WAS IN MEMORIAM
The Rubinstein Concert
at the Auditorium.
Music That Was Listened To With
Deep Interest-The Sixth
Symphony.

The horse show was responsible for the
small attendance at the eleventh symphony
concert at the Auditorium last night.
Under ordinary circumstances the oppor-
tunity Of hearing symphony by the late
Anton Rubinsten, that was new to San
Francisco, would undoubtedly have at
tracted large audience.
1t had been intended to give the lament
ed composers fifth symphony, but owing
to some difficulty in securing the full or
chestral score the sixth symphony was
substituted. The work was brilliantly
interpreted. with the exception of a few
scarcely noticeable slips on the part of the
wind Instruments The symphony, how
ever. was In one respect like sermon by
preacher of the oid-fashioned school-it
was lon g and the interest was not evenly
distributed. In places the music was
beautiful and effective. in others it was
almost tedious.
Con sidrrng the highly melodious nature
OF Rubin STEMS songs and of many of bis
DiaDoforte compositions, the lack of
tune" in this. as in many of his other
orchestral works, is little surprising A
few of the themes in the symphony were
very attractive. but the real interest of
the work lay more in the skillful and
effective development than in the actual
value of the themes. The orchestral treat
ment was quite modern.
The concert opened with the overture t.
Rubinstein's opera, "Dmitri Donski,"
and the second part of the programme con-
sisted chiefly of light descriptive music
and ballet music, light and snowy enough
to please the most popular audience. A
couple of dances were given from the
favorite bal Costume" suite; the ''Seig-
neur ct Dame de la cour Henri III" and
Dances of the Sixteenth Century" Very
effective dances, full of orchestral color,
were also that from the ballet music to the
opera Damon" and the ballet music
from "Feramors."
The concert concluded with Music of
the Spheres" for strings, and valse
caprice. The whole of the "In Memo
RAM" programme was listened to with
The deepest interest on the part of the
audience, which was evidently made up of
admirers Of Rubinstein.
Dyorak's successful symphony From
the New World" has just been received
by Fritz Scheel and has already gone into
rehearsal at the Auditorium.

LONGEVITY OF WOMEN.
One Matter in Which They Have an
Advantage Over Men.

The Medical Record says woman has the
advantage OF man as regards longevity. She
suffers less from accidents, injuries and many
forms Of disease; she is, in fact. more tena-
cious than man Of the limited enjoyments
allowed her. DR.. Brundreth Sym0nds has col
lccted and studied large number of statistics
to illustrate this interesting fact The COM
parative mortality of the sexes at different
ages shows that In the first year OF life the NOR
tally of the female is much less than that OF the
male. being at birth 92.64 per 1000 as against
80 and at the end OF the year 31.87 as
against 35.08 The difference continues up TO
10 the fourth year. From TO 12 the female
mortality is greater than that OF The male.
being at the latter period $3.50 for the males
and 4.28 for females. AT the age OF 40 the male
mortality equals that OF the female. the latter
having been up to this time slightly in excess.
During the years 46 TO 90, the period OF the
cllmacteric, the male mortality gains rapidly
on the female, being $50 per annum for the
one and only 3.47 for the other. Hence the
