Plan to Wipe Out the Debt of the
Pennsylvania Slate Music
Teachers' Association.
A LIBEEAL OFFER ACCEPTED.

ARTISTIC MERITS OF PAUL JOXES.
Budget of Ken Tlit Will Hik Interesting Reiimg
la aid Oct of Tittiburc.
As stated in these columns two weeks ago,
the only serious cloud upon the success of
the second annual meeting of the Pennsyl
vania State Music Teachers' Association at
Philadelphia was formed by the indebted
ness laid by it upon the association. It will
be remembered that, alter lengthy discussion
as to ways and means of raising tne debt,
the association finally tell back ou Mr. Git
tings' suggestion, which was simply to pay
last j ear's debts with this year's member
ship dues as they came in, and trust to Pitts
burg to make this year's meeting successful
in spite of the shortage.
But now a'rauch better plan is presented
in a proposition voluntarily made by au
enterprising and public spirited firm of
concert managers. The following corre
spondence tells its own tale:
Pittsburg, Jan. 1G.
Mr. Charles Davis Carter. President or the Penn-
fcvlranla Mate ilusical Association:
Dear Sir Having noticed that at the recent
meeting of the association a deficit of abont
S400 existed, and with a new ol canceling or
reducing this indebtedness. e would offer the
association the net proceeds of our next Star
Coarse entertainment, to be held in Carnecie
Hall. February 10. 1S9L W o will guarantee the
expen&es of the concert, and in no eTent will
an) liability fall on tbe association or any mem
ber thereof nhoroa participate in the man
agement ot the same.
It would be a pleasure to hare ou, and, per
haps, one or more of the association whom
you may designate, act nith us in the manage
ment of the concert so as to have a strong
working force and achieve the greatest possi
ble result with the least possible expense.
Hoping the proposition may meet with your
approval, we remain, jours respectfall.
Hericksad Webster,
-Managers. Var Course."
riTTSBORG, Jan. 16.
Messrs. Henricks A Webster, Managers of the
"Mar Course."
Dear Sirs L beg to acknowledge the re
ceipt of jour verj thoughtful and liberal prop
osition. I ill be gl&a to co-operate with you
in any way vitbin my power to make the con
cert a complete success, lam sure that the
membership, official, activn and associate
throughout the feme, will regard with favor
this. ery timely acton on jour part.
Very respectfully yours,
Charles Davts Carter,
President Pennsylvania btate Music Teachers'
Association.
..
A Vers Strong Card.
For this concert of February 10, Managers
Henricks & Webster have long since en
gaged as the principal attraction Miss
Clementina DeVere, of New York, unques
tionably the country's foremost soprano, and
who is relied on as a strong card for our
own big festival next May. The rest of the
programme has not yet been determined
upon. As Miss DeVere receives a salary of
$4,500 a year lor sineing on Sundays in Dr.
John E. Paxtou's church, and is fairly beset
with lucrative concert engagements in New
York and the other coast cities, she is, natur
ally, a somewhat expensive luxury to trans
port to PjtUburp. In point of fact, the
expenses of this concert, which Messrs.
Henricks andWebster generously guarantee,
will be between S400 and 5500.
If all the seat in Carnegie Hall are sold,
however, the concert will nay its own ex
penses, wipe out the entire debt of the asso
ciation and leave a snug little balaucpin the
treasury.
That result is worth working for. It can
be accomplished with the utmost case, if
only a considerable Dortion of those who are
interested in the objects of the.P. S. M. T.
A. will give some little pergonal attention
to the matter.
Local pride is. moieover, directly in
vohed. Philadelphia has had the first two
meetings of the association and has left it in
debt. Now Pittsburg has a splendid chance,
at the very outset, to wipe out that debt and
leave a clear field for working up to a bril
liant success lor the meeting to be held
here next December. A failure now to
i eahze this opportunity would not only leave
the association stili under the incubus of
debt, but would in every way have a dis
couraging effect upon th'e prospects of the
next meeting.
Pittsburg has that next meeting on her
hands. She is hound to make It a complete
success. The first step theoue that counts
is to make a complete success of this admir
ably calculated plan for getting the associa
tion out of debt.
Agnes Huntington's Iattle Opera.
