Trogramme for the Meeting of the
Teachers' Association.
ITS A MATTER OP LOCAL PRIDE.
Epohr's Oratorio, The Last Judgment, at
Calvary Church, E. .
A MCE BUDGET OF GT5SEEAL KEWS
The third annual meeting of the Pennsyl
Tania State Music Teachers Association,
December 29, 50 and 31, is to be accounted
one of the most important events if not
the most important ot the local season.
The meeting comes hither on Pittsburg's
invitation, and is Pittsburg's meeting,
though the present lack of a suitable hall
with an organ on this side of the river has
caused Carnegie Hall, Allegheny, to be
nelected for the purpose. Perhaps, since
Allegheny's city lathers have generously
permitted the free use of the hall, it ought
to be called Allegheny's meeting, too.
Nearlv all the general officers of the asso
ciation this year are local men. Omitting
the long list of vice presidents, one from
each countr, the officers are: President,
Charles Davis Carter; Secretary and Treas
urer, Ad. . M. Foerster: Executive
Committee, Joseph H. Gittings (Chair
man), Charles C. Mellor aid .lames
P. McCollum: Programme Comout
tee, Carl Better (Chairman), Dr. Hugh L
Clarke, of Philadelnhia, and Albert E.
Berg, of Keading. Kcarly all of these men
have been very actively at trork for a month
or two, and have now got the plans for the
meeting into excellent shape.
Bv Monday evening, December 2S, many
of the non-resident members will have ar
rived. They have been invited bv the
Mozart Clnb" to attend the "Messiah" per
formance that evening and to be the guests
of honor in asocial reception at the club's
new rooms after the concert. The regular
fessions of the association will begin Tues
day moraine:. There will be three each day;
at 9:30, essays, discussion and business; at
2, a single essav, followed by instrumental
or vocal recitals; at 8, a miscellaneous con

Triumph of Fonrtn-Yar-Olds.
The playing of the Austrian Juvenile Band
at the Auditorium last week does not call for
a very extended, analytical review, but it
does compel the warmest kind of
recognition of its astonishing excellence.
Astonishing, only because the aver
age age of those to boys is
but a trifle ovei 14 j ear; nothing but the
knowledge of that fact could convince a
blind listener that lie v, as bearing anything
but a band of niatuie artists and of like
oualitv with the famous body led by Jlr.
Patrick Sarsfleld Gilmore.
Tnis is litch praise, but penned with delib

mechanical excellence, the Doys snowed a
spirit, a vim and freshness throughout their
work that was positively delishtfuL The

An Old Pittsburg Musician.
The death of Henrv Rohbock last Th org
day terminated a long and honorablecareer
which bad been identified with that which
was best in Pittsburg's musical life for well
nigh half a century. He was a musical
pioneer, the first really good pianoforte
te acher and organist to locate in this com
munity. The following sketch of his lile is
an abridgement of that printed in this de
partment August 2S, 18S7:
Henry Eohbock was born at Gotha, May 8,
1815, and was Intended by his parents for the
pulpit. He was more drawn toward the
organ loft, however, by his natural talent
for mo sic, whicn was largely fostered by his
Intimacy at the musical home of the Prens
sings, where he used to meet amd hear Lud
wigSpohr, who subsequently married one
of the family Toung Kohbock's studies in
music were guided by Eccarius and bv Gott
lieb Mueller, the famous organist. Alter a
year's concertizing in Germany the 19-year-old
lad came to America in 1SJ4, mak
ing Baltimoie his headquarters, and
going on concert tours through the principal
cities. It was during his first year in
Baltimore that Mr. Rohbock vanquished
Louis Major, a French pianist of note, who
had challenged him to a public contest of
three evenlnsrs. The first evening was de
voted wholly to extempore play, the test be
ing, apparently, the leneth of time each
could keep it up. Major held out for 15 min
utes. Rohbock kept at it for 45 minutes, and
t-o skillfully that the great audience broke
out Into "Bravos!" The next morning Major
bad left town without waiting for more.
This contest was much talked about In the
newspapers all over the country.
After spending slxyears at the head of the
musical department of Patapsco Institute,
near lUItluiorc. Mr. Rohbock located in 186
In Pittsburg, where he at onco took first
place both as executant and instructor. He
played with the famous Seguin Quartet at
old Drurv Theater; was well acquainted
Mth Tha'lberg; entertained at his home
Henri Herz, the most admired pianist of his
day, and Sivori, the noted violinist, when
thev spent a fortnight In Pittsburg, and he
Accompanied Kuopp, the eminent 'cellist,
horn he bad known at Meiningen. For ten
venrs he had charge of the musical depart
ment of tho then recently established
Pittibnrg Female College. Among bis
more prominent pupils may be named
Mi. Charles a Millor, Mrs. Annie Mciior
Hieiband the Eversons, father and sons.
.Mr. Kohboct about IMG became organist or
he Third Presbyterian Church, then at
Ferry and Third streets: many 5 ears later
he w as tho first organist in the now building
of the same congregation, on Sixth avenue.
He was lor some years organist of old Trin
ity, where he was driven from the bench
one Sunday evening by the burning of the
edifice. When Christ M. E. church was
built he was the organist for the first ten
years. He also play od at St. Andrew's for
tome time about a decade ago, this being the
last position that he filled.
With tho sorrow or the large family circle
left to mourn Mr. Boh bock's death. Is
mingled the sympathy of the larger circle of
pupils and friends and the grateful re
membrance of all interested In the musical
welfare of this community, to the founda
tions of wnloh he contributed so largely.

