two concerts day for year, If need be,
without repeating o single number. In
the Interpretation of the works of such
masters of classic music as Mozart,
Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Handel, Hay
den, Gounod, or indeed of any composer
whose compositions are deemed worthy
of reproduction, 1t Is not enough that
each one be given accurately; that the
time and movement be correct; that this
or that instrument does not lag or go too
fast. There is something more needed.
There must be expression; the soul of the
music must be brought out, whether it
be shout of triumph or q wall of agony
the ripple of running waters or the roar
of the storm driven waves OF the ocean.
To say that one plays correctly, but
without expression, is to say that his
music is mathematician thing of time,
of notes and rests, without life, without
power either to sway the emotions or
arouse the feelings.
Pro fessor Hecker understands this, as
every master of music understands it,
and when he waves his baton and as
sumes the leadership Of his band, those
whose waiting ears are greeted by the
strains of music that are at once the per-
lection of harmony and expression, re-
oognize the fact that they are listening
to band of musicians, each lover of
all that is great and grand IN music,
and each an interpreter of all that
is best in the greatest and grandest
work.
THE AFTERNOON CONCERT.
That the concerts of yesterday after
noon and evening were enjoyed goes
with out saying. The well-arranged pro-

THIEF AND TRAITOR
The Terrible AraisameHt of Matt Quay by the
New YORK Evening Post"-CoruPton-
ist, Drunkard and Debauehse

New YORK. April 1.-THE Eccniag
Post of this city, yesterday printed the
following: The New York World near
Is TWO months ago printed a series of
accusations of very serious character
against Matthew Stanley Quay, United
States Senator from Pennsylvania, The
story filled between fifteen and sixteen
columns of the World, and was in eight
chapters, the first seven chapters being
printed ON February 10 and the last
chapter on March 3. 1t was apparently a
complete history of the Pennsylvania
politicians life from his birth To the pres
rnt time. Specific charges OF criminal
conduct. embezzling the moneys belong
ing To the State, bribery and attempted
bribery were made against him. Par
ticulars were given of the stolen money
being restored through the generosity
OF United States Senator Don Cameron,
and of Quay'S being thus saved from the
penitentiary. Numerous other charges
OF general political corruption. trcach-
cry. drunkenness and dcbauchery We're
made at great length. I'm consequence,
however, of the generally untruStworthy
character of the Worlds stories, little
or no attention was paid to the matter.
The newspapers throughout the country
merely mentioned it.
This and other influences led us to
make am independent investigation of
the charges preferred against Quay by
tine World, and We have found on unim-
peachablc testimony Cn many cases the
testimony of Quay's own friendS) that
these charges were substantially true.
T As to the charges Of embezzling State
moneys. and the use of State money for
speculation. the evidence in detail OF
guilt is overwhelming. The main facts
contained I'm the World story, therefore,
together with other essential details,
are accordingly reprinted in the Ercn-
inn Post.

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. April l1.-San-

dcrs drew the short term. expiring In
1893. and Powers the long term, cXpir-

Among the bills introduced was one
| by Mr.. Reagan proposing an amendment
to the Constitution for the election OF
Senators by vote OF the people. Bills
making appropriations for public
buildiugs were taken from
the calender and passed as follows:
Mansfield Ohio. 100000; Hot Springs

Mr.. Faulkner moved 10 strike it ont and
made a strong argument against 1t. Mr.
Cockcrcll made strong address de-
nouncing Republican civil service pre-

lost. Mr. IIoar after heated debate
with Mr. Plumb, finally proposed an
amendment that the examination for
appointment Of the examiners should

dent. which was carried.

In the course of the debate on the
motion Mr.. Hoar said il was perfectly

Mr.. Plumb hope that the Senator

Mr.. Hoar-I do not believe that the