From a musical point of view, Plan
qaette's comic opera, "Paul Jones," with
. wh.ch Miss Agnes Huntington has had such
a gala week at the Duquesne Theater, is a
meager and flimsy fabric, to have been
ipun by the composer of the delightful
"Cuiiues of Normandy." Here and there one
mav see bits of the same graceful wrokmau
ship that characterize its justly popular pre
decessor; but the gift of melodic invention
that prime qualification in a comic opera
writer seems to have faded away in the
flight of j ears, and tne technical facility in
construction jnd development which might
in some measure cover up that deficiency
tiocs not apnearto have been gained by those
leaiV experience. Take, for instance, the
newspaper duet, which won such bejrtv
applause: The melody sung by Yvonne is
essentially similar to the pretty air given to
Jivfino in the serenade scene, which, in
turn might have been taken either from tbe
very familiar "Dormi Pure" or from Gounod's
i ".""? ,sonc- " Mc. Beautiful
Slaiden. while acamst this broad, sustained
melody Jlicogutt sings his budget of
thlppiug news and market reports in even
sixteenths, chanted monotonuuslr almost
w holly on the dominant or tonic. There was au
opportunity for constructive work of which
Sullivan would have made home worthy use.
Again, the theme of thelfarewell duet in Act L
wuich is repeated on JauCt return and subset
qucntly making it the most prominent theme
in tne whole work is or the most common
place tine and could be essentially duplicated
lrom many sources. These instances suffi
ciently exemplify the great body of the music.
There is an undeniable charm in the direct
ness and zest with which Miss Huntincton im
ueixinatis tbo charactor of I'aul Jones which
the trench librettist has amusingly evolved
out of the American naval hero of that name.
Mi sings, too, with considerable art, but is
iistrcsinsly handicapped by the serious failure
of her voice in the medium and upper
register, where It always was weak com
pared to the fu.ll ' rich tones she
can command below the middle G. Miss Mar
guerite Van Brei del, a newcomer here, really
wins the artistic honors ot tbe performance:
her voice is not large, but is very sneetand
flexible, her delivery and style arc delightfully
artistic, and sbo sIioks in her acting the true
rench opera comique instinct. The perform
ance gained much through the direction of Al
frecl J. Caldicott, ilus. Baa, a stJII young En
.lf,a.comR?scr' h0 has wo distinct.on
t. T im,5 ltb se,Teral ls-Ger works, and ii very
widely known through his humorous glees.
1 he question arises, and quite strongly withaL
how came this mediocre work. Interpreted Dya
cast only moderately good, to achieve such ix
hrr?iD,ary Pnttl" success in lindon ana
largely to repeat the same oyer here T This
query may be answered by costumer. scene
pjinter and advance agent Composer ana per
lorincrs cannot do it. '
Talk About Chabrier's Gwendoline.
A. Mr-1 'rank E. Saddler took advantage of the
l l.nstmas Da rest from bis musical studies in
Munich to address to tbe editor of this depart
ment the following notes upon Chabrier's
"G wendoUne," apropos to the very strong cnt-
icisms of its overture written by Mr. W. D.
Holmes to ibis Journal In reviewing a
Lamoureux concert at Paris. According to
Mr. Saddler tbe body of tbe opera is very differ
ent from Its overture. He says:
"Well, perhaps the overture Is really "stuff,1
if Levi Fischer and Stich, tbe conductors in the
Royal Theater bore, are to be believed; and
their unreserved enthusiasm for tbe rest of the
opera Is proof that their opinions are unbiased.
"Last (Sunday Gwendoline was civen here
for the fourth time always beginning with the
introduction to the second act instead of the
real overture. This Introduction is a heavenly
Tristan'-llke conception; Instrumental in the
same noble style that marks all of Wagner's
mature works. The whole opera, from begin
ning to end, as far as the music goes, stands on
the same plane as Wagner's works.
"Of the libretto little can be said of the
translation less but Chabner is as helpless
here as Weber in bis Oberon, etc. The weak
situation, tbe unreasonable ensembles, the
slowly unfolding plot (if indeed it can be
called a plot) hare put the composer at a dis
advantage; but what he has accomplished with
tho material at hand has been accomplished by
no living composer, except perhaps Verdi in
"Othello." Iione ever used trumpets and
ironiDonessonomy, none the wood wina so
tenderly, so passionately, none the strings bo
exaltinglyaahe.
