IFO UTILIZE THE EXPO,
iPopTilar Concerts Could Iq
Handily Instituted.
JOFFICIALS TAIK IN FAVOB
fOf Having Both Winter and Summer
Concerts.
.
Public opinion all powerful.
Down on the rirer front stands a huge
building which, frith shut doors and frown
ing exterior, marks the spot where Pitts
burg's first Exposition was made a howling
success by the earnest efforts of her best
citizens. The main building was closed on
October 17 and bids fair to remain so until
the fourth of next September, when the
second Exposition is to open.
The Dispatch believes that that grand
and roomy edifice is but poorly subserving
a distinct purpose in the advancement of a
great community like this when its period
of use by the public is 40 days out of 365.
There stands a naked building; now to
clothe it with an idea of usefulness; to de
vise some plan whereby the public can get
some distinct and decided good out .of so
spacious a hall.
"Popular Concerts" are the happy thought
under the circumstances. Music is an edu
cator, and upon no project can rich and poor
meet upon a common ground so happily and
with results so productive of gooa to the
many.
With the above plan as a somewhat vague
basis vague as to the possibility of whether
the concerts can be summer or winter a
number of gentlemen have been sought out
and requested to outline their opinions.The
distinctly favorable views entertained indi
cate a popular indorsement of the plan. And
the columns of The Dispatch are open to
those who have any suggestions to oiler.
"WHAT PBESIDENT NABVHT SATS.
President S. S. Marvin, of the Exposition
Society, was seen. "When The Dispatch
reporter announced his mission, Mr. Marvin
said: "I think that the ideaof popularcon
sertsjfor the benefit of the masses is an excel
lent one and a most laudable enterprise.
The only bar to it no w is the fact that there
is no means of heating the building. It
would cost considerable money to put in
heating apparatus, probably about $5,000.
My idea would be to heat the buildiDg by
steam coiled pipes. "We could not put in
enough ljf-inch pipe to make the place
comfortable for less than $5,000. There is
.no reason why we should not have popular
concerts in the building. When the Expo
sition plan was proposed, it was stated that
when not being used as an Exposition it was
to be a music hall. There is no reason now
why we should not utilize the place instead
of allowing the building to stand idle. The
1,200 members of the society are expecting
something in the music line, and they will
get it very shortly I think.
"Would you confine the concerts to local
talent?"
"No, sir. I would not, unless the local
talent is the best in the world. I would
constitute the concerts of the very best talent
obtainable. The attractions I would get
would be the best that money could procure.
At popular prices which would surely draw
big crowds the scheme would pay" hand
somely. The acoustics of the building are
everything that could be desired.
the pbopee thing to do.
"1 think the proper thing, however, to do
is the agitation of the erection of a music
hall in connection with the exposition
building. The hall could be used during
the 40 days of the Exposition for Exposition
purposes. The balance of the time it could
--trs-nstdbrconcerts, meetings, etc.
"We very seldom get any good music here.
-The large opera companies start out at New
XorE. Alter playing an engagement mere
the ."i.ies sometimes split up. One
section il go to Boston and New England
and then westward without touching Pitts
burg. Another crowd will come to this city
after playing in Philadelphia. A third
section will go to Baltimore and take in
Cincinnati and St Louis. They all come
together in Chicago, and the people there
are given a first-class festival. If we had a
good hall here this city would be a hall-way
stopping place for all the large companies
going from New Xork to Chicago and re
turn. When they came they wonld
stay at least a week and we would get some
thing in the music line worth listening to.
Instead of that we now get everything piece
meal. If we could get the ground from the
city this would be an incentive to erect a
building with all appurtenances, etc The
building would cost with fixtures, etc,
about 5300,000."
-rOPULAB PBICES ADVOCATED.
J'What should be the price of admission
to the concerts, in your opinion?"
"I would not charge more than 25 cents.
This would give everybody a chance to hear
the music. I would run the concert one
weekVith vocal and the next instrumental
music or perhaps combined occasionally.
We wouldsliave a season of good local tal-
' ent and then give a first-class festival.
.. "We are now on the eve of a State Con
vention. If we had the music hall built
''the convention could be secured for this
. city. There is not a hall in the State that
' would hold as many people as the one we
propose to build. It would be an induce
ment for the people of Ohio to hold their
Diaie lanvenuon in jrinsourg. we are
nearer to a great many counties in Ohio than
Cincinnati is. Look at the present music
ball over the market house The idea of
sitting over beefsteaks takes the flavor from
the music Think of those straight stairs.
.Every time I get in the place I am afraid
itbat some accident may happen and the
-people will be unable to get out of
the Duiiaing. xne only rente is by
the stairs, and should a panic ever take
place there we would witness a repetition of
the recent Johnstown horror. The Idea of
'local popular concerts has the svmcathv and
'rapport of everv member of the Board nf
ruirecwro ui iuc .cipusiuon society, wno
will continue to ao everything in their power
to elevate the tastes of the people of the
city."
rEANZ XOH2IAX XX SniPATHY.
Prof. F. Xohnun, the able musical di
rector, said: "I do not think the present
Exposition bnilding would answer the pur
pose I think the idea is a good one, and
will lave the support of everybody who
loves music 1 do not think, however, that
the Concerts can be given successfully until
a music hall is erected. I was the first man
in the city to agitate the concert idea in the
Exposition building before it was erected.
Had it been built according to my ideas
we would have had a good place
lor concerts. My scheme was to -arrange
the place so that it could
be made a resort during the summer. With
a scattering of ferns, potted plants, etc,
throughout the building it would give it an
appearance of a summer garden. I wanted
the gallery to be reserved for persons who
could afford to pay more than 25 cents. The
first floor was to be for the ocenpancy of the
middle classes, who could easily afford to
pay 25 cents for several hours of good
music In the summer time the concerts
conld be given in the afternoon and
evenings. Dnring the winter season the
building could be heated Jby steam and the
concerts given every evening.
"With the present building I do not
think that a large concert would be much
of a success from.a musical standpoint A
music hall conld be bnilt in this city with
out much trouble. If we had the hall we
could hold musical festivals that would
