WHAT ALL MUSIC MUST BE
According to Professor Rose
wald It is Characteristic
or Descriptive.
A TALK TO THE SOROSIS CLUB,
An Interesting Topic Listened to
With a Great Deal of
Attention.
The spacious parlors in the residence of
Mrs. William J. Younger, 1414 California
street, were crowded Monday with the
members of the Sorosis Club of San Fran
cisco and their friends, who assembled to
listen to a lecture by Professor J. H. Rose
wald on "Characteristic and Descriptive
Musky' with illustrations on various in
struments.
Among those who listened to the inter
esting and instructive lecture were Mrs.
Irving M. Scott, Mrs. William B. Carr,
Mrs. J. A. deGreayer, Mrs. F. G. Sanborn,
Mrs. George Law sfmith, Mrs. J. D. Bed
ding, Mrs. E. A. Belcher, Mrs. J. S. Belcher,
Mrs. O. Black, Mrs. W. L. Brown, Mrs. J.
(i. Bucknall, Miss C. Callahau, Mrs. J.
Chretien, Mrs. G. Earl, Mrs. J. M. Goewey,
Mrs. M. R. Higgins, Mrs. E. Llewellyn,
Mrs. J. Loosley, Mrs. J. L. Moody, Mrs. I>.
J. Murphy, Mrs. E. B. Sanborn, Airs. J. H.
Simpson, Mis. Maude A. Smith, Mrs. E. J3.
Stone, Mrs. A. H. Stone and Mrs. William
J. Younger; William Greer Harrison, Mr.
Greenbauni and Edgar S. Kelley,
The lecturer said that not more than one
out of ten who listen to music pays any at
tention to the motive of the composer.
There is as much motive, the lecturer con
tended, in a musical composition as there
is in a good novel and one that is written
for a purpose, and while readers follow the
purpose of the writer of the novel, the ma
jority of those who listen to the work of a
musical composer simply listen to the air
. and give it no further thought. Music, he
.said, is either characteristic or descriptive;
. . it nvnst be one or the other. Descriptive
music requires the air of dramatic action;
. character* music is understood only by
the cultured mind.
Music, the professor said, has three fac
tors, rhythm, timbre and key, and to illus
trate the iirst lactor he played sixteen
measures from "Faust" on the violin and
. then on the philomela, an instrument that
• belongs to the zither class. After playing
selections to illustrate the other factors,
• he then explained the various classes of
instruments that go to make up an orches
tra and declared that no two pieces have
the same timbre, but be the variation ever
so slight, the timbre makes the instrument
either agreeable or disagreeable.
Mr. A. T. Coffin sang in a most accept
able manner -'Are More Fair Than the
Spotless Lilie?," a romanza, the introduc
tion to which was an cbligato by the pro
fessor on a viola d'amour. The romanza
was on a chanoi viola. Both of these in
struments are of the long ago, and when
exhibited to the audience many craned
their necks to get a better view of them.
The vocalist was rewarded with loud ap
plause.
The lecturer then explained that par
ticular instruments are chosen to render
particular music on account of their adapt
■ ability, as for, instance, in a serenade the
instruments are the lute, the guitar or the
mandolin. He then described the effects
of music on the moods of men, such as
anger, hatred, mirth and the like. The
timbre expresses these. The timbre of the
.. bell is expressive, for the large bell cannot
give a tone of merriment, but the smaller
one can. The steam whistle of the loco
e has also its characteristic, for the
: ill sound fforn the express
ive of danger, while the
slow blast of the freight train is indicative
of the lazy movement of the train itself.
He then illustrated how the whistling
of man is characteristic, after which he
.. spoke in flowing terms of the violin,
which illustrates almost every music
sound, and played a lew bars to show how
trie Bounds of the#rirst and second violins
ran be produced on one instrument. He
also gave "Ij<?gende,'' by Weiniawski, in
illustration of the possibilities of the instru
ment ho was playing on. He also gave an
exemplification of the major and the
minor key.
■Of Franz Liszt he said: "Liszt reached
!nacle of fame by showing to the
wtfiid the possibility of his instrument,
the p;ano, in a manner hitherto unknown.
He entered the realm of characteristic
and descriptive music with all his heart
and soul, as evinced by his compositions
for the salon and the church. It needed
a Schiller to translate Shakespeare's
'Macbeth' into German, a Bayard Taylor
to render Goethe's 'Faust' into English,
but it needed a genius to understand
the spirit and sentiment of the most
beautiful legendary and mythical poem of
Heinrich Heine, the 'Lorelei.'
