CONCERT BYr THE WAGNERIAN TRIO © 0900000 00000000000000000000 HE third Wagner concert, which took place Friday afternoon at the Califor- nia Theater, drew the largest audinece that has attended any of these lightful entertainments. To those who have enjoyed the dis- courses of Mr. Damrosch and the supe- rior singing of Mme. Gadski and Mr. Bisp- ham, and have become aware of the in- tensely pleasurable character of thelr offerings as well as their quite extraor- dinary importance, it is a gratification | second only to the enjoyment of the mu- | sic to note this material token of an in- creasing appreciation. The subjects of Friday's recital were “Lohengrin” and “Die Meistersinger,” and the manner In which these two won- | derous works were presented but empha- | sizes the art of the singers and the clever- | ness of Mr. Damrosch. He ma.lnlalnedi the standard of excellence which he set | for himself in his preceding expositions, | with a charm and dependableness that cannot be too highly extolled. The value | of his remarks and the enchantment of | his manner are evenly and equan{ sus- tained. His spell is sure and_he inevl Mr. Dam- rosch cannot disappoint. ‘While_ his treatment of the diverse operas has been consistently happy, it must not be supposed that he is either | monotonous or limited in fancy. On the | contrary, he handles the contrasting pur- | poses of the Wagnerian works with va- riety, tmagination, brillllance. His meth- i5_at _once synthetic and analytic, but whether he harmonizes or differen- | tiates, he gives to everything he touches | the charm of his own fascinating per- | S0 ty. | This ‘was exemplified Friday afternoon | in his delightful illumination of the stories | and the musical essence of “Lohengrin’ The legendary | character of one and the more earthly milieu of the other were set forth with the truest sympathy, understanding and charm. In his exposition of “Die Meistersing Mr. Damrosch expressed his theme with the perfect naturalness and humor be- | comirg the text, and those who have ex- perienced the charm of that spirit of playtalness which he occasionally insinu- ates In his most serious subjects, were | more than ever pleased at finding him in | this instance indulging it without let or | hindrance. | 1 am informed that the singulariy gcod translations of the texts which Mr. Dam- rosch uses are his own work, and further | that in the socre before him there are only the German words without cue or in- | dication that might assist his discourse, | and this is but another proof of his great capabiiity. | Nime. Gadski and Mr. Blspham sarg all | their numbers with a degree of charm that was a rich reward for all that were | there to hear. Mr. Bispham sang throughout the programme with a su- preme art that absolutely silences criti- cism, and he indorsed the former suc- | cesses in the serious phases of his work | by rendering Pogner's ‘“Address” in “‘Die | Meistersinger” with a comic spirit that displayed the most consummate skill. I can only offer one comment in an appraise- ment of his value as an artist, which is | his singing of the Beckmesser serenade, another comic item, which he | gave for the purpose of illustration, al- | thongh it is not suited to his vocal char- acter, he did not altogether succeed in disguising his own tone and quality. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Damrosc tured on ‘“Siegfried” and offered a most delightful exposition of this most impor- tant and interesting music drama. | measure in which each successive reciral | commends the charm and ability of this | delightful artist cannot be adequately ex- pressed. The concert which will take place at | the California Theater on Monday night | will be devoted to ‘‘Das Rheingoid” and | “Die Walkure.” THE ABRflflOFF. CONCERT. The concert given by Signor Abramoft at Sherman, Clay & Co.’s Hall Thursday was mixed in merit. The singing of Signor Abramoft himself was enjoyvable, for the power and quality of his voice showed no impairment, and he gave his two numbers with the same good school that is notice- able in his singing of congenial music. Ferdinand Stark contributed a violin solo with deserved success. The oppor- ably rewards anticipation. lec- occurs so seldom that a full appreciation of his ability is practically denied us. The programme was made up ]arzeli‘! of vocal selections by amateurs, of whom the majority showed nefther merit nor promise. I belleve on principle that the amateur without some signs of ability should be discouraged as a menace to the already contaminated ranks of profession- alism.” But few of the singers on last night's progamme can be said to seriously heaten the concert or operatic stage. Miss Paraskova Sandelin has a natural voice of rather good quality, but her style would seem to argue that Signor Abra- moff is either unsuccessful in Inculcating his own admirable method or {8 an In- structor whose potentiality has gone to seed. 1 would not say that he has fafled with William Van Norden, for this singer has nothing to him beyond an unbecoming am- bition, He sang “Celeste Aida” with an al- most Impossible ineptness, which was ev dent in the first bar of the martial recita- tive and continued to the final B flat. There was a marked exception to the eneral mediocrity in_the singing of James icholg, upon whom Signor Abramoff may set some store of credit. Mr. Nichols sang “Spirito Gentil” with not only an agree- able voice, but with evidence of artistic understanding and a _good grasp of the essential elements of finished vocalization. He is Inclined to overdo things in the use of tone color and in an effort at ex- pressiveness, but he undoubtedly has claims to acceptance and is one of the few amateurs that I know who show real promise. Hayving no other means of ad- vising Mr. Nichols, I would direect him to hunt up a certain phonograph parlor where he may hear “Spirito Gentil’” sung by Signor Giannini, a model of the pure bel canto.

