
a member of tbe Art Society al
most from Its commencement and a
frequent attendant at its receptions. Indeed,
musical entertainments of the higher class
were among the very few recreations that en
tered into that remarkably active, busy life.
Public-spirited musical enterprises could al
ways count on liberal support from Mr. Thaw,
and many a deserving student ot the art has
been quirtly helped along by his large-hearted,
unostentatious generosity.
Tbe Gloucester musical festival will open
on Tuesday, September 3, and close on the fol
lowing Friday. The principal vocalists en
gaged are Albani, Mrs. Ambler Brereton, Miss
Anna Williams. Miss Hilda Wilson and

raise funds for the benefit of the widows and
orphans of the poorer clergy within tbe
dioceses of Gloucester, Worcester and Here
ford. Aided by the Diocesan Clerical Chari
ties tbe proceeds have of late years averaged
to each widow 37 and to each orphan 28.
LONG DISTANCE TELEPHONING.
Terr Successful Tests Itlndo on a Line Be
tween Cblcngo nnd Mllivniilcee.
Chicago, August 17. The operation of
the long distance telephone system west of
Xew York State "was successfully inau
gurated here to-day, the South American
Telephone and Telegraph Company (long
distance telephone company) formally open
ing its lines between Chicago and Milwau
kee. The tests made were of a character
to illustrate the great improvements that
have been made in the art of telephony, par
ticularly the utilization of complete metal
lic circuits. Bepresentatives of the press
and a nnmber of bnsiness men were among
those who tested the lines and expressed
themselves as being highly pleasedwith the
results attained. A whisper conid easily be
heard between Chicago and Milkaukee over
the metallic circuits.
Tests were also made with ground circuit
(single wire) li tea of subscribers in Chicago
and Milwaukee, connecting the ground cir
cuits in each exchange with the metallic
circuit lines between the exchanges. "While
the result of this connection was good, it
wasmade evident that for successful long
distance talking metallic circuits were
necessary. The lines between Milwaukee
and Chicago are the beginning of the work
of the lone distance company in the "West,
with the probability, from the favorable re
ception met with to-day, of an immediate
extension to New York, thereby uniting
with the elaborate system in the East.
EAILEOAD TAXATION
Occupies the Attention of the North Dakota
Constitutional Convention.
Bismabck, N. D., August 17. All of
this afternoon was passed in considering the
section providing a system of railroad taxa
tion. The Convention previously adopted
the section providing that all property shall
be taxed alike. To-day the advocates
of the gross earnings system, which,
is favored by the railroadsxarried a motion
to reconsider the section and after one of the
bitterest fights of the session they succeeded
in so amending that the Legislature may
provide for a gross earnings tax on all prop
erty used exclusively in the operation of the
road.
Wallace, of Steele, who was opposed to
the amendment, endeavored to talk against
time, but weakened after holding the floor
for an hour. At to-night's session the re
port of the Committee on Engrossment will
be received and the Constitution as a whole
adopted. In all probability the convention
will adjourn sine die before 12 o'clock.
AUTISTIC SINGING.
Tbe Howard Method.
Mr. John Howard, of New York City,
originator of the Howard method and au
thor of the Physiology of Artistic Singing,
will, it is understood, teach in Pittsburg
during the next six weeks, commencing to
morrow. Mr. Howard claims not only abetter
mode but asserts with absolute confidence
that he has the only method which proceeds
with certainty. Several exact efforts of the
tongue, palate and throat must be combined
to produce the artistic singing tone; certain
efforts, nesrly always habitual, must be cor
rected. The method is not n complicated
one, but simple in the extreme, for only
a half dozen efforts, no more, are to be mas
tered, only two faulty ones checked.
Besides this advantage of certainty, an
other merit is the enormous saving of time.
Confessedly, the first few lessons from three
to six are dull, but the new power of tone,
the absence of straining, and, above all, the
delightful quality of the new singing voice,
are found to be ample recompense for the
work, when etudes, songs and arias are next
studied.
Mr. Howard advises the plan of giving to
each pupil daily lessons, and to lavor this
will place his terms for regular lessons much
below his New York rates. Pupils may
begin or stop at any lesson, but are urged to
take a lesson each day so long as their study
continues, xnis pian nas been found to
give most remarkable results. A lew weeks'
application will develop the voice more than
a whole year's study by non-phvsiological
methods.
As much study has been given to phrasing
and expression as to the posing of the voice.
This study usually begins at the fourth or
fifth lesson, with song or aria.
