5The new railroad time table which is to go into operation on October 1 will have some beneficial influence upon the next season of Berlin Philharmonic concerts. I see from the schedule that the time of departure of the North-South express, which used to leave Berlin for Leipsic at 11 p. m., has been changed to 10:15 p. m. As this is the train on which Arthur Nikisch is in the habit of returning to Leipsic after the conducting of his concerts here, the great Kapellmeister will be forced to shorten his overlong programs and bring them down to the ordinary length of from two to two and a quarter hours if he wants to catch his train.

9Among the callers at the Berlin office of THE MUSICAL COURIER during the past week was George Fergusson, the baritone, who will to-day depart for England, where he is to tour in conjunction with Melba in October, and will remain in November to fill separate engagements up to the 24th of that month, when he intends to return to Berlin.
11Mrs. Simonsohn, the mother of Miss Frieda Siemens (this is the talented young pianist's pseudonym), came to tell me that her daughter had closed a favorable engagement with Manager Ellis, and that both ladies will depart for New York with the Bremen steamer next Saturday.
13Xaver Scharwenka walked in, hale and hearty, as usual. He has not been idle this summer, but has composed a good deal of new music for the piano. His class at the Klindworth-Scharwenka Conservatory is already overcrowded, and he speaks with enthusiasm of the talent of some of his pupils, notably the New York wonder, Bessie Silberstein, whose almost equally gifted younger sister is in the very reliable hands of Mr. Mayer-Mahr.
15A very pleasant and surprising call was that of my old friend, J. D. Trenor, of New York, which amiable gentleman and refined artist I had not seen for many years.
17He was so favorably impressed with the beauties of Berlin and the agreeable ways of life in the German capital that I may hope for a repetition of the visit next summer.
19The Misses Adelina and Hortense Hibbard, of New York, who have been spending the summer in Germany studying the piano with Prof. Martin Krause, of Leipsic, came to say good-by. They leave for home to-day on the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse.
21Other callers were Dr. Ernest Irving Waldberg, from Chicago; Werner Alberti, the little tenor with the high C; Moritz Mayer-Mahr, pianist, and my colleague Otto Taubmann, of the Berlin Boersen-Courier. One of the last, but by no means least, to pay his visit at THE MUSICAL COURIER office this week was Generalmusikdirektor Willem Kes, now conductor of the Moscow Philharmonic concerts, formerly Kapellmeister at Amsterdam, where he organized and drilled one of the world's best orchestras. Kes is a superb conductor as well as a musician of the most liberal taste and eminent learning.
23Further callers were Miss Minnie Schott and Miss Isabelle Wheeler, both from Washington, D. C. The first-named young lady, formerly a pupil of Ernest Lent, intends to continue her education upon the violoncello at the Royal High School, under Professor Hausmann's guidance, and Miss Wheeler wants to become a violin pupil of Professor Moser.
25Miss Bertha and Daniel Visanski called, upon their return from their home in the United States. The young lady has lost none of her marvelous technic and other pianistic excellencies during the vacation, for she performed for me a very difficult new study of her own composition in rattlingly good style, and also her somewhat revised E flat minor barcarolle pleased me as much, if not more, than it did when I heard it for the first time last winter.

29W. H. Pomeroy is the organist at the First Presbyterian Church, Northville, Mich. Miss Ella M. Jones and Miss Switzer lead the singing.
31Mrs. L. P. Morrill's Pupils.
33HENRY TAYLOR, tenor, who has come to New York to continue vocal lessons with Mrs. Morrill, has been supplying the place of the regular tenor at the church, corner of Seventy-ninth street and the Boulevard. Mr. Taylor's voice is of fine quality, and wherever he has sung he has made a success. He will be heard in concerts and oratorios during the coming winter. Although a stranger to this city he has at once taken his place in the musical life, and a prosperous future would seem to await this rising young tenor.
35Miss Edith Cushney, of Fonda, whose vocal teacher Mrs. Morrill has been for the past few years, sang at a musicale in Gloversville, October 6. Miss Cushney made an instantaneous success at the M. T. S. A. in Albany at their annual meeting last June, where her fine method was particularly praised.
37Miss Jennie Hitchens, another of Mrs. Morrill's pupils, has just removed to Nashville, Tenn., where she has taken a studio and will establish herself as a vocal teacher. She has had great experience, having had charge of the vocal department in several fine schools, notably at Wolfville, N. S.; at the Arcadia Seminary, the St. John School of Music, of which she was the founder; Baylor University, Waco, Tex., and Lebanon College, Lebanon, Tenn. She has had great success in building voices, developing them from the beginning and training pupils for teachers. She has done pioneer work in every school in which she has taught, and has always made the vocal department a pronounced success. It is expected that she will have a large class in Nashville.
39Mrs. Morrill is now settled in her studio, 222 West Twenty-third street, New York.
41Charles L. Young received a cablegram this week stating that Mme. Emma Nevada would sail for America October 21 on the steamship St. Louis. Madame Nevada's first appearance will be at the Metropolitan Opera House November 12.