Miss Lillian Morey, a pupil of Mrs. Rose
<wald, who is now assistant vocal teacher
jat Mills Seminary, who has a sweet, flex
ible voice, sang "Die Lorelei," and after
ward "The Erl King," by Schubert, the
accompanist being Mrs. William J.
Younger, who acquitted herself in a very
creditable manner.
After drawing attention to the fact that
the sculptor, the painter and the architect
ran draw on nature for his materials, but
the composer mast do his work indepen
dent of nature, the professor gave an ac
count ofthe effect of music on the diseased
mind, telling how certain strains calm the
mind and others render it turbulent.
In .closing he said: "All music must be
long to one of the two classes, characteristic
or descriptive ; if not it is a combination of
sounds thrown promiscuously together
like children's blocks thrown upon one
another. Characteristic music is an ideal
ism dependent on the 6ympathy, intelli
gence and mood of the cultured listener,
while descriptive music is an open book
whose pages are written in plain language
and such unmistakable characters as to
make it intelligible, comprehensive and
acceptable to all."
BRAYED AND PLAYED.
Burros Turned Loote at the Ferry.
Tun Spoiled by a Col
lision.
Quite- a. commotion was caused on the
water front yesterday afternoon by the ar
rival of over a score of burros from San
Rafael, en route to Oakland to participate
in the May Day festival. The frisky little
animals come from Mount Tamalpais,
where for years they have been climbing
- up and down the giddy heights carrying
tourists. They came trooping off the
Tiburon ferryboat and rushed out on the
„ wharf in all directions, but behaved very
decently until they heard the clanging of
the dummy gongs and tooting of the ferry
whistles.
' Then pandemonium seemed to be let
loose.- The tribe from the mountain
brayed and kicked and jumped, and the
herders had their hands full keeping the
burros into anything like decent line.
When' the animels came to cross Market
street there was more trouble, and Sergeant
Mahoney was sent for. The officer quickly
burned to the scene of strife, and the
v leader of the burro belligerents took his
...measure as he came. The brute lowered
• his lest ear and winked the other eye. '"'
"Excuse me," said the sergeant, "I've
: ' met this gentleman before. • This is not a
. case for policemen. Try the newspaper
bdvs." ,
. Everybody who is ; at all familiar with
■ the ferry landings knows what a crowd of
newsboys can be gathered in a , few
moments. In less time than it takes to
tell it nearly eyejy buno had a boy on his
back, and a moment later it looked as if
every newsboy in town was climbing tbe
golden stairs. The air was rilled with
newsboys and newspapers. But in the
descent the boys fell as softly as the
papers from all the harm that appeared
to be done. Then one little "donk"
had to get on the track and
investigate the life-savine rollers on
the cars. A McAllister-street car was
just coming off the turn-table, and the
gripman's gong annoyed the Gaelic canary
Beyond endurance. The burro looked over
his right aural pendant, judged to a hair
the approach of the dummy, and then let
fly his hind feet. The dashboard of the
car was broken in, but, as the gripman
tersely remarked! "The car didn't do a
thing to that donkey."
The burro was rolled about ten feet
away, but he quickly scrambled to his
aggregation of feet, aiid surveyed the Mc-
Allister-street car with rueful aspect. The
collision seemed to take the fun out of the
hill tribe, and the burros suffered them
selves to be led aboard the creek boat with
out a bray.
A Mining Commission.
An answer and cross-compiaint was filed yes
terday in the case of C. L. Gorbara and J. B.
Hand against Joseph Herman, C. A. Hamilton,
Johu Rathgeb Sr., Haas Kathgeb and the Lon
don and San Francisco Bank, Limited; Henry
Snell, \V. B. Griswold, James MeMechan and W.
S. Howland as intervenors. In the complaint
Herman and Hamilton were charged with a
conspiracy to detraud the intervenors and
MeMechan out of a commission of 10 per cent
on $150,000 In the purchase of mining prop
erty. The answer denies the charges and is
supplemented by a exotm- complaint charging:
the intervenors with withdrawing $10,250 70
on May 2r>, 1888, from the London and San
Francisco Bank, where it was the property of
the plfilntiffs and held subject to the judgment
of the court.
A PLACE IN THE SALON
The Famous Art Institute
Honors the Deaf-Mute,
Seymour Redmond.
