Chicago 'Stutioner and Printer. ‘The persons who are to ‘be concerned as deeply as any one in the spelling-reform in- novation are the printers. Others may write about it and study it, but the printers are to be brought into direct contact with it in their business, And the question is, Mow is the thing going to work, and what is the opinion of the printers concerning its practicability? A representative of this journal culled upon several of the prominent printers of Chicago to get their views. Knight & Leonard believed the reform was ‘a hum- bug, which yo printer will adopt unlessa customer comes along and wants his job set up after that style. ‘The only way to do then would be to stick the rules of the spelling- reformers on the cases,and tell thé boys to follow them. ‘The quickest way to introduce the reform will be fo get out a Josh Billings dictionary and substitute it for Webster.” J. J. Spaulding & Co. thought the reform was a good thing. ‘They believed the changes and rules as lai out by the American Spell- ing-Reform Association were very commend- able. The believed Tue TrmBuNE was act- ing very sensibly in adopting it in their office. In order to make it practicable, these rules should be adopted simultaneously through- out the-country, ‘Chey did not think it would be ditlicult to introduce the reform; and they believed that, printers, proof-readers, etc., could easily bé made to comprehend it. Jameson & Morse thought it was bad enough to have two dictionaries now, with- out getting any more improvements, Some- times their customers won't take a job just because they followed Webster instead of Worcester in spelling. If, they had another dictionary the devil would be to pay. How- ever, He everybody agreed to it, the reform might work. Rand, MeNally & Co., thought the reform was tho best thing out. They believed it was erfectly practicable and ought to be adopted. ‘The printers were good spellers, and they would take to the reform. They believed too much time was wasted'trying to teach, On the subject of the introduction of the fonetic. characters into general puinting, the printers were unanimous -as to the great trouble and inconvenience it would cause. It would necessitate the rearrangement of the cases, as well as the addition of some eight or ten boxes. | Pensioners on Pain. ‘B Some people suffer for years wit ney Or liver disorders, not knowing tbat Kidney-Wort can relieve and cure them.

The Thursby Concerts and Gil- * more’s Anthem. The Next Concert of the Apollo Club. ASupplementary Season of French Opera. Emil Liebling’s Second Recital—News at Home and Abroad. CHICAGO. .THE THURSBY CONCERTS. On next Friday night and Saturday after- noon will be the only notable musical events of the coming week, and Mr. Carpenter has sueceeded in combining features in his pro- gram that will undoubtedly attract large au- diences to the Central Music-Hall. The pub- lic will find a strong attraction in the compa- ny of fine artists who are associated with Miss Thursby, and in Gilmore’s ‘ National Hymn.” . It has been arranged to present Gilmore’s composition with an effective en- semble, andin much the same style as it was first produced in New York. Miss Emilie Gavin, whose ability especially qualifies her to develop whatever patriotic or poetic sen- timent lurks beneath or between the lines of Gilmore’s anthem, will recite the ode. Miss Thursby will here, as in New York, sing the solo part, assisted by Mr. Branson, the new tenor, whom Strakosch will, in these con- certs, present for the first’ time to our public. Mr. Tomlins has an especially drilled chorus of some 200 voices, who will do the choral vortion of the anthem, and altogether it seems probable that whatever possibilities there are in Gilmore’s: contribution to our patriotic and National musical literature will be developed in this hearing. Outside the interest attached to the first performance in the West of a new musical composition, the concerts will be attractive in that they will bring back the superb violoncellist, Fischer, who is unquestionably one of the most fin- ished and artistic living: performers on his instrument. Ferranti will furnish the mu- sieal humor, as before, and Adamowski isthe violinist of the company, while, as already mentioned, another of Strakosch’s protégés will be introduced,—a Mr. Branson, about whom little is known. The programs are not yet: announced,. but it is understood that one of- Miss Thursby’s numbers will be the celebrated -“ grand scena and aria” from Ambroise Thoinas’ “ Hamlet,” in the singing of which in Paris she set the Parisians wild with delight, and called forth from Aanbroise ‘Thomas a remarkably. eulogistic letter. To many this selection will be a greater musical attraction than the Gilmote Ilymn. 