THE MUSIC ' WORLD. What Antonin Dvorak Proposes to Do for the Art in America. THE PBIZES FOR COMPOSITIONS. rrogrammes of the irt Eocinly and Fast lnd Club Last Week. A LOCAL SUCCESS IN COJIIC OfERA It will be remembered that the National Conservatory of Music of America, when it announced the encasement of Antonin DTorak as its director lor the next three years, signalized that important engage ment by offering a series of liberal prizes for the best American compositions in vari ous forms, npon the merits of which the new director was to be one of the judges. The time at first set for the decision having arrived, Dr. Dvorak has writen the follow ing letter, which Secretary Edmund M. Btanton sends to The Dispatch: Sew Yore, Nov. L Mrs. Jeannctte M. Thnrber. rresldont or the Na tional Conservatory or Music or America: Tho magnitude of tlie task devolving upon rne or examining tlie MS. compositions sent In after the promulgation of your project for advancing the cause of music in America by an awaid of prizes Tor American compo sitions la so much gi eater than I was san guine enough to expect that, if 1 am to de vote to the task the time i equisite fora care Jul reading and comparison or tho works submitted to me, I shall have to ask thatthe time mentioned in your announcement ho extended. I am sure that those most interested In American art, especially in this particular manifestation in its behalf, the composers themselves, will be the first to recognize the nred ol study and deliberation on my part. If I am to hope for such good results as. from materials at liana, tlicie is every reason to believe may be attained. In thu J- conviction I beg you will make known that the outcome ot tho cencours cannot bo im parted to the public until March 11 proximo, lours very sincerely, As.toxis Dvorak, Dhector. To have the great Bohemian composer now settled on American soil means much to the cause or music throughout the coun try. TVhat 2few York thinks of his coining may be gathered from these fragments from Mr. J. G. Hnneker's pen in the JSccorder: Antonin Dvorak is a man about whom it Is nafe to predict almost anrthinr. Viewed at first as a comet in the musical Armament, by his genuine genius and na tive andacity he lias, in an age of petty mu sical personalities, forged to tho Iront. so that he ranks now as one of the greatest of living composers. In other words, Dvorak is the compeer of Johannes Brahms. Camillo Saint-Saens, Teter 'j.sbaikonsky, Anton Rubinstein et nl. To say this is to say much; besides, the Bohemlam composer has a flavor ot his own, which is paitly the result or his na tionality and of his own very pronounced Individuality. Thomas aud Seidl have made his muic popular, and his "Slavic Rhapsodies," wild tone poems, h's famous "Scheizoa Caprlcci osa," lor orchestra, and his truly bcautiiul songs have all made Dvorakalmoataciassic, o! at least a necessity in the repertory oJ the modern orchestra, , Of course .national coloring and rhythms J?La ftlsrgo (tirs m his music, but lately lie ias been quietly discarding such adventi tious aids, and lias been making music in the more universal t,ense. His is a stior.g, virile mind, and ol the heroic stamp. That his coming here will ntrcct our musi cal lile -;oes w llhout saying. .Nut alone will he teach composition and orchestration in liis on inimitable fashion, but, as a vlvf ly ing lorce, his influence will lie lar leaching. Above the dead level of meuiocio musical personages this Bohemian tout-is liko a Kiaiit, ai.u .urs. xnuruer lias onco moie proved ht-isclf a public benefactor. What Dvorak's active duties will be is indicated by his own words to a Herald re porter: "My work for the next Tew months," said be, "'will be almost wliollv dctotcd to tlie composition class at tlie conservatory and tho organization of a cho-m and orchestra by whlcn I can ilhistriiv what I mean. It is llfticult to teach symphonic composition nlcss you can show with a-i actual or- estr. vt hat is right and bat Is I ring. In . Trague Conservatory we have 3M pupils this ear mid quiio a respectable orches tra from amoiu the pupils. With so Jarge a number or pupils as you have in jour Sa tlonal Conservatory it ouztittn oe an eusy matter to organizs- an orchestin capable of playing every kind of music. Our course in 1'iagne, hotvever, lasts for six years, which 1 longer than we cm gut: here, nna we le urtut oar oichestra irom thu pupils in the Inst three years only. I see no rrason why ncshiiuld not have orchestral rehearsals tnicoa vicekat which the pupils in compo sition can hear illustration"-. "As the number ol pnp'Is nlio may apply for mv composition cias-es 1 know nothing, o: course. I only tako voting men w ho show decillcd pi-rmise In 1'raue I mid a class ot eight, or whom two will be widely heard of, l. eaily promise is any indication. If I get even two pupils of genuine piomise every cail shall be