- '---------------------'- T >----1 -7-------- THE ORGAN RECITAL

At Plymouth Congregational Church by
 Harry Rowe Shelley.
 The capabilities of Plymouth church organ, never yet thoroughly tested, are to be exhibited in most charming manner next Monday evening. The oc- casion is to be an organ recital by the now celebrated Harry Rowe Shelley, who needs no introduction to a New Haven audience, for MT. Shelley was born and bred in New Haven and all it's people have taken great interest in his constantly growing reputation, un- til now he stands accredited as one of the greatest of modern organists.
 It has been so many years since Mr. Shelley appeared in public recital in New Haven that the interest displayed in his coming is very intense and a large sale of tickets and an audience which will test the capacity of the new auditorium of Plymouth church are sure to result.
 MT. Shelley was here on Tuesday and thoroughly examined the organ, and it a magnificent instrument and one with unusually sweet tones.
 MT. Shelley is to be assisted by Mrs. Wilson, of Shelton, whose excellent rep utation as soprano singer is well de- served and constantly growing.

The ad- vance, sale of seats opens this morning at the box office, Hyperion theater Or chestra and parquet 50c and 35c; dress circle, 50c 35c, 25c; family circle, 10c.
 All musical and fashionable New Ha- ven is looking forward with pleasure to the concert this afternoon at the Hy- perion by the New Haven Symphony orchestra. Isadore Troostwyk, soloist for the afternoon, will play on a gen. uine Stradivarius, priceless instru- ment, whose glorious tone is remember ed wherever this fine violinist has ap- peared. This violin is said to be one of the most valuable in New England As for MT. Troostwyk's art, his fame as an artist is all too widespread to need comment here. Raff's wonderful descriptive symphony I'm Walde," Mendelssohn's overture "Hebrides," and Humperdinck's dream music of "Hansel and Gretep will round out an altogether delightful programme.

NOT AMERICAN MUSIC.
Professor Parker Says Negro Tune,
 Are Bohemian.

Professor Parker Says Negro Tunes Are Bohemian
 Horatio w. Parker, professor of mu- sic in Yale, delivered a third and es.
 pecially interesting lecture last evening in College street hall on American music.
 Music in America is an exotic art, the
 only indigenous music being that of the
 North American Indians. Professor
 Parker secuted what he termed the
 strange theory that the prevalent ne-
 gro tunes are really American music" | The same variety of music is furnished
 us in Bohemian times. The scale in which they are written is the same as
 that used by all savage nations, and is not confined to the negroes in America. I wonder that so eminent critic as
 MT. Krehbiel, of the New York Trib-
 une, should have lent his sanction to the theory"
 New England is the center from
 which has radiated all art, literature and music in this country, and the his-
 tory of music in New England will practically cover that of the country. The influence of the Puritans in art is still discernible, and while we inherit few good old hymn tunes from them, they did much to restrain the progress of music in this country by condemning the art as sinful. When music in Europe was culminating in Beethoven our fathers were first beginning to ap- preciate Lowell Mason. No longer than forty years ago a Christian woman ask ed Salem, Mass, clergyman if she "could consistently attend a series of lectures on art''
 Professor Parker rendered several piano selections during the lecture il- illustrative of the progress of music in this country, from lfthe fugued tunes and anthems of Billings and Lowell to the highly finished modern productions of such composers as Professor John K. Paine, of Harvard, Arthur Whitney. and Professor McDowell, of Columbia university, besides others of equal merit.
 In this connection Professor Parker did not fail to give the warmest tribute to the membory of the late Ethelbert Nevin He said: ''rhe love in which the public held him is easily explained. He was one of the gentlest and most lovable of characters, his amiable qual- ities being reflected in his music, which if lacking in sternness and strength betrayed delicate beauty, originality and abiding charm We could i'll afford to lose from out of our midst at his comparatively early age a musician of such abilities. Let me repeat that his music expressed his personality to a remarkab ble degree, and for this reason he was able to reach a much larger body of admirers than composers usually commando"

