Knowing that Mr. Carl Better intended,
a ter the P. S. 31. T. A. meeting in Phila
delphia last week, to run oer to New York
and close a number or engagements for
Pitt-burg's coming May festival, a repre
sentative of this journal was instructed to
hunt him Vip yesterday and ascertain what
he had accomplished, whence the following
spocial telegram under a New York date:
A reporter for The Dispatch found Mr.
Carl Ketter in anuptonn music store this after
coon and bad a talk with him about the May
Mu--ic.il Festival. Mr. Retter thinks the com
ing festival will not only eclipse Pittsburg's
previous efforts in that direction, but that it
ill be equal, if not superior, to any musical
festival ever given in this country. Iu proof of
tins ho points to the list of artists already en
cased, which is to be added to in future.
Mrs. Antonia Mlelko, of Cologne, the leading
prima donna of the Metropolitan Opera House,
and Miss Clementina De Vere, are to be the
sopranos and Mrs. Walter C Wyman and Mrs.
Rosa Linde the contralto?. Andreas Dipple,
w'io has met with great success here and is
considered by some the peer ot Alvary, and
either Campamni or Guillc, Bill be the tenors.
Theodore Reichmann, of Vienna, whom Mr.
Ketter calls 'the world's crcatest barytone,"
and Emil Fischer, the basso, have also beenen
cagrc. 1 he great f eaturo of the festival will be the
engagement of the Russian composer, Tschal
kowki, who isto cross the ocean only to ap
pear in Pittsburg and possibly in this city. He
will bo in the country but a fortnight. At the
May festival he will conduct his own symphony
and piano concerto, the latter to bo played by
Rafael Joseffy, who will appear in public this
season only In conjunction with the Kussian
composer.
Anton SeidL the conauctor ot the Metropoli
tan Opera House, and his orchestra of 75 mas
ter musicians, with a chorus of 500 voices, will
supplement the efforts of the list of artists to
w Inch Mr. Better points with so much pride.
He is now negotiating with other artists. The
result of his negotiations will be announced in
due time.
In retard to the works to be rendered, Mr.
Better said that only the choral numbers had
been decided on. These are the "Emperor"
Slass of Haydn, the "Deluge," by Saint
Saens, "Apollo," by Roeder, Rossini's
"Stabat Mater," "At the Cloister Gate,"
by Grieg, "The "Water Nymph," by
Kubrnstcin, and the Wagner numbers,
which are: Of "Tannhaenser," the Overture and
Bacchanale, with ihe concluding chorus of the
Siren's (Paris version); the "Vorsplol," Elsa'x
Dream and Prayer, and the finale of the first
act from 'Lohengrin;" the Fmalo and Prize
Song from the "Mcistersinger" and the finale
of "Parsifal." This last will be the first choral
performance of the piece in the United States,
that in Brooklyn not having a chorus. Mr. Ret
ter is confident that the rest of the programme
of the seven concerts which are to De given will
equal v, hat is here announced.
One of the "World's Greatest.
If it were actually true that Peter
Tschaikowski is coming from Russia to
America only to appear in PitUburz and'
possibly in New York if this were the'
truth and the whole truth, that fact alone
would suffice to carry the name of our May
Festival throughout the civilized world. Of
course he must be coming over for some
other object as well, perhaps, like
Scharwenka last year, to arrange for a sub
sequent tour.
However that may be, it will be a great
thing for Pittsburg's festival to count among
its attractions, one of the foremost living
composers, the undisputed leader of that
young, original and intense Kussian school
toward which the whole musical world is
looking with such expectation. As no
definite mention seems yet to have been
made of Tschaikowski's intention of cross
ing the ocean this spring.this first announce
ment of it through Mr. Ketter's engagement
cannot fail in itself to draw widespread at
tention to Pittsburg's May Festival of 1891.
No better pianist could be asked for this
occasion than Mr. Jostffy, whose retirement
ot late the New York critics and public have
been bewailing. Tschaikowski and Joseffy
what a team!
