ZITTEBBART OKCHESTEA COXCEET
The Pittsburg Art Society has for many
years been known as a charmed circle with
in which is to be found the very cream of
this community's cultured classes. It
contains a number of our best artists musi
cal and pictorial as the specific art
leaven in tbe laree lump of its membership,
which is chiefly recruited from among
the leading citizens in other walks of life,
whose artistic activity Is mainly that of
patrons, not performers or painters. These
members and the few invited guests iorm
tbe most critical and, in the true sense, ap
preciative audience our city affords, and
that audience has been regularly regaled, in
the recurring receptions, with the best work
of local singers, players and painters, with
the finest specimens of pictorial art owned
in the city, and occ isional informal but
valuable lectures on (esthetic topics.
This has all been very delightlul bene
ficial, too, no doubt, to the favored few
within the circle. But a large question now
arises astotlie future policy of this old and
respected organization.
will it continue to live unto Itself alone, or
will it rise nobly to the mea-ure of its great op
portunities for public usefulness as tbe leader
In tbe artistic auakening of which so many
Bius are now auruau lu Lue communityr
As the section on art, of the new Academy
of Science and Art, so Intimately associated
with Mr. Carnegie's far-reaching plans for the
higher lire of our community, the Pittsburg
Art Society has glot'ous possibilities before it.
On the horizon of lu legitirrate development
jic in uiouuer oi great worhs jor tne canse
of musical art in our midst, brinsr
ing eminent artiits and organizations
nere and placing their concerts within
reach of the poorer classes; encouraging home
singers and players (solo and orchestral) by lu
crative engagement in the Society's concerts;
encouraging home composers by competitions
lor prizes or medals and by opportunities for
perlormance of tbeirworks; building up a mu
sical library, the utter lack of which is now so
seriously felt in short, there is nothing in
the whole range of enterprises that foster art
which does not fall uithiu the scope of this
society's futute activity.
Small beginnings must be made, of course:
but an energetic endeavor to do all that can be
oone will be sure ro open the way for gradual
Procters to the ultimate aims, however diffi
cult or attainment they may seem at nrst. The
society can begin by opening its doors
wider as to membership; by leaving its
pictures on the walls for a few days
after the receptions and asking the
public to view them. With the prospect of a
home in the Academy of Science and Art
building wherever it may be the Art Society
should at onco begin the accumulation of
books on music and art and other things per
taining to sastbeiic culture.
These things are being very seriously dis
cussed by tbe leading pirits of the society.
They are especially timely In view of the an
nual meeting to be held next Thursday. In the
interests of tbe public. It i greatly to ne hoped
that the members at Urge, who are already as
Individuals the leaders In business, social and
professional life, will prove to be possessed of
a strong deslro to become, through this or
gaulzatlon. the leaders also in the art life of
tbe community.
It would be a most admirable thing for some
friends of the Art Society to seize the rare
opportunity now open to secure for it the
nucleus of afino musical library. The follow
lng communication, culled from the -Musical
Courier, will unlold the opportunity: M

The first concert of tho Zitterbast Orchestra
drew a most appreciative, if not very large,
audience to Old City Hall last Thursday even

Orchestra.
It was a very ambitious orogramma for the
debut of an amateur orchestra: but with tbe
exception of the andante of the lovely
unfinished symphony, the work of
the young players was remarkably good.
Bnch a body of strings is rarely
heard In onr concert halls: and tho discipline
of the whole force reflected creat credit alike
upon the plavers and upon their con
ductor, Mr. Fldelis Zltterbart, Jr. Mr.
Zltterbart's violin playing showed certain tech
nical deficiencies natural in one who has
retired from the concert stage for so long a pe
riod, but the evidences of bis large talents
were there In abundance and amply
atoned for the slight defects. Or the

both composed by Mr, Zltterbart
It Is Impossible to speak In detail this morning.
They showed his thorough mastery of tbe tech
nique or orchestral composition and developed
many points of true musical inter
est. Mr. Bather's claying or tbe con
certo was correct and mostly tasteful and
marked by a self-control quite unusual for a
young pianists debut with orchestra. The
other soloists have been orten heard and need
no further comment than to say that they ad
ded their full quota to an enjoyable evening.
The Mozart Club's concerts with the Boston
Bymphony Club, which form the chief event of
the entire season, are to be held at
Old City Hall Monday and Tues
day evenings of this week. It is pleasant
to see that tbe sale of seats assures an over
flowing audience each evening. The pro
grammes bave been given in lull, and they
promise a worthy display of the
quality both of Pittsburg's best chorus
and of America's best orchestra. Mme. Stein-nacb-Jahns,
the eminent Leipzig soprano, will
be heard each evening, and the solo parts in tbe
vocal works are taken by our best local singers.
The important work in which all forces join
Is Mendelssohn's "Hymn of Praise," the sym-phony-cantata
In which Beethoven's ex
ample of combining an orchestral with a
choral work has been mostNsnccessfully
followed. Sir George Grove declares this work
which was first given at Leipzig at the festival
In commemoration of th invention of nrintinp-
In January, 1840, to be "as characteristic and
mP?rtant a worK as any in the whole series of
his (Mendelssohn's) compositions" ranking It
before '"St. Paul." alongside of "Athalie ," and
below -Elijah" alone. Dr. C. H. Hubert Pany,
to his monograph on The Symphony, says:
Mendelssohn's only other symphonic work
was the Lobgaang, a sort of ecclesiastical
counterpart of Beethoven's Ninth Sym
phony. In this, of course, the programme
.-i! . Vj . Is ouu Juusiratea Dy tae

