D'Albert-and Bernhardt as Masters of the Supreme Art of Suggesting" EMOTION WITHOUT USING WORDS.- Action of the National League as to the Contract Labor Law. BUDGET OP GENERAL NEWS! NOTES The world's greatest pianist and the world's greatest actress burst upon Pitts burg's horizon simultaneously last Monday night. ' In this instance the platform and the stage were more than usually upon a level, viewed from the audience. Bernhardt'! foreign tongue robbed the drama of the definiteness which attaches only to the spoken and un derstood word. She had to meet D'Albert upon the same plane, where art suggests emotions, instead ot directly communicat- lngtnougnts. The ciroumstance suggests an inieresting train ot thought as to the substantial iden tity of the arts at bottom, whatever external form they assume for the nonce. Such a comparison reveals anew the superiority of music's direct appeal to the emotions. "Where many were bothered to keep track of what Bernhardt was talking about, none had to worry over what D'Albert was playing about For music, thank goodness, -does not have to be "about" anvthing. It fulfil its high est mission when it simply flows into each listeners heme and quickens into new, thrilling life the fancies and leelings it flu da already there. . And in Eugen D' Albert's hands this mis sion of musio was accomplished. . mixing Up Art and Labor. Mr. Owen Miller, of St. Louis, the retiring Fiesldent or the National League of Musi cians, is reported as uddiesstng these words to the recent convention of the league: "I insist that the decision of tile Treasury Depattment in admitting musicians under contract as artists was discrimination; that we are wage-workers, and entitled to the benefits of the alien contract labor law, but until we officially declare ourselves as such we cannot hope fo make any progress In the betterment of our condition or the elevation, of our art." The status of the wage-worker is an hon orable 6ne, undoubtedly. The status or a member of one of tlio learned or artistic professions ia certainly not less honorable. "It is, moreover, essentially different; the distinction between the two lies in the very nature or things. It is abnrd on the face of it to say that the protesslonal musicians must officially place themselves upon the status of wage-workers in order to better their condition muoh less in order 'to ele vate the art. This vital distinction lies at the root of the whole matter. Let us hope that Presi dent Ruhe Hnd his supporters wUl oppose Mr. Miller's ideas as successfully as they did his candidacy for another term. Echoes From Faderewskl's Tones. A friend kindly sends this note of some of the latest appearances of the pianistio comet whose yellow nimbus has been such a striking feature of the season everywhere but In Pittsbmc: Faderewskl's series of historical recitals, given at Sherry's, piacticallv terminated his Amoi lean engagements. His audiences were almost exclusively or the beau-monde, mid a deep contrast ihey made, in. bright array,.to the strange poetic figure seated in semi-darkness at the piano. The two programmes, including Beeth oven and Chopin, weie specially interesting. In the larger works of the latter composer he excels De Fachmann, and, without doubt. Slays Beethoven more acceptably than you ulow, at least as that authority has been beard of late years.

' ';- The musical world was ehooked 'last Tues day by the news from London that Arthur Goring Thomas, the. well-known English composer, had committed suicide by throw ing himself before a railroad train. According to the Musical Courier the latest news Is that Mr. Thomas was returning from u visit to his brother ac the time of his death. lie either fell or threw himself on the track. A bystander clutched at Mr Thomas' coat, but was obbged to relax his hold in order to save himself. Mr. Thomas leceived friilitful inluiies and expired im mediately. He had longsnffered Horn dizzi ness which had several times led to acci dents. For this reason the impression pre vails that lie did not commit suicide. Mr. Thomas was about 41 years old. Thb opera "Esmeralda," produced in 1883, was his most successtnl larger work. His can tata, "The Sun Worshippers," Is pleasantly remembered here from its performance by the Allegheny Musical.Association two yeais ago. Mr. Thomas is, perhaps, most widely known as the writer 01 numerous songs of high nierit and gieat popularity. Crotchets and Quavers.

Offeis have been made by 16 or 20 people who are desirous of investing their money at the new town to begin the erection oi buildings and stores immediatelr, but the company stand firm in their resolve not to give a deed lor any property until the day of the sale, so that the choice lots will not be gone at the sale and all will have a fair chance.

