THE SCHOOL OF MUSIC
To Give n Chamber Concert Next
 Saturday Evening.

The Skagwav School of Music will next Saturday evening give at Firsmsn's hall a chamber concert, and all lovers of the highest class of music will be there. How many of these there may be it Is hard to say, as there has previously been no spec ial occasion to call them together. It Is hoped. however, that all interested in Skagwav, will give their support to this effort to found In the city a school of music worthy of the name.
 Mrs. N. B. Clemlnger, its founder, Is woman of such broad musical culture that she Is eminentv fitted for just such posi- tlon. Her first education in music was ob- talned In Philadelphia, but she graduated at the Boston conservatory. the diplomas from which are still the most honored of any institution of music in the United States. Then she was for four years professional associate of Ms; Amy Fay, a sister.in.law of Theodore Thomas, whose method has a larger vogue In Europe than in this country. Still lt was appreciated here, and Mrs. Cleminger was sent for by the Academy of Music, Springfield, Ill.,; by that of Topeka. KaS.. and that of Mime apolls. to give Miss Fay's method of teach- ing.
 In the school she has established here Mr. GI.r,fno.r h.e aeeorfatod ,uith her all the leading professors of music. some of whom will be heard at the concert on Sat urdav evening. The one name on this program not generally known in this city is a violin vlrtuoso and composer. Mr. Ruthvn Tumev. He was a graduate of the Royal Academy of Berlin and studied under Goathlm. He has played as a solo st in all the large cities of Eurofe and the United States.
 The program arranged for the tirst con- cert IS as follows:
