DE PACHMANN AGAIN
CHARMS HIS AUDITORS

TIE PACHMANN'S second recital at
the California yesterday afternoon
/ drew another large audience. II is
- not generally considered necessary
that one should see a musician as we'll
as hear him, and therefore the women in
a concert audience take unto themselves
the satisfaction Of ignoring the high hat
ordinance and placidly obstruct the vision
of those who are so unfortunate as TO
sit behind them. This is not a matter OF
very great moment at most musical enter
tainments, and at some might be account
ed a boon, but ones enjoyment of De
Pachmann Is materially enhanced by a
visual observation Of his methods. His
digital facility is as interesting as that
of any virtuoso, although his lingering is
not modern. De Pachmann not being a
disciple of the new pianism; 1t is rather
the fantastic character of his expression
and pose that attracts and amuses.
De Pachmanns pecuiarities were strik-
ingly eXemplified yesterday in the Schu-
mann G minor Sonata. In the second
movement (andantino) he was all rapt
ecstacy, and in the scherzo that followed
the embodiment of jocose humor. In a
nocturne he dreams, in an etude he dem
onstrates, and If 1t were possible he would
dance TO his own playing OF a mazurka
The programme began In an unorthodox
manner with Beethoven's melodious &C
Major Sonata, Op. 50. The second item.
delssohn- BartholdD, a set OF variations
within variations, was interesting as an
example of musical complexity and came
to splendid climax in the final express
sion of the theme. The number was in
terrupted at the thirteenth variation by
untimely applause. / do not think the
unlucky integer had anything TO do with
II, but rather the unreason of the au-
dience, or a part thereof, which was re-
sponsible for loss OF the finale In several
numbers. The American public has not
been educated to applaud with propriety
and hence we find artists compelled to ac-
knowledge not only after every number
on the programme, but after every move
ment of suite. sonata or symphony. De
Pachmann did not seem satisfied with the
programme, winch he scanned from time
to time, and played Chopin's "Etude No
s. with apparent reluctance.
II was his encore number at the first
recital and in order that his auditors
should not suffer for the want of some
thing fresh he inserted the other G. fat
"Etude' with marked success. He brought
to the "MaZurka Op. IT, a sprightliness
that was inspiriting. The dancing quail
ity could not be more delightfully."- rem
dered. The same is true of Weber's ''In-
vitation a la Danse," which ended the pro
gramme, but with which he took MANY
technical liberties. He read Chopin s
Third Ballade' with much originality.
though his use of syncopation was apo-
cryphal, but one can forgive De Pach-
mann much for the sureness of his charm
The last recital will take place this after
noon at 3:l5 o'clock

The Photographer,

THE present cold snap is all over
the country. Farther south they are
having lots of rain to make up for
the cold and snow that we are enjoy
ing. The weather bureau has issued
a statement saying that there is no
relief in sight for several days yet but
as the air is dry and bracing no one
has felt the cold very keenly yet. The
wind that was blowing yesterday and
last night is what made it so uncom-
Portable.
SUIT was entered last week at Pitts
burg by John Bole against the Pitts
burg, Brownsville and Geneva Packet
company for $4,000 damages. Bole
claims to have been the owner of an
$4,000 trotting horse known as "Bene-
yer, and shipped the animal from that
city to Bellevernon on the steamer
Adam Jacobs. It is alleged that
while attempting to remove the horse
from the steamer through the care
lessness of the defendants employees
it fell into the water and was injured
to the extent that it had to be killed.

Good Music.

Much favorable comment is heard
concerning the musical addenda of the
Mortimer performances. Prof. Stog-
dill and Marie Knight have estab-
lished themselves in the good graces
of the music loving contingent in their
audiences as the cordial evidences Of
appreciation plainly attest. Last
night many retained their seats until
the concluding overture was finished
although it is supposed to be played
as sort of "recessional" while the
audience withdraws. This very no.
ticeable compliment to these excellent
musicians must have been gratifying
in the extreme.

A LOCAL paper is often accused OF
bias in giving personal notices
commenting on the coming and going
OF some and emitting others. The
accusation is invariably wrong and
unjust. The fault is with the peo-
pie and not with the editor. He is
always willing and even anxious to
tell who comes and goes, if he can
find out, but country paper cannot
afford to have a score of salaried re-
porters and must depend on the
people to some extent. If they have
visitors let us know who they are
and where they come from; if any
thing happens in your vicinity let
us know about it.
