Baltimore Sun (Newspaper) - January 13, 1897, Baltimore, Maryland �?�8 the run. Baltimore. Wednesday Moening. January 13, 1897. Burmeister night. The Peabody pianists Success As an orchestra director immediate. Concert at i sic h All to raise funds for a permanent orchestra Here. Walter Danio Aehl a new York symphony orchestra secured through a guarantee fund from i Alclo Long citizens the was m. Pol l Lancon. The famous operatic Basso a original composition. The Damrosch symphony orchestra came Over from Philadelphia yesterday afternoon and gave under the direction of or. Richard Burmeister. A Superb concert at the Musio Hail last night. Apart from the unusual interest of the concert itself there were two circumstances which added not a Little to its importance. In the first place. Or. Burmeister made his initial to before a Baltimore audience As an orchestral conductor and secondly Tho prime object of the concert was to create an interest in or. Burm<l6ter�?Ts scheme of founding a permanent orchestra in this City. An auspicious affair. The Dei it of or. I urmeister. Who for a about ten years has been widely and favourably known in Baltimore As a pianist bad been awaited with much expectancy. Would hts Success As a conductor be As marked As his reputation As a pianist such questions As this the Friendly audience asked itself last it get when the popular virtuoso made Bis appearance on the stage. Even thing seemed to bomb the to make the affair auspicious and flattering to the conductor. The soda Side of the evening bad been especially exploited by the energetic lady managers who had throughout the entire wot of preparation taken a very live interest. There it an be no doubt that it would have been difficult to obtain a body of players Over whom directing have been a pleated pleasure. In a very particular in a bib Baltimore orchestra have been in the rust especially deficient the dam Roach air Reg thin s unusually Strong. In the brass and the Wood wind in Ruments it to probably unsurpassed in Amer Sci. Manner a a Bender. During the entire concert t e new director had bus men Well in band. His manner was energetic serious and careful. The orchestra has exited quite a number of years Bas been directed by another Man at e i tie creation of another director. To till or. By rim liter s personality sufficiently in evidence to show that the w. Re done it Tho few rehearsals which he bad been Able to conduct a d not been superfluous. His in thus to n a every when to Parana and this a an important fact r in he difficult task which be had set for him a f. A splendid orchestra the concert self wus it site unique in its excellence an orchestra of the highest rank. A who is one of the very greatest bring singers and finally a programme of undoubted a Orth. The Dmn a Ach orchestra has always been famous tor i s performance of the overture to w Reg Nero so die met term in it in re and in this numb a which was the opening Orte. It in no Way d parted from its traditionally excellent performance. Beet love tip a fifth symphony. The so Phouy selected was Beethoven f. The in t minor. From the frequent performances g von of this work at the Peabody ins it Ute it Bas become in this City probably the Best known of a1 of Beethoven s nine symphonies certainly belter known than the Eroica the pastorale or the ninth which Are More famous. In View of its Tarn part toe selection was. Then. Quite a harpy one. As it gave in admirable Opportunity to judge of the abilities of the Rcw conductor. I Bat be pleased the audience al it a is quote apparent from the very Hearty recalls that he got after each of the movements. A number by or. Burmeister. The remaining orchestral numbers were a a a Capriccio a by or. Burmeister and Hector Berlioz s arrangement of a the Rakoczy or. Buret step s contribution proved to be a Graceful and pleasing Novelty which it is Hood Wilt be frequently Beard. The concluding Berlioz composition forms a tri my Xidous finale to a concert and never fails to be an effective one. It was Given a performance that brought out fully the Brilliant but comp sex orchestration which is the characteristic a if its author. M. Bol Rinar nne Triumph. The management was Peculiar fortunate in b ing Able to secure the services of plan con As a . There is probably no Singer before the Public today who combines in a greater degree the qualities which Are always attractive to an Aulinee composed of but the musical and unmusical people. His splendid physique his dramatic style and a certain French piquancy that colors All his doings even to his Entrance up n the stage or his Demeanour while singing a Rve As effective adjuncts to an artistic method which is almost incomparable. He Sang an Arm from Gounod s a Queen of Reba a a that apparent a inexhaustible storehouse for the concert Singer but which strange to say. Bas Bren unsuccessful As an opera. The song Given by a Plancon was written originally for baritone but in the transposed form is More frequently engr by Bass voices. The English version of the aria is entitled a she alone cd amp a met my at his second appearance a group of three songs with piano accompaniment by or. J Burmeister were Sung. Bev were a a a von a by Augusta Holmes we Dora a serenade a Lenfant in