"7 r-; THE' ' PITTSBURG- DISPATOH.'STJNI)AT, - -JANTrARX ' IV 89L ; THE MUSIC WORLD Proposition for Sunday Concerts at Carnegie Hall, With Church Cnoirs as the Feature. THE ARGUMENTS PRO AND CON. Facts in Eejard to the Great Composer, Tschaikowsky's, Presence at Pitts- burg's May FestiraL ANOTHER BIG CAF.D SOW IS SiGBT. InltrtjUig Budget cf Small Talk for the Loren of the Ait Dime. An idea well worthy of serious consider ation is broached in the following com munication, which was received during llie week: To the Jlusical Editor ofthe Sunday Dispatch: Sik In bespeaking yourad vocacy and the indorsement and aid and comfortofthepublio of our two communities for my plan of t.icrcd concerts in Carnegie Hall on Sunday aliernoons, I am well aware that there are those amoue ui who will instantly assume a bellicerent attitude. There is, perhaps, Eome justiBcation in hostility to "sacred" concerts, lor the reason that the popular ac ceptance 01 the idea lpans to the prolauc. In other communities I could instance, a s.u-red concert announcement guarantees to the puMic everything but wal'z music. The word "sacred" simply means that every thing on the programme will be reverently sung, although, lor that matter, all music should be reverently rendered, lor music is a divine art. In the hope that the ultra-Sabbatarians will not consider themselves hoodwinked by v.isue statements, I ask your indulgence lor spate -ufficient to explain a scheme which is the lesult 01 some reflection. Anyhow, there are all sorts of people in our two cities, and there has been no notable increase of crime hi Allegheny resultant upon tlieSnn aav opening ofthe'Phipps Conservatory and the Carnegie Free Library. When in conversation with Mr. Carnegie last spring 1 asked him when the organ should be heard and his reply was laconic but expressive: "Sundays and week days." In pressing my plans for Iree music lor the public through Councils it was expedient, lor manifest reasons, to reverse 3Ir, Car negie's ideas and secure the week day music first. Thirty-six free recitals, tu which 00,000 people iiave listened, pave the way for lurthcr plans. The Attractions Available. While in this liberal and progressive age a genuine sacred concert may be styled a novelty, that is what, nevertheless, I desire to seriously propose. The organ is the piece de resistance, of course. Most organ music is devotional in character, and there is a great deal of music susceptible of rendition upon the organ which has not become pro fane by association, which may even occupy the dividing line between sacred and pro fane, and which it would be unreasonable to exclude from a Sunday programme. The very character of the instrument, as com pared with an orchestra or a brass band, should soothe the scruples of all except the lew who believe music per se to be sinful And giddy. The best singers in our two cities are em braced in the church choirs of all denomina tions, and it is to them we must turn for at tractions for Sunday concerts in Carnegie Hall. Taking the choirs of both cities in rotation, an endless variety of musicians would be afforded. Bach choir can makeup a programme or past vocal success, ot Catho lic range, and calculated to put the singer or singers forward in the best light. Nor should the lips of the congregation be sealed. Creeds may differ, but no ism enters into such hvmns as "Coronation," "Bock of Ages, """Abide With Me," etc. Among other good features the plan contains, surely none will dispute the opportunities of singers and congregational members alike to become an courant with what is in pro gress elsewhere. It would be a general and healthy stimulus all the way around, "which nobody can deny." But there will be expenses. A programme must be furnished containing words of hymns, so that all can sing, and the names ot the singers and what they will sing, etc And the laborer is worthy of his hire. Hospitals have a claim upon the sympa thies of church singers, and the claim has been generously met for years. But at least 25 should be paid to every choirand organ ist, chorus or quartet, large or small. For incidental expenses ihe generosity of the Dublic, as expressed by an offertory, should cover everything. Now the question is, who will emulate the liberality of Mr. Henry Phipps, as applied to keeping the library open on Sunday, by coming forward and guaranteeing the ex penses of the first vear of the Carnegie Hall free Sunday sacred concerts on the lines I have indicated above? Leokaed "Walks. A Reasonable Proposition. The plan above outlined by Mr. Wales seems to be in all respects reasonable. It is moderate in its essence and would be moder ate in its expense. Of course, the name "Sunday concerts" has offensive associations in the minds of very many of the best people in this com munity. But the mere sound of a name has small bearing on the merits of the object that chances to bear it Of course, also, the cry, "It's an opening wedge," will always greet every step, as well of progress as of retrogression. Every virtue, pushed to the extreme, becomes a