The only way in which onr Government lias been in the habit of officially patron izing music has been in the maintenance of the Marine Sand at "Washington. As an nounced in these colnmns some weeks ago, this hitherto lonely national musical or ganization has secured its first leave of ab Eence for a concert tonr through the crin cipal cities, including Pittsburg. There will be two concerts here on Saturday, May 2. A bit of history may be in place jnst here. The pamphlet prospectus of the tour must bear the responsibility for the facts: The United States Marine Corps, coLSisting of about 2,000 members, was created in 179$ as an adjunct to the Navy, with headquarters in Washington. The Hand of the United States Marine Corps, which Is tbe official title for that organization, dates back to 100 years ago, when IS Italian musicians were enlisted and stationed in the Marine Barracks, in Washington, for general musical service there and at tbe Capitol. Several German members were shortly added, and tbe band met with Yarjicc favor for come time. Some of its earlier leaders were Prof. Carusi, Antonio Pons, who recently died at over SO years of ace; Prof. Trei, who died in tbe service, and Francisco Seals, now retired. Tbe band received no official recognition till 1S36. and the musicians were not classified till a few years later. Then there were three clashes now these have been rednced to two. General Grant was a warm friend of the band, and during his administration the mem bership was increased to 50. This was cut flown in 1S7S to 40 members by Secretary of tbe avy Thompson. Some additions nave since been made, and now tbe national band has nearly 60 members; and tbe bill favorably re ported to tbe House of Representatives a few weeLs since will increase this number to 72 members, besides mating other provisions for the best musical talent. 1 he Marine Band is regularly on duty from S.30 to 12 o'clock every morning at the Marine Barracks, where a pnblic concert is given every Monday. During the summer months concerts are given in tbe White House lawn every Saturday, and when Congress is not in session Wednesday concerts are also given at the Capitol. Besides these regular duties tbe band is subject to summons for all Fresidental enter tainments, inaucural balls, official receptions, lestivities, ceremonies, etc Tbe present director, Mr. John Philip Sotsa, who is tbe seventh in tbe career of tbe band, was appointed ten years ago, under the Hayes administration; and bis great abilities as a con ductor and composer have placed tbe Marina Band in the very front rank of national bands of tbe world, and made it the pride of the Navy Dennrtinent. The members are enlisted as marines, and classed as musicians, and entitled to retirement for old age, or pensions for disabilities received in the service. All have to be subjected to the most rigid physical and musical examination, and mast be over 6 feet 6 inches tall. The strictest discipline is maintained, the members all taking nride in the military character of their organization, and, furthermore, being prompted by tbe kindliest consideration and esteem for their distincuished leader. The band will be accompanied on this tour by Miss Marie Decca, who is known in private life as Miss Johnston, daughter of Judge Sanders Johnston, of Washineton. Miss Dccca is a Marchesi pupil and has achieved success m opera abroad. "This season the has been gaining signal triumphs in ber concert appearances in our Eastern cities. Her quality is well remembered in Pittsburg froni ber former appearance here with tbe Marine Band two rears ago. Pittsburc is to have the last two concerts of this interesting tour, and Mr. G. K. Kepple, tbe local manager, is arranging to make tbe concerts here form a grand finale. A chorus of 300 school children, drilled by E. E. Rinebart, will