THE MUSIC WORLD,
Western Pennsylvania to Take a
Prominent Part in the State
Music Teachers' Meeting.
PITTSBUKGEKS ON THE LISTS.
Points of the Concert Given by the Musical
Association of Allegheny at
Carnegie Hall.

As the time draws nigb, interest prows
apace as to the second annual meeting of
the Pennsylvania State Music Teachers
Association, to be held at Philadelphia on
the last three days of the present year. The
sometimes somnolent citizens of the State's
metropolis seem to have awakened to a real
izing sense of their opportunities more fully
than they did last year, and it is confidently
expected to distance the first meeting's
record.
That record, by the way, has just been is
sued in complete - pamphlet shape. It
makes very interesting reading to music
lovers throughout the State. The "Western
members seem to have upheld their end ad
mirably in the official business, tbe theoret
ical papers and discussions, and the actual
musical" performances all of which will
be found set out at length in the official re
port refened to.
For this year our end of the State is folly
represented on the list of officers, which has
already appeared in these columns. On tbe
programmes will he noted these Pittsburg
names: Mr. Ad M. Foerster, as composer; Mr.
Beveridge Webster, as essayist; Mr. Charles
Davis Carter, asorcauist and composer; Mrs.
K. O. Lippa and Mr. Eugene C Hcffley, as
pianists, and Miss Agnes Yogel, soprano.
Mr. Carl Better will probably be present
and, if so, will play some accompaniments.
Mr. Harry M. Mays, the baritone, formerly
of Pittsburg, will be one of the vocalists in
a concert with Mr. Carter, his old teacher,
to whom be accredits so much of his recen:
success.
There is, therefore, enough of actual par
ticipation from this vicinity to ground a
lively local interest. But the great reason
why all should join and in every way
help along the good work is
that the association represents
the common musical weal of
the entire State, and is specially devoted to
the development of our own musical re
sources, both creative and reproductive.
Pittsburg has a further very strong reason
for doing well by this year's meeting, in
that we will tlaabtless have the next year's
meeting on our hands, and will then want
the others to do well by us.
Anyone at all can join the association
either as an active or as an associate mem
ber; the fee in both cases being the modest
sum of one dollar. Mr. Gittings, Mr. Dorn
berger, Mr. Foerster or Mr. Carter, who are
among the local officers, will no doubt
cheerfully take all offers. It will be a dol
lar well spent by any person at all inter
ested in the general cause of music in Penn
sylvania. The Allegheny Association's Treat.
The Musical Association, of Allegheny,
on opening-its second season last Tnesday
evening at Carnegie Hall, was greeted by a
large, cultured and appreciative audience.
This was the programme :

Lack of space forbids more than the
briefest review of the very enjoyable per
formance. Hiller's massive choruses, which
are well remembered from a Mozart
Club concert two years or so ago,
formed a severe test for the yonnr chorus
that Conductor Lafferty has been drilling with
such evident care. The efforts of tbe singers
under these conditions ucre successful to a
degree worthy of much praise; but there were
various points at vhich it became clear that a
more solid and better disciplined body of
voices is needed for full effectiveness in such
heavy, sustained and complicated choral writ
ing. In tho two pretty part-snnj;s further
down tbe programme, Mr. Lafferty and his
singers earned nothing but commendation.
The exquisitely refined dynamic shading, in
particular, might serve as a model to many
other choruses much older ana much richer in
good voices.
Mr. William J. Lavin, the tenor, proved to be
the posses'or of a voice unusually rich and
mellow in quality ana of considerable range.
A most artistic finish and intelligent phrasing
made his singing nliolly admirable from a tech
nical point of view. Dramatic feeling, too. was
displayed in his interpretations, which won
instant favor alike with musicians and laj
mciL Mrs. Anna MooneyBurch showed
a clear, pure soprano ot good compass, which
she managed with no little skill, especially as
regards the mezzo, voce It as doubtless this
latter strong point thatoccasioned her peculiar
interpretation of the beautiful and passionate
Bung by Grieg, which she made a study in long,
high tones pianuaml. Miss Miller and Mr.
Bell sang and placed tiitn their accustomed
effectiveness.
Robin Hood at the Dnqnesno.
There is just room for a word of congratula
tion to all concerned including especially the
great American public in tho new comic
opera "Rohm Hood," which a presented at
the Duquesue by The Bostonlans last week. It
may be best described, both in book and score,
as a work that could have been brought out by
Gilbert & feullivan with little chance of
having its joint authorship questioned.
DeKoven's music is a great improvement
over his previous efforts in that he has here
been able to keep his best toot forward all the
way through. While decidedly in theSulli
vaman vein it is not by any means
a slavish imitation: while not at any point
quite up to Sullivan's finest points, it
does maintain an average nearly, if not quite
as high, hnnth's bright, clean and lively book
deserves its full share of the credit. One ele
ment in the pleasure given by this work lies
doubtless in the fact th3t tbe good old tale of
the outlaw of Sherwood forest (a common
heritage of the Auglo-baxon race like all its
folk lore: and not at all to be claimed as En
glish") is associated with the happy childhood
days of nearly all persons in the audience.