vice. There will eyer be well-meaning, but ultra-timorous souls, who fear to take a sturdy step ahead lest they may somehow stumole, who fear any new, untried move of good intent, apprehending that it may per chance go too lar and become an evil. But all progress would be at an end vere such teelings universal. There is no important difference between the performance of Spohr's "Last Judg ment" by Mr. Webster and his excellent choir at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church as has been done this winter, each section of the oratorio lormiug practically the whole of an evening service and the same per formance by the same persons on Sunday afternoon at Carnegie Hall. The Boston Handel and Haydn Society has for three generations given "its oratorio concerts on Sunday evenings at MusicHall, without the laintest objection from the de scendants of the Puritans. If an oratorio, why not a miscellaneous programme of an thems, hymns, psalms and organ selections such as are heard constantly in our church services. This is done frequently on Sun day afternoons at our hospitals and jail without devotional exercises and without any criticism. Jnst What Is Intended. 2ow that is the meat of Mr. Wales' idea, as the writer conceives it, namely: To get the church choirs in turn over at Carnegie Hill on Sunday afternoons, and there re produce the musical part of a church serv ice the musical part alone, omitting all those parts on which sectarian differences hang the musical part alone, to which all persons of whatever belief or persuasion can listen withont offense and, listening, be elevated and refreshed in spirit, and go jway saying. "It was good to be there." Thus understood the plan cannot be ob jectionable to any fajr-minded person. Its positive influences for good must be ap parent to all, once the mists of prejudice are swept away. It will be true evangelism, reaching out an inviting hand to those who cannot be reached by formal church services. It will be musical evangelism, as well, to the many beyond the reach of regular con certs and other musical means ot grace. Incidentally, but most desirably, it will do a deal of good in getting the church choirs themselves out ol the ruts along which mot of them run Sunday after Sunday in those screened organ-lofts or even in their habitual chancels. Let some person or persons offer to pro vide for the small attendant expenses and the matter will at once be brought to issue. Assuredly those in favor of such a plan need have no (car to have that issue determined in the quaint phrase that still lingers in cur courts "by God aud their country. An Opinion Trom lr. Lyman Abbott. Eight in line with the above topic comes this strong, good paragraph by the Kev. Dr. Lyman Abbott, just clipped from the very creditable first issue of the paper of its kind published in Reading, Pa.. Tfte Musical Aretcs: Did you ever consider that music is the one art that is absolutely pureT The sculptor may so shape his clay or nis marble statue that it shall suggest evil thoughts. The artist may put upon the canvas that bacchanalian drink ing scene, and bring all the degradation ox human life before you and into your immagi nation. Even the arcniteet. with, the aid ot subsidary arts of decoration, may contrive rather to injure than to uplift mankind.. But music never can be made by itself a means or a voice ot degradation. Yon may mate It to words that are degrading, and so drag it down. You may cluster abont it degrading associations, and so drag it down. But the voice of music itself cannot be so perverted as to be other than a voice pure and clean and sweet. Music comes into out world as sunltgnt streams into a room. It may be full ot motes, but the sunlight is still pure, despite the motes. We may, out of our evil imaginations, oat ot our base thoughts. Ml the pure strains of music that float in the air with motes, aye. with grosser particles, hut the music is sUU inde pendent of them. The voice of music is the voice of the three purest creatures God has made birds, children and angels. Carnegie Brings Tschaikowsky. The following from the editorial columns of the current Musical Courier, ot New York, seems most amply to confirm the news of Tschaikowsky's contemplated visit, as exclusively printed in this department last Sunday: The promised visit of tbo eminent Russian composer, Peter Tschaikowsky. announced by cable, is due tu an arrangement made through the instrumentality of iir. Andrew Carnegie, of Pittsburg, New York and Scotland, who Is anxious to have the services of this great com poser conductor for the coming Pitbburg May Music Festival. While on his visit to this country, Mr. Tschaikowsky will conduct some of his own compositions at one or two concerts of the New York Symphony and Oratorio societies, and will also probably conduct a few concerts In Buffalo and other cities. At the Pittsburg festival Rafael Joseffy will play the Tschaikowsky B flat minor concerto. The business managers lor Mr. Tschaikowsky will be Messrs. Walter Samrosch and Morris ileno. In connection with