Louis Globe-Denorat illustrates the loose
way in which so many people come to the
conclusion that they do not like what they
call classical" music-by which they
simply mean music of high artistic quality.
If the same circle of friends had heard an
other daughter of the reverend gentleman
first attempt to recite Mark AHtony's ad-
dress from "Julius Caesar" and then speak
some pretty little piece from her school
reader, they would no doubt have liked the
latter better. But they would never have
blamed either Shakespeare or themselves
for their not enjoying Antonys speech.
Nothing is more common than for a per-
former to fail to bring out the soul of CON-
position and to make it nothing but a dis
play of skillful execution. The person
who, on hearing such performance, ex-
claims 'T didn't like that composition,
might with equal pertinence say, after
seeing wax figure of the Secretary of State,
'I don't like MI. Blaine"
The trouble lies in the Interpretation
most of the time. The gentleman had a
right to demand something which arouses
my feeling" And when he can find no
other reason for appreciation than that 'it
shows her skill, he can be reason rshlv sure
either that her Interpretation is at fault or
else that the so-called classical" music is
nothing but skim-milk masquersding as
cream.

Two Veteran Opera Writers.

Among last nights London cables to THE
DISPATCH come the following musical bits:
Verdi's "Falstaf' is reported to contain
parts for five prima donne (three sopranos,
mezza-soprano and contrslto) and three
tenors, beside Maurel in the baritone title
role. Verdi, who is about " years of age,
is working leisurely upon this new opera
and is not expected to have it finished before
1892. A small chorus will be one of the
features of 'Falstaff," but it will only be
used once throughout the work.
Gounod, in conversation with friend re-
Gently, said: my career as composer is
ended" Gounod's life is known to be in
danger from heart disease, and this will pre-
vent him from ever again undertaking the
production of q great work. He added,
however, that ne hoped to be able to hear
"Lohengrin" in the near future.
The accidental juxtaposition of these two
items points greater difference between
the two old men than one of health. In
more than 80 years Gouno1 has not been
able to equal, much less surpass, his own
Faust" During the same period Verdi
has proven his artistic sincerity by casting
off the mottled skin of his ''Trovatore"
period and coming out in the richer and
more lasting colors that distinguish the
most modern school of composition. And
not content with the extraordinary devel-
opment shown in "Aida," the Requiem"
and 'Otello," the aged enthusiast is still
working along on the same line of progress.
This Verdi opera with only one small
chorus, if it be completed-as heaven grant
it may-win be worth the hearing, my mas
ters!

for September Show.

MISS PARL0A 10 VISIT BRADD0CK

The reports OF the Ptttsburg schools for
the opening month of the school year show
an increase of about 500. As will be seen by
the comparison of the enrollment of this
year with that of last year the schools in the
old portion of the city suffer, while the
schools that can be considered suburban
have a largely increased attendance Ex-
ceptions are to be noted in the case of the
DuQuesne, in the old city, which has an in
crease, and in the case of the Colfax and
Lincoln schools, in the East End, which
have decrease. For increased attendance
the Mt. Washington takes the honors, with
the Hiland a close second, while Oakland,
Liberty, Minersville follow in the order
named.
The franklin school really shows the
largest increase, but that is to be explained
by the fact that it had no adequate accom-
modatious last year and consequently lost
many of the pupils living in that district.
1t now has a magnificent new building,
which will amply accommodate its army of
pupils.
FolIowingfs a tabular statement showing
the attendance at the various schools of the
city for the month Of September, 1891, and
the corresponding month of 1880:

The Performer at Fault.

Classical music-real classical music, no
half-and-half affair-was the subject which
was being discussed by number of gentle

The diamond drill. (Crystal Falls, Iron County, Mich.) 1887-1996, 1891-02-14

A. l.. FLEWELLING. one of the
committee sent TO Lansing TO
look after the interests of Iron
county in the matter of heading
off a split, returned last Satur-
day with reports that may be
considered more favorable than
otherwise. His report TO q rep
resentative of this journal is
substantially as follows The
promoters of the Dickinson
county scheme have done much
work on their pet and will, let
nothing slip that would be to
their good. but stand just as
much show of getting left as any
thing else. The committee draft
ed and presented a bill which
provides for the detachment of
eight townships from Marquette
and attaching them to Iron, which
will be used in the event the
Dickinson bill is a success.
Should the legislature see fit TO
make the Dickinson bill a law, it
cannot do otherwise than TO pass
the bill above referred to. no
matter what the opposition may
be from Marquette. Iron county
is small and thinly populated and
to detach the six eastern town
ships, which if done will be
against the wishes of the resi-
dent thereof, would leave us in
pretty bad shape; the part pro
pressed for detachment containing
at least one-sixth the inhabitants
Of the county. Should il be Civ
EN- Marquette's eight townships il
would not Offset our loss, either
in population or value. 1t is the
wish Of every citizen of this coun-
ty that the Dickinson bill be
killed the Fetch district wants
nothing but to remain in Iron
county and Iron county wants
nothing but TO be left entirely
alone. The Dickinson bill and
the bill TO detach from Marquette
and attach TO Iron will be worked
side by side and in the event oi
the Dickinson bill failing the
other bill will be promptly killed
as it is only measure of protec'
ton.
