Mr. Hambourgs American tour began at Boston on November 3 and 4. where he won distinct success, playing the Rubinstein concerto in D minor. No. 4, with the Boston symphony orchestra. The following week he played the Satntfiaens concerto tn C minor, and Rubinstein’s concerto with the Boston symphony orchestra In New York, Phila-

This is What Mr. Henderson, of the New York Times, says of him: "Mr. Hambourg Is a pianist of uncommon power and influence.

▲ NEW MOSZKOWSXI CONCERTO

The announcement that tbs Mosskowakl

red by Mr. Pierce, at

concerto to be play«

the Muslkveretn concert, next Monday night, is brand new, lends Interest to the occasion. The concerto, which Is In E major, op. 6S, U dedicated to Josef Hoffman, a pupil of Modskowski. Mr. Pierce, who is also a Mosskowakl pupil, and who received the concerto directly from Its composer, may be-expected to interpret it with peculiar insight, through his personal knowledge of Mosskowskl's methods. The .work has been played with signed success by Mosskowakl himself In London. Mr. Pieros had expected? to be the first to play It in thU country, but Emil Liebllng will be just five days ahead of him, having selected It for his solo piece at the Mendelssohn Club concert, in Chicago, to-morrow night. The concerto Is described as not being cast In strict classical form. The first movement la hereto and brilliant, and is yet full of melody. An andante, of somewhat Oriental and sensuous character leads Into a captivating scherzo, which is evolved from a seemingly unimportant motive of the andante. The technical difficulties Of the work are tremendous.

A sensational report was circulated In

the German newspapers the other day to the effect that the Wagner Theater at Bayreuth had been examined by state inspectors and condemned as unsafe. Official information from Bayreuth stamps

this report as a pure invention Vladimir de Pachman, the pianist, says:

"Boston is ths musical center of America, with Chicago a close second. New York has fallen behind, and does not

give the support to the art one would expect of so large a city." Still New York Is the only city that is equal to a pro-

tracted season of grand opera.

Sir Arthur Sullivan, the London Daily News remarks, has agreed to write another comic opera for the Savoy, in as-

sociation with Mr. Hood, the librettist of

“The Rose of Persia.’’ T1

Phe new opera

will not be ready till the end of the year, nor, as "The Rose” seems to have settled

down to a thorough success, Is it at all likely to be wanted till then. Sir Arthur has had before him a sketch of a libretto by Mr. Hood, dealing with a party of Australian bushrangers. These are turned from their wild ways by a miner’s pretty daughter, who comes to live with them In camp, and threatens to marry the worst of them, an English tenor. There is also, it is rumored, in this libretto a scene on a Pacific Island, peopled by a party of society amateur actors, ban-

island or to convert the affair into a

limited liability company.

James Huneker writes thus fascinatingly of Chopin, In the February Scrib-

ner: Chopin is not only the poet of the piano, he Is the poet of music, the most

poetic of composers. Compared with him. Bach seems a maker of solid, polyphonic prose; Beethoven a scooper of stars, a master of growling storms, Mozart a spinner of gay tapestries, Schumann a divine stammerer. Schubert of all the composers resembles him in his lyric prodigality. Both were masters of melody, but Chopin was the master workman of the two and polished, after beating and bending his theme fresh from the fire of his forge. Chopin invented many new harmonic devices, he untied the chord that was restrained within the octave, leading it Into the dangerous but delectable land of extended harmonies. And how he chromatlcized the prudish, rigid garden of German Harmony, how he moistened it with flashing, changeful waters until it grew bold and

brilliant with promise!