business for the Pittsburg festival. Mr. Carl Retter, of that city, a gifted musician, as wp all know, is on a viiit in tiotbam. Reichmann, Fischer and Mi'-s De Vere are among the soloists so far definitely engaged, and Anton Seidl will conduct. The Facts in the Case. But perfect candor compels the assertion of some doubt as to Mr. Carnegie's share in the matter, so far as Pittsburg's festival is concerned, and also compels the correction of the announcements of both papers, in so far as they give the idea that a contract for Tschaikowsky's services has actually been concluded by Mr. Retter. The exact'state of the matter is that such a contract was presented to Mr. Retter by Tschaikowsky's manager all ready for the former's signature; but he deemed the mat ter too important and the expense too great for him to decide without time to reflect and to consult with fr Tends at home. So he left New York undecided on this point, and the point is still undecided. This indecision has been prolonged by an opportunity since opened for obtaining an-ther attraction of an artistic value for our festival at least equal to that of the great Russian composer and conductor. So the Pittsburg public will certainly be just as well off next May, whichever way the decision turns. Crotchets and Quavers. The Poco-a-Poco Orchestra has discontinued its rehearsals for the present on account of tbo serious illness of its director, Mrs. Dr. J, 8. Walters. Mb. Oytde MtJSra and bis concert troupe win oe neara nero again on tne Z2d Inst, at Old City Halt, No postponement this time on account of rain, whether it falls on the head of the unjust local manager or of the justly incensed troupe and would-be-audience. The recent production at Carlsruhe of Ber lioz's long-forgotten double opera (is bi-logy allowable?) "Les Troyens," was a tremendous success. This is another bright feather in the cap of Conductor Mottl, whose engagement at Carlsruhe, it Is pleasant to learn, has lately been renewed for life. The Allegheny Musical Association will give its second concert this season at Carnegie Hall, on Tuesday evening the 20th. Miscella neous choruses will be sung. The soloists will be Miss Maude Powell, tbo. eminent violiniste, with Miss Grace Miller. Mrs. F. W. Killer. Mrs. Mary R. Scott and Mr. J. H. Gittings. The Boston Handel and Haydn Society has sung "The Messiah" eighty-three times. Long before our Mozart Club can give the Immortal oratorio eighty more repetitions, the voice even of Brother Mustin, now trumpet-tongued among the tenors, will have faded into the traditional "childish treble." But maybe another tenor will have been added before that evil day. Mb. Dan Dobe Ezeciiiels has been ap pointed instructor of music at the Western Pennsylvania institute for the Blind. It must be at the same time a difficult and a grateful task to teach the beauties of music to those for wh&m the closing of one most important ave nue of communication renders the others, es pecially the ear, sensitive and susceptible to a peculiar degree. The celebration of the "silver wedding" an niversary of the Elntracbt Society and the muse passed off last Monday in a blaze of glory which lingered especially about the heads of Conductor John S. Vogel, of his sisters the Hisses Agnes and Sara and of bis brother Mr. Joseph A., all of whom did yoeman service on this auspicious occasion. Our German singing societies are strongholds of Melpomene no less than of Gatnbrinus. J'rotiL Me. Fbank Milton Hunter has not been heard by his own townsfolk since his return last summer from a three-years course of study under Vanninl in Florence and a fur ther season with Randegger and Fox in Lon don. For some months the gifted Pittsburg tenor has been a member of the Pierse-Blam-phin Concert Company, winning everywhere a high meed of praise that quite confirms the successes made in bis pupil days abroad. Mr. Hunter's nrst appearance here will be on the 30th Inst., when the troupe named will be at Old City HalL He seems to be in excellent company, judging by the press notices of Miss Hortense Pierse, soprano; Mr. James Blam phln, harpist, and Miss Kate V. Baxter.pianist, who, with Mr. Hunter, compose this troupe. Mb. Joseph H. Git-tings, to whose overflow of energy into managerial channels Pittsburg music-lovers owe many good things, is now making arrangements for a senes of high-class concerts to be (riven at Old City Hall, at really popular prices and with special redac tions to musical students. First is to come the Mendelssohn Quintet Club, of Boston, the well-known old organization over which Mr. Thomas Ryan still presides. The club's first violinist this season is again Mr. Isidore Schnitzler, who was with them on their tour with Christine Nilsson nearly 10 years ago; they will be accompanied by Miss Marie Barnard, a young soprano. Two piano recitals by Miss Adele Aus der Ohe will comein March as wel come features of Mr. Gittings' course, the re mainder of which has not yet been definitely settled. Tub difficulty of obtaining cases to accom modate the Jterz Musical Library Tin its