THE PROPOSED SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA.
IVojnamme at the Exposition and a BnJjjet l General
Mesoflntcrcst.
The lively discussion evoked by the article
in tins department some weeks ago, about
local orpan music in general and the free
organ recitals a' Carnegie Hall in particular
wandered considerably from the original
text. The position of those ivho desire to
fee Mr. Carnesie's gift and the people's
nionev ued for the people's best advantage
and truest enjoyment has been misunder
stood in various important points.
The gist of the whole matter is simply
ibis: Although more fine, new organs are
being built here than ever before, and al
though churches are growing more liberal
towards the musical part of their services,
tbe standards of organ playing remain
mournfully low and crude. There is little
opportunity to hear good organ music in
church, and practically none at all outside.
AVc have not one musician making organ
playing and teaching his specialty. In
short, the king ol instruments is treated
vith neglect and indifference as an alto
gether sccondarv matter for which almost
any kind of treatment is good enough.
Here is the great need which Mr. Car
negie's gift of a concert hall and organ and
Allegheny City's creation of the office of
City Organist ought to co far toward meet
ing. There was and still is the opportunity
for bringing here an organ specialist ot
high quality who will, both by precept and
example, help mightily to raise the general
ptandards of organ playitiK among us, while
he nt the same time furnishes the audiences
at the free recitals an entertainment more
truly enjoyable than ever and of the kind
proper to the instrument.
.
The Example or Mr. Phippj' Girt,
To illustrate this position: TThen Sir
riilpps presented the conservatory to Alle--
gueny the right policy was pursued in plac
ing it under the control of a specialist, one
whose life work was in that line, and he was
authorized to go ahead and make that con
servatory as complete and fine an institu
tion of its particular class as he could We
happened to have the right man here; but if
we had not it would have been manifest
folly to have installed some local amateur
gatdener in the place and expect him at the
same time to develop bis own abilities and
build up a conservatory which
would be either creditable to tho
city or anvthing liko as enjoyable to
the people or would it be right to limit Su
perintendent Hamilton to ralslneonly such
iiowers ana plants as tne
neonlG nlrendv
have in their front yards, and have thereby
iearnea to use rne object or such a con
servatory is to provide for the people tho
j vc ry plants they do not have other opportu
nities of seeing, bnt which they do like and
enloy once the opportunity is presented.
It is precisely so with the free organ re
citals. Their true object is to furnish the
peoplo with that particular kind of musical
enjoyment which the organ is best
fitted to convey. Music appropri
ate to the organ played in the true
organ style forms the one essential element;
otherwise the term "organ recStal" is wholly
misapplied and the money given and ap
propriated for such recitals is wholly
misspent. Anytning else would oe llKe de
voting the Phipps conservatory to birds or
beasts or fishes very interesting and popu
lar objects, in much the same line as the
plants, but none of which could properly be
made the chief object of a conservatory.
What the People Enjoy.
It should bo understood above all though
this point has been persistently mis
conceived in the discussion that the
kind of organ recitals now advocated
will be more lirat tllr and truly cnioyed by
the people at large than the species of enter
tainment that ha thus far masqueraded
under that title The legitimate liter iture
of the modem orcan abounds in composi
tions that the people can and do enjov
whenever they cct h chance to hear them
well plajeJ Throughout England and
France and elsewhere organ recitals of tbe
class referred to often jriven free are a.
prime sourco of popular musical enjoyment.
Whoever the Allegheny City Organist may
be, it is his paramount duty to search out
jnstsuch compositions appropriate for the
organ as will he appreciated and enjoved by
his popular audience and then to play them
. in the true organ style and with the utmost
effectiveness.
That will satisfy and please everyone,
surely. And it can bo done here, as it is
beinc done eUen here. But it absolutely re
quires an organ specialist to do this: it can
not possibly be done as it should be bv any
one whose principal occupation and inter
ests lie in other directions
There is no such organ specialist here, as
is well known But, as has already been
said in this column, "the nost of citv organ
ist, with a snlnryof $1230 a year the orig
inal fijrure, and none too larze for the right
man and with the exceptional Held for
teaching and church playing, is ample bait
to draw hither a professional organist of
high quality " It -was not at all expected
that an oi?nintt of w ide experience and long
established repntation could be drawn here
bj e en a better offer than this. Some young
man, of proper training and hijrh talents,
who would have his reputation vet to make
. is as much ase could fairly expect.
