DOING MAN FALLS OFF WAGON.

Dozing on the seat of the wagon he
was driving last night on the Plank
road just this side of the Passaic river
bridge will probably cost Jesse Lee, a
negro, 20 years old, of 81 Pennington
street, his life. When the front wheel
slipped into a rut Lee was tumbled
into the street, striking on his head.
At the City Hospital 1t was found that
his skull was fractured.

and while Mr.. Altschuler's concerts seem TO
be wholly unnecessary in New York. where
the season is overburdened with orchestra
concerts. they are valuable and uplifting III
the other cities to which he has succeeded
in extending his ministrations.
But this is merely preliminary to the
answer 10 a question put by n friendly cor
respondent. who wants TO know what was
meant by the remark in last Sunday
Tribune that If Or. Richter were TO come
here he would pay Vienna's debt to New
York The answer is TO be found in the
history of the Philharmonic Society printed
on the occasion OF the hftieth anniversary
of its foundation in 1897 We quote:
The Philharmonic concerts in Vienna
were established by Otto Nicolai composer
of the perenially fresh and delightful Ger
man opera. The Merry Wives OF vino
sor." In 1888 V. Lachner had given a rev
subscription concerts with the same FORCES,
but II remained for Nicolai to give the
philharmonic concerts stability ana d
name. The latter. IL is surmised, he Dor
rowed from the London institution which
had been founded in 1913. and which Will
ever live in grateful memory for having
extended a helping hand to Beethoven upon
his deathbcd. In the programmes or It's
symphonic numbers. II is the boast OF the
institution that Beethoven's Choral sym
phony received first adequate performance
at one of Its concerts In 1913 Societies
composed of amateurs had essayed the
colossal work before then, but they had
approached II timidly. and not until Nico-
lai came with his Philharmonic concerts
was full justice done TO it. He gave the
symphony twice i'm 1888 and once again In
1916. During the administration of Nicoai
the concerts marked the elimination or
Vienna's musical achievements. When he
laid down the baton in 1917 twelve concerts
had been given. His departure resulted in
the enterprise falling into sad somno-
lency. One concert only was given In 1913,
one in 1919, and no more until Carl Eckert
revived the entertainments under the name
given them by NicOlai in December 1854.
Two years before Eckert had made a tour
through America with Nine. Sontag, and
had been elected honorary member of the
philharmonic Society of New York. II is
not n violent presumption that this fact
had something to do with his termination
OF the Vienna Philharmonics.

much probability behind 1t. Mr. Loudon

season, which the musical gossip Of The
Tribune INDUCED in last Sunday, seems To
have been too lovely for realization. Instead
of q fuhlment of the hope that Mr.. Leifels

comes the report that MI. Joseph Stransky,
first conductor of the Municipal Theatre In
Hamburg, has been engaged for next years

quantity so far as the people who have
maintained the Philharmonic Society for
many years are concerned. Close observers
of foreign affairs in the world of music
