The musical talent and ability of Mr.. Her
bert Butler of this city, now studying in
Berlin. are receiving favorable comment of
critics. The work Of his first scholastic
year has been highly satisfactory to his
Arthur NJ. Abel, correspondent OF the New
York Musical Courier, has this to say of
him:
"Mr. Butler is a remarkable young man.
He is the best pupil of Prof. Gustav Hol-
laender Of the Stern conservatory. j heard
him play the adagio and last movement
from Spohr's ninth concerto. He has a
large, reliable technic, one of the firm, solid
technics equal to playing anything. He
plays in excellent time and has a very fine
trill. He also produces a good, pure tone.
He can draw a large tone, as observed the
next day when he played upon my violin.
His own instrument has not a very full
tone. though the quality is good. Butler
plays like an artist; he has a musical con-
ception, and is not to be mentioned with the
general run of conservatory pupils.
1T sounds improbable, but it is a fact that
he never had a lesson on his instrument till
he was 20 years old. He is now IS. His
father fiddled a little by ear, and he did the
same as a youth, but he did not begin study
before his Goth year. This $ a fact worthy
Of consideration. The number of violinists
who of late years appear in public at a ten
der age is legion. Some new prodigy turns
up every few weeks and we hear 8 and 10
y~ear-old boys playing the chaconne and the
Paganini concerto. Such feats no longer
interest me, because they have become so
common. But when a man begins to study
the violin at 20 and accomplishes what But
Ter has accomplished-this, | say, is some
thing worthy of respect and admiration"

LINENS.

You know what we are do- ing in linens. Out of linen buying time, when there's almost nothing going on in linen stores, when nobody wants any linens, when there isn't any possible chance to sell linens, we are selling more than ever we've sold in the height of linen n-buying times. There's reason for it, an economical reason, of course.
 What other reason could bring it about? Linens are cheap; but that wouldn't sell them in August. They are cheaper than cheap. They are as good as usual, and so low that nobody dreams of getting linens so again this year.
