PROGRAMME MUSIC
AT SYMPHONY CONCERT
Harold Bauer, Old German and
Unfamiliar French Heard

The concert Of the Symphony So
ciety which was given in Aeolian Hall
yesterday afternoon and which will be
repeated tomorrow afternoon was de-
voted TO music by Joachim Raft. Ger
man, and Cesar Franck, a Belgian; and
all OF II. save the concluding number,
was programmatic.
Rats "Lenore" symphony has been
Internationally awakened from its slum-
bers since IL wore out its popularity
twenty-five or thirty years ago. but IL
is good specimen Of that easily COM
pretended sort Of picture-musc which

cause II sounds we'll and Is easily com
prehended), and yesterdays audience
welcomed il quite enthusiastically,
though Mr.. Damrosch gave it an ex-
tremely perfunctory performance.

ments from Psyche" and the familiar
symphonic variations. also for orches-
ira and pianoforte, or better in this
case) for pianoforte and orchestra.
Mr.. Harold Bauer was the solo player
in the two works into which the piano.
forte entered. The first was, we think,
a novelty in our concert rooms; at any
rate, we cannot, out of hand, recall
previous performance. 1t is singular
work which il is not easy to associate
with the poem b. Victor Hugo from
which it took its name, and which de-
scribes to the eye (by what Vincent
d'lndy called its "lozenge" form, as
well as TO the mind, the coming and
going of a rout of ghostly demons. In
teresting the music is. especially in its
treatment of the pianoforte as an in
tegral element OF an orchestra, but II
can scarcely be said to possess beauty
or charm. In this IL differed widely
from the variations, and also from the
delightful bits of descriptive music
from Psyche" with which. some thir-
teen years ago Mr.. Damrosch first put
the name of Cesar Franck upon pro-
gramme of the Philharmonic Society.
The two fragments are the only
numbers of psyche" which are purely
orchestral. The first is designed TO
delineate the scene in which Gin the
beautiful old story Psyche sleeps and
becomes dreamily conscious of the hap
piness which fate has in store for her.
The second pictures her borne away
by Zephyr to the Garden of Eros. This
latter piece is a delicious scherzando,

Theodore Thomas as long ago as 1898.

Chalmers was true Bohemian-hu-

while he sang the music with grace and

Virgilio Lazzari was also excellent

Ricardo Martin was in good voice,
but his Rodolfo lacked Elasticity and
poetic fire. If Mr.. Martin, who has a
beautiful natural voice, would pay
greater attention TO his phrasing and
his general impersonation he would do
wisely.
Miss Maggie Teyte was not French,

APPEALS FOR AID
North Carolina Will Add
Four to Every Dollar
Given to Institution

Every dollar contributed from the
Northern states means a dollar from
the North Carolina state treasury for
the education Of the negro at the Slater
Industrial and State Normal School,
according to an appeal issued by the
treasurer, William A. Blair. of Win
ston-Salem. n. c. The state officials
have offered to give $4,000 to improve
the institutions educational facilities.
provided the trustees raise a like sum.
1--WE have made a strong effort. but
have raised very little of this amount
TO meet the money generously advanced
by the state" Mr.. Blair announces. 1t
is impossible for us to raise it here
because our own people have already
done all they can do.
with $24, 900 cash we can increase
the plant greatly. as the colored people
will do much of the manual labor free.
"The influence of this school has
ended all race friction here. The in
stitution is not an experiment but a
splendid reality, being as important as
any in the entire South. save Hampton
and Tuskegee.
Zone of our citizens rendered the
trustees $4,000. provided they would
raise the same amount for a hospital
for the sick. There colored girls could
be educated for trained nurses. thus
introducing an employment for colored
women which is well adapted peculiarly
to the Southern ideals Of propriety.
His offer was accepted and we have
built the hospital. The graduates. stu
dents and friends of the school did
much Of the manual labor"
The state officials. seeing the good eff
feet of the institution on the colored
people. decided to contribute $4,000 on
the conditions named.
