THE MUSIC "ffOELD.
Successful Performers Not the Only
Product of Musical Study.
eeal Abject to b& attained.
What Chautauqua Furnishes to LoTers of
the Art This Season.
LITE GOSSIP OP THE TWO CITIES
It all depends upon the point of Tie w.
An esteemed cotemporary in its musical
'leader" yesterday urges every pnpil to
ponder over the question: "Am I fitted to
attain a measure of success in music?" The
cttitude of the article is shown clearly in
these sentences:
A year, or Ices, of conscientions effort will,
in most cases, demonstrate the pupil's fitness
for mnsic or the reverse. Thereafter it is for
licr to decide whether the racks of mediocrity
aretobcanprentod by one member or not.
Unless a pnpil shows real apti
tude, she occupies a false and embarrassing
position before relatives and friends and
tLe public in general. It is pood
sense to welch well the pro and com, and then,
having decided, to resolutely give up a course
that can never lead to anything but mediocrity.
Buch a decision should be reached by many
now enjoying the summer vacation.
From the point of view of the family, the
next-door neighbors and the frequenters of
private musicales, the above advice is emi
nently sound, bo it is, too, lrom the stand
point ol those poor younj; loics wno, lor
mere fashion's sake, are set to learn to play
or sinp, and who tail into the hands of a
teacher with no idea above coaching pupils
to show off a certain glib facility
in the latest waltz or the newest popular
song. Indeed, from the standpoint of all who
regard music as nothing more than a fash
ionable accomplishment, a mere medium
for "showing off" before an admiring circle
of listeners, more or less numerous, that
must be deemed good advice, which tends
to decrease the number of mediocre per
formers thrust upon their attention.
But is this point of view correct? Is it
right that the sole, or even the chief, object
of musical study should be ti mate per
formers of any kind, good or bad?
Kot at alL Music affords to most
people the best and easiest to
many almost the only mode of
cultivating the aesthetic emotions, an
absolutely vital department of man's higher
nature. The aesthetic emotions bear a most
intimate relation to character, which is the
central object of all education. The first
and greatest aim of true musical study,
therefore, must needs be to develop the stu
dent's own love for and appreciation of
music
Mark that well. 3 he prime value of
musical study is in cetting the pupil to take
a personal interest in music for its and his
own rake, to make of it a language for
those sweet, indefinite emotions which he
cannot put in words, to find in it a ready
and sympathetic friend in those moods that
no human friend can understand, or re
spond t'o, if he could understand.
Last night a younp man who makes no
pretense whatever of being musical, while
listening to a comrade strumming idly and
not very artistically on the guitar, said to
the writer: "I often feel as if I would give
anything to be able to get off by myself and
jnst play away at something like that."
Everyone knows just such statesof feeling,
and if musical study did nothing more than
to furnish satisfaction for these innate
cravings of his soul, it would still be an in
estimable boon to every student. If it
goes yet further as it surely will, having
thus captured the very citadel if
it leads the student in among
the works of the masters, full of beauty and
nobility, inspiring, uplifting; if it directs
his attention to the great store of musical
history, biography, essays and other litera
ture: if it decoys him into investi
gating the laws of sound and
the great science of harmony
and composition if it does any or all of
these things, then musical study wiU have
accomplished that much more in building
up a well-rounded and true-hearted char
acter. And there is little need of such
characters in this mercenary age.
Note that all this may be accomplished
by the student working under proper guid
ance for his own benefit and education, with
out the slightest idea of ever playing or
singing a single note for others to hear.
And it is just this kind of musical cultiva
tion for which the vast majority of hnman
beings possess an inborn capacity, in greater
or less degree, whether thev possess sufficient
capacity to become artistic performers or
not.
Of course.it is music's proud distinction to
be the most social of all the arts. And it is
a perfectly proper ambition to wish to be
able to give musical pleasure to others. But
even from this point of view it is at once
apparent that there must be many more lis
teners than performers and that the per
formers cannot gain their highest meed of
appreciation unless the listeners have the ut
most power to appreciate. To confine music
al fctndy entirely to persons intending to
perform would be to rob those very per
lormers of tneir brightest laurels, which
consist in the praise of the most cultured
listener. You might as well say that the
education of the intellect is worth while
only for intending public speakers, who
would thus be deprived of all usefulness for
lack of an intelligent audience.
.
The following interesting, if somewhat
enthusiastic, personal gossip comes from
The DisrATCH's Chautauqua correspond
ent: Chautauqua is decidedlv musical this
year. Along this line she surpasses all
other years and attempts. She has, at
great expense, secured the best artists
in the land. For six years Prof. I.
T. Flagler has entertained the audiences.
He played at Flymonth Church in Chicago
for a period of seven years, and since that
he has devoted his time to musical study
and filling special engagements. Last
spring he dedicated the large memorial
church in St. Augustine, Fla., and 13
often called upon for such exercises.
Mr. Flagler is the author of
many compositions which have
been" popular both in England and
America. He is now at work upon a book
soon to be published by Schinner, of New
York. Tne music of Mr. Flagler is re
markable for its smoothness and beauty.
Always sympathetic and artistic at times
his playing is vigorous, dashing
and brilliant Again, he leads
you on enchanted with strains
calm, facile and beautiful. As an organist
or teacher his peers are few and his superiors
none. Not only is he a musical genius, but
a man of brilliant literary qualities, and his
lectures upon music and musicians
have been very popular. He has
a fonnJation for this turn of mind,
however, and he recently told me
of bow he began to work in a newspaper
office as "devil." eraduallv pushing him
self forward to higher positions until finally
lie was attracted away to his present pursuit
by his musical inclinations. The better
acquainted.with him you become, both as a
musician and a man, the better you will
like him.
He is a good talker, a firm friend and the
best of companions. Unlike most men of
genius, he can converse on everv subject
-.with the same pleasant felicity that he does
on musical terms. He appears a score or
more of times in his recitals each season, and
all entertainments in the amphitheater are
pre.accd by an organ solo.
Equally popular with not only musical
people at Chautauqua, but with every one,
Is W. H. Sherwood, the great pianist, who
appears for his second year at Chautauqua.
He was the first man this season to receive
the now celebrated Chautauqua salute
which every entertainer here craves as the
height of his ambition. Mr. Sher
wood, though yet a young man, un
doubtedly established his claim as
the leading pianist in America. His
genius came with his birth, and from the
itime he could reach the keys of the piano he
abas played before the public He has com--'joca
saany compositions for the piano-forte'
which have been received with high favor
bv great musicians, both in Amer
ica and Europe. His force and
tone are bis greatest qualities. Dur
ing nine months of the year be is
at the Chicago Auditorum, where he has
charge and musical direction. To know
Mr. Sherwood is to be his friend. Unas
suming, kind and genial, he has won as
manv admirers of the man as of the mu
sician. Associated with him in his work and
his constant companion in all things i
Mr. H. A. Kelso, a yonng gentleman of
great promise for the future. Mr. .Kelso
has been for many years a student of Mr.
Sherwood, and regards the great musician
with the feeling that a father might bear
toward his son. There is no feeling or envy
rankling in the breast of Mr. Kelso, as
'there often is between men of genius, hut he
regards the success of Mr. Sherwood as joy
fully as his own. Both have every hour
taken up by their pupils on the piano-forte.
The tenth free organ recital at Carnegie

