gVigVfflgTffl mEBHHhhhHMHIHIHBHI rrt- 10 THE PITTSBTraGK DISPATCH. SUNDAY, AUGUST 7. 1892: their churches, on which were, painted pict ures of the Savior and the saints, and they inarched with tneir heads down, crossing themselves as the- went It was at the biggest Russian Cnnrch of Samara that this procession wastormed and I happened to be there at the time it came together. I saw jjerhaps 100 men, women and children standing abont the door and stopped to photograph tliem, when the bells rang out and from all quarters the people began to assemble. There came hundreds of women in short red dresses and long red aproDS, wearing handkerchiefs about their heads, and these handkerchiefs were of all the colors ot the rainbow. There came hun dreds of bareheaded boys and bareheaded girls, and half of the barefooted women had bareheaded babies in their arms. There came hundreds of barefooted men with their hats in their hands or with no hats at all, and through this motley mass marched a number of bareheaded priests in black gowns with long black hair hanging down their backs. Tho Teopje PrayitiE Tor Bain. These entered the church and presently came out with the holy banners. As they did so many of the people fell prostrate oh the ground and some bumped their heads against the cobble stones in adoration. Every man and woman, boy and girl made the sign of the cross manytimes over, and as the priests moved onward the thousands of bareheaded, barefooted people went with them, crossing themselves and praying as they did so. In this way they marched throughout the town, and they will now go to some shrine in the country and there re peat their pravers for rain. I saw a similar S recession at Volsk the other day and I un erstand that the people are praying for rain all along the Volga. They are as a class very devout and thev oiler more prayers in proportion to their population than any other people in the world. Much of the American corn and flour came to Samara, and I have had talks with t-""' .-s''gSfe" r' FAMI2.E PEASANTS AT the men who had charge of it and who aided in its distribution. I am now traveling with Dr. J. B. Hubbell, of the American Red Cross Society, and we have visited many of the districts to which our supplies were sent As far as I can find every bit of the American gilts have been wisely and conscientiously distributed, and here at Samara the authorities would not give even samples of the corn to people who wanted them for planting, but who were not in a starving condition. There were manv such applications, but all were refused with the statement that they could get such samples if they wished from the peasants by giving other food or an equivalent for them, but that the corn came from America for the people and every grain of it should go to them. I was told that this food had saved the lives of thousands. Thn Grrmm Colonists Suffered tVorjt. This was especially so among the German colonist, of whom there were more than hundreds of thousands on the. verge ot starv ation. The Russians are very clannish and they believe in taking care of their own people first Thejesult is that of the hun dreds of millions of dollars given by the Russian people and by the Government very little if any went fo the Germans. Said Mr. Jacob Mueller, a German of means living in Saratov, who has devoted both his time and money during the past winter to the (amine: 'The American sup plies caved the lives of onr people. They came just at the right time. There was just enough of them to help us out and not a bit too much. It seemed as if the good God had managed it through you for us." A part of the Iowa corn reached Russia in a very bad condition. One compartment of the hold was filled with corn which had heated and it was steaming when it was taken out There was no place to bs found in Riga where the corn could be dried and it was put into the cars and rushed off to the famine districts. Care was not taken to keep this corn separate from some of the good corn and a number of carloads were spoiled. Some of the spoiled corn came to Samara and another lot of it went to Sara tov. The best of it was dried and given to the people for lood and the rest was used lor the cattle. The effect of the famine on stock of all kinds has been terrible. This Province of Samara is about as large as the State of .New York. It is to a large extent a stock raising country, and the people depend AN lKCIDEJfT OF upon their horses, cows and sheep to fur nish them their livelihood. During the pat six raontlis they have lost 1,500,000 sheep, 600,000 horses and at least 500,000 cows. IVedlnc Thir Hoofs to the Cuttle. "When the famine was at its worst they had nothing to feed their stock, and they tore the thatch off the'r huts and kept them alive tor months on this sort of food. The peasants' hut has a kind of box-like room under this ridge root of thatch, and this could be done and still leave a comparative ly sheltered place for