The organization of the Chicago Or
chestral Association was the outgrowth of
desire on the part of busy men to benefit
themselves and their less fortunate fellow
citizens. They met eighteen months ago,
organized a society and subscribed guar
antee fund amounting to $4,000 year for
period of five years.
The money question settled, they looked
around for competent leader for the Or
chestra they proposed to maintain.
Naturally, Mr.. Thomas was the unani-
nous choice, and when the noted musi-
clan was finally persuaded to accept the
position offered him in so f1attering a
manner the joy of Chicago found express
sion in words loud enough to be heard
from one end of the country to the other,
but more especially in New York, whose
lovers of music for long time refused to
believe that Mr.. Thomas could be per-
suaded to leave the metropolis.
The orchestral association has placed
at Mr.. Thomas disposal the Auditorium,
unquestionably the finest hall in the
world for musical performances of all
kinds, and an amount of money sufficient
to engage the services of eighty-fve first
class musicians. The result has been the
selection of an orchestra which, although
but few months old, already rivals the
Boston Symphony Orchestra, for many
years considered--and Justly so-the finest

this institution, it is stated, has made the
long-haired gentleman handsome offer
SIS, 600 year is the figure mentioned
and hopes are entertained that the propo-
sition will be accepted.
Other members of the Chicago musical
colony who might be mentioned at more
length, would space permit, are: Profess
sor Ziegfeld, who is known not only to
musicians. but TO the soldiers of the land !;
Professor Jacobsen, the violinist, and at
one time Mr.. Thomas concert master !;
Max Bendix, Thomas present concert
master; Professor Clarence Eddy, whose
organ rscitals were the wonder of Paris
during the last exposition, and Emil Lieb-
ling. whose musical compositions have
been awarded prizes in various COMPETE
tions.
Thus it will be seen that should Mr..
Thomas desire to become the social leader
of musical coterie he can find plenty OF
material 10 perfect an organization, pro-
vided of course, that the people named
should be willing 10 own his sway. Inas-
much. however, as musical celebrities are
usually jealous of each other, he may find
it hard work to unite the warning ele-
ments.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas have met with a
cordial reception. They have been and
are being dined and wined by the best
people of the city. The husband, with
his hands and head full of work, enjoys
Western push and enterprise: and the
wife, used TO Chicago ways, finds the re-
newal of old acquaintance more pleasant
than living among strangers in New York.

and most perfect musical organization in
the limited States

and most perfect musical organization in
the United States.
Mr.. Thomas is not a stranger in the city
of his adoption. His marriage to Miss
Fay, which occurred not SO very long ago,
naturally drew him closer to Chicago and
will make him satisfied with his new loca-
ton. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas occupy a
handsome mansion on the Lake Shore
drive, near the castle of Potter Palmer and
the homes of other society leaders who
have accorded hearty welcome to
their new neighbors. Socially, the
Thomases play more important part here
than they ever did in New York; and as
the people become educated up to the high
musical standard which Mr. Thomas has
always striven to make popular, he will
find congenial and permanent field for
the exercise of his professional talents.
The Thomas orchestra has given sum-
MCKNIGHT concerts in Chicago for a num-
Der of years past, which We're patronized
by hundreds of thousands; but it was his
connection with the great musical festival
of 1852 which made the leader popular
with the masses. His connection with
the Inflated American Opera Company,
organized in 1855 and disbanded in 1887,
did not hurt him in the West, although
many stories were set aioat ascribing
large share of the blame for the failure of
Mrs Thurber's pet enterprise to the direc-
tor of the orchestra which, leaving all
tattery aside, was the best ever
heard IN the theaters of America.
Mr.. Thomas bears his 56 years with
grace. He seems TO be as energetic as

