Tbe ilozart Club comes to the front again
with broad and far-reaching plans, calcu
lated to be of rcucB advantage to our musi
cal community, Jithey be realized.
At last Monday's rehearsal it was an
nounced that a wealthy friend and patron
o' the club had signified his desire to pre
sent it with a pipe organ, practically
equivalent in size and quality to the
fint instrument in Carnegie Hall,
Allegheny. The enterprising managers
of the club have tor some time
been endeavoring to obtain from the city
fathers a long-term lease 10 or 15 years
a" Old City Hail, and it is tneir intention, if
the lease is given, to remodel the old audi
torium completely. The exits will be in
created aud improved a most desirable
feature; me rear half of the hall will be fitted
uith movable platforms by which the scats
Bill rue in tii-rs; the gallery will be ex
tended around the Maes and improved; the
sl3ge ivll he altered into better perninneut
share lor conceit purposes and the new, big
organ built in at the back, and the whole
hall reset C'i, seated and fitted up as a first
cla auditorium should be
Here is j chance for Pittsburg to begin
next season with a convenient and suitable
concert fcal!, seating 1,500 or 1,600 people,
or more on a pinch just the thing we have
so sadly neeued tor years. The importance
cf this reea in our musical life is such as to
Rive everv reason to ail music-lovers to exert
their inllueuce, if there were need for it, in
order to .isure the granting of the lease by
theinuniciual authorities.
la that lull will be accommodation for
all manner of high-class musical aud other
assemblages that now seek in vain for suit
able quarters and are bunted and discour
aged for lack of Ihem. The presence of a com
plete concert organ will give opportunity for
ihe organ recitals (and the practice instru
ment, too) for which so strong a need has
existed and have proved such a popular
boon in Alleghenv, even without the patron
age and overseeing of such a bodv as the
Slozurt Club.
About the first of April the club will
move into its new headquarters in the Ho
telter block on Fourth avenue. There it
will have a rehearsal room holding 300 or
more pertous, besides half a dozen rooms
for teaching purposes, etc., several of which
liave been already bespoken. Here the
dob will at last be in a position to carrv
out its broad plans for series of lectures on
musical topics and free tuition, which were
noted at length in this department
some time ago. It is also in
contemplation to publish from that
headquarters a monthly musical
journal, to 1 the official organ of the club
end to include the librettos for its own con
cern and the programme of the organ re
citals therehy saving present expenses and
ancreasing the circulation of the proposed
paper. The rehearsal room will also, it is
expected, seive as a hail for recital pur
poses. Altogether the managers of the Mozart
Club propose 1o make their new rooms a
Teritable head center of active musical in
fluence along the most varied and useful
lines, while their hoped-for permanent con
cert hall and its grand organ are to fur
nish opportunities for the larger musical
enterprises that should be the fruit of such
influence'.
The plan are laid; the workers are
thoroughly in ei'nesL The greater Dart
of the money at fi et needed is already in
tight. It remains for the general musical
jmblic. by their support and patronage of
what has already long been Pittsburg's fore
most musical organization, to assure and
make permanently successful these admir
ably framed plans for advancing the corn-
rush just beginning. With a now director, a
new female chorus and a newly picked orches
tra, their veteran male chorus seems to bo re
newing its youth for this Urst public appear
ance in several years.
Me. Hbrt M. Mays, the baritone, whoso
incipient faino while a former resident of Pitts
burg has been largely extended by his success
as a church and concert singer in Philadelphia
during the last year or two, has been brought
back here by the mutations of business, ana
his rich voice will once more be beard in the
laud of iron and steel. .
Two of Now York's leading musical weeklies
have lately printed likenesses of Antonia
Mlelke, of the Metropolitan Opera House, who
is to be a prime attraction at Pittsburg's May
Festival. The Courier says of her: "Mrs.
Miclke's work during the season has been ad
mirable, distinguished for mnslcal sincerity
f anU dramatic force."
It is stated that Mr. Ad. M. Foerster's sym
phonic poem, "Thusnelda," is to be given by
CarlVenth in Brooklyn on the 31th inst.; that
his string trio is to be played at Eastern, Fa.,
early next month, and that Mr. Seidl is going
to open our May Festival appropriately with a
new Festival March" from the pen of Pitts
burg's w ell-known composer.
