THE MUSIC WORLD Programme for the Meeting of tbc Music Teachers of the State at Philadelphia. PITTSBURG WELL KEPBESEBTED. AHvmn Written Kleven Centuries Aso and Prom Which the Scale Was De rived tendered Here. DESCRIPTION OP A KEW ORGAK. An Isterntisg Budget of Local and Qesenl Sm Con coning tie Art Emm. The second annnal meeting of the Penn sylvania State JIusic Teachers' Association will convene at Philadelphia to-morrow, with evcrr prospect of affording a most pleasant and profitible experience to those who are present, and of further assuring the permanent success of an organization calcu lated to benefit greatly all musical interests throughout the Commonwealth. A glance at the programme below given will best show the scope and variety of the aork cut out for the young organization. The absence ot an orchestra is, no doubt, the reason why no choral features are present, and the absence of an orchestra is, of course, due to the non-solution of the financial problem which, in this connection, has been so perplexing to all like bodies. By next ear, let us hope, this problem will be solved, at least in part. Right here it is proper for The Dis patch, voicing the sentiment of musical 1'ittsburg, to extend a cordial invitation to the association to hold its text meeting in li.c western metropolis of the State. Phila delphia having twice opened her hospitable doors to the musical folk of the State, there is no possible doubt that the third meeting should come here. A Desirable Thing to Do. It is not too late, by any meant, for any and every music-lover hereabouts, profes sional or not, to subscribe the modest fee of SI. as an active or associate member or the P. S. M. T. A. Whether you can go 10 Philadelphia or not makes small differ-cac- on this score; the sum is trifling to each one, but it goes with many others to make the success 01 this admirable effort to advance the general musical Interests of our grand old State. Moreover all assistance from our end oi the State for the present meeting in Philadelphia will in all likeli hood be returned with interest when the as sociation meets in Pittsburg. Special notice has already been made in this department regarding the active share to be taken by musicians rom this vicinity. The general scheme for the three days' bes siou, according to the most accurate inform ation now obtainable, is as follows: XOMJAY, DECE3IBEK 29. 9.30 A. M. Adarcss of welcome on behalf of the city.

An Ancient Piece of Music An interesting feature of the Christmas music at St. John's P. E. Church, Law renceville, was the ascription sung by the burpliced choir after the sermon. It was adapted and harmonized by the organist and choir-master, Mr. Dan Dore Ezechiels, from the famous "Hymn to St. John," written in the year 770 by Paul, a deacon of the Church ot Aquila. Tnisold hymn, or chant, played an im ortant role in musical history. The words were as lollous: Ut queant laxis, Resonare flbns, Mira gestorum. Famuli tuorum. Solve polluti, Labii rcatuin, bancte Johannes. And it so happened that in the air of the rhant the first syllable of each line but the last fell upon the successive tones of the seale, C, D, E, etc. Alter it had been sung lor over lour centuries the monk, Guido Aretinus, dawned upon the musical horizon (it the narrow limits of the art in those days could warrant the term) and invented the modern system of notation by means of a naff, with lines and spaces indicating the pilch, using the syllables from the old chant to designate the notes. The "ut" was changed to "do" for convenience and euphony and a seventh syllable "si" (de rived from initials of the last line, S and I) w.is introduced in the seventeenth century, nnd thus the system has stood ever since. Our schoolboys and girls to-day owe their do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si, do to this chant more than 1,100 years old. Mr. Ezechiels, by the way, who arranged for St. John's Christmas service this hymn to that church's patron saint, and who is a comparatively recent acquisition to our mu sical circles, is one of the graduates of the institution known as "The King's Twenty two Pupils," in The Hague, Holland. The King does not do the teachintr, but he docs provide the funds for giv ing n musical education to a constant enrollment of 22 deserving students, who are put through a lour years course of abstruse musical lore quite unlike the curriculum of most conservatories. Mr. Ezechiels was there a favored pupil ot the eminent Dutch composer, ilarinus. Before coming to Pitts burg he was for live years teacher of music and choir master at the Episcopal Diocetan College of Maryland, -An Acquisition lu an Organ. The Fourth AvenueBaptist Church, which posseses one of the largest auditoriums in the city, has contracted lor a new organ, to cost altogether something over 58,000, which will be one of the largest and most complete instruments in the city. With Mr. Simeon Bissell just installed as director of the large chorus choir, and Mr. John Q. Eversou at the new organ, the music of this church bids fair to be worthy of its wealth and standing. The organ will be built by the Wirsching house, nnd equipped with their patent wind chesU. A novelty for Pittsburg will be the stentorphone stop (customarily placed on the solo manual in four-manual organs) an exceedingly powerful register on high wind pressure, and very useful in leading large bodies of singers. Uesidcs the 24 mechani cal movements, giving ample control over all resources, the instrument will contain 39 speaking stops, distributed as follows: GKEAT OEGAS. 1. 16-foot double open diapason, 53 pipes. 2.

