Metropolltaa Trio CInb,
It thero Is a dearth of any sort ot muslo In
this most musloal of cities, tho lack consists In
nnabsencoofadmlrablo chamber concerts, and
In this kind of performance, which, to all
true loers of tho art Is n form xupremoly
onjoyublc, tho trio for piano, violin, and
collo comes forward ns tho most avallablo and
delightful. For thoso throo Instruments overy
composer has scored somo of his choicest
thoughts, and thore is nn Immenso collection
of works from which to select.
The trio oropor was originally called "Sonata
a trf," being. In fact, a sonata for three lntru- I
moots. Thh form of composition has been
written for a arloty of Instruments, as, for In
stance bosldcs thoso for strings, Handel's trio
for oboe, violin, and viola; Boothoven's for two
oboes and Ktigllsh horn, and such unusiml
combinations as thoso of l'.olcho, for throo
'cellos and throe horns, nnd KuhlauV
for three flutes. Tho tone of so smalt I
a number of Instruments naturally la- i
bors under the disadvantage of giving 1
out only a poor nnd Insufficient body of sound. I
and It was not until tho plnnoforto became a
component pnrtof them that trios were bcnutl-
ful. Whon this friendly orcliottrnl muitnm in
parro. the piano, with Its rich possibilities of
harmony, was at last unltod with the singing
power of the violin and tho rich plnlnthcncsiof
tbo 'cello, all othor kinds of trios woro lorcod
into tho background, nhere they hnro ever
since been, and must remain,
The ooncert given last nlgbt in Stelnway
JInll by Messrs. Itolnhold Herman, Max Bon
dlx. and Victor Herbert was an admtrnblo op
position of the ponor nnd uttrncthonogs ot
this genus of ontertnlnmciit. "a trio
evonlng." Tho club had thu asslstnnco of
Miss Krally Winnnt as t-ololst. who sang with
nolondld lorco nnd richness of olee a btrlklnc
! touutllnl aria by Halnt-SaCns. and songs by
Schubort, Laseen. and Schumnnn, In which tho
carnpst feeling displayed by tho nrtlt nnd her
nobility of tono compenbateil in grent mou-uro
for faulty and labored breathing aud fntlure to
hold her notes always in abxolute control.
Mr. Houdlx mado a very welcome addition to
tbo programme In tho Blmpo ot Beethoven's
Itomnnco In F. maior, idujlnp it with lino
broailth und purity of tono und praiseworthy
dlscrotlon in shading nnd expression, this deli
cacy and tRsto brine croally nugmentod,
if not often BURgested. by Mr. Her
man's juiIIqIous pinnolorte nccompnnlment.
Mr. Hormnn's accomplishments in this Hold
are woll known as boing romarkablo. but it Is
longslnco ho has shown thu real position ho
ran command as a solo pianist. Those who
heard tho concert last evening will not hesttato
to accord him a high rank nmong vir
tuoso players of the instrument. II i touch is
soft sympathetic and strong, nnd while he doos
not give tho improBhlon of having devoted his
entire lifo to tho mastery of piano technics,
yot thore seem to bo no affrighting difficulties
which be cannot easily grasp and ovvrenme.
The trios woro both brilliant compositions,
both long, containing four movements ench,
and excellently contrasted In style. The Mint,
Hall's In O, tho bost known off all his tour
similar works, is very melodloui and constantly
Interesting, sometimes contrapuntnllr ambi
tious, at all times well written, but by no
means to be compared in beauty to tho ono by
Oodnrd with which the concert ended. This is
like a gorgeous floworlng garden, or a ploco ot
ornate architecture, it is filled with the most
fascinating ornamentation and twlnlnu ara
besques throughout Its entire length: nnd tho
Xchrrzo. the third movement. Is n pure gom.
Oodnrd Is always dollcious in tho refinement
nnd polish of his work.
It scorns difficult to Imnclno how these trios
could havo been better rendered. Neither of
thoEO three artists have n superfluity
of sentimental feeling which could cause them
to exaggerate effectB thev are all men of In
telligence, nnd of straightforward, honest pur
pose. Their characters showed In the healthy,
iresh spirit of their renderings, and there was
n perfect sympathy and understanding observ
able in thulr rrfemble plnylnc.
Thtvnoxt concert of tbo Metropolitan Trio
Club Is to take place on Monday, Jan. 14, 18S9.
The Bublasteln CInb.
Tho first concert this Benson of the Rubin
stein Club was given last evening In Checker
ing Hall, and a very delightful concort it waa.
The eyo was made happy as woll as the ear, for
such a gorgeous stage as was to be looked
upon there has never graced the pretty hall be
fore. Not only palms and ferns, but orange
trees laden with fruit decked the boards,
and enclosed by this greenery sat
about elxty beautifully dressed women
each looking hnndsomer and more attractive
than her neighbor, their Beats forming a large
horseshoe about the stage. In front ot these,
grouped around Mr. Chapman's desk, wore
thirty musicians from the Philharmonic So
ciety, who did efficient work in Accompanying
tho orchestral effect adding greatly to the
charm of the women's voloes. The tone of this
Rubinstein Club Is of remarkable beauty It
has Improved since last winter, and In so full
and mellow as to satisfy the ear entirely. Tho
club sang the " Spinning Bong" from the Fly
ing Dutchman. Heinrioh Hofmann's"Song ot
the Norns," with solos by Miss Bissell and
Srs. Hnrtdegen. a captivating waltz song by
ax von Wlenzlerl, and Louis Moan's " Will o
tho Wisps."
Mr. Carlos Hasselbrink played Yieuxtemps's
" Ballado and Polonaise" In a dashing but un
certain and somewhat careless munner. and
Mr. Kricsson Bushnell sang songs with exqui
site tone quality to which his Intelligence as a
singer has not yet arrived at a correspondingly
high standard.
Afirasement Notes.
The New York Trio Club will give its second
afternoon ooncert on Monday next in Chioker
lng Hall.
The first of the Rosenthal piano recitals,
under Herr Rosenthal's new manager, is to be
given in Bteinway Hall thin afternoon. Master