Musical Service nt Calvary Church.
In the very interesting musical service to
be given at 3 o'clock this afternoon at
Calvary Church, East End, the Btngtralt
Choir will be assisted by Miss Bertha M.
Eaderly, soprano: Miss Bertha C. Bonahan,
contralto; Mr. Harry B. Brockett, Jr., tenor
Mr. Edwin S. Fownes, bass; Miss Adele Boa
hard, organist, and the Gcrnert Orchestra.
Besides tho usual cantlcies of evening
prayer, Spohr's oratorio, "The Last Judg
ment," will bo snng. Apropos or this occa
sion the Parish Advocate a paper edited by
the rector. Rev. George Hodires,for his flock,
recently said:
The music Is especially fitting for the day. We be
lieve tliat we have the nest music In Calvary Church
that can be heard vanywhere in Pittsburg. We be
lieve in music In thu parieli. We had Haydn's
Imperial Mass sung here on July 12, and we hope
to nave a mass of Mozart or Beethoven's on the
Sunday alter Chrl6tmas. Everybody who heard
the beautiful, uplifting, celestial music of that July
mass wanted more like it. I woula be glad, also,
to work in some Moody and Sankev hymns, if I
knew Jut the best place for them. We believe In
music. We believe in the Gospel as Haydn and
Handel, and Moodv and fcankey preach it. And
we all want the good gospel music we can have.
And so I accepted Mr. itingwalfs 'offer gladly. I
would like to nave a popular musle service, with
an orchestra, in Calvary Church every bnnday
afternoon, and very likely we would, If we had the
money. This service will cost the leader some-
uiing. it is nopeu mat me congregation wiu re
member this at the offertory.
What a millennium of church muslo we
would have If all pastors shared Mr.
Hodges' feelings. For his attitude toward
the art divine is clearly most favorable,
though further experience with the kind ot
tunes commonly known as "Gospel Hymns"
would leave him certain that Just
the best place for them is just the
sort of big revival meetings among
the lower classes lor which they
were written. They appeal to the lower in
stincts and are properly of use only in what
may be called the church's guerilla warfare
upon the masses. The drum and tambour
ine of tho Salvation Army would be very
nearly as proper a means of grace to an or.
derly, sell-respecting congregation as the
"Gospel Hymns."
With some snch qualification as this, Mr.
Hodges' views, as above set forth, are to be
warmly commended for general ecclesiasti
cal adoption.