At a conference of the Incorporated Society of Musicians, in London, recently, says the London Times, there was given a performance of Handel’s little-known oratorio, "Alexander Balus," organized by Dr. Maim, of Cambridge, the wellknown Handellaji enthusiast. In addition to the spice of novelty attached to a work that Is, and has been for long, little more than a name, a special interest belonged to this performance, *n that it was sought to reproduce, so far as is practically possible, the conditions that existed in Handel's own time. One mistake, very common In modern attempts to revive Handellan traditions, was avoided; the proportions between orches-

tra and chorus, which In the eighteenth

the opposite of

century were exactly

those that now obtain, were carefully observed. There was, as against a small chorus of twenty-four carefully-selected

A Bauermeister Reminiscence.

Any one who has ever seen Mile. Bauermeister and Edouard de Resske will appreciate the following reminiscence of Bauermeister’a, as related In the New York Times: "One evening I remember I was going over to Philadel-

phia, where I was to sing Martha In ‘Faust.’ I didn’t want to get around too

esxly, so It was about ten minutes of 8 when I reached the stage door, and there were Mr. Grau and Mr. Strakosch waiting for me, and wanted to know wby I was so late. ‘Where have you been?' they said. ‘Siebel has not come, and you must sing the part.’ 1 ., ’But I can’t,' I said; ‘I haven’t any clothes. 1 have only just finished my din-

ner.’

‘Well, you will have to do it,’ they

said.

"There wasn’t much time to think, for Siebel went on at 8:20. I didn’t have any tights, but Edouard de Reske volunteered to lend me his. He Is a big man, and you can Imgaine how they fitted me. They doubled them over and over at the foot, and rolled them over and over at the waist. They must have rolled them ton times. They put my wig on. and at 8:20 1 hopped on and sang Siebel. "The woman who usually sang the part of Siebel was very tall and stalwart, and SiebeTs dress must have reached nearly to my ankles, though they pinned It up. "Those are the times that take It out of you, though going on without time to reflect I don’t know but you make more of a success than If you had ail day to worry about it. That’s how my lifetime has been spent, trying to do my beet for my Impresario. When I sang the Queen for them In Chicago they sent me 8200, and when I sang Siebel. they sent me 8100.

He was Injured, he says, by the cash register falling on his head when the conductor attempted to ring up his fare. James Hanna also demands damages from the company to the amount of 8600. His wagon was struck by a car. and both he and his horse, he says, were Injured.

THE SYMPHONY CONCERT.

Every element of good fortune attended the Symphony concert last night. The threatened rain withheld, there was wellnigh a full house, In gala attire, the program was perfectly chosen and remarkably well played, the soloist proved, at least, a popular success, arid there was throughout the concert every evidence or

good management.

The music w-as mostly of the hlxhly modern sort. Schumann, whose first symphony was, in point of length and prominence, if not in Interest, the chief work of the evening, is the first of modern German romanticists, and Tschatkowski,whose “Romeo and Juliette" overture, “Marche Slave” and waltz from the ‘‘La Belle au Bols Dormant’’ ballet, made up the orchestral list, rode on the last and topmost wave of Russian inspiration. The overture was the number that demanded from the orchestra its severest efforts, and from the audience the closest consideration. This was true not so much on technical grounds, but from the greater demand In complexity of feeling and treatment, as well as imaglnatibn which this composition makes over that of any other that was presented. Its very intensity calls for an Intentness In listening to it that the symphony made not at all. Lose one bar, and you lose your way In this maze of Russian harmonies. But the effort to keep tho path pays, for though this is changeful music, it is charmful. too. The rhythms are seductive, the coloring Orientally rich; other music sounds white beside Tschaikowski’s. If, as Sidney Lanier said, music is love in search of a word. Tschaikowskl found that word in his "Romeo &nd Juliette" overture. It is program music, in g way. and yet it is not too definite: its potency and its beauty are undeniable, but it is the beauty of fantasy—it is mad, passionate, splendid music that seems to come from a world of ecstatic dreams and to carry one back thither. Here is what Jaanes Hunoker says of it: “It is evidently a work of the composer in ibe first outburst of his genius. It is a magnificent love poem, full qt the splendors of passion and warring hosts. How it 8 trikes'fire from the first firm chord! Imperial passion flames in It, and tha violins mount in burning octaves. The Juliette theme is sealed with the pure lips of a lofving maid.” It is too bad that after such a rhapsody