This is not merely my private opinion, but
the verdict of nearly every musician and
student in Munich. For critical views road
Oskar Merz in the A'eueite tfachrtcnten (The
Dispatch of Munich). 1 have underlined
some ot the favorable comments; being of tbe
species 'Critique' yourself, it is altogether un
necessary to underline tbe unfavorable pass
ages you will see them.
"I was one of the few favored at the costume
rehearsal, attending with Director Stich, and
also saw tbe .fir-t and third public performances
of 'Gwendoline.'
"At the general rehearsal and first perform
ance, Chabrier was himself present, lie looks
more liko a wino merchant than a composer.
On account of his inability to speak German,
he spent the most of his time here In company
with Levi, who warbles French like a native
born. In lact, Levi took upon himself the task
of remodeling the translated libretto, the work
ior Vogt beim; so incomplete and unsmgable.
".'Gneiidollno' has hands and feet of its
own, as tbe Germans sa. and will hold its
place on the level with Wagner's operas, even
though the overture be noisy and stuff." "
In this connection it is pleasant to make a
note or the fact that Mr. Sadler has lately fig
ured crcditabl) on Munich programmes as
composer and conductor. His "Phantasie
stueck" for string quartette, with mutes, and
lull orchestra was civen last month by two
different orchestras in Munich under his own
baton, eirninglnma double recall on the sec
ond occasion. An orchestral march by the
Pittsburg composerwas also given with success
at one ot these concerts.
Crochets and Quavers.
Lilli Leiim Ann has been engaged for a
series of performances at the Hungarian
National Opera House at Pestb.
ADELII.A l'ATTl, at Christinastide, gave a
dinner to 1,000 poor and unemployed in her
neigl.borhooJ. at Crag-y-Nos, and she also
provided tea for 1,200 school children later.
Mr. Ovide Mtjsin and his concert company
offer an attractive evening at Old City Hall the
coming Thursday. Mr. Musln has already
proven to a Pittsbunr audience bis right to the
international fame he enjoys as a violinist.
The 'Tear Book Souvenir" published by
The J'resto. of Chicago, contains a deal of in
teresting matter in a very handsome form. But
that cut and story about Mozart's pipe would
have earned more weight if duly credited to
J.11B JJiai'ATCU.
51. &AINT-SAENS is off again on his travels
first to Spam, but, it is said, with tbe intention
ot going on to the Island of Ceylon. He will,
however, be absent only four months, inas
much as be proposes to be back to superintend
the production of his "Ascamo" in London.
Mrs. Kate O. Litpa is about to publish
throuch the Ditsons, her sacred song, "Our
Saviour's Promise," and an Easter anthem.
These will be tho first American publications
from the pen of this esteemed Pittsburg
musician, though a number of ber works have
found publicity abroad.
Miss May Beeslet, of Pittsburg, having
some time since had a private hearing by Mr.
Zoellner, tbe conductor, and the pro
gramme committee of the New York
Liederkranz, was chosen from among
several singers strongly pressed for
tbe occasion a: the soprano soloist of tho
important concert given by that leading male
chorus last eveninz. Mr. Gadehus. the great
Wagner tenor, and Mrf. Kltter-Goetz, of the
Metropolitan Opera House, were the other
soloists. Mrs. W. B. Wolfe will sing for Miss
Beeslev tcday at the Third Presbyterian
Church.
Count ton Moltke aged 8k pretty well
known as a soldier, plays with considerable
skill on the violoncello, and Edison, the inven.
tor, though suffering from deafness, is pas
sionately fond of music. Tbe Duke of Wel
lington spent a fortune every year in pronding
artists for musicales. Napoleon was said to 1)3
a first rate judge and no mean critic of opera,
and when disengaged was a renowned first
nighter. Gladstone is a lover of sacred music,
and tbe great agnostic, Charles Bradlaogb.
never misses an opDortnnity to attend oratorio
performance! in London. Ruskin was fond of
the nolin, as was Cardinal Newman, who was
an industrious member of the old Sacred Har
monic Society of London. Exchange.
The important local concert of the week is
that of the Allegheuy Musical Association, at
Carnegie Hall, on Tuesday evening. The lor
eign attraction will be Miss Maud Powell, the
gifted young violinist, whose widely established
reputation entitles her to a hearty welcome on
this hct first appearance here. This is the pro
gramme chosen by Conductor W. A Lafferty:

A MILKMAN'S SCHEME.