The rest of the sole list, as far as ye
known, is worthy of such company. Mr.
Reichman's fame is world-wide, while Mrs.
Mielke and Mr. Dippel are two of tne
brightest stars among Director Stanton's
new acquisitions now earning such
high metropolitan praise. The diminu
tie Guille will be remembered here
as the tenor of Patti's last operatic concert
tour, and all the others named have trained
great local lavor at one time or another with
in the past two seasons.
Anton Se idl as Conductor.
As we have already found out on a former
occasion, Anton Seidl is a host in himself as
a festival conductor, and he will this time
have a much better disciplined force of
players for the all-important orchestral de
partment. There is remarkable catholicity in the
choral selections named; the scheme is open
to criticism only from those who believe,
with the writer, that a true festival pro
gramme is cot complete without one or more
representative works in the largest forms of
cnorai composition, U.hat consideration
aside the variety of these shorter
works is both rich and rare,
llajdn, Kossini, Rubinstein. "Wagner,
Martin Boeder, Griegand Saint-Saens add
Tschaikowski and the yet greater orchestral
composers sure to be included by Mr. Seidl,
and we have an exceptionally s"trong repre
sentation of the most important schools and
nationalities. If only the humble Ameri
can composers might have a chance, tool
The present important announcements as
to the performers and programme assure,
beyond a doubt, the artistic brilliance of the
Festival, just as the patronage and assistance
of that strong body oi society leaders, ex
clusively named in this department some
weeks ago, assures its fashionable and finan
cial success. Mr. Better and the public
alike are to be congratulated on the prospect.
The Philadelphia Gathering.
The second annual meeting of the Penn
sylvania State Music Teachers' Association
passed off at Philadelphia last week with
much success, as the telegraphic columns ot
The Dispatch informed its" daily readers.
The general scheme civeu in this column
last Sunday was departed from only because
f absenteeism and proved to be a good or
dering of the meetings, save, perhaps, in the
unwise placing of musical programmes after
the lengthy essays and discussions of the
morning sessions.
Pittsburg's representation was, unfortu
nately, less than was expected. Sickness in
his family prevented Mr. Ad. M. Foerster
from going to hear the excellent perform
ance of his fine trio, and to take his right
ful share in the discussions and business.
The same cause kept at home Mr. Beyeridge
Webster and ins yoans sister. Miss Eliza
beth AVebster, so that bis essaron "Music
as a Means of Education" and her piano
playing could not be heard. Mr. Eugene
C. Heffley was unlucky enough to miss the
train and hit piano numbers were played br
Mr. Constantine Sternberg, who seems to
have done heroic work throughout the
meeting.
Somo or the Rare Treats.
Among those who did get there was Mrs.
K. O. Lippa, who gave the association an
opportunity she does not often vouchsafe to
those nearer home. Mrs. Llppa played
with great success a Beethoven fantasie,
moreeaux by Chopin and Kroegcr, and two
movements of Chopin's E minor concerto,
being ably assisted in the last named by Mr.
Carl Better at a second piano. On the same
programme was the name of Miss Agnes
Yogel, who sang Liszt's "Loreley" and two
songs by Mr.1 Better, who accompauied her.
Mr. Charles Davis Carter gave the final
organ recital, choosing Guilmnnt's trans
cription of the prelude to Saint-Saens
"Deluge," a portion of Bach's second
sonata in G minor, and Gullmant's "Marche
Keligieuse." Mr. Harry M. Mays, the
barytone formerly of Pittsburg, sang an aria
by Spohr at this recital. In addition to
these who performed was Mr. Joseph H.
Gittings, whose voice was infiuentially
raised in the disenssions and business ses
sions. After tabling the delicate question of or
ganizing a bureau of tuners and bearing
sundry reports from Vice Presidents and
specialist committees, the association pro
ceeded without opposition to fix upon Pitts
burg as the place of the next annual
meeting. At the subsequent election
of officers, this city was duly and
uronerly given the lion's share of Ihose
openings for hard work and no pay. Those
cnosen were the following: Charles Davis
Carter. President; Ad. M. Foerster, Secre
tary and Treasurer; Joseph H. Gittings,
Charles C. Mellor and James P. McCollum,
Executive Committee; Carl Better, Dr.