Atunez and a French version of Schumann s a wanderer s in response to the loud applause Schumann s a twi grenadiers was give n. singing of this song is very dramatic. And in its conclusion consisting of a la Marset Ilai a a he became almost frenzied and with the last note he extends his Arm in a manner which Bas come to be regarded As a necessary accompaniment to his singing of this song. Demand for an orchestra. The history of Iff its to establish a permanent symphony orchestra in this City is not very encouraging. The collapse of the Peabody a amp Tony orchestra which for Many years bad been a very important element in local musical life. Or doubtless the result of the unfriendliness of local musical unions. But the absence of first cd ass orchestral players will partly explain the decline in the interest for these Coneen. I be Brilliant career of the philharmonic orchestra under the direction of Edward Helmut dab was also Cut Short after two reasons of excellent work by Laok of patronage. In spite of these reverses there Oan however be no doubt Toat there is a demand for instrumental concerts and that the Public will Welcome any Effort to Supply this demand. The attempt of or. Burmeister is therefore timely and the outcome of Bis energetic work in this direction will be watched with great interest. Sucre a in Oiler cities. The Brilliant Success that Bas crowned the munificence of colonel Higginson the founder of the Boston symphony orchestra is an i Zenople of what can be achieved artistically and financially if the foundation is Laid in a proper manner and of the Public is Ripe for Tho reception of such plans. The same May be said of the Brilliant achieved by Theodore Thomas in Chicago. There Are two other cities to ooh smaller in size which support first class symphony orchestras notably. Cincinnati and Rochester. A successful career. Or. Burmeister was Thorn in i860 in Hamburg. He studied in the gymnasium of Bis Nan be City. And when seventeen years of age his parents decided to Send him to a University to study Medicine. At his urgent request he was permitted to follow Bis Chorea vocation As a musician. His studies id cheer and on toe piano were prosecuted under the direction of professor Mertena of the Bach society of Hamburg. Studies i Niter Liszt after several years or serious study be went to Weimar where be continued Bis musical career under the supervision of the great master Liszt with whom be found great favor. During his studies with Liszt he appeared frequently in concerts. Connection with the Peabody. On his return to Ham Burg he received after a Brilliant concert a professorship at the conservatory in Hamburg. After a year s work there he received a Call to the Peabody Institute to succeed prof. Carl Faelten who had accepted the directorship of the new Engi Aud conservatory of music in Boston. Or.

Or. Daniel c. Gilman president pro tora. Of the new school Board outlined at a meeting of the Board last night in the school Board room. City Hall his position toward the old school Board. A i Ara said he a that every member of this body desires to act in accordance with the Law and to treat with the utmost consideration and Courtesy those who have been and still claim to be the duly constituted Board of commit loner of Pullo schools. A was the rights of the body of which we Are members Are questioned by authorities that we highly respect it is particularly important that our proceedings should be marked by deliberation As Well As by Courtesy and that we should of operate with the other Boily just referred to in presenting the Case to the proper court. A until a judicial decision is reached it seems to me that to to Board should refrain from any proceedings except those which seem to be imperative. A May i add that or motive in consenting to become at this a school commissioner is to support the mayor to the discharge of those duties which the Law officers of the City As i understand pronounce to be obligatory upon precautionary measures. Some questions having Arisen As to the legality of toe acts of the new Board at its first i meeting on january 8. Stet a were taken last i night to place the matter Bejou Coutros vers -. The Point of illegality was raised upon the ground that no quorum was present to organize Tho Board al its first meeting. There were present last night All the ii Iem of the Board except aug messes. Darnel the Danci Nii the or. Fire Bohra tree appears As Duke of guts Bury at the Academy of music. The spectacle of a Man whose instincts Are otherwise Good go lug to perdition because he believes that the position be holds in an Ultra cultivated society demands an expression of entire viciousness is not profit a e. By Hen ooh a picture is presented with All the realistic environment of a polished actor s Art As accomplished by or. Scerbo Batree last night at toe Academy of music lug the dancing girl a it is Renje de doubly disagreeable by reason of its suggested Rutn. This Man in the play is Tho Duke of Guise Bury. The English Duke or other Nobleman of that country As popularly conceived by established tenets of the stage is a creature whose existence is tolerated solely on the condition of supplying amusement or Posig As Butts for the incisive wit. Or again