Tot a Particle of Dirt Fos!blo in the Plan
of a Minneapolis Man.
Minneapolis, Jan. 17. An enterpris
ing dairyman ol this city is about to intro
duce a new system of milk delivery. He has
already acquired the reputation of furnishing
the purest milk as a result of perfect stable
arrangements. He now proposes to do away
with the tin delivery can, which has always
defied perfect cleanliness, even with the
greatest care, and will substitute glass jars,
holding a quart or a pint, as may be desired
by the customer. A wagon built so as to
carry several hnndred of these jars will soon
be put on the road. Each jar is 6et in a
wire frame. A wire frame basket that will
hold six quart and two pint jars, is placed
on the seat by the driver, the cans in place.
When a stop is made he jumps off the
wagon, basket in hand, and leaves one, two
or three jars on the kitchen table, as may
be required, taking the empty jars in turn,
which have been thoroughly cleansed by the
housewife. He is back on bis wagon ready
to go on by the time that he could pour out
his milk into a small delivery can and he
ready to leave the wagou under the present
tin can system. He thus saves from two to
three hours on a trip, bringing milk to all
customers earlier. This dairyman will also
introduce a new milk pail in his stable. It
is covered, and the milk enters the pail
through a protecting spout.

THE HEESHT OF TBAVEESE BAY.
Ee Lives on a Little Island Not Claimed by
Any Country
MuskegoitJ Mich., Jan. 17. Dick Bas
set, the solitary inhabitant of "No Man's
Land," well known as the "Hermit of
Traverse Bay," is in the city visitingfriends.
The land in question is in the west arm of
the bay, and is separated from Marion Island
by several hundred feet of shoal water. It
contains about one acre of land. Bassett
has lived there 12 years, and in all that
time he has not been allowed to pay taxes or
cast a vote. He has offered his ballot sev
eral times, and always had it rejected be
cause be did not live in the United States.
He makes a good living catching fish, and
has tried to buy the island of the Govern
ment, but the" applications came back from
"Washington marked: "There is no island as
described."
Mr. Bassett is a full-chesfed man of about
60, with thick brown hair and beard, now
tinged with gray. He takes the situation
philosophically, and says he means, to hold
possession of the island ''even if it does not
exist" The 'first year he lived there he
locked his cabin during his absences, but
one day tbe door was broken down and some
of his property taken. Since then he leaves
money, food and fuel in plain sight, and the
door is never locked. A note of welcome is
always left, and Indians and white wan
derers always make decent use of bis hos
pitality. He is located only about a mile
from the Traverse Bay resort, and is on
excellent terms with the leading men of the
association. He is well educated and intelli
eeut .md a great favonte.in the vicinity of
his home.
A BHIDEGBOOM'S PLBJT&Y.
Love Runs Jfot Smoothly, Even After Elope
ment and Marriage. .
Zanesville, O., Jan. 17. The town of
Eoseville is enjoying a sensation as the
sequel to a Christmas elopement. The day
before Christmas 'William Pringle -and Miss
Minta Stoneburner, who was under age,
concluded that it was impossible for them
to longer defer their intended marriage. A
last appeal to the girl's parents for their
consent was made, and, as it wa again re
fused, au elopement to Grafton, W. Va.,
was tbe result. There a marriage license
was procured, the ceremony duly performed
and the yonng couple returned to be for
given. Forgiveness was not, however, freely
bestowed.
Tbe bride's lather in some wav got word
that the young man perjured himself in
order to secure the liceusc. It is said that
in accordance with recently changed mar
riage laws he made oath that the young
woman was over 18 years of age and a resi
dent of the "West Virginia county. It is said
that an investigation by the irate father of
the bride showed the above to be true and
that he sent word home in advance of his
arrival to have his young son-in-law
arrested. Maternal love for the daughter,
however, prevented an immediate arrest,
and gave the young couple time to leave for
Darts unknown before the father could
arrive. Mr. and Mis. Fringle disappeared
last night.
STJCC1 THE FASTEB'S CHALLENGE.
Ho "Will Enter Into a Starvation Match 171111
Any Man.