Hugh A. Clarke (Philadelphia) and Ed
ward A. Berg (Reading), Programme Com
mittee; Beveridge AVebster, G. R. Broad
berry and Theo. G. Wettach, Auditing
Committee.
Finances of the Association.
The only real shadow upon the meeting is
the 400 indebtedness it has left upon the as
sociation. After discussing various extra
ways and means to raise the amount, it was
finally decided, on Mr. Gittings suggestion,
to pay the debt! with the first moneys com
ing in as membership fees lor the year just
beginning and to rely on Pittsburg's ability
to make the next meeting a success with that
much less of lunds in hand. Every mem
ber, active and associate, and every one
desiring to become a member for this year
is urged to remit his or her SI dues to Mr.
Foerster immediately. There is need of
every cent just now; this promising young
organization must not be strangled in the
cradle by the serpent of debt.
While too much credit cannot be given to
President Wolseiffer and his zealous coad
jutors for their arduons labors under many
obstacles, we may with propriety hope that
Pittsburg's officers and Pittsburg's public
spirit will be able to make the third meet
ing next winter so successful as to leave a
surplus in the treasury and thoroughly es
tablish the permanent usesulness of this
most valuable and important factor in the
musical development of the Keystone State.
The Mozart Club Performance.
Who says "the people" do not care for
oratorio?
He should have been at Old City Hall
lest Tuesday evening to see the large audi
torium filled in spite of several strong
counter-attractions with people applauding
to the echo the strong points in the Mozart
Club's performance of that noblest of orato
rios, Handel's "Messiah."
The work is, of course, too long for either
performers or listeners to undertake at a
single sitting. There are many "cuts" that
have become traditional. Some think the
end should come with the "Hallelujah"
chorus, omitting the whole third part. Con
ductor McCollum took a middle course,
making most of the traditional cuts with
some few others not so advisable and giv
ing in the third part only the two best sec
tions, the aria, "I Know That MyBe
deemer Livctb," and the final choruses,
"Worthy is the Lamb" and "Amen."
Handel's masterpiece is beyond all else a
clioral work. Nothing could give our
"much-prized chorus a stronger test; save,
perhaps, iu the matter of shading, for which
the Handelan style makes lessdemand than
some others. The singers responded nobly.
There were a few, a very few shaky
bpots, but the overwhelming mass of the
work was sung with notable precision, spirit
and earnestness. Though the basses pre
dominated slightly and the tenors showed signs
of weariness toward the close, the balance of
the voices ere quite satisfactory and the tonal
quality of the whole body of voices was of ex
traordinary purity and richness.
"Work of the Orchestra.
The orchestral work was, generally speaking,
the poorest heard in these concerts for some
time. The very simplicity of Handel's instru
mentation (even with Mozart's additions, which
were used) serves to throw oat into greater re
lief every blemish, as it makes the correctness
of every tone vital to the whole effect. The
violins were "scratchy" and too loud, the single
'cello was lost, the basses were exasprratingly
rough and unstable and the wood was frequently
out of tnne. The absence of the organ
and the failure to suppy the essential liar
monies intrnsted to it ieit many places bare
and effectless; the basses, rumbling away on
tho figured bass from which Handel expected
the organist to fill in the harmony, were totally
insufficient to support the singers or satisfr the
craving of the musical ear. To be sure there
m ere some brighter spots notably the "Pas
toral Symobony" and the accompaniment to
the last aria but these only served to em
phasize the general gloom that hung over the
instrumental department.
