THE MUSIC WORLD.
National Association of Teachers at
Detroit This Week.
SCIENCE AND THE DIVINE ART.
Fatrick Gilmore Will Bring a Pittsburg
Singer With His Band.
GOSSIP Iff LOCAL MUSICAL CIRCLES.
In late years, and notably in the present
season, the amount of public attention given
to music in this community has increased so
largely that it is more than ever important
to have the people at large understand the
serious import of the art, as something
Tastly more than a mere pastime.
This consideration, as well as the great in
terest attaching to the coming meeting of
the Music Teachers' Rational Association
at Detroit next month, warrant the publica
tion of the following copious pitracts from a
recent letter by Albert Boss Parsons, Presi
dent of the M. "T. N. A-, urging on tbe sub
ssnptions to tbe orchestral and concert endow
ment fend:
In view of the present widespread cultiva
tion of muslo In America, it is important that
tbe people sbould realize that our art is cot
Einisly a luxury, but is instead an educational
necessity.
The church, with her peculiar faculty of
spiritual intuition, has always more or less
clearly recognized this truth, and now realis
tic modern science is rapidly reaching the satae
conclusion.
Thus -wo read in tbe autobiography of Car
win bow he deplored tbe loss or his taste for
music and poetry. "If I had my lite to live
over again," be writes. "I would make it a rule
to read some poetry and listen to some music
at least once every week; for, perhaps, tbe
parts of my brain now atrophied Mould
thus have been kept active through
use. Tbe loss of tbese tastes is a loss ot happi
ness and mav Dossiblv be iniurious to the intel
lect, and mora probably to the moral character,
by enfeebling the emotional part of our nature."
S "Darwin's Life and Letters;" Murray, Lon
on.) Tbe close inner agreement between the
philosopher Herbert Spencer and the artist
llichard Wagner, as to tbe true significance of
music, is perhaps not so generally known.
bays agser: "In music's enigmatically en
twined ZiDes and wonderfully intricate char
acters stand written the eternal symbols of a
new and different world. The musical seer,
speaking tbo highest wisdom In a language
which reason does cot comprehend, reveals to
us the inexpressible truth.
" While we listen we have a presentiment,
nay, we see and feel that this seemingly sub
stantial world is only a fleeting show in tbe
Sresence of tbo one truth, 'I know tbat my
Redeemer liveth.' " ("Parsifal: a Wagner
Btudv;" Putnam's New York.)
Meanwhile Spencer writes: "We may regard
music as an aid to tbo achievement of that
higher happiness which it indistinctly shadows
forth. Those vague feelings of inexperienced
felicity which music arouses, those indefinite
impressions of an unknown ideal life which it
calls up. may be considered as a prophecy, to
the fulfillment of which music is itself partly
instrumental.
"The strange capacity which we have for
being ko affected by melody and harmony may
be taken to imply that it is within the possi
bilities of uur nature to realize those iutenser
delights they dimly snegest, and that they are
in some May concerned in the realization of
them. Ou this supposition the power and the
meaning of musio become comprehensible,
but otherwise they are a mys
tery. If the probability of tbese corol
laries be admitted, 'hen music
must take rank as tbe highest of the fine arts
as tbe one which, more than any other, minis
ters to human welfare. And thus leaving out
of view tbe immediate gratifications it is hourly
giving, we cannot too much applaud tbat prog
ress of musical culture which is becoming one
of the characteristics of our age." (Spencer:
"Origin and function of Music;" Appleton,
New York.)
Oricinally formed to promote the Interests
of both tbe public and the profession, by secur
ing an interchange of ideas among teachers
as an antidote to selfishness, secrecy.
irresponsible individualism and caprice
(not to speak of "humbug") in pro
fessional work, the Music Teachers'
National Association has reached a point
where it has undertaken to organize, define,
elevate and establish on the highest attainable
Plane the methods of musical instruction in all
branches, for the protection of the public and
the benefit of the millions of American stu
dents of music
Almost simultaneously with tbe establish
ment of the American College of Musicians,
the Music Teachers' National Association ex
tended a helping hand to tbe American com
poser, offering him at its annual festival the
came opportunity for bringing bis work before
tbe public which the American painter and
sculptor have long enjoyed in our academies of
design an opportunity which in the nature of
tbe case is simply priceless.
With this, the Music Teachers' National As
sociation has assumed the function and the
dignity as we believe it will soon assume the
title of an American society for the promo
tion of musical art.
..
The last important concerts of the local sea
eon are the two appearances of Mr. P. S3.
Gilmore and his dauntless band at
Old City HalL on Thursday, June 28.
The redoubtable Patrick Sarsfleld him
self needs no introduction or recommendation
to the public of Pittsburg or of any other
American city. Neither does tbe superb band
with which be has for many years maintained
tbe lead among organizations of its class.
There remain only tbe vocalists to speak of.
As already intimated in this column. Miss
RosaLmde (Mrs. Schaarschniidt), Pittsburg's
former favorite contralto, will at
these concerts mako her first appearance
here since her season of arrfnnna
stndy In Pans. The soprano of Mr. Gilmore's
present tour is Miss Ida Klein, whose singing
with tbe Boston Ideals two seasons ago is
Pleasantly remembered. Miss Helene von
loenhoff, who sang at the May Festival
here last year, is also on the list of soloists.
Mr. William J. Lavin, tenor, who has been
beard here, has been engaged m place of Mr.
Henri Koeke. formerly announced to sing. The
bas will be Mr. Edward O'Mahoney, a singer
of no little repute on both sides of the water.
tra will confine its attention to the dance
muslo. It looks very much as if fickle fashion
were going to bestow a broad-guage smile once
more upon this pretty grove, which has lately
languished under her neglect.
Is Sullivan writing two grand operasT The
Musichl Courier says: "Sullivan's new grand
opera, for which Julian Sturges Is writing the
libretto, will be produced at Carte's new thea
ter in the fall." But The DISPATCH has it,
through a private source of undoubted authen
ticity, that Eugene Field, the Chicago journal
ist, fa hnclori In Tjinrinn thm Summer With the
same task of writing a grand opera book for
Sullivan. One result, by the way, of the Gilbert-Sullivan
fracas Is that pretty Geraldine
Ulmar has left Carte's company and is coming
home to Boston this month.
The council of the Academy of Science and
Art have at last been able to come to an agree
ment with the trustees of tbe estate of the late
William Thaw, under which the academy will
take up Its quarters in tbe Fifth street resi
dence of the deceased philanthropist. As the
rear portion of the house is to be used for stor
age purposes, the trustees feel warranted in
leasing to the academy the front suites for a
moderate rental, quite within the resources of
the new organization. It Is quite safe to say
tbat no other rniirtpn can be found in the
heart of the city so well adapted for the vari
ous sections of the academy to bold their meet
ings and house their libraries and other collec
tions. It now behooves the Art Society, with a
permanent home for tbe first time provided for
it, to acquire the musical and art library, the
paintings and other art treasures which it
should have had long since, if there had only
been a proper place to keep them.
The fourth of Allegheny City's free organ
recitals at Carnegie Hall drew another large
and delighted audience. Organist Leonard
Wales was assisted by Miss Grace Miller, so
prano, and Dr. W. T. English, tenor. In the fol
lowing very popular programme:
1. March Triumphal Wollenhsupt