New York, Jan. 17. "Giovanni Succi,
Scientist," as he signs his name, has written
a communication to tbe Herald, of which
tbe following extracts are the substance:
Every time I make experiences of fasting I
receive letters from various individuals chal
lenging me to fast. I have fasted publicly 35
times. Soou may suppose I. have received
many letters. The latest I read in tbe Herald
of tbe 13tb instant from one Dr. Tanner, who
challenges tn to fast at a future date the
World's Fair time for 90 daj s. or less if either
the doctor or myself succumbs sooner.
I hereby challenge anybody in tbe world to
fast 40 days. The acceptors to fast themselves
and to teach others to do the same thing, and
to prove that they are fasting, as I will, for the
benefit of mankind. I will guarantee by tho
aid of my application of the fluid force
"psychic" on the fortieth day of tbe fast to ride
horseback ten miles or run a mile or two or re
main in tbe water swimming for a long period,
or, in fact, do anything in a mnscular athletic
way that a man in a normal condition can do.
No attention will be paid to those who do not
desire to fast from a purely scientific stand
point. The Best Thine for a Stubborn Conch.
From the Kimball (S. D.) Graphic
"While the columns of the Graphic arc
open to any and all unobjectionable adver
tisements, yet it is quite impossible for us
to speak knowinely of the merits of the
various articles ol merchandise advertised.
Particularly is this true of patent medi
cines. But there are exceptions occasion
ally, and a noteworthy exception is the cel
ebrated Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
This now universally known medicine has
been advertised in the Graphic for four or
five years, but not until recently had we any
personal knowledge of its wonderful efficacy,
which has come about through the prevail
ing influenza and the stubborn cough that
has so often attended it Iq the writer's
lamily this medicine has on several occa
sions this winter cured a cough that baffled
any and all other remedies; and tbe number
of families in Kimball and vicinity in
which this remedy has been used with like

FELL INTO A HIDDEN WELL.
A Pfle of Bnbbish Suddenly Caves in
Beneath a Negro's Foett
Atlahi-a, Ga., Jan. 17. Henry Nor
wood.'a negro laborer, met a horrible death
here late this -afternoon. A pile of rubbish
over a hidden well caved in Tieneath him.
He fell 60 feet Into the pit, and with and
upon him such a mass of debris as immedi
ately choked up the well, crushing and
burying the negro so deeply that all efforts
to rescue his body have up to a late hour to
night proved unavailing.
The well was located on the site of the big
"Van "Winkle factory fire of last summer.
It had been used to supply the engines with
water, and was still lull to a depthof 15 or
20 feet. Norwood, when the accident oc
curred, was sitting on a great heap of rub
bish cleaning brick to be hauled away from
the old building to be used ehiewbere. Since
the fire the mouth of the well bad been com
pletely hidden by this trash pile, and it is
doubtful if the negro knew ot its existence
till everything gave way beneath him and
he was hurled headlong down the shaft. A
large lorce1 of hands are now at work, and
will continue through the night drawing up
bricks and water, but with little prospect of
reaching bottom before to-morrow.

CLOAKS
SACRIFICED !
"As the day lengthens the
cold strengthens."
This is an old proverb and a true one, too.
There's lots of cold weather to come, but it
needn't worry you so long as we are selling
winter garments at such ridiculously low
figures. Just as if prices weren'tlowenough,
the knife has been thrust in again and Cloaks,
Jackets and Wraps are now selling for
much less than material alone would cost
you. This is no exaggeration, but a solid,
substantial lact we stand prepared to prove
to all comers. Such bargains " are
unheard of in the history of the trade. Our
anxiety to clean out this department quickly
is the cause of such reckless price cutting.
Extensive alterations are soon to be made in
onr'stores and room is needed room we
must have. That's all's to it. Now is the
buyer's opportunity.
Look at the List.
Just glance over the following special
offerings. Then see if you can't save money
by spending a little of it:
Fine Tailor-Made 27-inch Jackets. S3. 3 75. s5
toJ8 75.
Long Newmarkets, elegantly made, S3, 4, Jo,
J6,J7andJ8.'
An even SO and no more real Stockinette
Newmarkets at $5 that were SIS. First come,
first served. Don't waitlf you want one.
Seal Flash Jackets, E5, 7 60, 9 75 up.
Seal Flush Sacaues, S12 75, S14 50 to $19 75,
worth at least double the money.
Every counter in every de
partment strewn with bar
gaz'ns that wt'll attract atten
tion these two towns over and
prove an advertisement for tts
that will live tn the memory
of purchasers.
