-THE PITTSBURG .'DISPATCH,- ;SUNDAY,- ' JANUARY ;f 31" 1892.:
TEE JIIDSIC TCOBLD,
Why the Exposition Society ilnst Go
to the East for Its Band.
NEED OF LOCAL OKGANIZATION.
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.

under the auspices of ono of the lodges of

The second meoting for tho organization

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:

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

"Lohengrin'' was so pronounced a success at

Grand Opera, has concluded to co to Vienna
in Fchiuary on the occasion of the first pro

to engage Van lvck for a fnture French
production of "Die Meistersiuger" at tho

Mr. .Tony KicnAitns is to bo the beneficiary
of a testimonial concert tendered by tho Su
perior Choral "Union, occurring hcxt Thurs
day evening at Superior Hall, Preble ave
nue, Allegheny. In the 21 numbers of tho
programme (it Is just long enough to vote
on age) Mr. Itichardsand the chorus will bo
assisted by Mrs. G. F. Midgely, Mrs. Dr.
Miller, Miss Greatrake, Miss Annie Recs,
Miss Annio James, Miss Viciheller, Miss
Dora Stark, Messrs". W J. Davis, J. F.
Midarely. D. P. IIarii, Henry Bees, I). J.
Davis, Daniel Evans. Xat. Williams J. Jones
and Mark Porritt. llesldes this list of per
formers the audience, too. 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.

surplus goods in many departments which must be moved right
quickly. We have no use for them now, and the room they
occupy becomes more valuable every day.
NO WHITING POLICY.
When confronted with surplus stock we resort to the mos.
heroic measures to get rid of it In this particular case we have
simply "cut the life" out of prices, and as a consequence the
following astounding values are offered this week. Note care
