MOMENTS MUSICAL.
High Glass Music Furnished by
the beethoven String Quar-
tette.
Melody of Stringed Instru-
ments.

The most artistic event Of the winter
In musical circles was the concert given
by the Beethoven String quartette at
Music hall last evening. The organiza-
ton is one of which any city may be
proud and better than any other III
the city can raise the standard of taste
in matters maSical. The German is the
tOneugebende nation of the world, and
the Quartette of last evening may set
the standard in our little world.
1t is composed of Emil Straka, first
violin; GuStave Won GoetZen, second
violin; Louis Mari. viOla;. Louis Mich,
cello.
The programme was culled from the
great masters, and in variety was W. /
adapted TO display the genius ana skill
or the quartette. Without any doubt
the finest selection was death and the
Maiden"-an andante con motto from
Schubert. 1t is full of dreamy melan-
choly, Of fantastic beauty, the subdued
undercurrent of sorrow, sometimes
rising to passionate heights of anguish,
sometimes sinking to low, moaning de-
spair. The contralto mystery of the
second violin part is one of the most at
tractive beauties of this marvellous
composition. The slow choral move
ment Of the finale with its one crescendo
note. dying TO a wall, was perfectly
played, and the silence in the audience
was absolute.
An andante of Rubinstein was the
most extremely classical of the selec-
tiOns. 1t was played in an earnest manner,
with good Interpretation. The allegro
con brio from Beethoven was the
most perfectly executed. the quartette
appearing as animated by one spirit.
The number is full of grace and beauty,
with delieacy and lightsomeness we
seldom associate with the works of this
great master mind. The melody is
sparkling, and was finely played.
The closing quintette (adagio Sos
tenutO and allegro agitatO of JadaS-
sohn) introduced the piano part by
Mrs. Mich, which was well PLAYED,
fully confirming her reputation. The
selection is not an inspired one, though
the first movement shows breadth and
VigOr. The sustained and prolonged
tones were full and even. the movement
in accord.
Miss May f. Strong gave as piano
solo Tausig's arrangement OF The In
Yitation to the Dance" Miss Strong is
a finished player, the fieXibility Of her
finger movement being noticeable. The
strength of movement was sometimes
lacking, but the performance was very
creditable.
Miss Gordon sang in her. delightful
way the aria from Samson and De-
lilah, "My heart at thy sweet voice"
Her expression is particularly good in
this dramatic solo, although the key
seemed trlf1e low to display the brill
fancy of her upper notes. AS an encore
a dainty ballad was sung with much
grace and chic.

DEAFNESS AND RINGING IN
THE EARS.
Ia Four Cases Out OF Every Five
These Annoying Troubles Result

This very annoying trouble results in four
cases out of five from catarrh which has ex-
listed some time, and slowly extends from the
throat backwards and upwards along the
eustachian tubes and thence to the middle
ear.
The presence of catarrh in the little tube
leading to the ear results in closing up the
tube by reason of the swelling induced by
the disease. When the eustachian tubes are
plugged ND to any extent, deafness ensues
from inability of the air to get back of the
drum of the ear. Unless there is air behind
and in front of the drum hearing becomes
impaired. The only way to relieve these
cases of deafness is to cure the catarrh first,
drums and all other appliances are worse
than useless Remember that deafness re-
suting from catarrh rarely if ever, gets well
if left to ITSELF but almost invariably grad
ually gets worse until total loss of hearing
results.
MAxIM-If you have catarrh and are deaf
first have your catarth cured. then there will
be a chance to relieve the deafness.
One of the most annoying symptoms per-
son can be afflicted with is a constant or in
termittent ringing in the ears This dis
agreeable symptom may result from large
doses of quinine or salicgcle acid from a
but in nine cases out Of ten it results from
catarrh in the head. No one symptom so
much annoys the patient and doctor at once.
The only way to stop the noises in the head
where they result from catarrh is to cure the
catarrh and TO successfully treat catarrh re-
quires special apparatus, a skillful specialist
and patient who has moral force and pluck
enough to place himself under thorough
course of treatment.

Secretary Beck's Position.

j. II. Beck has been considering the
question of resigning his position as sec
Rotary of the chamber of commerce, and
has decided to lay the matter before
that body at It's meeting tomorrow, and
will be governed somewhat by the
wishes of the chamber of commerce.
Mr.. Beek's reason for his course is
manifold duties and overwork. He is
secretary of the jobbers' union, and
feels that he cannot do justice to both
organizations as secretary. He has the
details of the Hill celebration on his
shoulders, and, in view of the fact that
the jobbers' union want his entire time
to make their association hummer this
Columbian year. induces Mr.. Beck to
seriously consider the REIMBURSEMENT of
the duties as secretary of the chamber
of commerce.