Mrs. Jobntone-Bishop added largely to her
already acquired local Iaureli by the power,
finish and feeling with which she delivered the
soprano solos. Her rich, vibrant voice mot all
demands, and only her inappropriate
breathings are matter for technical criti
cism. Mr. Harry B. Brockett achieved a
genuine triumph in the tenor part! From
many excellencies, the singing of the recita
tive, 'Thy Rebnkc Hath Broken His Heart."
and the following air, "Heboid and See," may
be singled out for tbelr pathos and devotional
ity, and the air. "Thou Shalt Break Them." for
its dramatic delivery. If Mr. Brockott had a
more powerful voice, such work as Tuesday's
would gain him high rank among the conn
try's oratorio tenors. Mr. John A.
btrauss, in the bass solos, displayed to
advantage bis unusually smooth and resonant
voice; he fang, moreover, with mostcomraenda
ble exactness and with no little spirit and dig
city. Miss Margaret P. Fraser, the contralto,
appeared for the first time in a prominent part,
and the ncrvonscess, which at first affected her
singing, was both natural and pardonable.
Later oa more of the strength and quality of
her excellent voice was permitted to be heard,
and she proved her possession of good taste
and some appropriate feeling. There was
abundant promise for the fnture in Miss
Frazer's appearance on this occasion.
Plans for the Future.
During the past week the Mozart Club has got
its plans for the rest of the season into more
definite shape. Three concerts of the regular
season are yet to be given. The customary
'Ballad Concert," which has heretofore come
in the early spring, wilt, this season be post
poned until the end of May, closing the season.
This programme will be made up, as usual, of
less extended works, among which will prob
ably figure Mr. Ethclbert Nevln's setting, for
chorus, soprano solo and four-hand accompani
ment, of Eugene Field's charming "Dutch
Lullaby" the work that failed to arrive in
time for last year's ballad concert.
The postponement of this miscellaneous pro
gramme has- been decided on so that tho club
may now have a free field for the rehearsal of
Verdi's Requiem, which will bo given May 1.
with one or more eminent foreign soloists and
the Boston Symphony Orchestra. The Requiem
will be given complete, without any of the cuts
made when the Gounod Club presented it at
Library Hall, with only piano accompaniment,
back in the '70's. Borne considerable excerpts
were given by the Gounod Club and the
Svmphonic Society's Orchestra in the May
Festival of 1879 at the old Exposition building,
but this will bo the first complete production
with orchestra of this famous. won: in Pitts
burg. Assistant Manager Free R. Comee. of the
Boston Symphony Orchestra, was in the citv
on Friday, when the contract was closed,
securing that unrivaled organization
for the two Mozart Club concerts
of April SO and May J. The first
evening will be a symphony concert. In which
Mr.lMikischandbis men will be assisted by one
or both of the two prominent singers expected
to be engaged for the orchestra's spring tour.
One of these, let us hope, will be Mrs. Arthur
In ikish, whoso recent American successes jus
tify her reputation abroad, and the artistic fit
ness of the famous conductor's choice ot a
mate. These concerts, together with the May
Festival, promise unprecedented brilliance for
the closo of this well-filled musical season in
Pittsburg.
This Week's Happenings.
Though brevity of space this morning com
pels the customary "Crochets and Quavers." to
Ejve place to more weighty matter, brief men
tion may be made of tho local musical happen
ings of the coming week.
On Monday evening tho Eintracht male
chorus will celebrate its twenty-fifth anni
versary with a concert at St. Augustine Hall,
Thirty-seventh street There will be some
addresses, a flag presentation and some good
music v the chorus, a picked orchestra of 2,
and bv Miss Agnes Vogel and Mr. Joseph A.
VogeL The conductor of tho society ana of
this concert is Mr. John S. Vogel.
Also on Monday evening will occur the fourth
of the Linden Club concerts, in which the Ger
nert Orchestra and Mrs. M. L. Lucas, soprano,
will present a choico programme.
Mr. Franz Wilczek. the gifted young violin
ist, whoso extraordinary successes In New
York do not appear able to keep him away
from Pittsburg, will play at the musicalo and
reception of the Young Men's Hebrew Asso
ciation, at Lafavette Hall, on Tuesday even
ing. Miss Bertha Kaderly, the soprano, and
Dr. W. T. English, tenor, with the Toerge
Bros.' Orchestra, will complete this promising
programme.
