Rsaors About Mrs.. Russell HArrtssa
Dsnied.

wAsHISGros. Dec. 2s.-Relatiyes OF Mrs.
Russell Harrison, now in this city, pronounce
perfectly absurd the rumor that she had taken
up her residence In South Dakota for the pur-
pose OF making an application for divorce
for the rumor II IL ever had any, doubtless
arose from the fact that Mrs. Harrison spent
the month OF August at the Hot Springs OF
south Dakota, where upon the advice OF her
physlcians she took her little daughter Mar
thenia, who is suffering from partial PARALYSIS
caused by the attack OF scarlet fever while in
the White House. Little Marthenia Was greatly
benefited by the stay at the Hot Springs. and
Mrs. Harrison Eas since resided in Terre Hsute
with her husband, where he Is Presidsnt OF a

Senator and Mrs. Saunders, In Omaha.

TIE Manuscript SOCIETY.
Work It Is Doing 10 Encourage American
Musicians 10 Conpose.

One evening In the autumn of 1883 five or
six musicians met at the house OF Miss Laura 5.
Collins In this city. and an impromptu musicai
recital was given, each performer playing his
own composition. The compositions were dis
cussed, and criticisms and suggestions for i'm
provement offered The evening was so sue
cessful that II was agreed that they should meet
again at n stated time. This second meeting
brought together about twenty musicians, and
in the course Of the evening 1t was proposed by
Addison +. Andrews that they form themselves
into a society for the advancement OF musical
composition in America. The plan met with ap-
proyal, and the Manuscript Society of New York
was formed with Gerrt Smith as President.
The membership Is divided into three classes
composers or active members professional
musicians, and associate members. This last
class includes patrons and lovers of music.
Applicants for active membership are required
10 submit a work in polyphonic writing 20 the
Music Committee. This work must meet a
standard OF excellence TO insure It's authors ad-
mission into the society.
The membership grew rapidly. For the first
few years It consisted only Of residents OF New
York but as it's object became known appllca-
tions for membership were received from every
State in the Union. There are now over 200
active members and twice that number OF pro-
fessional and associate members:
Several private meetings are heId every year.
The work of the composers IN submitted, un-
signed, 20 the Music Committee. and accepted
or rejected according to value. The selected
music is played by the composers at these pri-
Vats meetings. A programme is made from the
most successful compositions, and submitted tO
the public at n concert usually given at Chick
ering Hall. There are three of these public
concerts every year and they have become very
popular. During the first year the rchestra
was conducted by the composers, but the change
OF leader for each number caused confusion In
the orchestra, so II was decided To have a pro-
fessional leader. Last year the concerts were
conducted by Walter DamrOsch, and this year
Anton Se,dl has them in charge,
The class ~ work the society Il encouraging
IL Indicated by the programme OF the one c9n-
cert already held this season. The first number
was a tone poem illustrating the Indian legend
OF the Spirit OF the Waters, written by George

symphony in two parts, by Carl q; Mueller, and
the overture OF a new opera, ElnnellA, by
Julian Edwards During the evening three
songs written by Victor Harris, one OF the
founders OF the society. were sung by Miss
Margaret Hall
orary member Of the society. Amongthe active
members are Walter Damrnsch, Homer y