The Inducement Is umcicnt.
But it so happens that the above-quoted
declaration has been borne out bv facts
quite beyond expectation. A certain pro
fessional organist of high repute, who has
long been known to well-informed persons
ns one of the best legitima'e organists in
this countrv, was w ut ten to bv a local
niend of the cause to recommend some
pupil or acquaintance of his suitable for the
position His repli contains a very distinct
intimation that hew ould be w illing to take
the place himseir, his 1 en son bcmir that in
the tield in which ho has so long and t-o lion
orablj labored he has been so overworked
that he would like to find a lighter task c en
though much lcs lcuiunerallve.
Here, then, is the opportunity complete,
-uitlin bettet nianalreaur in sight for the
place than could liii e betn expected. While,
the original ligme of the city organist's
t- ilai v Inn. been leduced to $G00and perhaps
could not be re-tored until the next fiscal
near, there ought to be no hesitation on
ilie part of Allegheny councilmen in aim
ing the nppropiiation next spring of $1,300 a
j cir lot such an onanist, rortheintenen-
doubt, be eaMly obtained to make up tho !
declared himself ready to subscribe $50 a
jiar to secure the oicanisti-ofcncd to above
It is to be hoped that all will work to
gether toward a consummation so deoutly
tobe wished.
.
The I'rnposnl Permanent Orchestra.
After 'he full presentation last Sunday of
tho proposal for founding a permanent
tymphonj orchestra in rittsburg under the
lead of Mr. Homci Moore, there is little left
to be -aid upon that topic this week.
It is too early to expect definite results
from the mutation ora matter of such mag
nitude But it cin truthfully be said that
the protect is being seriously considered in
She circles from which the initiative miibt
come toi an public enterprise requiring
laiyo financial support.
llourtui, while the money question will
firt haK to in- answered bv the lew. Micro
remains ur the mimj who tiro interested in
musical matters, the duty and privilege of
tulking about it, suggesting possible im
pro cments and in other modes personally
helping along a project that promises so
largely lor Pittsburg's musical progress. It
isevrjbodj'satlainlet each do what he
can to advance the good cause!

S vopsis The grand climax of which Slepfrifd's
death forms a part. Is one of the most wonderful
specimens of Wagner's originality. After tho
treaehcrr of Unsm. which ends in AVtffri"f
murder, ills companions raise him on Ills shield,
and lu a sorrow ful procession bear him back to
the ball of the SilieUmoen. At the representation
atBayreuth. this i as the most impressive scene
in the trllogv. El enlng crept on as the drama
mm ed ton ard the catastrophe. The shadow fell
upon the valid. The mist rose slowly from the
mer. The warriors lifted the body of Siegfried
on their shoulder and bore him sorrowfully
across the hills. Thin vapors overspread the
scene as thc toiled up the steep. Tho whole
landscape was graduall) hidden, but still, as the
Imposing strains ofthe march issued from the In
alsible orchestra, the forms of armed men were
clliulr seen through the ubcnrltv of fog aud
night, mounting upward with ihclr burden.

The I.uttcman Swedish Sextet (male
voices) will give two concerts, mainly of
Swedish compositions, at Old City Hall on
the 29th and 30th of this month.
Fhahz Hummel, who has spent the summer
quietly stndving, will be heard this season
in orchestral concerts, historical piano re
citals ana cnamDer music soirees.
Mrs. Cosiwa. IAaoser has presented to
each of the 8.W performers in the Bayrcuth
Festival an edition deluxe of tho "Parsifal"
and "Tannhauser" text books as a souvenir.
Miss Mat Beeslet, whose European
record as the pupil of Mrs. von Alosleben
has been made known in this city, and
w hose local record as a cotoratur soprano is
better known, has now enrolled herself
among our corps of vocal teachers.