The exceedingly small audience present

that a community like Pittsburg cannot be

perfect good faith toward the great, un
thinking public, use the words "orchestra"
or "symphony" in Its title; much less so,
when that title Is artfully worded and dis
played in type so as to be confounded with
the name honestly made famous by another
organization. Honesty Is the best policy,

TVAsimfGTOir, Nov. 2a The Congress
which meets in a few days is full of poer
men. Pour-fifths of the newly elected
members have nothing bat their salaries
and the semi-Alliance men were chosen be
cause their farms were mortgaged. Senator
Kyfe has heretofore considered himself well
paid at tl,000 a year, and Senator Peffer
was working for $25 a week when h'e had
the luck to jump into Senator Ingalls'
$5,000 job. It is said that Kern, of Ne
braska, never made over $500 a year in his
life, and the most of the Alliance men ex
pect to clear more this year than they ever
have before. They have been trotting over
"Washington looking for cheap boarding
honses and the criticisms of the high prices
of board and lodging are angry and loud.
It nsed to be that Congressmen could live
well in Washington on $3,000 a year.
When Congress first met the members were
well paid at f 6 a day, and in 1815 the nation
considered it a big salary grab when they
increased their pay to $1,500 a year. Now
they get $5,000 and find themselves poorer
than their forefathers were at $1,500.
Prices were never so dear in Washington as
they are now. A Congressman cannot get
a respectable 10-room house for less than
$100 a month, and market prices have
doubled since the beginning of the last
Congress.
A City for the Rich People.
Washington Is fast becoming a city of the
rich. It is a town of millionaires and of
millionaires who have come here to spend
their money. A poor Senator has no chance
to entertain on his salary and the cost of
dinners and receptions is enormous. The
prospects are that the coming season will be
more gay and more extravagant than eyer.
Many new houses have been built and some
of the wealthier citizens are adding great
wings to their old houses for the purpose of
entertaining. The matter of dining rooms
alone is becoming an important feature of
Washington life and the dining room is now
one of the largest and most beautiful of the
statesman's house.
Senator Stanford rents a house at Wash
ington, but he has added to this at his own
expense a wing comprising a dining room,
which has cost in the neighborhood of $10,
000, and which though simple in its con
struction for the wants of a hundred mill
ionaire, is a fair type of the tendency of
the times in this direction. You conld
crowd a good-sized two-story house inside
of it, and you could turn the biggest Broad
way dray loaded with barrels around in it
without touching the walls. It has a great
swelling bay-window, and the ceiling is, I
judge, about 15 feet high.
Finish of Walls and Celling.
It is painted a delicate cream which
warms into a pink dusted with gold as it
meets the side walls of pale blue and silver.
These side walls are of a beautiful imported
paper of silver flowers on tbis pale blue
ground and the general effect of the room is
a most harmonious one. There is nothing
gaudy or extravagant in its makeup. The
chandeliers are ot brass,and the globes npon
them did not cost, I venture, more than 50
cents apiece, though they harmonize per
Commercial economy is a much misunderstood science. It does not consist in ever
lastingly searching for and buying that which is simply cheap. It is not always a saving
of money to buy the cheap, for this is sometimes downright prodigality.
Commercial economy consists in buying the good cheap. Here's where we come in.
There is no way to make money so quickly as to save it We ask the economists of Pitts

