THE MUSIC WORLD.
The
Cost of Music and the Proper
' Way to Get the Money.
AS TO AN ENDOWMENT FUND.
New Grand Opera and Its Merits Compared
With the Old.
GOSSIP OP MUSIC AND MUSICIANS
Music costs money. It frequently costs
more money than it makes. In its larger
forms, tbe more adequate the performance
the larger the inevitable deficit.
That is the gospel that needs preaching
just now to bring about the musical salva
tion of Pittsburg. In onr town larger
musical affairs have been looked at chiefly
as business enterprises. True, there have
been "guarantee funds" subscribed at
time. But when the guarantors
have been called . on to pay up
as they always " have been they
were surprised and disgusted. They ex
pected the enterprise to pay for itself under
normal conditions and thought their guar
antee was only a sort ot provision against
extraordinary, unforseen circumstances.
This is all wrong. The very name, "guar
antee fund," is wrong. It should be called
"subscription of capital, or "endowment,"
or something else implying that the money
is actually intended to be called for. The
usual name implies a merely secondary,
conditional obligation; but the presumed
principal obligor is a man of straw. For
music on such a scale does not pay for
itselt and should not be exnected to pay for
itself
In money.
Kote that paragraphed restriction. For
the experience of the world, which has
shown that such music cannot pay pecuni
arily, has also shown that it pays so richly
in other directions that mot Governments
cover its deficits out of public taxes on the
same ground and in the same way that
they maintain public schools, public parks
or conservatories.
Until American statesmen can rise above
"river and harbor" log-rolling, the neces
sary support for music of large caliber has
to be sought from private sources. In
many cities of our land this call has within
the last year or two met with a most gener
ous response from large-hearted, large
fortuned' men and women. Several, sub
scriptions of as much as 50,000 (the income
ot $1,000,000) have been made for a series
of years. Permanent endowments, ranging
all the way up to f 250,000 lor the New Eng
land Conservatory, have been raised.
That is bow American cities are trying to
rise to the musical level of the State-sub-ventinned
institutions of Europe. Pitts
burg has this lesson yet to learn. The con
ditions are ripe for it to be learned and
practically realized right now.
Prof. Palne'a View or It.
In line with this view of our
local situation, read what the Musical
Courier quotes of Prof. John K.
Paine's article in the current Forum.
After reviewing the operatic situation,
which be finds in all but a hopeless condi
tion, Prof. Paine makes the following sug
gestion for an endowed operatio establish
ment, which would be independent of the
caprice ot the public, tbe whims of artists
or the penury and a ariciousness of man
agers: "A tew word ts to the cost ofan endowed
opera," writes Prof. Paine. "I should think
that a capital of $2,000 000 would be sufficient
to place and maintain it on a-firm basis. Two
millions moie would be lequhed for the con
struction or purchase of an -opera house.
Tbe interest fiom the, endowment fund
would provide for the annual deficit, though
t times opera would laiKolv pay for Itself.
Any money saved could be devoted to a pen
sion fund. '' ' ' '
. The coat of giving opera on a permanently
organized plan would do lar los, relatively,
than it is now. ith moderate salaries and
a 8 stem of long engagements for the artists
the expenses could be kept down to a mini
mum, and there is no doubt that people
would form the habit of going to the opera
if 'the prices were regulated according to
their means. Tho scale of piices
might range fiom SO cents to $5,
witn higher prices forpriv.ite boxes. There
Is no leason why an opera house should not
be conducted witn as much economy hs a
university or a railroad so far as its flnanolal
affairs aio concerned. It should
have a corporation and a Boat d of Directors
or faculty composed of musical experts, and
connection should be made with established
schools of solo and choi us singing, dramatic
action and orchestral playing.
Prof. Paine further elaborates this plan,
and points out that every town almost in
Germany boasts ot its opera house while
America with difficulty supports one, the
Metropolitan Opera House, and for only
four months every year. He advocates a
mnemonths' seasoD.urging that artists could
be engaged at reasonable terms if their en
gagement was longer. Much more hai
Prof. Paine to say on the subject, and he
does not forget to call attention to tlie
rapid strides taken by the native talent.
and mentions that Parker, Whiting, Foote,
Chadwick, McDowell, Bird, Strong, Nevin,
Buck, H. W. Parker, "Van derStucken,
Huss, Dc Koven, Shelley, Gilchrist and
Gleason are all likely men irom whom hope
lul work must be expected.

After this brief but very delightful musi
cal menu, the members and guests examined
the large, new plans and designs of the
Carnegie Free Library buildings to go up
at Schenley Park, and which will comprise
tbe Central Beterence Library, Oakland
District Library, Museum, Art Gallery,
Musio Hall and accommodations for the
various sections of the Academy ot Science
and Art. Subsequently a resolution was
passed expressive of the Art Society's
gratification at the superbinstituteprojected
by Mr. Carnegie for the. public encourage
ments of the fine arts that constitute Jko
society's own object also.
