What Constantin Sternberg Thinks Makes the Best Teacher. AX INTEEESTI.NG BUDGET OP NEWS One of our best music teachers said to the writer yesterday: "It is remarkable what a number of pupils have asked for a course of study in harmony this season. In past years it has takeu coaxing on my part to get even a tew to study harmony, and most of them would drop it as soon as they found there was any hard work in it. There seem to be a large growth in this direction of late." Several other straws from the recent ex perience of other local teachers show the blowing ot quite a general breeze in the di rection of reil musical intelligence. Can it be that people are coming to distin guish between a player and a musi cian? "What a curious thine it is, by the way, that the term "musician" is most commonly used with special reference to those who earn their living by playing on orchestral instruments, and who, in most Darts of the country, have to be busied most of the time with dance music and other of the lower grades ot composi tion the very persons whose daily work is least likelv to imply a knowledge of the science and art of music in the broadest noblest and most beautiful aspects. Yet this knowledge and its working out in one lorm or anotber is just what constitutes a musician. The others are prima facie only players; they may be musicinns as well, hut are much less likely to merit that honorable title than are the mnsic teachers and com posers, for instance, who are not commonly so called. A General Misconception. This side excursion into the question of terminology h, perhaps, more germane to the topic m hand than might be at first sup posed. The common application ot the term "musician" to the class of persons that are professionally and peculiarly players and nothing else, does in tact, imply a gen eral misconception of the nature and mis sion of music. It implies a general belief that playing (or singing) includes music as the greater includes the lesser. It implies, further, a general notion that players (and singers) have a sort of monopoly of what is best in music; that only those who can sing or play have the capacity to enjoy, or the right to hold an opinion about, the higher forms of music; that only lacile fingers and trained throats can give the "open sesame" supposed to be necessary to reveal the musical treasures that are real'v free as air to all mankind Laving ears to hear and hearts to icel. Ut course it follows that the methods and objects of musical studv are in like manner misconceived. Here, too, we find a common misuse of terms, curiously parallel to that spoken of above. Every pupil learning to thrum or hum an exercise or a tune is said to be "taKing a music lesson." That is certainly what they ought to be taking; but it is what' very lew of them are really getting. Slostoftbem are only learning to work their fingers or throats more easily, while little or no attention is being paid to the cul tivation ot the sensitive ear, the receptive heart and the discriminating intelligence, which are the main avenues to musician ship. Utilizing Mnsic Lessons. The pity of it is that the very things which so monopolize these "music lessons" ore the ones least utilized after the years of study are past. That mechanical fa cility so laboriously acquired in youth how rarely is it maintained, how frequently lost, when the duties and cares of mature years crowd in upon us. There is an appalling waste here, a fact that docs much to ioster the all too common be lief that any music study is utterly useless except for intending professionals. But let music study develop fully in the direction pointed by the straws above al luded to; let music in ail its breadth and beautv become the true object of "music les sons," while technique takes its proper sub ordinate place as the desirable and need ful means whereby the pupil can go on bv himself still further into the wonderland o'f tone; then nothing will have been done in vain, there will be little or nothing wasted, through lack of practice in later vears, but instead there will have been implanted in the pnpu a living seed whose sure growth will produce happiness, enrich character, add to the content of life in short, develop nobler manhood or womanhood. rrom High Authorities. Right in line with the above discussion come the following paragraphs from two ar ticles in the current Etude, the first being from Mr. Constantin Sternberg's paper read before the last meeting of the P. S. M. T. A. and the second from a series of articles bv 3Ir. Edward Dickinson on "The Place of JMusic in i Liberal Education. Jlr. Stern berg says: It goes without saying that wo cannot make a linllunt executant or every pupil, yet this is exactly what most teachers are trjimrtodo with all tbeir tnicbt. I think ne ought not to do that, unless a pupil show, unmistakable tigns of talent of a higher order, wherebv I mean such talent which ctaves utterance and requires a larger technical apparatus. In all other ordinary cases the teacher should regard hither technique" as a serious danger for his pupil's "'musical interests." and rather insist upon hisproduciug musical beautv vith the pos-ibly simplest technical mean Musical beautj is not chained to tceTinicai uitliculty; there arc many works of cnormuus technical difficulty and eutirclv devoid of beauty, and others immortal forthcir beauty which are technically easy. If the pupils could be made to understand and to crave for musical beauty instead of the "Jingle." tbeywould naturally keep their bauds away from the tasks of experienced artists; they should then co lo hear the artists, instead of saying, as they do now: "What is the pro cramme? Aiiiussionata! Bill! I pined that last year mjelf! I am already at the Rioletto lantisj: Why should 1 "go?- I am not caricaturing; tins is quoting a fre quent occurrence in real life. It is one of the bad results from false rivalry among "muMC teacheis." Is, thee, he really the bc-t music teacher whoso pupils plav the most diffi. cult pieces? I think not: but 'I do tlnnic that be is the best music teacher who is represented by the largest number of pupils m the concerts and recitals. He taught his pupils to under Mund and enjoy music, the other one only fos tered their aisregard for artistic superiority, made tLeui indifferent to music, encouraged their personal vanity and taught them finder gymnatic-. " Mr. Dickinson's words put a good period to the whole topic: I am often asked if I think that everyone Simula study music, and I answer emphatically, "Yes."' ,"ot that everyone that has vocii organs shnnlri frv tn Kin- Hpiwn fnrk;i Kor that every child ought to bo made to In play the piano or violin. Heaven. mercy, forbid that, too. But everyone should studv music inst every ono sliold study literature not in order lo become a musician or a poet, but in order to liccome lauiilur with some of the results of tho luziioi lium.li intelligence. To leel the lull power of music and to know its worth, should lie the aim of every cultivated man and woman. There are very few that have not this power within their reach. Crotchets and Quavers.