pres ent home, the Academy of Science and Art building, has proven to be much greater than was at first supposed. The unusual size of the cases required, together with the rush of the holiday season, so delayed their building that, although ordered two months or more ago, they could not bo set up until last Friday. On that day the books were unpacked and hastily put into the case, whence they looked im poslnglv down upon the regular monthly meet ing of the Academy held that evening. Mr. J. McH. Reinhart has been engaged by the trus tees to check off, classify and catalogue the library, and will begin work to-morrow. It will probably require a month or so yet to prepare the library lor use. Miss Ethel Jones, -the little daughter ot the Rev." David Jones, of the First M. P. Church, Is alreaay quite widely known as a youthful pianist of much promise, thanks largely to Mr. Gluing s bringing her ont at the first meeting of the P. S.M.T. A. at Philadel phia. Mow she is to be brought ont in a yet wider field, as the solo pianist on a Western concert tour about to be undertaken by Mrs. QenevraJonnstone-Blshop, who made arrange ments to this end while here to smgin the "Messiah" with the Mozart Club. Let us earnestly hope that this young girl, now so lull of promise, will prove the possessor of a tireless physique and an nnspoilable disposition that can carry her safely through the many perils of that premature publicity into which so many hopeful prodigies have flashed, meteor-like, only to be quickly burned out by its fierce friction. It is not yet too late to make mention of the exceptionally brilliant reception of the "art musicaln" held on New Year's Day in that charming muslo room at Mrs. C. L. Magee's residence. Oakland. One feature was the play ing, by Miss E. McCreery and Mrs. John C. Slick, of Mr. Ethelbcrt Nevin's lately pub lished set of piano duets, a valse caprice, a "Country Dance".and a Mazonrka. The others taking part were Mrs. W. B. Wolfe, Miss Bees ley. Miss Kaderlr, Miss Bankard and Miss Cofey, sopranos; Mrs. M, R. Scott, contralto: Miss Renck and Mr. Oehmler, violinists, and Mr. Salmon, Mr. and Mrs. John A. Bell and Miss Marshall, pianists. There Is reason to ex pect that this newly built music room of Mrs. Magee's, which for luxury and commodious ness is quite unrivaled hereabouts, will be a head center of the distinctively fashionable musical activity in the community. No person of sensibility can hear ot the death of one whom he well knew by name, if not by sight, without experiencing some feeling ot regretful seriousness. Death, while it levels all distinctions, elevates its victim above the reach of all flippant or sarcastic remark. One may not, therefore, refer to Emma Abbott, since her death last Monday, in the manner that was frequently and not inappropriately adopted in speaking ot her while she lived. The wing of the dark angel throws into bright relief all that was womanly, generous and of good repute in the character of the singer whose name ha so long, and with such a variety of lnflection.been in people's months. By all .means, speak all possible good of her but truthfully. Art is ever greater than the artist. It is playing false to the cause of art to print columns ot eulogy upon tbo artistic merits of a singer, who was a good woman, made much money and has died, in the face of the fact that the real influ ence of her career was, from an artistic stand point, meretricious. Such obituanes tend to perpetuate that evil influence and, for that reason, call ont the other side of the picture which else might remain unnoticed beneath the palh Mr. Ethelbebt Nevin, in the course of one ot his "Nibelungen" lectures in Pittsburg last fall happened in his own easy conversa tional fashion to allude to the fact that his enthusiastic admiration for Wagner's orches tration was derived from hurried glances into borrowed copies of the full scores, which he added earnestly "I hope some day to be able to own." - It is a pretty far cry for any hardworking, young musician to sigh for scores of the "Ring" at over SICK) per set. But this particu lar cry went right home to a big-hearted art patron who heard it and who, though he knew Mr. Nevin far better by repute than in person, instantly realized what a treasure those longed for scores would be for the young composer and what a source of power they might be in the hands that had already shown such skill. So he went forthwith and ordered the full scores of the four great music dramas, had them handsomely bound and appropriately in scribed, and sent them off to Boston to this young man with whom he bad probably never bad as much as 15 minute's personal conversa tion. If any richer, nobler gift was made at this Cbrist mas tide, the present writer has not heard of it. And if, at that glad season, any one had greater cause for happiness than Ethelbert Nevm, whose heart's desire was satisfied. It was he who did that act of pure, gracious generosity, so wholly untinted by selfish motive that even his name must, at his own request, be withheld. TWO PLUCKY. GIRLS. .

