MUSICAL WHEELING.


ut Ia not the VlollRs and the comets, Il
Is not the oboe nor beating drums, nor
the notes OF the baritone singer singing
his sweetest romanza, nor those Of the
mems chorus nor those Of the women's
chorus. 1t Is nearer and farther than
they. All music Is what aWakeRs from
you, when you are reminded by the in
! struments."
The coming week win be full OF such
awakening. Monday evening the very
unusual treat OF an organ recital by a
world known artist win be given, The
! interest aroused In the bringing OF Fred
eric Archer to the city Is second TO none
OF the many claimants of rivalry during
the Week, and an Immense audience Ia
assured. Frederic Archer Is In every
sense OF the word a distinguished and
thorough musician; his reputation as
such had preceded him to his present
home pittsburgh and his work In that
city has most forcibly proven Its truth,
His every endeavor has been towards
musical enlightenment In all Its many
paths, and TO bring to an early culmlna-
ton his prophecy that pittsburgh is to
be the musical centre of the United
States" To hear an artist whose work
for music Is as sincere as Mr., Archers,
Is a genuine pleasure, and when II Is as
rare as such opportunities in this city
most assuredly are, the chance viii not
be lei goungraspedatthl5 iimeol making
Wheeltng's musical history. From an
artistic standpoint no event OF the sea-
son OF lSSI-9S can eclipse II, or wHich all
who Know Frederic Archers reputation,
must be convinced. upon reading the

The second concert of the week Is of
equal importance, embracing as 1t does
the greatest aggregation OF NheellnBs
musicians, and makers Of exceptionally
me music. me opera House ofcnes-
ira has established an enyiaDle repu-
tation, not only In the city, but through
out the state and in all the adjoining
towns. No function, needing either
brass or string music, seems exactly up
to the finest unless this organization
caters to that need, and no dlsappolnt-
ment ever follows in Its wake. The
Sunday night recitals given In the Ar
ion hail during the winter, bring music
within the reach of members of the
club who never can get 1t during the
week, are worthy the encouragement OF
the lover OF humanity-but no champion
is needed. The Arion hail is crowded
Sunday nights, because the opportunity
for enjoyment of refined art Is af-
forded, and will be on next Thursday,
