THE MUSIC WORLD.
The Local Summer Concert Season
Has Been Inaugurated,
AHIKT FOE SOME BRIGHT MANAGER
Amngnnents of Musical Ferric In
Pittitunr Churches.
CHANGES SUGGESTED BI TOT POPE
The regular musical season being past,
"summer night" musio is now in order.
Not by Mendelssohn, however. Pittsburg
gets no such programmes during the dog
days as those Mr. Seidl has given at
Brighton Beach, or the lighter but high
class orchestral musio so well played at
similar concerts in most of the large cities.
The instrumental forces for such pro
grammes are not at our command, even if
all other favorable conditions were present.
Bo we must make the best of what we can
command.
That includes this summer two series of
suitably informal concerts, followed by
dancing. One series is given by the Great
Western Band, augmented to 40 men, at the
f ycloroma Auditorium, Allegheny. It was
oegun successfully lut Friday evening and
will continue every Mondav and Friday
until further notice. Considerable sums
have been expended, it is said, in fitting up
the hall and the adjoining "park" under the
same roof.
The other series is Mr. 'William Gnenth
er's six "summer night festivals" at Silver
Lake Grove, East End. These will begin
next Thursday evening, and be repeated bi
weekly on the the same night of the week.
The musio will be by a small orchestra,
which will play the first evening Wallace's
"Maritana" overture and selections by Offen
bach, DeKoven, Wiegand and others. Miss
Celestia McDonald, the contralto lately
from Boston, will sing the cavatina from
Bossini's "Tancredi."
In both of these enterprises there crops
out again the curious idea that musio on
summer nights must invariably be followed
by dancing. It is an idta wholly peculiar
to Pittsburg managers. Other large cities,
where such concerts are exceedingly popu
lar, prefer on those occasions especially to
take their "hops" in cool, liquid form. Bnt
even if our judges will not license Gam
brinus as musio's summer night assistant, it
is not necessary to call in the aid of pant
ing, perspiring Terpsichore. "What's the
matter with Hebe and her innocuous
nectar?
Seriously, though, summer night
promenade concerts have never been given
a fair trial in this community. The dancing
tail has always wagged the musical dog.
Because you cannot have dancing at such
places without attempting or pretending to
draw lines of social exclusions, which pre
vents the affairs from standing on the
proper basis as simple, publio concerts. The
result is not satisfactory from any stand
point; neither social nor musical success
can be had to any marked degree in such
hybrid entertainments.
Someday a bright manager will see that a
comparatively slight expenditure on one of
the .Exposition buildings ana tne surround
ing grounds and river lront would provide
just the plare for a summer season of low
priced orchestra or band concerts with ap
propriate accessories in the way of "solt"
refreshments and promenades under cover
and a! fresco. Then everyone will wonder
why Pittsburg bo long lagged behind the
tim'es in the matter of providing such de
lightful source of enjoyment and recreation
ior all respectable people, whether "socially
eligible" or not.
Hot Weather Church Music
Church musio is another branch that
survives the regular season, and stays
always with us. .Nowadays Ualvary P. m.
Church in the East End is taking the lead
in this important department of the art,
locally speaking. An intended item was
inadvertently omitted from this column last
week, referring to the very successful re
petition of Beethoven's Mass in O at that
church on the preceding Wednesday
evening. Mr. Carl Better, tne organist and
choir master, led the forces,
comprising a solo-quartette and chorus
of 24- voices, with a number
of stringed instruments and French horns
to round out the organ accompaniment
The spacious church was filled, though ad
mission was only by invitation in order to
assure room for the many members ot the
congregation that had been literally crowded
out on the first performance ot the Mass, a
few Sundays before.
And now it is announced that Calvary
will open its hospitable doors again to the
lovers of sacred music next Sauday after
noon (the 19th inst,), when a special festi
val service will be given by Mr. Henry L.
Bingwalt and his well-known independent
choir, assisted by Miss Irene L. Sample, Miss
S.'rah C Vogel, Mr. Edward Edstrom, Mr.
Edward H. IJermit and the Gernert Orches
tra. This service will be composed of a
number of hymns, anthems and canticles
specially selected and adapted by Mr. Bing
walt to cover the whole church calendar as
commemorating the life of Christ It will
be of unique interest to churchmen as well
as to musio lovers generally.
Changes Proposed by the Pope.
In this connection it is pertinent to call
attention to the significant efforts now mak
ing by the Pope to secure a betterment of
the musical services of that great com
munion. The London Figaro savs:
"The recent circular ot the Pope, was it is
rumored, suggested by an unfortunate mis
take in the Nicene Creed made bv a com
poser, and which obviously -need not be
more particularly referred to here. At any
rate, a code of rules will shortly be drawn
up by the Vatican, and the opinions of
eminent musicians of all countries
have been sought upon the
questions: (L) What special and def
inite instructions should be promul
gated to determine the kind of musio
which is best fitted to excite the devotion of
the faithful? (2.) What measures should
be taken both to preserve to the sacred
music its proper character, and also to pre
vent any changes taking place in the nature
and order of the religious services through
the music? (3.) Whether it would be ad
visable to propose a code of rules for sacred
musio as a universal guide to
the whole Church? English musi
cians, it is understood, have not
been consulted in the matter, partly because
none ot our most eminent musicians are
members of the Roman Catholic faith. This,
of course, is not the first time that a Pops
has busied himselt in the reform of church
music The "Missa Papas Marcelli" was
composed in 1663 by Palestrina as the
authorized pattern for the churoh musio of
that period (certain vicious schools of com
position having been condemned by the
Council ot Trent), and it was dedicated,
though after the Pontiff's death, to Pope
Marcellds IL "
Brents ln;Europe.
These musical paragraphs came to The
Dispatch by cable from London, last
night:
The attempt of Sir Augustus Harris to
imitate at the Corent Garden Theater the
effects obtained at the Bayreuth Opera
House was scarcely successful. On Thurs
day "Siegfried" .was produced. Immedi
ately after the prelude, the lights were
turned out and the house was thrown
into almost perfeet darkness. This
occasioned some grumbling on the
part of the audience, who of
oourse found it impossible to read their
libretti. The lights in the orchestra inter
fered with the view of the stage. For some
time after the performance began a ray of
light streamed into the gallery and npoa
the top of the great chandelier, marring
the effect The bandsmen were grouped
around the conduotor, who stood through
out the evening in the center of the orohes
tra. He also gave cues to the' artists.
The subject of Wagner's opens s the
Covent Garden brings to mind the fact that
the official programme at Bayreuth states
that this year's performances will take
place between the 21st ot July and the 21st
of August. "Parsifal" will be performed
'eight times, and "Tristan and Isolde," the
"Meistersinger" and "Tannhaeuser" four
times each. Directors Levi, of Munich,
Mottl, of Karlsruhe, Eichter, of Vienna,
and Strauss, of Weimar, will act as conduc
tors. The management will be In the hands of
HerrFuchs, of Munich, as in former years;
the choruses and the musical management
on the stage are intrusted to Director
Julius Eniese. The orchestra and choir
will be practically the same as in previous
seasons. The dancers in "Tannhaeuser"
will be under the superintendency of Vir
ginia Zucchi, of Milan, and are mostly the
same as last year, consisting of members of
the eorpt U ballet of the court theater,
Berlin.
.
Cataloguing the Hera Collection.
The work of cataloguing the Karl Merz
Musical Library which has been delayed
in the unrealized hope of securing certain
important additions is at last completed.
Copies of the catalogue may be had by per
sons interested on application at the prin
cipal music stores, or at the Academy of
Science and Art Copies will be mailed at
once to the subscribers to the fund with
which the library was bought for Pittsburg.
A bnef recital of the manner and condi
tions of the purchase is contained in the
catalogue, together with the names of the
81 subscribers to the fund and the rules for
the use of the books adopted by the
Academy of Science and Art, in whose cus
tody the library is left pending the opening
of the Carnegie Free Library in Pittsburg.
The rules are as follows:
1. Any subscriber to the fund, and any
member of the Academy of Science and Art,
or of the Art Society, may consult the
books by applying to the custodian.
2. Other persons may have access to the
books, on making a written application,
signed by two members of the Academy, to
the Council of the Academy.
3. No book, pamphlet or anything be
longing to the library, shall be taken from
uo iuvui iu nuiuu ib is piaceu. t
In this neat pamphlet of 28 pages and
coyer aro contained about 800 titles repre
senting from 1 to 60 volumes each. It is
well that this rich store of musical lore is
brought more conveniently within reach
just at the season when customary musical
activities are dull and more time is left for
reading and research.
Ho one desirous of investigating any mu
sical question need hesitate to apply for
access to these books. It is a publio
library and should be as generally used as
the conditions of its temporary custody will
admit
Crotchet! and Qua vera.