Miss Angie Graham, who, in, company with a younger sister. Miss Nellie, left Beaver county some five years ago for the Ear "West, is now at her old home in Economy township on a visit. Five years ago next spring she and her sister determined to try their fortunes in the "West. Their father was a well-to-do farmer, hut it was simply a desire to he independent hat the ladies took the step, and their sac cess shows what will and pluck can do. Taking with them a few clothes, some hooks, and a small sum of money over and above their actual expenses, they started. Arriving at Julesburg, Col., they each pre empted a quarter section of land and settled down. Six months in the year they farmed, doing much of the work of plowing, sowing, and reaping themselves. The remaining six months they taught school. They now have a clear title to their land, which has steadily increased in value. The Govern ment is surveying the tract in which their farms are located, ior the purpose of irriga tion, which, when accomplished, will make this land among the most valuable in the country.

PNEUMATIC CABINET. The Latter Has Passed the Experi mental Stage add is To-day the Only Reliable and Scientific Treat ment fob Luso Troubles, Having Outlived All Other Sensational remedies, such as the oxtoex, gas, Iodine and Nitrate Silver Injec tionsOpinions or Distinguished fHTSICIANS. Tho papers are to f nil 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 approTed method of pneumatic differentiation. This treatment has been in rogue now about six years, ana i nare yet to near oi a single pnysi clan once using the cabinet who has discarded it for any other method. I hare publicly advo cated the cabinet treatment for lung troubles but Tery little the past two years, far the reason that patients generally wait until their lungs are so f nil of holes that one could turn his fist in them before coming to me.and then when they die in a few w eeks or months, as die they must, I am charged by enrions physicians with hurrying them hence, which always hurts my reputation in that neighborhood. Besides, I can make more money treating catarrh at to a month, as I can treat a dozen catarrh patients while 1 am treating one in the cabinet, and It Is humans, nature to work In that field which offers the greatest financial returns. Wm. C. Byers. M. D., 'Jfo. UllPenn Ave., Nose, Throat and Lvpg Specialist. But I am still a firm believer in the pneumatic cabinet treatment, and use it daily In my prac tice. The diseases in 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 are 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, gives greater oxy genation to the blood and a system ot lung ex erciBe 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 nu of 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 pot progressed too far, a perfectly xenable one. CUT representing pneumatic cabinet opinions or disttnguised physicians. Dri Sidney Fox, of Brooklyn, N. Y.. after an experience of four years with the cabinet, dur ing which time he treated In it two hnndred patients for lung tronble, says: - "I am familiar with other modes of treat ment, having been an interne of two of New York's large hospitals; have seen about all the medicines of the pharmacopoeia that are used in lnng troubles prescribed; and am also fa miliar with the injection of cavities with the tlnctnre of iodine and other drngs, and in pri vate practice with Borjeau's apparatus, in halers, the oxygen treatment and other methods; but I have discarded all and clung to the cabinet, regarding itas the only instrument ever devised that meets all the requirements for which it was intended." Dr. J. T. Whittaker. of Cincinnati, says: "I regard it as of inestimable value, and would 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." Prot A. Jx Loomlt, New York: "Instead of sending patients to high altitudes it maybe possible to accomplish, by properly arranged apparatus, what can bo obtained by change of 'climate." " , , N. B. References by permission of patients famished upon application at my office, of prominent Pittsburg citizens treated by me dur ing the past four years, all testifying to the benefits derived from pneumatic cabinet treat ment.

I continue to treat catarrh by the Besaler spray method and the application and adminis tration ot snch medicine as each case indicates, for t5 a month. Bear this fact in mind, catarrh can only be thoroughly eradicated by combined local and internaltreatment, and those trying any j)ther conrse are simply wasting their time and money and jeopardizing their health and even lives. For ont-ot town patients I have de vised a system ot home treatment, combining both local and internal medication. Write tor symptoms blank. DR.