the family. The ani mals ate this thatch greedily. It is made of Btraw, and it is on many of the houses fully 18 inches thick. "When it was not too old "it formed a fairly good food, but the supply was so scanty that hundreds of thousands of the cattle were almost dead before tne grass came in the spring, and the plowing had to be done. The horses would pull the plow for a yard or so and then lie down almost dead "in the furrow, and it would be perhaps a half Lour before they could be roused up to stagger on for another few yards and then lie down. Both cattle and horses were killed by the people for food, and in the winter horses were sold for 51 apiece for which the people could have gotten 550 and $100 the summer before. Germans came in and bought horses on speculation, and much stock was shipped out ot the country. In SaratVr nearly half of the horses wbi'cb the Promnce had last year have disappeared. The Keakness and the loss of the stock naturallApecessitated the planting of a much sniScr acreage than usnal, and though in many parts of Russia through which I have traveled tho crops are comparatively good there can hardly be enough to keep the people during the coming year without the aid of the Government or ontside help. The horses of Russia are among the finest in the world and the meat of the country will compare favorably with that ot England. In this region, however, such horses as I see show the effects ot the famine still, and you can count the ribs on the cattle in the fields. I ivlns on Two Cents a Day. I find it hard to give an idea of thefamine situation in Russia, the Russian peasants are so different in every respect from the people of the rest of the world. They live differently, they are governed diflerently and thev'do their work and manage their affairs 'after a different manner lrom the farmers of Europe or the United States. Their wants are so small that 2 cents a day per person lias kept thousands alive during this famine, and at Sartov I was told that 58 a dav had been the total cost of feeding 400 people tor weeks. This was among the Catholic Germans, and they each jjot one and a half pounds ot black bread a day apiece, and this furnished at cost amounted to 2 cents. In some places I found soup kitchens giving dinners at 2 cents a meal, and such kitchens are now established in all the towns. Think of feeding a man on 60 or 70 cents a month and you get an idea of how these people have been living during the past winter. This gave them rye bread and water with cabbage soup, and in some of the districts thev did not even have this. In parts of this Province of Samara they made a bread of dried grass mixed with a little bit of rye, and I have seen specimens of this. The same sort ot bread was made in Kazan and Nijni-Novgorod. A. decent American horse would turn np its nose at it In parts of Saratov the dead cattle and horses were made into soup, and at one place 200 gallons ot water, 40 pounds of rye THE BELIEF TABLES. and a hind Quarter of a dead horse formed the materials out of which the soup for the. village was tnaae. isear JNijm mere were instances of children biting their arms and fingers to satisfy their hunger, but I have so far heard of no cases ot cannibalism, though such have been reported. The Mortality Compnratlvely Small. The most of the deaths from the famine have been from typhus and disease, but con sidering the v'ast'number of destitute, rang ing from 30,000,000 to 40,000,000, the mor tality has been comparatively small and much less than it would have been among any other people of the world. The diet of the Russian peasant in the best of times consists of little more than cabbage soup, rye bread and potatoes. He gets fat on fiumpkins and cucumbers and Knows bnt ittle of meat Ue has now and then a piece of dry fish and his religion gives him many fast days, when he does not dare to drink milk or eat butter. I see everywhere the work of the Russian Government in behalf of-tbe famine suffer ers. I do not think that the machinery ot the Czar in managing his people is by any means perfect I think, in fact, it is far from being so, and there is probably as much oppres sion and corruption going on in the Govern ment here as in any Government in Christen dom. Still, I believe in giving the Rus sians credit for the good they are doing and for the millions they are spending to help the people. In Nijni-Novgorod. where I first struck the Volga, I found about 6,000 men at work widening the road and laying out public parks under the Government surveyors, and I was told their wages came out ot tne government appropriation lor the famine. Along the Volga at this point the road that runs below the city of Nijni is about 30 feet wide. It is being 'widened to abont 100 feet and the hills are being 'chopped down and snbstantial walls built These thousands of workmen receive about 25 centt a day and board themselves. Scenes Alon? the Ktver Front. The streets of