satisfied. Just at present rheieseemstobea dearth ot rising coin. jioets in i-ngland, France and Germany, :ind I shall not he disappointed if the anm is truo liei e. The bet e can do in tile c:ie is ti teach people to love the best music that can be played and to play it for them." Even the acquisition of Dvorak has not aj all sated Mrs. Turner's ambition lor her V cherished conservatory. Since the burning Bi "t-'ie Mptrosolhan Opera House she has been more than ever deirous ot organiz.ng again a truly National Opera, such as was Jrom the first deemed the natural comple ment to the National Conservatory. Sooner or later the far-reaching plans ot this plucky oman are bound to be realized. The name of Jeannettc M. Thurber is not unlikely to lead the list of America's mu sical benefactors some dav. An Evening IVIUi the Fine Arts. The Art Society's one hundred and righty-second reception drew to the Pitts burg Club Theater last Tuesday evening a very large number of the members and their friends to look at Mr. Charles A.

The Art Society evidently (.lands in favor with the best class of music lovers quite as much as with those whose interest is chiefly centered on some other of the fine arts. The East End Club's Concert. The East End Musical Clnb made its sec ond public appearance the first for the present season last Friday evening at New Orpheus HalL Bad weather and counter attractions combined to limit the numbers of the audience; some misunderstanding left the hall cold and dark up to the people's arrival, delaying things for over half an hour and still other depressing influences bore heavily upon both performers and lis teners while they struggled tnrough the following programme: rAKTL, Sanctui XltMa" Mozart East Ld Mcsical olcb.

The depressing circumstances alluded to ought not to have prevented the needed correction of the programme proof, but they did entitle the singers to receive more sympathy than criticism. For this reason no attempt will be made te review the per iormance beyond referring to the particu larly creditable manner in which Miss Grace Miller's delightful voice and method enabled her to triumph over adverse fate. Nor can much be said of the "Ode to Co lumbus," written and composed by Mr. Joseph G. Breil. It is a clear case ot piece (Voccation, written hurriedly for a particular date and not a proper criterion whereby to judge its author's ability. A pleasing "idea appears in the beginning of the solo number, "'Twas Midnight," but the extension and repetition of the latter part wanders frqra that text. Another pleasing efiect is produced by the simple choral chords against slow arpeggii, with which the coming of daylight is made known. Outside of these points neither the performance nor a subsequent examina tion of the score disclosed ought to be placed to the credit of the piece. The other side of the picture, under the circum stances, need not now be unveiled. A Ccmic Opera of Local Origin. It is more pleasant to turn to a brief word about another new work of indigenous growtlL A comic opera or rather a two act operetta of the pattern lately in vogue entitled 'Tiince for a Day, or the En chanted Cobbler," has oeen written by Mr. George C. Jenks an.l composed by Mr. Jnhu Gcrnert. An orchestral rehearsal, given the other day as a kind of "prdfes sional matinee," revealed enough of its mu sical quality to ground a prima facie ver dict in its favor. Details cannot be considered at present, but the general efTect of Mr. Gernert's orchestral score was undeniably good. It does not pretend to rise into the higher oneratic atmosphere. It is just such music as has been most popular in the light operas of the day. Without much melodic origin ality, the airs are graceful and fluent. Thev seem to be eminently "singable" and are within the reach of the class of singers usually found in such companies The strongest point is the orchestration, which is much more elaborate and ingeni ous than in the other works referred to. One ensemble number is built up and de veloped in a fashion showing no little con structive skill. Due variety in rhythm.style and combination has been preserved. All in all, Mr. Gernert's music is above the average of its class, and, if that kind of operatic amusement continues in its present popularity, there is no reason why this work should not meet with success. .. rCotcs Struck on tho Cables. Last night's London cablegrams contain the following items for musical readers: Sir Augustus Harris presented Wagner's "Tristan und Isolde" this week at Covent Garden. The work had been in rehearsal for some time, but the company was rather asciatc:) one, and tho opera failed to attract thu crowded houses that aio seen during the regular season. The only efficient parts weio those ot Bispham, an American singer who appeared as Karwenal, and Abramoff, a Russian, ho sang as .Kino- 21arl;e. Both made decided successes.

