AND SUCCESS. IA few months ago what was
known as the old Fourth Street Club ceased
to exist, and the Association under the
above title was formed, having FOR a nucleus
some Of the original members Of the Fourth
Street Club, and its meetings were held II
the upper story of the building known as
the old Valentine residence, corner OF
Fourth and Broad streets. It's officers were
elected, constitution adopted, and 1t was
decided to have weekly Di,lsicales. for the
enjoyment and culture OF its members and
their families, or, In other words, as school
for the 4cultivatio 81 musical tafent-the
music being fu1ni nished by professional or
amateur talent, resident or transient. .>fa,1s,s
It was soon apparent that the success Of
the Mozart Association was assured: Names
for membership commenced to pour in,, and
it's officers were enabled to keep up its at
fractions by having the volunteer assistance
of first-class musical talent; and that no OBJ
stacle should be in the way Of securing the
services Of professional musicians, they were
admitted without fees. ,7s.sft9'!s'
In q short time It was found that the old
hall was too small and inconyenient to con-
tain the crowds. Of ladies and gentlemen that
focked to these charming entertainments,
and finally Association Hall was secured
coniointly with the Young Mems Christian
Association, a stage erected, and such inn
provements made as renders this one OF the
most attractive halls in the city. 1t is large
and well ventilated, and its acoustic pro-
perties all that could be desired for musical
purposes.
These musicales generally commence and
end with IN overture by the orchestra, con-
sisting Of nearly thirty musicians, with anna
teurs sprinkled among the professionals.
Then follow solos, duets, trios, or quar-
tettes-instrumental or vocal-the whole go
ing to make charming evenings entertain
ment; and we can only say to these who
have not been present at any Of these that
they have missed a style Of amusement
which, as citizens, they would feel proud to
sustain - 49, -
At the last meeting OF the Board OF Gov
ernors thirty-tWo names were added to the
membership Of the Association, including
business men and young men; and bylaw
was adopted allowing members to introduce
non-residents to the entertainments free OF
charge. IL '.rs q " ae:
The membership now is nearly two hun
dred, and its success is almost unprece-
dented. G.3 s"sr @#

MANAGEMENT OF COIL OIL
LAMps.--ln buying, always choose
a lamp with as small a bowl as
can be found. Then, III case of
accident, less of the infamable
1pid will be spilled. Lamps ought
to be made with onlyhalf the
present capacity, as 1ule.
Always FIJI the bowl of the
loosely with batting or raw
cotton before putting ip any oil,
as in case cf az occiden, by
breaking or bursting tie lamp
the oil cannot then bc scattered
all over tue room. Less space will
also be left for disruga.ed explo-
sive gas when the lamp from
c~arelesSness or accident is light
ed after being tlloyc1 to get
empty. or nearly so.
Always fill the lamps every
day, aud in the day time. Never
uader any circumstances, fill ii
lamp after dark, with ii lighted
lamp near by. Never light AN
almost empty lamp, as the empty
space Is tearly always filed with
an invisible hut Very dangerous
Intlamnahle explosive gas.
1t putting ont a lamp turn the
flame down low and wave a fan
DC"s or paper across the ton
OF the cli'pmey is nearly empty
