The music-loving people of this Vicinity
are to-day offered a great opportunity.
Our means of musical culture have hith
erto been utterly inadequate, not to say
wholly lacking, as regards the entire liter
ary side of the art. We bare had no musical
books to work with. The valuable col
lection some years ago donated
to the Mercantile Library by Mr.
Charles C. Jlellor was a good begin
ning in the right direction; but it did not
purport to be at s 11 a complete worklbg
libary, and for a variety of reasons has not
in fact attained the degree of general use
fulness it ought to have. (Individual
teachers and musicians hereabouts do not,
and really could not be expected to, possess
any better imitation of a library than a mu
sical dictionary, a few technical works on
their own special departments and some
chance volumes of various kinds. Pew, in
deed, possess so much.
In point of fact, scarcely anyone in this
population of 500,000 has had more than a
ghost of a chance to peep into the vast
treasure-house of musical literature. Yet
the past two or three seasons have clearly
shown an advance in the amount of patron
age given to musical teachers and entertain
ments, quite in line with the advance made
by the community in a material war. The
public interest in music was never so great,
and never before has there been such need
for the means whereby this public interest
can become intelligent.
More pressing yet is the need of those
who are earnestly at work in the study of
music, whether as amateurs or with profes
sional intent. It has been a crying shame
that in all this great city the student of the
art universal should seek in vain lor that
all-nePdful light upon his path which books
alonc'can lurnish. If both the leaders and
the led be blind or compelled to walk in
darkness, which amounts to the same thing
what wonder if thev be found stumbling
along in the ditch? In music, as elsewhere,
knowledge is power; he who is cut off irom
the great Etore of accumulated knowledge
can hardlv be other than feeble, narrow and
self-satisfied.
A
A Grent IHnn's Great Library.
But the day of deliverance is at hand.
It dawns with the present opportunity of
bringing to Pittsburg, under a plan promis
ing the widest public usefulness, the mu
sical library of toe late Karl Merz, the
founder and for many years principal of the
Musical Department of the University of
Wooster, O., and who was for nearly a
quarter of a century editor of Brainard's
Musical World an author whose writings
are more widely quoted on both sides
of the ocean than, perhaps, those
of anv other American writer upon
musical subjects. Karl Merz was a noble
character, one w hose influence on the de
velopment of the art in "this country (es
pecially in the Middle and "Western States)
cannot be estimated. His name is held in
peculiarly affectionate reverence by thou
sands of readers and pupils. It is, there
fare, eminently appropriate and desirable
that this musical library, which forms the
only material accumulation of his long and
useful life (as it is the only property left for
his widow by this unselfish worker), should
be kept intact and made a memorial ot his
name.
The character of the man and his work is
fleeted in his library, than which there are
certainly but very fer superior among the
private collections in this country. It com
prises about 1.200 volumes, treating of all
departments ot music and cognate sub
jects. It contains not a few old and rare
editions, books that cannot be got anytime
you choose, but must be picked up,
if at all, here and there when
ever the chance occurs. It is
particularly rich iu files of musical jour
nals, early and late, domestic and foreign.
Besides these aud other specialties, it com
prises what may fairly be termed a com
plete working library lor the student ot
almost any branch of the science and art
of music.
Of course, there are many books
misMng that one would fain see
included, and there are some that
will not be of much use. Quite a consider
able numbcrare in the German language
alo a matter of course, since that has long
been the chief storehouse of musical lore.
But taken altogether, the library is ex
ceptionally complete and possesses unique
features difficult, if not impossible, to du
plicate. It is undoubtedly well worth the
52,000 asked for it, having been appraised
at about 3,500 last spring by Schuberth,
the New York musical publisher and book
seller. Some IJurr Work.