They called Moritz Rosenthal "Rubinstein Redivivns" in Berlin on his recent appearance there. Ciiabx.es Marie IVidor is to be the suc cessor of the late Cajsar Francklas Professor ot the Organ at the Paris Conservatoire. Patti's 1,000 a night tour in Russia has been abandoned, the impresario having failed to forward to tbe primadenna a cash guarantee of 5,000 as agreed. The Redpath Concert Company, comprising several singers and players who are well spoken of. comes here in the Pittsburg star course at Old City Hall, next Friday evening. Ax estimate based upon figures was made recently showing that the people of Boston pay about $125,000 this season to hear tho concerts of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, At the East Liberty Presbyterian Church the customary male quartet will have the ex tra aid of Miss Margaret A. Crouch in per forming music appropriate to Christmastide. Special programmes of Christmas music will be rendered to-day at the Third Presby terian Church, Sixth avenue, by the excellent auartet choir, under the direction of Mr. "William B. Edwards. PADerewski was the soloist of tho Berlin Philharmonic concert of the 8th Inst., and played his own piano concerto in A minor, a new composition, which was beard for the first time on this occasion, and met with great pop ular success. Rubinstein's overture, "An :ny and Cleo patra," was produced at the fonrth Philhar monic concert at Berlin on the 24th ult. under Dr. v. Bnlow. Otto Dessmana describes it as a verv surprising and agreeable , contrast to most of Rnbinstein's later works, and altogether as a very fine piece, dramatically well worthy of its subject, Mme. Helen Hopekirk left many friends behind her in the United States when shi went to Vienna to continue her studies, five years ago. who will be glad to learn that she will be back here in a few weeks for a tour of the countrv and Canada. Her first appearance in concert will be in Boston, with the Symphony Orchestra, on January 3. TscnAiKOVSKr has addressed a letter to some Russian journals declining the public honors which It was proposed to offer him on the occasion of tho twenty-fifth anniversary of his appearance as a public artist. Perhaps 25 years is too short a period to justify shows of this kind but, nevertheless, Tschaikovsky is the greatest and by far the most popular of living national composers, and if not now, ho will some dav deserve recognition in that capacity. Plenty of men .have had jubilee celebrations who have deserved them less London Musical World. Mr. Richard Zeckwer, tho enterprising director of tho Philadelphia Academy of Music, has just received a Janko piano, the first one imported aside from tho one used by Mr. Janko in his exhibitions. It is the first to come to Philadelphia. It will ne set up in the Academv in a few days and .Mr. Zeckwer and Mr. Leefson will make a special study of the new key-board preparatory to making the new invention a special branch of the institution. Mr. Zeckwer says the Janko piano is the in strument of the future, and that Americans wilt take to it with sufficient eagerness to war rant its being called the Yankeo piano. Philadelphia Music and Drama, The college musicians and singers are on the threshold. On Tuesday evening the Harvard Glee Club will give a concert at Carnegie Hall, under the patronage of prominent society leaders, presenting a programme with the usnal unique and rollicking features. On Saturday evonlng, January 3, the Princeton University Glee, Banjo and Mandolin Clubs will give a concert at Carnecic Hill. The Princeton clubs are ereat favorites hprc Indeed Princeton is a collegiate suburb of Pittsburg anvhow. Their performance will contain more orange than black, more light than shade, and is tbe clubs are larger and in better trim than ever, the con cert will be a great glorification of Old Nassau. A species of musical work that certainly de serves encouragement has been undertaken by a coterie of young girls still in their teens, who have formeda club meeting, as their title indi cates. "Every Other Week." The meetings are held at tbe residence of Miss Elizabeth Webster, who has evidently her full share of that gifted family's talent and thoughtfulness. Miss