assist Miss Decca and tbe band in a number of patriotic ongs at tbe matinee. For the even ing Mr. Ripple has coined tbe appellation Grand Presidtntal Concert," and hopes to Justify tbe name by having the programme selected eprcially from the compositions placed at tbe bite House receptions, eta. and by havinc p-ominent citizens join him in invi tations to President Harrison and Secretary Tracy.so bandsomely gotten up and so urgently worded as to induce one or both of these ele vated gentlemen to be present. Whether this be effectual or not, the occasion promises to be exceedingly enjoyable at all events. Gossip From Monlclu Mr. Frank E. Saddler, writing from Munich under date of March 1, contributes tbe follow ing interesting musical gossip: Ferdinand Lancer's long expected and un lucky opera, "Murillo," has been given at last. Its Dm misfortune was to fall into the hands of Fisher, whotnade several large cuts. Then Von Perfall threatened to make more cuts. The rehearsals proceeded on a rather uncer tain basis till Levi finally cut ojt about an hour of flower girls, peddlers and sundry unnecessary and uninteresting things. Then the Archbishop put in a protest against the studio scene in the second act where tbe Holy Mother (merely a model, bow ever,) jumps down from the p'.atfoim and does a fandango to a mandolin accompaniment. Tbe result of this interference was that the model. Instead of appearing in the robes of tbe r acred tharacter, was attired merely as a Span ish maiden. Tbe hirst night" was of course owing to all this notoriety played to a full bouse,and a num ber or very generously inclined people insisted us calling the composer who had personally conducted before the footlights, though they bad to do so amid a storm of biases from those v!io could not conceal their disgust. It is 'without doubt tbe most uninteresting, tiresome and uncaueu-ior opera that the itoyal Theater has been guilty of. Why was it given at allT Well, tbe intendant in Munich,Carl von Perfall, lias in the capacity of composer perDet rated a short opera called "J tinker Heinz." As li tendant be accepted "Murillo" and put it in rehearsal; and Langer. the composi-r of "Murillo," as condnctor of the Mannheim Theater, will, perhaus. see that Junker Heinz" finds a place on the repertoire there. It is a plain case of "one good turn de serves another." Mascagni'a little "Cavalleria Rusticana" Is still a great drawing card, though thoe who go to tce it more tban once(and their name is legion cannot tell J ou why they go, except that tbe music does not sound like tne German school, or tbe French school, or the Italian, but simply liko MascagnL If he can retain the freshness, originality and individuality shown in this opera, in bis future works, his name will shine brighter than Verdi's. For tl.ts month (March), we have two novel ties at the Iloyal "Cid," opera by Cornelius, the writer of the beloved "Barber of Bagdad," and UvtiK oratorio "Heilige Elisabeth."

JCUH) db Svekt; the famotrs violoncellist and composer.died at Ostend within the month. He was wont to perform such nice little feats as playing the entire Mendelssohn and Beeth oven violin concertos upon the Tioloncello. Some wag in Boston is said to have called Vladimir de Pachman a "Choplnsee." He might also have called him a musical guerilla. in view of the irregular tactics with which tbe little Pole trie to ravish bis audiences. OgE of the iamented Karl Men's noble, helpful essays, entitled 'The Sanctity of Music," is issued as a supplement to tbe March Etude. It is good in these degenerate data to come into contact with such high ideals, so suggestively and practically expressed. The Marsellaise Olub celebrates its second anniversary next Thursday evening at Odd Fellows' Hall, Southsids. Miss Jennie Evans, Miss August Gueotber, Mr. G. Gilli, Mr. F. A.

