FANNY BLOOMFIELD ZEISLER
PHAISED AS THE GREATEST LIVING PIANISTE
IN THE WORLD.
The event this season In Portland
musical circles, so far as piano playing
is concerned, 'will take place at the Mar
quam Grand Theater tomorrow night,
when Fannie BloomGeld Zelsler, the fa
mous planlste, "Mil appear in a pro
gramme of 12 numbers, in which Ave are
Chopin pieces. She is without a peer in
her chosen domain in the niano world.
and when she retires from recital work it j
will be a. difficult matter to All her place.
She has manv admirers In Portland, who
have either heard her play or have heard j
of her wonderful and world-wide suc
cess. Madame Zelsler is- pleasantly re
membered from her previous visit, and It
will be a greater artiste than ever that
returns to us.
In speaking of a recent recital given by
Madame Zelsler at New York City, the
living planlste of her sex. To begin with,
she deserves praise for Ignoring the usual
formula for making up a programme. She
did not begin with Adam, but with Schu
mannthe 'Etudes Symphonlques,' which
she played with consummate skill. Here '
the power, sensuous beauty of tone, Intel- j
lectual comprehension and emotional ex-
presslon combined in true proportions.
Her next great number was Grieg's ex
quisite Ballade, op. 24, a set of varia
tions on a plaintive Norwegian melody,
which, with Grieg's still more plaintive
harmonies, recurs again and again In a
haunting, fascinating way. The neglect
of Grieg's superb piano music by the
pianists of the day is one of the musical
mysteries of the time. Since D' Albert was
here, justice has not been done this
music; but this great woman pianist will

antelle closed the programme proper, to
which the planlste added the 'EtI King,'
a Chopin valse, and the Schubert-Tauslg
'Marche Militaire. It was a great con
cert." This Is the programme for tomorrow
night's recital: .
"Andante. F Major" Beethoven
"Etudes Symphoniqucs, Op. 13". Schumann
"Hark, Hark, the Lark!" Schubert
"The Erl King" Schubert
"Berceuse, up. 57" Chopin
"Mazurka, Op. 33, No. 2" Chopin

3LUi COMING TO FESTIVAL.
Coralllfi Meeting Will Be the Best
Ever Held In the State.
CORVALLIS, May 3. It is now certain
that the May festival of music to be held j
here May 13-15, under the auspices of j
the Willamette "Valley Choral Assocla- j
tlon, will be the most largely attended in
the history of the organization. The i
managers now fear that possibly the
seaung capacity or me siaic Agricultural
Armory may be taxed. The building or
dinarily seats 1500 people. The largo
stage for the accommodation of the or
chestra and singers, comprising nearly
300 people, reduces the floor space to a
maximum of perhaps 1200. With assur
ances of large delegations from Salem.
Albany, Eugene, Independence and other !
"Valley towns. It is now -believed that the
seating capacity of the Armor will be
fully taxed to accommodate the public.
WaWIs Nash, president of the Willam
ette1 Valley Choral Union, Is very enthu
siastic over the prospects, and said yes- ,
terday that the coming concerts would, I
from a musical standpoint, surpass any- ,
thing eve heard in Oregon. Many Cor- ,
vallls homes are being thrown open for '
the accommodation of guests and friends !
during the festival, and It is expected
that there will be ample accommodations
for all who come.

New York Evening Post says: "After the
11 numbers on the programme had been
played and three of them Imperatively re
demanded, a large part of the audience
rushed up to the stage and compelled the
planlste to add three other numbers. One
wag reminded of a Paderewskl recital; nor
was that all. It is not too much to say
that Fannie Bloomfield Zelsler's concert
was the most enjoyable piano recital
that has been given here since the great
Pole left us, and that she is the first
help to bring it to honor. She knows how
to reveal the tenderness of Its feminine
melodies, as well as the virility of its bold
harmonies. Two Mendelssohn ''Songs
"Without "Words" were well played, and
one had to be repeated. Then came Chopin
the prince of piano composers, with the
Impromptu, op. 26; two Etudes, op. 10,
Nos. 4 and 7, and the Posthumous Valse,
op. 70, which Is marked No. 4 In the
Breltkopf & Hartel edition. Liszt's beau
tiful 'Llebcstraum Nocturne and his Tar-