The next "Soiree Musicale" underthe direc tion of Mr. Theodor Salmon will be given at the Pifsbnrg Female College next Friday evening. On this occasion Miss Blanche Now comb, a tiunil of Joachim, at ltnrtm ....m i her debut before a Pittsburg audience, ilk.3 ! aewcomu comes neraioed as a violinist of I talent and culture. Other artists will assist in a choice programme. A congress is to be held this year at Milan, under the protectorate of the Pope, for the purpose of considering the present state of music in connection with the Catholic Church. Makcilla Sembrich. the great singer, is meeting with remarkable success during her tourne through Russia. Both at Moscow and St. Petersburg the diva ii reported to have created immense enthusiasm. Miss Marie Tempest in "Dorothy" com posed by Alfred Cellier, with whom Y. S. Gilbert was to have collaborated after bis fight with Arthur Sullivan and "Tho Red Hussar." the latest production of Ed. Solomon, brings to Pittsburg this week two of the most successful,. comic operas heard in London during late years. On the 23d ult. at Rome, at the Sala Dante, a rare concert was given by Anstides Franze schctti, aided by several prominent musicians who performed a number of old Hebrew com positions. The concert was preceded by a lec tuie on Hebrew music delivered bytbe Marquis Crino MonaldL theSnusic critic of the JPopolo Romano. " 33R.J. F. Bussjian entertained the "Art Musicale" at his studio last Thursday evening, when an elaborate programme was performed by Miss May Beesley. Mrs J. F. Wilcox. Miss Lizzie Marshall. Miss St. Bauer. Miss Lizzie t-orey. Mrs. Marv R. Scott. Miss Anna Flower, MUM. Benkhert, Mr. Theodor Salmon, Mr. Edward Fownes and Mr. Ross W. Drum. Spanish operatic composers have been dis playing an unwonted activity of late. At the Royal Theater. Madrid, a new opera, entitled, Trafalgar," the libretto by Xavier de Burgos, and the music by Jernnimo Jime nez, was brought out last month and very well received. A similar success was scored at the Liceo, of Barcelona, by a new opera '"Zaura," a Spanish subject ot the ninth century, the composer being Felipe Espino. Again, at Valencia, an opera in three acts, en titled "Sagunto," by Salvador Giner, has just met with a highly favorable reception, the uiiimc being described as highly characteristic and effective. Musical Courier. If the McCaull Opera Company had only shown some little respect for the composer at least, in the "Black Hussar," tho only opera the writer could get to bear, and in which the score was wofully mutilated there would be some reason for praising their perform ance from a musical standpoint. Miss Bertram is certainly tho possessor of a voice and an artistic style which are un happily rare in work of this class. Mr. C. W. Duncan, a new tenor, and Mrs. Laura Joyce Bell also deserve musical credit. But it is an insult to American audiences to assume that practically none of the original music in the third act of tho "Hussar" could be appreciated, but must be displaced for horse play and dumb show. Bt the way, the N ikisch contract will soon be signed by the parties interested, and then Brooklyn will have six concerts directed by a man whose personality is the most interesting of any in the music field, with the possible ex ception of Seidl's. We say Seidl advisedly, for be is one to whom nature has been lavish. He has a rare temperament, dramatic and forceful, a face that is at once Hungarian and Greek, and a grasp of his orchestra which is little short of the marvelous. He has grave shortcomings, but his men like him and his audience woishin him. Seidl is tho man of the hour. Kew York Recorder. Tno Brooklyn contract referred to is, of course, with that city's Phiiharmouic Society, which, like its Isew York namesake, has been left conductor less by Theodore Thomas' engagement for Chicago. What Pittsburg might be enjoying just as well as Detroit is shown by the following ad mirable programme of the latest concert by the Symphony Orchestra, of that Dlace (Rudolph Speil, conductor) which was organ ized by the players thomselves and is now rid ing on the crest of fashionable popularity: Overture Leonore (Fldelio) Beethoven byinpuouy (unfinished)....

