MUSIC.
THE KNEISEL QUARTET.

The Kne,seI Quartet began it's sixteenth season
In New York at Mendessohn Hall last night six
months ago the patrons of the organization.
who represent the fine flower OF New York's music
lovers. assembled to hear the last concert OF It's
fifteenth season. and incidentally to pay deserved
tribute to departing member Mr.. Schroeder, the
'cellist. Whether Il was festive soleInnity or a
solemn festivity one knew at the time. for tho
atmosphere was heavy with the report that the
days of the quartet were over-that Mr. Kneisel
had accepted the conductorship OF the Philadelphia
Orchestra and abandoned a kingship to become
ono Of several musical regents. Fortunately for
the lovers Of the highest form OF music. he was
permitted to carry out his purpose In a most
emphatic manner he was Informed as to
his proper sphere Of duty and persuaded
10 continue In Il The wisdom Of his advisers
was exemplifed IN a most convincing manner
last night and their confidence IN his
ability to overcome what looked Ike large OBJ
stacIe justified. The Knesol Quartet has suffered
no loss IL has bean rejuvenated. and last nights
concert like reconsecration. There are two
new men in the quartet-Mr. Julius Roentgen. sec
ond violin and Mr. wiIlen wilIiks vioIonceIIo-
but the old excellence the old perfection 2f ensem-
ble the old spirit OF devotion to pure musical
Ioveliness, Is still with the organization When
the concert began 1t seemed If the Mozart Quar-
tet In D minor. with Its transporting, slow move
ment had been selected with q special purpose TO
signalize the fact: but when the Brahms Trio In
c minor with Mr. Rudolph Ganz at the piano
forte) and the first of Beethoven,s Rasoumowsky
quartets followed it was made plafn that no spe-
ciaIzation had been attempted, and that
there was 10 be n the concerts OF the quartet
only q maintenance of the beautiful stand
ard OF the years that gone The newcomers
PLAYED as IL their musical sypathtes for years had
been those OF Mr.. Kneisel and Mr.. 6vecensk, and
showed most convincngIy that their technical abil-
tiles are commensurate with the highest demands
that can be made OF chamber music players. The
four are toined IN the angelic wedock OF which
Weber spoke when collaborating with Planchs in
the creation of "Oberon." Most delightfully."- did
Mr. GAM work with Mr.. Kneisel and Mr.. Willike
in the Brahms Tro-with complete sympathy. with
lovely appreciation the beauty of the compost
ton with proper assertion OF his part, but also
proper subserviency of IL to the general effect II
would scarcely be possible to imagine more de-
ughtful and admirable concert OF chamber music.

CoLOMBIA'S RATE OF EXCHANGE.
A Misapprehension Corrected by Consul Gen.
eral of That Country.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: During the last few years, whenever any
reference has been made in the American press 10
the monetary e--stem OF Colombia, wrong impress
sion has been created by the actual rate OF eH-
change being quoted at 1o-1,0o per cent
In response various inquiries l wish, II pos
sbe to correct the erroneous idea usually evolved
The government OF Colombia established some
time ago IN Bogota, the capital. central oailk'
known as the ''Banco Central for the purpose
of regulating and centralizing national finances
and fixed in a firm and definite manner the Vslue
OF the paper money compared with goid' giving
TO the one-dollar bill paper Of Colombia, or paper
peso a value equivalent TO the one-hundredth part
of the American dollar. and established the par
rate on foreign exchange as Leo pesos paper
money! 10 100 cents American currency.
Colombia negotiates to-day gold basis only,
the paDer one-dollar bill taking the place or the
American cent, SO that exchange is really at par
VIXEN it is at 1eo0o, and at l. and per cent
when it is at I0I00, 1880 and 1880 respectively
The government of Colombia is lending It's best
efforts toward the gradual conversion OF the
paper money into metallic currency, SO that as
soon as the paper in circulation disappears
gold Will take its place
AT present taxes are collected and all payments
made in gold by the government, paper money De-
ing used as circulating medium only This was
done after paper had been assigned lesai FaIue
Of 100 paper units 10 one gold unit
As this matter is OF great Importance TO Co
Ionlbia and to the Americans interested IN me

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
THE MUSIC SCHOOL SETTLEMENT.
Its Activities and How They Are Sustained

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: For the sake OF all who have given time and
money to the work of the Music School Settlement
will you kindly correct certain misleading state
nents made IN Sundays Tribune under the head
ing. six Millions for Music? In speaking OF the
endowment of the Institute Of Musical Art the ar
tcle says: "Of all the expenditures Of this endow-
ment probably the most picturesque is that which
IS devoted 10 music in the tenements," and the
and advanced pupils of the institute are
sent TO the music school settlements of the crowd
ed East Side. where these instructors give to
hundreds OF poor children the same methods and
for which the wealthy glad to pay large
fees etc.
The fact is that there IS but Music School
Settlement Of the East Side, and 1t was founded
by group Of women may years before the Insti-
tute OF Musical Art was founded by Mr.. Loeb. Not
a penny of the institutes endowment has
been used further the work of the Settlement. Il
happens that the director OF the Music School Set
tlement is lecturer at the institute and that
eral Of the piano teachers of the institute teach at
the Settlement, but these paid by voluntary
subscriptions the Settlement, such subscriptions
being the Music School Settlements only means of
support The institute is doing its own work in
q way worthy of its generous founder, but it does
not give 'the people OF New York's tenements for
10 cents lesson instruction by of the high
est salaried musical instructors in America 1t
is the Music School Settlement. of No. 90 East Sd
street that gives lessons for this nominal fee in
the belief that this is simple justice toward those
who cannot afford to pay more for musical educa-
ton. While this Settlement has the good Will or
every other Settlement and school Of music as well
as of the Institute OF Musical Art, it is doing its
best to I'll its special place in the life Of our
city without their financial aid.
