?&i THE PITTSBTJKG- DISPATCH.' "SUlsTDAT, FEBRUABY M, 189L THE MUSIC WORLD Iyanhoe Presented to the Flower of All London in the Eojal Opera House Last Kight. A MOST GORGEOUS SPECTACLE, And a Production Conceded By All to Be the Crownin? Work of tha Popu lar Composer's Life. TOE PIERSE-BLAMPHIS PrIEFORHAKCE. A Budget cf Ktvi of Isterest to LoTtn of tie D.tfse Art js tie Two Cibffl. A special cablegram received by The Dispatch last nicbt thus describes tbe reception of "lvanhoe:" Tbe opening of the Koyal English Opera House was beyond question tbe greatest first night London has ever seen. The great interest attaching to the occasion was due to the fact that the fl.OOO.OOO which it had cost D'Oyly Carte to lift the curtain on "lvanhoe" bad been made by English opera and been in vested in the enterprise devoted solely to English opera. The composer, Sir Arthur Sullivan, is tbe loremost representative of tbe national school, and that the librettist, Julian Sturgis, was an American vas an ' interestinc commentary upon the steadily increasing importance or tbe American con tingent in tbe English world of art. The neve house is both grand and beauti ful, and takes hich rank among tbe grand opera bonses of tbe world. The electric lights will probably never illuminate a more brilliant audience than that of to night. In the royal box sat the Prince of "Wales, with the Princess on his right, in dark blue velvet and a magnificent tiara in her hair, and on bis left tbe Princess Maude. In tbe box adjoining were the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and party. In the boxes opposite were Lord Albert .Botnschild and Lord and Lady Londesborough. All the notable names in painting, music, drama and law were there assembled, all the theatrical managers and millionaires looked on critically and envi ously, and the list of names would embrace hundreds that are world wide. When the royal party entered the orches tra struck up "God Save the Queen," and the entire audience rose to their feet and joined in the singing. When Sir Arthur appeared in the leader's seat a second out burst and cheers followed. As the curtain rose tbe pit made itself obnoxious, as usual on first nights , and for five minutes not a note of music could be heard above their indignant roars. The singers were unnerved, ' but Sir Arthur was perfectly cool aod kept them at their work. After a policeman had cleared the gallery trie opera began to be beard. The firsbscene was the hall of Bother wood, the home of Cedric, the Saxon. It was magnifier ut an old Horman baroni.il hall. The second cene was the chamber of the castle, with a love scene between lvanhoe and J?oicena. Tne duet was beautiful and caused tbe first heavy applause. In tbe second act a grand scene took place between Sebecca and the lemplar, she standing on tbe battlements and threatening to leap to death if he touches her. In this Oudin and Hiss Jlac intyre both scored heavily The third act opens in a room of the castle. lvanhoe, wounded and a prisoner, has a long aria and duet with Sebecca. Then ensues the storm ing of the castle. The whole room falls ponderously into ruins, revealing all the castle on fire and crumbling as the Saxons surmount the ruins in front This was a grand stage setting and was elective in every way. The whole performance was remarkable in many ways. The elaborateness and lavish expenditure could only be compared to the Lyceum production which it fully eoualed. Its smoothness was remarkable for a first night performance. Oudin, Miss Palliser and Avon Saxon, were distinctly successful and not more so than the English members ol the cast. Of the music, opinions varied. It is clearly the high est and finest work Sir Arthur Sullivan has done. Nevertheless tbe popu lar taste may possibly find a sameness in its course which will fail to win for it great popularity. Grand and sweeping, it does not rise at any point to high emotional ef fect: There is no single movement,no grand aria or grand march to serve as a measure of the lest, nor is there any particularly melo dic movement calculated to arouse enthusi asm. It is complete and finished rather than inspirational. Tbe inadvertent omission last week of an item giving further news regarding the con cert for the benefit of the Pennsylvania State Music Teachers Association, origin ally announced in this department two weeks ago, makes it the more pleasant to be able tnis morning to give prominent place to the following circular letter about to he sent out by those having that praiseworthy enterprise in charge: For the first time in the history of Pennsyl. Tama, the members of the music profession are uuiled in an association organized to promote the interests of tbo profession, as sneh. The oran. ration is not intended to benefit any in dividual or clique. It is nnt in any sense a monitur of prn.es. It spenfls all monejs re ceived, by fees and otherwise, upon expenses of its annual meetings mil in tbe prmting and distribution of the essajs and discussions on musical subjects there beard. It has no kink ing fund aud no stated source of income, ex cept the annual dues of members and receipts of its early rueetincs. Such an organization, doing missionary musical work, is essentially dependent upon the members of the profession for contribu tions of their best thoucht and newest results in essay, lecture and discussion, for concert perlnrmances and forties compositions, and it is dependent for pecuniary aid, nut only upon them, but upon all of that Uige number out fcide the prolession who believe in the educa tional and benebcent power of music. The association is not a mendicant, but it is, as an association, essentially a beneficiary. It owes ita existence to tbe disinterested con tributions of its professional members and the musical public. It has had two successful meetings in Philadelphia. The next one. will be in Pittsburg. There is now a debt of about 400, and there is a plan on foot to cancel this ucbt bv a large concert, to be given on February 10," and, if possible, to secure an additional sum to open tLe va) to a successful meeting in Fittsburg. At a meeting of prominent musicians it was decided to accept the tender of a soloist from the "fctar Course," tbe famous soprano, Clem entine de Vere, who will sing three or four numbers at this concert. Tbe remainder ot tbe programme will be filled by tbe most prominent Fittsbuic musicians. This will be the first occasion of an appeal to the musical public to heartily support an enter prise indorsed by all the best of the musicians of the State. The meetings are intended lor the profit of this public rather than for tbe profes sion itself. The beartv support of this imme diate plan is asked for from tbe press and the public, as an earnest of a future equally hearty welcome by Pittsburg to tLe musicians of the entire bute. What Kill jou do for it? Tickets are at all music stores and in the bauds of the profession. Jos H.Gittings. hevzridgk Websteb, ClBL BETTER, C D. CaRTEB. Programme Committee. Ad. 11.