Foertter, of Pittsburg, Presto says very properly; "Mr. Foerster is among the first of American composers. His name to a piece of music is a guarantee of its excellence. 'O. Love of Long Ago.' is a charming ballad, possessing the additional merit of baring original words." The Mendelssohn Club, of the East End, at last Tuesday's concert, sang G, W. Chadwlck's cantata, "Lovely Rosabelle," Bande'gger's Psalm CL, and several part Songs by Caldlcott. Mr. James P. Mcuollnm conducted, Mr. a. Mayer accompanied, and Miss Lizzie Reed, Miss Ella Semple and Mr. C. B. Stelzner con tributed sole numbers. Mr. Sms Reeves, the great English tenor, Is to make his positively last farewell appear ance in May at tbe Albert Hall, London. As this veteran's farewells have been steadily go ing on for nearly a decade, it will be a relief to hear that Sims has simmered down in good faith at last. He intends to devote nimseuto teaching henceforth. Xavxb Scharwexka is said to be contem plating tbo establishment in New York of a counterpart of bis famous Berlin conservatory. It is said that over three-quarters of tbe pro posed guarantee fnnd of 1200,000 has been sub scribed to induce Mr. Scharweuka to spend three or more years iu establishing this end of the intended International Music Institute. A correspondent of the Musical Courier recouutiugbeauteous Teresa Carren's triumphs at St. Petersburg, says: "Rubinstein was in the fiont row at her concerts, and in his en thusiastic fashion bugged and kissed her In sight of the orchestra and public, and as Ru binstein never goes to recitals tbe Sonth American pianist had reason to be proud." What's the matter with Rubinstein's being the one to feel proudf Acme Cockcll No. 219. Jr. O. U. A M., will bold its third anniversary next Thesday even ing at Odd Fellows' Halt, Soutbsldei Mrs. Uenerra Johnstone-Bisbop, of Chicago, who is greatly admired in Pittsburg already, will be the soprano soloist Mr. Howard M. Yost, tbe Cleveland barytone, will make his local debut on this occasion. Mr. Yost has been singing through the West tbe leading parts iu tbe "Messiah," Mendelssohn's "Hymn of Praise." Rubinstein's "Tower of Babel," Berlioz's "Damnation of Faust," and otber works of the first rank, and has won high favor from press and public The Haydn Quartet (male) and Toerge's Orchestra will rodnd o Ut Tuesday evening's attractive programme. Many of the delegates of the national League of Musicians want to be classed as laborers when seeking tbe Supposed assistance of the trades unions, but as artists when seek ing engagements in the permanent sym phony orchestras being organized in Cbioaro and New York. They will be obliged to chose one or the other, however; the two classes don't mix welt. It Speaks Well for the leagnetbat tbe proportion to make a for mal alLance with tbe Federation of Labor was finally voted down. It shows that they aim to be artists sometime, and don't want to be switched off on the labor side track. That is right, and it will be better still when tbe unions realize that the best way to assure engagements for their members is, not by boycott or by ex cluding foreign artists, but by making them selves really worthy of and capable for the en gagements they seek Mr. Ethelbert Wkvin has Said good bye to his native town for an indefinite period. The Wagnerian talk and playing at Mrs HcClin tock's Allegheny residence on Saturday, tbe 21st, and the recital on Monday evening for the organ fund ot Sewickley Presbyterian Cburch(wben Mrs. J.Sharp McDonald assisted) were Mr. Kevin's last appearances here. He expects to sail, with his wife and little son. on May 16. to spend several years in Farisaud at otber centers studying, writing and playing amid the most instrnctive and inspiring sur roundings he can find. It is no mean ambition, no low ideal, that could prescribe tnu course of action to a man wbo ha9 already been tbrougb such an amount of preparatory work and active, professional achievement, both as pianist and as composer. Most men would be quite content to work on along the plane Mr. Nevin has already attained; his zeal for the best and the highest well deserves tbe rich meed of success which a multitude of Pittsburgers hope and expect will ultimately be his. The closing performances of tbe great Ger man Opera enterprise a: tne Metrsnolitan, New York, have been occasions of veritable triumph for the principal artists, and especially for Mr. Anton Seidl, the conductor. Looking ahead only a lew weeks, it awakens most pleasing anticipations for Pittsburg's May Festival, to read the tributes paid to tbe singers we are so soon to hear. This is what the World says of Mme. Mielke's Share in the last "Tristan" per formance: "It was Mme. Mielke's farewell to her American audiences. It goes without saying tba show as given an ovation and one that the distin ;uished singer has woo fairly and sqnarelT. It was said at the closo of last season that we should never find a singer to take LIHi Lebniann's place. But Mme. Mielke has gradually grown to her right proportion, and with her assumption of the role alBrunnhildt, and later of Isold; she conquered everybody by tbe magnificence of her work. No moro thorongb and beautiful success has been won iu New York by any German singer than she." $20 will buy an Elgin, Walfbam and other makes of Amencan stemwinders in 20-year gold filled cases, at M.