Mbs. J, E. Porter, the well-known soprano,
will close her ten years of musical activity in
this community with her appearance next Sat
urday afternoon at the free organ recital In
Carnecie Hall. Allecheny. Mrs. Pcrter ex
pects to leave next week to join her husband,
who has located at Roanoke, Va. Many friends
and admirers will sincerely regret her de
parture. Managers Hesricks and Webster an
nounce the postponement from the 10th to the
"ith inst. of the next concert o( the Star Course
at Carnecie Hall. Miss May Beesley will sing;
the other performers have not yet been
definitely decided upon. The last concert of
the course, which was to come in April, has
been abandoned and holders of season tickets
will have a proportional part of the price re
funded to them on application.
AT the meeting of the Art Mnsicale in Mr.
P. J. Bussman's studio last Thursday evening
the programme was carried out by Miss Mamie
Iteuck, Miss E. Lewis, Miss N. Becker, Miss
Frankie McCreerv, Miss E. Oehmlcr. Miss
Mary lSankcrd. Messrs. F. J. Bussman, Leo

Liixi Lehjiann is to get 600 florins a night
for singing six times at the Vienna Court Opera
Houe. This is said to be the largest fee ever
paid to an artist there; Lilli got twice as much
in Now York. Then they say that Jean do
Heszke is to nave $1,000 a night during the Lon
don opera season one of the biggest figures
ever paid there lor a tenor and this is to bo
increased by Mr. Abbey for his services at the
Metropolitan. New York, next season. Truly
the English-speaking lands are the singers Er
Dorado.
At the fourth Peabody Symphony concert,
given at Baltimore last night, was given the
first performance of a new symphonic poem, by
Mr. Richard Bnrmeister. of that city. It is en
titled "The Chase After Fortune" Die Jagd
nachdaa Glueck), and is said to have been in
spired by Henneberg's well-known painting of
the same title. Presumably Mr. Burmeister's
musical translation of the color poem differs
widely from that made by Franz von Suppe in
nis operetta or tne same title, known to Amerr
can audiences as Clover."

February 10 this announcement is made:
"Theodore Reicbmann will be back in Vienna
in April, when he will give a grand concert
with orchestra in the great Musikverein's hall.
The artist will be heard in excerpts from 'The
Flying Dutchman,' 'Hans Heiling,' 'Vampyre,'
'Meistersioger' and Valkure."' lion's this,

Tiik Pittsburo Dispatch, which, by the
-way. is pne of the leading newspapers of the
State, devotes from two to three columns to
matters of interest to musicians every Sunday.
Philadelphi 's leading papers do well if they
devot half a column to the events in
the world ol music The comparison is
anything but complimentary to Phila
oelphia. ' Ihis, from the Philadelphia
Jf ustc and Di ama, is a jfenerons comparison,
but it mm. be remembered tha Pittsburg does
not, lik the Eastern metropolis, possess several
good musical monthlies and suh a bright
weekly to supply the sanu dem.nd. Acknowl
edgment is also due to Cbicagoi leading musi
cal paper, the Indicator for its kindly refer
ence last week to the "well-written musical de
partment" of this journal.
Coxstantin Sternberg, is coming out to
this neck ot the woods at last. That this is good
news the regular reader will already know from
past reference in these columns to this excel
lent pianist, composer, essayist and teacher.
who is said to be a prince of good fellows to
boot, and who certainly constitutes one
wideawake element in Philadelphia's re
cent musical existence. Mr. Joseph
H. Gittings, of course, brings him here, and
for this recital.to be given next Friday evening
at Old City Hall, has set an absolutely popular
price for everybody and half as little fur musi
cal students. Mr. Sternberg's programme is
uniquely eclectic He divides" it into four
classes. The "Classic"' conies hrst with Cluck
(in Saint-Saens' version) and Scarlatti; then
the "Romantic." with characteristic works of
Chopin, Jensen and Schumann; next the "Con
temporary" division, represented by Rbein
bqrger. Nicode, Blumenschein (the former
Pittsburger. now of Dayton) and Sternberg
himself ; lastly the "Popular"' class, in which
Mr. Sternberg properly, but courageously,
racks one of Liszt's Rhapsodies, and which he
winds up with what he terms "Humorous
Sketches" of his onn, being, it is said, an ex
cruciatingly funny olla pediida o musical
pranks and jests, verbal and pianistic
Chief Murphy Has the Call as Old Pnbllo
.Safety A Conncilman Gives His Reasons
"VThy Ho Should Be Elected.
