Upon llicso Jlcuros in iho diU'oront departments of Btato will legislative action now bo cen tered. The auditor , in transmitting his report , discusses the present manner of taxation and advocates the amendment of tlio law so that the oiiuali/.alion of state taxes can bo mude on tlio valuation and not on the rate of tax , as it now is. The assessment of Pullman curs In the slate Is culled at tention to , as In the auditor's words , "not to bo overlooked. " The auditor esti mates that fifteen or twenty Pullman oars are In use in the state eseuphig tax ation. This estimate , however , Is lee low by two-thirds. In tlio matter of the insane hospital fund that has been declared by the supreme - promo court legal , the auditor recom mends that so boon as it Is collected it bo transferred to the general tund to reim burse that fund which has been hereto fore drawn upon to meet Iho hospital ex- iionso. The transfer of other minor iniuls is also advocated ami the consolida tion of the Saline fund and Saline laud fund. The closing recommendation is in regard to the laws governing life insur ance companies ; it is claimed by the aud itor that the present law is not adapted to modern times and that "will cut" com panies do business in some instances in spite of law. The auditoi asks lor more rigid laws in the matter. hTATK LOIS IN LINCOLN' .

[ Correspondence of the Hr.n.J It is not generally known in America that Derlin now ranks first among the cities of Geimany anil Austria as a musical center. A good proof of the truth of this assertion is foirid in the fact that Gorman artists souk recognition in Derlin before "oomin < ; out. " elsewhere. Tlio Lolpsic and Stuttgart conservatories have become so well advertised in thu United States that American students continuo to Hook to them through the more force of habit. JUit liorlln possesses so many musical advantages that on ar riving hero you are fairly dazed. You don't know which of the several line con servatories is bust to enter. Knell has ardent partisans , The tfochschule , Kullak's , Sclmrwonka's , Klintworth's and Slum's conservatories form a con stellation , as it were , each shining with a different light. Thu Hochschulo is at tractive to many bucauso it is under state control. Would-bo pupils must bo over sixteen years of ago , and must pass an entrance examination. The best known inomoors of its corps of professors are Joachim for the violin , and Schultz for thu volco , Tlir. KIJLI.AK rOKSKUVATOKV is a magnificent building in the center of the city , and has more than a thousand pupils and a hundred teachers , It was founded thirtv-oiio years ago by the great master , Theodore KullaK , the com poser and pianist to the king of Prussia , and whuniho died in 1882 ho lull It a legacy of wealth and honor. His sou llcrr FranKullak , the present director , was a prodigy at the piano inhisyouth , and the pupils in hi.s classes would bu willing to take up arms to sustain thnir opinion that ho is tao best instructor In all Berlin , This conservatory has an orchestral class and an orchestral recitation is given every Sunday in one of its largo inusiu- rooms , which is of special advantage to violin pupils. Pianists who are invited to nl.iy their couertos with tlio orchestra , feel par'.teiilarly honored. All the btu- dunts at this conservatorv are very eager to bo in the director's classes , but very few of the entering students are millief- ontly advanced to enjoy this privilege. 1 notice that some of the American toaeheib find it to their advantage to ad vertise that they adopt the "Kullak method of tingoriii } ' . " This method re quires ilio knuckle of the third linger to bo hold up so high that thu while caiti- lego isfhown. In Kullak'sownlunguajio , "it must be the Mont Diane among tlio knuckles , " The accomplishment of this is required of every pianist who enlcre this school , no matter what his or her advancement may bo. Unless thn lingers are verlloxiblo , sis months are required to bring this about. Brilliant performers fuel chagrined sometimes wlMii compelled to prauiiou slow live- linger exercises evei y u.iy for long weeks. Professor Kullak , I may add before leav ing this imperfect account of his ad mirable School , devotes all his time to his classon , never neglects his pupils foi concerts , as Js so often the case with m < m of his talent. THE sutAinvnyKA coNSF.nvTonr. ii a kind of oftshoot from Knllnk'a , for Hcrr Xavcr Scharwcnka was formerly ti professor in the latter's conservatory. Ho H a remarkable composer and pianist , and , such is his reputation , that.althotigh his school has been established but a few ycarp , it has now some three or four hundred pupil * . Herr Scharwenka , by the way , has been delighting us with : i series of brilliant concerts this season. His method of Instruction differs from that of Kullak. who sits at the side of his pupil , giving the most minute direction about expression and lingering con stantly changing tholattnr. Selnrwcuka , on the contrary , leaves his pupil alone atone ono piano , \\hfio ho himself sits at an other , and both play at the same time. In this way , pupils do their utmost to know their lesson perfectly in order to bo worthy of pin vine with such a celebrated performer. There Is much rivalry be tween those two schools. When Schar- wcnka'a conservatory is recommended , you are generally informed that the director is "very handsome. " Ho has indeed a fine oval face , black eyes and moustache , and looks well on the stage , where his Polish features appear to ad vantage. Hy no means the least celebrated of the Merlin masters of piano , is Kliutworth. Hois unquestionably onn of the finest orchestral conductors In the German capital. Ho coutiols his orchestra as if It were but ouo Instrument. His long , full while beard and commanding pres ence give him thn nppearance of tlio ideal putt larch. An important conserva tory is rapidly growing up under his di- icetion. Till : STUKN COSSf.UVATORY has also special merits , popular teachers and two or three hundred pupils. De- sides this and the other schools already mentioned , Merlin is not laekiirg in pri vate tonehery. Think of all these musi cal students brought together into one city and sitting at their piano from live to seven hours every day. No wonder that the average inhabitant of Derlin has a perfect horror of piano-practicing and looks upon it much as the Londoner docs on organ grinding. Hoarding house keepers are armed against these indefatigable tigablo musieiMii. iToforc the girl with a piano is taken into a llat , the occupants below , above and on all sides must bo consulted. As a result , there has spuing up an Institution that is quite peculiar to Derlin. 