1{The matinée on’ Saturday will give the. residents of the suburbs, who have not for many years had any opportunity to hear Miss Thursby, 2 convenient chance to attend one of the concerts, and undoubtedly a great many will take advantage of the facilities offered them. = THE APOLLO CLUB is actively engaged in preparations for its next concert, which promises some very en- tertaining musical features to its subscribers. The principal number of the program will be, as already has been announced, Max Briich’s “Frithjof,’ but much of the inter- est of the concert will centre in the compet- itive singing of the Milwcukee Arion So- ciety, which will attend this concert in a body, and the Apollo Club,—a’ portion of the program being given up to selections alternately sung by each of the clubs, and bringing out their individual mnerits by the contrasting: of the singing. It is:probable also that the Ladies’ Chorus will take part in the concert, singing several se- lections separately from the Minnerchor, and thus, besides giving variety to the program, showing the public the different. styles o! music capable of being presented by the Club. If this is done, the concert will be one of more than ordinary interest. We are, requested to announce that there will be a full rehearsal of the ladies and gen- tlemen of the Apollo Club at Apollo Ilall, in Central Music-Hall Block, to-morrow even- ing, atSo’clock, A full attendance is ear- nestly requested; also that the select chorus arranged for by Mr. Tomlins to singin the Thursby concert will meet for. rehearsal at 7 o’clock on to-morrow evening in Apollo Hall, Central Music-Iall Block. A promptattend- ance is earnestly requested, and all who have signified their intention to unice in this chorus are desired to report at this final re- hearsal. * ~~; THE LIEBLING RECITAL. The recent piano recital by Mr.. Emil Liebling, the second of aseries of three de- signed for this season, was an occasion worthy of special mention, not only for the general character of the program, but for the remarkable facility with which the different numbers were performed, showing in.a great degree the versatility of the pianist. The @ inajot trio of Haydn, so full of quaintness and charming simplicity, was elegantly done, The andante, particularly, ‘seemed to’ ap- peal to the hearts of the darge audience. The attention given to this was indeed a compliment to the performers. In this Mr. Liebling had the assistance of Mr. Lewis (violin) and Mr, Eichheim (cello). The climax of the recital, however, was reached in the Chopin F minor concerto, in which a second piano, -performed by Miss Inger- soll, and quintet. accompaniment, under the direction of Mr. Hans Balatka, was a fitting finale to so fine a program. Without doubt this number displayed the ability of Mr. Liebling at its best, showing the result of careful study throughout the concerto. The same repose was evident in the most dificult cadenza as in the most sim- ple passage. ‘This was the best performance Mr. Liebling has ever done in. this. city, and we are of the opinion that few pianists in this country would have the courage to at- tempt the program of this occasion. There were many numbers of modern authors, all of which were interesting and performed | with the same dignity and elegance which characterized the entire performance. Mr. Liebling should be congratulated on the suc- cess of these recitals. The audience was The next and last of the series will occur about April 1, of which timely notice will be given. LOCAL MISCELLANY, Miss Sara W. Hayman, and Miss Kittie Richards have been appointed assistant teachers at the Chicago Alusical College.

Gilbert and Sullivan’s new work, ‘The Pirates of Penzance,” will be yaen in this city early in Marely at both Haverly’s and McVicker’s, and on the same dates. It is likely that a broken’ contract will speedily turn up as a subject for litigation in the courts, What is the matter with the pianists? Joseffy’s finger continues so bad that he had to give up the Boston concerts, and now Rummel has slipped down on the ice and broken his leg. His Western engagements with Miss Thursby will have to be given up in consequence. ‘The soirée musicale given last week at the Chicago Musical College by the pupils of Miss Mary Wishard was a very successful affair. The young misses acquitted them- selves creditably, and Miss Ettie Butler con- tributed to the enjoyment of the evening with her fine singing, Grau’s French opera troupe will return here on the 23d inst. for a week’s season at Tlaverly’s, when the following operas will be. produced: “Mignon,” “Afme, Favart,” “Le Petit Due,” “Les Brigands,”?

The number was sung in supert style, and all the singing of the evening testi- fied to the excellence of the work which Mrs. Kempton is Going and the great progress made by her pupils. : The sixth soirée of Mr, Liebling’s pupils took place last evening at Pelton & Pome roy’s pinno-rooms.

