FEATDBES OP HIS PERFORMANCE.
The Events That Will Eound Out the Pleas
ures of the Season.
6TBAUSS AKD HIS DAKCE OKCHESTEA
little Otto Hegner, hating fully proved
his mettle in his two recitals here last
month, was welcomed back to Pittsburg on
Thursday evening by an audience well rep
resenting our best citizens and comfortably
filling Old City Hall. An exceptional
success for a piano recital was this. An
other proof that our pnblic. while too busy
to keep thoroughly posted in musical mat
ters merely of a general interest, is always
ready to give the most generous patronage
to any musical attraction that comes and
proves its merit to be within speaking dis
tance of its advance notes. The programme:

6. Improvisation on theme given by any one
present Otto Hijrner
The diminutive Schweitzer completely
captivated this large audience, as he already
had done the smaller ones. His bonny
bricht face and unaffected manners, erace
ful, vet boyish and Impulsive, largely enhance
the charm of his work. He really needs no
adventitious aid of this kind, however: one can
fully enjoy his playing with one's eyes shot.
A certain youthful impetuosity in the boy's
playing can stand pruning down a bit especi
ally in such compositions as the Beethoven
Sonata. Experience and growth -will inevi
tably brine about the pruning process; they
conld not, however, create the ardent musical
soul that causes tne exces'ivo Impetuosity. The
excess promises vastly better than
would a corresponding deficiency.
As it is, the boy never loses
the upper hand over'himself. Take, for in
stance, the breathless, thrilling climax toward
the close of the Ptrauss-Tausig waltz, where
the little player compelled forgetfnlness of his
W and nffA and niliri pffppr tinnn pffprt until I
it seemed tmt the slightest added strain must
make something eivc way yet, how def t'y and
readily he came back into the graceful, easy
flowing theme, all unflurricd bv the tempestu
ous efforts of the moment previous.
The Chopin concerto was made the vehicle,
not merely for a brilliant technical display, but
for a surprising degree of maturity in concep
tion, of refinement in ohrasing and of virility
in spirit. The rich singing tone, and broad, free
delivery of the cantabile passages contrasted
well with the lightness and grace of the pecu
liarly Chopinesqun ornamentation, and these
in turn with tho glowing climaxes of tone and
feeling. This concerto, more than most, can
stand the substitution of a second piano for
the orchestra (instrumentation was not among
Chopin's strong points) and so it was possible
for Mr. Jos. H. Gittings to render assistance of
bxceptional effectiveness, in spite of the ill
timed applause tha- so often punctuated the
solo part. While there might be serious
question as to the art value of the
little lad's Improvisations or even as to
their probab'e commercial value, if taken
down and submitted for publication, it was,
nevertheless, very interesting to hear him
rhapsodize upon the theme given by llr. Ret
ter and the familiar tune played over by Sir.
Gittings. Improvisation in concert is permissi
ble to but three classes of players: To the
genius, who is above law; to the prodigy, whoso
infancy makes him an exception to the law,
and to the organist without a repertoire,
who is an outlaw. Otto Hegner, being
of the second of these classes,
is in his extemporizing capacity not a legiti
mate subject for criticism according to the
laws of musical form. Miss Mamie Keuck re
peated her triumphs of the former Hegner
recitals, .uer interpretation oi tne two Wein
iawski compositions lacked no essentials, while
it possessed many graces and beauties. She
shows fine artistic sensibilities in all she does
and steadily gains in poise and power. A pro
test must be made, however, against taking
JIogkowski's lovely little serenata at so slow
apace.
The usual plethora or musical events begins
to loom up for the closing months of the sea
son. It is a genuine pity for us that the supe
rior attractions of the great musical centers
hold all the best music-makers there for the
best part of each season and then at its fag end
let them all troop lorth with a rush to engulf
the less favored towns. It is either
lean or famine with us. AVe can't know the
comfortsland benefits of having good.squaie
meals of music in regular, constant succession.