In addition to Miss Ds Vere, the pro gramme of this concert will enlist the fol lowing leading local performers: Hiss Kate Ockleston-Lippa, Miss Mamie Eeuck, Messrs. Jos. H. Gittings, Carl Better, Beveridce "Webster, Harry B. Broccett, Jr., Jos. A. Vogel, Charles Davis Carter and Charles C. Mellor. The cpnfidence with which The Dis patch, two Sundays ago, urged the merits of this plan, as proposed bv Messrs. Hen ricks and Webster and acknowledged by President Carter, was, of course, founded upon careful inquiry intp, and considera tion of, the whole matter in order to be sure that it would in no way compromise the association. It was ascertained beyond a doubt, before making the plan public, that it was wholly free from un worthy, ulterior motive on the part of tbe managers proposing it, who. not only made themselves solely liable for the expenses while giving all the net profits to the asso ciation, bnt also at considerable inconven ience abandoned certain plans long before made and partly acted on with reference to this February concert of their series. The mere fact that one of this firm of con cert managers aud he not the one who originated this plan happens to be at the head of a piano dealing company, could not possibly be fraught with any more danger to the association than its own act in electing two other local piano dealers as regular officers (or tne current year. The association is wholly dependent upon all kinds of per sons interested in the development of music it) our State; it would be absolutely ridicu lous to maintain tbat a person connected with the. music trades should not be permitted to off or his Individual aid and service to the asso ciation. .Such comment as this seemed altogether un necessary In the first place, in a wonld seem so now, if certain local cotemporaries bad gone to tbe pains ot learning the facts instead of cud celling their brains to Imagine fanclfnl ob jections. The unbesitatinc and enthusiastic co-operation of the persons named above as committeemen or performers comprising tne chief officers of the the State association and the acknowledged leaders in local musical matters furnishes the best possible proof tbat this plan for paving the tletrt and beginning tbe local campalcn for next winter's meeting is en tirely free from "objectionable features" and altogether worthy of the cordial public support whicn The Dispatch bespoke for It from the first .. The Pierse-Bhunphln Concert. It was quite evident that the large audience that gathered in Old City ball last Friday evening was thorouchly satisfied with tbe en tertainment afforded by the Pierse-Blampbln Concert Company so well satisfied, indeed, that tbe encore pieces demanded almost made a complete double bill or tbe programme. Mr. Frank Milton Hunter, being one of Pittsburg's boys and this his first appearance at home after prolonged studies abroad, was naturally the central object of curiosity and attention. This peculiarly trying position amply explains a certain nervous excitement observable in Mr. Hunter's singing on this oc casion, and a just allowance must be made for it in forming an estimate of his powers. In the teotb of these circumstances, Mr. Hunter achieved a gratifying success. His voice is of thetrne tenor timbre and range; in the loner and medium registers the tone is notably pure and resonant; tbe highest tones, while easily reached, were marred on Friday evening by a "throaty" quality, tbat may well have been the temporary result of nervous contraction of tbe muscles, and would not seem to be ineradicable in any event. It is a vocal organ distinctly above the average, while it did not appear at all phenomenal. Mr. Hunter sings with much taste, feeling and spirit. All that he does is in the right artistic direction: having at tbe out set of bis career accomplished this much, there is every reason for an altogether bopef ul prog nostication as to his future, wheu experience shall have added those arts and graces, that oreaatn ana repose, wnicn, ordinarily, experi ence alone can beget. Miss Hortense Pierse proved not only to be even more attractive in person than her pictures, out to oe tne possessor oi exceptional artistic resources as well. Her voice is a rich, full-toned soprano, delightful alike in its quality (barring the few highest tones) and in the rare ease of its delivery. She vocalizes well, through she is to be assigned rather to the dramatic than to the coloratur school Her stjle. while eminently reposeful, has sufficient warmth of feeling. A special word should be spoken for tbe clearness and simplicity with which Miss Pierse sang tbe old ballads, w ith harp accompaniment a very pleasant feature of the programme. Mr. James Blamphin rescues the harp from milady's bondolr and restores it to Tara's balls, or some other place where strong men assem ble. He is distinctively a masculine player of an Instrument tbat has been growing effem inate, in associa ion, at least. Such broad, massive chords, sneb a variety in tone-color, such clean-cut treatment of themes and figures of a character more often associated with the piano than tbe harp, have not been heard from any harp player in this city jn years. Jlr. Blampbin's selections were, moreover, of a musical interest, quite out of the ordinary. One could well forgive a certain ladr of deli cacy, finesse and poetry in Mr. Blampbin's play ii.g for the sake of his revelation of the broader capabilities of his instrument. Miss Kate Vashti Baxter deserves a heartv word of praise for the exceptionally skillful and discreet accompaniments she furnished throughout tbe evening, as also in a slightly less degree for the interesting piano solos with which she opened each division of the programme.