compare favorably with anything given in
'this country. I would not want to run the
concerts exclusively with home talent Oc-
jcuionally I wpuld like to see some of the
great artists brought here, and the publIo
afforded an opportunity to hear them."
D. C. HEEBST COINCIDES.
D. C Herbst, one of the directors of the
Exposition, coincides with the -views of
President Marvin. He says the building
could be heated at -an expense of less than
f 1,000. In his interview he said:
"It was always my idea to have entertain
ments given in the Exposition building.
That is what it was built for. It would not
be a hard matter to heat the building. We
have introduced in this city natural gas
stoves that need no chimneys. With-the
gas the combustion is so perfect that no
vitiated air remains in a room where there
is no chimney. If we had to heat the build
ing with coal stoves it would take a great
many to do the business. With natural gas
stoves the place could be warmed in
the coldest weather. I would be glad
to see a series of popular con
certs given this winter. Looking
only at the moral side it would be a great
thing. It would keep young men ont of
poolrooms and saloons and young girls from
running to cheap dauces. The young people
need some amusement, and if they cannot
get it one way they will get it another. , If
the scheme was Inaugurated and the price
of admission be placed at 25 cents, I think
many of these dance halls would have to
close up. The concerts would give the peo
ple a healthy resort to go to. There is not
the least doubt but that the idea would be
come immediately popular. There is no
use allowing the buildings to stand there in
idleness while they could be used to advan
tage for the betterment of the people When
the Exposition buildings were erected it was
not the intention to have them used exclu
sively for exposition purposes. The society
wants a music hall, but the question is how
are we going" to get it?
"When Conductor Innes, of New York,
went away I asked him if he would come
back during the winter if we wanted him.
He said he was ready to play for the people
of Pittsburg at any time. Now, if we could
bring him back and give another week of
brass and reed music, would it not be a treat
for the people? After having Innes and
his band I would have a vocal concert
Then run in one of our local bands for a few
nights. This idea is carried out in other
cities in this country, and there is no reason
why it could not be done here. In Europe
every little town has its music hall, where
the people gather and hear music that is
beneficial to their systems after working
hard all day. I have been over a good por
tion of the globe, and I do not know of any
town where people have more getup in them
than the residents of Pittsburg. When this
concert idea is started by The Dispatch I
am sure it will be productive or good. It
will have the support of all the directors
and most of the members of the Exposition
Society."
THE MOZAET DIRECTOR.
Prof. J. P. McCollum, director of the
Mozart Club, thinks the concerts would not
be a musical success on account of the main
building being too large He said:
"I am heartily in favor of giving popular
concerts, but if vocal music is intended I do
not think the Exposition building is the
proper place. Eor orchestral or brass music
the hall is all right Eor home talent the
place is too big and is not adapted for solo
singing. To give a first-class concert I do
not think any artists can be found anywhere
who will fill that place The hall could
be remodeled by dividing it in
half. If one-half was partitioned
off and the concert held in either half of the
building it would be a success. A hall that
holds over 3,000 is a poor one for singing.
The Exposition building could only
be adapted for concerts by the
expenditure of a large sum of
money. I am in favor of e very-day concerts,
but to be a success they must be held in a
suitable hall. I understand the music hall
the Exposition Society intends to build will
hold 7,000 people I do not know what
they will do with it when it is completed.
Wfien you crowd 2,500 or 3,000 people into
a building to hear a concert you get nearly
every one who. wants to go on that night I
hope the thing will be a success. The music
lovers would be heartily in favor of it"
MANY PLANS FEASIBLE.
In the summing up of points in favor of
the plan of winter and summer concerts, it
must not be forgotten that the musicians of
Pittsburg and -Allegheny would form a
powerful nucleus. The massing of fairly
expert orchestral players, who, with assidu
ous rehearsals, would not do injustice to
either the best popular or the mildly classi
cal music, would result in an orchestra
equal in size and far more provocative of
interest than the great orchestras which
visit here But the professional musicians,
who wonld of necessity have to be included,
would mostly be available for afternoon
concerts on account of evening engage
ments. What Pittsburg's brass musicians can do
when harmoniously brought together has
been several times shown. Notably at the
occasion of the M. M. P. TJ. picnic at Boss
Grove 'last summer a year ago. Over 200
players were concentrated in one band and
marched through the city making the at
mosphere resound with inspiring melody.
Inside such a building as the main Exposi
tion Hall, the band would tear the lining
out of things.
PITTSBUBG'S VOCAL CONTINGENT.
The possibilities of a successful combina
tion of the local singers were vividly Bhown
at the recent May festival, at which a mag
nificentchorus handled with consummate ease
such powerful and intricate compositions as
Saint Saen's "The Deluge;" Beethoven's
"Ninth Symphony;" excerpts from Wag
ner's best works; all with marked success.
In fact, the Pittsburg singers scored a great
point in succeeding with the "Ninth Sym
phony" alter four months' practice, where
the singers of Cincinnati went to pieces
after a year's study.
Such vocal ability applied to the oratorios
which are always popular and the stan
dard cantatas, glees and choruses, scores of
which would be wholly new and novel in
Pittsburg, would.be sure to achieve suc
cess. The combination between local sing
ers and the crack orchestras of the East has
been accomplished with good results by the
Mozart Club and the Boston Symphony Or
chestra. FINANCIAL MATTERS.
It may be that the money for the heating
of the Exposition building may at present
seem not forthcoming, as the plan of popu
lar concerts hardly lies within the scope of
the Exposition Society. Bnt the discussion
of the plan may evolve some ways and
means. In an interview published in The
Dispatch, it will be remembered that Mr.
Carnegie, just returned from Europe, re
marked that if the musicians of Pittsburg
would become as harmonious in their rela
tions as they were in their productions, he
might feel tempted to play patron saint in
several ways. The remark stirred up a
great many people who went to some pains
to show how poorly the shoe fitted them.
Nevertheless, the steel king meant what he
said, as may be demonstrated before the
twin cities are much older.