Nijni were packed full of men wanting work and I found tnousands sleeping and loafing along the wharf under the blazing sun. Men bareheaded and bare-1 legged lay with their faces upturned, sleep ing on the cobble stoce street next the river at midday, and women with bags on their hacks and staffs in their hands wandered through the streets asking alms. Here and there along the roads were bread peddlers, THE FAMINE. who sold big loaves of black bread as large as a dish pan to such as could buy. Every loaf sold was weighed first and parts of loaves were sold at so much a pound. In company with the architect of the Govern ment I visited the relief works and watched the men at their labors. They worked as hard as any laborers I have ever seen, and when I asked as to the hours thev put in. for this 25 cents a day I was told that the day was the usual Russian laboring day during the summer. "And what is this?" I asked. 'From 4 o'clock in the morning until 8 o'clock at night," was the reply. "That seems to me to be a'verylong day." said J. ''Ohr replied the architect, "they don't work all of that time. They have two hours off at noon." Still this gave the men 14 hours of work, and as I looked at them digging and wheel ing, while the sweat rolled down their faces, cheerfully putting in this time at less than 2 cents an hour I could not help think ing of our workmen, who ate hardly satis fied with 2 for eight hours of similar work. Still 25 cents is good wages here, and you can hire men in good times for this sum. A Great People for l'raylne. I was at the works at the time that the 8 o'clock bells rang and the men stopped work. It was as light as midday in America and I could see these thousands of work men, in red shirts and caps and calico panta loons, trooping down from the hillside with their picfcs ana (novels in their hands. Eoh man had to take care of his own tools, and those who used wheelbarrows had to take the iron wheels of these in their hands, not daring to leave them, for fear they would be stolen. As each man stopped work he crossed himself and muttered a prayer, and as they came up to where I stood many of them were still praying. I wondered at this, and an English friend who was with me siid: "Yes, thev are praying now. They .are thanking God that the day is done. To-morrow morning they will again thank Him when they begin work, and they will pray again when they stop for dinner. They pray and thang God 4HPSBlrfc Praying for Sain. all the time, and when they have a chance to steal anything they even thank God for giving them the chance." This is rather hard on the Russian peas ant, but there is a grain of truth in it not withstanding. The people pray so much that they do it automatically, and though there is a great deal of religion among the people there is more superstition and form than real intelligent piety. Just before the men stopped work I visited the kitchen of the contractor, where about 700 men were boarded by him at 9 cents a day. The board was voluntary on their part, and they only patronized him because he had a better food for the money than anyone else. In r Knssian Contractor' KItcTien. Imagine a room about 30 feet square tak ing np the whole of n shed of logs and boards, and in this put a great oven abont four feet high, and so made that it forms a square box, filling nearly the whole of the room. This oven box is made of .brick, and in its top are great holes, in which are sunk six kettles, which will each hold about a hogshead of fluid and in which were boiling the evening ration ot soup for tho men. Some of this soup was of beans and another kettle was of cabbage, while in a third hogs head buckwheat mush was steaming away. I tatted all ot these, eating a bit with a wooden spoon out of the creat ladles handed me by the cooks, andl did not find them at all bad. In another part of the kitchen were stacks of great lqaves of the black bread which the peasants eat, and as we looked at this I asked for the bill of fare of this 9-cent eating house. The replv was that each man got four meals for this sum, two of which consisted of cold bread and water and the other two of which were hot Each man received four pounds of bread a day and the meals were taken in the lollowing order: At 7 in the morning, after working three hours on an empty stomach, the men eat a breakfast of bread and water. At 11 they knock off for dinner, and at this time they sit down at long tables and have some ot" this hot soup and bread. At 5 P. M. they take another lunch ot bread and water, and at 8, after they are through with their day's work, they have more soup, with a little of this buckwheat mush. In his soup each man gets three-quarters of a pound of meat, and the rations all told for the sum of 9 cents are better than can be gotten anywhere else in the world. They are far superior to what the peasants are accustomed to at home and they grow fat on them. How the Feasants Eat. I don't