DR.. Carl Engel, honorary president
Of the association, in speaking OF its
aims, began by quoting the oft-re-
peated but in this case particularly
significant proverb, 'L'Union fait la
force" In making this his opening
remark, DR.. Engel struck directly at
the weak point in our musical life and
in SO doing barred it to the con-
sideration of every one in a strikingly
bald manner. Every honest musician
must have felt that he had gone with
out subterfuge to the cankerous spot
lack of unity-that has long been
hidden under every endeavor and
every prospect that has been formed
for our mutual improvement. Now
that it has been revealed and put into
cold words, it remains for all to
recognize that until a lasting COM
munity of interests has been effected
all our talk and all our effort will fail
in their realization.
The next point, almost indissoluble
from the first, is the abolition of per-
sonal jealousy and the smallneSs that
comes with the attempt to succeed
above the next one and the methods
used to accomplish that end. Some
one once spoke Of such condition
of things musical as being the mil
lenium" but there is no reason that
an effort cannot be made to reach
even that much-desired state. The
ethics and morals of profession
have not sufficiently been incorporated
in a musicians training. nor has the
individual musician comprehended that
that there is right and a wrong
way from a moral standpoint in
pushing forward his own career. This
is one of the results that will without
doubt be brought about by the newly
formed association.
There is almost constant talk OF
the need of making Washington "a
leading musical center" and as If
that were the only manner OF attain
ing such a position, new concert
courses are constantly being arranged
for. But it is not the number OF
great artists or orchestras that can
be listed in our musical season that
alone will make this city outstand-
ing musically; it is the teaching pro-
fesSion and the individual artist on
whom the responsibility rests. And
as long as each goes his own way,
pulling in various directions, without
sympathy or kindlineSS toward each
other, then there is no hope that a
change can be effected. The sharing
of interests and the proper apprecia-
tion of each other will surely follow
when musicians are able to consult
with one another in conformation
with the plan of the new association.
The next new angle stressed by
DR.. Engel was the great necessity of
educating the parents to the idea that
music was as essential to general
culture as any other serious study.
Citing his own rebellion at being re-
quired to study Greek and Latin when
at school, a similar rebellion that
many another can remember, and
how, after many years, he understood
the disciplinary value Of these studies,
he classed the simple study of music
as of equal mental training to the
dead languages. The idea of the eX-
cellence of music study, quite apart
from any plan to follow it profess
sionally, is one that is not easy to
drive home to many parents. Either
it is considered a waste Of time or
else the ambition to have their chill

Dr.. Condor Explains
Departments Budget
Commissioners Approve Estimates With Apparent
Increase-Water Rents Questioned

An apparent increase in the re-
ouesfed school budget this year
was explained by Superintendent
of Schools Thomas J. Condor In
letter read at the meeting OF the
board Of education yesterday. Al
though the budget last year re-
uuested sl,S49.5S9 compared with
Z request this year for $1,S55.gOO.
Dr. Condor explained that last
wears requested budget did not
contain an item of $SS,1o0, auueu
by the board of finance. In view
II this addition, DR. Condon,s let
ter stated, the new budget Is act
llally less than last years.
The budget was approved as
submitted by the board and refer

Single men who attended
the city court session today
left with no thought more cer-
tain than ssDon't get married"
for the session this morning
produced all sorts of marital
difficulties, from beaten ana
abused wives to drinking hls-
bands.
First o woman married for
more than 20 years claimed
that she had been beaten reg
ulnrly during that time, but
she stood It until Sunday night
when her husband spent most
OF the night pulling bed covers
from hef. and striking and
plnching her. The husband,
displaying bruise near his
eye, said his wife had given 1t
to him.
Another wife wanted to Sc
parate from her husband and
get a weekly allowance, elaine
ing that she couldn't put up
with his drinking any longer.
Every weekend, she alleged,
he insisted ON getting drunk
and causing trouble at home.
and she declared that she
could not stand any more OF
OF his banging on tables and
doors.
The next wife, who had her
, husband arrested for nOn-sup-
port, had been divorced from
the arrested husband and
married again, but he had
ben ordered previously to con-
tribute to her weekly.
just to add to the domestic
tinge of the court session there
were three other nOn-suppOrt
matters heard.

vey the impression that we are be-
coming extravagant rather than
practicing economy. For that rea-
son an explanation is necessary.
"1st. When the budget of last
year amounting to $1,S49,58
was approved and sent to the
board of finance, that board di-
rected us to include an item of
$33,750 for water rents. This was
entirely new, such an item never
before having appeared in our
budget. Adding the amount ap-
proved by this board to this new
item. we had an estimated budget
of $1,833,339.6O. We are asking
this year for $1,S53,93S.76, this
years estimate also containing
an item of $33,750 for water rents.
Therefore, taking what we are ask
ing this year from what was asked
last year, we are actually re-
questing $29,400.S4 less.
No List Padding
End. From the $1,SS3,S39 so re-
quested for 1884 the board of f.
nance made reductions amounting
to $S1.S51. rs. OF this reduction
$71,776.75 was made in salaries.
At the very start. therefore, we
were confronted with an almost
impossible task. The salary esti-
mates presented to the board of
finance were based entirely on
positions actually existing at the
time. There was absolutely no
padding of that list. Therefore,
this huge cut of $71,776.75 could
be made up only by discharging
employees, or by failing to fill
vacancies as they occurred. With
business conditions only slightly
improved there has not been, nor
has there been for the past few
years. the usual turnover among
teachers. Nevertheless, through
strict economy, we have been able
thus far this year to effect salary
savings of $41,0s0.S4. Almost $33,-
600 of this was effected in teach
ers' salaries. the balance coming
from savings in the payrolls of
other employees of the department.
A study of the budget estimates
for 1884 and 1895 will show that
we are asking at this time for
teachers salaries $32,7S5.30 less
than was requested year ago.
1884 Budget Slashed
"These facts are presented to
you at this time to show that real
economy has been practiced in
this department and that the APP
parents increase in the estimates
for 1894 is due entirely to the
huge slash given to our budget
estimates for 1884"