Kreubiel loetnred at the Brook lyn Institute of Arts and Sciences a week ago on the subject or "Chamber Mnsic," which he termed tho loftiest but least ap preciated form or music, the aiistocrapy of the art. Tho illustrations were played by three world-lamousurtlsts, Adolph Jlrodsky, Anton HeKklnguud Arthur Friedheira. Op ltnbinsteln's appearance at the new Bechstein Hall, Berlin, last month, a corre spondent writes: "The programme con sisted ot his own compositions. The Cyclo pean tents of Rubinstein are on every musi cian's lips. The ramous pedagogue Loes chorn Insists that Ruhinstfin has not alone retained his former technlc but added con siderably to it." Mn. ETrtELBEnTNEVirr, who will probably come home from Berlin by the Jirst of tho year if not sooner, has been busily engaged in composition or late. Some new works tor orchestra are now on his desk. The famous Arm of Schott's Sons, in Mavence, who have been printing Mr. Xevin's leccnt MSS.. have written him to send them evervthinr lin im written, and are now going to get out a com plete edition ror Germany, Franco and Kus sia. That means something. Dr. Alexander C Mackenzie told an in terviewer In London the other day that he had not decided what works he would pro duce at tho World's Fair, but that they would probably be "The Rose or Sharon," Bethlehem" and another work. He described "jssMilehcm" as being somothlng in the stylo or the old passion or mystery plays. He added that he hoped to gain some usetnl experience in America that would prove or beneflt,to his pupils. Accordwo to an item now on Its travels, Moody and Sankey have received over SI,200,000 in royalties from the sales or their "Gospel Hymns." Tho nccni-acy or the amount may well be doubted.

Such Soor specimens of any other art could never ave attained that degree or popularity, even with the aid of some equivalent to the revival excitements that have boosted tho Gospel Hymns."