"l Consolation Mendelssohn
S. 'Olivette," rotponrri Aodrau
4. "Adeline," by J. B.Campbell

t Meyerbeer
Now the so-called "summer-night concert"
commences its sway once more. As under
Stood hereabouts, that term practically means
a dance ambushed behind a more or less trans
parent musical programme. Such affairs are
harmless enough at least to tbe cause
of music. They are also useless enough
to tho same cause, except in so
far as they furnish engagements to tbe
orchestral players and an occasional
singer. One great reason why they fail of
musical usefulness is because the fact that
dancing Is to be done makes it necessary to
enshroud them with a haze of social delusive
ness. The public at large, the stay-at-home
folk who most need such recreation during the
dogdajs, are not expected or desired to attend.
There is a great field for the genuine summer
night concert in this city. An energetic mana
ger could beyond a doubt take the mam Expo
sition building, hire a local orchestra with 25
or SO players with a sufficient variety of soloists,
give popular promenade concerts at least three
nights a week (Including Sunday) during tbe
summer, and draw paying houses right along
at 25 and 60 cents admission.

"THAT'S THE TICKET.
This slang expression is a corruption of THAT'S THE ETIQUETTEthat'i
the proper mode of procedure. Etiquette is the French word for a ticket, and its
present meaning in English arose from an old custom of distributing tickets, or
ETIQUETTES, upon which the ceremonies to be observed at any formal proceed,
ing were duly set forth. The modern word programme exactly corresponds to the
old Etiquette.
Russet Shoes Are the Ticket.
The dustless shoe is the proper thing for seaside and mountain use. Cease
struggling with the blacking brush. It is so pleasant to do away with the in
cessant polishing required to keep black leather bright during these summer
months. The Busset shoes retain their brightness until constant use has com
pletely worn them out They are so comfortable, look infinitely neater and mow
dressy, besides outlasting the other kind.
Headquarters for Russet Shoes.
We have a most complete stock of all kinds and shapes of Busset shoes for
ladies, gentlemen and theyoungerfolks. Everythingstylish andseasonablein these
indispensables are'found in our well-selected stock, and the prices are all right.
Our policy of giving the best goods for the least money is fully carried out la the
Busset shoe offerings to-day.