A NEW FUEL GAS
THAT IS CLAIMED xo BE CHEAPEB THAI?
THE NATURAL ARTICLE.
It Can be Used for Paddling Furnaces and
Shows Some Surprising Results In the
Tests Made Cast Iron Melted In Thirty
Seconds by It.
SrECIAL TEI-EQRAM)TO THE DISFATCTI.t
SARATOGA, Jan. 3. The Acme Liquid
Fuel Company, whose works are located
here, are experimenting with the gas made
by them in the effort to obtain a gas that is
not only cleaner and less expensive than
natural gas, but that can be used for melting
iron and for puddling furnaces. The fur
nace with which these experiments are being
made is bnilt ot brick, with nine-inch walls.
It is 12 feet long and 3 feet and 6 inches
wide, the whole being securely girded with
ironliabds and braces. In the interior and
directly in the center is the bed, or hearth,
of the lurnace, in size 2 by 4 feet. Ateither
side of this hearth are air passages going
down into the ground and supplied with
fresh air from a Siemens valve, which is
back of the furnace, and by means of which
the operator in charge can increase or dimin
ish the quantity oi air which enters the fur
nace. In the interior of the valve is a "butter
fly," resembling a damper in a stovepipe.
By turning this the air comes in at the top
and into the furnace, and can be made to
drive the flames of gas to right and leftover
the iron placed in the furnace to be heated.
The air thus entering supplies the proper
amount of oxygen, and is heated to about
1,000 before it comes in contact with the
gas, the proportion consumed being about
15 !eet of air to one foot of gas per minute,
the greatest capacity with natural gas fur
nace; being about nine feet of air per
minute.
A test of this furnace has just been made
in the presence of Mr. Andrews, of New
York, who is Presidentof the company, and
several experts from New York and Phila
delphia. The fire was easily brought to a
heat of 3,000. A bar of wrought iron, 12
by 13 inches, was placed in the fire, and in
IS minutes it was brought to a beautiful
white heat, so that it began to drip at the
sides and end. In exactly 1 minute and 30
seconds this melted and ran out upon the
floor. Large pieces of iron were also tested
with equally surprising results.
ANOTHER TBEASTJBEB BOITG.
He Is a Defaulter to the Amountlot 822,000
or 835,000.
rsr-ZCTAI. TH.XQRAM TO TUB DISPATCrM
Pittsfield, Mass., Jan. 3. A great
sensation was created in Stockbridge when
it was learned that C. H. "Willis, Treasurer
of the Stockbridge Savings Bank, is a de
faulter to an amount running from $22,000
to 25,000. Willis has been Treasurer of
the bank for several years. About a month
ago Bank Examiner Chapin looked over its
affairs and loand notes that could be realized
on". One-especially of 510,000, in favor of
the Gleudale Woolen Mill Compiny, the
money on which was obtained by H. J.
Dunham, trustee of the mill. Mr. Chapin
therefore placed an injunction on the bank,
on which there will be o hearing on Mon
day. It was ascertained that "Willis had not
posted up his books tor some years. He
acknowledged that he had taken the above
amount from the bank, but it is not known
how long he has been pilfering. Willis Is a
native of Stockbridge, nun is about GO years
old. He owns a small place in town, bnt
his property is not sufficient to cover the
loss. However, his bondsmen are good for
the amount. Matters are so complicated
that it is impossible to learn what the out
come will De. The depositors are so much
excited that as soon as the bank opens for
business there maybe a run upon it.
DREAD DIPHTHERIA'S DOlNfjS.
An Entire Family ot Mine Persons In Iowa
Wiped Oat.
Mabshailtown, Ia., Jan. 3. A terrible
story of diphtheria comes from the southern
part of Buchanan county. Mrs. Edgerton
died in November of diphtheria, leaving a
family of eight children destitute,
A young baby and five other children
rapidlv succumbed to the deadly scourge,
and Wednesday the eighth burial casket
was sent out to the desolated home, where
the one remaining member is now lying at
the point of death. No other case is re
ported in the community.