The business meeting was exceptionally
lively and interesting tor a body that has
generally shunned meeting for business.
Many suggestions ot wider lines ot work
were made, and to carry them into effect
this Boat d of Directors was elected: Messrs.
Joseph Albree, John W. Beatty, Boss "W.
Drum, William B. Edwards, 'Martin B.
Leisser, George A. Macbeth, Charles C.
Mellor, Charles W. Scovel and John C.
Slack and the Rev. George Hodges.
The Art Society never was in a condition
so promising both for the pleasure of its
members and the profit of the public at
large.
Xew and Old Opera.
Speaking of Mascagni and his "Caval
leria" to a German interviewer. Verdi is
reported to have said:
We older musicians have been obliged to
write. interminable grand outtras, spread
overfonr hours and a half, to introduce
choruses which have nothing to do with the
story, to elaborate simple situation, and to
write lengthy arias, with all sorts of ac
cessories. Instead of keeping to brisk dra
matic action. And now we see spring up a
young composer with Immense talent and
great facility of invention to give us a
serious opera in one act without all this tra-la-la,
and in which the action nover baits.
I regard it as a happy innovation, and am
not surprised that our public have accepted
it with enthusiasm.

"Washivotox, June 4. One of Mr.
Blaine's ideas for making the people of the
United States familiar with the South
American Bepnblics, newly opened to Yan
kee commercial enterprise by his scheme of
reciprocity, is to illustrate by exhibits at
the Columbian Exposition the various tribes
of savages in that part of the world. Most
interesting of these groups of little-knqwn
aborigines are those ionnd in Peru, from
which country the special commissfoner
sent by the Department of State, Ensign W.
E. Sofibrd, of the Xavy, has just returned
with a wonderful collection of costumes and
curiosities oi all sorts. He has also secured
many photographs of native types, though
with no small difficulty, the photographer
being wonnded so severely in the side by a
warrior who threw his spear at the camera,
that he bad to have a part of one of his ribs
removed and is likely to die.
These remarkable wild people inhabit the
shores of the tributaries of the Upper Mara
non. Among them are the fierce and war
like Jivaros, who are celebrated as the
most beautifully dressed human beings in
the world.
How the Savages Dress.
The men wear coronets of exquisite feath
ers, and tunics of like material hanging from
the waist nearly to the knee. From their
ears depend strings ot feathers, fastened to
gether at the breast with tusks of the jaguar.
The plumage for the articles of attire and
adornment are obtained chiefly from the
scarlet and tufted ' cock-of-the-rock, the
"sinami," which is of deep cobalt blue tint,
and a species of torcan that bears in its tail
feathers of "brilliant orange and rose color.
These garments arc of great value, not even
the royal feather manties of Hawaiian mon
arch comparing with them in loveliness.
Thev are made on a foundation of bark
cloth, the bark being soaked in water for
several days and pounded into a kind of felt
on a smooth stone, after which the pieces
are sewn together with twine of agave
fiber.
The Jivaros further adorn themselves
with armlets and leglets of monkeys' teeth
and beetles' wings of prismatic hues. No
dudes to be found anywhere on earth are so
gorgeous as they. At.the same time, they
are very ferocious, and it is they who in
vented 'and practice the extraordinary art,
peculiar to themselves, of preserving the
heads of their enemies for ornamentr.
Preparing Brad for Ornament.
For this purpose the head is cut squarely
off, the scalp is split up the back to tbe
crown, and the skull is removed, the knife
being applied around the eyelids, ears and
lips, so as to leate them attached to the
skin of .the face. Then the incision at the
back is sown up, and the head thus emptied
ot skull and brain is filled with small hot
stones. These stones are replaced again and
again with others freshly heated, and the
head is hung finally for a long time in the
smoke of a fire, the hair being protected
from injury with leaves wrapped around it.
The result of this process is to reduce the
head ofan adult man or woman to about
one-quarter the size ofan infant's cranium.
Three specimens, prepared in this style; are
on exhibition in an out-of-the-way corner of
the National Mtisedm. They are grotesqnely
horrible beyond description. It is impossi
ble to realize that thcyare human, resem
bling as they do nothing but dolls. Although
so shrunken, the faces are perfectly pre
served in form, without wrinkles, though
black as charcoal. To each one is attached
a luxuriant growth of long, black hair.
Across each diminutive countenance red
stripes are painted, ' this being the final
toqeh in the preparation of these trophies.