His Success Began With His Studies
In the Local School of
Design.
Seymour Redmond's painting, "A Win
ter Scene on the Seine," has been accepted
by the directors of the new salon of the
Champs de Mars, at Paris, and will be ex
hibited at the session of the salon, which
opens to-morrow.
The central figure of the picture ia an
old barge, which rises and falls lazily at
the end of huge hawsers, by which it is
moored to the quay. In the distance can
be dimly discerned through the mists of
the river the rambling structures of that
part of Paris which lies along the Seine.
A mantle of snow covers the landscape
and lends an air of enchantment to the
scene. More than 6000 pictures were pre
sented, but of this number only 500 were
accepted by the directors. Critics speak
highly of Redmond's work and predict a
brilliant future for him.
Beymour Redmond is a deaf-mute, 23
years of age, ana obtained his education at
the Berkeley Deaf and Dumb Institute.
He is the son of B. C. Redmond of Los
Angeles.
Redmond entered the San Francisco
School of Design in 1890 and continued his
art studies, as well as his regular course in
the Berkeley Institute, till December, 1893.
He then obtained the W. E. Brown gold
medal for the best general average for'the
year in the life class and shortly thereafter
went to Paris. Upon his arrival in Paris
he entered the Julian Academy and at the
end of his rirst month's study received an
"honorable mention."
From the time of his entering Julian's
Academy Redmond's advancement was
regular and rapid. His studies were not
confined to painting, but he has devoted
considerable time and close attention to
modeling. None of this work has been
thrust forward for honors, but competent
critics declare it to be of a very high order.
The trainine he received in the local
School of Design was of great help to him,
and every favorable opportunity has been
taken by his teachers in Paris* to perfect
the genius they could discern in him.
The young artist has been supported
during his course of study in the Julian
Academy by the post-graduate fund of the
Berkeley Deaf and Dumb Institute.

AMONG THE CHOSEN FEW
Miss Anna E. Klumpke's Pic
ture Adorns the Walls
of the Salon.
"A GENRE SCENE IN MELITA."
Career of a San Francisco Girl Who
Has Won Honors In the
French Capital.
Telegraphic intelligence of yesterday an
nounced that a noteworthy exhibit in the
old salon of the Champs Elysees, in Paris,
which opens to the public on May 1, was
MISS ANNA E. KLUMPKE, THE SAN FKANCISCO ARTIST, AT HER
EASEL.
[From a photograph taken in 1892.
the work of Miss Anna Elizabeth Klumpke
of this city, a.nd bore the title "A Genre
Scene in Melita."
Mehta is the classical name for the island
of Malta, and the artist who has con- j
tributed with such honor to the fame of |
Malta's simple but picturesque charms be
lones to that class of American artists con
cerning whom George William Sheldon,
the famous Paris critic, said only a few
months ago in a letter to a San Francisco I
artist friend: "The strong and special
charm of simplicity of purpose, the honesty
not warped by the supposed demands of a
public taste, "the personal and intimate
sentiment of the real and the love of per
fection in workmanship characterize their
work and have a profound and perfect
value in the ennobling influence which
their work is exercising upon our social
life."
Miss Klumpke was born in San Fran
cisco in 185G and is a daughter of John G.
Klumpke, a retired merchant residing at 1
PORTRAIT OF MY MOTHER, BY ANNA E. ELTTMPEE.
[Reproduced fro in an engraving published in a high-class magazine entitled Recent Ideals of
American Art.]
1000 Chestnut street. In 1871 she was sent
by her father to Cannstadt, near Stuttgart,
Germany, to be educated, and from there
she went to Pari.s, in 1880, and entered
Julian's Academy. There she studied
under Messieurs Tony Robert Fleury,
Bougereau and De Vuillefroy and received
a silver medal for drawing and a tirst grand
prize at the annual concours de portrait be
tween the men and women pupils. In 1885
she won an "Honorable Mention" at the
Salon and in 1889 a third-class medal at the
Universal Exposition and the Temple Gold
Medal at the Philadelphia Exposition.
Among her best portraits is that of her
mother, which was hieuly praised at the
Salon of 1889 by both French and American
artists.
Her genre picture, "Lue MerveiHeuse,"
in the time of the Directory, was exhibited
in New York City. Miss Klumpke and
Miss Elizabeth Gardner are the most suc
cessful of the American women who paint
in Paris. The "Portrait of My Mother"
has remarkable directness of vision and
other qualities of a masterly order.
