THE MUSIC "W.0RLD.
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

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.
In spite of the anxiety of the American
public about the unshorn locks of the great
liussian, there can be little doubt -tUat his
individuality would disappear if they bad
their wish, and the rare spell b flits presence
be dissolved. " . li.
Shocking Death of a CcfnjrloVi.' ' ';-
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.

judge by the .great interest manifested in
the property. Although no lota will be
sold until the day ot the first public sale on
April 14, many people have selected lots
which will be sold them on that date if
they make the first application at the office
of the company at Aliquippa on the day of
the sale. 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. In considering Aliquippa remem
ber that the companies who own the prop

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

was while she was touring this country
under his management, that some ingenious
mathematician calculated that Patti was

than Bossini got tor writing the whole

source of wonder to his friends. "Very

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

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

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

hard to identify in those days, had conde

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,

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.
