THE PLANS FOR OUR OWN FAIR.
Close of the Season's Work by the Art Soci
ety Friday Evening.
K0TE8 STRUCK FB0M iLL QUARTERS
Mr. F. X. Arens writes to the Musical
Editor of The Dispatch, from Berlin
under date of May 10, in part as follows:
"I beg leave to inform you that I have
been requested to conduct an American
composers' concert at the Vienna Musical
and Dramatic Exhibition, such concert to
take place some time in early June. This
no doubt must prove highly interesting
news to your readers, for at last the Ameri
can composer is deemed worthy of entering
the arena of the world, a distinction long
ago accorded the American painter and
sculptor.
"The other countries to bs represented
are: .Great Britain (Gowen, conductor),
Germany (v, Bulow and "Wcingartner),
Austria-Hungary (Richter), Bohemia
(Dvorak), Russia (Tschaikowsky), France
(Massenet and" Lauioureux), Scandinavia
(Svendsen), Italy (Verdi and Mascagni).
"After this 'official acknowledgment of
the American composers (no doubt brought
about by the uncommonly enthusiastic crit
icisms on my recent American concerts here
and elsewhere) I do not see ho w the "World's
Fair authorities can very well
help extending a similar invitation
to the tone-poets of the land.
In order that the American composer be
placed on the same footing with his brother '
artists ot the brush and chisel, a series of
composers' concerts ought to bs arranged
for, such ooncerts to be accessible to all
visitors to the Fair grounds without further
charge. The musical countries above men
tioned would no doubt respond to such an
invitation. That a great many visitors
would be attracted by just such concerts,
that therefore the World's Fair funds
would not sustain any loss through the en
terprise, goes without saying."
As regards Mr. Arens' "American Com
posers' Concerts" abroad, it is pleasant to
record any efforts that spread the fame of
our own writers and elicit such favorable
comment as the following, made by the
Enghsh and American Register upon Mr.
Arens' recent concert at "Weimar:
The work of the American composers
Chadwick, Foote, Schoenfeld, Paine, Shelley
and McDowell executed at this concert, are
the result of much musical knowledge and
tnlent, and of a very striking effect: notwith
standing that they aro moving on classical
ground, they are in the main influenced by
In. mrtf..i, c1ftAla nf Tlnrllny T.lcvfr nnl

belonging to the highest aristocracy.
As has been announced, the furniture
and fittines of Her Majesty's Theater, Hay
market, will be sold by auction at the end
of the present month. In the middle of
June the historic house itself, the scene of
many an operatic triumph, will be disposed
of as building material and the stage
where Grisi, Tamburini, Mario and Rubini
sang so gloriously till 1846, when
they seceded and with Costa, the
famous conductor, started a rival establish
ment "The Koyal Italian Opera;" where
Titiens reigned as prima donna lor many
years, unrivaled in such parts as Norma,
Medea, Semlramidt and Fidclio, and where
Christine Nilsson won the first of her
many London successes in 1807 will vanish
forever. On the site of the theater will
rise a palatial hotel, fitted with every pos
sible modern luxury and convenience.

IF you are wise you will improve this OPPORTUNITY OF
A LIFETIME by being one, of the buyers. The lots at
ALIQUIPPA have been on the market iust six weeks. -In
that time half the property has been sold A record that speaks volumes for the
new manufacturing town, whose advantages for permanent and profitable im
provement are unexcelled or equaled. A $300 lot there is already enhanced in
value over 75 per cent to those who purchased them a month ago, while the com
pany have made no increase in their prices. A $300 lot (the average ' price) will
double or even treble in value the next year. Why not investigate this golden
opportunity ? It is as safe as a Bank or Building and Loan Association, and will
give you much handsomer returns on your money. 50 lots were sold at the sale
on Wednesday. Representatives of the company will be found on the grounds
every day, for which trains leave the P. & L. E. Station at 7, 8, 12:30 and 2:55,