know whether this peasant board ing house contractor furnishes the dishes or not, but I suppose he does. I watched a meal of the workmen-and the extra expense in this regard could not be large. The men ate as I have seen the peasants in many places where they are served with dinners by tho famine relief people, and in fact just as they eat in their own homes. The only dishes were wooden bowls the size of those in which the ordinary American family chops its hash or the farmer's wife works her but ter. These bowls were about three inches deep and they were filled with a thick coup. The tables were knocked up, only of rough planks, snd were 2 feet wide and 100 feet long, with benches running along both sides of tbem so as to form seats for the men. There was no cloth upon them, but the white surface of each table was marked off with charcoal into squares, and each square had a number up to ten, and at the end of the ten squares a second series of ten num bers began. Each man had thus his own square place at the tabic, and one ot these bonis was set in the center ot each gang and contained enough tor ten persons. Instead ot a plate, a cup or a saucer, each man had in his hand a spoon of yellow nood which would hold about twice as much as the ordinary table spoon, and the men took their turns in dip ping their sooons into the. soup and carry ing it to their mouths. There was a rigid order about the whole and there was no chance tor a man to get a spoonful more than his share. As to this service.however, not one of the 100 long-bearded men at the table objected, and the majority of them would not know how to handle dishes of porcelain and knives and forks. Llvin: on 3 1-3 Cents a Day. The above is, as I have said, fat living for these people. They are furnished it bv a contractor, who makes some money out of it and who is dependent for his enstom on the excellency of his board. The famine relief kitchens, which are supported by the Government and charity, give dinners for 5 kopecks a piece or 2J cents a day. Dur ing the worst part ot the winter dinners were given for less than 1 cent a meal, and during the famine one such meal was given daily to thousands who conld not even pay this'amount for nothing. There' was one of these kitchen, a Nijni Novgorod, which was serving hundreds of the 2-cent meals to all who paid for tbem and giving them to such as could prove themselves destitute. For this 2 cents they gave a bowl of soup, with a bit of meat as big as the palm of your hand and a pound and a half of bread, and on fast days fish took the rdace of meat. One ot the customs in regard to this din ing room seemed to be an excellent one, and if eating rooms on a similar plan could be established in America it would be a good thing. This custom was the giving of beggars meal tickets instead of money. The proprietors of the establishment sold 20 of their dinner tickets for 50 cents and the citizens of the town bought these by the hundred, and when approached by beggars for aims they give them tickets for these 2-cent meals instead of money. Such tickets could not, of course, be used at the Vodka shops or saloons and they prevented fraud on the part ot the beggars. A Rnln Governor on the Famine. ' During a lunch which Dr. Hnbbel and myself took with the Governor ot Nijni Novgorod we had a long talk about the famine, and as Nijni Novgorod was one of the first districts to take measures to aid the people his story of the situation was interesting. The Nijni Governor saw that the famine was at hand long before it came. The crops had been bad for several years, and as far back as May, 1891, he sent for reports from the various districts of his province and found that out of 11, which comprised it. only two had enough to carry them through the winter. This is one of the greatest grain centers of Russia and the Governor at once bought a lot of grain on his own responsibility, and before he had even notified the Czar he had purchase! 2,000 tons of grain and sent it to the afflicted ot his province. 'He then applied to the Minister of the Interior for a loan for his people and got 500,000 or abont 1,000,000 roubles. Fbank G. Cabpenteb, TWO REDS OF PARIS. Anarchists Francois and Meunier Expected in America This Week. THE FRENCH CONSULS NqTIFIED. They Blew Up the Cafe Very in Paris and lhen fooled the Police. A PLOT TO KILL TIIEIR PK0SECUT0E rwarrriir Ton thb disp.atch.1 FFICIAL Instructions have been received by all the Trench consuls in the United States from the French Foreign Office to look ont for two Anarchists now believed to be on their way to this coun try. A big reward is offered for their appre hension, as they are the authors of the explosion at the Cafe Very, in Paris, when two lives were lost and a number of persons perma nently disfigured. It is known that several French detectives have been detailed to aid the consuls in their endeavors to effect the capture in addition to a number of others