THE PITTSBURG DlSPATOHr NBAT "ItAfl iS. 1890,
THE MUSIC WORLD.
Fopularily in the Field of Opera a
Very Uncertain Thing.
THE FU1URE OF THE GOXDOLIERS.
It Has Intrinsic Merit Whether It Will
Hare Pinafore's Bun or Not,
GOSSIP OP INTEREST TO HUSIC1AKS
"Whether the "Gondoliers" will ever be
come as widely popular as "Pinafore" and
the "Mikado," who can tell? Popularity is
a condition, not a theory; and until it con
fronts us as an actual, present fact, no
amount of a priori reasoning can give
assurance of its coming. Indeed, even when
a fine sample of popularity is actually under
the critical microscope, it is impossible to
analyze its elements soas to frame a formula
for its reproduction.
, Popularity is a chance, an accident or
rather a combination of them. It can form
no true test of the quality of any kind of an
art work.
Yet, because of the extraordinary popu
larity which some of the Gilbert & Sullivan
operettas have chanced to win, the question
as to the real merits of any new work of
theirs seems to be generally muddled np
with vain gneses as to whether it contains
the elements of popularity, whether its tunes
will be whistled on the streets, etc.
Thus judging by a false standard, the peo
ple hesitate to give hearty, spontaneous
approval to a new operetta bv these writers;
thev firt inquire uneasily. "How did London
receive it? Is New York crazy over it? ' And
IT the work docs not happen "to create a gen
eral furore irom the first, the public as well
as those who have as those who hare not
heard it come to regard it as second class,
quite Inferior to its most popular predecessors
and liardl) worth going to see.
Of course the people who go to the opera or
the symphonv concert, and who read "Robert
ENmere" or "Looking Backward" for no other
reason than that everybody else is doing the
same thing, arc not injured by such misconcep
tions as to the intnnsic value and interest of a
work. But the many who would be interested
in the operetta for Its own sake are defrauded
by such misrepresentations, which tend both to
deter them from gome to hearit and to shorten
its career upon the statre. The composer and
librettist are, moreover, thcrebv cheated ont of
their just meed of praise and of ducats.
Anyone who really cares for genuine light
opera is to be commiserated if he has by any
means been deprived of hearing the Gon
doliers." In this day of mock opera often
none too good in its original French or German
form, and made immeasurably worse by a vil
lainous translation, a hack-work orchestration
and wnoleale cutting of book and score to
make room for vulcar gags, low-lived horse
play and low-necked, unkirted display it is
exceedingly refreshing to see an operetta
written by a master of English and a masterof
musical composition, both of hom liaio some
thing artistic to say and take care that it shall
be presented to American audiences sub
stantially as they wrote it
In this book Gilbert displays on the surface
all his wonted verbal drollery and all his own
peculiar faculty of creating comical complica
tions out of absurdly transparent material.
Could anvthmg be more Gilbertian than the
cute conceit of making Casilda and Luiz vir
tuously revel only in the past embrances of
some 15 minutes ago? Or than the piteous pre
dicament of the two gondoliers who reigned as
one king and yet had two distinct appetites?
Looking beneath the surface this book re
Teals an unusual amount of the clever satire
in which Gilbert excels. The comical idea of
placing an impecunious duke on the stock
market in the shape of "The Bnke of
Plaia-Toro. Limited," hating for its capital
that gentleman's business, social and political
Influence, serves admira lv, to hit off the
enormous amount of wild-cat stocks just now
offered to the British m estor. and at the same
time to make cutting reflectl ns upon the use
less figure-head aristocracy.
It would be hard, too, to poke fun at the
nationalistic, social-equality vagaries of the
day more effectively than iu the picture of the
democratic Court of Baratana, demonstrating
by a truly Gilbertian reduclio ad absurdum
that "When Everyone is Somebodee, Then no
One's Anbodj "
"Vet a third clever satire should bo noted
though generally overlooked. It is in the
opening scene where the oondoheri and
the confarfme meet and exchange
I their elaborate, meaningless compliments in
Italian. The passage is a delightful take-off
on the traditional Italian opera-book. And
Sullivan has set it to music that might have
been taken bodily from some one of the older
Italian operas, to life-like is the imitation. It
is a delicious bit of work by both collabora
tenrs. That rarely equaled union of word and
Eonnd for which these two co-workers are noted
has never had a better exemplification than in
the unique quartet beginning, "In a contem
plative fashion," which is most originally con
ceit ed anil w Inch could not be more appro
priately worked out At the opposite extreme
Btands the lovely dnet of Casilda and Luiz in
the first act. a pathetic Ivric of no little
beauty. Tessa's song. -'When a Merry Maiden
Marries." and the next one bv Gianelta. "Kind
Sir, You Cannot Have the Heart," show the
hand of one of England's best wing writers.
Giuseppe has a "patter-song" in Sulli
van's charactenmc vein, but on a somewhat
new pattern. The chorus of rirls that opens
the opera is exceedingly melodious and grace
ful, besides being quite elaborately developed.
There is admirable use ot choral effects in brief
refrains as well as in more important pieces
scattered throughout the work. Sulli
van's experienced musicianship is seen
on every hand in the skillful development
and interweaving of the themes employed.
Such treatment of voices and, yet more notice
ably, of the orchestra is a never-ending sourco
of delight to the cultured listener, all the more
eo because of the extreme poverty In this re
spect of most of the alleged light operas on
the road.
If the "Gondoliers" does not create a great
furore it will not be because of failures on the
. part either of librettist or composer The per
formers or else the dear public itself will be to
blame.