As regards Mr. Arens querulous intima
tion that the musical department of the
World's Fair needs to be urged to do the
proper thing hy the America" imposer
that is wholly another mattei bless, in
deed, he means by "a similat invitation"
one addressed to himself personally, like
the invitation to Vienna. But, while cir
cumstances and convenience may have des
ignated Mr. Arens as the proper conductor
of such a concert over there, it does follow
that he should receive the same prominence
among all the resident composers and con
ductors over here.
In point of fact this gentleman and
several others who have lately been ques
tioning or openly attacting the musical
management of the World's Fair are too
hasty in jumping to conclusions.
For the dedicatory ceremonies, Oc
tober 12, three " native composers
George W. Chadwick, John K. Paine and
Mrs. H. H. Beach havebeen commissioned
to write special music About a year re
mains before the Exposition proper will be
opened and -that is ample time for getting,
ready a musical scheme of even greater
magnitude than these hasty critics hive
themselves ventured to suggest.
Of such magnitude the contemplated musi
cal scheme actually is. Its scope is likely
to be made known soon after Secretary
George H. Wilson's return from Europe,
where he went on this very errand and
whence he will return within a week or
two.
In the meantime all people interested can
well afford to rely upon such men as Mr.
Theodore Thomas and Mr. Wilson to con
duct the musical portion of the big show in
a manner that none need be ashamed to own
as an American achievement.
A
The Carnecin Library Plans.
The general art-loving publio has canse
to be interested in the trend of the Art So
ciety's activity, as intimated in the notices
about to be sent to the members, sub
stantially as follows:
The hundred and seventy-ninth reception
and the annual business meeting of the Art
Society, to be held Friday evening, Jure 3,
1892, at 8 o'clock, in the Pittsburg Clnb
Theater, will close the current season's
work.
A brief but choice programme will be
carried out bv Miss Bertha M. Kaderly, so
prano; Miss Blanche Newcombe, violiniste,
and (probably) Mr. Beveridge Webster,
pianist, home artists whose quality needs
no heralding m tnis connection.
The society is to be congratulated on
having obtained for this occasion the priv
ilege Of first viewing the 12 large detailed
plans now under consideration for the Car
negie Library buildings to be erected at the
main entrance to Schenley Park. It is be
lieved that an examination of these plans,
showing the ample accommodations for the
library, the museum, the art gallery, the
music ball and the quarters of the Academy
of Science and Art (including our own so
ciety), will give to most persons their fifst
lair idea of the superb proportions and far
reaching scope of this unrivaled institute of
liberal culture
Mr. Carnegie is the art society's only sur
viving life member. Our futnre field of
usefulness is closely identified with that of
his munificent gift to the public There is
peculiar appropriateness in having these
plans before our eyes on the occasion of
this vitally important annual meeting.
All members.jOld and new, are urged to
attend and give suggestion, direction and
encouragement tp t the directors to bo
elected at this meeting, who will next year
be entrusted withthe' delicate and difficult
task of carrying into effect, as far and as
fast as may be, the broad, public-spirited
purposes for which the Art Society was
chartered.
Notes Sounded on the Cable.
Last night's London cablegrams contain
these musical items:
At the Koyiy Theater on Thursday there
was presentecOor the first time in London a
French musical play 'tfitbont words, en
titled "Le Petit Chaperon Konge" (Little
Bed Biding Hood). It was very well re
ceived. Funds are being collected to purchase the
house in Halle where Handel, the great
composer, was born on" February 23, 1685.
The house is to be sold, and a brewer, who
already uses the grounds as a beer garden,
is desirous of purchasing it. The admirers
of Handel do not wish the house to fall into
his hands, and hence the movement to buy
it. It is proposed to convert the building
into a Handel museum, as has been done
with the birthplaces of Goethe and Beetho
ven. A highly successful morning oonoert was
given yesterday at St. James' Hall for the
benefit of the National Society for the Pre
vention of Cruelty to Children. Quite a
number ot dtstinguiihed artists volunteered
to assist in the enterprise, among them be-

Death of a Great Maestro.
The recent death at Milan or the veteran
Lamperti removes the createst of thoso
maestri to whom the chief credit for tho
great Italian school of singing is due. From
an intoicsting article in the NewYorkSun,
signed by Lillie P. Berg, the following data
are taken:
Lamporti's expeiicnce of singers and the
art of sonsr literallv dated from his birth, ns
he was the sou of an Italian singer or some
reputation, and during the first years of his
life olten flrruied mi the ntagre in nrocossions
and otherwise. At the age or 17. after eight
years of hard study at the Milan Conserva
tory, his services were constantly
songht for as, accompanist by the
meat sin-era from all p.irts of the
world. It was abour this time, in 1S30, that
he opened an operatic agency In connection
with his teaching. Thus his studio had a
doiblo attraction for the f.imous singers,
t-omc years afterward he was persuaded to
become the head profeoi" for singing at the
Royal Conservatory of Milan, a connection
which lasted for23 vcais.although Lamperti
gavo but n few hours a week to tho con
servatory. This was tho only official place
he over held, his entire life and interest hav
ing been concentrated on his private pupils.
Yet, so great has been his inilucnco
on tho art of song all over the civilized
world, that titles, decorations, and honors
came to him in goodly number. Between
ICoO and 1S50 most of L-imDCrti'B famous

