Profits of "David Harum."

From the New York Sun.
 MT. A. K. Muzzey, of Syracuse, repre- senting the children of the late Edward Moves Westcott, author of David Harum,' came to this city yesterday to call on the reorganization committee of the publish ing firm of D. Appleton & Co.,, which re- gently failed. David Harum was pub lislled postlhumously, and it has been stated that the royalties on the sales constituted the sole support of the widow and children. lD. Appleton & Co. were the publishers. The book had one of the largest sales ever known In the book trade and thousands of dollars were turned over to Mir. Wes-' cotts heirs Several payments of from 5000 to s10,000 have been made, it is said, in the last year, but a general accounting was to have been made March 1. This was not made, so Mr. Muzzey called upon the recognizing committee for the ac counting. William H. Appleton said yester- day:

Work Highest Level of Men,
 delssohn's Remarkable Genius. DISCUSSION OF CHORUSES
Birmingham's Fame as Musical City Has Spread Far and Wide-Ar- lists Who Will Probably
 Be Heard Here
BY WILLIAM RYAN,

The oratorio selection to be performed under Benjamin Guckenbergers director ship at the approaching music festival is Part of Elijah"
 Mendelssohn composed two orations, "St. Paul' and "Elijah," the latter being his last masterful effort. Both oratorios are beautiful, and both are among the festival favorites, but Elijah naturally reveals more matured intellect and more passion ate emotion, and is altogether nobler than "St. Paul" It marks, indeed, Mendel- ssohns highest level. This great work was written for Birmingham, England, and had its first performance at the festival there in 1S46. the composer directing in person.
 Nearly all the famous masters have ap- preciated the fact that English chorus singing is. superior to that heard in Ger many. Handel, Haydn, Spohr Mendel- ssohn and Brahms regarded the English chorus as more nearly approaching perfec. ton than any they had listened to in the "Fatherland." And Dvorak's heart was full of joy when his Spectre Bride" was accepted by the director of the Brming- ham festival.
 In singing German folk songs the full- blooded TeutonS excel as a matter of course; but for general ensemble work they cannot be compared to the Anglo -Saxons The German chorus is not lacking in tenn perament, but is often lacking in timbre and is generally lacking in ready attack with emphasis on the word ready. Theo- dore Thomas, a native of Germany and German to the core after he had attended numbers of celebrated festival perform ances in the old country, remarked that the best chorus work which he had found was right here in the United States. Ar thur Mees, the prince of chorus masters, speaks with enthusiasm of the superiority of the American chorus over all others.
 MT. Guckenberger Teuton in blood en- dorses all that Thomas and Mees have said. He studied in Berlin and in London, and listened to chorus singing in many towns on the continent. He has been iden- tifed with chorus work from boyhood Few men of his age, perhaps, have had larger musical experience.
 Mir. Guckenberger's Opinion

 Need of Piano

Need of Piano
 Adverting to the piano, this instrument Is certainly most useful for students who are learning to read score. Nearly every orchestral conductor is a pianist Every advanced pupil in a European conservatory is required to know the piano. It matters not whether he is aiming to be a violinist a horn player, trumpet player, a trom- bone player, a wood-wind player, or d singer-lessons on the piano and lessons in theory are regarded as indispensable.
 Theodore Thomas, one of the ablest and most successful conductors in the world was well taught on the violin, but he never had the advantage of attending a con- servatory. He never learned to play on the piano, but he turned out to be great conductor in spite of that fact. When Thomas was young man he ranked as one of the foremost soloists in the United States I heard him play Handeps Largo at the Cincinnati festival in 1880. He was accompanied by four harps, an orchestra of one hundred and fifty-six and the grand music hall organ. He had not performed on the violin in public for twelve years before that time. I was sitting be- side Dudley Buck and I we'll recall the