A P B0V1NCIAL GLASS STRIKE.
Workmen Enter Into on Arrangement
Which Their Union Vetoes.
HALIFAX, N. S., Jan. 3. The class
blowers at the Nova Scotia glass work's,
near Glasgow, have gone out on strike.
The men belong to iheGlassblowers' Union,
but had entered into a special arrangement
with the manager to work out the old fire at
a certain rate.
The union, however, insisted that they
work for nothing less than union prices, and
ordered the strike. The works will probably
remain closed all winter.

DR. KOCH VS. PNEUMATIC
CABINET.

Only Reliable and Scientific Treat
ment tor Luno Troubles, Having
Outlived All Otheb Sensational
Remedies, Such as the Oxygen, Gas,
Iodine and Nitrate silver Injec
tionsOpinions of Distinguished
physicians.
The papers are so full at present of accounts
of Dr. Koch's new method of treating con
sumption by hypodermic injections that one is
apt to lose sight of the old and approved
method of pnenmatic differentiation. This
treatment has been in vogue now about six
years, and I bave yet to hear of a single physi
cian once using the cabinet who has discarded
it for any other method. I have publicly advo
cated the cabinet treatment for lnnj troubles
but very little the past two years, for the
reason that patients ccnrrally wait until their
lungs are so full of holes that one could turn his
nst in them before coininp; to me.and then when
they die in a few weeks or months, as dlotbey
must, I am charged by envious physicians with
hurrying them hence, which always hurts my
reputation in that neighborhood. Besiaes, I
can make more money treating catarrh at $5 a
month, as I can treat a dozen catarrh patients
while 1 am treating one in the cabinet, and it
is human nature to work in that field
which offers the greatest financial returns.
Wm. C. Byeis, M. D., 'No. UtlPetin Ave.,
Nose, Throat and Lung Specialist.
But I am still a firm believer in the pneumatto
cabinet treatment, and use it daily In my prac
tice. The diseases la which it seems most
available are bronchitis, laryngitis, asthma,
consumption in Its first and second stages and
remains of chronic colds and all pneumonias.
By the cabinet treatment antiseptic or germ
destroying sprays aro brought into direct con
tact with the lung tissue, penetrating into the
abscesses and pores, killing the germs, and
cleansing and applying medicine immediately
to the diseased parts. This treatment causes a
greater respiratory power, give greater oxy
genation to the blood and a system of lung ex
ercise identical with that given the muscles by
clubs, dumbbells and weights. This, aided by
my system of medication, alimentation and
regimen, which includes the rational nseof food,
exercise and everything essential to the build
ing up of the strength of the patient, makes
my claim that "I cure consumption," when the
disease has not progressed too far, a perfectly
tenable one.

opinions of distinguised physicians.
Dr. Sidnev Fox, of Brooklyn, N. Y., after an
experience of four years with tho cabinet, dur
ing which time be treated in it two hundred
patients for lung trouble, says.
"I am familiar with other modes ot treat
ment, bavinc been an interne of two of New
York's large hospitals; have seen about all the
medicines of the pharmacopoeia that are used
in lung troubles prescribed; and am also fa
miliar with the injection of cavities with the
tincture of Iodine and other drugs, and in pri
vate practice with Borjeau's appiratus, in
halers, the oxygen treatment and other
methods; but I have discarded all and clung to
the cabinet, regarding it as the Only instrument
ever devised that meets all the requirements
for which it was intended."
Dr. J. T. Wblttaker. of Cincinnati, says: "I
regard it as of inestimable value, and wonld
rather part with any instrument in my office
than with my Pneumatic Cabinet."
Dr. Bowditch, Boston, Mass.: "I believe it to
be a step forward in the treatment of one of
the most formidable diseases with which we
have to contend."
Pror. A. L. Loomis, New York: '"Instead of
sending patients to high altitudes lc maybe
possible to accomplish, by properly arranged
apparatus, what can bo obtained by change of