Mr. Huneker should go on to say that

for

Tschaikowskl will be forgotten. Perhaps he will be, but considering the Pathetic and the Tragic symphonies, the string quartets and the “Romeo and Juliette’’ overture, it seems ungracious to predict such a fate within two years after his death. The slow Introduction to the overture by double basses and bassoons might be understood as the chorus mak-

too generous use of piano and forte in It, whereas if taken more lightly, It would

really have been more effective. The symphony was read by Mr.

Schneider in a muslcianly manner. The composer’s scheme was clearly unfolded, its purpose made manifest There was a just balancing of themes, and altogether a conception of the work as a whole was evinced. The ideally beautiful choral parts In it were admirably sustained; the suave phrases that usher In the larghetto were smoothly bowed by the strings; the antiphonal effect in the first trio of the scherzo was poetically rendered, and the dance theme that follows the Introduc-

tory chords In the allegro was tripped off with elfin daintiness. Throughout the

work there was vigor and decision of accent and a noonday brightness. It was an Invocation to joy. Schumann has been called the ’ divine stammerer," but In this symphony his tongue has loosened; here,

at least, he speaks fluently, goldenly. The w'ork of the orchestra was appre-

ciatively applauded. The singer, Madame Saville. was . also heartily received. She has a charming voice, one that Is even, pure and true. Besides being most agreeable in quality, it was absolutely controlled. Her enunciation was admirable; every w-ord was as distinct, when in Italian, German. French or English, as if she were speaking instead of singing. In this respect she might w T ell be taken as a model by many concert and choir singers. She sang first, Verdi's “Ah, fors e lui,” from ’’Traviata," and later a group of songs, Wagner's “Trseume," Massenet’s “Ouvre tes yeux bleus,” and “It Was a Dream,” by Cowen. To these she added a Brahms lullaby and a second French song. In the aria, she did not quite reach the dramatic bights possible, but she sang it, nevertheless, delightfully, lending herself easily to Its rhythm, and at the end showed that she could "shake,” if not quite equal to Sembrich, In the approved Italian fashion. Something of the sentiment and heart in the songs she sang was missing, too, and yet she gave genuine pleasure in them. The piano accompaniments to the songa

were played by Mrs. S. L. Kiser.

The Slavic march of Tschaikowskl invites to rhapsody eqqally with the “Romeo and Juliette" overture. The minor theme that opens it has the same haunting effect of finality as the minor theme in the Grieg sonata in F major for piano and violin; it is a dead march; the silver chord has been loosed, the golden bowl has been broken, the pitcher broken at the fountain. The flutes are employed with singular effect, giving a strange, bizarre coloring. The rhythm is particularly fine and moving. Relieving the march theme there is a gentler, lighter melody, which is, however, pensive, while. again and again, returns, like the beating of a mighty heart the pulsing march melody, each time, with increasing effect. Finally the strings make a tremendous upward dash; brasses and wood winds Join the outburst at its bight, and bring about a tremendous climax, after which the mel-

ody continues fortissimo, punctuated by the clash of cymbals and the beat of

drums. The coda is thrilling. Beginning in gloom, the march ends in joy, the violins singing In a rush of triplets a song of liberty and triumph to a terrific accompaniment from the brass and wood

choirs.

It is doubtful U the difficulties of this march were fully appreciated by the audience. They are legion, and it was for this reason that it was not placed last on the program, as was originally intended. It was thought that as the final number it might receive less attention than If it appeared earlier on the pro-

AMUSEMENT NOTES.

The last performance of "The Limited Mail” at the Park to-night will conclude cne of the most successful engagements of the season. The Reilly & Woods burlesque and vaudeville show, which comes to the Empire Theater next week, is said to be stronger and better than ever before. J. L. Harris, ahead of the largest colored company on the road, that of Williams & Walker, is here, arr%nglng matters for next week’s engagement at the Park.

