Tho past week was an exciting one
unsteady; three exceptional entertain
ments, the starting OF new choral
club and other events tending to keep
musical spirit and talk ripe. The con-

long deprivation, to a Wheeling audi

are many things with US to weaken
the force OF any appeal which music
through the performance OF her suoH-
NEST works. might make; saying noth-
ing OF our comparatively few opportu-
mites OF hearing music OF che highest
kind and Worthlly performed and the
neglect Of a general cultivation not
only of a taste, but even OF an ear for
music, there Is the want OF sufficient
reverence FOR music as an art, which
prevents and makes impossible any
full and eifeotual manifestation OF its
power among us. Yet let Wheeling on
this occasion, when its reputation for
culture and artistic appreciation. Is at
stake, not be remiss.
Tuesday evening the Philharmonic
Quartet gave perhaps its very best re-
cttnl, and much regret Is being eH-
pressed at the possibility OF this FIRST
season ending the best home enter
taiuments ever given In this city. The
merits OF the IDEAS OF the originRtOrs
OF this quartet may be briefly stated

but good music, and the hope of doing
a good thing for art: pure programmes,

tastes, here should be at least one set
OF concerts. in which we have only
composers Of unQuesttoned excellence;
the guaranty TO the musicians, OF
better kind Of work, and the works

that all this will continue. and pave
the way 10 a permanent organization
OF high incorporating character.
The Glee Club concert last evening
was another good thing OF the week.
Nothing OF Its kind had been heard
here for many years, and the audience
proved its pleasure at this musical d.
version. Wheeling should, In its music

plenty OF material.
The vocal work OF the week, nj the
hrsL two concerts was done by Mrs.
Flora Williams. director of the Wo-
mans Musical Club. and Mr., Henry W.
Hughes. solo basEo OF the oratorio So

the head OF their special class and need
no word OF praise. Mrs Williams, as
always. delighted the audience, and

was heard to better liking.