Mr. Sam M. Brown hns been appointed
organist of tho Shadyside Presbyterian
Church and will have charge of the quartet
choir, of which, thus far, only tho soprano,
Miss Zettn Stewart, and the contralto, Miss
Margaret P. Fraser, have been engaged.
Perhaps a quartet for three stringed in
struments with piano does not belong to the
same "branch or composition" as a quartet
for strings only; and then, again, perhaps it
does. It may bo on a diffeicnt twig, but most
people would say it is on the same branch.
Tns novelties to be given during the
coming season at theOpera Ccmique, Paris,
under the direction of Carvalho, are Berlioz's
"Troyenne," Chappuis' "Engnerrande,"
Poise's "Carmosine," Mascagni's "Cavallerla
Bnsticana," Delibe's "Kassya," and Mas
senet's "Manon."
The Gondola Band at Venice is a great
success. The boat goes through the princi
pal canals, followed by a number of small
attendant gondolas bearing lanterns, and it
is said that tho scene and the soft mnslo
have a "ravishine effect" on the dwellers in
the city of the Adriatic ,
It was a particularly artistic and interest
ing programme that was given by Mr, Theo
dor Salmon, assisted by Miss Kaderly, Jliss
Bankard, Messrs. Brockett, Strotiss and
Maeder, on the occasion of the organ open
ine at Westminster Presbyterian Church,
Allegheny, last Friday evening.
Mr. Leo OEmti-En extends Pittsburg's
musical influence by a weekly trip to Greens
burg, as violin teacher at the academy there,
and also by an occasional excursion into
rirint, like the thoughtful hints for memor
zinc that appear over his signature in the
last issue of the Philadelphia Etude.
All the rest of the musical world has
familiarly Known and loved "Lohengrin"
for a whole generation, but tho Parisian
critics on their first hearing last weekoracu
larly declared that tho second act is too
Jonjr. This is indeed crushing far worso, in
more senses than one, than the howls of the
outside mob.
The engagement of Antonin Dvorak as di
rector of the National Conservatory of
Music, New York, is a bright feather in the
oop of plucky Mrs. Thuiber, and a trulv
great acquisition to America's musical
forces. Dvorak is recognized beyond con
troversy as one of the half dozen greatest
composers alive.
New York Truth speaks of Tansiir as "the
greatest pianist that ever lived, being the
master of our peerless Joseffy.,, Further along
In the same article Joseffy is placed "on a
pedestal that towers above all llvinj? ar
tists." These two sections of Truth might
well be held to be unconstitutional for not
being Included In the title of the paper.
Mascagm has recently finished a grand
opera entitled "L'Aini Fritz." The au
thorities ofthe Vienna Opera House refused
it because they were asked to pay a certain
sum down and 8 per cent of the gross re
ceipts. So the first production of "L'Ami
Fritz" has been secured by the intendant of
the Berlin Opera.
Tresidest Carter gives assurance that the
long-delayed report of the second annual
meettns of the Pennsylvania State Music
Teachers' Association will be issued this
week. The volume will contain matter of
much interest to musical folk and will be
the opening gun in tho strong campaign
thatmnstnow be waged preparatory to the
third meeting to be held in Pittsburg in tbe
closing week of this year.
TnE genial "raconteur," of the Musical
Courier, reappeared last week with one of
his inimitable, chatty reviews, devoted this
time to "CAvallena Rusticana," This is a
sample of Brother Huncker's views on the
new little opera.whose vogue ho cleverly par
allels with that of the short story in current
literature: "Mnscagni has dramatic gifts of
the highest order, associated with, as is the
case with talented Italians, an exposition ot
these gifts which is not always on a par with
their inspiration. In other words, ho can be
very slipshod, almost vulgar at times, and
afterward rise to great drama tip heights.