1 refer to the musical boarding- house. now Tiinoim.M i'uCTIPE. . I am acquainted with one of those refugees of this Ill-used class. It was founded simultaneously with the Kullak conservatory , that i , tbirtv years ago. The way to it is "up a winning stair , " to the very top of the buil'diug , and when you reach thu fointh flooryou find fifteen rooms and fifteen pianos. There are al ways two girls in each room , and they "share" the piano , which doubles the usu of the instrument but divides the eos-t. Practice hours ate from 8 a. m. to 2 p. in , and again from ! ! : iO p m. to 8 p. m. The linging of a bell is the signal for the up roar to begin , and llien banj. ; ' whang ! go the lifteun pianos as if run by steam. The girls are earnest students , and must use the instrument every instant in order lo accomplish thu required amount of prac tice , so there is no brealc in the noisu between the limits just mentioned. But if any one begins too soon or continues too long , woo unto her. She will not only encounter the reprimand of the boardinghouse - house keeper , but the occupants of the the other lloors will complain iiutanter and most energetically The closed windows dews and doors shut in .nmo of the hub bub ; hut standing in the entrance hall , you c in hoar chords and scales in all keys tearing through each other like mad , and outlines above it all n.sesthiMoiee of some singer. And j'ut each student is so absorbed in her own piece that she is not disturbed by the others. A girl in one of those boarding houses never invites an other to play for entertainment ; shu knows by beai t every note of the reper tory of "her fellow students , liven thu tenants become familiar with classics I mii'W , and associate ditleront pieces with the students. Tliii" ono boarder is known as "the joung lady who played that piece la.st winter , " and another as "the > oung lady who practiced that onu so long. " Isow and then some onu , who is not a musician , tempted by tlio low price of board , takes a room in ono of these flats , and struggles bravely to risu above thu noise , but the fifteen pianos eventually prove to bo the stionger party , and the unmusical intruder leaves with shattered nervefj and milled tmnner. The rats in the garret alonu probably .enjoy this sort of thing , while the families below runt their llat with full knowledge ol what hangs over them. rial r.iorTrmox The price ol tuition is so low in these Derlin conservatories as to seem alino = t incredible to Americans. In the Kullak conservatory pupils in the higher classes uio charged $13.50 u trimester , in the middlu classes $1150 , and the elemen tary classes ? 'J. ' For tliis sum are given two piano lessons eaeh week , besides lessons in harmony , thu history of music , and sight-reading. This makes about r > 7 cents a lesson Ironi such a master as FranKullak ! In the other conserva tories , tuition is sometimes a little higher and sometimes a little lower than in tlio Kullak conseivatory. Nor Is thin cheap ness the rule only in the matter of lessons. If students would attend orchestral con certs in the city , they pay but half price for tickets that are not dear oven at their full price. And as they have to do a great deal of sight-reading , the dealers rent them music , so that for about $5 a year they can take home u certain number of pieces and change them every day if they chooso. A musician must be able to road anything at sight , and this skill cannot bo acquired by read ing only the music that conies to nun in the regular order of instruction. Hence it is that the Gorman students go over carefully every week many pages of music that lie qulto outside of their lesv sons. Americans who como hero for in struction fall far below the standard in bight-reading , which is the fault of their teachers , who do not demand of them tins very important acquisition. WIIKN nir. SKASON HKUINS. The Merlin music season begins in September and ends in June. Thu num ber ot concerts and opuras giyon in that time is almost Innuinorablu. I have counted in a small musical journal no tices of forty-six concerts that have been or are to bo given between November 18 and January HI , Dusulus this , there are the grand operas at the Hoyal opera house , and thu regular concerts of thn Philhar monic concert house and other similar place * . At the former , those concerts are given every week , and at the latter , there is one every night. Tl > Philharmonic is a beautiful hall , with eomfoi table seats that will accommodate two thousand per sons , and it Is always full. Maiistied , who had led thu orchestra of thu Philhar monic lor the past two yeais , is a very popular pianist and conductor. He draws up most artistic programs , and en gages talented soloists for the regular nights. On "symphony nights" Tuns- days and Wednesday * no binoklng is allowed in the hall , and more Indies are seen there. The children of Marion Flake , the va riety actress , have been sent to a house of Industry near Now York , she being des titute and sick and bur husband having neglected her.