PE0TECTI0N FOE THE PUBLIC SCHOOL
Stephen Collins, Superintendent of Mails
in this city,and State Vice Councillor ot the
Jr. O. TJ. A. M. of Pennsylvania, returned
yesterday from New York, where he had
been attending a meeting ot representatives
of the various American societies and orders
in the United States. The meeting was
attended by some of the foremost men in the
American movement, men who hare given
years of thought and work to the subject
Mr. Collins, when interviewed yesterday,
said:
"There are 41 different organizations in
the United States at the present time, all
organized for practically the same objects,
though varying in many respects. The most
important or prime object of all is the re
striction of immigration. Some are
further identified with the movement to
protect and maintain the public school sys

therewith. Some are aroused over the re
cent movement of fo'reign capitalists to con

country. English syndicates are purchas

the chief breweries of many large cities, the
principal tanneries of New York State, and

Thlrty-FlTo Dollars Per Day to be Paid by
the Traction Company.
The Pittsburg, Allegheny and Manchester
Traction Company has at last decided to
run its cable cars over the Suspension
bridge. They have made an arrangement
with the bridge company, and will ay
$12,000 per year toll. This will amount to
over $35 per day for the privilege of run
sing the cars over the bridge.
At a meeting of the committees of the
traction and bridge companies yesterday the
matter was satisfactorily settled. The plans
of the bridge company lor the improvement
of the structure were exhibited. It was
stated that the company would extend the
piers of the bridge and build two additional
tracks for the grip cars. The new structure,
when completed, will be what is known as a
trotting bridge. The cost of the improve
ment will be about $160,000. A meeting of
the directors of the bridge company will be
held within a few days to ratify the action
of their committee. It is said the toll to be
paid by the traction company is over 7 per
cent of the cost of the bridge.
ETEEI INCH A MAN.
Rev. CE. Locke Defines Somo of the Requi
sites Pertaining to Manhood.
Bev. Charles Edward Locke delivered a
lecture last evening in the Smithfield Street
Church before a large audience, his subject
being "Every Inch a Man." He described
the qualities required to form the ideal man
who should be able to meet the issues of the
next SO years. That man, Mr. Locke said,
should be a specialist, a philanthropist, in
dustrious, radical and learned. It mattered
not whether he were white or black. The
speaker said that he was fond of the negro
race. He,believed that it was either a great
race degenerated, or a great race in embryo.
It would not matter either whether "the
ideal man" should be a man or a woman.
He believed that women could hold their
places with men in all the advanced work
of the world. The last and highestrequi
site of the ideal man must be, he said, spirit
uality. HE ADMITTED TAKING HONEY.

Last night Messrs. Beltzhoover and Fox
decided to gratify all curiosity by explain

while the faces of Grover Cleveland and
other apostles ot Democracy, looking out of
their frames on the wall, would serve to re-,

County Democraoy seek to proselyte.
Grover's portrait looks serenely on Rev.
Townsend, as he expounds the oracles of
wisdom.
When the proposition of the Unitarian
Society was submitted to the club, there
were two or three kickers, but the general
sentiment was in favor, and on motion it
was made unanimous, after the suggestion
was submitted that a good Democrat ought
on Sunday morning to be either at home
with his family or at church, and had no
need of the club room at that time.
Mr. Fox said: "You can state that while

people, who knowing him to be a red-hot
tariff man, took occasion to guy him at fre
quent intervals. Mr. Woods contended
that Mr. Carnegie's utterances possessed no
significance whatever; that he only said
what any gentleman might be expected to
say, and that to have referred to the ex
President in any other manner would be boor
ish and that Mr. Carnegie was not a boor.
Mr. Woods defied anyone to point out amy