NOTHING AGAINST TODD.
Mr. Acli-.on Speak. Kindly of ni Consrei
alonal Opponent In Wnnliington.
E. F. Acheson, of "Washington county,
was in the city yesterday evening. He is a
candidate for the Republican Congressional
nomination in the Twenty-fourth district.
"Wben asked about the candidacy of Mr.
Todd, of that county, he said: "Mr. Todd's
name has been mentioned in the newspapers,
but I do not know whether he is a candidate
or not. He is an excellent gentleman, for
whom I haTe always had a high regard. If
I cannot get the nomination there is no one
whom I would sooner see chosen. If he
stands, the contest in our county
will be .air and honorable through
out. If he carries the county I
will turn whatever delegates I have over to
him. No county in the State is freer from
bossism than Washington. Our people are
intelligent, and will not be forced into doing
what they do not want, and no intelligent
politician tries to dictate to them. Under
the Republican rules every candidatebas a
fair and equal chance, and if he fails he
knows that it is because a. majority do not
want him.
"If a majority of the Republicans of
"Washington county do not indorse mjr can
didacy I shall not ask for consideration at
the hands of the Republicans of the other
counties of the district. Our people feel
that Washington county, with its great in
terests and 2,000 Republican majority, is
entitled to the nomination, and'if I cannot
win I hope Mr. Todd will."

J. B. Loughran, ex-mayor of North Des
Moines, and the Locust street manufacturer
of steam engines and boilers, said recently to
a Mail and Times reporter, "I havejust
recovered from a severe attack of la grippe.
I was laid up for three weeks. I used
Chamberlain's cough remedy, and applied
Chamberlain's pain balm to my breast.
These remedies were just the thing in my
case. My child had croup tome years ago,
and we used Chamberlain's cough remedy
with perfect success, since then wc have
never been without these medicines in our
bouse. I had a cousin who was a printer
and was employed in a job office in
this city, where they were printing
circnlars for Chamberlain. He had a deep
seated cold and a terrible cough, and while
setting up the copy he made up his mind to
buy a bottle. It cured his cough, and that
was the first time I ever knew anything of
Chamberlain's remedies. I have been strong
ly in their favor ever since. My own experi
ence and that of my family convinces me
that these remedies are the best in the world.
That may be strong language, but it is what
I think.