interest awakened last year by a
similar series augurs well for the success of
this repetition. Mr. Krehbiel, Mr. Walter
Damrosch and others have made the same
plan really quite a fashionable fad in the
East. It is not often that fashion sets t her
fickle seal upon aught so artistically valu
abla. Anyone may subscribe for Mr.
Kevin's series, sure of both profit and
pleasure.
TOUT HABT CONFIDENT,
Yet Fhrslclani Say He Is Incurable and
Will Never Again Appear in Public.
BOSTOK, July 19. "I called on poor
Tony Hart at the Worcester Insane Asylum
the other day," said Virginia Bichmond,
the actress, to-day, "and "I was very much
surprised and delighted to find him looking
splendid. He's as fat as butter, his cheeks
are rosy and his eyes are bright. Yet the
physicians declare that he is incurable, and
that he will never again appear in public
It's very hard to believe It in the face of
Tony's excellent appearance, bnt I suppose
it's true. Several other actresses accom
panied me. All had known Mr. Hart in
his palmy days, and they were delighted to
find that he recognized them at once, calling
them all by name. He is one of the best pa
tients, always kind and considerate, fond of
outdoor exercise, and olten acts as umpire
at the base ball games played by the in
mates. "He spoke without reserve of his sur
roundings, saying he was treated very well,
and seemed particularly pleased because so
many of his old professional friends had
visited him this summer. Mr. Harrigan
was among the number, be said. There was
only one theme that visibly affected him,
and that was a mention of his wife's death.
Occasionally we noticed a difficulty in his
utterance that is one feature of his disease.
and now and then his memory was defective;
but a stranger would have called Tony Hart
a well man. He is still quite confident of
recovery, and even spoke about going on the
road again in a new play."
SOT WOBTE THE CANDLE,
Law and Orderlies Par No Heed to the
Urchin at the Cigarette's End.
The Law and Order Society of Philadel
phia has announced that it has no intention
of starting a crusade against the venders of
cigarettes to children under the age of 16
years, but that it will prosecute every case
presented to it if it can be made ont by in
vestigation. Tne society Has entered one
prosecution, but it is on information re
ceived. The penalty is a fine of 5300.
William Yost, Esq., attorney for the Law
and Order Society here, states that it is not
moving in the matter, for the law, though a
good one in the abstract is worthless in the
concrete He stated that a boy under 16
would not likely find much trouble in get
ting one above that age to buy cigarettes, if
the party of the fiist part were vicious
enough to want them, and in consequence
the enforcement of the law is surrounded
with almost insurmountable difficulties.
The idea will susrgest itself that the pa
rents of the adolescents are themselves the
ones who can do most toward breaking up
the pernicious practice If a boy or girl is
hopelessly vicious, conceived in sin and
born in iniquity, inheriting vicious tastes,
he will probably be incapable of reforma
tion, as the sour grapes eaten by the fathers
will continue to keep his teeth on edge dur
ing life, but it he start, as he should, with a
sound body, careful instruction will -keep
him cut of trouble. Prevention knocks the
spots off cure any day, and kind counsel will
work wonders, when comins from a trnsted
parent.
MEBELY A SENSATIONAL BUMOB.
W. H. Holme Not Dead, but Enjoying Him
self at Atlantic City.
It was reported yesterday that W. H.
Holmes, of W. H. Holmes & Son, had died
at Atlantic City. Mr. Holmes has been a
sufferer from rheumatism for a couple of
years, and Friday his son Charles, one of
the proprietors of the Monon gabela House,
was sent for, and this seems to have occa
sioned the rumor of the demise.
A telegram received from Atlantic City
last evening by The Dispatch states that
Mr. W. H. Holmes spent yesterday after
noon quite oomfortably at the Hotel
Brighton, conversing with his friends in
the hotel rotunda, and that all rumors re
garding his serious indisposition were false.

