A Prodigy is the Result of Environ ment as Well as Talent 60ME GUIDING WILL BECESSARY. Tie Eare Promise of Toutb. is Seldom Be "' alked in Alatnre Tears. PLATE GOSSIP OP GEKEEAL IKTEREST Another contribution irom a pen that car ries weight witb it has been received with pleasure and is printed below. It bears me title, "How Prodigies are Made:" Tnere is perhaps in this very title a chal lenge to popular opinion. It provokes the retort that they are not made; but like black Topcy, in "Uncle Tom's Cabin," they "just crowed." "He just can't help it," a remark made at Otto Hegner's concert, is upon exactly the same philosophical plat form as Topsy't spontaneous development theory. Our strong disposition to hero-worship, and almost superstitions lore of the mar velous, tend powerfully to a facile accept ance of such a theory. Undoubtedly the spontaneous selection, or strong predilection lor his chosen art, which impels the artist to express his thought and feeling in its mode and material, is a prerequisite to suc- cess. This special mental bias is called talent, or genius. And truly this element he "can't help." But it is of no benefit to humanity, unless he find the means of con veying his own finer perception of things to the minds of others less glited. He must reach our minds through our senses, either of sight or of hearing. Except in music, he must use some ma terial substance in which to embody his idea. Canvas and paint, stone and metal, are these commonplace substances crude and discouraging material enough, upon which to place a representation of an imma terial conception in such manner as to nro- dnce the same conception or mental state within the observer. The way in which alone this can be done constitutes the method of the ati. The de tails of manipulation are its technique. The selectiou and setting apart from com mon uses of the material, and the develop ment ol the method of handling it, is now relatively complete. Considering the in tractability ot these materials it is hardly to be wondered at that every art has con ventional methods ot expression, and that the observer must needs understand some thing of the art and these methods to group the idea intended. Something like an ini tiation, or what artists like to call the "cul tivation of the public," in the art-mode, must take place in order to make the art a xnedinm of communication between the art ist and public The lamented failures of the much-abused public to understand any art work are then perhaps as much due to this fundamental intractability of a physical material in the expression of an abstract idea as to the obtuseness of the ob server. No material or method has yet been devised that conveys an idea so directly as language itself. But what the arts lose in directness and explicitness they gain in poetry and subtilty, even as they are. And artists must be content with small audiences until more general cultivation removes a larger minority iarther lrom the attitude ol the booby in Joshua Wliitcomb, who wants to know "wlut color you weuld paint the barn to make it look yellow." But no one can appreciate the perversity and intractability of his material as does the artist himself. It is he who muststndy, work, experiment, analyze, and recombine until he has acquired lacility in dealing with his material, at least in recognized methods. This implies many years of min ute investigation and research, of intense and continuous acplication. This is so fatal a test of many aspirations that there are many definitions which call the vital characteristic of genius "a capacity for taking pains," "a consummate ability for hard work." Tnis is probably a rhetorical error; but it may serve to emphasize and introduce the other niental elements of genius, which balances and gives lorce and expression to the talent which is, without it, merely a resultless predisposition. This element in the artist is a determined will and undaunted courage to overcome tne great technical and mechan ical difficulties of the material side of bis art, and to acquire the special mental equip ment for its intelligent" use. "Talent," says Tolstoi, "he certainly has, but he lacks intellectual culture, a fault common to all Russian artists." Talent is native, culture and technique are acquired by severe application. The first, however great, is absolutely abortive without the second. The acquisition of it requires not only great and comprehensive mental power, but purpose, will and courage. "Enthusiastic" work is the only watcn word. All this applies, in music, to the com poser, the creative musician; much of it, and more, to the true interpretative musi cian, who has a greater method and tech nique of his instrument to gain, in addi tion