Divorce is the main theme In the story surrounding “Mile. Fifi,” which comes to English’s, Friday and Saturday, and there is no infidelity in it, so it must be affirmed to be moral. “Why Smith Left Home," George H. Broadhurst’s farcical comedy, which opened a two-days’ engagement at English’s, this afternoon, will be repeated to-night and to-morrow evening. Hoyt’s farcical skits have always been good drawing cards In this city, but the engagement of “Chinatown,” beginning to-morrow at the Park, which holds the record for the longest continuous run In America, is more than likely to score another record here if one can iudge by the heavy demand for seats so early in advance. Harry Gllfoil, for years one of the chief funmakers of the Hoyt forces, and so popular that jt was all Mr. Hoyt could do to get him away from England, where he made a tremendous hit last summer, is at the head of the “Chinatown” company, as Welland Strong, the funny Invalid.

Keeter’s photograph gallery, at 39% South Illinois street. The partitions and wood work of the room were scorched, and part of the stock, including all of the negatives, destroyed. The fire started In a closet, and is thought to have been caused by spontaneous combustion in a mop saturated with oil, which was hanging inside. Several holes were burned in the floor, allowing the water to run into the room below, occupied by Ntcoll, the tailor, damaging the stock to the extent of about 8400, on which there Is no Insurance. The building Is owned by V. T. Malott, and was damaged to the extent of about 2100, covered by insurance. The loss in the studio could not be estimated by the proprietor, as much of the stock can not be replaced. He is insured. At 9:30 o’clock last night, the department was called to C. E. Duvall’s wall paper store, at 44 East Ohio street, where an overheated stove had started a fire. The upper floors of the building are used for living rooms, and the occupants were greatly excited when it became known that the store was on fire. The fire was put out with a small loss. A barn in the rear of Allen Cayloris residence, 826 North Missouri street, was slightly damaged, last night, by a fire, which Is thought to be of incendiary ori-

gin.

The sale of seats for "At the White Horse Tavern” will open at English's to-morrow morning. The Initial production takes place on Monday evening, and the engagement is for the first half of next week, with the entire original production, cast, scenery and costumes, as seen at Wallack's in New York. The cast was selected by Daniel and Charles Frohman from among the most gifted members of their companies, and comprising nearly forty people. Play-goers may anticipate an entertainment full of delightful love episodes, laughable complications and alive with interest from rise to fall of curtain. Few plays this season at the Grand have aroused more interest than “She Stoops to Conquer,” which the stock company Is playing so admirably this week. It is doubtful if any modern comedy has gone so well with the audiences at that theater as this fine old play by Oliver Goldsmith. The hearty laughter with which the numerous funny situations are received, shows conclusively that Goldsmith was a far-seeing playwright. The revival of this play at the Grand Is of a superior character. Even Stuart Robson’s elaborate effects, seven or eight years ago, are equaled by those at the Grand. It is the most attractive costume play yet presented there, and the women of the cast are charming In their picturesque, quaint old gowns. The properties used have also been chosen

In no way can this gray matter be made except by the action of phosphate of potash upon albumen, and this mineral should be Introduced into the body Just as It comes from nature’s laboratory, and not from the drug store. The system to more or. leas fastidious about taking up the needed elements, and, as might be suspected, it will favor the products of Mother Nature rather than the products of the drug shop, however valuable they may be for oertain uses. Athletes,, lawyers, journalists, doctors ministers, business men and others, who earn their living by the use of the brain, are using both Postura Food Coffee and Grape-Nuts Food. Both products are manufactured for a reason. They were originated by an expert, and the regenerative value of both the Postum Coffee and the food has been demonstrated beyond question. All first-class grocers sell both Postum and Grape-Nuts, and the Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., manufacture them at the Battle Creek factories.