obtained here. The names of these men whose arrival is so anxiously awaited are Francois, alias Francis, and Meunier, alias Le Bossu. Last March, after the arrest of Ravachol at the Cafe Very for the dynamite explo sions in the Boulevard St Gemaina and the Rue Clichy, a man walked into the Cafe Very carrying a package. He approached the zinc, as the bar in a Paris liquor store is called, and having taken a glass ot wine went out into the street It was not no ticed at the moment that he had deposited his package just under the bar and omitted to take it with him on leaving. Presently a frightful explosion ocenrred, the restau rant was completely wrecked, and the pro prietor, Mr. Very, and a printer named Hamond were killed. He Gave Himself Away. The following dav the man Francois entered a cafe on the Boulevard Sebastopol, and, after drinking freelv, loudly declared himself to be an Anarchist. "All must yield to dynamite," he shouted repeatedly to the accompaniment of dra matic gestures, while an open mouthed Francois. crowd looked wonderlngly on. The fact that he was thus exploiting himself, how ever, soon attracted the attention of the police,-and the enthusiastic Anarchist was quickly arrested on suspicion. Almost at the same moment Meunier, the other of the two suspects, was arrested in another part of the city. At the police prefecture the pair suc ceeded in establishing an alibi in spite of an exhaustive examination. The whole affair was in effect sublimely ridiculous. Alter the grave and solemn interrogatory had been gone through both prisoners struck theatrical attitudes and performed two distinct roles. Meunier covered his eyes with a handkerchief and wept pro fusely, standing in the background, while the more assertive Francois exclaimed: "Can it be wondered at that I am an An archist when it is thus the law ot society can outrage manhood? Here am I here is that other victim of oppression (pointing to Meunier), deprived ot what is sweeter than life and dragged before the minions of the law to answer charges our persecutors know to be groundless. You restore to us onr freedom, bat you cannot make amends ade quate to the wrongs inflicted on tfsl" Kumbooz'ed the Authorities. This highialutin seemed to have its effect, for the officials began to feel conscience stricken, 'and so much so that M. Goron, the Prefect, tendered an apology to his prison ers, and expressing his great regret at their arrest actually gave them 75 francs out of his own pocket to help them in procuring sustenance while they'should be seeking work. With this they were allowed to de part, but conceding discretion to be the better part of valor they lost no time in crossing the channel to England upon the very funds thus supplied them by the kind hearted Prefect The capture of Francois and Meunier and the inevitable sequence their sentence to the guillotine will, if accomplished, close the blood stained chapter of the two months' reign of terror whieh afflicted the French metropolis last spring, and the credit of it all will be due to one man, the distinguished justWerM. Atthalin. This gifted judicial officer has attained consider able fame in Paris as a Juge d'Instruction. His methods are peculiar, differing al together from those customary with the majority ot simiiiar French officials. Or dinarily the Juge d'Instruction is of a rather bulldozing temperament and inclined to seek his ends by the exercise of coer cion. Not so, however, with M. Atthalin, whose policy is to assume a friendly con versational style when examining a person from whom he expects to extract informa tion. He worms himself smilingly into the confidence of the witness, who by degrees is deprived of bis caution and ends by becom ing convinced of the pure, disinterested good nature of his chatty friend, the Juge d'Instruction. A Tale of Betrlbntlve Jostle. Through his cross-examination of Chan martin was first revealed the existence of .the notorious Ravachol himself, and in a similar wav was traced the explosive depot 'established by the Anarchists after the rob bery of dynamite at Soissy. The An archist programme included the name of Atthalin among the victims it proposed to sacrifice, and, in fact, tbe popular impres sion that he was a marked man gained strength to the extent of almost causing an exodus of the other tenants from the house where he lived. The, circumstance which ptevented an attack being made upon him similar to those upon the other legal offi cials, MM. Bnlot and Benoit, is curious in deed, and the part played by him in track ing the very man who had -conspired to destroy him forms a tale of retributive justice. Ravachol had taken into his confidence a fellow Anarchist none other than Francois in pursuance of his plot to destroy the Juge d'Instruction. Their bomb was con structed w ith the greatest care and methodi cal calculation as to the proportionate quantities of each explosive used. All be ing prepared they went to a