ICowocr, most people prefer gorging to starv
ing, if compelled to choose. Our feast begins,
one may say, with Dr. Hans Von Bulow's
recital on the 25th of this month. That
snd the Mozart Club's pair of concerts with
the Boston Symphony Orchestra, form tho
Vteces de resistance from the musician's point
of view. Excellent entrees on this bill of fare
will be the two concerts of the Allegheny Musi
cal Association and the proposed concert of Mr.
Amos Whiting's Handel Society. Both of these
trill enlist thejaid of prominent soloists, vocal,
and instrumental, besides the choral features.
Lastly come the sweet-meats In the shape of
KJouard Strauss with his famous Viennese
dance-orchestra, and our own Patrick Sarsfield
jGiimore with his deservedly popular brassiand.
Is X not a varied feast; "lie who cannot find
something to his taste on that menu, must be
n -ne other than the oft-named "man that hath
no music in his soul" which, by the wav, is
not the way Shakespeare named him
.
Those sordid musical tradesmen in New
York have again within the past few days flung
out their "Know-nothing" banner and raised
an outcry against the coming of Strauss and
and his orchestra. It will be a violation of the
alien contract labor law, they righteously de
clare. T:iey did not discover this putative infraction
of that most ludicrously abortive law until tha
Strauss Orchestra got the engagement to open
the new Amphitheater in Ssk York and two
or three other plums they sighed lor. Now
however, for the sake of the few paltry dollars
ahead of their noses, these short-sighted
players set themselves against one of
the essential elements to the musical
progress upon which their own interests di
rectly depend. The free and frequent com
ing to our shores of good singers and players
In all lines of musical work is still despite our
vaunted civilization an invaluable aid to our
artistic growth. Of all people who should n el
come such a tour as that contemplated by
Strauss, tboso who are engaged In the samo
lines of work are tho very ones.
It is a beggarly plea to say that tho members
of that orchestra are not "artists" in
the truest meaning of tho word. If
the whole band performs an art-work
in an artistic manner (which bevond question
It does), then every person in "it Is entitled
prima facie to be termed an artist. He cer
tainly is an artist, if he be fully competent to
form a component part of that artistic whole;
uu ii. is tvuj .w cuiipusc him incompetent men
would be brought several thousand miles to
run the gauntlet of the American critics and
Custom House to boot.
An "artist" does not mean only a soloist. As
a matter of fact many a soloist of some note
hag inartistic habits to which the ac
companist may accommodate himself, but
which would be absolutely ruinous to
effective ensemble work. He who can do the
latter is ery often abetter artist than he who
can get up and play a solo where tho composer
as well as tho audience, is at his mercy.
You might as well say that Marshall P
Wilder, who entertains a roomful all by him
.self, is a greater artist than Kdwin Booth, who
takes pride in bringing himself as a simgle
factor. Into perfect harmony with all the
others that go to make up a great dramatic
scene.
.
It is regretted that lack of space this morn,
lne prevents the printing of the numerous
Easter church programmes sent in to The
Dispatch for publication.
It is certainly a very prcttv custom that
brings the richest and brightest sacred music
the gladdest festival of the church year and
the most buoyant of the seasons all in together.
Ihe recent awakening in the line of organ
music in our town already is bearing fruit in
the general betterment of church musics
Not that the Easter programmes them
selves show much, if any, improve
ment. They always did look well on
paper. But the increased salaries lately con
tracted for and a variety of other signs evidence
the fact more and more attention is being paid
by the church authorities and congregations to
the musical portion of the services.
There is now more inducement than ever
held out to might-be singers and organis to fit
themselves for the work; and, when
once in harness, the greater inter
est taken in tho choir is a strnrnr
Incentive for doing that work in the best way.
All of which promises well, both spiritually
and artistically. '