As a sample of the older works included
in the Merz library the first half hundred

The present effort to secure this rich treas
ure for Pittsburg is now presented for the
support of the public, with its success prac
tically assured by four generous art patrons
(whose names are lor the present withheld)
who have subscribed $1,000, just one-half of
the price of the library. The total snm to
be raised is fixed at 2,500, to cover the ex
pense of getting the books here and putting
them in shape for use. The exact condi
tions upon wbieh the $1,000 has been sub
scribed, and upon which further subscrip
tions are now asked, are as follows:
We, the undersigned, do hereby subscribe
and agree to pay unto Charles C. Mellor.Ueorce
A Macbeth and Charfes W. Scovel, trustees
for tbe purpose hereinafter set forth, the
amounts set opposite our respective names, to
ue uy mem applied 10 ine purpose oi onying,
transporting. castnc ana cataloguing the muslo
al library of tbe late Karl Merz. now at Woos
ter, O.; the title to said library. when so bought,
to vest forthwith in the Academy of Science
and Art of PIttebnrg, which shall take custody
thereof and provide for its present use in the
best manner practicable, until suoh time as tbe
Public Library for wblch buildings have been!
offered to said city of Pittsburg bT Andrew
Carnegie, Esq., shall be in actual operation,
whereupon the said musical library shall bo
turned over to tbe trustees of the said
Public Library, and the title thereto shall
vest In them for like public Uses with the other
property Intrusted to tbetn; provided, that the
said musical library shall, as far as reasonably
practicable, be kept together, undivided, form
ing all or part of a distinct alcove, section or
other division of said Public Library, which shall
be permanently designated as the "Karl Merz"
musical alcove section or otherdivislon. Each
of onr said subscriptions hereunder is made in
consideration of and conditional upon the ob
taining ot other subscriptions therewith to the
total amount of $2,500 on or before the first day
of October, ISM, on which dato all our said
subscriptions are hereby made payable by us,
respectively, or by our respective executors or
administrators, in case of the prior decease of
any of us.
Everybody having any interest whatever
in the musical advancement of the com
munity is requested to subscribe what he
can, be it much or little, and to do all he
can to induce others to subscribe. Sub
scriptions may be made through any one of
the 'three trustees named, or may be ad
dressed to the Musical Editor of The Dis
patch. Tbe cash may ora may not be en
closed, as the subscriber desires, but all who
do enclose the money will please give direc
tions for its return, in case this effort should,
for any reason, fail of its object.
It will be noticed that "each subscription
is conditioned upon the raising of the entire
sum by Saturday, October 11, and it is
hoped to raise it much sooner, as there are
other plans for buying this library, as a
whole or in part, aud taking it elsewhere.
It behooves everyone interested to act quick
ly, else the prize may slip from Pittsburg's
eras p. We cannot afford to lose such an
opportunity, which is not likely to occur
aguin in many years.
Subscribe yourself and get others to do bo
and that without delay.
It is pleasant to note the wide interest
taken in the able articles that Mr. Webster
has contributed to this department. His
pungent reply to an Eastern assailant is
here given:
M. W. in the New York Star of Sunday,
has a two column article evidently inspired
by, and freely quoting from my article on
"prodigies" in The Dispatch of the
previous week. He agrees with me, except
I think where he has not understood the
purport of my article. His chief mis
apprehension of my point is expressed in
this sentence: "The writer whom I
have quoted seems to think that most
of the prodigies who have come to amount
to anything, have been the made rather than
the born prodigies." Kow I do not think
that, and if anyone can gather that from
what I said, it is an example of the diffi
culty of "mastering the material" iu which I
sought to convey my idea. I say that "in this
very title 'How Prodigies are Made,' there
is probably a.challenge to popular opinion.'
M. W. accepts the challenge only in that
one point, and that is of his own invention.
I do not there distinguish between inborn
talent and training as occurring in two in
dividuals, but as two ''elements" in the
success of.one and the same individual. I'
recognize the combination of these two
elements, when existing in a phenomenal
degree in infantile years as producing a
precocious prodigy.
