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.

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

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."