Last autumn many of our best vocalists
studied with Mr. Howard. He is allowed
to refer to his pupils Mrs. Jean Wallace
Webster, Miss Bosa Weber, Mr. Boss
Drum, Mr. J. M. Bullock, Mr. Bichard
Cannon and many others. His studio will
be most conveniently located, at 720 Penn

A LOST OPPORTUNITY.
Irish Members of .Parliament, by
Being Absent From Their Seats,
EARN A LECTURE FROM PARNELL
Fifteen or Twenty Mora Yotes Would Have
Beaten the Government.
NO WELCOME FOE YICTOfilA IU WALES
1BT CABLE TO TBJC DISPATCn.!
London-, August 17. Copyright. The
summer solstice is upon London, and she is
deserted of all who can fly from her. To be
seen in the streets, unless in traveling cos
tume, as if one were hurrying through, is to
confess one's self not of the monde, unless
indeed Parliament is the detaining in
fluence. The hopeless legislators consider
their lot a hard one.
On Monday the grouse shooting season
began, and the thoughts of the Lords and
Commons tied down to the benches of St.
Stephen's were ot the faraway moors, where
guns were cracking and birds were falling
all week. Not all of the statesmen resisted
the temptation to inaugurate the grouse
season, either, and the attendance in Parlia
ment has been very slim.
The Irish members, however, have been
very regular in their attendance since Mon
day. On that day 20 Irish members were
ABSENT WITHOUT EXCUSE.
besides four in prison, 4 sick, and 4
abroad. Parnell called a meeting of the
party in the evening, and gave it a stirring
up it will not soon forget, as, by the dila
toriness of the absent 20, the opportunity
was lost of defeating the Welsh tithes bill
and inflicting a serious injury upon the
Government He detailed the efforts he had
made to secure a full attendance in antici
pation of catching the Government napping,
with more heat than he often displays, and
particularly complimented William and
Patrick O'Brien, who had come post haste
from remote parts of Ireland, in the face of
dangers and difficulties, to answer his sum
mons. He pointed out that in tbe first division
the Government only secured a majority of
18, and that 20 members of the Irish party
were absent, so far as he knew, without
reasonable excuse, and if these members
had been present, the Government would
have been defeated by a majority of two.
With regard to the second division, in
which the Government only secured a
majority of four, he showed that 15 mem
bers of the party were absent, and that if
they had been present the defeat of the
Government could have been secured by
11 votes. In the third division there were
also 15 Irish members unaccounted for,
who, if they had been present, would have
enabled tbe party to defeat the Government
by two votes.
rXTLI, OF EXCUSES.
On Tuesday the missing men were all in
their places, and full of excuses and apolo
gies, and the Government whip was at once
issued to call back the Conservatives from
their game preserves. Those who answered
the whip were so an cry at being disturbed.
and so indignant at the ministers for chang
ing the bill, that many of them voted
against it, so that the ministry is not wear
ing a halo of glory at present.
Practically, they are beaten. They nar
rowly escaped defeat on two or three occa
sions, and on the last occasion, seeing that
they were outnumbered, they crave way en
tirely on one of the most essential clauses of
the bill. This, of course, ruffled the men
who had hitherto stuck to the bill, and the
distracted ministers were jeered at from
every side.'
Mr. Smith announced that he would bring
in a bill embodying the new clauses, and
then Mr. Speaker, who noticed something
like a wink in the Tory leader's eye,
stated that it could not be taken, as it was
practically a new bilL Thus the whole
question is thrown over until next session.
VICTORIA AHJ THE "WELSH.
Queen Victoria, by the way, is going
down to Wales in a few davs, and up to a
week ago it seemed that the usual loyal
greetings would extend to her. Now, how
ever, there is some doubt as to that, "Wales
is the hotbed of the disestablishment move
ment Wars for the recovery of tithes have
always been more bitter there than in any
other part of the kingdom.
The rancour attending the discussion of
the tithe question in the House of Commons
seems to have inflamed the minds of the
fiery Welshmen, for one of the prominent
bards of that people, a certain Tom Gee, of
Denbigh, tells the Queen pretty plainly, in
a little paper he publishes, called The Ban
ner, that she, as the head of the established
church, is the cause of all their woes, in
cluding the tithe troubles; that she is the one
stumbling block in the way of redresa, and
that if she escapes being hissed out of
wales she may think herself Incky.
This was a bombshell. Tho authorities
have been up in arms ever since, and talk
very large about prosecnting the bard, but
unfortunately for the Queen there are too
many Welshmen of the bard's way of think
ing, and legal proceedings might lead to a
riot, therefore the notion arrived at is to
ignore Tom Gee. The trouble is that Mr.
Gee and his followers may not ignore the
Queen altogether.