and director, "W. A. Montgomery; organ
ist, R. "W. Hoyt. These singers retired
for a season last January until other
musical arrangements were made with
them.
HARPER'S ENCYCLOPEDIA OF UNITED
STATES HISTORY r VOL. I, A AND B
In a brief general notice of Harper's
New History of the United States In The f
Sunday Oregonlan of March 9, we gave a
general description of the extent, com
pleteness and authorltatlveness of the
work. The standard histories of the
United States are: George Bancroft's,
beginning with 1492 and ending at 17S9;
Hlldreth's, commencing with Columbus
and stopping at 1821; "WInsor's, from 14D2
to 1861.
Many people think that a good encyclo
pedia ought to give all the Information a
family needs; and yet the facts are that
"Brltannlca," in her 25 massive volumes,
only devotes 62 pages to the United States;
Johnson gets through the subject in 14
pages; the International expands to 55;
and Larnard's "History for Ready Refer
ence" fills 423 pages, while Harper's new
History contains upwards of 4000 pages.
Volume 1, embracing subjects under "A"
and "B," gives a two-page map, showing
"Acquisition of Territory," and a fine two
page map of Alaska; also nine full-page
engravings, and nearly 600 pages of text.
The Abbott and Adams families take .front
seats by virtue of their names. Six
pages are devoted to the "Agreement of
the People," drawn up by the English
people October, 1647, upon which in con
nection "with "Magna Charta" and the
"Bill of Rights," our own Declaration of
Independence is based. Over 3 pages are
given to Aguinaldo, his quasi government,
nls capture and his address of submission.
The discoverers of America occupy 10
pages, and 14 pages arc devoted to Atner
icus Vespucius, his travels and discover
ies; and ( pages tell us of the adventures
and trials of Philip Arnldas. The sur
render of General Lee's Army at Appo
xnatox Is Illustrated by a full-page spirited
engraving. "Annexed Territories," by ex
Presldent Harrison, occupies 12 pages; the
article Is not a legal argument for or
against acquisition of the Spanish Islands,
but a popular consideration of the many
questions that have come up In connection
with their transfer to the United States.
Brief but comprehensive sketches of Ala
bama, Arkansas, Alaska and Arizona are
given. To the Army of the United States
12 pages are devoted, describing Its origin,
growth and equipment; the number of
men In the field under the different calls
of President Lincoln during the Civil War,
and the number mustered out at its close!
A double-page map and 10 pages of text
are given to Alaska and the Canadian
boundary question. Arbitration (Interna
tional) is fully explained and the official
roster of the court given; the 15 principal
nations of the earth were parties to the
treaty. '
The letter B marshals a greater num
ber of distinguished persons undert its
banner than any other letter among
them Henry "Ward Beecher, the elo
quent pulpit orator and reformer: Har
Tlet Beecher (Stowe). Isaac Babbitt, the
inventor; Alex D. Bache. the scientist;
Commanders Balnbrldge and Barry, two
of the most gallant officers In the early
days of the Navy; George Bancroft, the
historian; Joel Barlow, the poet; Pro
fessor Barnard, of Columbia College, who
gave the woman's annex to that institu
tion; the French sculptor, Bartholdl, who
gave the Statue of Liberty In New York
Harbor; Clara Barton, the Red Cross
evangel; Thomas H. Benton, the early
friend of Oregcn, familiarly lenown as
01d Bullion," because of his Constant
advocacy of a -specie currency; Nathaniel
Bacon, a Vlrginli patriot, born in 1642;
Colonel E. D. Baker, killed at Ball's
Bluff, whose memory will ever be cher
ished by the people of Oregon; and hun
dreds of others distinguished in their
Oay and generation.

Stats, National banks, state barfks,