and with the audacity of his talents
keep yon at a fever heat of climax and ex
pectation. The voung man who can do tins
in our blase musical age must have excep
tional stuff iu him, and that Mascagnt un
questionably has; but there is much dross to
be sifted out. Besides, the penumbra cast
bv other men's ideas is still strong on nia
work. But the best thing about tbe fellow
is that he l-nowihow. He writes like a devil
chased by 50 other of his horned brethren,
nnd it is this fiery temperament always at
full steam that stirs our nerves, makes
goose flesh on vour InmDar region (and tim

A MERCHANT'S TESTIMONY.
Mr. J. A Byecs, ofthe firm of James Bvers
& Son, prominent meichants at West Mid
dlesex, Pa., writes for publication:
"lam very glad to state v hat has been
done for mo by the physicians of the Catarrh
and Dyspepsia Institute, 323 Penn avenue,
Pittsburg, Pa.
"Mv ti ouble began about four years ago.
I had dull pain over my eyes ringing in my
ears, dropping of mucus into my throat,
hawking and spitting. My throat often felt
dry and sore. In the morning my head and
nose were filled with mucus. It was with
great effort that I could expel it, and it
J. A. Byers, West Middlesex, Pa.
would bo followed by discharges of blood.
My eyes were inflamed and at times very
nenk. My kidneys troubled me. I had pain
and weakness in my hack, and the urino had
a brick dust sediment. I could get no re
freshing sleep. I fel t -v ery til ed in the morn
ing, with no ambition for business. I took
cold easUy and my condition grow worse,
until a cough set in.
"As I felt soreness in my lungs I became
alarmed and feared unless I soon obtained
help I would go into consumption. Nothing
I had tried did me any good. I read in. tbe
papers so many testimonials from patients
who had been cured by the physicians of the
Catarrh and Dyspepsia Institute I wrote
them for their question blank. They wrote
me I could yet be cured. I found their
terms reasonable and decided they under
stood my case. After two months' home
treatment I became cured.
"I gladly lecommond thee specialists as
thorough, competent physicians in the treat
ment and cure ofthe disease of their spe
cialty. Very trulv yours,

WHAT ARE YOU TO DETERMINED
We blame no one for being partial to what they own, but have you not thought that the way for a merchant
to sell goods is to have them and say nothing about them that can't be fully substantiated ? We tell you plainly
that there is most to be seen at our store; that our facilities are better than the average; that our qualities are sure
to be right because we tolerate nothing below the best; that our prices are uniformly lowest. Hardly possible to
put it any plainer, eh?
Thousands of the Readers of This Paper
Are waiting to hear what we have to say to-day. Not all we know about Furniture and Carpets we know so
much that to tell all would take much space, and newspaper space is costly. But we will tell within reasonable
limits all you care to know. First of all comes the fact that our stock is splendid and vast in every sense. There
is certainly nothing like it in any other store in this city. Secondly corner the pleasing fact that people can buy
here for much less money, much finer goods, than from any other house. 1 hirdly comes the welcome news that
anything in our store can be purchased either for cash or on our popular easy purchase plan.
The merchant has, of course, it all his own way in advertising, but if he seeks to attain permanent success his
statements that go to make up his advertisements must be void of flowery assertions and untruths. For this very
reason we extend, herewith a simple invitation to every reader of these lines to
COME! AND SEE FOR THEMSELVES.
The world of merchandise in the way of Household Furniture and Carpets is here. Purchased by us to interest
you to sell, but not to give away. You shall have everything at the lowest possible market price that's our con
tract with you and we'll live up to it.
A BOON TO OUR EXPOSITION VISITORS! .
After a mature consideration 'we have concluded that we cannot more deeply impress our business career upon
the minds of Exposition visitors, nor leave i. deeper or more lasting sense of obligation m the minds of our many
friends, than by offering our entire exhibit at prices so much below cost that there must necessarily be an appre
ciation for other than a shopwindow display and a ball of popcorn; there should be an inducement for housewives
to examine and price critically all articles displayed, and by this sacrifice we expect to make such an impression on
the public that our reputation will be everlasting.
Be sure and call at our store or write for the rules governing our grand prize competition. Everyone has the
same chance to get the $60 prize.
