The Coming of Damrosch.


The important event of the week will be
the advent of Mr.. Walter Damrosch and his
New York Symphony Orchestra, for the
concerts of the Allegheny Musical
Association, at Cyclorama Hall, on
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.
Readers of this column have been
fully informed of the past and present
standing of this orchestra and its gifted
young leader Their first hearing here is
most pleasing occasion, which cannot but
rebound largely to the credit of Conductor
W. A. Laferty and his co-workers,
Some alterations have been made in the
programmes since they were first an
tions of equivalents; they do not, unfor-
tunately, meet the desire of most music
lovers for selections less trite and thread
bare However, there are no trashy works
sheduled; all are worth hearing again, no
matter how often they have been heard. On
Tuesday evening the orchestra will play
Wagners "Tannhaeuser" overture; the
Allegretto from Beethoven's Seventh
Symphony; a Theme and Variations by
Tschaikowski; Svendsen's Norwegian
Artists Carnival, ''and Berlioz's ''Rakoczy"
march, besides two nlorcedur for strings by
Grieg and Burgmein. Among these pieces
will be inserted the Prize Song from
"Meistersinger." sung By Mr. William j.
LAWN and Elizabeth's aria in the hall of
song ("Tannhaeuser"), sung by Mrs. Ida
Klein.
On Wednesday evening the first half of
the programme will be occupied by Bene-
diets cantata, ''St. Cecilia" sung by the
Allegheny chorus, with Mrs. Ida Klein,
Miss Mary Bankerd, Mr.. William
J. LAWN and Mr. Homer Moore,
the Symphony Orchestra accompanying.
The rest of the evening will be filled BY
the orchestra in Weber's "Freischuetz''
overture and LISTS lies Preludes,'' with
Haydn's Kaiser" quartet, played by
string orchestra. Regarding the cantata,
Mr.. G. R. Broadberry. acting as press
agent for the association has compiled the
following note:
''St. Cecilia" was composed by Sir Julius
Benedict for the Norwich (England) Festi-
val of 1866. The book of words was pre-
pared by Chorley, the English critic and
writer on musical topics, who deviates some
what from the accepted history of the
patron saint of music The legend of St.
Cecilia has occupied more or less
the attention of poets and COM
posers for the last three centuries,
and in almost every European country cele-
brations Of the day set apart in st. Cecilia's
honor are of annual occurrence. The story
is the time-worn one of the prosecutions of
a new faith by the old. Cecilia hears a di-
vine call summoning her away from her
husband, whom she has just married. until
he shall have been converted. She appeals
to heaven in his behalf vision of angels
appears to him, and the angels songs win
his soul. The lnfuriated Prstsct, who has
Just performed the rites of their
marriage, orders their death, the
husband to be beheaded and
the wife to die by the slow martyrdom of
fire. The tragedy of the former is left to
the Imagination while Cecilia dies sur

Uses Of the Sand Blast.

The use Of the sand blast is now found to
be very convenient and effective method
of cleaning buildings. A pump which
forces blast Of air at a pressure of four
ounces to the square inch through system
of flexible pipes removes the unclean sur
face of stone readily. One square foot of
stone can thus be cleaned in ten minutes,
and the rapidity of the process can be in
creased by the use of higher pressure.
Another, though an older application of the
sand blast, is for the whitening Of the out
side of incandescent lamp bulbs, and decora-
tive effects are often introduced by fasten-
ing letters or ornaments upon the outside.

Imitation of American Leather.

It will interest American manufacturers
of leather to know how their fines. product,
which is so highly esteemed Coax tanned
leather), is initiated in Germany. The
hides, after being we'll prepared, are put
for two day into strong tan liquor, and then
for another two days into solution of IRON
black (pyrolignite of iron with pulver-
lied gall nuts). The hides thus
become impregnated thoroughly and black
through and through. The skins are then
treated with mixture of one part decras
and two parts fish oil. Leather thus worked
can carry much more grease than with the
usual treatment, and acquires, together
with great pliability and tenacity, force of
resistance and minimum of brittleness.

Danger in Canned Fruits,

In consequence of the illness of two peo-
pie who had eaten canned pumpkin, DR.. 81.
W. Weber recently undertook to analyze
large variety Of canned fruits, bought at
random. 1t was found that all the samples
tasted contained poison. The milk was
pure, which is a consolation, but all the
solids, and they included pumpkin, toma-
toes, Hubbard SQUASH, peas, mushrooms,
blackberries, salmon, pears, peaches,
cherries, sweet potatoes, beans and pine
az Piles, contained poison, the tin taken as
chloride, varying from n to 514 grains per
pound.