This evening's performance of "Faust" at
the Metropolitan Opera House will bo Inter
esting. Tho scenery, unlike that shown in
earlier representations of Gounod's master
work, was painted expressly for Its production,
and shows the mediaeval German town in nil

At tho last Conference of tho Methodist
Protestant Church the Rev. O, L. Corbin was
transferred from the Main Street Church,
Faterson, to Tarrytown. At Paterson the cler- I
gym an boarded with Mrs, Hiram Gould. An-
other of Mrs. Gould's boardors was Miss Julia
Moloney, the forewoman of Georce Frost &
Son's silk mill. After Mr. Corbln's departure
Mrs. Gould discovered that Miss Moloney was
in a delicate condition. Mrs. Gould suspocted
thoclergymnn, and the girl's admissions con
firmed her belief, Sho communicated her sus
picions to the present pastor ot the Main
Street Church. Mr. Corbin was sent for. Ho
declared that another boarder, not himself,

MIsb Moloney disappeared from Paterson a
few days ago. She Is now at the house of Mrs.
G. D. Woscott, a mile from Tollman's station,
on tho Plermont branch ot tho Erie Railroad.
She says Mr, Corbin is the author of her mis
fortune. Her story is that Inst winter, while
Mr. Corbin was busy at a fair, sho and othor
boarders used his room, by his permission. It
was better than the other rooms and bad a file
in it Ono evening Mr. Corbin came homo
late while sho sat thore sewing alone. When
Mr. Corbin entered the room be locked the
door. She tried to get out. but could not. Pres
ently helot her go. After that their Intimacy
continued.
Miss Maloney says that when she told Mr.
Corbin of her troublo ho nroposod marriage,
agreeing that hn would live apart from her
afterward If she liked. The cirl. however, re
fused, becaupe she was a Catholic aud would
not marry a Protestant, whatever hanponod.
She decided to bear hor mlsfortuno alono and
to shield ber family and tbo clergyman, so sbo
went away from I'atorson. Miss Mulonoy added
that Mr. Corbin hnd loft Tarrytown on no
count of 111 health." and was now at Ptttston,
Pa. Ho sent her money regulnrly, enclosed In

Tho Hoard of Villaco Trustees of White

right of way granted is along Central ovenuo.