to a similar mental and musical train ing. Our present tonal system is highly conventional and artificial. It can hardly be maintained that there has been a develop ment of musical capacity synchronously with the growth in complexity of the har monic system, especially as genius is said not to be hexeditary. Certainly no evolu tionist can say that there is any muscular and nerve improvement from Mozart to Rubin stein, corresponding to the increased diffi culty ot playing the piano; nor the most sentimental rhapsodist of the "divine spark" hope that his be-praised prodigy can ever be born with, so to speak, a piano in his mouthl However, the earlier his contact with the true forms ot his art, and the more scientific his training in executive ability the quicker and surer the result And so is your prodigy made. His work is none the less real because done at the will of another; and his accomplishments a natural consequence of his work and its correctness, as much as it is of his native ability. It is a question, first, of talent then of environment. It is a rule that his "environ ment" has included some individnal with authority, purpose and knowledge to direct his training from infantile years. Art is long, and the life of the prodigy is short, though generally longer than his advertise ments state. When arrived at adult years he may prove wanting inthose logicaftind philosophical powers, which can alone be the basis for the production or interpretation of great works. Baca adult verification of prodigious promise is the exception. Liszt recognized this when he refused to hear Xiansig at 14, by saying, "I will hear no prodigies." The London Musical Timet, alter judiciously praising the present condi tion of Hoffman and Hegues, says:., "We waut no more prodigies." It is difficult to instance the failures to , fulfill laitn ul promise, because the failures .are a forgotten majority, whose only name is Legion. Who remembers the furor in New York about Michael Banner, the prod- 'igy violinist, and who knows, now when or where he plays in the orchestra rank and file? The moral is: Don't put unbounded trust ,in prodigies; and don't believe that the sRreatest prodi;y ever accomplished any- lining wiuoui worK. 11 was Mozart who -iwroie mat nis iatner made mm practice till mhis fingers ached. Was he to conclude that SJlie had no talentf To such a talent the clear anticipatory appreciation of the thing to be done only shows the pursuant diffi- j culty ot the doing. It cannot judge of the work ot its own inspiration, which it easily 4 X doubt, but can be painfully conscious of the technical difficulty of its expression, Tt which is omninresent. JJEVEKIDOE WEBSTEB. mr. a. iiar u vuam, me a nsco nautlst. jna very readable letter to the American 'Musician, nays his resnectfi to the mimical jttBstciirs in hi wt cordial fashion. The kind words for amateurs in the capacity of critics and writers on music, merit espeoial ac knowledgment from those who, like the pres ent writer, fall within that category. One paragraph of Mr. Wysham's letter is a very neat expression of the reward which awaits those who pursue musical culture for its and their own sake, without any Idea pr becoming performers themselves quite in line with the consideration otieu urjjou tkaea inlnmno TTpTA It IB! "Upon the whole, we are inclined to think that the most enviable partaser 01 bumi felicity, in whom the pleasure is most pure n i.e. uifi.s u ttm nnf who has no stake of Vanity or anxiety in the matter, but who sits at overture, svmpnony orcuujuo i erent listener with closed eyes and swim minc cpmec hrlrhtpng at maior keys, sad dens at minors smiles at modulations, he knows not why, and then goes forth to his nTt mnmlnp'i tnll with steady hand and serene temper, while ever and anon the ir repressible echoes 01 past sounas oreat. jono. over desk or counter into jocund or plaint ive humming, as If the memory were re joicing too much in her sweet thefts to con ceal them." Mr. William J3. Holmes, well remem bered here as a prominent sooiety man and musical amateur, wis in the city last week on a flying visit. He returned by Wednes day's steamer to Paris, where he has been residing the past year. Mrs. Holmes (who was Miss Marguerite Derby, of Cincinnati) is the possessor of a high ' mezzo voice ot great clearness and beautv. It was one year under cnltivation by Yanuccici, of Florence, and has been for a year or more past under Mme. Marchesi's skilful care. After some years ot further study, Mrs. Holmes expects to enter upon tbe career of a concert and opera singer a step which it is good to see taken now-a-days by women of the highest social standing and large means, such as used to have no idea of a 'Jcareer" of any kind. Mr. Holmes was, of course, full of the latest Parisian musical talk. He spoke with rare enthusiasm ot Mme. Marchesi and her. methods. One bit of news he brought is that Miss Sybil Snderson, Massenet's pupil and protege, has gone to Mme. Marchesi to study her new roles. Is Massenet tired already o f the "EiffelTower" note? V Tbe "Idler," of the American Musician, contributes the following interesting infor mation: "One of the greatest men of this century, Cardinal Newman, is just dead. He was passionately fond of music, and his Stradi varius was his great source of enjoyment Of musicians, hiB favorite was Beethoven. "He was once challenged to a public de bate by some Protestant orator; he refused to meet this Boanerges. 'I'll not dispute with him, but if he will meet me, fiddle in hand, I am ready for the contest.' "Strangely, the author of the 'Oxford Tracts,' of so many theological works,of the Apologia pro vita sua, wrote the libretto Tor an opera. I wonder if the manuscript is in existence." Crotchets nnd Quavers. Saint-Sakns Is busy with a revision of Gluck's "Orpheus, from the original text. SIoltke recently gave a mnslcale at his resi dence, wben the pianist, Grunfeld. entertained numerous guests for three entire hours. Tbe last of the Guenther summer night festivals at Silver Lake Grove, which have been so successful, will take place next Friday. Mb. Edwaed German's new symphony in E minor will be produced in the course of the winter at the Crystal Palace Saturday concerts by .Mr. August Manns. The Third Presbyterian Church will reopen September 7, when its choir-gallery will contain tbe new soprano. Miss Beeslcy, of whom so many good reports are heard. The last of Mr. William Guenther's summer niht dances and concerts at Silver Lake Grove will be feiven this week on Friday, in stead of Thursday, the usual evening. Miss Blizabeth Cohet, Mrs. Mary B. Scott and Mr. Fred J.Bussman have been sum mering at Scalp Leiel. Mr. Bussman is still there, nut will rnn over to New York in a week or so. Ma. Richaed Mansfield has written and composed many songs. A collection of them, with both the words and tbe mnsic, wlU be pub lished in a handsome volume during the autumn. There Is an extraordinary demand for the vocal score of Mascagni's successful "Cavel leria Bustlcana," As many as 3,000 copies ot the score are said to have been sold within the last few days. Mb. Lahoueeux, of Paris, who will be tak ing his orchestra on a tour throngh Holland and Belgium in tbe course of tbe autumn, has in contemplation a visit to London, bnt matters are not yet settled. Anqelo Neumaxit, during his fire years' management of the Opera House at Prague,nas brought out no fewer than 42 operas new, that is. to Prague. It may be doubted whether there is any other opera house in Europe which can show sneb a record. Tbe Carl Rosa Grand English Opera Com pany began their regular tour on the 4th Inst, at Plymouth. Next month Planqnette's new opera will be brought out at the Prince of Wales Theater, with the American vocalist Miss Attalie Claire, in the title role. , The death of Mr. Charles S. Huntington has renfored a prominent figure from local musical circles. He was particularly enthusiastic on the subject of boy choirs, having organized one at St. Peter's P. E. Church years ago, as also tbe one at Trinity, of which he was conductor up to the last. Mrs. Richabd Wagner wrote last month to Albert R. Parsons in regard to his book on Wagner, as a theologian: "X am extremely thankful to .you for both your book and tbe lines which accompanied it 1 can assure you I am quite touched by the feeling which inspires you in these pages.1' AN Informal surprise party of .course musical in nature was bestowed upon Mr. and Mrs. Hanson W. Rose (the latter lately Miss Annie Chase) last Thursday evening at their Oakland residence. Among tbe party were Mrs. Mary R. Scott, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. B. Mr. John A. Strouss and Mr. Daniel E. Nuttall. The Music Committee of the Mozart Club have selected Cowen's cantata, 'The Rose Maiden," as the work for the first concert this season, and have ordered copies of the same. Now is the time to subscribe to the honorary membership list of Pittsbnrc's foremoit mnsi. cal organization. A ten dollar bill could hardly be better invested. Mb. Frank E. Saddler, of Pittsburg, has returned to Munich, after a delightful summer trip in company with his learned instructor, Mr. Joseph Stich. Having wrestled manfully and most successfully with the intricacies of fugue, canon and counterpoint, Mr. Saddler writes that he looks forward with great pleas ure to the coming year's study in the freer, wider lines of composition. He will probably return in about a year. .A