Miss Klumpke's father has at his home
one of his daughter's most ambitious at
tempts, which is entitled "The Knitting
Girl," and was in the Salon of 1887. It is a
huge oil-painting, 12 by 8 feet in dimen
sions. . „,
The picture of Miss Klumpke, shown
herewitn, was taken as she worked on the
picture which now graces the exclusive
walls of the old Paris Salon.
IT WAS A MISTAKE.
No Plnkerton Detectives Asked to Help
the Local Men.
According to Captain Lees no Pinkerton
detectives have been asked to assist the
local men in connection with the murders
of Blanche Lamont and Minnie Williams.
"Detective Simmons, who has been re
ferred to," said the captain, "has been a
detective for years on the regular force at
Portland, Or. He never had any connec
tion with the Pinkertons. He was here
for a few days on his way to Los Angeles
fr for a prisoner and returned home to-day
| on receiving a dispatch that it was not
necessary for him to go there.
"He was naturally interested in the
murder cases and asked Detective Gibson
to take him to Emmanuel Church, as he
was curious to see the place where the
I murders were committed. That was all.
"We are quite competent to manage the
cases without any outside assistance."
Crushed Only by Enormous Pressure.
In a series of glass cases in the room of
the Public Buildings Commission of the
City Hall are preserved a number of speci
mens of materials used in the constrnction
of the building which have been subjected
to a pressure test by the Government ma
chine at Watertown, Mass. A sample
brick of those used in the construction of
the tower still retains its shape, although
compressed into powder by a pressure of
500,000 pounds to the square inch. Its
mate, rather dilapidated, did not succumb
| until tiOO.OOO pounds pressure was reached.
| Specimens of the white marble which
! forms the imposing exterior of the hall
j showed remarkable staying powers. One
I cube successfully resisted a pressure of
800,000 pounds, and a portion of a similar
specimen is preserved which cracked only
under the enormous pgessure of over
1,000,000 pounds. A report like a cannon
j shot was heard when it finally gave way,
i and the commissioners maintain that if a
! block of marble near the foundation of the
{ City Hall should crack the report could be
I heard in Kensington.— Philadelphia Rec
loid.
STOCKTON IS SATISFIED
The Valley Road Directors Ac
cept Its Railway Agree
ment.
GUARANTEE TO BUILD A EOAD.
They Will Make a Tour of the San
Joaquin Valley Next
Week.
A delegation from the Stockton Com
mercial Association conferred with the
board of directors of the San Francisco
and San Joaquin Valley Railway yester
day in this City in regard to the agreement
through which the railway gets $100,000
and rights of way from Stockton harbor
through that city and thence to the line of
Stanislaus County free, and the enterpris
ing people of San Joaquin's capital receive
a guarantee of a competing railroad from
San Francisco throngh Stockton to Kern
County.
The agreement was considered by the
committee and board during the afternoon.
Some changes were made to suit both
parties to the contract, arsd finally the
agreement was unanimously accepted.
All that now remains to be done with it is
to write out a document including the new
clauses and without the rejected ones, so
that a clean paper may be presented for
signatures of the directors and the Stock
ton committee.
President Claus Spreckels and Directors
Watt and Pavson, who returned from the
San Joaquin Valley to attend the meeting
yesterday, said they were very deeply im
pressed with the condition of affairs all
along the route.
In Hanford and Visalia they were taken
by surprise at the wonderful development
and the evidences of. energy, enterprise
and prosperity visible on a"ll sides. The
vicinities of Bakersfield and Fresno like
wise gave them much encouragement for
a prosperous future for the competing rail-
way.
"We found a land teeming with milk
and honey," said Director Robert Watt.
"Everywhere in the San Joaquin Valley
the land can be made to blossom and give
forth riches, and only water is needed for
the change. Water can be got toward the
east side just as well as in the west. In
fact, it is an exceedingly fine country
to the east and west, but we can
not run a railroad zigzag to tap it all.
We want to see where we will run the
line."
The other diiectors will go down the val
ley in a few days and make an inspection
of the country lying south of the Stanis
laus River, and when they return some
action will be taken on the route to Bak
ersfield.
KAISItfG THE GRADE.
Construction Work Soon to Be Resumed
on l-'ol-iom Street.
Work on the Folsorn-street electric road
has been so long delayed that rumors have
been going around to the effect that the
franchise had been or was about to be
abandoned by the Market-street Railway
Company, which suddenly withdrew its
construction force on the street some four
or five months ago without any apparent
reasou.