As such they are used, being hung around
the neck of the warrior by a cord passed
through the crowns. ,The Jivaros also pre
serve their dead by smoking, thus trans
forming the corpses into mummies.
Snap Shots In Pern's Forests.
Portraits ot this and other tribes of
strange savages who 'people the forest re
gions of Peru some of them the first like
nesses of these native types ever secured
have been brought bact by Mr. Safiord.
Quite a number done in oils, are admirable
works of art and will be shown at the Chi
cago Fair, together with costumed figures,
huts, utensils, weapons, etc., illustrating
the different groups of 'aborigines. Most of
these people "are migratory in their habits,
traveling up" and down the rivers for the
purpose of fishing and hunting. They have
no form of government, dwefling'or roving
in scattered bands, which are summoned
together for war by beating drums made of
hollow logs.
The chief motive for war with them is the
capture of women for wives. Having no
wants worth mentioning, those of them who
are partially civilized cannot be persuaded
to do any work, such labor as must be per
formed being done bjf.the women. Their
houses are thatched with palm leaves, the
roofs being supported bv posts.
If beauty unadorned is adorned the most,
the tribe of Lorenzos save for their undeni
able ugliness would be justly considered
better dressed than the gorgeously-clad
Jivaros. For they, at all events tbe men,
wear not a single stitch. Nevertheless, on
occasions these people decorate themselves
with equisite head-dresses of bright-colored
parrot feathers.' ,
Remarkably White Complexions.
Perhaps the Most remarkable thing about
them is their light complexion, which is
understood to be due to a union with the
whites under extraordinary circumstances.
Three centuries a;o the Spaniards at
tempted to wipe them out by force of arms,
but in one terrible conflict in the year 1599
they won a victory and destroyed a Spanish
settlement, carrying away all tbe women.
Many of them at this day nearly approach
the Caucasian iq appearance.
When it comes to a question of naked
ness, the Ca sivos ot Peru are unrivaled in
South America. Very few tribes of savages
in the world go entirely nude, but the men
of this one wear absolutely nothing what
ever, abjuring even ornaments, save for an
occasional necklace. The women are dirtr
and repulsive, covering themselves only
with a brown cloth about the waist. 'To
show that a perception of the decorative
mav exisit without an accompanying sense
of deeencv, the instance may be cited of the
Auishiris, on the borders of Ecuador, ot
which people the male representative
clothes himself simply r with a beautiful
crown and necklace of feathers, the female
wearing a short petticoat. The Casslvos
above referred to are said to be cannibals,
but tbe allegation is probably incorrect.
Savages Who Make Wonderful C olh.
Most gentle and tractable of all these
forest tribes of Peru are tbe Zaparos, famous
for the cloth they make from the baric of
the llanchama tree and for the hammocks
tbey manufacture out of vegetable fiber.
They are incorrigible thieves and resemble
the Cmnese physically, iheir stature being
small and their eyes set angularly. They
have no words for numbers above -3.
Above that and up to 10 they show fingers,
but beyond 10 they cannot go. They use a
narcotio drink which prodncean effect like
vthat of opium. Their dead they bury in a
"sitting posture, each corpse being wrapped
in the hammock which belonged to tbe de
funct while living. The old men, however,
are interred head-downward, for reasons
not ascertained. Ttiey believe that the
spirit of evil is a black specter, called
"if ungia," that lives la the woods. Ac
cording to their notion, the souls of the
good and braro enter the bodies of beautiful
.--- - -. -.
birds, which feed upon delicious fruits,
while cowards are transformed after their
demise Into crawling reptiles. Polygamy
is common among them.
A comparatively civilized tribe, whosa
enlightenment is sufficiently illustrated by
the facfthat its members always swear by
the name of the devil, is that ot the Napos
on tbe frontier of Ecuador. Thev bnry
their dead in canoes, hold "wakes' oyer
them, and, in every case where a family
man has died, take the widow to the river
and wash her. Intoxicating beverages
being apparently indispensable even to
wild people who live in the forest, the old
women of this nation make themselves use
ful by chewing yuca root, transferring the
masticated masses to big jars .of earthen
ware, where they are left to ferment. The
resulting beverage is said to be highly stim
ulating;. The Tribe Famous for Arrow Poison.
Bat there are several wholly savage
(rib:s which are tar more remarkable in
point of manners and habits, not least in
teresting being the Orejones, whose ear
lobes are pierced for holding tambourine
shaped discs of bone, two inches and more
in diameter. Naturally, when there is a
fight, these queer ornaments afford a hold
for tbe adversary, and it is no unusual thing
for one of them to be torn out so that ths
victim is disfigured for life, being no longer
able to sport an ear plug. These people
are particularly celebrated as makers of ths
famous "woorari" poison, for tipping ar
rows and spears.