The members of the Ebenezer Baptist Church (colored), corner of Colwell and Milton streets, evidently believe in the doc trine of final perseverance, as well as close communion. They had another tilt in court yesterday, which probably gaye the iqs a presentiment of a possibility that not oniy may the first eventually be last and the last first, but in addition that the ins may eventually be outs and the outs ins. The argument was on the exceptions tiled by Attorney, James W. Prescott on behalf of the outs against the amendments the ins asked the Court to make to their charter. During the discussion Judge Collier let it drop that the charter applied for was defec tive, and the outs propose, if possible, to prevent any kind being granted the ins. They labored under the disadvantage on Saturday of having the Sustentation Society arrayed against them, as well as the outs. In addition to the argument that the church, as it would be constituted under its proposed charter, would not have power to hold or sell real estate, or to do several other things, necessary stress was laid by Mr. Prescott on the claim made by him in the bill of exceptions, that advertising must be done and if in a daily paper every day lor three weeks instead of three times only in three weeks. He argued that persons interested could not know on what particular three days they would find an advertisement in a daily paper. Were it a weekly issue the case would be different. As to the Legal Journal Mr. Young contended for the ins that advertising in it was only obligatory in some matters and that application for a cor porate charter was not one of them. It is expected that the next utterance of the Court will show which bodv can plead a prima facie right to call itself Ebenezer. IXOOD SALE.

Rivers at Pittsburg Causes a Wheeling Panic. FIEE AND FLOOD AT PAEKERSBURG The Elvers Are Rising Again in Several Large Towns in Ohio: WATER EECEDIXG AT OTHER POINTS nTICIAL, TZLEOKAM TO TBI SIRFATCK.1 Wheeling, Feb. 21. The water has been falling all day, but very slowly, and for severallhours has been stationary at 33 feet. The hundreds of people on the Island and South 'Wheeling who were driven away and who were prepared to move back are surprised and anxious to-night over the news from Pittsburg and above; that the Alle gheny and Monongabela rivers are rising at all points, and that it is raining at the head waters. Another flood in the Ohio Valley is impending, and the inhabitants are hesi tating whether to move into their homes or await the developments of to-morrow. The Baltimore and Ohio lUilroad re sumed Operations to-day on the Grafton nnd Wheeling Division, and the first trains for four days went out of Wheeling. The Ohio lliver, Panhandle and Cleveland and Pitts burg roads are still demoralized. The greatest damage to railroad property has been suffered by the Ohio Kiver Company, and it will be weeks before the track is in good coudition again. The damages to rail roads alone amount to many thousands of dollars in thisvicinitv. There is much suffering here among the flood victims, though no appeal for outside aid will be inade, as Wheeling is abundantly able to take care of all necessities. The falling waters here now indicate that the railroads have lost a great amount of money in the way ot washed tracks, bridge, em bankments and rolling stock. The Wheel ing and Lake Erie track, extending along the west bank of the river from Martin's Ferry to Steubenville, a distance of 355 miles, is almost a total wreck, and will have to be very largely reconstructed, involving a loss of perhaps 8100,000. The Cleveland and Pittsburg has one washout over 200 feet long, and other smaller ones, and other roads suffer in proportion. The Ohio Kiver road will not be able to move trains until Wednesday next. FIEE AISO AT PAEKEESBUEG. The Flood Slacks Lime, Causing the Burn ing of 13 Itulldings. Pahkeksbtjrg, W. Va., Feb. 21. Last night a disastrous fire broke out in the flood district in the business part of the city. A large quantity of lime soaked by the flood in the warehouse of the W. H. Smith Hard ware Company originated the blaze, which spread until 12 buildings were completely destroyed. Seven small residences, a large livery stable used by Muncy & Mitchell, the warehouses of Thompson & Jackson and C. C. Martin were entirely destroyed. AT MABrXTTA, OHIO. The "Waters Canse Great Inconvenience, bat Are Beceding. rSrKCIAI. TILEGBXM IO TUB DISPATCIM Marietta, O.. Feb., 21. The flood has been a matter of chief concern here for three or four days. The river reached the height of 45 feet, but is now receding rapidly. There has'been little loss to business men or riyer interests. A number of people have been driven to the second floor, but there is no suffering, and the disturbance will be of short dura tion. The water larks eight feet of the height reached in 1884. WATEB EISING AT LIMA. Great Damage Done and Many Families Are Now Moving. rtrrctAi. telegkak to ths dispatch. ' Lima, Feb. 2L The recent rains are raising all the streams in this part of l.he State, and they are higher than they have been since 1883. Great damage has been done, and many families living along the Ottawa river, which passes through the city, were com pelled to move early this morning to places of safety. Flood News in Brief.
