Great Musical Organization Coming to Charlotte Next Week. CREATED BIG STIR IN NEW YORK CITY - Great Orchestra from Dresden. Will Make Tour of the South Stopping in Only the Principal Cities Will . be In Charlotte, Wednesday, the 21st, for Two Performances i What the New York Papers Say. The New York Herald of Sunday 'Ctfves up the, front page of one of its 'sections to the arrival in the new world metropolis of the famous Dres den Orchestra, which is to visit Char lotte next Wednesday matinee and night. This great musical organization comes to America on its first tour. It sisal morning, for mosi of it' happen ed after midnight. . Everybody was. somebody, and somebodies were everywhere you look ed. - Music folk of New York and in New York had donned their best clothes and hied themselves to Martin's at Manager E. R. Johnston's invitation to welcome to America the old Drcs den Philharmonic Orchestra, founded in 1830. and widely celebrated In Eu rope, but just arrived to make its first tour of America. . It was a notable assemblage gath ered in the large dining room last Thursday, when Willy Olsen, slender, pale, ascetic in strange contrast to the surrounding musical embonpoint cut the air with sweeping strokes of his baton and the 65 pieces of the or chestra sounded softly the first notes of Lassen's "Fest Overture." Nordica handsome as ever was there. Yes, ladies, the diamonds that glittered in-her tiara with the . magni ficent emerald pandantwere real. She might have been persuaded to sing and Ethel Newcomb might have been persuaded to play if it hadn't been so dreadfully earl v In the morning. Mme. Jomelli, beautiful in appearance and Master Read as Buster Brown has the distinction of having. had for its directors in the past such masters a Schumann and Wagner, men of ge nius, i - - The World .has a half page cartoon showing Victor Ila Clark conducting (the orchestra and in the foreground is a group of celebrities, engage-1 irt social pleasures, the aftermath of the Introductory concert. The heading of the article is: "Snapping Their Fih- jgers at Beauty Sleep, Nordica, Bisp 'tham, Jomelli, Langendorff, Spalding and 100 Others Sang, Played, Ate, Drank and Were Merry Till It's a Shame to Say When. ... Historic Or chestra Got Their First Taste of Broadway on Thursday Night." Following is the article in The World: ft was a great musical night, oiyi perhaps it should be said a great ma- voice, was there too. With young Al bert Spalding, the violinist, - accom panying her, she sang Gounod's "Ave Maria." Everywhere you looked one was ce lebrities, two celebrities, three celebri ties! That handsome man in the centre of the handshaking bunch was David Bispham, just home- from a successful tour of the West. That stately old chap who seemed alwaj's surrounded by beautiful women, was Victor Fletcher violin maker. . But they were not all musical celebrities. That keen-eyed little chap that sat beside William Grossman, the lawyer that was Wolfsohn. The Wall Street world knows him even better than the mu sic world. Every morning before breakfast he fixes the selling price of copper for the day. TJhat beautiful brunette right behind "Which one? They're all pretty" -Mrs. Morry Kraus she's Kathryn Osterman's sister, you know,".",And the next one?" "Oh,. that la. Miss Courtenay. She sings." "And that beautiful girl with the raven hair , apd the spangled - gown?" VThat's Miss " , - . That was the sort , of - conversation you heard all around you between the programme and" - a -wonderful-, pro gramme' it was, too. First, there was the orchestra itself. You only needed to look -at its faces to know It could play, and magnificently it played, too, under Wiley Olsen, but dearer still Jo the American heart was its perform ance as the evening w.ore on when Vicr tor L Clark, -the associate conductor, took the baton. , It was an awe-inspiring thing to see and hear a. thousand years' heritage nf mnfl "knnw how" reverently fol lowing' the baton of?an Indiana strip ling, end the salvos and applause that greeted him were only exceeded when the orchestra played the "Blue Dan ube" played it as it has never been played in New York since Strauss was here. . And this young American, Clark, who at the ,age of 26 has placed him self next to the leadership of this-revered orchestra of old Europe, is some thins: of a wonder when, for example, you come to remember that "Ola" ssei dj, the first violin, is 75 years old, knows the literature of music back ward and holds seven military decora tions from theGerman Emperor besides. Clark looks younger even than 26, but he has a jaw aAd a click of the teeth that tells, the slfory of little wor ry about "moods" or the "artistic temperament," but qf a sort of "get there" mastery of music and no non sense mixed in. Clark's rich uncle wanted to mane a bank clerk of him, and he is so cross with him yet because the boy went in to music that he Insists on calling him Mr." and is likely to cut him out of his will. . !. There was music, more music and then music. Mme. Langendorff sang an sane a rain Ba tch. Beethoven land Bohm her rich full voice filling the huge room with melody. Miss Schnitzer played, Mr. Lawson sang; Mr. Hastings sang. . And between whiles there was food and drink. A long table of. Easter delicacies lined on one side of the room a table decorated with wonder ful peach-basket hats in sugar, around which the women crowded as at a mil linery display. , v , . As the evening became more ana more the morning of the next day the celebrities gathered in ever-changing groups around little tables and toasted each other. Those who were disappointed at not hearing NOrdica sing had the oppor tunity of watching her eat salad. They say Wassily Safonoffs nimble fingers "busy with Monsier Martin's delicious eggs. And when the opera was over there came more and still more celeb rities: .And Willy Olsen had to play again and shake hands again. , . From some mysterious corner came four strange whiskered masks. Grin ning faces jeered over your shoulder. The revelry went on. Suddenly the mighty voice of the orchestra-burst forth with the glorious strains of -the nation's anthem. Uhder its spell the hushed audiense rose to its feet, and as the; last strains died away far into Good Friday morning it was then round . after round of hearty American applause concluded the first welcome of Dresden's great Philharmonic Orchestra.

To-morrow afternoon and ilght, the management of the Academy of Music has secured as its attraction "Buster Brown," the master success of the year in the. somewhat overcrowd ed field of musical comedy. Buster Brown needs no introducing encomi ums, we all know his face all the children have worn, clothes fashioned after his. It needs only be said, there fore, that this is a sixth and all new edition of the musical cone.dy In every feature. The scenery, costumes, mu sic and songs are spic ana span with newness, while the cast is headed by Master Reed. This little chap who fairly exudes mirth, is away and ahead of any yet seen we are promised. Bus ter should be largely welcomed. "I'd .Rather Die, Doctor, than have my feet cut off," said M. L. Bingham, of Princeville, III. "but you'll die from gangrene (which had eaten away eeight toes) if you don't," said all doctors. Instead he used Bucklen's Arnica Salve till wholly cured. Its cures of t Eczema, Fever Sores, Boils, Burns and Piles astound the world. 25c.at W.LJHand & Co. " Plea For Salaried Man. Washington Post. The manufacturers and-great .busi ness interests of the country that are in any way dependent on the tariff have been generously taken care of by the protective system, and' the organized wage-earners have Justly participated in the- prosperity by " a I greatly increased, wage. But where are the salaried men, small mer chants, clerks and employes of na tional, State and municipal govern ment in this protection feast? They are getting less to eat, less to wear and less in comfort for their labors than ever before. The salaried, peo ple of Washington, for example many thousands of them are work ing for pay predicated on the cost of living a quarter of a century ago, and paying thrice those rates for the things they have to buy to-day. It is time to heed the call of the consumer. There are schedules, like sugar, that can be cut . to cheapen things that are necessary to the everyday man, and" yet he profitable to the manufacturer and producer of thm. And there are other schedules, like diamonds and silks, that Can and should be raised.