THE WEEK'S AMUSEMENTS.
A Pleasant Concert in Prospect N. 8. Wood
Once More at Harris' Theatre.
The promenade concert and hop at Cyclo
rama Hall on Friday last was such a success
that the Great Western Band will carry the
series through the summer. The next con
cert will be on Friday night, June 17, the
proposed Monday night concert being omit
ted because the threat Western Uaud has to
accompany the .Kits out ol the city. On
Friday evening next, therefore, a good con
cert may be expected, and after it there will
be abundant opportunity for dancing. The
garden annex to the hall was highlv appre
ciated at the first concert, and it will be im
proved before Friday. In this garden a
cool and comfortable seat can be found.
The attendance is kept very select and'
great care is being exercised to exclude un
desirable folks.
The ever-popular N. 8. Wood is coming
to Harris' Theater for three weeks, com
mencing to-morrow afternoon. He will
play in a round of his best characters. For
the first week his repertoire will be: Mon
day, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday,
"Out in the Streets;" Friday and Saturday,
"The Boy Detective." Mr. Wood will be
supported by a large and carefully-selected
company, and his productions will have the
advantage of special scenery and mechanical
effects designed by Mr. Wood himself
An Important Wedding.
Invitations were issued yesterday by Mrs.
Alkey C. Kerr for the marriage of her
daughter, Violet, to Mr. Bobert Patterson

