The most important matter in a long
fc-hile to engage tbe attention of our music
loving people is tbe concert to be given next
Tuesday evemne in Carnesie Hall, Alle
gheny, for the benefit of the Pennsylvania
State ilusic Teachers' Association.
It is important artistically. The public
very rarely indeed has an opportunity to
hear in one evening so many of our foremost
artists as have volunteered tor this occasion.
The privilege of hearing Miss Clementine
de Vere, moreover, is one for which tbe
great cities are vieing with each other. The
continual incurrence of her nam in the most
important concerts and music festivals, and
tbe unvarying praise accorded to her by the
most conservative and trusty critics, are al
most, if not quite, without precedent in tbe
country's musical annals. In the following
programme there is abundant artistic merit
to make it. for that reason alone, well worth
while for any music lover to pay and to go
to enjoy it:

Importance cf the Object.
But this concert assumes far greater im
portance in view of its object and surround
ing circumstances.
The Pennsylvania State Music Teachers'
Association has broader scope tnan its name
would iniplj. It is not, like school teachers'
institutes, for example, confined in mem
be'ship to an v particular branch of its depart
ment. It includes as active members persons
who are piof 'ssionally devoted to the cause
of music, whether they be teachers, com
posers, singers, plajera on any instrument,
critics or what not; as associate members it
welcomes even one who cares to become such,
without resard to race, color or previous condi
tion of servitude. Its objects are as broad and
catholic as iu membership. Lein the same
v-.thin our State as those of the older organiza
tion lately known a the Music Teachers' Na
tional Association, hut which has wisely
chanced us name to suit its scope and is now
the National Society for the Promotion of
Musical Art.
In a word, the P S. M. T A. is in its essence
the organization which best u pities and repre
sents the whole cause of musical art in tbe
Keystone State. It is only a 2-j car-old infant
ye.; but the opportunities before it are simply
Incalculable. Every friend and "upporter of
musical art in our fetate should, therefore, be
In just the same measure the friend and sup
porter of this association.
I ext 1 uesda's concert puts the prime test to
Pit'sbcrg's friendship and support. The tuo
annual meetings of th e association already held
in Philadclnhiahave lelt it in an altogether
rlourishinc and promising condition, snc only
for the debt of some 400 in
curred on account of the second
meeting 1 hat debt does not sem large; but
Jt might well overwhelm a bodv with such a
large woiL in hand, dependent wholly for
revenue on the membership dues of 1 apiece
per annum and the slight receipts from the
concerts of its annual meetings, which oucht
not to bemonej-makingatfairsatall.
Pittsburg's reDresentativcs hae invited the
association to hold its third meeting hero next
December. We are bound to make that meet
ing a success, merely as a matter of local pride
If for no other reason. As that indebtl
cdness is in fact a dangerous thine
for the association. we above all
otLers are interested in averting the dancer
just now so as to prevent an possibility of the
death or disabling of this tine infant while in
our charge. W e have, on the contrary much
to gain by proving that Pittsbors's enterprise
can make up Philadelphia's debcit in money
and eho' a larger surplus of artistic success to
boot.
All these considerations center upon and are
Inseparable from Tuesday eveninc's concert
which Messrs. Henncks and Webster, mana
gers of the fatar Course, have so generously of.
fcrcd to the associalion, the guaranteemc tho
entire expense (including Miss de Vere's large
honorarium), and the association receiving the
entire net profit. That offer has been accepted
by the ofheors of the association, nearly
all of whom are leading local mui.
cians and are actnely at work for
tho success of the concert. The man
aging committees for the concert comprise
President Charles Davis Carter. Messrs Joseph
II. Gittmcs, Cail Rettcr, Beveridge Webster
Charles C. Mellor. J. R. Henncks. J. p. Mc
Collnru and Ad. M. Foerster names that
speak for themselves. The box office
at Henncks' musio store. Fifth ave
nue, was not opened until Fri'dav.
but bv yesterday afternoon the seats already
marked off erc more than sufficient, with the
receipts from programme advertising,
to pay all the expenses taking no
account of the great number of tickets
without coupons heme sola b teachers pupils
and others, but not ct exchanged for reserved
sets
Eierv dollar henceforth paid for a ticket
will, therefoie. go right into the treasury of tho
association.
There are seais enough in Carnegie Hall at
Jl apiece to pay all expenses and to wipe out
the whole debt and to leave a nice balance be
sides, ready for use in makinc the Decem
ber meeting in Pittsburg a tremendous success.
There ought not to be enouch seats in
Carnegie Hall, howeer, to hold by any
means all the peopieof this community who
w oula heartily enjoy that concert, and who are
willing to contribute toward Pittsbuig's initial
effort on behalf of the Pennsjlvania btate
Music Icachers Association.
This is a test vote on a question already cer
tain to be decided in the atSrmative. It is a
matter where the size of the majority counts.
Let every one be in bis place on the winnin
side! "

