THE announcement of the death of Anna
Steiniger-Clark is heard with much sorrow in
Pittsburg, where her husband at one time
resided, and where she has several times
appeared, winning the greatest possible
artistic success with the public, as well as the
highest personal esteem for the rare qualities
of heart and mind which the more intimate
musical circles had the privilege of observing.
A VERY promising concerts that announced

THE incorporation of the National Conserva-
tory of Music of America, during the closing
hours of Congress, is bright feather in the
cap of plucky Mrs. Thurber and seems in
truth like most significant step toward that
Governmental patronage of art which must
come more and more as the people at large
advance in culture, needing more and ap-
preciating better the higher and larger phases
of art work, which can never be Self-Sustain-
ing.
ART SoCIETY's one hundred and sixty-second
reception last Thursday evening was well at

in music, which it Is hoped to present to the
opportunity. Mrs. Kate Morgan Smith. Miss
Sybil Smith and Miss Elizabeth Webster aided
materially in the enjoyable programme.
ARTHUR FRIEDHEIM, who was one of
Liszt's really and truly "best pupils" and is re-
garded among the foremost of the younger
pianists of the day, has sailed for America with
out any preliminary flourish of trumpets and
will begin mis- cis-Atlantic tour about Easter
week by appearing at the Metropolitan Opera
House, New York, assisted by Theodore
Thomas and his orchestra. Pittsburg's spring
bulletin is pretty full but space could readily
be found for Ffiedhem-or for Scharwenka,
either. Won't some OF our enterprising mana.
gers give US one or both of these transient lumi-
narles:
Mr.. EDWARD BAXTER PERRY will give one
of his delightful and instructive Lecture Re-
citals' at the Pennsylvania College for Women,
East End, next Thursday afternoon. In addi-
tion to the refined touch and keen musical sem
sihilities not uncommon among those sim
ilarly afflicted, this sightless pianist is
musicians in the country. He is 4 welcome
contributor to leading periodicals, musical or
otherwise. and the verbal comments that he
makes upon the composers and works on his
programmes are really remarkable tor their
contents, dlction and engaging delivery. An
afternoon with Perry is an inspiration for any
pupil or muslc-loyer.
Mr.. THEODORE REICHMANN is positively
to appear as the first baritone of Pittsburgs
May Festival: the Vienna paper rejoiced too
early over the favorite's Homecoming and re-
appearance there. Mrs Fursch- Madi, however.
has Jelegraphed that owing to the sudden illness
OF her little daughter. she is obliged to remain
in Europe and to cancel the engagements that
nave been 4nade Tor her services at festivals
and concerts in America this spring. In her
place MIR. Retter will give us Mrs. Jennie Pat
rick Walker, the Boston soprano who has re-
Gently been climbing the ladder of fame rap
idly. Mr.. Franz Wilczek, the well known vio-
linist, will replace MIR. Victor Herbert, who
takes his cello on a round of provincial festi-
walls In New England this spring.
THE Musical Association of Allegheny gives
its next concert at Carnegie Hall on Tuesday
evening OF this week. Conductor Lafferty and
his increasingly efficient chorus will be assisted
by Miss May Beesley, soprano. and Mr.. F. ].
Bussman, tenor, ill the piece de resistance
of the evening, Goring Thomas short
cantata THE Sun Worshippers," which,
let US hope. vail prove to be of the same admir-
able quality as the composers well-known songs
and not at all in keeping with the unpoetical
of the English text as printed |
on Tuesdays programme. The chorus will |
also sing two detached pieces by Mem

Years Song" Miss Blanche Newcomb,
the vIolinist, lately come from