GOULD'S EBMOEED HEXICAV PURCHASE (WRITTEN POC THE DtSrATCII. Colonel Mapleson, who had a stroke of paralysis last week and can hardly recover, is unquestionably the most picturesque im- , presario the world has known in this half of the .j nineteenth century. some people put quo tation marks about this title, but be took the pains recently to ex plain in a letter to the newspapers that he a Colonel of militia or 2Iapleon. really been had yeomanry in merry England." I remember well meeting him when he was near the close of that last disastrous campaign in New York. It was in the box-office of the Academy, and the gallant Colonel, who was popularly supposed to be in hiding from sheriff, officers and duns, met me with-a gay smile and a "How are you, me boy?" that matched nicely for cheeriness with the red rose he wore in his tightly-buttoned cutaway. It was impossible to cow that man. Ab bey tried to break him up by paying un heard of salaries to the singers whom Mapleson had discovered, to induce them to go to the Metropolitan Opera Hquse and the result has been that impresarios' profits have hovered about zero eversmce. Maple son himself paid Patti $5,000 a night, and it was while she was touring this country under his management, that some ingenious mathematician calculated that Patti was paid 47i cents per note for her singing in "Semiramide," or7Jf cents per note more than Bossini got tor writing the whole opera. Mapleson's financiering was always1 a source of wonder to his friends. "Very few of his operatic projects in this country or England were crowned with fin ancial buccsss, even as he naively confessed in his memoirs, yrt no one has lived in bet ter style than Colonel Mapleson since he blossomed into an impresario in 1858. He understood the magic method of living on his debts. He also allowed his creditors to enjoy a monopoly of worrying. About his experience as Patti's manager, he says that he lost f'J.OOO on her first Loudon season, and has been trying to get even ever since without success. With all his faults, iu spite of his braggadocio and trickiness, he must have possessed many good Qualities. to enable him to win the confidence and af fection of those most "kittle cattle," the operatic stars. There has hardly been a prominent singer in the last quarter of a century who has not signed a contract with Colonel Mapleson, and he will go down to fame at least as the manager of Patti, Nils son, Titiens, lima de Murska, Oerster, Hauk and a host of othef celebrated song birds. Gourko's Kecord as .Fighter. There is always a strong party eager for war in Russia, composed chiefly of army officers who bave nearly everything to gain in the field. We bare a very small imitation of the same party here, as was demonstrated when Chile subjected this country to a mild bluff the other day. Just now General Gourko seems to be head and front of the Russian hot Gowrko. heads, and thanks to his energetic efforts a very healthy war scarce has been started in the neighborhood of his military command in Poland. Since the last Russo-Turkish war General Gonrko has been one of the most prominent warriors of the Bussian Empire. It is a small matter, but the com parative simplicity of this General's name,' in marked contrast to the polysyllabic ter rors of the majority of Bussian names with their endings in "sky and "skeB,"posIbly has had something to do with familiarizing bis name here. Since 1877, moreover, the spelling of his name basbeen further simpli fied by the omission of an "h"afterthe "k." General Gourko established his fame for bravery and reckless daring, as well as for other essential qualities in a great general, in the campaign which ended in the wrest ing of the Shipka Pass in the Balkans from the Turks. There was one dramatic inci dent jn that succession of hard-fought bat tles to which General Gourko's admirers are never tired of reverting. This was the tak ing of Kazanlik, a small town on the south ern slope of the Balkans. General Gourko, on reaching tbs head of the Shipka Pass on July 12, 1877, instead of halting immedi ately set out upon a daring farav into the enemies' country. A correspondent who accompanied Gourko on this wild march through the mountains wrote at the time: "A single storm in the mountains, a deter mined opposition at the mouth ot the pass, the concentration of a stony force anywhere on the road between the pass and tire town any one ot these would have accomplished his ruin." But fortune favors the brave, and General Gourko's headlong attack sent the Turks flying into the plains below, and left him possessor of the southern gateway to the Hainkoi Pass, This passage of the mountains, and by a pass which is one of the rockiest and wild est in the Balkans, the only path for miles being a ledge but a few feet wide on the mountain side, and surrounded at all