thing in Mr. Carnegie'i reported remarks
that even squinted toward a divergence in
his views from the doctrines of the Repub
lican party.
A TIGDEE OF SPEECH.
He contended that the suggestion that one
thing that might be done with ex-Presidents
was to run them again contained nothing
either significant or improper, nor, of pos
sible disloyalty to the Bepublican party, as
no one had a right to find fault with any
one else who might wish to run ex-President
Cleveland again.
The matter was informally discussed last
night at the rooms of the County Democ
racy, and it seemed to be a tolerably general
belief that Mr. Carnegie might be in favor
of tariff reduction. There was quite a
sprinkling of Democrats present, and some
seemed to treat the matter with indifference,
while others thought the utterance possessed
significance. Among those noticed were
Councilmen Carr and Mullen, County Com
missioner Mc Williams, Harry Beltzhoover,
and the crowd generally that congregates
there a part of almost every evening.
A'PABTISAX INSINUATION'.
Mr. T. O'Brien suggested that Mr. Car
negie may not have gotten something that
he wanted from the Harrison administra
tion, but the general view seemed to be that
Mr. Carneeie had made enough money to be
clear of the ills that beset weaker manu
facturers; that he had made enough money
to be able to fight for a market .in any part
of the world, and with the tariff taken off
raw material might so cripple weak firms,
especially those struggling to get on their
feet in the South, as to prevent their compe
tition. G. H. Stengel, Esq., thought it logical
for Mr. Carnegie to lean toward a reduction
of duties. He had gotten in a plane from
which, with free raw material, he could
make goods for any market in the world.
SOME OTHER OPINIONS.
City Controller Morrow said of Mr. Car
negie's speech: ''It means nothing. It was
simply an after-dinner compliment I have
talked with a good many persons about'it,
and that is the general opinion."
. Mayor McCallin said: "I don'tknow what
it means. I was surprised when I read it.
I thought he must have changed his poli
tics." Postmaster Larkin said: "I don't know
what significance to attach to it. It was
probably only an after dinner compliment"
President Weihe, of the A. A. of I. and
S. Workers; President Smith, of the A. F.
G. W. Union, and Editor John Ehman were
asked yesterday to express their ideas
upon the matter. They thought
that Mr. Carnegie was re-echoing
or playing upon Mr. Cleveland's remarks
on a late occasion in.New York when al
lusions were made in the same strain, and
that he did hot mean anything in the direc
tion of booming Cleveland for '92. None of
those seen had- supposed for a moment that
Mr. Carnegie had departed from his firmly
grounded protective principles, and they re
gard the suggestion as to Cleveland's run
ning again as a post-prandial compliment
largely seasoned with dry Scotch humor.
SOUTHSIDE GENTLEMEN TALK.
T. B. Atterhury, of Atterbury & Co.,
said: "I attach no significance whatever to
the remark. I regard the matter as a com
plimentary joke. Mr. Carnegie was in a
position where he was compelled to say
something pleasant about Mr.-Cleveland,
and I suppose he thought that was the
nicest thing to say."
J. B. Dilworth, of Dilworth, Porter &
Co., said: "I fancy that Mr Andrew Car
negie thought that if Mr. Cleveland was
nominated for re-election by the Democrats,
it would be the best thing that conld be
done for the Republicans. Mr. Carnegie
never meant that he indorsed Mr. Cleve
land with all his free trade ideas for Presi
dent" 'SQUIBE SHAFEB INCBEDTTLOUS.
J. M. Shafer. of the Bepublican County
Committee, said: "I have not read Mr.
Carnegie's remarks, but I am satisfied he
has either been misquoted or his remarks
were a nice little compliment which he felt
under obligation to pay to Mr. Cleveland.
I don't take any stock in these after-dinner
speeches, anyway."
W. H. Cassidy, of the Oliver & Boberts
Wire Company, said: "1 don't think Mr.
Carnegie has any reason to be very partial
to Mr. Cleveland after his message of 1887.
It is to Mr. Carnegie's interest to be a pro
tectionist, and I am not worried mnch over
the reports that he meditates flopping for
Cleveland."

