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.

Bnii.iN , Jan. 0. [ 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

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.

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.

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.