wine shop on the Boulevard de Clichy. "Now," they reflected, "we have forgotten nothing save the most vital part of alL We have ne- lected to acquaint ourselves with the ad ress of our victim. BadVe nom de Dleul We do' not know where le livesl" The pair of rascals lAoked each other in i jiPVlf the face and fairly laughed. They were truly in a dilemma, but that must be. over come. Ravachol slapped his thigh suddenly he had an inspiration. He asked for a directory of the citv of Paris, which was brought him, and he then, assisted by Fran cois, carefully consulted its pages under the letter A. Much to their astonishment the conspirators found their search a vain one. The address of Atthalin was not in the vol ume. Officially, indeed, the name was to be seen plain enough in the'list of judges of the Department of the Seine, but this was useless, as they had no intention of carrying out their designs in the precincts of the Palais de Justice. Now thev resolved to shadow the Judge in person for several days, but on each oc casion they lost .the track at a different point, as he each time disappeared into a house they had not observed him enter be fore. "It is evident," they thought, "that he resides with some reTative or friend, and we do not care to risk blowing up the wrong house. We will wait a little." Within three days Ravachol wag arrested, and "when examined by Atthalin admitted having in- Mnmler. tended to use dynamite on his questioner, and even explained the cause of his failure to do so. They Didn't Know Their Victim's Name. "But," responded the intended victim blandly, "you did not look under the right letter in the directory, mon ami. My nams is a composite one Laurent-Atthalin and it you had sought me under 'L' you would have found my address." It was the irony of fate, indeed the baffled assassin confronted calmly by the man he would have killed and given the needed information by the latter nonchal antly at a time and in a place when his power to harm was gone. After the flight ot Francois and Meunier to England the arrests were made of three Anarchists named respectively Bricou, Drouhet and Mascara, supposed to be im plicated in the Soissy-Etoiles robbery. The adroit manipulation of these men by M. Atthalin in the exercise of his inquisitorial powers elicited the truth about Meunier and Francois. The latter had constructed an engine of destruction and the former had visited the Cafe Very and deposited it there. Immediately npon the discovery of this fact two police agent were ient from Paris to London on the track of the fugitives, whom they were unable to locate, the snrmise being that secret intimation had been, given them of the state of affairs in Paris. They Are Now on the Ooan. The next thing heard of Meunier and Francois was that they had reached Bel gium, whither they probably went when scared out of England, but here again they must have received notification ot im pending dancer, as they again disappeared, turning up in London once more. The Paris detectives again went to London in searoh of them and were co-operating with the Scotland Yard authorities up to Satur day, July 23, when the hunt as far as Eng 1 and is concerned came to an end. It was established to the satisfaction of the pursuers that the fugitives bad em barked tbe previous Thursday on a sailing veesel bound for an American port Sev eral other vessels sailed for the United States upon the same day, and this threw a difficulty in the way ot the detectives in ascertaining the exact ship the criminals bad taken. The persons who gave the in formation as to their departure were unable to recall this point; they were only positive as to'the embarkation on some one of the America-bound vessels. It is calculated Francois and Meunier should arrive at a United States port some day this week. V. G.

The few do laboriously master the science of music so that, as composers, they may correctly and comsistently write out their inspirations, and so that, as per formers, they may rightly and clearly re produce these inspirations for the benefit of the listening many. The fact that the few do have to do this scientific work is what relieves tbe many of having to do It for themselves. The scientifi cally learned listener may get a certain In tellectual pleasure unknown -to others, bnt there is plenty of pleasure, and that the purest and keenest, lor those to whom the science of music is a sealed book. What people generally, and rightfully, ant are results, not processes. The result of all this scientific labor on the part or composer and performer, plus the Inborn talent that each must have In high degree, Is a musical art wort. And that resultant art-work moves and stimulates the bear er's feelings simply toy reason of his heaven-born capacity for enjoying music He does not need to bother himself about the process, anv more than he needs to know the chemical formnla or pro cess of manufacture of sugar In order to like