Pschman, the Pianist.

Last Tuesday evening Messrs. Henricks
& Webster's artistically promising "Star
Course" st Carnegie Hall, Allegheny, was
opened by Vladimir de Pachman, the emf
nent pianist.
This time, as on his former appearance
last spring, the Polish player confined his
programme exclusively to the works of
Frederic Chopin, the greatest of those tone
poets by whom the piano has been preferred
as their medium of expression. TUESDAYS
programme, however, was framed on broader
lines than prevailed before. Five of its ten
numbers represented with unusual
fuIlness Chopin's more robust and heroic
moOds-what may be called the masculine
side OF his character, as distinguished from
the feminine side shown in those of his
works most affected by school girls and
parlor pianists. Three of these broader
works-the superb Polonaise-F Fautaisie, op.
81, the brilliant Allegro de Concert, op. 46,
and the noble, dignifed Fantaisie in F
minor, op. 49-are very seldom seen on con-
cert programmes The other two-the A
fat Ballade and the Military" Polonalse-
are quite familiar.
The programmes promise that at last we
should have the vail drawn aside and re-
celve full revelation of the noblest work
OF this popularity misunderstood composer
cannot, however, be said TO have been fully
realized in the performance. On first hear.
ing Mr.. Pachman last spring, it was said
that his limitations seemed 20 lie in this yery
direction of broad, elevated, sustained
power. The performance in question con-
hrmed that question.

you, for seeing you!
Another roll of music exposes few bars
presumably belonging to the title page lying
beside it labeled "SfrJonie, Conlportrt von
Mozart" Scattered around among these artl-
cles lie several playing cards, a glass and
crockery beer seideL On music stand rests
an envelope addressed "ReTTn f. Zdenker,
Hochedelgeb, in SonderShonsen."
This is the name of the man, then famous
trumpeter, to whom Mozart presented the
pipe, according to the title record accompany,
ing it 1t descended to his nephew, Kari
kaemmerer, a court musician at Sender,
shausen, by whom it was given to Mr.. Carr
Weitz, the trombonist, of this city, who mas
now presented it to DR.. Walters as a token OF
esteem.
With so straight a chain of title, so well
borne out by the character of its decoration.
this certainly seems like q bona fide relic OF
the greatest of composers. 1ntrinsically it is a
very interesting and curious object, at all
events.

An Innovation in the Way Of Choir for St Peters

With reference to the May Festival to be

was received last night from Mr.. Retter.
who has been in New York to engage attrac-
tions:
81 have made arrangements for the entire
plant of the Festival to be given in New
York the first week In May, 1891, for the
dedication of the new Music Hall built by
Carnegie. This will include the complete
Metropolitan Opera House Orchestra and
all the principal solo artists"
lnasmuch as the new Music Hall alluded
to is expected to be one of New York's mu-
seal lions in chief and as the Festival for
its dedication is being planned upon the
magnificent scale befitting such en- occasion,
Pittsburg may rest content at the prospect
OF having that event duplicated here. Our
May Festival of 1891 promises to be indeed
q worthy climax to a season that opens with
the most brilliant prospects yet held out to
the Pittsburg public.

Vested Women In the Choir.

IHE DISPATCH mas often QeploreQ the
revival in our Episcopal churches of that
ecclesiastical polity which forbade women
to be heard in the conduct of public worship,
even as choristers. The gradual Introduc-
tion OF boy-choirs has banished from most
of the churches of that denomination the
very voices which are best qualified, on
artistic and other grounds, to ''sing with
the heart"
1t is, therefore, with unfeigned pleasure
that the announcement is now made that
st. Peters Church is about to restore
woman to her rIghtful place in the choir
But the new regime will differ from the
old. Instead of being cooped up in a stuffy
choir loft, the women will now be permitted
to march solemnly up the aisle with the boys
and men and take their places in the
chancel as an integral part of the ministe-
rial force. They will be clad in flowing
vestments, somewhat like the present
surplice, and will wear some kind of a uni
form cap, probably in the likeness of the
academic mortar board
There will be eight to a dozen of the
feminine contingent, making fair balance
for the 20 boys and s men now composing
this choir. Organist and Choir Master w.
V. Dermitt expects to have the new plan go
into effect on Christmas Day and continue
permanently thereafter.
The employment of women in vested
cholrs has been topic much discussed by
church papers in late years. The expert
ment has been most successfully inaugurated
in Melbourne, Australia, and has been tried
in some few English churches. No American
church, as far as the writer knows, has fol-
lowed suit 1t is eminently appropriate that
this new policy in Pittsburg should be
started by the same church which some
years ago began the present regime of boy
choirs.

The POGO a POGO Orchestra.

Apropos of DR.. Walters, it is pleasure
to be able to correct the erroneous intima-
ton given last week that the POGO
a POGO Orchestra, with which the genial
physician and his talented wife
have been so prominently identified,
had disbanded. The error grew easily out
OF the fact that the orchestra has not until
within few days had any prospect of hall
in the East End in which to give its con-
certs, and was, therefore, unable to arrange
for its usual series or to enlist associate
members for the season.
The difficulty was increased by the alb
sence of DR.. and Mrs. Walters in Europe
until late in the fall. But, nevertheless,
the orchestra did reassemble some two
months ago and began, under Mr.. G. B.
Stelzner, the regular rehearsals which are
now being continued with Directress Wal
ters at the stand. All the old members
have come back and some new ones bring
the present amateur membership up to 25 or
80, which number is, of course, increased by
professionals on concert occasions. So the
orchestra was never in a more fourishing
condition internally, and it expects to give
external manifestations of its efficient con-
dition by opening the new Masonic Hall,
now building on Collins avenue, and ex-
pected to be complete soon after the Holi-
days.

one on the vessel with him but
il boy. He was lowering the
anchor himself, when his feet
became entangled in the
buoy rope, which was at
tached to the anchor chain,
and being unable to extricate
himself, the anchor dragged
him overheard and under the
water, and held him fast.
| There was NO one to help him,
and even If there had been
men on the vessel it is very
doubtful whether they could
have saved him. Henevera q.

The boy hoisted a signal o
distress, and ON the next
morning help came. The an