fectly and are beautiful. The fireplace in
the end of the dining room is of wood
painted a rich cream, and on the right and
left of this, facing the door, are two beauti
ful statues of white marble of Paris and
Achilles.
The pictures on the walls are fine oil
paintings, and most of them were sent on
from California for this room.
There are many dining rooms in Washing
ton which have cost more than that of Sena
tor Stanford's, but I doubt if there are any
which will be so effective or in such good
taste. Stanford is a rich man, but he does
not believe in extravagance or in the gaudy
display of his wealth. He has the best of
everything, but he wastes nothing. He is
very charitable and very free with his money,
but his tastes are simple and' he spends but
little money for mere show.
Plain and Bleb. Furnishings.
The dining table in this dining room is of
plain mahogany, and you might find one
edually as 'fine looking in the house of any
well-to-do merchant. The chairs are of a
simple pattern, cushioned with red leather
and would cost, I judge, less than $10
a piece. The table is very small for SO large
a room, but it is plenty big enough for the
Senator's family, and he has apian for en
larging it at will so that it will accommo
date as large a number of guests as can be
served in the White House dining room.
An interesting thing in connection with
the new dining room is the butler's pantry.
This' runs along the side of the room, and is
so constructed that it would be the delight
of any housewife. It is about 25 feet long
and 12 feet wide, and it has shelves enough
in number to hold the dishes of a good-sized
china store. There are two dumb waiters
which go from the kitchen below to this
pantry, and in one side of it there is a sink
for the washing of dishes which is as big as
the largest footbath, and which has a drain
age board all around it, to that the whole is
as big as the top of a baby's crib. This
draining board is of stained pine( and every
thing connected with the room is as clean
and neat as a pin.
Other Noted Dining Booms.
Mr. John B. McLean is building an im
mense dining room at the back of his big
Washington house, facing McPherson's
Square. This dining room is just opposite
Chamberlin's restaurant and it will be, I
judge, as big a one as Stanford's. It has a
large bay window in the side and will be
beautifully lighted. Another big dining
room will be that of Senator Eugene Hale's,
or rather Mrs. Zach Chandler, for I am told
that the big house which has been built on
the comer of Sixteenth and K streets be
lobgs to Senator Hale's mother-in-law. This
house is the biggest in Washington and
probably the most expensive one. It must
cover a quarter of an acre and it has enough
windows for a big female seminary.
Another big dining room is Mr. Morton's,
built especially for his Washington dinners.
It was stated at the time it was built that it
cost something like $40,000. The mantel
piece in the Stanford dining room could be
built, I should think, for less than $100.
That in Vice President Morton's must have
cost at least a thousand. It is of carved oak,
with a great mirror over it, and it has a
fireplace in which you could roast an ox.
The bay window is made of enormous sheets
of plate-glass and of mosaio glass, which
was especially made for Mr. Morton. The
floor is inlaid in patterns and the kitchen is
walled with tiles of white china and the
ashes are carried out of the house by a
small railway.
Dining Booms In Mahogany.
Some of the best dining rooms of Wash
ington are those of private citizens. The
house of Mr. John Hay, the author of the
"Life of Lincoln," is one of the finest at
the capital. It is in red mahogany and the
wainscoting contains blocks big enough to
make the most beautiful office desk you
have ever seen. Great mahogany rafters
cross each other over your head and the
supports of these are carved columns of
mahogany. Out of a red mahogany alcove
you look through plate glass win

It was in it that Tillie Frelinghuysen and
her father entertained President' Arthur
when the gossip was that the Presidentwas
to marry the daughter of his Secretary of
State. Secretary Whitney made itth
social center of tho Cleveland adminis
tration. His tables were loaded with
champagne to a greater extent than Mr.
Wanamaker's are loaded with AppOlinarjs
and his receptions were gayer and his
dinners equal if not superior, to those of
Postmaster General Wanamaker,
Where Don Cameron Lives.
Just across Lafayette Square Within a
stone's throw of the White House, in an
old-fashioned mansion of the color of Jersey
cream, lives Don Cameron, of Pennsylvania.
His house is the old Taylor mansion, and its
dining room has entertained all of the states
men and diplomats back to the days of
Henry Clay. General Wlnfield Scott was
dined in it, and Daniel Webster often stuck
his legs nnder its mahogany. Just next to
it is Blaine's house, which was a famous
place of entertainment when Commodore
Eogers owned it, and the dining room which
Blaine uses for his diplomatio dinners, was
nsed by Secretary Seward when he was at
the head of the State Department under
Lincoln. The dining room walls are hung
with crimson tapestry and the sideboard is
of old oak. The chairs are upholstered in
red leather, and with Blaine at the head of
the table the dinners are always a success.
Daniel Webster gave his big dinners with
in a stone's throw of where Blaines' now
holds forth. He lived beyond his means
and though he did his own marketing, he
was always in debt. John Sherman has a
very plain dining room in his K street
house. Like Senator Stanford he gets all
his preserves from his country home in
Bichland county, Ohio.