Secretary Willcutt was seen yesterday
relative to the rumored abandonment, and
made the following explanation:
"There has not been at any time a propo
sition to abandon the franchise. A3 a
matter of fact we are going on with the
work as rapidly as possible. A little over
four months ago we struck a heavy grade
which extends for nearly two blocks be
tween Fourth and Sixth streets. It is
necessary to raise the grade all the way
from eight inches to four and a half feet,
and of course the work was turned over to
the City. The raising of the grade has
progressed slowly since we quit work, and
at tne present rate of speed will require
about a month yet for completion. When
it is done we shall at once resume the con
struction of this road with a large force,
and push the thing on to a finish with all
possible haste.
The oldest resident of Cuyahoga County,
Ohio, is John Doane, now 97 years old. who
has lived in Euclid (to-day the village of
East Cleveland) since 1801, and he prob
ably knows more about the history of
Cleveland than any other man living. His
playmates when his father settled on the
shore of Lake Erie were little Indians,
and in those days there were only six
white men's log' cabins on the site of
Cleveland.
The starfish kills the oyster by envelop

so rid himself of it, and thus falls a prey to

Mrs- Lee Walters, 823 First Street,
Los Angeles, Tells the Public
How Much Has Been Done
for Her.
SHE BELIEVES IN THE HOME REMEDY.
A Peculiar Case of Nervous Dyspepsia, Insomnia and Impure Blood
Has Just Been Successfully cured by the Great Home Remedy,
Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla — It Has Astonished the Doctors of
Los Angeles, Many of Whom Are Now Making an Investi-
gation.
' " ' "
A TRUE AND AUTHENTIC STORY comes from the city of
**• Los Angeles which is really marvelous. It is especially in-
teresting to those suffering from dyspepsia and an impoverished
blood, for while the individual is now permanently cured many
doctors are wondering how the cure was effected, and it is given
out that the physicians ,of Los Angeles are secretly investigating
the "formulae" of what is known as
JOY'S VEGETABLE SARSAPARILLA.
Four years ago Mrs. Lee Walters was considered one of the
handsome women of Los Angeles. Up to that time she was in
perfect health. All of a sudden she developed headaches — dys-
pepsia. Her case was so painful that many of the best physi-
cians were called in, but they could only give temporary relief.
About a year ago Mrs. Lee Walters began using Joy's Vege-
table Sarsaparilla. She has completely recovered her lost health.
All the old symptoms have disappeared. She writes for the
benefit of those who may be similarly afflicted:

THE EDWIN W. JOY CO., 269 Stevenson street, San Francisco, Cal.— Gestlemew:
From a deet> sense of gratitude I am glad to be able to tell you that I am now a well
and hearty woman. All the old symptoms have disappeared. I "have no more head*
aches. They are gone. • ; ;- V
You see, my headaches were so awful, so extremely painful, I had to call in many 5
doctors, but was never relieved until I used Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla. It is such a
pleasant medicine. There is no nasty taste to it.
I can eat almost anything and digest well. I sleep every night. My stomach does
not fill up and bloat. My digestion is really perfect. ' I praise the Joy's Vegetable Sar-
saparilla, and will always recommend it. I stopped using pills as soon as I began to
take Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla. It is a splendid laxative. Hoping some person
will read this who is' looking for relief I wish you God's blessing.

Made Strong and Lustrous.
James Andrews, living on Point Lobos road,
says :
The Edwin W. Joy Co.— Gentlemen: I wish to
thank you, gentlemen, for the great good which
your Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla has done for
my weak eyes. I thought I would soon go
blind. I was actually losing my sight. My
eyes were so weak I had to stop reading day
and night. Jessie read the papers for me.
After using four bottles of Joy's Vegetable
Sarsaparilla I put away the green glasses and
can now see as well as I ever could. My blood
is in good condition. I am not weak at all.
Yes, Ido praise your Joy's Vegetable Sarsapa-
rilla. No one should take any other sarsapa-
rilla but Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla.

to get another bottle of Joy's Vegetable Sarsa-
parllla-and the clerk in the drugstore brought
me something just as good. I did not want any-
thing just as good, but I wanted Joy's Vegetable

last spring. I was suffering from nasty sick
headaches and dyspepsia; my blood was
bad. After I took the great "Home Kemedy,"
