1De Moss, soprano; Mrs. Adolf Hahn, violinist; Walter C. Ernest, tenor, and Edmund Hahn, baritone. The concert reflected much honor upon Mr. Graninger and the high standing of the Orpheus Club.
3In the reorganization of the College of Music faculty W. S. Sterling, for several years the assistant dean, was elected dean, and A. J. Gantvoort will take charge of the clerical and business affairs. Mr. Sterling's choice is a good one. He enjoys the fullest confidence of each member of the faculty, and is himself a man quick in action. Mr. Van der Stucken, the retiring dean, was elected honorary dean, and he will continue to have charge of the opera, chorus and orchestra classes. Mr. Van der Stucken is to be congratulated upon the splendid condition of the college, for which he is largely responsible and which he leaves to his successor. The high standard set at the college in all its departments is in indisputable evidence and is generally being recognized.
5On Saturday evening, the 13th inst., the Ladies' Chorus of the Auditorium School of Music challenged public attention by its initial concert. Despite the inclement weather the hall was packed, and it is obvious this organization is coming in on a full tide of public approval. The chorus is well balanced, and the freshness of the voices was specially grateful. The attack was good and the ensemble excellent. The following program, under the direction of Charles A. Graninger, was given:
7Blanche de Provence…………………………………………..Cherubini
8Wanderer's Night Song………………………………………Rubinstein
9Spinning Chorus (Flying Dutchman)………………………..Wagner
10Rest Thee On This Mossy Pillow……………………………Smart
11Cantata, The Fairies' Isle………………………………….Haynes
13This last number is a beautiful composition and tuneful. The solo parts were ably sung by Miss Bessie E. Hendry, soprano; Miss Cora M. Blomberg, mezzo soprano, and Miss Pauline Loth, contralto. The chorus appeared to special advantage in the delicacy shown in the singing of the Rubinstein number and the dash and spirit in the Spinning Chorus. The chorus was assisted by Miss Flora A. Budke, soprano; William V. Deck, tenor, and A. G. Pfannkuchen, bass, in a trio, "Stars of the Night Shine O'er Us," Campana, which was beautifully presented, and a repetition demanded. Two violin quartets, Romanza and Tarantella, by Hellmesberger, played by Adolf Borjes, William Kern, Herman Hansen and Oscar Schath, proved interesting numbers. Miss Mary Grace Allnutt, a young miss beginning her teens, played with no little finish three piano solos—"La Piccola," Leschetizky; "Melodie" and "Valse Brillante," Moszkowski—and Master Gussie Palm evinced talent and taste in his reading of Etude No. 6, Heller, and Menuet, op. 149. Godard, and won warm applause. Christian W. Dieckmann was an efficient accompanist.
15J. Stuyvesant Kinslow, baritone, will be given a testimonial concert, under the auspices of the Cincinnati Concert Company, in Sinter Hall on Wednesday evening, May 1.
17Apropos of the Dayton Music Festival, whose glories have just passed into history, it is well to mention that over 100 voices of the splendid chorus were members of the old Philharmonic Society of Dayton. It will be interesting to present in my next letter a list of the important works which were given in the history of this society. Prof. W. L. Blumenschein was director of the society for nearly quarter of a century. He laid the foundation of substantial results.

40Editors The Musical Courier:
41I BEG you will allow me to correct the statement made in a recent issue of your paper, that the sad death of Charles Humphrey, leading tenor of the Second Baptist Church, St. Louis, was due to a "foolish study of Christian Science." I know the circumstances in the unfortunate affair, and assure you that Christian Science was in no way connected with the young man's dramatic ending. It is true Mr. Humphrey was healed by Christian Science about four years ago, and took class instruction about two years later, but he was not a Christian Scientist in any sense, and soon drifted away from what slight relations he may have had with the church. Only a few days ago he called on a gentleman, a friend and Christian Scientist, to whom he admitted that he had neglected to follow up his teaching, and said he felt sorry.
42If Mr. Humphrey's mind was unbalanced, it was certainly not his study of Christian Science which induced such a mental condition, for two reasons. His application to and study of Christian Science were fitful and desultory, and for a number of months past he had not attended the Christian Science church. But above all, I know that a study of Christian Science could not result in insanity. The reverse is true. Many cases of dementia and insanity have been healed by Christian Science.
43The calm understanding of God, as man's only Life, never unsettled reason, and that is what Christian Science is. There are too many professional singers, actors and public men and women who have received mental, moral and material benefits from Christian Science to attribute such a misfortune as Mr. Humphrey's to this religion.
44Yours truly, WILLARD S. MATTOX.
45[The statement referred to appeared in this paper's regular correspondence from St. Louis and the above letter is cheerfully printed in reply.—Eds. Musical Courier.]
