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.

DR. KOCH VS. 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. Fees for cabinet Inhalations greatly re
duced, 1 each or to per week foj dally treat
ment; medicine furnished, 5 per month.
catarrh teeatment $5 A MONTH.
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