having impressed an audience with the idea that be is More or less stupid and imbecile he is prone to break fort h at intervals regulated by dramatic demands with Bright tilings. Win or Wise. In the epigrammatic line. Or. Tree in his rendition of the part although never neglecting Tho Ever present Opportunity for humor characters it by polished repression aul absolute quietness a to gesture and speech. He shows Glim Pees or True manliness underlying the studied per stench of a determined votary of vice. Jet he does not intrude with heroic show. The demands a it a display of varying emotion Are artistically met with tile same re pression that would naturally appear in the acts of a mode9t,.tbougu tar from moral Man. Miss rate Rorke in the title role renders a fair impersonation Aud is at ber Best in her scenes Wii the Dune which Call for delicate finesse. In the More robust passages she indulges the tendency common to Many of her country women to overrate the line betwixt True Art and ran. Yet Sho is in the main. Thoroughly acceptable. The play its of As known to most theatregoers. In a socioeconomic review the moral of which is at Best. Indefinite and Uncertain. The love of the instinctive goo i yet perverted Man for the Beautiful dancing girl who takes a downward step As the gradation of longing for weal h and Power and Bis subsequent reclamation to a con volitional virtue in a decidedly unconventional War is Ideres Ingy pictured in the rapid succession of absorbing incidents. It is a surviving relic of the recent demand for theatrical productions that band e insidious so Jacial problems with India tut Abio taste. Manski eld so Prince his appearance in this Light comedy to hours his remarkable versatility by contrast. It would be hard to find a More striking evidence of or. Richard Mansfield remarkable versatility than the fact that on monday night at a Ibaugh a lyceum theatre a played sir John so bras in Quot Castle so bras a while last night he played Prince Karl in Tho Light comedy of that title which Baa Long been a feature of bus repertory. Monday night his part was sombre grew some cynical that of a Mao to whom the j lighter graces of life were As unknown As dynamite warfare in the Cavalier Days to which he belonged. Last night Bis Prince von Arnheim was Light hearted merry careless. Charming to Maimer and quite modern in his ways and characteristics. The play is one of the lightest sort written by Archibald Clavering Gunter the author of a score of novels and plays of trivial character Aud great ephemeral popularity it would no longer deserve a place in or Mansfield s repertory were it not for this contrast mod tor the fact that to or. s friends every stage portrait which he creates has to separate interest. Mrs. Mansfield is always pleasing in ber acting and her part in a Prince Karl is no exception. Ton Gilt or. Mansfield will Plav a King Richard Iii a tomorrow night and saturday matinee.

Sent a note to or. Charles e. Ford about 6 of clock stating that be bad advised ber not to play at night As she would in bus opinion. Jeopardize her chances of playing during the rest of the week. Of she rested she would in All probability be a e to play the remaining five performances. This letter was posted by or. Ford to be read by Bis Patron.

To engage in the sugar business caused the conflict. Yesterdays Cut was in response to a like reduction by Tho Wood son Ploe company. Baltimore cd it a roasters followed the Cut it is tut d that the present Price of Green Coffee does not justify the Cut prices and this Ian to reduction will practicably wipe out the profit of rotating Coffee. An interesting phase of the situation is a move by the firm of Arbuckle Brothers in purchasing minority holdings in the Quot a ool Sou company. This it is said. Oui the firm in a position to Appeal to Tho c urts on tao ground of conspiracy. A receivership for the no Olson j would then be asked on the claim that the majority interests wire wrecking the interests of the minority.

A committee of the retail tobacco dealers protective association Cal al on sheriff Muson yesterday Aud asked him to take me a sures to prevent Saloon keepers from interfering with their business. They said they do not object to the Sale of cigars in saloons but want the 6aie of tobacco Aud other articles of the tobacconists Trade stopped in such places. The sheriff referred the committee to the liquor License commissioners. He said the sales complained of would cease of the License commissioners would notify Saloon keepers that their licenses would be revoked of such sales were not stopped by a certain Date. When the committee called at the License commissioners rooms ill three commissioners were away but they explained the of j it of their Call in a letter which was referred to col. Thomas s. Hodson. Counsel to the Board. The tobacconists will probably talk Over their grievances with colonel Dodson today. As matters now stand the License commissioners Are of the opinion that the state s attorney is the proper person to take Motlon against Saloon keepers charged with Selling merchandise without a License. A different Oak a will arise if Saloon keepers take out a traders License and afterwards apply for a renewal of their liquor License.