it taste. Notice here that it takes Inborn talent to transmute science into art and that it is Inborn capacity which enables one to enjoy it. This inborn musical aptitude is een tlally tho same whether applied to composi tion, performance or listening. In greater or lesi degree it is common to the human racejustas reason is. The very element, conseauently, that makes an art work such, is the one element that everyone can share. The element that makes Beethoven's Fifth Symphony great, that makes it worth more than all the scrlbollngs of the countless learned Kappel-Meisters is a something that he did not and could not learn in the schools or books: it is a something breatned into him at birth by the same power that breathes into all mankind the capacity to enjoy that and other musical beantles. Tbe man who ponders awhile along this line of thought will not be so quick to say again, "Classical music is too much for me; I'm not up to it." And the singer or player who reflects thus may come to see that the supposed ig noramus whose interest he could not arouse by his well-meant endeavors was really not below bnt above his standard. Not nntil the artist, after overcoming difficulties men tal and mechanical, finally adds the all-important element of Inborn feeling, does he really reach the trne nrtlstio plane. And it is there he will find the common people waiting for him and ready to enjoy. .. Saint Sams to Visit Chlcalo. This comes officially: "Camille Saint Saens has accepted the in vitation of the Exposition to come to Chi cago next summer. Although the date is not absolutely fixed It is probable Mr. Saint Saens will choose either May or June for his visit. Ho will conduct programmes of his own compositions and will appear as organ ist and at chamber concerts. "The Bureau of Music Is much gratified to be able to make this announcement." So is everyone else gratified, nnless It be the croakers who cannot conceive of a big success for the Exposition music except by getting their own or their friends' fingers Into the pie. Camille Saint Saens is the greatest musi cian of his generation. That fa a pretty fair beginning. Ninth Volume ot the Tear vtoofc. i Secretary G. B. Wilson, or the Bureau ot Music, having at last been caueht by Editor G. H. Wilson, of the -Boston Jfurtcal Htratd, has now finally let loose his illustrious con frere. Compiler G. H. Wilson, of the "Musi cal Year Book of the United States." The ninth volnme of the Year Book, though it come tardy off, oomes welcome as ever. As might be expected this year, the retrospect and some of the more labor ious tables have been omitted. But the gen eral record of practlcallv all' the higher rnnlcal activities of the country last season comes out in fnlt force ana with all its wontedpermnnent value. Mr. Wilon's little book could not be spared. The preservations oftheie accurate and careful data of our musical Hie is an nniquo service for which the compiler deserves general thanks, which, probably, Is about all he gets for it Abont Our Or;an Recitals. One section of Mr. Wilson's yoar boolc 'seemed particularly suggestive after last week's discussion of the Allegheny free "organ recitals." It was the list of works played by Mr. Samuel P. Warren in his 20 orpan recitals (Nos. 203 to 221) at Grace Chnrch, New York. Eighty seven of the 108 composition'' were written for the organ , and they included numerous sonatas, organ symphonies and other works or two or more separate movements. The composers were represented a1 tollow: Bach, J. C , 1; Bach, J. S., 15; Beethoven, 3; Kossl. 2; Brahms, 1; Biosur, 1; Bruhns, 1; Back, 3; Buxtehude, 1: Capocci, 3; Clilpp, 1; Claussmann, 1; Clerambault, 1: Durand, 1; Eyfccn, I: Franclc, 1; Gacle, 3; Grlson, 4; Guil mnnt, 4; Handel, 3; Hesse, 1; Hopkins, E. J.,1; Huber, 1; Jadassohn, 1: King, Oliver, 1; Krebs, 1: Kretchmer, 1; Lemmcns, 1: Li-zt, 4; Jlendelssohn, 2; Jlerkel, S; Moeehelos. 1: Mozart, 2; Muffat, I; Pachel bel, 1; Paradies, 1; Parker, 4; .Tiutti, 1: Bonbke, 1: Rhelnberger, 3: Bitter, A. U., 2; Salnt-Saens, 1; Schcllenberg, I; Schumann, Clara. 1: Schuman, Eobert, 1: Selby, 1: Smart, 1; Stehle, I; Svendsen, 1; Tniele, lj Olrioh, 1; Wagner, 2: Wldor, 8; Wood, W. G.. L Such a list might contain rather too large a proportion ot intellectual" music for the popular free recitals in Al legheny. But if Mr. Warren had played exactly the same programmes fn his. admirable style over there, there is no doubt that the people would have had a greater and more lasting enjoyment than they got trom the pieces and playing they did hear. What Is wanted there Is a series of legiti mate organ piograinmes cho-en specially for popular audiences and played in a man ner to delight every listener and set the needed standard of organ playing for all. That is a work worthy ot a great organist, and the missionary wort lor tbe common people is tbe best part of it. C. W. S. BRASS BAND AND DRUM. CORPS Gt K early for the Campaign.