the greatest works of the greatest masters
for the public benefit. Strange to say, that
Is, when the erroneous reputation of Chi
cago for money grabbing Is taken into con-
sideration, the directors and members
of the club do not care for making
money. A number of oratorios, in
Guiding such works as the messiah"
Verdi's Requiem and Brach's Firth
jof," are sung every season by the club,
assisted by the foremost soloists. Reason
able prices are charged for the first public
performance of these works. but every
concert is repeated for the benefit of the
wage-earners of the city at prices ranging
from 10 cents TO 80 cents. Professor Tom
Inns, who is as enthusiastic on the subject
of vocal as Mr.. Thomas is on that of in
strumental music, has enough confidence
in the common people" to assert that
the criticisms of the wage-earners are
really of more value to leader than those
of fashionable audiences. The latter
usually attend CONCERT to be entertained,
the poorer classes 60 both to improve and
enjoy themselves.
Professor William H. Sherwood is an
other Chicago musician enjoying a ma
tional reputation. His piano recitals
have spread his fame into the remotest
districts, while his compositions have
found favor in many European countries.
While completing his education in Ger
many, LlSZt, lue master OF piano VIZ
tuosos, took strong liking to the enter
prising young American, and spent both
time and personal influence to secure for
him hearing before critical audiences.
At one of his concerts he invited Sher-
wood to play, and this exhibition
may properly be called the keystone
of his success. Some of his favorite
compositions have become popular, nota-
ably q scherzo, an idyl, scherzo SYM
phonique and an allegro patetico. Ali of
them have been adopted by the princi pal
Conservatives of the United States for
advanced pupils. Mr.. Sherwood is still
young man, and one of the most lovable
of men. His social success has been quite
as pronounced as his musical advance
ment He is free from the peculiarities
which the popular mind ascribes to musi-
cal genius, and just as much at home in
the parlor as in the concert room.
And then We have Frederick Grant
Gleason, a composer known everywhere,
who studied his art under Moscheles,
Richter and other European celebrities.
He began his career as musical critic for a

ever, and can endure more fatigue than
most of his juniors. His pretty young
wife is a typical Chicago giri, bright and
piouant. Being popular entertainer she
has succeeded in gathering in her salon
the brains of the West.
Should Mr.. Thomas, however, conclude
10 establish a strictly musical society he
will ind plenty of good material, for we
have among Us several men and women
who enjoy international fame in musical
circles.
There is, for instance, Professor William
|. Toulins, q remarkable man, who or
canized q chorus known as the Apollo
Club ont of material picked up here and
there He worked like beaver TO bring
order out of this chaos, and now has an
organization which has no rival in the
United States. During the fifteen years of
its existence the Apollo Club has done
much TO endear itself to the people of the
West, presenting at divers times some Of

The Fisk Jubilee Singers.

Twenty years ago, on the 9th Of october, 1871.
q little company of men and women started out
from Fisk school at Nashville, Tenn, to intro
ouee to the people OF the Northern states class
OF music never before heard by them-the
sacred, weird, unwrittep jubilee songs OF the log
cabin and the cotton feld-songs which, by
their promise of a ''better time coming" did
more than anything else to salye the wounds
aud stimulate the faith of long down-trodden
yet ever-hopeiul race. The enterprise was the
embodiment and expression OF a great moral
purpose-to establish an institution OF learning
Tor the people whom the war had recently freed
aud eniranchised, and TO show that these peo-
pie were equally capable with their white
brothers and sisters of approaching and appro-
prating the advantages of a liberal education.
The history of the company since that
time Is iamiliar-how they took the
Northern public by storm, then sue
cessively captured England, Scotland,
Ireland. Germany aud Switzerland, and how
the dollars poured in until Fisk university was
an established fact, and the widest dreams OF
the singers were more than realized. Although
the Company is not now singing Tor the inter
ssts of Fisk university il is not thought inap-
prorristc to remind their friends and the public
generally of their past service in building that
university at cost OF over $4,000. The Fisk
Jubilee Singers were the originators OF the
Jubilee music in concert work; il is their
speciality, the one thing in which they canuot
be approached Their mission is to sing TO the
heart. All lovers OF harmony aud melody
should not fail to hear these natural vocalsts
when they appear st the Seattle opera-house
next Thursday evening.