QUAY IK PITTSBUKG.
The National Chairman Pecs Some of His
Friends Sir. Dolzell Comes Out Openly
Acalnit Him He enrs n Quay Nominee
Mean Defeat in the State.
Senator 21. S. Quay came up from Beaver
yesterday morning to attend to some bank
ing business, and incidentally to see some of
the workers. He registered at the Seventh
Avenue Hotel, and spent the day in receiv
ing his friends. Among his callers were
Postmaster McKean. Collector "Warmcastle,
Captain John A. Eeed, a candidate for the
Pension Agency; K". S. "Williams, James
Bradley, and many others of the Senator's
adherents in Pittsburg.
It had been given out that an important
conference was to be held, but this was not
true. Most of the Government patronage
has been distributed in this neighbor
hood. Congressman Bay called on the Senator,
and they talked for awhile over the post
mastership at McKeesport, but nothing
definite was reached. Mr. Bay is anxious
to have the fight settled as soon as possible,
for his friends realize that his hesitancy is
injuring his influence with his constituency.
Ho deals were made or even talked of, and
as a general rule the Senator steers clear of
Pittsburg when there is anything big on the
carpet,
When seen by a Dispatch man Mr.
Quay, as usual, said he had nothing to give
out lor publication. Lew Emery's attack
on Delamater did not seem to worry him,
at least he gave no signs.
Yesterday Congressman Dalzell declared
his position most emphatically in "Washing
ton. He said that he had no use for Mr.
Quay, and hereafter he would fight him
openly. He is for Montooth first, because
Allegheny county will support him
for Governor, but after the Ma
jor he will favor any good
man who is a representative of anti-Qnay-ism.
Mr. Dalzell concluded by saying that
in his opinion no man could be elected Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania under the existing
circumstances as the nominee of Quay. The
Dispatch correspondent at "Washington
telegraphed last evening that Con
gressman Dalzell admitted he had
been correctly quoted, and he
would stand over it. JFor sometime there
have been rumors of a revolt if Delamater
is nominated, and it is alleged by some that
the middle ground taken by Senator Quay
recently that he is supporting no one for
Governor, was for the purpose of relieving
Delamater. Lew Emery is an open and
avowed enemy, bnt even his friends admit
that his judgment is so often at fault on ac
count of his rashness that he is more liable
to help than hinder.
The story which came from Philadelphia
yesterday that Quay was disgusted with the
management of Chairman Andrews while
the National Chairman was in Florida, is
generally discredited by the Senator's
friends in Pittsbnrn". Thev are loth to be
lieve that certain complaints have been
made, and they insist that Andrews' gen
eralship is satisfactory.
THE KETT CLASSIFICATION.
Rates on Chimneys, Cat Glass and Electric
Bulb Havo Deen Advanced.
The new joint official classification of the
Central Traffic and Trunk Line Associa
tions was issued yesterday. It will go into
force April 15. There are some changes
that will affect Pittsburg, principally in the
rates on glass. There has been a slight ad
vance on several makes and varieties.
Glass chimnevs have been pushed up from
second and third class to the first and third.
Cut glass, electric light bulbs, street lamp
globes in packages have been made double
first. This means that there is no difference
in the rate whether in car or less than car
lots. Lanterns have also been advanced from
the second to the first class. There has been
no change in the bottle rate, but a slight
concession vas made. Hereafter the mini
mum weight will be 20,000 pounds instead
of 24.000. That is, for example, if a shipper
has 21,000 pounds in a car, he need not cay
for 24,000 as formerly.
The iron and steel classification remains
about the same. A few inches has been
added to allow for the box in shaftings 20
feet long. Under the old classification if
the bar with the box was a few inches longer
than 20 feet a treble rate was charged for the
difference, and as shaftings are seldom made
less than 20 in length, the manufacturers
generally had to pay the beavy rate.
IF KAISER IS WELL ENOUGH,
Noxdon, Who Hit Hiin VFIih a Hatchet, Will
Hnve a Hearing: To-Day.
John J. Noxdon, the man arrested for as
saulting George Kaiser, the Southside hotel
keeper, with a hatchet Friday night, will
have a hearing to-day before Magistrate
Brokaw, if Mr. Kaiser is able to appear.
The injured man said last night that he be
lieved Koxdon's attack was for the purpose
of robbery. He had $500 ia a satchel in his
band at the time, and says that as Noxdon
kept the bar for him for a long time he
would know about the time some money was
in the house.
A charge of felonious assault, and perhaps
for attempted robbery, will be made against
Noxdon.
FIRST SATUEDAI IN JUNE.
The Republican County Committee Arrnnzei
for the Pi Imnries.
The Republican County Committee met
for a short time yesterday and decided to
hold the primaries for State and county
officers on the first Saturday in June, and
the convention will follow on Tuesday. It
was thought best that time could be "saved
and both the State and county officials could
be voted for at the same time.
A committee of five, of which George Y.
McKee and George Von Bonhorst are mem
bers, was appointed from that part of Alle
gheny county in the Twenty-fourth Con
gressional District, to look after affairs in
that section.
A SLOW HAEKET.
Removing the Ticker Hasn't Produced
Much of a Change.
The markets have been so slow during the
past week that brokers say that the effect of
the removal of the tickers from the bucket
shops is not apparent. The business lias
not increased, but the legitimate operators
attribute this result to the dullness of trade.
"Wheat was inclined to be a little gay yes
terday, but soon subsided.
The brokers admit that the bucket shop
dealers are a sharp set, and they are in
doubt if they will lose much by the opera
tion. The Next Hcliool Exhibit.
Arrangements have been about com
pleted for the public school exhibit at the
Exposition. The committee in charge will
select their space this week, and have de
cided that the pupils' work shall be pre
pared during the month of May.
Penitentiary Work Resumed.
The work on the new part of the Kiver
SKle penitentiary has been resumed again.
No work was done duriug the winter, but it
is expected that the new wing will be com
plete in every detail by August and ready
for the reception of prisoners.