CHILDEEN ON WHEELS Medical Testimony as to the Benefit of the flicjcle Craze. CORRECTING DEFECTS IN PHOTOS. The Beating- of the Mying- Heart Made Visi ble to the Naked tje. NEW APPLICATIONS OP ECIEXCE fWRtTTEK TOR TOE DlsTATCTt.1 E. B. Tamer, in considering the Dr. question whether youns: children between the ages say ol 6 and 12, should be allowed to cycle, and, Jf allowed, how much they may indulge in the pastime without in curring the risk of injury, maintains that tne subject is one on which no man can pro nounce dogmatically or lay down strict and invariable rnles concerning. AVhat for one small boy or cirl might be merely healthy and beneficial exercise, for another might mean physical rnin. But while each case must be judged on its own merits, one fundamental principle must be clearly enunciated, namely, that no young child with any organic weakness, whether of heart, Jungs, joints or nervous system, should be allowed to mount a machine under any circumstances whatever. Setting aside such natural disonalinca- tions, the exercise of cycling, promptly rrgniated and adjusted to the capabilities ot the individual, is unquestionably one of the best forms of recreation that can be partaken of by children of both sexes at an early age. It develops the body, and the self-reliance and resource entailed by the management of a maehine tend to strengthen and enlarge the mental and in-', tellectual faculties. A few simple precau tions, however, may insure good and avert evil results. As to the age that a child should begin: JJor most children six is quite early, and even for some six is too early. Great care should be taken in choosing and fitting a machine to a young rider; an old, ill-fitting crock may produce deformity or disease. The machine should be light, of course, the gearing low enough to admit of a short crank throw (four inches is generally ample for a child of six-or seven), and the saddle and spring properly adapted to the weight and size of the rider. Most important of all is the length of the reach. This should be quite short, and the child should be able easily to touch the pedal at its lowest, point, with the heel. Nothing is more injurious than a reach so long that the unfortunate boy seems to be riding on a rail, Just touching the pedals with the tips of his toes. A saddle too tar back and hands too far forward will cause a curved spine and a permanent camel-like hump. Two things that must be insisted on in bnying cither a bicycle or a tricycle for a young rider are that the peak of the saddle should be two inche behind the crank axle, and that the-handles, should be so broucht around and back that the child can sit perfectly upright on the machine.

At the exhibition of the Camera Club, just held in Condon, If. Van der Weyde, whose name has been associ.it ed with some of the most beautiful effects ever obtained in photography, exhibited for the first time a remarkable machine which he calls the "photo corrector." By this machine he claims to be able to correct on the negative such defects-as abnormally large hands or feet, deficiencies in stature and other things whieh so irritate the vanity of sitters. Hitherto these matters have been lelt to the operator, who has rerae lied them by putting a small man by a very small chair, so that be will Jook big by 'contrast; and placing large hands and feet as far as possi ble Irom the .lens. Hence the sitter has had to be "arranged" in a most uncom fortable position, and undereo physical as well as mental torture. Mr. Van der Weyde's invention enables the most minute changes to he made in any part of the pict ure. An eve can be made fuller or rounder, the unshapliness of a nose can be modified and the iulness of the cheeks can be accentuated or diminished at the desire of the sitter. It may-be doubted whether photographers will show much alacrity in availing themselves of an invention which wonld seem to increase their responsibili ties to such an appalling extent. Another remarkable outcome of modern invention is the practice of combining skies with land scapes 'irom diflerent negatives, and the principle is being applied to figure and landscape work with truly remarkable re sults. Tlie Disease of Prickly Heat, The af-'ection known in hot climates as "prickly heat" is not confined to the tropics. Certain occupations induce it. Fur example, cooks, bakers, grocer?, brick layers and washerwomen hare it, aud in a very painful and serious degrefe sometimes. It is a non-contagious disease of the skin, characterized by the appearance of small, hard papules, slightly red, accompanied by severe itching. The disease appears on different parts of the body, but generally on the front cf the forearms and hands, the sides of the neck and the face. It is often due to irregularities in diet or habits. The best treatment is simple uustimulating food and drink, and proper attention to the gen eral health. A daily cold or tepid bath should be resorted to. This affection is the cause of thepeeling of the skin ot the hands of some people in the fall, apart from the effects of sunburn. The Action of the Heart. Jf. Marey, the French scientist, whose investigations of animal movements by the means of instantaneous photography and the zoetropc are Well known, lias now suc ceeded in rendering the beating of a living heart visible to tne eye. It is said to be possible by this new method to follow and properly examine all the phases of the heart's movement. tl TVtTT-ft T.lttlA Enrlv .RIsai-. pt ntll I or biliousness, sick headacne, malaria. si bargain This Presidential election week we have determined to make the banner bargain week ot the season, in HlKS- IEKY, GLOVES, UMBRELLAS.! nTRIMMOGS AND CLOAKS irresisM ible values will be offered for the next six days, beginning to-morrow Mon day morning.