The meeting of the Art Musicale, which was to have been held at tbe residence of Mrs. Mary K.

Mrs. Kate Ockxestoh-Lippa's piano re cital at the Pittsburg Club Theater on Tuesday evening forms an interesting featnre of tbe wees. Miss Agnes Vogel and Mr. Carl Better will assist in the-choice programme offered.

Conductor Taylor said that five men got aboard the car just before the tuunel was entered, and it was crowded. They stood up, jostled the old man and on reaching the other end got off. The old man's coat had been unbuttoned from the jostling which he had received, but be did not discover until he bad ridden several blocks that his wallet had been stolen from his pocket It contained, he paid, 500 in cash and 5500 in negotiable notes.

Absence of the Husband Taken Advantage of for the Pnrpose. CULMINATION OP A REIGN OP TERROR New Albast, Ind., Jan. 31. One of the most horrible outrages tbat have been committed by the "White Caps of Harrison and Crawford counties occurred last night in Harrison county, near the Crawford county line, about 30 miles southwest of this city. Jacob Perew, a farmer, poor but laborious and upright, had gone to Leavenworth, tbe county seat of Crawford county, to visit his aged father, who was ill, leaving his wife Mary and four small children at their humble home on the farm, just over the line in Harrison county, and intending to remain away all night. This was on tho morning of tbe 30th. At midnight of that date a gang of HO masked men rode up to the Perew dwelling, and dismounting marched into the yard and up to tbe door and demanded admission. Mrs, Perew was in bed and re fused to open tbe door. Then the "White Caps, after firing several shots from their revolvers, procured a rail, and with it Battered Down the Door and entered the house. Mrs. Perew had left her bed, as bad her four little children, and when the savage brutes entered, the children were clinging in terror to their mother, weeping and begging piteously that the men would not hurt them. "With merci less barbarism tbe "While Caps seized the helpless woman in her night robes, tore her shrieking children from her, dragged her from the bouse and to a strip of woods on the opposite side of the highway, where they tied her face foremost to a tree, and with stout switches literally laid open the flesh from her shoulder to her hips, the blood following every lick. No fewer than 40 licks were given the woman, the blows being rained upon her after she had sunk in a faint against the ropes that bonnd her to tbe tree. While this awful scene of demoniac savagery was going on, the four children of the wretched woman stood by weeping and wringing their hands, and imploring tbe brutes to desist, and not murder their mother. Finally, the torturers left Mrs. Perew, apparently in a lifeless condition. The Victim Is Innocent. After they had gone the children went to the house and got a knife, with which they cut tbe ropes that bound their mother, and succeded in getting her to tbe bouse. She trill probably not recover from the torture she passed through. The "White aps told tbe children that they bad whipped their mother because she was not pure; but all her relatives agree, as do all who know her, that she is a woman of unspotted character. In all the history of "White Capism in Harrison and Crawlord counties, tbe whip ping of Mrs. Perew is the vilest, the most brutally savage crime they have committed. Tbe law is silent against them. Grand juries fail to indict them, or where indicted, petit jurors, composed of "White Caps or "White Cap sympathizers, clear the scoun drels or fail to agree. The result is that im migrants avoid these counties, and many of the better class of citizens in the "White Cap districts are moving to other localities, where the law is respected and in opera tion. PLAINFIELD'S Y0DNQ HEBO. A Small Schoolboy Saves His mother and Brother From Death. PiAlHFiELDs Jan. 31. Arthur Ford, a 13-year-old schoolboy, rescued bis mother and little brother Bertie from a horrible death by burning in their bouse yesterday morning. "William J. Ford, the father, is "Worshipful Master of Jerusalem Lodge, F. A. M., and a boot aud shoe dealer. He went to Trenton "Wednesday night to attend a Grand Lodge convocation, and returned to find his son the hero of the town. In the early hours of yesterday merninga fire burst out in the Ford cottage and dense clonds of smoke poured into the sleeping rooms on the second floor. Little Arthur was aroused by bis mother, and, breaking throngb a window, reached the upper porch, from which he slid cat-like to the ground, ran for a ladder, and brought his mother and brother to a place of safety. It was a very narrow escape, and none of the in mates had time to don their street clothes. Marriage Licenses Granted Yesterday. Name- Kesldcnce.