Mr. Frask Torre, hailing from Baltimoro,
is quoted thus by a St. Louis reporter: "To
say that at the Popo's servico'one heais tho
grandest church muic that tho world'has
ever known sounds commonplace, so far
short does it tall of apt description. I am
something of a connoisseur, have been a pro
found studont of music all my life, and have
nearu every great opera produced by the
most famous organizations, but nntil
n few months ago, when I heard
the Pope's choir, I had no idea that tho
human voice was capable of such perform
ances. I don't see why tho big operatic or
ganizations don't learn a lesson from St.
Peter's ana nave a cnorus or boys exclu
sively. It would not suit the baldheade, hut
it would please the genuine loveis of mosle."
Verily, a little knowledge is n dangerous
thing when it can turn the head of a (self
styled) "profound student."
This item, from Chicago Presto, will bo

who knew Mr. Clark and his lamented wife:
Mr. Frederic Horace Clark, of this city, Is
the author of a series or "etchings" in what
will be known as "The Artist's Unified or
Poetic Edition or Classical works or Modern
Instrumental Music." Mr. Clark's editions.
which will include tho Ucethoi en, Schubert
"and Mozart sonatas and symphonies anil
the etudes or Chopin, exhibit theso
works in tho ordlnaiy staff notation, but
each paze Is curiously enwreathed with a
series of sweeping curved Iino9 desiened as
a "symbolizatlon of the small and large
rhythms or parts of the music and their de
velopment in verses, stanzas and groups of
stanzas." The Idea Is unique and so cur
ious that the attention of tho studious will
doubtless bo drawn to it. Mr. Clark has
also published n music setting to Goethe's
poem, "An den Mond."
Mr. George H. Wilson writes to tho Chi
cago Tribune oCa visit to tho greatest living
Italian composer as follows: Verdi's manner
was perfection and ho made my call most
interesting. His appentance is that of a
polished man ot tho world just entering
upon old age. Ho walks erect, and If he
talks with deliberation there is no hesita
tion in this speech, nor would'one think to
look at him that ho wns SI years old. His
head sits periectly upon his rather slight
form and his clear gray eyes are kindly.
He was dressed in a sack suit of black
cloth, his working garb, I fancy, for tho
room in which he received mo adjoined his
study, lie spoke or ins onera or "lalstaff,"
but as I refrained from "in'ervienlng" him
I did not learn when it would be completed,
but I Imagine it Is nearlv done. Verdi's in

than perfunctory, and he is very proud of

Yesterday was a busy day in the divorce
court Jndge White granted three divorces
and refused three, and five new suits for
divorces were entered.
In the case of Charles F. Anderson, of
Braddock, against Anna N. Anderson a di
vorce was refused and a lengthy opinion
handed down by Judge White. " The alle
gation in the suit was "cruel and barbarous
treatment," Judge White, in his opinion,
said that a good deal of the testimony was
only hearsay. Continuing, he said:
We have freqnently admonished attor
neys and commissioners on this subject.
There is entirely too much carelessness and
looseness In tho mode of taking testimony
in divorce cases. It should bo strictly legal
and competont. It is asking too much of
the Court to sift tho testimony.
Further he said that in this case the par
ties were married 23 years and had children
grown up" and married. The burden of the
testimony was that the wife was
in the habit of getting intoxicated
and when so used abusive language and ne
glected her household duties. The evidence
was slight as to cruel and barbarous treat
ment and not sufficient to justify a divorce.
Continuing, he said:
Intoxication is not made a ground of di
vorce, nor the mere neglect of household