sister, 227 Dinwiddle street, at 8 o'clock.
Miss Kerr is the youngest daughter of the
late Colonel Samuel Kerr, of Harrisville,

Unexcelled Facilities for Furnishing Pore
Wines and IJqnors.
Probably no wholesale liquor firm In
Western Pennsylvania have facilities for
furnishing pure wines and liquors as those
possessed by U. E. Llppencott St Co., 913 Lib

their own distillery (the Llppencott distill
ery at Lippenoott, Green county. Pa., which
has been established CO years), but tbey
monthly bring over the finest product of the
the vineyards of France as well as that of
the large warehouses In .the Kaiser's do
main, -Retailers desiring the best should

MAKING NEW VOTERS.
A Large Number of Applications for
Citizenship Granted.
JUDGE WHITE REFUSES ONE HAS.
A We Falls in s Faint on Hearing the
Sentence of Her Unsband.
ODDS AND ENDS FROM THE COUXTS
A number of new citizens were natural
ized yesterday. Judge White naturalized
"nine and Judge Collier seven. One was re
fused his papers by Judge "White. He
came from a German province and was una
ble to speak English, and Judge "White re
fused to naturalize him.
Another of the applicants was an En
glishman who has been in this country ten
years. "When- asked by Judge White
why he was so long in becom
ing a citizen, he replied that he
had not given the matter any thought be
fore. At this indifference Judge White
grew indignant and exclaimed: "You ought
to be glad to be allowed the privilege of be
coming a citizen of this country. The coun
try can get along very well without you,
and it is a benefit to yon to allow yon to be
come a citizen."
The man, however, obtained his papers.
SENSATIONS IN COURT.
A TTir Faints at the Severity of Her
Husband's Sentence Another Woman
Overcome by Ber Own Punishment
Sentences Imposed.
There were a couple of sensational scenes
in Criminal Court yesterday. One was
when a man named Fleming was called up
for sentence. He had been charged with
aggravated assault and battery by his wife.
He oflered to plead guilty to simple assault
and Uiis was accepted bv District Attorney
Burleigh. Judge Magce grew indignant
when he heard from the witnesses how the
defendant had abused his wife and gave
him a vear to the workhouse. Mrs. Flem
ing, who was present, fell to the floor in a
faint at the severity of the sentence.
The other incident occurred when Mrs.
Dumbaker, who had been convicted of
selling liquor without license, was called
up for sentence. She had five children with
her and plead most pitifully for leniency,
but Judge Magee sentenced her six months
to the workhome. As she was being led
away she fainted and had to be carried from
the court room. Secretary Dorente of the
Anti Cruelty Society took charge of the
children at the request of the court.
Other sentences imposed yesterday were:
Charles Geiger, larceny, six months to the
workhouse.
Dennis Delaney, larceny, two months to
the workhouse.
Edward Glenn, assault and battery, K
and costs.
Joseph Shock, Paul Binehard, Jacob
Bish, Joseph Bobinstein, Ernest Kruger,
George Stern and Peter Both, all Bt. Clair
township liquor law violators, four months
each to the workhouse.
A peculiar feature of the Dumbaker case
was the fact that the woman was convicted
partly upon the testimony of Thomas Ba
leigh, who, in turn, was convicted of per
jury in testifying as he did against the
woman. The Court has granted Baleigh a
new trial.