The contest for chiefs of the different de
partments of the new city government of
Allegheny will be settled to-morrow. It
has been a warm one, and at its close can
virtually be said to be settled in the inter
est of John E. Murphy for Chief of Publio
Safety. In speaking of the matter last night
a prominent member ot Allegheny Councils
said: "It is about oyer, and I am glad of
it At the beginning of the contest I was
opposed to Chief Murphy, but have every
reason now to change my'mind, and am for
him and believe he will be elected. The
publication of that article last week made
him hosts of friends. His manly confes
sion of a youthful indiscretion, and saying
to the people of Allecheny I stand upon
my record with you for the last 20 years.
K yon are not satisfied with that, then do
not elect me. But if you think my services
have been such aa to entitle me to your
confidence, then I have every right
to appeal to yon for your support.
Take Murphy as he is, and I tell you he
deserves a great deal of credit for the record
he has made in every public position in
which he has been placed. He was born
and raised in Allegheny, and his mother
and sister are still living here. Called to
fill the position of Chief of Police under
Mayor Wyman, the first time he ran, and
filling it with a great deal of ability, and
then under ex-Mayor Pearson, assuming a
subordinate position and filling that to the
satisfaction of Mayor Pearson and his chief,
ana witn so much ability that at the great
Knights Templar gathering at "Washington
he was selected by tne Allegheny command
eries to accompany them as a guard against
thieves and pickpockets. Three years ago
he was appointed to the position of mercan
tile appraiser of the county, and filled the
bill to the complete satisfaction of the com
missioners. When Mayor Wyman was re
elected he reappointed Murphy as Chief,
and he certainly has done his full duty. He
has cleared the city of thieves, so much so
that, excepting petty thieving generally
done by small boys, a robbery of auy kind
is rarely heard of. Now, that is his record,
and it is known to every citizen of Alle
gheny, and should he be elected Chief of
Public Safety, which I believe he will be,
you mark me if his administration of the
affairs of the office will not be of such a
character as to call forth the hearty com
mendation of even those who nowoppose
him. Why don't he come back at the peo
ple who are yillifying him? Well,
I asked him that, and he de
clined on the ground that while he
had any amount of ammunition to fire at
them, he did not believe in fighting a cam
paign in that way; that if whatainandid
when he was a boy were to De conn ted
against us all now, I tell you we would all
hide our heads. I know of my own knowl
edge that he has information which, if pub
Ished on some of his opponents, would
create a decided sensation; hut when he
gave me his reason, I was compelled to ad
mit that it was the manlv way in which to
be a candidate for office. They have said
their worst about him, and he admits the
New Year's eve frolic, but the charges
against him have falien so flat that I know
myself of at least three votes who havn
changed to him on account of it. Bo you
remember the manner in which Hartranft
was villified when he first ran for Gov
ernor, aud how he was beaten until the abuse
became worse, when tne reaction set in and
he was triumpl antlv elected? So it will be
with Murphy. If the voters o. Allegheny
had their way in making this selection he
would be chosen by a vote of ten to one,
for Murphy never, when he was able, refused
to do a man a favor and those who know
him best are his closest friends. Allegheny
uouncumen Will maKe no mistake and
never have occasion to regret it by electing
him to-morrow night. He has the executive
ability and in addition is well known at all
the prominent police headquarters in the
country, and it will be a great benefit to the
city to have him in the position. I am for
him and will do all I can."
WIXI. HAVE A NEW CHITECH.
CoraopolU Presbyterians Outgrow Their
Old Meeting House.
Presbyterianism is flourishing in Cora
opohs. Some years ago Miss Sarah Mc
Fadden decided that Forest Grove was too
far away from Coraopolis, and after a great
deal of hustling from Presbytery to Synod
and back again, and giving no rest to the
Bole of her feet for many months, she suc
ceeded in securing ground and constructing
an edifice. She got a part, or perhaps all of
the pews, out ot Dr. Strong's church, on
Smithfield street. Some thought the
church ample for all time, bnt the energy of
Calyin's followers has dissipated that idea,
and Key. Mr. Cochran will likely soon
preside in a new and larger sanctuary.
J. H. McCabe, Sr., has enlarged his dona
tion of land, and plans have been made for
a $14,000 structure, 58,000 of which have
already been subscribed, and the remainder
is expected to be procured soon. The present
building will be moved to the rear, and
while the new structure is building will be
used for services, after which it is proposed
to convert it into aschoolhouseor some other
purpose for congregational uses.
