IMMENSE CROWD HEARS
THE SECOND CONCERT
Financial Success of the Cincinnati
Festival Assured-Popular
Programme Presented.

s CINCINNATI, May 12.-Another remark
ably large assembly marked the second
concert of the sixteenth biennial festival,
leaving no question of financial success.
This means no profit to any person, but
only that no deficit will be met from private
purses. Any balance above expenses goes
for the next festival.
The programme to-day was in striking
contrast with that of the first concert,
wherein the severity of the classical COM
ty and made the music something TO evoke
the unbounded admiration of advanced stu
dents, but die not reach the popular ear.
To-day the aspect of the musical sky was
cleared and the delight of the hearers was
shown in rapturous rounds of applause.
This was specially pronounced when
Schumann-H -Heink sang her aria from
Titus by Mozart. She also sang with
fine effect Three Gypsies." by Liszt. Miss
Agnes Nichols sang two numbers-Web-
ers ocean. Thou Mighty Monster" and
an air from Wagners Tristan and Isolde,
in both of which she gained unstinted APP
plause. The orchestral numbers included
Mozarts symphony in E-fiat, Beethoven S
charming eighth symphony, Schubert's en-
tere acte and variations, and march by
DR.. Elgar. the modern composer, whose
"Gerentius" has the place of honor on the
programme for Friday night.
TX Is significant that while all the COM
posers represented have ardent admirers,
IL remains for Wagner TO awaken the
most marked enthusiasm.

At the German House this evening the
Musikverein will give its public concert.
The Apollo Club, of Muncie. a male chorus
of fifty voices. will join the Musikverein
male chorus of fifty and there will be
womans chorus of seventy voices. The or
chestra will number fifty-five pieces. The
programme is of modern works and rehear-
sails have been frequent. The Musikverein
is testing the public's interest in forward
ing choral and orchestral music and local
muscianship, and if the encouragement
manifested at to-nights concert be suffi-
cient, a number of open concerts may be
given next season. There will be no re-
served seats and the admission tickets, Of
fered at a low price, will be good for any
part of the hail.
The concert will be under the direction
of Alexander Ernestinoff, who has been the
Musikverein's conductor for six years and
who also is the conductor of the Muncie
Apollo Club, which has been very sue
cessful since it's organization, a year ago.
Mr.. Ernestinof has had an unusually ac-
tive and interesting career. Born in st.
Petersburg, he was educated at the Con-
servatory. Dreyschock was his piano teach
er and he studied Instrumentation with the
famous composer, Napravnik, also giving
particular attention TO the violoncello,
which he studied with Wasilewski. He was
-
age of eighteen and went to Berlin to hear
German opera. as there was only Russian
and Italian opera in st. Petersburg.
Mr.. Ernestinoff came TO America with
a German opera company and for three
years conductor of the Academy of
Music at Fourteenth street and Irving
Place, which was for many years New
York's opera house. The Academy is still
the largest theater in New York city, with
the exception of the Metropolitan Opera
House. but IL is used now for the produc-
tion Of popular melodramas. There Mr..
Ernestinoff conducted the first performance
in the United States of Wagner's first
opera, "Rienzi," excerpts from which form
an important part of the Musikverein's pro-
gramme this evening.
Mr. Ernestinoff spent several years in st.
Louis, where he conducted two German So
cieties. one producing operas. He came
to indianapolis in 1880 and took charge Of
the Maennerchor. Afterward he was the
Lyra's conductor. Six years ago he be-
came conductor of the Musikverein. A large
part of his time has been devoted to train
Ing singers. His work in different ways

MATERNITY WARD MOVED
TO THE SECOND FLOOR
Following Report of County Board
of Charities, Change Is Made
at City Hospital.

Following the report of the County Board
Of Charities, which caused so much talk
concerning conditions at the City Hospital,
the maternity ward at that institution has
been removed from the fourth floor to the
second. The report of the board referred to
the danger that would arise to the occu-
pants of this ward in case of fire.
The hospital authorities say that it had
been their intention to change the location
of this ward for some time, but that it was
made possible only recently by some other
changes.
In the belief that in the near future many
changes will be made at the hospital, Dr.
Nj. j. Spencer, city sanitarian. has been
sent East for stay OF four weeks to study
the methods of the best regulated hospitals
in that section of the country, with the
purpose of getting ideas for use here when
the City Hospital is improved.

Viola, the actress failed to realize all of
the possibilities of the moment, which is
one of the best in the play. Zettie Til
bury's impersonation of Maria was ir-
resistible. This young English actress
has a contagious laugh that should make
her fortune 1t fairly ripples from her
throat, and il is little wonder that Viola
Aliens first thought in securing her sup
porting players was to engage Miss Tilbury
for this part Her scenes with Mr.. Handy
sides and Mr.. Currier (Sir Toby and Sir
Andrew kept the audience in roars of
laughter, and whenever the mirth subs1ded
her own merry laugh would start it going
again with renewed force. Such a laugh as
hers is worth dozen tonics.
The stage settings were handsome, the
scene showing Olivia's gardens being par
ticularly beautiful, and the incidental mu-
sic, frequently and agreeably in evidence,
added greatly to the general effect. 1t was
the last legitimate dramatic performance
of the season at English's, and one of the
most notable-and certainly one of the most
enjoyable-of the entire theatrical year.

We're Called to Tell About the

Yesterday.

IurymGn are Conducting Thorough lOvts-
tigation-It is Understood that an Effort
is Being Mace to Ascertain Why the
Bridge Will Not Be Ready for Use Whrn
Comp eted -Frethol 'ers Heard Ais.

New Brunswick, Nov. 26:-The
grand jury, yesterday, took up the
ANNOY bridge matter and callad wit
uesses to learn If the bridge has been
built according to plans and TO nscer-
tain why the Perth Amboy apron ch
has not been bnilt.
There were number of Perth Am.
boy officials on hand to be called
May CT Seaman, former Alder man AT :
large Adam EcISert ard City Clerk
John Reilley were among the early
arrivals. Former City Attorney James
s Wight wos also present.
The city clerk said that he had left
sick bed to obey the subpoena. As
bury fountain, director of the Board
of Freehol iers, and d. W. Clayton,
clerk of the freeholders, were aIso
under supoena.
1t is understood that the jury is
going into the reason why the bridge
will not be ready for the public use
ms soon as completed. The presence
of the Amtoy officials gives rise to
the belief that the jury is inquiIiDg
into the contract which Perth Amboy
had entered into some time ago to
Suild the approach to the bridge. In
some quarters in Perth Amboy it is
claimed that this agreement is void
be cause it was made when there was
a suit involving the property pending
in the Court of Chancery. The grand
jury may look into this matter. too.
The grand jury finished with the
Amboy officials yesterday and today
are hearing The freeholders Several
witnesses were called before the jury
yesterday from Raritan township to
tell what they know about the
charges against George Potts. we'll
known farmer of that township, who
was arrested some tine aRo for being
violent.

DAY again. 1t is expected that it will
he able to end Its work and adjourn
for the term. Its last sessions will be
devoted to hearing the sixth ward