Effecting Reform by Forb-arance.
But it Is an incident and misfortune in the
married state which requires kindness and
iorbcarauce on the part of tho husband.
Kindness and forbearanco, with loving
counsel and assistance, will do far more
toward effecting i rerormatlon than severity.
What will be gained bva divorco in this
caset Shall tho wife of 23 j car-", the mother
of his children, be cut off and sent adrift in
the cold world? Even if a divorco is grnntod
the husband mu-t givo alimony under the
net, and that should be a reasonable amount
for hor support. Better continue to support
her us he has done.
In conclusion, the divorce was refused.
A divorce was refused in the case of
Sophia Mulert, bv her next friend, Dr. F.
Koeller, against Justus MulcrU The couple
were married in February, 1890, and lived
on Mt Oliver. He was o4 years of age and
she 19. Cruel and barbarous treatment was
thJt. "'charge. Judge White in his
opinion said the parties had been
married oniy a iittie.over a year.
During the last six months they did not
live together happily. There was nothing
in the testimony that proved cruel tind bar
barous treatment and the wife appeared to
be as much to blame as the husband. The
evidence was insufficient to justify a decree
of divorce and it was refused.
A divorce was also refused in the cae of
Annie 3L Cohen, by her next friend J. E.
Succop, against Emil Cohen. Judge White,
in his opinion, said there was very little
testimony as to wilful and malicious deser
tion, the charge made, and a divorce was
refused. The libellant, however, wpuld be
allowed to take further testimony if de
sired. The parties were married April 19,
188i, and separated in July, 1887. They
lived on the Southside.
Three Absolute Divorces Granted.
Jndge White granted divorces in three
cases. Henry Strohm was granted a divorce
from Louisa Strohm. He is a farmer in
Indiana township. Ho is 57 years of age
and his former wife 37. It was charged
that she became too intimate with a farm
hand, William Hill, emploved by her
husband, and a separation .resulted.
Mary E C. Diethrick was granted a di
vorce from Jacob J. Diethrick on the ground
of desertion, and Emma J. Matthews was
divorced from James Matthews on the
charge of cruelty.
Five nrw suits for divorces were entered.
Attort H. L. Goehring filed the suit of
Carrie Lawton, by her next friend,
Charles W. Cayan, against Jeff H. Lawton.
They were married September 5, 1875, and
went to live .in McKeesport. It is charged
that he beat and abused her and finally
deserted her in October, 1890.
Attorney AT. S. Thomas filed the suit of
Jacob Bies against Mary A. Bies. They
were married October 7, 1873, and separated
February 5, 1891. Infidelity is charged and
Bobert T. Crowe named as co-respondent.
Attorney Henderson filed the case of
Harriet B. Johnson, by her next friend, B.
F. Porter, against Kichard B. Johnston.
They were married April 24, 1889, and it is
alleged he deserted her April 28, 1890.
Grew Tired and Went Away.
T. T. Donehoo, Esq., filed the case of
Annie Beece, by her next friend, Ella Ar
baugh, against Ernest Beece. They were
married December 22, 1882, and it is charged
he deserted her May 20, 1889.
C A. Eobb, Esq., filed the suit of Albert
C. Brethauer against Minnie D. Brethauer.
She deserted him in February, 1887, it is
charged.
An attachment for the arrest of Daniel
N. Neely for contempt of court was issned
yesterday at the petition of Christina
Neely. She stated that on January 13,
1892, she was granted a divorce from the
bed and board of Keely, and awarded $180
per year alimony, payable quarterly, and
f50 counsel fees. April 1 was the day for
payment of the first quarter, but he has not
paid, she says, and he is about to leave the
countv. The Court issued the attachment,
and fixed June 4 for a hearing.
The Victim of an Assault to Receive a
arge Share of tho Recognizance For
feited Dy His Assailant A Kew and Im
portant Decision.
. E. E. Fulmer, Esq., yesterday filed in
the Quarter Sessions Court his report as
auditor in the matter of the Commonwealth
against John Daly, Jr. He was appointed
auditor to distribute the proceeds from the
forfeited bond of Daly, who was charged
with mayhem, but disappeared and for
feited his bail. The present proceedings
are pecnliar and the first of the kind erer
undertaken in this country.
A year ago, Daly and the prosecutor in
the case, T. J. Greenaway, got into a quar
rel. Grcenaway was knocked down and
Daly bit off his nose. Daly was arrested
and Greenaway made an Information
against him for mayhem. He was indicted
and gave $1,000 bail for his appearance at
conrt, M. F. Byan becoming his bondsman.
xie umpeu bail, however, and his bond was
forfeited. The money, J1.000, was recovered
and paid into the county treasury.
Greenaway now wanted damages for
the loss of his nose, but Dnlv
was gone and had left none of this
world's goods behind him, so a suit against
him could have been of no use. His attor
neys, B. B. Scandrett and T. M. Marshall,
thereupon made the unusual move to get
compensation for Greenaway's loss. Thev
brought to light an old law or method of
practice and under it petioned the Court to
appoint an auditor to distribute the pro
ceeds from the forfeited bond of Daly. The
auditor was appointed, took testi
mony and decided that Greenaway was
entitled to compensation for his injury.
He then recommended to court the follow
ing schedule of distribution of the $1,000:
Conrt costs in trial of case against Daly,
$39 45; auditor's fee, $75; counsel fees for
Greenaway, $150; compensation to Green
away for his injury, $735 55. Totnl, $1,000.
Heretofore the monev from all such for
feited bonds went to the county, but bv
this case a precedent has likely been estab
lished that will divert considerable from the
county's coffers.
She Insists Upon n Park.
A bill in equity was filed yesterday by
Estella G. Jones against Anna K. Marks
and the Yoder Land Company. The plain
till states that she bought a lot from the
land company, which owned 24 acres in
the Twenty-second ward, paying $4,225.
The company agreed that two of the lots m
the plan, fronting hers, should be dedicated
for park purposes. Becentlv, however, the
company has sold the two lots to Anna B.
Marsh for $7,000, and she is about to build
on them. The court is asked to restrain her
from so doing and decree the lots reserved
for park purposes.