I took no time to discuss would-be prodi
gies without real talent. In maintaining
the deduction he has drawn, my respondent
uses such passages from my article as suit
that purpose, and yet he has quoted in one
paragraph this sentence: "It is a question
first of talent, tften of environment" I
may also quote myself: "Undoubtedly spon
taneous selection or strong predilection for
the chosen art is a prerequisite to success."
These quotations may be allowed to define
my position on that side of the question.
M. W. will please note that my article is
limited to a column, aud attempts to discuss
the point philosophically; and if he will
look with a newspaper man's eve at a later
article in The Dispatch (which I sent
him) he will see that a tendency to pass that
limit was promptly discouraged by the use
of a smaller type. It is hard to be complete
in such space, yet I think a closer reading
win sustain ray aeience.
Furthermore, my purpose is purely prac
tical and pedagogicuot literary or rhetorical.
It is always easy to get credit for a refined
taste and an appreciation of what is artistic
aud evanescent by a little miscellaneous
"gush" and sentimentality. There are,
therefore, 1,000 writers and speakers to
magnify an incomprehensible, uncommuni
cable and mysterious "talent," to one who
is willing to magnify tbe other side of the
case the need of will and work to cause
talent to fructify.
Wfaere mistaken Aro Blnde.
This last is the only practical subject
Tbe damage that Is done, not by training
children in music from their earliest con
sciousness, bnt by exhibiting them as
prodigies, is often great, not only to the
prodigy himself, but to students who are
compelled to think themselves untalented,
because they must work, and who are
taught by the rhapsodical partisan of the
prodigy that he has arrived at his results
solely by tbe natural force of talent with
out work. This is not directly stated,
but it is implied by absolute omission
of the factor of training. It is the
business of tbe manager of the show to ap
peal to the love of the marvelous in his ad
vertising of the prodigy, ana so to work
up a furor about him. And the mass of
writers fall in line and re-echo the popular
voice.
Let M. "W. look at home. ..Was the
furor about Josef Hoffman genuine appre
ciation of him as a musical prodigy? If so,
why was it so much less about Hegner,
whom' all critics agreed to be superior to
Hoffman? 1 do not believe what is implied
in the Star article, that all of the thou
sands tbat are studying musio without spe
cial talent are wasting their time, cor that
they study to "acquire" talent.
I believe in music as a means of general
education as firmly as in mathematics, but,
as Budyard KipliDg would say, "that is
m.hK1a ft. a,V MiA-Li. . f N flp i-Ay--- rV fc ? -i .Ti irfl iWii 1 riwi? i'tfftiiBHPHssMssBsMsfilssPW tffc xtMwi
another story." Meanwhile, M, W. agrees
with me in so many points that 1 can easily
exouse him for demolishing A straw matt oi
his own construction, and tor attributing to
me his creation a a genulda individual.
He will therefor see no malice in my'
supplying now the name of the author of
the definition of "genius," whom I quoted
without giving his name, and whom, by
name, M. W. would perhaps have hesitated
to characterize. &s he has done, 4s "a MdOm
ing dracular idiot." His nans was Goethe.

A Family
Tamed Oat In the ttflltf, but

Thomas Gangton, wife and family, who
live at the head of South Eighth on
Clinton streets, were evicted from the house
in which they lived yesterday morning for
the non-payment of rent, and the household
furniture was sold under the hammer of the
auctioneer.
The crowd of neighbors, who gathered in
the poorly furnished rooms, were there in
sympathy, more than for the purpose of
buying the household effects of the un
fortunate family.
Tbe goods were disposed or for 35 cents.
This sum bought several bedsteads, a stove
and other articles of furnishmenL The
constable and his attendants took the goods
and piled them up near the railroad. About
this time it began to rain, and a most pitiful
scene was presented.
The buildings are owned by a Mr. Griffin,
and the landlord's warrant was Issued
through the real estate office of Baxter,
Thompson & Co,, Fourth avenue.
Tbe debt of the landlord was apparently
satisfied, as the evicted family moved again
into tbe house. The wife could not under
stand the proceedings at all, and stood as
though dazed.

for voice culture at 955 Penn avenue, Pitts