The Cuntros are among the most fierce
looking of these Peruvian savages. Thejr
wear coins through their noses, and their
faces are painted with brilliant stripes of
"arnatto." This pigment is a red powder
which covers the seeds contained in the
prickly burr of the "bixa" plant. It is an
article of commerce on tho upper waters 'of
the Amazon and its tributaries, being ex
ported in large quantities to Europe, where
it is used for coloring butter and cheese.
The same sort of face-painting is practiced
by the Campos, met lerocious and treach
erous of all the South American Indians,
who wear necklaces composed of birds dried
whole. Of interest also are the Canelos,
who adorn themselves with beautiful ear
rings ot beetles' wines' ending in tufts of
bright feathers, and with strings of precious
toucan tails dangling from their shoulders.
A Moris Code Btst oabrami.
But most surprising of all, from another
point of view, are the Quichuas, who have a
peculiar method of communicating intelli
gence, bv which they have been known to
convey information over a distance of 210
miles in less than two hours by taps of
drums irom hilltop to hilltop, a sort of
Morse code being employed in making the
taps, like the dots and dashes of the tele
graih. These savages of Peru have certain arts
of their own which are not understood else
where in the world. They catch fish, upon
which tbe migratory tribes chiefly depend
for food, by shooting them with arrows.
The smaller kinds they capture by throwing
a poisonous root, mashed to a pulp, into a
stream between two artificial dams. It
stupefies the fishes, which presently rise to
the surface and arc readily gathered in.
For killing birds thev utilize blowguns
made out ot a species of palm. This sort of
weapon is ordinarily about ten feet in
length, the pith being removed from the
stalk and leaving a smooth and polished
bore. For arrows the leaf-stalks of another
kind of palm are employed, each one sharp
ened at the point and wrapped about the
middle with silk-cotton, obtained from a
tree. The dart is introduced into the blow
gun like a cartridge, filling up the bore,
and a puff of breath sends it on its deadly
mission. So great is theskill of these wild
marksmen with this noiseless instrument
that they will kill an entire flock of birds
one after another, without frightening
them.
Bow They Hunt the Crocodile.
A favorite sport in that part of the world
is to slay the crocodile by stratagem. The
mightv saurian, especially if a "man
eater," needs no other bait than is afforded
by the hunter himself, who is armed only
with a stake sharpened at both ends. Ha
'decoys the hnge, reptile, leaping quickly
aside when the latter mates a gran at ninr,
and finally planting .the 'stake between the
jaws of his adversary, which is thus ren
dered helpless. A strong rope fastened to
the middle of the stake is then seized by the
spectators, and the helpless monster is
dragged about in triumph until his persecu
tors decide that it is time for him to die.
'The warlike Jivaros commonly exchange
their wives with one another. The women,
when about to be confined, go into the woods
alone, and there give birth to their off-,
spring. Meanwhile the husband in each
case takes to his bed, and the wife, return
ing, devotes herself for eight days to wait
ing upon him, and supplying him with all
possible dainties. Another strange thing
about the people of this tribe is that they
eal no salt. It is said that the women some
times reduce taeir consorts to a condition of
idiocy by dosing them with an infusion of
fioripondie, male from the seeds of a plant
allied to the "stramony," which was util
ized by the priests at Delphi for producing
the oracular frenzy. Having thus disposed
of her spouse, the discontented female se
lects another one to fill his place, and in
stances are recorded where the husband
thus deprived of his" mind has served his
wife and her new lord as a slave.
A Tribe or Speckled B-antfes.
One entire tribe is afflicted with -a very
extraordinary skin disease, which produces
sores. When the latter have healed, the
skin in those spots is left white, owing to
the destruction of the pigment cells locally.
Thus all the members of the tribe are more
or less speckled, and individuals are fre
quently seen who have become almost en
tirely white. It is a favorite passion with
them to weave cloth out of the hair of their
enemies, and belts of this material are worn
around the waist for trophies.
Among other things brought back from
Peru by Commissioner SanforJ are 17 mum
mies of ancient inhabitants. They were
obtained by the accidental discovery of a
subterranean chamber, in which the desic
cated body of a female, doubtless dead for
many centuries, was found seated on a
throne-like platform. Upon her lay many
utensils of various sorts. In a calabash
were the remains of some small fishes, and
in an open bowl were several sea-crabs per
fectly preserved. There were also jars
which had presumably been filled with
water originally. Grouped around this
strange figure were the other mummies,
their knees drawn up beneath their chins
after the mannerpeculiar to the early Peru
vian method of burial. Tbe underground
chamber, together with its grewsorae occu
pants and the objects referred to, will be
reproduced'xactly at Chicago. A remark,
able collection of vases was also secured, all
of them of great antiquitv.