A Reliable Asssrance of a Plan to Caarp the
Lawrtnco Bank With a National Institu
tion Big Money Raised.
A prominent gentleman in LawrenceviUe
told a Dispatch reporter last night that a
number of moneyed men in the district were
organizing a company, with 200,000 capital
to start a national bank. The men inter
ested in the scheme are working quietly,
and there object is to secure the building of
the collapsed Lawrence Bank in which to
operate the national bank.
It is thought that a good, stronj bank,
governed by correct financial principles,
would soon be able to amass a fortune. The
building of the Lawrence Bank is contig
uous to Bloomfield, LawrenceviUe, Tenth
and Twelfth wards. No bank is within
easy reach of any of theae points now, and
this new company is certain that a big busi-,
ness can be done.
However, the company which is organ
izing for the purpose of starting a national
bank, does not intend to move in the mat
ter of acquiring the property; yet They
will meet to subscribe sufficient capital.
Whenever the present owners are ready to
vacate the building; or if itcomes under the
hammer, they will be ready to purchase it,
and immediately apply for a charter and
initiate the newventnre.
Nothing new transpired in connection
with the defunct bank. The officials were
hard at work during the day fixing up the
various books. No new development oc
curred on the part of the depositors, and
things in the neighborhood ore about nor
mal. FRITZ STREET PEOPLE HOT.
Councilman Carr lias Promised to Stir the
Blatter of Obstractloa.
The people who live on Fritz street,
Twenty-seventh ward, are on the point of
rebellion over the blockade of the street by
the Pittsburg Incline Plane Company.
They say thev have had no use of it for two
months, and hold that a moderate amount
of effort would soon abate a great nuisance.
Councilman P. M. Carr has agreed to
carry the matter into Councils, and the com
plainants assert that if they do not get
speedy relief they will be heard from in
some other manner.
PHENOMENAL SALE
Of Everett Pianos at 137 Federal St., Alle
gheny, Pa.
We have been so rushed this week with
purchasers for those lovely Everett pianos
that we have not had time to write adver
tisements. Our trade and our stock has
grown so large since we adopted the club
system that we have been compelled to rent
an additional wareroom at 21 Federal St.,
and we have now without exception the
largest stock of fine pianos in the two cities.
We buy our pianos in lots of 350 at once,
and witl sell you a piano at least $75 less than
any other house in the State can sell the
same grade of instruments. We do not sell
those shoddy pianos advertised by some
dealers at f 175 and $200. We value our
reputation too much to swindle our cus
tomers in that way, but have a few odd
makes, such as Weber, Decker, Knabe,
Eranach & Bach, Hallett & Davis and
others which we will close out at cost, as
we need the room for our immense stock of
Everetts. Come and see us before you pur
chase. Alex. Boss,