Musical Matters From Mnnlcb.
Mr. Frank E. Saddler writes entertainingly
from Munich, under date of January 19, as lol
lows: There was a Tery unusual cast of characters
in tbe latest production of "Don Juan" at the
Royal Opera House here. As it happened a
couple of the younger membersof the company
were on the sick list and their places were tilled
with old staters. It is probably tbe most aged
representation of Mozart's great opera ever
given.
I procured the list of ages from Siebr, who,
as "one of the oldast," was particularly pleased
that all the gray beards were on the boards at
once. The following are the ages of the eight
principal characters:
Tears.
HerrGura (Don Juan) 48
Frau Weckerlin (Donna Anna) 46
Frau Vogel (Elvira) 47
Herr Vogel (Ottarlo) 48
HerrSiehr (Comlhur) 52
Herr Bausewem (Leporelio) 52
Herr Th. Mayer (Masetto) 61
Fiau Meyaenhelm (Zerlive) 42
A total of S84
Or an exact average of 43 years- lor each
character, Frau Meysenheim, as Zerline, was
tbe "baby" at 42 years, and Siehr holds the
ticket for tbe position of grandpa, as be has the
advantage of Bausewein by a couple of months.
If the same caste givo this opera in two years
from now their combined aces will reacb back
to tbe discovery of America by Columbus (400
years.)
"AsraeV poor Franchetti's opera, has been
taken from rehearsal and will not be given.
On Thursday Mascagm's new opera, "Caval
liera Rusticana," will be given here for the
fir-t time. According to tbe "Triumvirate,"
Lew. Fischer and Such, the music is brilliant,
sparkling, melodious, and the instrumentation
line.
Thero aro so few novelties on the board this
winter that the excitement ot a "nrst time" is
felt even to the semi-musical classes. Tho
carnival has knocked the bottom ont of all
serious musical projects for the present.
Art of Musical Printing.
In response to a query from a corresnondent,
the following is reprinted from Presto, explain
ing a new and interesting development in the
art of music printing:
Mr. Bernardo: Boekelman has discovered, or
invented something new in the printing of
editions of musical classics. The edition is
printed in colors. Bach's "The Well-Tempered
Clavichord" is chosen for an illustration.
The chief theme is painted in red. the
counter-theme in green. In fugues where triple
counter.pomt is employed, purple is used as an
additional coloring-, the body of the fugue being
printed in black. The fugues are thus "edited"
in tbe clearest possible manner, tbe several
parts being readily and distinctly traced for
tbe use of the performer or tbe student.
moreover, a certain phrase used with con
spicuous design is printed in notes of different
shapes. The "Harmonic Structure" of each
fugue has been executed with great care. Tbe
student is thus enabled to master the musical
skeleton before commencing tbe study of tbe
fucuo itself. Explanatory remarks and aphor
isms are added to each fugue."

TscnAiEOWSKT's new opera, "PiqueDame,"
was produced at St. Petersburg on the 19th ult..
with creat sncce'S. The mise en scene was
superb, and the best artists of tbe Russian
stage were engaged. The composer was re
called a creat number of times.
Mcsio by American composers monopolized
tho programme of the second concert of the
New York Orpheus Society, Arthur Mees, con

cently. The composers who were represented
in tbe list aro Max Vocrich. Homer Bartlett,
Henry Holdrn Huss. E. A. McDowell, Arthur