Webster is President, and Miss M. I. Wnght. Secretary. The object of tbe club is musical education. At the first meeting, a week or so ago. the pro gramme included a short sketch ot Field, the playing of bis B flat Nocturne, an analysis of. it and another playing of tbe same. The sketch was by Miss Wright and the rest by Miss Florence Pier, daughter of the well-known at torney. After reading Miss Pier's analysis, it must be said to be a truly remarkable produc tion for a miss of 14, Such intelligent, logical cnltivaton of art canpot but prove invaluable to all interested. The second concert of the Mozart Club, to be given on Tuesday evening at Old City Hall, will be the musical event of the week. Miss Genevra iJohnstonc-Blshop, well-known here (though she did refuse 2,000 a year to come and sing in one of our churches), Miss Margaret Fraser, Mr. Harry B. Brockett and Mr. John, A. Strouss will be the soloists to' whom, with our leading chorns and a good-sized orchestra, under Mr. James P. McCollum.Jwill De intrusted the per formance of the greatest of all oratorios, Han del's "Tho Meesiah." For 150 j ear this master work has remained wholly unequaled, the sub ject of peculiar admiration, almost reverence, by all people where oratorio music is at all cul tivated. On previous occasions the work and its history have been fully described in these columns. Nothing need now be added beyond directing attention again to the rare appro priatenesss of its performance at Christmas, tide, following the custom so largely prevalent. And, by the war, don't forget to stand up, if you want to enjoy the "Hallelujah" chorns to tho utmost. Frost the JtttMical Courieft obituary of the genial Gade. the following is takenr The deati of Niels W. Gaao was announced by cable on Monday of this week. He died at Copenhagen, the citv where he bad Deen born on October 22, 1817, and be was consequently in the 74th year ot bis life when death deprived Denmark of the greatest of composers it has so far produced and the world at large of one of tbe molt refined, poetio and scholarly musicians. His "Osslan" over ture, his first published work, brought him into prominence, by gaining for the young musician a prize which enabled him to go to Lelpsic for further study and devclootnent. 'There be was well received by his Idol, Mendelssohn, tho influence of whose music was so clearly discernible already in this opus L Men. dclssobn also brought out at the Gewandhaus concerts Gadc's first symphony in C minor, and furthered his advancement by appointicghim second conductor, from which position, after Mendelssohn's death in 1847, he rose to that of first conductor. Gade only remaiued in Lelp sic till the spring of 1818, when he was called to bis own native city as conductor of tbe Copen hagen Muslu Society, which post be held with great ability andvbonor up to the time of his death. The list ot Gado's greater works em braces eight symphonies, five overtures, two novcllettes for orchestra, a string auartet, string sextet and string octet, one piano trio, two sonaias for violin and piano, eight cantatas, several mixed and male choruses and numer ous piano compositions and songs. THE PERIL OF A CREW. STEAMEE ABBIVES W POET WITH SHIPWRECKED SEAMEN. Tho Story of the Sinking of a Fishing Schooner and the Timely Itcscao of All on Board During a Heavy Sea The Wreck Happened This Month. New York, Dec 27. Sixteen ship wrecked seamen landed here to-day from the steamer Elbruz, the captain and crew of 15 men of tbe American fishing schooner Gracie C. Young, wrecked at sea early this month. The Gracie C. Young sailed lrom Glouces ter, Mass., December 1. She was bound for the Newfoundland Banks after halibut. Immediately after leaving port she en countered severe weather, and on the fonrth day out sprung a leak. The men were set to work at the pumps, but the storm increased and still further opened tbe seams in tbe vessel. Her foremast was earned away, and this mishap left the schooner at the mercy of tbe seas. Great waves washed over the craft and swept her decks. The air was bit ter cold, and tbe water froze as soon as it struck the decks. This impeded the work of the men, many of whom were almost frozen, and had to abandon