times by superior forces of the enemy, was regarded as a great achievement. General tfourko would De just tne man to lean a sudden onslaught upon the Austrians, which the cable has Informed us is the plan favored by the Czar's military advisers la case war should be declared. Skipped a Bopa Into Fame. About 1878 the Crutch and Toothpick brigade, as the young swells who worshiped at the shrine of burlesque ia London were called that year, were greatly agitated by the appearance on the Gaiety Theater boards of a very pretty girl, a mere child in years, who danced in a bewilderingly cnte way. She did not attempt to rival the dainty illu sion of Kate Vaughan's dreamy dance it was Kate who originated, although she did not perfect the Gaiety skirt dance over which two hemispheres have since raved but little Connie brought exquisite golden swells down to her ieet with a skipping rope not the first time a little girl has used that toy to a man's entanglement It was in one of Henry J. Byron's burlesques, "Little Dr. Faust," I think, that the little English blonde in a short dress literally jumped into fame. A few weeks later her photographs were in all the shop windows and a Sunday paper bad desanbed in detail how a certain royal personage, not very hard to identify in those days, had conde scended to meet the new dancing divinity at a midnight supper on the very stage hal lowed by fier little feet and the magic skip ping rope. In the consulship of Boilings. head the Gaiety Theater was run for the special benefit of a somewhat fat, good natured man, nearing middle age, who was not then quite so bald as he is now, nor quite so engrossed with his mother's busi ness in the general utility line. The Prince of Wales in fact seml-officially set the seal of his approval upou theluckv Connie Gilchrist, and all the titled and moneyed noodles who carried huge crutch canes aud religiously sucked the handles of the same as they sat nightly in the Gaiety stalls, made a wild rush tar tht poor little dancing girl's heart. I forget tha details, but I rather think a mercenary mother kept Connie Gilchrist's heart for her, and saw that the innocent little creature did not squander her affections upon unworthy ob jects. They used to say that the first man who had the precious privilege of sending his private hansom for Connie after the performance tired of the luxury at the end of a week. But there were plenty of worthy that is wealthy voung men, aye, and old men,' too to take his place. She had been, prior to her appearance at the Gaiety, an artist's model. By going upon tie stage she simply invited the world to see what the eecentric painter, Whistler, raved about and painted in one or his vaguest moods in a picture that was one of the curiosities for the season a dozen years a?o in the impressionist gallery presided uvcr uj .uuriic-uuiieo. ouc n: always par tial to artilts," but naturally, when the pocketbook was concerned, preferred peers or commoners with a bank account Of late years the stage has beep deprived of her ele vating influence by the Dufce of Beaufort, a man old enough to be bergrandfather. Now she has emerged into public view again as the prospective bride of the yonng Earl of Orkney, who is five jears her junior, and one of'those blessed creatures endowed with boodle and bine blood, and not tro much brains. Although she has lived o0 years in the world, and half of them st high speed, the is said to be still a beautiful woman. As I remember her she certainly was as pretty a girl of the English blonde and petite type as yon would with to see. Historian Freeman's Place in Letters. In a contest that took place recently under the auspices of a well-known Eastern journal, ana in wnicli quite a number of able persons took part, it was almost unanimously agreed that Prof. Edward Augustus Freeman, of Oxford, England, was the man who should hold the leading place among historians of the time. A contest was really unnecessary in this case. Bancroft and Freeman. Mommsen were living then, bnt neither one ranked with Freeman, even though the the names sounded more familiar. Is it not strange, under the circumstances, that such an individual should pass out of existence and the fact receive no more attention than is contained in a 12 or 13 line paragraph such as was published in the majority of papers, that took the pains to even notice the demise. Prof. Freeman was 69 years of age. ire had written much and on many different subjects ot a general historical nature. His works ranged liom "Comparative Politics" to "The History and Conquest of the Saracens," from "A History of Architec ture" to a "General Sketch of European History." In all of these he pays great at tention to detail aud thoroughness, and it is to these attributes of his works that he owes his extraordinary reputation as an historian. His Oxford