The opening night at Fischer’s will be Monday, March 19, and if the management shall continue to present attractions as notable our new concert house is assvred of a warm place in San Francisco's af- fections. Jose Badarocco, the great tenur, whose voice was a revelation to musical people about town when he sang here last vinter with the Lambardi opera company, will be one of a delightful quartet, whose e Madame Barducci, soprano; Polettini, contralto, and Varg: the great barytoné. An orchestra of s teen pieces,under the leadership of Augu Hinrichs, will accompany these fine voic appropriately, and while you sit and enjoy your order from the cafe, which is part of the concert house, you may listen to and look at selected scenes from the greatest operas on the well arranged stage in front. The whole scheme is a combina- tion of music and companionable eating and drinking on the plan of the comfort- loving Germans. Americans are quite as comfort-loving and nearly as musical, so the concert house is likely to be a Success. A small admission fee Is to be charged, not large enough to keep away the thrift- iest music lover, yet sufficient to deter the undesirable element. Matinees will be iven on Wednesday, Saturday and Sun- ay afternoons, and to make the place still more attractive to ladies an entire balcony will be reserved for them and their escorts. E. A. Fischer, the proprietor of the new amusement_place, conducted the Oberon for years. The concert house will get the benefit of all of Mr, Fischer's experiance. 1. G. Mooser, whose name is familiar to newspaper men and amusement lovers throughout the East, will be business manager for this clever bid for patronage from the world which craves amusemeni. — ee——— A Very Select Party To be held at 717 Market street to-mor- row (Monday).

Much Saved Nowadays in Connection With the Fuel Supply. Some of the prominent utllizations of waste products which are well known to- day are in connection with the fuel sup- ply. In the production of charcoal from wood there are large volumes of acetic vapors which, when condensed, are of considerable value. By charring the wood in ovens or retorts and conveying the va- pors to condensers and stills the products are charcoal, pyroligneous acid, tar and uncondensable gases of considerable ther- mic value. These gases are used as fuel, the tar {s merchantable, and from the py- roligneous acid methyl alcohol, acetic acid and various commercial acetates are pro- duced. The influence of locality is quite marked in this utilization, for at some iron works many thousands of cords of wood are annually converted into char- coal, the pyroligneous acid as a by- product being made into acetates and wood aleohol. At other works the wood is charred to secure the pyroligneous acid, the charcoal being a by-product, but most of the wood cut for charcoal is charred, and no effort is made to coilect the acetic vapors. he same principle holds In regard to the manufacture.of coke. As a rule the products of distillation from the coal ‘while being cooked pass off into the air as dense smcke and are wasted, but at a number of localitigs the volatile matters are condensed, and commercial ammoni- ates, tar and gases of calorific value are utilized. It Is claimed that in addition to the commercial by-products from coking ten tons of average bituminous coal, in- condensable gases, equivalent in calorific value to one ton of coal, result. In the iron industry there are numerous applications In utilizing waste or refuse, including the production of cement, min- eral wool, paving. from blast furnace cinder; remelting of converting of unmerchant- able masses of metal, ladle-sculls, crop- ends, shearings, punchings, filings, etc.; the reroliing of ralls; the utilization of blast furnace gas to heat air, produce the LLederer’s ---Famous Gwitches...

Organized to Punish Those Who In- terfere in Love Affairs. What appears to be an organization of white caps is gperating in this city. T peculiar thing about the organization the motive behird it for the protection its members against the intrusion of out siders in affairs of love. The band, so far as can be learned, is cemposed of young men ranging in age from 18 to 20 years who are sworn to protect each other even unto death, iIf necessary, in order to keep young men who are not member. of the band from Infringing upon th rights and paying attemtion to the girl friends of any of the members. The v lation of any of the rules laid down in t by-laws of the organization means severe punishment to the offender, and swift jus. tice is meted out to the young man whe dares to mingle in the love affairs of a member of the band. Not long ago a young man from the out- side called upon one of the young woman friends of a member of the band, and w. passing the evening in her company N knock at the door brought the hostess and the leader of the band, who had ap- proached, asked In a pleasing manner if the young man were present. Receiving an answer in the affirmative, he requested to see the gentleman on business. As the young man stepped out into the darkness he was seized by the white caps and given a sound whipping and told to leave the place at once, which he did. Another case has just developed in which the punishment was more severe. The voung man, who was called from t presence of the girl on the second occa- sion, was subjected to the most brutal treatment possible. A coffee sack was thrown over his head, his hands were tied behind him and he was marched to the cemetery, fully a mile from the city, at the point of revolvers, while the me: bers followed with rhreats of violence case he uttered an outcry. At the ceme- tery a rope was tied about his neck, and the end thrown over a_limb of a tree. At this juncture the coffee sack w moved, and a ghost hearing a large kni in its hands sprang out of the darkness and came toward the crowd. The mask members of the band, at sight of the ghastly specter, broke and ran, and the young man became so frightened that he swooned and fell to the ground. The ghost, who was one of the white caps, disrobed, and, calling to the erowd, told them the young man had fainted. The limp form of the boy was carried back to the city and laid out upon the sidewalk, where he remained untfl passers-by chanced to find him, still In an uncon- scious condition. some hours afterward. So far the identity of the members has been kept a secret, and, though an effort has been put forth to locate the leaders, it has been to no avail. The last occur- rence has created considerable excite- ment.—Arcola, Ill., Cor. Chicago Record. SUPERFLUOUS HAIR And all other faclal blemishes are removed by DR. and MRS. A. W.