Judge Stowe Says He Is Powerless to Pre
vent Grade Crossings.
Judge Stowe handed down another opinion
yesterday bearing on the case of the Penn
sylvania Railroad against the Braddock
Electric Railway, in which he says that a
further consideration of the case hat
strengthened his views expressed before.
He says a grade crossing at the place pro
posed by the defendant company is so
dangerous that it should not be allowed if
there was any power in the Court to pre
vent it, but the charter of the company was
granted under the act of 1889, authoriz
ing the use of the highway cross
ing the plaintiffs' railroad as a
route lor the defendant's railroad. The
eighteenth section of the act giving any
company incorporated under the act the
right to cross any railroad at will is vicious
legislation, but it is law and must, be
obeyed.
Judge Stowe thinks that perhaps the
property owners along the line of the Brad
dock electric road might claim damages and
in the event of such claims being presented,
he thinks the Court would have
the power to grant a preliminary injunction
restraining the defendant company from
proceeding until some provision for dam
ages was made, which would no doubt be
until additional legislation could be se
cured. The Court is compelled under the present
law to hold that the defendant company
ha a right to occupy the road withJts
track at the place where it crosses the
plain tlU's road, and the only power the court
lias is to requite that such means are used
and precautions observed as will reduce the
danger of collisions to the minimum.

Uxder an order issued last week, nt tho
suggestion of the Judge Advocate General,
tho practice of dishonorably discharging
enlisted men without giving them the bene
fit or a court martial is stopped. Unless a.
man is tried by a general court and then dis
honorably discharged under sentence, his
discharge must rend as honorable and be
cannot ue prevented rrom enlisting again If
he so desires. This places a quietus on the
rather common practice in many organiza
tions of firing a man ont with a so-called
"bob-tail" discharge, and means that the
Judgo Advocato's department must pav
mora attention to business in the future and
grant the calling or courts more frequently.
OryicuL lightning struck the Eighteenth
Kegiment last week in the shape of an order
disbanding Company I, of McKeesport, and
discharging the officers or Company E. Is
was intimated in this colnmn some weeks
a?o that such action would take place, so is'
has not been much or n surprise. The re
sult or the order means a reorganization of
Company E under new officers, and, with a
choice of tho material of men or both
companies to select rrom, a thoroughly good
organization can no doubt be effected. It is
probablo that a squad or twenty to thirty
men will be kept in McKeesport under a
lieutenant and the balance or tho new com
pany recruited in Pittsburg. The duchnrge
or the officers of Company E was made under
section 31 or the State code. The company
had gotten in poor shape mainly througn
the inattention or the officers, and tho de
cisive action or Adjutant General Greenland
was not unexpected.
I the weather permits the rifle practice
season in the Fourteenth Kegiment will
probably bo opened to-morrow, as a number
ofthe men will take tho benefit of tho holi
day and pnt it in at target practice. Consid
erable objection is raised among the shoot
ers to the order of Colonel Osthaus
raising the requirements lor a sharp-
suootor to 45 points instead or 42, wbioir'"'
wns the minimnm heretofore. It is C-'tfed
that if a contestant goes on the range nnd
honestly wins a silver bar under the stiff
regulations laid down heretofore he is
either u remarkably good marksman oris a
chance shooter. It is safe to say that out of
a thousand men wearing sharpshooters'
bars to-day In the Guard not fifty of them,
can live up to the exact letter of the recent
order nnd -lu a sliver bar for this season.
Thcro i not a regiment in the Stato to-day
that doeinot break the rifle practice regu
lations in qualifying sharpshooters, the fa
mous Thirteenth Kegiment not excepted.