FUTURE OF THE NEW HAVEN,

Prospect of Its Coming Merger WitE | the New York Central or Pennsyl. l vania.
 A New Haven special to the New York Evening Post yesterday says con- corning recent consolidation talk:
 Revived talk here in investment cir
 cles of merger sooner or later, of the
 New York, New Haven and Hartford
 railroad with either the Pennsylvania or
 New York Central, is due to situation
 rather than to any positive evidence
 that such a merger is at hand. Those
 who forecast the merger point to the decreased freight earnings of the road
 as evidence that it must now enter a period of more active competition with the Boston and Maine and New York Central companies, which are now di- verting freights to their Hong haul' exactly as the New Haven did when it acquired the Old Colony. The Bridgeport, Naugatuck Valley and Old Colony improvements are suggested as matters which may have to be met by issues of treasury stock. The Tariff vile branch controversy and contests with competing trolley projects are  other burdens to be carried.
 Those who aregue against the idea of a merger cite, on the other hand, the strong territorial monopoly of the company, it's large capacity for re- trenchment, should economy be neces- sary, the fact that it's passive policy in regard to freight is apparently to be abandoned, it's ability to take care of a large part of it's improvements out of net earnings, and also the fact that in 1905 refunding of old New England railroad bonds will nearly, or quite, off, set increased dividend charge on the $16, ,397,200 of new stock to be added two years hence by the conversion of deben- lures.
 "The most noteworthy fact is that the talk here of a coming merger of the with either the New York Gen. tral or the Pennsylvania steadily in- creases, and the main question seems to b> which of the great companies will take It, on what terms, and when.

Grand Opera House.

| Until the appearance of Miss Corelli' s remarkable book, no one had, the im-
 agination or the courage to propound
 a new theory in place of the one that
 taught the existence of evil according
 to the regulation idea. That her origi-
 nal and impressive idea has found favor
 is shown by the fact that in America
 alone the book has had a sale exceed
 ing a million copies. and that it has
 been translated into not only all the
 languages of Europe, but also into
 many of the dialects of India and Hin- dustan. This success as a novel has been followed by the equal success in England of it's dramatic form, the American production of which, owned by William A. Brady, will be seen on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, this week, with special holiday matinee Fri
 day and regular matinee Saturday at the Grand opera house. Those who are familiar with the story will realize that it could not properly be presented on the stage without an exceptional cast and accessories of an unusually costly and elaborate character, and these MT. Brady has provided. Marie Corelli's ad- mirers may therefore safely anticipate an entirely adequate presentation of this strange tale of the devil on earth
 The advance sale has been large. &c., cure seats in advance. Regular prices.
 A romance of real life in an odd cor ner of a big city is the fascinating sub- ject of Mans Enemy" which will be presented at the Grand opera house Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week, with matinee Wednesday. The incidents of this play are taken from real life. Each act contains plen- ty of comedy. and series of quick moving dramatic incidents that move up to a powerful climax. The scenery is elaborate and the presenting com- pany, including Miss Dorothy Ross more, is an admirable one Seats now on sale. Regular prices.

! In reference to the future of Amerl-
 can music and the best method of ob-
 taining a musical education Professor Parker said:
 1 "The future of American music has
 no limits At this time we note rapid 1 disappearance of artistic boundaries,
 which have never been greatly marked.
 The conservatories and music schools
 of Europe are splendid examples for us to follow, and 1t is important to note that they are not self-supportlng.
 These two things, musical good quality and self-support, I deem incompatible. | Some external support I regard as al- ways necessary in the conduct of sue cessful school.
 | The idea which prevails, especially in this country, that young artist should earn living and develop his faculties
 at the same time is decidedly wrong. As to the value of music as an industry don't know; music as an art is of value beyond my power to express. The
 reward of the musical artist, of the cre- ative musical artist, must be in the work itself. The habit of making pot boilers tends to destroy his power, and usually it is found that the best artist either is or has been financially poor. "But it is not good for a student to starve himself. Let us have scholar ships, and plenty of them, to enable our
 students to live and be trained in Eu-
 rope for a period of two or more years, on condition that they remain poor
 while being educated. American edu- cation alone is not and I believe never can be sufficient, and therefore I advise a European training.
 But a student applying for a genu- inc musical education ought to be young and his work advanced. Only students of marked ability should apply. In mu- sic there are no mute, inglorious Mill tons. Let me say that nobody wants to depress or discourage young com posers, and wherever they are if they have real talent they will be apprecia- lively heard and supported"
 Professor Parker closed with the re- mark that the chief need to-day is for the smaller cities to encourage and pa- tronize their local organizations, and not to import ready made music from large cities like New York and Boston and Chicago. The necessity for music is among ourselves, and we must not divert our support of them in favor of the wandering orchestras.