AN EXCITING ELECTION.
Rector Maxwell's Friends Display Somo
New Fizures In Church Fichu.
There is a promise of an exciting election
at Trinity Church to-morrow morning for
vestrymen. It is reported that the friends
of Mr. Maxwell will spring a new lift of
names in opposition to the old vestrymen.
In this election only the male pew holders
can vote. There are 172 pews in the church,
only 87 of which are occupied by pew
holders, leaving 85 unoccupied.
The electioneering plan of Mr. Maxwell's
friends, it is alleged, is to sell sittings to
Mr. Maxwell's male friends. The sittings
cost 55, and allow the holders the privilege
of voting. They hope in this manner to
elect a new vestry, which will favor Mr.
Maxwell's return. Among those who will
appear on the new ticket are: John Bobb,
Esq., McClurg Hays, "Wharton McKuight,
Ed McKnight, Charles C. Schumaker, "W.

house on Twenty-third street, and his name
was brought into prominence sometime

cense to wed the daughter of Daily.

was refused on account of the girl's youth
and her unwillingness to marry.

respecting the teaching of physiology and
hygiene be enforced in all schools.

The Struggles of Life.
From the cradle to the grave life is full of
struggles. Some struggle for riches, some for
pleasure, somo for honor, and others struggle
to regain that greatest of all blessings health;
and in their efforts they often resort to means
which place it farther out of their reach. They
take drastic compounds, which shock the sys
tem, or violent minerals which poison by de
grees, thus the vital energies are weakened and
the fountains of life polluted. Nature provides
remedies, and it is from the vegetable kingdom
that Dr. Tutt's Liver Pills derive their ingredi
ents, and there is the haonv certainty that, if
they do no good they do no harm. But of their I
emcacy thousands wno navo Deen cured ox
diseased liver, kidneys, spleen, stomach and
bowels live to-day to testify.

HOW TIMES CHANCE!
"A man's work is from sun to sun,
A -woman's work is nerer done."
Is an old saw, which, like many other features of the much praised
"good old times," we have happily outgrown. What better indication of
the progress of the times do we need than the many labor-saying inven
tions, that have transformed the drudgery of old-time housekeeping into '
the pleasure it has become to-day. And, what is best of all, these inven
tions are not merely intended for the wealthy, but are within easy reach
of the most modest house. .