THEFAMOUSFOEGERY
Once More the Subject of a Congres
sional Investigation.
COL. SAKDS AT LAST ON THE STAKD.
He Tells What Ho Knows About Foraker,
Wood and the Ballot Box.
BOMB 0THEB STORIES CONTBADICTED
"Washington, March 15. After a recess
of over a month the special House commit
tee charged with an investigation of the
Ohio ballot box forgery, met this morning
to conclude the taking of testimony. A. C.
Sands, of Cincinnati, was called to the
witness stand. He told the various public
offices he had held, being United States
Marshal for the southern district of Ohio,
United States Railroad Commissioner, and
President of the Cincinnati School Board.
He was a member of the Republican con
vention which last nominated Governor
Foraker, and was on very friendly terms
with him and with Mr. Kurtz, his secretary.
Ou September 30 last witness met Kurtz
at the Governor's office. Did not tell him
that the Governor's ballot box speech was a
cracker; that ho had been to Washington
about the ballot bill: that James E. Camp
bell had seen the President to facilitate the
passage of the bill; that leading Ohio Re
publicans were interested in the bill, and
that he (witness) had seen the contract
a general denial.
"Witness never did come to Washington
to look into the ballot box matter. There
might be some truth in Kurtz's statement,
but witness had never told him that he knew
of these things of his personal knowledge.
Did not make any communication to Mr.
Halstead to the effect that he knew anything
personally of the ballot box matter. No
vember 14 witness received a letter from Mr.
Kurtz asking to see him as soon as conven
ient It was a Drivate letter, and the witness
did not care to produce it, but yielded to
Mr. Grosvenor's demand.
The letter was dated Columbus, Novem
ber 13, and in it Kurtz says he fears Sands
may think he is responsible for the Commer
cial Gazette publication, but that he is not,
and adds that he wishes to have a chat with
him at the first opportunity. It was marked
"private."
Witness went on to tell of a conversation
he had with Kurtz at the Gibson House,
during the course of which Kurtz declared
that he was not responsible for the publica
tion, and said that the Governor had made
a mistake in saying anything to Mr. Hal
stead about the talk in the Governor's office
that day. The publication referred to was
a suggestion that Sands be called as a wit
ness, as he could tell something about the
ballot-box forgery. The Gibson House in
terview as testified to by Kurtz was read to
witness and he was asked whether it was
correctly stated.
A DIFFEBENT ACCOUNT.
In answer he gave an account of the con
versation, which was to the effect that he
bad told Kurtz that he believed that he had
destroyed his letter of November 13, but he
denied having appealed to Kurtz to say
nothing about the conversation at the Gov
ernor's office. Witness had said that he might
be called as a witness. Kurtz replied that
he would not, as his testimony would con
cern a private conversation. Witness had
said that he did not care if every word he
had said was published, provided "that Gov
ernor Foraker's statements in the conversa
tion were also published. If the conversa
tion was published the Governor would get
the worst of it
EiThe witness next told of his conversa
tion with Governor Foraker at Col
umbus September 30. The Governor
had told him that Wood was tired of the
gang and wanted to down them. Witness
told him not to place too much trust in
Wood. They spoke of Wood's candidacy
for the smoke inspectorship. Witness had
told the Governor that Wood had told him
be was friendly to Foraker, but was going
to work quietly for Campbell. When wit
ness told him it would keep him busy riding
two horses in opposite directions, Wood had
replied that was all eight, and that they
must have his ballot box in any case. All
this witness told Governor Foraker, as he
was afraid Wood might lead him into
trouble. He also told Kurtz that Wood was
not friendly to Foraker.
fobaker's plans.
The Governor mentioned Campbell as
being connected with the ballot box scheme
and said that Wood had told him others
were in it Wood was to furnish him the
contract and subscription list If witness
had known that the Governer had the
papers then, he would have stopped the
whole business. He had influence enough,
he thought, to do that, and would have
stopped it as soon as he saw Senator Sher
man's name.
On cross-examination, the witness said
that he had not spoken to Kurtz at the
Governor's office about the ballot box. Ho
was not surprised to get Kurtz's letter as he
supposed they were anxious about the pub
lication and might fear that he would say
something. The Chairman wished to know
why, if he had said nothing to Kurtz, about
the ballot box, witness was not surprised to
get his letter.
Witness replied that he had cautioned
Kurtz against Wood and had quoted his
conversation with Wood that micht have
been the basis of the letter. He had not,
however, repeated that part of the conversa
tion where Wood said Campbell had gone
to the President to help along his bill.
At this point the further examination was
postponed nntil Monday.

Habitual Costiveness
Causes derangement of the entire system, and
begets diseases that are hazardous to life. Per
sons of a costive habit are subject to Head
ache, Defective Memory, Gloomy Forebodings,
Nervousness, Fevers, Drowsiness, Irritable
Temper and other symptoms, which unfit the
sufferer for business or agreeable associations.
Regular habit of body alone can correct these
evils, and nothing succeeds so w ell in achieving
this condition as Tntt's Pills. By their nse not
only is the system renovated, but in conse
quence of the harmonious changes thus cre
ated, there pervades a feeling of satisfaction;
the mental faculties perform their lunctions
with vivacity, and there is an exhilaration of
mind, freedom of thought and perfect heart's
ease that bespeaks the lull enjoyment of
bealtb.

Owing to the jealousy and persecution of
local doctors, Gun Wa, the celebrated Chinese
physician, has decided to leave Pittsburg. He
has taken up bis permanent residence at the
beantif ol citv of IndIananolii, Ind. During his
fonr months' residence here be made many
converts to the mild and gentle natural herbal
remedies of the Flowery Kingdom and effected
some marvelous cures. Thousands of peoplo
who had long donbted the wisdom of our "reg
ulars, and their powerfnl mineral drugs and
poisons, believe that an outrage has beon com
mitted on an inoffensive foreigner, whoso sole
aim was to do good. The less bigoted medical
fraternity of Indiana have made Gun Wa wel
come among them. Gun Wa does not practice
medicine ho has perfected himself and does
not need to '"practice" but ho has a line of
prepared herb remedies which positively cure
dyspepsia, rheumatism, neuralgia, female weak
ness, tumors, piles, consumption, costiveness,
salt rheum, catarrh, scrofula, tapeworm, ma
laria, nervous diseases, and all diseases of a
private nature. Young, old or middle-aged
men wto feel exhausted from overwork or
other causes, should eontult Gun Wa. No
charge for advice, and the medicines are sold
for a small sum. Write to

HIGH ART GOODS
TO BE SOLD AT A SACRIFICE.
We have a few pieces of the well-known high art Plastic sketches, made by the Low Tile Works of
Chelsea, Mass., to close out. These goods recently took the highest award in England in competition with
the best known manufacturers of the world (the ten guinea gold medal), and were conceded by them to be the
limit of perfection in the Plastic art. Every piece a ceramic gem. No more of these goods are now to be
had, as the models have been destroyed. The number made from the original models were limited, and now
only a few can be bought AT ANY PRICE. Considered by connoisseurs o be very valuable.
