MOZART AT THE OPERA.

rectIOn Of an Error.


Mozart, being once on n visit at Mar.
%seilles. went TO the opera incognito to
hear the performance Of his "Nillanella
Rapita." He had reason to be to-
crably well satisfied till, in the midst
OF the principal arias, the orchestra,
through some error in the copying OF
the score. sounded n d natural where
the composer had written d sharp.
This substitution did not iDjure the
harmony. but gave n commonplace
character TO the phrase and obscured
the sentiment of the composer. Mozart
ITO sooner heard it than he started up

RICHMOND PRINTERS WIN A
POINT.

In the strike Of the Richmond jon
printers an important point has been
gained by the strikers. Some time aga
the master printers in their efforts
TO defeat the movement In behalf OF
the eigllt-hour day, secured Il blanket
injunction restraining the men on
strike from doing certain things ser
forth with great particularly in the
application for the restraining order.
Judge Grinnan on Monday dissolved
the temporary injunction. III comment
ing upon the subject the esteemed
Richmond Times Dispatch, which is in
position TO speak in an authoritative
manner in regard to the matter, has
this to say: we have no disposition
TO criticisc or review the courts de-
cision. especially IS an appeal may
be taken, but the Times-Dispatch is
sratificd that in the opinion of Judge
Grinnan the striking printers have not
resorted to force, intimidation or any
illegal method in conducting their
fight. The strikers are citizens OF
Richmond, and most of them have re.
sided here all their days. They have
as a body uniformly conducted them
selves as good and honorable citizens,
II We are pleased to know that Judge
Grinnan has been unable to discover
III their conduct during the strike n
departure from that course. 1t is a
tribute to the conservatism and good
order Of Richmond and shows in what

PRESIDENTS HELP PROMISED.
Saws He Will Assist in Securing Other
Markets for Cotton Products.

Saws He " i'll ASSIST IN securing OIhCl
Markets for Cotton Products.
The commission appointed by the
cotton convention that met recently IN
New Orleans to see what could be
done to enlarge the market for cotton
products had very pleasant and, in
all respects, satisfactory interview
with the president recently. They
asked him to appoint commission 10
take up the matter at once, and he
agreed to do so. He realized the i'm
portance of the cotton crop not only
to the south, but to the whole country.
He understands that cotton brings
more actual cash into the country
than any other product of American
industry, and he is ready to do any
thing it is possible for him to do to
widen the markets for cotton products
and thus keep the price where 1t will
WELD to the cotton growers a fair
profit for their labor and investments.
AS a matter of fact, the government
has always been on the alert to ad-
vance the interests of the cotton
grower and cotton manufacturer.
Tbrouohout all of the troubles in the
far east it has insisted upon the open
door policy, because by means OF 1t
the chances for greater market for
American products, especially cotton,
ORC greatly increased.
