How the Chase of Dollars Leads to Extrav agant Advertisements. FOOTS OP GEXERU. INTEREST The decision of the Exposition Society to continue in the future to employ Eastern military bands, instead of returning to local talent, could have been forecast by anyone familiar with the conditions" of band and orchestral music in this community. It is not a question so much of men as of market. It would not be difficult to organ i7e a complete military band here; the Xew outsiders that might be wanted could easily be had. But such a band, nben organized, would need much more than a few weeks' encasement at the Exposition each year, to pay for the work of properly preparing such a series of pro pranimc as that one engagement would re quire. Outside the Exposition there is here hut a small market for the services of the whole force in concert programmes. First-class ensemble music, whether through the medium of a brass band or of a complete orchestra, cannot support itself without a large and constant public patron age. The lioston Symphony Orchestra, for instance, did not become self-supporting even in the musical Huh of the univer.-e, until Ir. Higginson had generously paid a lialf-dozn yearly deficits aggregating, per haps, $100,000. Of course that is unpar alleled liberality;, the coat might have been cut much more closely according to the cloth end still have fit right welL I5ut it points the moral that outside financial aid must be liberally extended to all such enterprises, if they are to exist at all. To be sure, the players can do much to bring things to the point where men of wealth will think it worth while to provide the funds. If they would cease their squab bling over 'aiere points of union partisan ehip, would inaugurate a liberal policy and themselves encouiage all manner of orches tral efforts, whether ihe man at the next stand belongs to the union or not, they might legct the confidence of that exceed ingly shy bird, the capitalist. in many respects the time is ripe lor a tiermanent.high class orchestra in Pitts burg. The need for it is surelvripe enough and the general public, including those holding the nurse strings, are more than ever sensible ot that need. If all the ac tively musical people would join harmon iously in agitating the topic we could, in all probability, have a good orchestra or ganized to open the next season. concert at Masonic Hall last Friday evening, under the auspices of ono of the lodges of high degree.

Mil Ethelbckt N'evis's name appears on two impoitant Western programmes noted last week that of the fourth Theodore Tnomas Concert at Louisville, where Mrs. Julie K.

The second meoting for tho organization of the East End Musical Club, w4iich was to have been held last week, was postponed till Thursday of this week, on accountofa conflicting attraction. Mr. Breil reports that lunch interest has been manifested and that the prospects are good cicnt snntll chorus. for forming an efll- K A Case of Misguided Zeal. It is positively funny to lead the circulars tent out by managers whose zeal o'erleaps their discretion, heralding the advent, of this or that musical attraction. As a cn cral thing the less meritorious the perform ers, the more sweeping and superlative the managerial vocabulary. Hut the same style of advance gush too often finds its way into the circulars of high-class artists. l'or example: Miss Marie Decca is giving song rtcitals here and there under the man agement ol one Francis JLcou Chrisman, who is doubtless responsible for the advertising methods adopted. His circular bestows on Miss Decca the ques tionable title of "The American Jenny X,ind,"and begins with the very doubtful assertion: "Marie Decca is the greatest lyric soprano in the United States, if not in the world." After many more similar i-nperlativcs, the programme of the song recital, which, it is said, "presents in turn the most charming and characteristic songs ofail nations," is thus printed: taut first. l-.'u a.

Plenty ofFood for Hnmor. It is doubtful which is more amusing, the iouchingly naive comments bracketed in Jhis programme, or the charming indiscrim inateness with which a German composer is classed as characteristically French, a Swiss piece dubbed German and a Londoner's pong made to represent American music. Small wonder that a local cotemporary, trying to reprint this programme, got "Coinin' Thro' the Kye" down as a French piece, just as though it were "Comin' Thro the Cognjc." Such stud is calculated rather to injure than to help tiie success of any true artist, iliss Decca may well eiclaim,"save us from our friends! It is to be hoped that the circular referred to is not being sent broadcast through this J cii-Hiiiunur 10 advertise the recital to be given by Miss Decca February 11 at Carnegie Hall, under the auspices of" the prominent young society women who arc trying by a teries of entertainments to raise'a fund for fccholarships at the Pennsylvania College for "Women. To say nothing of the deserving object, Miss Decca hcrseh js far above this kind of cirrus trumpeting. Her IticnAV.D Wagxer is making rapid strides outside ot Germany, says thclfiuinzZ Courier. "Lohengrin'' was so pronounced a success at I'.iris that Rcrtraud, the new director of the Grand Opera, has concluded to co to Vienna in Fchiuary on the occasion of the first pro duction thorp of Massenet's "Werthcr." and to engage Van lvck for a fnture French production of "Die Meistersiuger" at tho "aris Grand Opera.

Is expected to join in the last song and chorus, bearing tho familiar title, "Hen Wald fy N'hadan." MrCiiAitLES Davis Carter has been chosen onranist and choir master of Oakland M. E. Church, where he expects to bnild up a chorus choir of exceptional efficiency by giv ing its members an equivalent in the way of personal tuition in singing. Mr. Carter ought to bo encouraged in tuns opening up, as a contemporyputsit, a "source of supply for church singers." For his own sake.however, it is to bo hoped tnat ho has some means of keeping his singers, after he has trained them to some decree of proficiency and some other church offers them paid engagements. This stumbling block has upset tne various choirs heretofore organized upon the plan now courageously taken up by Mr. Carter. The churches ought to offer a joint prize for an infallible mode of forming and.more diffi cult still, of keeping a complete chorus" cnoir. Mr. EvAxrEt, Schmauk, of Kittanning, whose musical enterprise has already beeu noted from time to time In these columns, Is evidently the leading spirit of tho Schubert Quartet, which gave a concert at that place last Friday evening. The other members of the quartet were Mr. Adolph De Quinze, first violin; Mr. Kobert Friske, second violin, and Mr. E. D. Weaver, violt, Mr. Schmauk playing tho 'cello for tho nonce. Tho programme was of a mnch higher order than is wont to be offered in smaller communities and contains brief notes of the composers and works repre sented that could not fail to be useful to the audience. It is worth noting, however, that the "Kood old church tune," known as "Austria," was not taken from Haydn's quartet, but rice vena. Havdn subsequently used In the quartet that tune which he hail originally written expressly as the Austrian national hymn. The point'is worth noting, because that is tho only tune written by a composer of the first rank which any neo'plo has taken for Its very own, as its acknowl edged national hymn a fact which aptly il lustrates the spontaneous, unaffected nature of "Papa" Haydn's muse.