ENTERTAINMENT

Tomorrow evening at the Hyperio
 a grand holiday concert will be give
 under the management of M. l.. Pink | ham, when one of the greatest musica treats of the season will be given, intro ducing to our music loving citizens tn
 phenomenal Portuguese baritone. Mar
 quis de Souza, who will be assisted b.
 the following artists: Miss Alice Mer
 ritt, soprano; Miss Anna Often, violin I ist; Mile Martia Schade, the Norwe
 gian pianist, and Ellison von Hoose 1 tenor.
 The New York Telegraph, January 25 says: Don Francisco de Souza Coutin | ho sang at Carnegie hall last night anc afforded emphatic entertainment to ar audience which nearly filled the big au
 ditorium. In voice his endowment is
 unusual. A baritone of greater range
 and volume was probably never heard
 here. It is one of clear ringing tones in the upper register, and of broad
 mellowness in the lower. His higt
 notes are easily comparable to clarion
 peals It was in his originality o1
 phrasing and in the color of spirit with
 winch he sang that he made his record
 The old Horeador's song, for instance, a
 piece which has been sung exactly the same way hundreds of times, was made
 to seem very much unlike itself. The marquis certainly gave it new mean ing. 1t suggested one at the entrance of bull pen, Haunting defiance at a herd of infuriated animals. He drew the phrases out with tremendous pow CT and passion. His accents had ring of realism, and his information the con- viction of temperamental accord The audience received the marquis with great enthusiasm. The advance sale of seats is now open. Prices 25c, soc, 75c, $1, $1,5O
 ''The Drummer Boy" Is to be our midst once more, and this time pitches his camp at the Hyperion, where he will stay for all next week, giving matinees Wednesday and Saturday. The produc- tion is under the management of A. F. Nail, who has so successfully engineer ed the previous presentations in this city, and who has been connected with the Drummer Boy' for nearly quar- ter of a century and who is seen in the as the old original southern darkey, part he assumes to perfec- tion. Willard D. Howe, Yale '91. will be another shining light with this years production. This gentleman is now talk ing college course previous to adopt ing the stage as a profession. He ap- pears as Mart Howard. Miss Lillian Alena Phillips has been secured to irn- personate Johnny Howard, "The Drum mer Boy" and the cast could not have been placed in more satisfactory hands. The drama will be presented to benefit the following fraternal and grand or yanizations: Tuesday night New Eng and Order of Protection; Wednesday matinee, New Haven and Grace hospi- als; Wednesday night, Shepherds of Bethlehem; Thursday night, Royal Ar 'apum; Friday night, Ancient Order of United Workmen; Saturday matinee New Haven and St. Francis orphan 'sylums, and Saturday night, The Drummer Boy association.

VISITING HIS FATHER.

 Porto Rico.

w. H. Beardsey, U. S. A., Late of
 Porto Rico.
 William H. Beardsley, of Battery B, Fifth United States artillery, who has been transferred from Porto Rico to the Sandy Hook province grounds two months ago, is visiting his father, c. o. Beardsley, the metallic interior decora- tor, of 972 Chapel street. Young Beardsley enlisted in the regular service during the Spanish-American war and has been two and half years in the regular service. He is a veteran Blue and hopes to attend the annual ball of tht company during his furlough. On his return he expects to be employed on proving one of the eighteen-inch guns which will be erected in one of the coast defense batteries. He says these guns are of the largest bore in the American armament, while the tar get alone costs about $15,000.