Tarrytown people con got it thoy must bid a
percontago ot their nnnnal receipts nt a public

It is understood that tho proposed construc
tion of the rond Is another movo in tho North
ern's fight ngainst the Now ork Central. The
plan Is to mntho eloetnc enrs In connection
with the Northern's tininsat llrnsford, nnd It
is said that through tickets to nny of the Sixth

At prosont It Is only proposed to build tho
rond to Flrosford. but it will probably bo con
tinued to Tarrytown. which Is only two miles
trom F.lmsford. In that evont, outside of the
New York travel, thero would be a good busi

through to White Plains, and when the line is
comploted to Port Chester.
Tbe time limits under which the franchise is
to be sold Is until Julv 1, 18H9.

prudence which Dlaciiaaen lllm.
Tho Society of Medical Jtirlspriulonco dls
cursed the Whitochapel murders last evening,
with the result, so far as evidenced by the talk,
of concluding thnt Jnck tho lllppor Is ot ecmhd
mind. Lawyer Austin Abbott read a pnpor
which set forth thnt thero nro barbarous in
stincts In man, prosorved with remarkable per
sistence by tho laws ot heredity, from uncivil
ized ancestry.
"Thocrlmesshow," said Mr, Abbott, "a hand
accustomed to rapid work, to oport celerity.
Now. theso qualities imply a considerable men
tal development on tho pnrtof tho murdoror,
Tho chief sourco of error In tho investigation
of lunacy Is tho tendoncy of medical oxnerts
to infer dlsoaso from tlio nature of tho crime
Itself, Tho Whltechnpel murderer has not
boen caught, and his condition cannot,
therefore, bo illngnosod. While ad
mitting tho possibility of insanity. It
Is woll to consider the infiuenco
of heredity upon mon, or tho persistenco of tho
barbarous disposition. The survival In civ
ilized lifo of snvago traits is not ontlrely out
grown. TIioeo slaughtors nro wholly within
tho linos of tho hnbltunl conduct of barbarous
ancestors, Indulged for the ploosuroblo sensa
tions of witnessing human torture. As wo
vlow tho peisistence. or survival of tho lows of
bloodshed und mutilation, tho Whltechapol
murderer may appear to be not vory lar ro
niovod trom thnt exhibition in history.
Dr. E. C. Bpitzko multiplied instances of hor
rible crimes of the Whltechapol variety, somo
of thorn committed by tho Iiomnn l.mporors,
some In tho present century. In nil ot them bo
obsorved oe olomont plainly morkod sexual
perversion. Medlcnl authority, he said, has
not boon accustomed to regard men like Jnck
tho ltlpnor insano. Ho recalled tho strnngo
Texan murdors of two years ngo, and sug
gested that tho mystorlous Tcxnn and Jack
aro ono nnd tho same.
" Ho may begin his oporotlons in somo othor
city before long." ho declared. "Tho nlno
London crimen aro certainly not his first: thoy
show too much good practice. This barbarous
olemont Is present In grentor or loss degree in
every ono of us. It is woll known that crim
inals frequently haunt tho places whoro thair
deeds are discussed : so it is entroly within tho
bounds of possibility that the Whltechapel
murderer Is now presont In this room."
Dr. Irwin, who was In London when some of
tho murders occurred, denied that ho was the
porpotiator. and further declared his belief
thnt as civilization advanced nnd men found
that simple, painless killing was nn Insufficient
punishment for murder, there would bo a re
turn to tbo old Idea of Inflicting somo moasuro
of torture.

Biai:. rBRsico's report.

Irish bare eiioas tVronav.
London, Deo. 13. Mgr. Pcrstco's report
on the Irish question is almost completed. ITo
directs attention to tho anomalous faeffthat
all the governing authorities in Ireland, from
tbe Lord Lieutenant down, ore Protestants, and
not woll disposed toward Catholics. On tho
other hand, ho says, tho agrarian struggle
engenders outrages nnd a total violation
of the moral law. The Irish people refuso ab
solutely to admit that the plan of campaign Is
criminal. They consider it a legitimate retali
ation upon tho landowners, who. tbey say, must
pay for thn misdeeds of their class in tho past
Tbe land courts sometimes succeed In quiet
ing tbo pooplo by obtaining concessions from
tho landlords, but conerolty they Inspire little
conOdonce. The Pope may still do much, pro
vided ho can convince tho Irish people that he
Is not acting In accordance with an agroomont
with the English Government
Tbe people must be mode to comprehend the
moral importnnco of their acts: thoy must bo
taught to nccubtom themselves to a separation
of political questions from moral questions.
Thoy must not serve ns the Instrument ot
these who. undor tho pretext of nation
ality, lead them to tbe commission
of nets that aro contrary to morality. Mgr.
Persico expresses the most absolute disap
proval of boycotting, no expressos the opin
lon that Irish political aspirations must be sat
isfied before peoco can bo restored.