Klein, Carl Walter and Dudley Buck.
The JVoatore and Gazetta Musicals pub
lish lists of the new operas produced in Italy
during the past year. The former paper names
59, the latter only 52. but both seem to admit
that the only two which can be regarded as
having obtained any striking success are Mas
cagm's "Cavallena Rusticaua," produced at
the Costanzi Theater of Rome on May 18. and
Catalam's "Lorely" at the Teatro Regio, Turin,
on February 16.
The Pans Jlfcnestrcl says that an Italian im
presano, one Fanni, a barytone singer, has or
ganized a troupe, intending to tour throughout
the United States, consisting of a Creole so
prano, a neeress contralto, a German tenor, a
barytone from Hawaii.a French pianist and the
director himself, an Italian. He ought to sell
out to Mr. Abbey, who, with his poljglot
troupe, could readily satisfy all tbe warring
elements now racing around the Metropolitan
Opera house. As that pretty flcht seems to be,
with many ot tne fichters. more a matter of
nationality than of music, there would nodonbt
be found some who would rather see Sig. Fari
ni's French pianist In front of the stage than
Anton Scidl and his German band.
Mr, F. W. Riesbebo, the well-known But
falo pianist and correspondent of the Mu
sical Courier, writes to his paper that
Mrs. Jnho L. Wyman sang "like a young
empress" at a recent important concert in
that city, and continues thus: "Bat, please,
Mrs. Wyman, the next time you sing any of
Mr. Nevin's MSS. songs, please bring the
music with von. In my capacity as accompan
ist I was obliged to play 'Little Boy Blue' by
ear, memory or whatever you call it; after
ward I scribbled it down, and by means of a
species of musical stenography, which only
the devil and I could read, I was enabled to
play it. Mr. Nevin did send the other sonc, 'In
a Bower,' and by means of the combination
above alluded to (the devil and I) managed to
decipher it. Friend Nevin. thou art an ag.
gravator, for truly such hieroglyphics, such
notes mortal man ne'er saw before. Now, if
the notes had been due In 90 or even 60 davs I
would lnve risen up and called you blessed.
Graceful. rcOned, fluent songs were they hut
I defy his nibs. Satan L, to concoct such a fist.
Ethelbert, you certainly did learn to write
music abroad, bnt you certainly did not learn
to write notes"'
Go away from home to learn the news! "Lu
cille Etdndge-Shaf er w rites the Indicator that
she proposes to establish a music journal in
Pittsburg. In all kindness we advise her to
abandon the plan for it will certainly abandon
her in a short time. Thererare only two cities
in tbe country that can support musical Jour
nals New York and Chicago and the Diano
trade alone makes success even in those cities
possible." Tho esteemed Indicator misunder
stands the matter. Pittsburg is too far from
Chicago to catch the "blg-head" badlv. It is
not a class journal, but simply a musical de
partment in a proposed panor having other
aim. also, of which Mrs. Shafcr is to have
charge. And in this capacity musical folk
will no doubt be glad to welcome
Mrs. Shafer, with whose maiden name. Miss
Lucille Eldndge." tbey are somewhat familiar
as that of tne viollmste who came to us well
recommended, not lone ago, from Cleveland.
Intelligent and earnest musical writers in the
daily and weekly press can and do accomplish
much for the advancement of mnsic, especially
in a community like ours. Indeed, in view of
the tact, so frankly confessed by the Indicator.
that inus.c papers must absolutely depend for
existence upon the piano trade, there aro
grounds for maintaining that u that citv the
pipers of general circulation form a "more
trustworthy medium for musical information
and opinion than the class papers themselves.
What a pity it is to see such a medium some
times misused to acgravate or to gratify pro
fessional or trade jealousies, when it might he
made useful in helping along the common
cause!

