Though the past week gave no public
demonstration OF Wheellng's aim for
higher music culture, It contained It's
full quota of interest to those within
the pale of Musical Wheeling. Excep-
tional treats are sighted and the ear
nest endeavor OF the week has been TO
bring them TO clearer View. la
The Seidl orchestra concerts which is
under the personal charge Of Mr.. Res
ter, OF the Opera House, has aroused
considerable attention from the reading
public. but the method OF showing its
endorsement OF the project is not fully
comp:ehended.' Mr.. Riester's idea is
this; subscription list Is to be seen
and signed at the office of the German
Insurance Company, on Fourteenth
street. under the Opera House. Only
the number of seats wished by the SUB
scriber, the evening ofithe concert, are
to be recorded, and no one. II the or
ganization is brought. will be required
TO pay IN any money not covered blythe
tickets opposite the name as written
during this canvass for encouragement.
As the attraction Is a big one and the
price OF admission less than the Thomas
orchestra sale. which years ago covered
every seat In the Grand, It seems pos
sibla that this opportunity, when
Wheeling is emphaticallg in touch mu-
slcally. with the country. will 80 BY
default The date OF It's bringing Is az.
ter Lent in the last week of April.
The coming great May Musical Festi-
val at Cincinnati Is another claimant to
interested thought. The best talent the
country has will take active part, and
the whole Is under the direction OF The
odore Thomas and scarcely another
word in connection with the artistic
part of the festival need be spoken af-
ter that assurance. But n little about
the plans FOR attending Is In order. 1t
is contemplated to charter the wv. J..
Cummings" and place the selling OF the
passage IN the keeping OF one OF the
musical organizations OF tho city,
thereby insurinS the perfect control Of
the passenger list. A stay aboard the
boat while in Clncinnatl.is also one OF
the provisions and everything condu-
Give to real pleasure trip will be
maintained. AS the plans on this end
mature they will be made known and
this will be In time to allow the con-
siderat!on of the Cincinnati excursion a t
the end Of May as against other trips
later In the season. The time covered
will be one week. and the music as now
programmed and its performers are

more than year, numbers five hun

land to America for the first time, and
Is under contract not to sing elsewhere
than in Cincinnati. This festival occurs

Last evening, letter was received