New Machine Gun.

It is stated that new machine gun of
wonderful capabilities has just been put
through a successful test. Its principal
feature is rapidity of fire, which is claimed
to be equal to 900 shots in one minute fred
through one barrel. This would be an ad-
vance on the Maxim gun, which has q record
Of $50 shots a minute. The new gun has a
water-i Jacket around the firing barrel and
the cartridges are fed from continuous
belt, but no specific details concerning its
construction have yet been made public.

Quick Work in Locomotive Erection.

A notable feat has been performed at the
Stratford works of the Great Eastern Rail
way, England. A complete locomotive, of
the si1-coupled type with tender, was COM
pleted in less than ten hours When loaded
with three tons of coal the engine weighed
over 80 tons, the total weight of the engine
and tender in running order being
little over 81 tons. The per-
formance is one which reflects
great credit on the staff of the
railway. From strictly economical point
of view such feasts may by some be re,
garded as a mistake, but such prompt and
efficient work means, at all events, good
working to gauge and standard dimensions,
excellent organization, and, last but by no
means least, thoroughly good feeling be-
tween the employees and their managers and
foremen

DIR. CHARLES LLOYD TUCKEY SAYS
HE CAN HEAL INEBRIATEs.

The Results Are Permanent-An Analysis
of Canned Fruits Shows That All Con-
tain Poison-Mysterious Rapid-Firins
Gun Out-Odds and Ends of Science.
WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPATcH.1
The chloride of gold cure for inebriates
has recalled various suggestions which have
been made from time to time with the
same end in view. Dr. Charles Lloyd
Tuckey maintains that hypnotism is one of
the best-known means of effecting radical
cure of alcoholism. By way of show
ing the immense power WELD
ed by hyprotism he quotes the
case of the manager of an important COM
pany, who was about to be discharged from
his post in consequence of his dissolute
habits, when he took medical advice. Dr..
Tuckey hypnotized him and found him an
excellent subject. The patient was told
while in the hypnotic state that alcohol was
poison to him, and that the taste of it would
in future make him violently ill.
To test the efficacy of this suggestion
small glass of beer was given to him during
the hypnotic sleep, and another about half
an hour after his awakening; on both occas-
ions the dose instantly brought on an at
tack of sickness, though the patient had no
consciousness of the suggestions he had re-
ceived. He returned to his home and
business after about two months, and has
had no relapse Not long ago he
turned quite sick at cricket match, and, as
he complained of violent pain and faintness,
a well-meaning friend made him take the
usual rough-and-ready remedy-a glass of
whisky. He had hardly swallowed the
spirit when he again rejected it, thu. afford
ing proof of the continued action of sug-
gesticn after the lapse of three months.
Alcoholism is by no means the only dis
ease in which hypnotism can be advantage
ously resorted to; morphiDism, for example.
and the 'tobacco habit" have also their vic
tins, and the suggestive treatment has
proved eficacious against this class of evils

Johann Strauss Grand Opera.

Last nights London cables bring to THE
DISPATCH the following note of the first
hearing of the grand opera that marks
Johann Strauss first departure from the
dance music and operettas upon which
rests his worldwide fame.
Strauss new grand opera, "Ritter Pas
man" was produced at the Imperial Opera
House in Vienna last night with only
moderate success. There was not single
encore and, although the composer was sew
eral times called before the curtain
and given laurel wreaths, the CON-
pliment was evidently personal
one. The critics say, ''Strauss
has not given his genius scope" which
means that in his aspiration to be grand he
dlstrusted his especial muse. The only
really successful numbers. judged by the
opinion of last nights audience, were the
waltz arias and ballet music in the third
act. The greatest success of the evening
was achieved by Fraulein Marie Renard in
the second act, with an ariette in waltz
rhythm in E flat major, entitled
The Golden Fruit on the Tree of Life
Strauss himself considered this the gem of
the opera, and at the dress rehearsal
Wednesday its beautiful rendering by Frau
lein Renard moved him to copious tears
The ibretto, if one may trust the Stand
ard critic, is as disappointing as the score.
1T IS too refined, too anecdotic and contains
too little action to produce an effect when
rendered on the stage"

which Benedict has given to this story is
very attractive, and in itself would be
enough on which to base his reputation as a
composer. The most striking numbers are
the bright Introductory wedding chorus, an
ecstatic love for for Taleria1us (the husband
of Cecilia), a very passionate and dramatic
aria for the Prgect (what mean these
zealots vile), quartet with choral accom-
paniment, "God is Our Hope and
Strength" and the music of the trial
scene.