There is every reason, to felicitate ourselves,
as Americans, upon the production of a work
which, while not of the highest type, is a thor
oughly good specimen of Its class a class of
light opera wurthy ot special encouragement
in these (lass when farce, bnrlesnue and corse-
play so commonly masquerade as comic opera,
and monopolize the stage with results not any
too good to cither music or morals. The very
exceptional evenness and excellence of the
pcrlormance by the artists of this favorite light
opera troupe contributed in large measure to
the signal success of "Robin Hood."
Crotchets and Quavers.
Miss Pauline ali.emami, well remem
bered here, has organized an opera troupe of
her own. and will open to-morrow evening at
ban Frandisco with "Lucia."
The Cathedral Band, with Miss Grace Mil
ler, soprano, and Miss Lillian Reddick. pianist,
wilt give a concert at Lafayette Hall next
Wednesday evening. Mr. J. Rohris conductor
of this well-known local military band.
Kew York's critics seem never to have been
more unanimous or more generons in their
praise of the Boston Symphony Orchestra's
work, than in tbe reviews of tbe concert given
by Mr. Kikisch and his band in tbe metropolis
last Tuesday evening.
The once famous violinist, Camillo Sivori.
who has long been in retirement in Paris, has,
at the somewhat advanced age of 75, resolved
"this winter to undertake a fresh artistic tour in.
Italy. Sivori, who was born at Genoa, October
25, 1S15. was the only pupil of Paganini, who
composed several works for him.
The London critics give very high praise to
Perotti's assumption of the roles of LohengHn
and Tannhatmcr. Surely Jules must have been
sipping sedatives pretty steadily in the year and
a halt since he pirouetted around the stage at
Pittsburg's May Festival.
Mr. Ethelbekt Nevht announces a piano
forte recital at Chlckering Hall, Boston, Tues
day evening, December 16. The programme
will include pieces by Brahms. Raff, Grieg.
Chopin, Liszt and Kevin. Mr. Kevin will be
assisted bv Mrs. Walter C. Wyman, who ap
peared at his last recital in Pittsburg.
Scenes from Xaver Scharwenka's new
opera, "Mataswmtha." were performed in
Berlin last month before an invited audience of
prominent musicians and critics, who were en
thusiastic in their applanse. Tbe same selec
tions are to be given at the Kew York concert
in January, with which Mr. Scharwenka's
piano-playing tonr will begin.
The rumors of stilt another opera by Verdi
will not down. It is to a be "Falstaff." tbey say,
and the 78-year-old maestro is well into the sec
ond act in its composition. Doubtless the re
generated Italian composer could produce an
opera comique rivalling "Die Meistersinger"
more nearly than his "Otello" rivals the
modern music dramas of the tragedy species.
The Art Musicale was entertained on Tues
day evening by Miss McCreery, of Lincoln ave
nue. Miss Kaderiy, Miss McCreery, Miss
Flower, Miss Oehmle'r. Mr. F. J. Bushman,' J.
A. Strouss. Leo Oehmler and Theodor Salmon
took part in toe programme. The old officers
were re-elected for the current year, namely:
Mr. H. S. Stevenson, President: Mr. Ross v.
Drum, Vice President, and Mr, Rutan, Secre
tary. According to tbevcracious Louisville Cour
icr -Journal, De Pachman taitl to a reporter all
this and much more of tbe same sort: "Music
lessons? Bab! Liszt nevair took ze lessons
and neither did Vladimir de Pachmann, maes
tro, zerouvellcLizt. Eef ze people zat bear
me don't know me, I know myself, and I know
I haf genius not talent, but genius and zat I
am as great as Li'zt. Tbe people ought to be
thankful that God gave such genius to me."
This is positively refreshing!
It is stated that Beethoven's "Fidello" is
soon to be produced at the Paris Grand Opera
for the first time. Chauvinism seems really to
be on the wane. Encouraged by the favor
shown to Wagner's compositions .at the La
inoureux. concerts and to the act from."Lohen-
grin," recently sprung upon an unsuspecting
audience at a benefit pftformance in tbe new
Lyriqne. Mr. Catulle Mendes and others are
said to be preparing a complete production of
Tristan and Isolde," to be tried first on an in
vited andicnce.
Mr. Silas G. Pratt writes pointedly and
with much truth, as follows: "One word to
young composers. Don't write unless you have
an idea. Don't think that by taking a few notes
and calling them a motive and repeating them
all in different keys, it is a composition. It is
no more a composition than it would be a poem
to write thus: 'The day is cold and dark and 1
tireary. xne aau is com ana dark, etc. The
day is cold, etc The day is coW. etc.' Simple
renetition of one sentence in different pitch of
voice or accentuation does not make a poem;
ditto musical composition."