A the Only Relief tile institution can get at this time a he say a will he through governor Lowndes a a discreet exercise of tile pardoning Power warranted by conditions the Board to meet on Friday. Sex governor Brown in speaking yesterday of the overcrowded condition of the House of correction said that the state sooner or later must enlarge that institution. The original plans provided for two wings be said Only one of which bad been constructed. As the population of the state was growing. It was but natural to suppose that thl Sclass of prisoners would increase proportionately. A until the general Assembly thinks proper to enlarge the to continued a a and even after the better remedy would in Ray judgment be in Tho line of my recommendation to the general Assembly that provision be made for confining certain clauses of the Able bodied prisoners in the various county jails and that they. Under the direction of Tho respective sheriff be put to work on the roads near the county seats in sufficient proximity to the jail to avoid the necessity of transportation Otner than the prison Van or country Wagon. By this system of distributing the men through the state there would soon be a vast improvement in the Pullo roads within a radius of several Miles of each county seat would have a tendency to stimulate Road improvement throughout the entire state and would relieve property holders of a certain proportion of taxation for the improvement of Public roads besides relieving the House of correction and preventing overcrowding. Quot there is not much Effort on the part of the class of prisoners confined there to 6�Cape. As most of the sentences Are Short and they fear a rearrest and perhaps longer confinement of committed a second time. Comparatively few of them Are committed for serious crimes therefore no or it at detriment could arise to the Community of any one or More of them should by Accident is i Cape. Only possible Relief. A was the statutes of tile state have not As i yet provided for Tho overcrowded condition which now exists the Only Relief the inst Ltd ton can get at this time will be through the j hands of our chief executive. Governor a Lowndes. Quot i think the conditions warrant and Public i opinion approves of a discreet exercise of the j pardoning Power which the executive alone p Asepsis particularly when it is the duty of the state through its officers so far As in its a Power lies to preserve the health of the i prisoners during their ter in of confinement which cannot be done in Tho condition in which i am informed the institution now is with two prisoners in each cell. A upon examining the records of the in i siltation it will be found i think that there i Are a great Many prisoners Cou fluid who Are j non residents of the b ate who have drifted 1 into Maryland along the line of the various Lail Wais and have been committed As i vagrants for Short periods. of prisoners could be pardoned upon the condition that they should not re turn to the state within sixty Days. Cheap Ira of per Alloo could be s cured and they j could be conveyed to the localities whence i they came it is extremely doubtful of they would subject the Elva is to a second arrest within the time specified in the conditional i Pardon. And further it is but re issuable to j eur pop a thare will be found a great Many 1 prisoners who have served a Large proportion i of i heir time and Long before the Spring j would be released Troia the institution by i toe expiration of their sentences. I do not see How there could be any of to the governor exercising Tho pardoning Power in these cases. Quot there May be women in the institution comm Lei for trivial offences who could be released without serious detriment to the Community into which they might return. Unnecessary activity. A during my Adinamis ration i found that too frequently some justices of the peace were perhaps Unno cd a a Sariin Active in conjunction Alta the sheriffs to committing prisoners to the House of correction. The Large fee tha to paid by the authorities in Many of the counties of the state to the sheriffs is a Templar on to encourage Arreta. With commitment to follow to the House of Correl it Hon. Rather to Bank the county jails where the fee allowed is ins emf Cunt in comp Iris in. Quot the sheriff s fees fur transportation of these prisoners from various parts of the 8tate formerly ranged and were from �15 to $i0. I recollect the passage of a Law to one of the counties limiting the tee to Sid. And prior to Tho passage of this act i was informed that in some instances the Cost of transp it Avion and delivery of toe prisoners to the institution has been us Biga As j5d and i have known instances where the sheriffs have deliver �1 to the institution within Twenty four hours As High As in Tuor fifteen prison is and Lam inclined to think they received the Large tees referred to for each individual prisoner thereby in a King the transportation of this class of prisoners it Xee Edingley expensive to the taxpayers of the counties. A stills could be remedied by the enactment of a Luw providing for a mileage fee with the actual expense account in addition. A i do not Eibink there would be much objection to the working of these prisoners on the county objection is nearly always urged to the prisoner of the in Titu ton Bern put in Competition with skilled labor. A i imagine that governor Lowndes action will be prompt and effective after the meeting of the Board which. I understand occurs in a Low a meeting on Friday. Governor Lowndes has notified the members of the Board of directly of the Mary-1 an i House of correction that a special meeting will be hold in Baltimore on Friday next and the attendance of the members is urged. At tills meeting the question of taking some Steps to relieve the crowded condition of the institution and the finding of work for the inmates will be discussed. Numerous plans have been advocated be members of the Board and from citizens in All parts of the state. Horwitz was in Baltimore.
