A Neat Arrangement.
PHILADELPHIA Record.

1t was old-fashioned housekeeper who
instructed her younger neighbor in the art
of keeping mattress bright and clean. The
rubbing against the Stats woven wire of
the springs often rusts the ticking, or at
least darkens and discolors it. To prevent
this, take a piece of strong, unblea ched
sheeting several inches larger each way than
the mattress and at each corner and I'm the
middle lengthwise, fasten a twelve-inch
piece of tape, sewing it IN the middle to
form strings six inches long. Lay this
smoothly over the springs and the mat
tresS on top. At each corner and in the mid
die Of the mattress, straps, formed OF mat
tress binding. are sewed by their corners
only. Through these straps pass the tapes
tying them in bow-knot. When you wish
to turn the mattress, remove the dust from
about the tackings with a stiff brush, unite
the tapes and turn, and the mattress will
look fresh and bright for years.

Dry Goods.

NEW YORK, Oct 1.-THE lack of con-
fidence In commercial affairs generally,
growing out of the condition of matters in
Washington and the uncertainties respect
ing possible tariff legislation, continues to
restrict business to the smallest limits
dictated by actual necessities of the mo-
ment, and buyers are contending for lower
prices, while the reduced position of stocks
leads to Indifference on the part of sellers
and in many departments of the trade
buyers and sellers are quite apart in their
views, and prices show considerable ir-
regularity. A small business in cotton
goods at about former prices is reported.
Ginghams and woven fabrics show irregu-
larity. and if anything, weakness. Prints
and printed fabrics are possibly more
active but the change is hardly noticeable
The demand for printing cloth seems to be
falling off a little, and sixty-four squares
are easily found at 27sc. For dress goods
and woolens there is a slow demand and
considerable irregularity in prices, with the
advantage to the buyer and no improve
ment to the spring trade outlook. Import
ed dry goods are selling very slowly, with
buyers making selections only with refer
ence to piecing out assortments. The job
bling trade is slack and featureless.

THE MOZART MUSICALE.
Several Artists From New York Entertain
Our Music Lovers.

The Mozart musicale last evening was
full of interest for the lovers OF music,
and the Academy was well filled by the
devotees of Wagner and Verdi. The or
chestra chairs were filled, and most of
the seats in the dress-circle were occupied.
The programme began with piano solo,
"Invitation la Deuce" by Weber-Tan-
sig, and was admirably rendered by Mr..
Jacques Friedlerger. He has an excellent
technique. although at times he inclines
TO the List school: that is. he uses the
grand effects instead of the melihuous
notes of the parrissimo.
Mr.. Albert Arveschon. the basso can
tante. sang the "Bedouin Love Song" by
Pinsuti, as his opening number, and that
artistic composition was most artistically
rendered by him. He possesses a voice
of considerable compass, and his notes
are Of that distinct class which immedi-
ately make for him favorites among
those who love the notes of the basso
The third number was by Mr.. Victor
Moyeke, OF Edinburgh. who Interpreted
I'm his own way an adagio and canozetta
selection by Goddard. Mr.. Woycke is
an artist. as far as his method Is con-
cerned, but his method is at fault. He
has a nervous, jerky way of delivering
his notes that detract considerably from
the artistic effect of his performance.
The fourth number introduced to a
Richmond audience Mrs. 1de Bond
Young. singer of considerable
reputation in Northern cities. She
sang as her first number that
difficult composition. Il VIII Extoll Thee. y
from the oratorio by Costa, and by her
excellent phrasing and splendid vocaliza-
ton she won the hearts Of all true lovers
of music.
Then followed a programme by those
participating. which proved to be pleas
ure 10 all.
There were nine numbers on the pro-
gramme, and the concert ended with
duet. II Feel Thy Angel Spirit" by Hoff-
man. Ii was beautifully and artistically
rendered by Mrs. Young and Mr.. Arves-
chOn.
AS a whole. the musicale was a splendid
one. and reflected great credit on the Mo
zart board of governors.
