1MUSIC IN INDIANAPOLIS.
2INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., September 9, 1909.
3The summer terms of the different conservatories have been well attended, considering the unusual heat of the summer just passed. This month witnesses a renewal of energy in the musical institutions, with some changes made in the faculties. Metropolitan School of Music has an added number of under grade teachers, also a kindergarten department, and in the higher piano department Leon Sampaix, of Liege, Belgium, takes the place of Leo Riggs, resigned. Flora Hunter, pianist; Leslie Eugene Peck, cornetist; Edward Nell, vocalist, and Hugo McGibeny, violinist, are at the head of their respective departments. At the College of Musical Arts, Thomas Frederic Freeman enters the piano department, Christian Frederic Martens the vocal, and Ferdinand Schaeffer the violin. The Co-operative School has Jeanette Crouse at the head. The Dungan Piano School is under J. M. Dungan. The Schellschmidt Studio has Bertha Schellschmidt, violin; Pauline Schellschmidt, languages and piano; Louise Schellschmidt, harp, Adolph Schellschmidt, violin and cello, and John Geiger, voice. Edgar Cawley is at the head of the Indianapolis Conservatory of Music, with Emiliano Renaud, pianist; Johannes Miersch, violinist, and F. S. Haslanger, vocalist, in the artists' department.
5Efforts are being made to revive a symphony orchestra here under the leadership of Victor Clark, of Dresden. Whether the plans materialize remains to be seen. The idea is to give weekly programs of light music, with three or four symphony concerts during the season. Indianapolis has never supported a symphony orchestra properly, and unless there can be a guarantee against financial loss it will be a thankless effort to attempt another.
7Ellis Levy, an Indianapolis violinist, who has been studying abroad for a number of years, will sail for America September 25 to join his mother and brothers in St. Louis. Mr. Levy has studied with Sauret in Geneva and Berlin, Cesar Thomson at Brussels and Ysaye at Godinne, Belgium.
9Kenneth Rose, a graduate pupil of Hugh McGibeny, will go to Paris next month for a year with Arthur Hartmann.

74Edith Haines-Kuester to Coach Singers.
75Edith Haines-Kuester, the composer and pianist, has returned from a delightful sojourn in the Catskills. Mrs. Kuester has reopened her studio at 203 West 108th street and among the first duties of the season will be the work with her class of professional singers, who will coach with this accomplished musician. One of Mrs. Kuester's recent compositions, a song entitled "Secrets," is now in the hands of her publisher. Another song cycle recently completed by her will be sung by the leading vocalists. Mrs. Haines-Kuester is one of the few women composers whose musicianship compares with that of the best educated men in the profession.
77W. C. Carl En Route.
78William C. Carl, the distinguished organist, sailed from France for home September 11. He went to Paris after visiting the Innsbruck celebration, and gave a recital at the Petchau, Austria, Conservatory, a school chiefly devoted to the education of orchestral performers. Mr. Carl had a reception tendered to him by a number of well known musicians of Paris which took place immediately before his departure for New York.
80Evan Williams' Triumph in Seattle.
81Evan Williams, the tenor, went to Seattle to sing at a Welsh Eisteddfod, and his singing created such a furore that he was immediately re-engaged for several concerts in the Exposition course. He is to receive the highest fee of any singer heard during the Fair. Mr. Williams has received an alluring offer to sing at a leading church in the East, and it is expected that he will reach New York within the next month.
83The Musical Lawn Mower.
84(A New Jersey man has invented an attachment to a lawn mower which will produce music while the grass is being cut.—New Note.)
85Oh, give back the days of the old fashioned clatter,
86When at the first peep of the dawn,
87Your neighbor—you called him as mad as a hatter—
88Went mowing his long whiskered lawn!
89For now he's "improved it with themes operatic
90That complicate matters anew,
91And the language you hurl is both loud and emphatic
92As the tunes of the mowing reach you.
93He begins with a scene from some standby from Verdi
94Which drowns out the click of the blades,
95And he turns on a bit from old "Carmen" so sturdy,
96When he trims off the terrace's grades.
97And you toss on your bed, and you curse at Puccini,
98And you wish to see quartered and drawn
99This neighbor of yours who's so low down and mean he
100Makes music while mowing the lawn.
101—Arthur Chapman, in Denver Republican.
103The eminent German baritone, Karl Scheidemantel, has decided finally to leave the operatic stage in 1911 and retire to his native city, Weimar. He has a record of thirty-three years of constant singing and the decision is necessarily most natural.