the pumps. Only about hall the crew were able to work, and their combined efforts could not prevent the water from gainintr in the hold. Captain Kenny McPherson, the com mander, decided to abandon the vessel at the first favorable opportunity. The crew were kept at work day and night. A week elapsed and it was evident the schooner was sinking. The men prepared to abandon the vessel on the 15tb, when smoke was seen on the borizon'to the east. Signals of distress were run up on the main masthead and in two hours the Elbruz bore down on the sink ing vessel and lay-to for tbe purpose of res cuing the crew. The schooner was provided with seven dories, and in these the 16 men put off to the rescuing steamer. All these small boats were halt full of water before they reached the ship, but all hands were saved. DISCHABGED MEN DESTITUTE. Their Employers Are Embarrassed and the Men Discount Their Time Checks. Portland, Dec. 27. The situation of the discharged laborers from the Union Pa cific Puget Sound extension is growing more serious every day. At present there are about 1,000 in this city, and the number is increasing hourly. Host of them are desti tute and are unable to get money on their time checks, which were dne December 26. A large number are being fed and lodged by the city. Owing lo the inabililv of J. H. Smith & Co., who had the contract to secure money from the TJcion Pacific, the men are being put off from day to day, and as tbe money is not yet forthcoming it is difficult to foresee .the outcome, as the men are growing des perate. Some are sore pressed and are dis counting the time checks at 50 percent J. H. Smith is now at Omaha endeavoring to secure money from the Union Pacific Com pany. Upon his arrival there he telegraphed that the coaipany had promised him $300,000 this week, and on this assurance the men have been quieted. The Matter Not Hard to See. Chicago Times. 3 "As the telephone patents expire soon," says a Sioux City paper, "what's the matter ot cities owning their own telephone exchanges?" Tbe matter is simply that the telephone companies own the cities. As the Whirligig Goes Round.

Charged to Petty Jealousy. Kansas City Times.: In appointing Mr. Justice Miller's successor on the oencb of tho Supreme Court, Hairison held fast to all his petty little enmities and did Judge Grcsbam "up brown." A physician who was confidential told a visitor that all physicians with any practice had a bore bell. "And what may a 'bore bell' be?" asked his visitor. "A 'bore bell'," said tho doctor, "is an invisible bell arranged some where in the room, thongh generally in the floor near tbe chair where a physician is usually seated at tho time he receives his uatients. When Ifeel that I have given the last comer enough ot my time 1 quietly put my foot on tbe secret spot in the floor, and before any ono can say 'Jack Robinson', my man has appeared and announced that I have a tele gram, or that some one wishes to see me imme diately. The patient naturally bows herself out (you see it is generally a woman), and by means of my little subterfuge I am free. Of course I do not mean to say that I am obliged to use tbe bell every time 1 receive a woman patient! But I tell you I have found it a lucky escape sometimes. It is all very well to listen to an account of the ailments and give the re quired amount of sympathy to the patient be lorujou, but when she drags inall her rela tives there has to be a stopping place there fore the 'bora bell.'" A Paris newspaper says Queen Victoria has made known, through Cardinal Manning, that she will present no objections to the canonization of Joan of Arc.

In medical electricity tbe electo therapeutist uses general faridlzauon, central pralvanizatlon, local fa rid i zation and local galvanization.

We perform tho most difficult, delicate ana heroic surgical operations by elec tricity iustead of the knife. Hundreds of nervous peoplo who require surgical treatment often put it off until too late, because they have a perfect horror of being operated on with tbe surgeon's knife, while they don't hesi tate to be operated on by electricity. The electro surgeon is called on to treat such cases as the following: SUPERFLUOUS HAIR On the Female Face.