Mehlig, who was so deservedly popular in this coun- try, has made her appearance as a pianist in London, Her name is Bertha Mehlig, and, like her sister, she is said to be an artist of decided ability. Adelina Patti’s seventh appearance in ‘Vienna was to take place on the 26th of Jan- uary, when, by special request, “* The Bar- ber of Seville” was to be performed. On the same occasion she was to sing the cele- brated rondeau,“ Dall’ aurora,” from Meyer- beer’s opera “ Der Nordstern.” Henri Vieuxtemps’ health has improved much since his residence in Algiera. The climate of that country has been very benc- ficial to that virtuoso, who has occupied him- self in- his leisure moments in collecting Arab songs, From Moscow also it ‘is an- nounced that the health ot the great virtuoso, Henri Wieniawski, is restored. Mr. Sullivan says that-he is compelled to return to England to conduct the London Festival, and expresses regret that he is una- ble to make the trip through the country which he promised himself earlier. in the season. He consoles himself with the reflec- tion that he is to return in October, when he and Mr. Gilbert will have a new piece ready. Foreign criticisms show that Maurice Den- gremont is making steady progress, not only In technique, but also in musical feeling. This is an indication that his ambition is to become an artist when his age no longer al- Jows him to figure as an infant prodigy. His playing of Beethoven is highly spoken of, and stltts, isa proof of his artistic tempera- men A London critic, in writing of Schott. the German tenor, in “ Rienzi,” says: -‘Herr Schott proved to be a gigantic and athletic man, with a stentorian tenor voice—in short, a vocalist who shouted in the most com- mendable fashion, but always and invariably out of tune. It was thisfearful, false intona- tion which caused Dr. Von Biilow, at Hano- ver, to lay down the conductor’s baton and stop his ears with his two hands in full view of the audience. Dr. Von Biilow somewhat roughly told him ‘he was fit only for the cir- ens over the way?; probably in reference to the fact that Herr Schott was, during the Franco-German war, an officer in a cavalry regiment, and that he is a fine equestrian.” <a LOCAL IMPROVEMENT. DESPLAINES STREET. * The second meeting of property-owners on Desplaines street, between Monroe and Har- rison, was held at No. 243.South Desplaines street Inst evening, Mr. M. B. Harrison in the chair, The report of the committee ap- pointed at the previous meeting to look up the cost of the different kinds of pavement was read by Mr. Rooney, and the following are the figures as obtained from a prominent contractor: The asphalt pavement would cost $200 a lot of twenty-five feet front; the wooden block pavement, $80; granit blocks, $216; macadamizing, $125. ‘AS the assess- ment had already been made in.the Council, and is said to have been confirmed by the Court, for the paving of the street, it-was suggested that it would be est to have the —property-owners ‘take hold and have. the street macadamized in- stead of wooden-blocked. This seemed to be the view of “the ma- jority, though there were some who said hey Would like to sce the street remain as it isit Itcould bedone. Aftera gond deal of discussion, a Committee of five -was appoint- ed to obtain signatures to a petition asking the Council to allow the propertyowners to macadamize the street. The following-is the Committee: Afessrs. Newman, Dunn, Good- man, Taylor, and Rooney. Mr. John Lussem spoke in favor of widening Desplaines street, from Harrison to Twelfth, to sixty feet, and hoped the gentlemen present would codperate with those of the-south end of the street who were laboring to that end, He suggested the combining of the two -forces with a view of-influencing the Council for both projects. Several gentlemen signified their Willingness to beat the Counell-Cham- ber Monday evening to labor with the Alder- men tothatend. The meeting adjourned to next Saturday evening at the same place. DEARBORN STREET BRIDGE. The owners of property interested in hay- ing a bridge built across the river at Dear- born street held an adjourned meeting yes- terday afternoon, at 4:30 o’clock, in the club- room of the Tremont House. Judge Wood presided. Mr. Sawyer, from tlie Committee to wait on the Council, stated that the City. Engineer’s estimate of $59,000" was for an iron bridge with stone foundations. The Committee had found .that the matter was now pénding in the Council, and when the subject of bridges was reached somé mem- ber of ‘the Committee should suggest the thing to one of the Aldermen and have the item inserted in the appropriation bill, There was. money enough to build the bridge, and he believed that it could ‘be ear- ried through the Council if the persons in- terested would push it. ° The fact of the Chicago Gas Company hay- ing a main under the river, it was stated, proud not work against it, as it would not be, in the way. Mr. Jatkin had _nothing to’ add to Mr. Sawyer’s remarks, He said that’a pile bridge could be built for $16,0W.