lectures were well attended, as he bad the faculty of making them enter taining as well as wonderfully instructive. His was an intensely interesting per sonality, as wa his appearance decidedly picturesque. But he was not so much of a success socially. There was too much of fortiter in re and too little of the suaviter in modoabout him for that. He was always a lion in more senses than one in whatever circle he moved. Impetuosity and a nervous desire to be fighting for what he deemed right, no matter whose feelings he hnrt, were hismostprqjninent characteristics. His controversy with Fronde,which filled news papers, magazines and pamphlets with fire and fury while it lasted, was a sample of the hot water in which all his life was Eassed. But he seldom attacked men; 6oks and opinions were the objects of his artillery. When he meddled with the politics of to-day he wis generally on the wrong side, as, for example, his rabid de fense of the Tory stand toward Ireland. But his vision was clear enough when he looked into the past, and the world owes him a debt for the light he has shed upon much of its history. Jay Gonld'a Rumored Purchase- For the second time the rumor has been afloat that Jay Gould is to purchase the. famous castle of Chepultepec, in Mexico. It seems rather peculiar that such reports should get about if there is absolutely no truth in them, and yet on the other hand it is difficult to realize that the Mexican Gov ernment would part with such a landmark of their national pride and history, unless they were in desperate straits for ready cash. In that event the 67,000,000 which Mr. Gould is said to have offered would come in very nandy. Howcverthat may be. Mr. Gould would be an exceedingly luckv man if he were to become the owner of this wonderful castle. It stands on a sol itary hill on the outskirts of the City of Mexico, a hill round which wars bave been waged for thousands of years. In the beau tiful castle itself Montezama lived until conquered and slain by Cortez, who in turn occupied it for a time. " Every ruler of Mex ico since has resided at some time or other within its walls. Should you want to visit Chepultepec, you take a road that runs from one of the gates ot the capital, as straight as a dart to the gate of the grounds surrounding the celebrated palace. Tnis is one of the most beautiful avenues to be found in Mexico. For a long time it was called the Road of the Mad woman, which has been changed in recent times to the Empress road. The first thing that attracts vour attention are the tall, broad-limbed cedars, some of them with trunks 20 feet thick, which form a de lightful wood skirting the base of the hill. One of these of extra size is named after Montezuma. The bath of the famous Aztec monarch, a pond which a visitor described as "the clearest, sweetest pool I ever saw tor bath ing," is also in the vicinity. It is 40 leet deep, yet one can see the ferns andmoss growing on the bottom, and the hole in the rock from which the water comes forth. Strangely enough the growth of trees only lingers around the bottom of the cone of Chepultepec J. Be sides are nearly as Dar ren as the "bad lands" of Arkansas, the only growth that obtains being a small willowy bush known as the Penu or pepper tree. The castle is reached by a road winding up the side of the hill and past two grim Aztec idols of ancient workmanship. An exquisitely shaded garden surrounds the structure. No palace in the world is more delightfully situated than Chepultepec, not excepting "even the celebrated Fontaine bleau, Potsdam, Windsor or Schonbrun. Every room commands superb views of tha beautiful valley, its city, plains, villages, mountains, monuments, lakes and rivers. It is interesting that from the time of the ill-fated Montezuma to the equally unlucky Hapsburger, Maximilian, the lords of Che pultepec have generally come to violent ends. None of the unhappy ghosts are known to haunt the place, being, no doubt, glad to get as far away as possible irom the scene or their troublous careers. A Number of Necks In Dangers Velasquez, the member of the Balmaceda ministry, now a prisoner on board the Chilean warship Huascar in Valparaiso harbor, stands a very good chance of being hanged. He seems to deserve it too, for he is accused on appar ently good grounds of shooting people indis criminately who did not consider Balmace 354k da synonymous with Velatquez. everything just aud holy. If the military court which is now trying him, sentences him to death, the only alternative likely to be offered him by President Montt would be eternal banishment from Chile- A num ber of other Chilean senators, congressmen and private citizens, who aided and abetted Balmaceda in his attempt to erect a despo tism are watching the trial of Velasquca with desp Interest because they realize that his fate may be their own.