Chicago, July 19. The assessors of the
West and South towns of Chicago are not
alone in the work of increasing the assess
ments on unimproved property in Chicago
and vioinity, and making it pay taxes at
about the same rate it would pay if built
upon. Assessor A. J. Mayer, of Hyde
Park, a big suburban community which
has just been taken into the Chicago city
limits, has jnst completed his assessment,
and his figures have caused a series of deep
and prolonged howls from numerous
speculators who are holding "acres" there
for a rise. A lot which last year was as
sessed at $900 is -this year assessed by Mr.
Mayer 814,000. A 40-acre tract which last
year was assessed at $18,600 is assessed this
year at $61,000.
The vacant land lying along the beauti
ful Drexel boulevard, upon which av nom
inal price has been put heretofore, has been
assessed at figures closely approximating
its real value. But there has been
no corresponding increase in the
assessed valuation of land with houses built
upon it The result of chances is an in
crease in the total valuation from $9,511,755
last year to $13,587,569 this year, which
means that the owners of unimproved land
will have to pay so much greater a propor
tion of the taxes.
The new policy adopted by the three as
sessors is the result in part of numerous
petitions which were presented to them last
year for a higher valuation of unimproved
realty. As far as appears, the changes
which they have made have been approved
by public sentiment and by the press.
A DESPERATE L0VEB.
He Shoots the Girl Who Scorned Him A
Tragedy Up iuo Allegheny Valley.
rSFSCIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH
Mahokihg Station, Pa., July 19.
Near Mahoning station, Allegheny Valley
Bailroad, a tragedy was enacted last night
which may result in the death of Miss Lizzie
Cousens, a prepossessing youpg lady of the
blonde type, age about 19 years. For the
past two years, John Fink has been paying
attention to Miss Cousens, and was desper
ately in love with her. His affection has
not "been reciprocated, which fact aronsed
the desperate man.
Friday night Miss Cousens, in company
with a number of young folks, attended a
church festival at Tempelton, near Mahon
ing. About 10:30 o'clock the party started
home, Fink accompanying them. When
but a short distance from the station Fink,
without a word of warning, walked up to
Miss Cousens' side, drew a 32-caliber re
volver from his hip pocket and shot ber.
The ball entered the left shoulder and came
out under the right arm. The unfortunate
victim was carried to the hotel at this place.
Dr. Wyant was called and dressed her
wound. Fink was arrested this morning at
Bed Bank and is. now in jail. It is said
that Miss Cousens is highly respected by
all who knew her, and has always borne a
good character.

SEIZUBE BY TOOLE SAM.
The Genesee Oil Company, of Buffalo, Lose
230 Barrels of Nnpbilin.2
Chicago, July 19. The United States
authorities this afternoon seized the 250
barrels of naphtha belonging to the Genesee
Oil Company, of Buffalo, which was
shipped here on the steamer Tioga. The
seizure was made because of the violation of
the law regarding the shipping of fluid, the
company marking the barrels of naphtha
simply "Diamond B."
The statute under which the seizure was
made provides for the sale of the oil, the
sum derived therefrom to be appropriated
to Uncle Sam. The section also provides
for criminal prosecution. The guilty
parties can be imprisoned for a term of not
more than 18 months and sentenced to pay
a fine of not more than $2,000.

A hundred years ago the mysteries of every

case in discoveries In the "healing art" It Is
true that many of these vaunted nostrums are
worthless, and it is better that they are not

Tutt's Pills Is, that he does not keep their com
position a secret. Any one acting from pure
motives can know It. The better they aie
known, the more they are appreciated. Scien

Laird's : Wholesale : House.
The extraordinary large amount
of goods passing through our
hands during the past week
convinces us that our bargains
have struck in the right place.
We shall continue to boom
the trade right along up to fall,
as the inducements offered are
real and the saving to our cus
tomers so considerable that
they have taken us at our word,
which has helped to relieve us
of our surplus stock in large
measure.
Shoe dealers who buy for
cash or thirty days will find us
still ready for them with Boots,
Shoes and Rubbers at bargain
prices during this week.
Order at once,as later we may
not be able to duplicate pres
ent prices.