LEADING CITIZEN DTISG FB0M IT
Bostok, Feb. 7. The Boston Homeo
pathic Medical Society has given the city
of oulture a new cause to worry. Last
night this society, alter a long debate,
passed resolutions to the effect that as ar
senic is "used in large quantities in the
manufacture of goods for domestic use, such
as paper hangings, draperies, wearing ap
parel, children's toys, etc, and as many
persons are poisoned through ignor
antly using such articles, and often
suffer loss of health and even
life thereby, this society is of tbe
opinion that the State should pass such
laws as will properly restrict the manu
facture and sale of all articles for domestic
use containing arsenic by providing, among
other things, that when articles containing
such matter are offered for sale they shall
be clearly and legibly marked toshow that
they contain poison, and by providing also
that the violation of such laws shall be
punishable by fine or imprisonment, or
both."
It was also decided to appoint a committee
of five to help secure proper legislation and
to call upon the other medical societies ot
the State, upon all the physicians, chemisti
and scientists, as well as tbe citizens at
large, to aid in this effort to protect the pub--l
lie ueaiin.
Some of the Arguments.
During tbe discussion Br. I. T. Talbot
said: "The peculiar character of arsenic
and its wonderful power of combination
with other substances to produce a great
variety of brilliant and enduring colors has
brought it into a Tery extensive use, which
has steadily and rapidly increased, until it
now enters into the manufacture of a very
large variety of domestic articles, many of
which are worn as clothing or brought into
close contact with individuals, and there is
hardly a household in the country but has
more or less of this poison in some form
within it.
"Aside from the large quantities produced
from some of tbe mines in the West and
from various other sources the importations
of arsenic into this country the last year
amounted to about 10,000,000 pounds, thus
furnishing more than 2i ounces to every
man, woman and child in the country. "We
sleep in bedrooms, the walls of which are
hung with paper filled with arsenic. Our
most beautiful draperies are equally loaded
with this poison. We sit upon sofas that,
every time they are compressed, throw into
the atmosphere this same poison. "We wear
clothing containing enough arsenic, if taken
into .the stomach, to produce speedy death.
Killing Off tbe Babies.
"Oar little children are wrapped in beau
tiful shawls containing this death-dealing
drug. Their playthings are rendered more
beautiful and attractive by this very poison.
The papers in which their bonbons and
candies are enveloped are colored with
arsenical preparations, and even the utensils
in which our food is cooked are sometimes
lined with this poison. .
"To-day one of the most honored citizens
of Boston is lying on his death bed, after two
or more years of prostration and suffering,
and it is only within the last few months
that it was discovered that his urine was
loaded with arsenic which his system had
been gradually absorbing from long-continued
exposure to it. The nicer chemical
tests or late years are discovering the same
condition in many chronio invalids, while
every physician has had cases which, resist
ing all treatment, he has been obliged to
send away irom home into different sur
roundings before they could be relieved.
Arsenic taken into the system in this insid
ious manner not only produces the symptoms
peculiar to itself, bnt from its depressing in
fluence upon all the vital functions renders
it more susceptible to every form of disease
to which it may be exposed."
Other Cases of Poisoning.
Dr. J. P. Sutherland reported a case of
poisoning. A child 6 years old was the sub
ject For two years of babyhood he had
been perfectly healthy. Then his color be
came bad, tongue coated, etc. There was
no explanation of his condition. Arsenic
was lound. Tnen it was discouered that
peacock blue piint in one room was loaded
with arsenic Removing the paint the boy
recovered health.
Dr. Sutherland next described the poison
ing of a taxidermist who used arsenic in
stuffing birds. Dr. J. H. Sherman narrated
a simi'ar story of a taxidermist who, after 18
years of suffering, finally died from mere ex
haustion. About the lecture room last sight were
ranged samples. On one side were papers
gaudy with red and gold, with a huge blue
peacock occasionally thrown in. A sight of
them was enough to fill one with apprehen
sion, but tbey were all right not a trai.e of
arsenic in tbe whole lot. Opposite was a
row of meek, modest papers, poison in every
sheet. "Very dangerous" was tne inscrip
tion above some small tatters. "Full of
arsenic. Enined the voice of a young lady
singer," was another. A piece of an awn
ing, white, with a broad, bright red striue
running through it was marked: "Lady
poisoned by this."

Cause of
Rheumatism
A n acid which exists in sour milk and cider,
called lactic acid, is believed by physicians to be
tbe cause of rheumatism. Accumulating in the
blood, it attacks the fibrous tissues In the
joints, and causes agonizing pains. What is
needed is a remedy to neutralize the acid, and
to so invigorate tbe kidneys and liver that all
waste will be carried off. We can honestly
recommend Hood's Sarsaparilla for these pur
poses. It has cured others of rheumatism and
it will cnie you. N. B. Be sure to get

A Woman's Advice.
"There is little in woman's advice, yet, he
that won't take it is not overwise,' says C,er
Tantes. This proverb Is most aptly illus
trated in the following item:
During the fall of 1882, while my daugh
ter was teaching iu the country near here,
she contracted a severe cold and cough, i
sent her a bottle of Chamberlain s Cough
Eemedy and the effect was so satisfactory
that on her recommendation the .e'";e
neighborhood began its use, and with tbe
most satisfactory results, which has con
tinued with increasing confidence ever since.

A Well-Kmown Alleqheny Lady Testi
fies to the Great Benefit Derived
Feom Db.Byek3' Method of Ireatjient.
Among her many associates in Allegheny and
Pittsburg no one is more favorably known or
better liked than MissAnnln Lazarus. Natu
rally ota bright and bappy disposition, sbe dis
penses happiness and sunshine wherever she
goes. Her friends all deligbt In welcoming

the blues" fly out of the window.
In conversation lately with a friend. Miss
Lazarus confided tbe fact that a great deal of

troubles, with all their attending train of dis
tressing symptoms, such as pain over the eyes,
ringing in tbe ears, drvness of tho throat, which
keep up a constant tickling and desire to clear
It, distress after eating and a feeling of general
lassitude and incapacity for work.
Mitt Annie Lazarut, ISi Federal 3U, Allegheny.
Now, happily however, thanks to tne skiifnl
treatment of Dr. Brers, whom she will never
foreet, all these distressing symptoms have
been relieved, and sbe is once more berold self.
Sbe advises all her friends similarly afflicted to
seek the services of Dr. Byers, as his terms are
moderate and treatment efficacious A talk
with the crowds of patients who dally and
nightly throng his offices will convince anyone
of the great work be is dome and tbe kindly
feeling in which he Is held by them.