HIGH SCHOOL CHANGES.
Two Propositions as to Examinations to
Come Before the Central Board Talk
From the Schools .Exhibitions of Draw
ing Do-ie by Pupils.
A rew months ago the Central Board of
Education, on motion of Dr. Eearns, who
contended that the present plan of having
pupils undergo a written examination was
injurious to tho health of pupils, appointed
a committee of eight to report on the ad
visability of changing the present plan and
a better method, if there is one. After
getting the rnles employed in other cities,
the committee had several futile meetings.
Secretary Charles Boisfar's plan, lately
published, which is a combination of method
and piomotion by class record nnd exami
nation, was adopted by a majority of the
committee. Dr. ff. D. Kearns. D. R. Torre-ice,
Prof, c B. Wood, of the Hizh School,
Dr. A. E. McCandless and Charles Relator.
Yesterday the minority of the committee.
Dr. W. H. McEclvey, Miss Jennie Ralston
and Superintendent Lnckey issued a mi
nority report, which will be presented to
the Central Board of Education next Tues
day evenin?, as well as the majority report,
bo the meeting will be a lively one. On one
committeo are two doctors, and one of them
vi as especially anxious that a plan be
adopted, taking the health of the pupils into
consideration. Tho other committee, with
ono doctor on it. contended that examina-
tion-enco in seven year', the dividing line
between the ward and High Scliool, is not
injurious to the pupil, but of value to secure
uniformity or work in the schools.
The minority report states that from
statistics gathered from 17 of the
larger cities of the country show that only
in four of these cities aro pupils admitted to
High School without examination. Nine of
the cities combine examination with class
record and judgment of principal and
teacher, but in both cases the teacher mak
ing the record and the principal approving
it are agents of the board which elected
them. The minority plan which will be pre
sented to the Central Board next Tuesday
evening is as follows:
First That the present plan of reporting
the percentages of tho applicants for ad
mission to the High School, and or tho
soiiools from which they come, shall be
abandoned, nnd that the principal or the
High School shall bo required to report to
tno Chairman of the flirrli School Committee
only the card numbers of the successful
applicants. The manuscripts of the unsuc
cessful applicants may be seen by either the
principal or the assistant principal of the
school to which tlior belong, during the
week after the delivery of the report ur
daring the nrst week in sepicmDcr, in tne
presence of the principal or tho HUh School
or of some one of the faculty named by him.
Second That tho High School faculty shall
conduct said examinations in the various
sub-district buildings to which they may be
assigned. When the numoerof schools to
boexaminod exceeds the numoerof persons
assigned from the facility, the classes from
two or more adjacent districts may bo com
bined by order or the Superintendent.
Third That the members, of the faculty
shall receive the questions at the rooms of
the Central Board of Education at 8 o'clock
on the morning of the examination, and the
seal of tho package shall be opened in the
presence of the classand assistant principal
Fourth That the said members of faculty
shall assign card numbers and collect all
cei tiflcates entitling holders to be examined.
Fifth That they shall collect all mami
scripts and deliver these with said certifi
cates to the principal of the High school on
the same day.
Sixth That all committees appointed to
examine manuscripts shall work In bank.
Seventh That on the subjects or geog
raphy, history and grammar the candidates
shall be permitted to select a specified num
ber of the topics orquestious submitted,and
write upon the same.
A formal ccrtidcate is provided to be In
dorsed by the members of the Central Beard
of Education as to the residence of candi
dates. The Treachers Institute sometime ago de
clared in favor of no examination in either
ward or form ward to High School.

'TIS N0TJBY LUCK.
The Rule That Governs Things In
the City of Pittsburg
SUCCESSFUL MEN ARE AGREED.
Low-Spiritedne33 the Prims Causa of Mairj.
Recent Failnrei
THE PART THAT WOMEN HAV PLATED
Successful men all agree that things do
not go by luck, but by law.
The wealth of Pittsburg's "prominent'
citizens" has not been gained by chance, but '
has resulted from causes, and ministers and.
physicians have worn out the maxim, that
the first wealth Is health. Sickness is low
spiritedness, and that never succeeds.
When Dr. Grosvenor's famous Bell-cap-sia
plasters were first put upon sole In the druffl
stores, it was dono upon the solicitation o(
some of the most eminent physicians lathis'
and other large cities, who bad long used,
and prescribed them forone simple reason'
that thev acted by absorption directly upon
the circulatory system, removing the causes
of disease.
The peculiar medicinal qualities or this
standard plaster had long been recognized
by the medical profession as affording not I
only spceuy uut peruiitueiik rruei irom
rheumatism, neuralsla and kindred
troubles, and as especially valuable for tho
nnlck and lasting relief or the backaches
and sideachei with which so many women. J
seem to think they must be ulUicted. j
Women are not by necessity sufferers,
especially now that those best of plasters!
are within their reach. A BoU-cap-slol
plaster costs only a quarter ora dollar; and!
there Is no good excuse for any lomlly
being without one or more of them in thai
house. Asa well-known physician of this!
city has aptly put it, no home is complete
without one.
Bell-cap-sio plasters relieve pain. They
are a common tenso remedy. They euro
rheumatism. They have made lite worth,
living Ior scores or women in Pittsburg,
They are worth a thonsand doses of harm
ful medicines taken into one's Innocent
stomach In the hopes of curing a backache.,"
Try one, and when you buy a Bell-cap-slol
Elaster be sure It is genuine; It Is so if there'
i a picture of a bell on the back-cloth.