about a dozen years ago.
Appropos of the expected concerts of the
Strauss Orchestra, May 28 and 27, tbe follow
ing extract trom a private letter from Mt,
Ethelbert Nevln will be of interest:
"One of the prettiest things of the whole
musical season in Boston was tbe serenade to
Strauss. At a banquet given in Baden-Baden
some 10 or 12 vears ago (perhaps moro) tbe first
toast, with firabanes as toast-master, was to
Johann Strauss, who had given more pleasure
possibly to the world at large than any
other composer of the day. Could any
thing have been more in season, or more
well timed, than tbe combining of all the small
orchestras in Boston (while our big orchestra
was away), and meeting in front of Strauss ho
tel, long past the hour of repose, and giving
him, as well as his men, a hearty musical re
ception.
"Was It strange that a number of the lead
ing composers and musicians In Atuericashould
walk this, the garden of tulips and forget-me-nots,
and stand in front of "dance king's"
hotel, and with goodwill welcome him. Boston
may De yes. even prudish, but she can appre
ciate music in its every form, and the dance
music holds its own with the king of the sym
phony and the emperor of the dramatic"
Tbe programme with which Straus and his
Viennese players opened their American tour
at Boston last Wednesday was as follows:
CONCEBT OF THE ITU. OBCnESTRA OF ZDUAED
FTRAUSS,
Imperial Court Ball Music Director, Vienna.
Overture from "TheMerry War"

The Boston Ideals went to pieces at Albany
on Monday. Tbe members of the company left
there by boat for New York last Monday night
without their back salaries. So says the
Musical Courier.
The East End branch of the Young Men's
Christian Association was musically assisted in
Its bouse warming last Fridav evening by an
amateur orchestra of some SO players, conduct
ed by Mr. Thos. F. Kirk.
Petes Tschaxkow&rt has finished a new
opera, entitled "The Captain's Daughter,"
which has been accepted for performance at
tbe St. Petersburg Court Opera House. The
libretto is taken from Puschkin's novel of tbe
same title.
A Braddock correspondent sends the fol
lowing item: A very successful concert under
the auspices of the Episcopal Church, was held
in Lelgbton's Rink last night. Among the lead
ing soloists as Miss Julia Friedeman. of Alle
gheny, whose rendition of "My Lovely Child,
Good Night," was charmingly effective.

Last Thursday and Friday evenings the
cantata "Daniel" was given in tbe Second M.
P. Church, corner Fifth avenue and Marlon
street. Tho chorus was composed of tbe
church choir of 0 voices, assisted by members
of tbe Welsh Glee Club, under tbe direction of
Mr. Morris Stephens. Tbe cast of characters
included: Mr. C. M. Borah, Miss Jennie Gray,
Miss Louisa Loomls, Mr. F. W. Bearl, Mr. D. J.
Davles and others, in elaborate costumes. Mr.
Harry Lloyd and Mr. George T. Marshall were
the accompanists.
The death of Mr. Herman T. Knake, early
yesterday morning, removes from tbe musical
community one of Its most prominent mem
bers. For many years Mr. Knake has been or
ganist ot St. Paul's Cathedral, and a frequent
figure In tbe city's concert rooms, as conductor
accompanist or listener. He Is widely known
as tbe composer of a number of popular songs
and quartettes, tbe most familiar being, prob
ably, "The Flowers Sleep." Mr. Knake's busl-
nessasa music aeaier and publisher served
further to extend his acquaintance among
musical folk. It is an exceptionally wiae cir.
cle of friends and admirers that mourns the
untimely close of Mr. Knake's useful career.

W. M. LAIRD.
His methods are progressive, bis re
sources ample, his Mammoth Shoe Stores
crowded with new ideas and his patronage
growing throngh the force of nls over
whelming inducements at all times.
Solid Comfort for Walkers
la obtained by tbe production of perfect
fitting shoes, those that will not only be en
durable alter a long period of "breaking in,"
but shoes so carefully made that they re
quire absolutely no "breaking in." This is
one of Laird's big points.
Holding Customers.
Laird devotes his energies to selling good
honest shoes, not fancy-priced goods, just
everyday, reliable, durable shoes. He takes
pleasure iu seeing tbe same people come to
his Mammoth Shoe Stores year alter year.
He finds it better to sell close, give good
service for his customers' money so aa not to
hunt up new trade each season.
Enlargement and Expansion.
In order to keep pace with his immensely
increasing trade, the Market street stores
have been enlarged by adding No. 410, and
the new Wood street "store, No. 433, made a
complete and enticing emporium.
Spring and Summer Footwear.
Both of these are essentially found at the
bargain stores filled with the choicest makes
oT goods, capableof meeting the wants of all.
either in tbe cheap, medium or higher
priced lines.
Bargains are found all the year round and
especially is this the case at the present
moment.
The Handsomest Stores
Ever constructed in Pittsburg, fitted up
with elegant conceits for showing goods and
making p.itrons comfortable are in the Laird
combination, and tbe inducements offered at
all times fill them with eager bargain
seekers.
Deception is Bad Policy.
Next to the largest and cheapest stock
Laird is open and above boord in all he does.
Every shoe is warranted, every customer
made a friend and the goods so palpably
honest that they speak for themselves.

Millinery Department once, and if they do not find our work superior

ted into this department.

we do not make up for this by adding to the prices of materials.

being trimmed will find pleasant waiting rooms, liberally supplied with

Creates
An Appetite
There is nothing for which we recommend
Hood's Barsaparilla with greater confidence
than for loss of appetite. Indigestion, sick head
ache and other troubles of dyspeptic nature.
In the most natural way this medicine gently
tonc3 the stomach, assists digestion, and makes
one feel 'real hungry." Ladles In delicate
health, or very dainty and particular at meals,
after taking Hood's Sarsaparilla a few days,
find themselves longing lor and eating tbe
plainest food with unexpected relish and satis
faction. Try it.