In a recent letter from Mr. Frank E. Saddler
occurs the following evidence that the studies
in composition he is now pursuing at Munich,
under Director Joseph Stich, are bearing,
fruit: "Mvphantasia for string quartet (with,
mutes) atid full orchestra is finished ana wilr
bo put on tbe desks of ihe Verkehrsbeamttr
X'eiein Orchestra on Wednesday evening.
Fach's Orchestra will alo give it in concert
later at the Buerger-Saenger-Zunfl. It is
rather short lasting but a little over six min
utesbut spicy and interesting throughout.
At least such is Stich's opinion, who has
praised it much and will attend the next re
hearsal." Smateeglia, tbe composer of the opera
"The Vassal of Szlgeth," which was brought
out at tbe Metropolitan Opera House, Kew
York, last Friday, composed a new baritone
aria, for. iiertion in his work, expressly for
Theodore Reichman, and wrote to him: "I
hope that this afterthought will please you,
and I am convinced that the most Important
part of the onera is intrus'ed to tho best possi
ble interpreter in tbe world. It was a piece of
ill-fortune that befell me when you left Vienna
shortly before the 'Vassal' was produced."
Owing to the lateness of Saturday's mails the
verdict of Kew York's critics on tbe new opera
has not been received here at this writing.
The Mozart Club will give Handel's "Mes
siah" at its next concert. December SO. with
Mrs. Johnstone-Bishop. of Chicago, Miss Mar
garet Frazier. Mr. HB. BrockettandMr.Jobn
A. Strouss as soloists.. A Christmastide pro
gramnieof this greatest of oratorios Is a musical
and religious duty to every self-res necting city;
it iB good to see Pittsburg again in line with the
scores of communities where this appropriate
custom is constantly observed. As the Mozart
Club'sassociate members make one single audi
ence of themselves, it would be an excellent
thing to repeat tbe oratorio on tbe following
evening for tbe general public, at prices within
the reacb ot all. "Tbe Messiah for the masses"
makes a good watch a ord for Christmas.
The next entertainment in the Star Course
at Carnegie Hall. Allegheny, takes place next
Tuesday evening. The famous Philharmonic
Club, one of Kew York's leading chamber
music organizations, including Mr. Richard
Arnold, violin, and Mr. Eugine Werner, flute,
will be assisted by Miss Marian S. Weed, a
well-known metropolitan singer, and Mr. Bev

pLECTRO THERAPEUTICS AND SUR
JCJ GERY. Surgical electricity. Sunerfluous
hair on the female face.
Superfluous hair is an excessive growth of
hair on the female face, seen mostly on the
upper up. enm, under
tne chin, cheeks, fore
head (between the
eyei), nose and ears;
also on men's cheeks,
above the beard line,
and tbe hand?, arms
and breast; also prows
from moles and birth
marks. This obnox
ious growth of facial
hair is suprisinRly
prevalent. We see it
in tue drawing room,
.church, theater, on
the street, and where-
ever ladies congre
gate. This is one of
the most unsightly,
annoying and humili
ating bieimxhes that
any sensive, refined lady can be afflicted with.
Every lady with bair on her face knows to her
sorrow that depilatories, heated wax, soap
stone, the tweezers, scissors and razor, all
make these balrs crow harsher, coarser, darker
and more numerous.
'mere Is nosltlvelyoiily oncmeihod in the world
by which hairs can be permanently destroyed
and that Is by the
ELECTPIC NEEDLE OPERATION.
Dr. Van Dyck, Electro Surgeon, 50: Fenn ave
nue, devotes several boars dally to the permanent
removal of superfluous hair by tne electric
needle. This Is a purely scientific operation and
Is Indorsed bv all physicians and surgeons of
eminence as bein the unly method in the world
by which the root or sack can be destroyed to tbe
hair can never grow azaln. Dr. Van Dyck was
the second physician la the world to perform
this operation and was th first to make a success.
He has operated Tor 15 yrars, has treated hundreds
of cases and can assure a permanent cure In every
case even lr ynu have a beard. Dont neglect your
case another day.
KEDNK3SUPTHE.N0SE.-The nose becomes
flushed from the least excitement or change from

comes chronic red, after a while long.
voluted and branched veins appear on the top and
end of the nose. There Is also red pimples, pus
tules, enlarged pores and greaslness; the nose In
some cases becomes enlarged and modulated.
This same condition often extends to the checks,
is Acne Kosacae of the hooks, a disease which at
tracts attention and excites uncomplimentary
comments; Is humlllatlm? for any one to be
obliged to carry the visible signs of dissipation
while thev may bo most temperate affects both
sexes, and is a detriment to anyone no matter
what their station In life may be.
Dr. Van Dyck has perfected a treatment which
never falls to cure this suggestive facial deform