London correspondent writes thns of a Pittsburg favorite, now with Mr. Harris' bril liant tronpe in the English metropolis: "A more wicked Carmen one could hatdly find than Mile. Zelie de Lussan, an American, who has been most successful on the opera stage. where sbe has sung very often, as well as in many private drawing rooms. I think Carmen -conld be considered one of her best roles, as her rich voice is so well adapted to the mu-Ic, while no one could be more bewitching. Some of ber gestures are a4 little exaggerated, but one conld easily pardon so slight a fault." Pure Blood Is absolutely necessary in order to have perfect health. Hood's Barsaparilla Is the great blood purifier, quickly conquering scrofula, salt rneum, and all other insidious enemies which attack the blood and undermine the health. It also bnilds up the whole system, cures dyspep sia and sick headache, and overcomes that tired eeling. "I hare taken two bottles of Hood's Sarsapa lUa for salt rheum and dyspepsia, with which I was troubled very much. After taking this medicine I am feeling as well as ever in my lire." G. W.

Captain O. O. Coon has removed bis place of business from McKeesport to Homestead. Major Greenland, quartermaster of the Second Brigade, was in the city for a few days during the past week. Colonel W. J. HtJLiNas and Adjutant Mc Sweeney, of the Sixteenth regiment, were in tbe city during the past week. Colonel Smith, has received a warrant from the Adjutant General for the horse hire for the mounted officers ot bis command. The State Fenclbles have had' issued to them 220 Springfield rifles, caliber 45, and have been ordered to the Hartranft range for rifle practice. Colonel Sxith has issued an order for in spection of quarters tor next Saturday night. Company commanders will have to bustlothe coinlDg week to prepare for It. From: reports It seems that the First Regi ment of Philadelphia will head tbe National Guard., It is also rumored that the Fourteenth and Eighteenth Regiments will not be far be hind. Lieutenant Joseph B. KAinonEu, or Company F, Eighteenth Regiment, is at pres ent putting in all bis spare time drilling a com. panyotSOO men for tho society parade next month. Tbe shoot for the Fourteenth Regiment medals now held by Sergeant England and Captain Coon, of Company L Eighteenth Regi ment, will occur on October 10 at the Four teenth Regiment range. The mady friends of H. J. Langham, ex quartermaster sergeant of the Eighteenth Regiment, will be pained to learn of his serious Illness. He has been conflned to his bed for over a month with pneumonia. During October tho Worcester Continen tals of Massachusetts, a battalion of four com panies armed and equipped in tbe style of the Revolutionary times, wilt visit Philadelphia as the guests ot tbe State Fenclbles. In a general order it is announced by Brig adier General Robert P. Dechert that be has assumed command of tbe First Brigade by virtue of his commission and special oruer No. 13 from the Adjutant General's office. The much talked of court, martial will be held soon, as tbe charges and specifications were sent to brigade headquarters shortly after the return from camp. Both ot the officers in terested think the v are in the right. A num ber of witnesses will be subpoenaed for both sides. Sebqeant Major lloid Flint. Tenth Regiment, has accepted a position in the Pitts burg postofflce, and will make bis home in this city. He will in all probability ask for hit dis charge from Colonel Hawkins, as be has re moved from the regimental limits. He would be a valuable acquisition to tbe local guard. Special order No. 85 from the Adjutant General's office disbands Company K, Second Regiment; the commanding officer to turn in all State property and issue proptr discharges to the enlisted men. Captain Theodore Geppert and Second Lieutenant Charles C. Lister, Company K., Second Regiment, are honorably discharged and their company dis banded. The pay for Musicians Lawlor, McEelvey and Davies for Camp Rippey, 1889, has been re ceived by Adjutant Reese, just one year after tbe service had been rendered. Their pay was refnsed on some technicality, bnt through tbe efforts of Adjutant Reese he finally convinced the Adjutant General that they were entitled to it. Captain J. P. Penney, Company G, and Lieutenant Horace F. Lowry, Company E, Eighteenth Regiment, left Monday evening for New York, where they will join Captain Davis and Lientenant Pearsnn. The party will visit Albany and Boston and on the return trip will stop off at Philadelphia. While in tbe above named cities they will visit the different (Armories to get pointers for tbe Interior of the new armory lor tne jsignteontn itegimont. It is understood that Major General George R.
