SECOND CONCERT IN STORE
M. Charles courboin PIeases With
Bach and Other Numbers


Another large audience attended the
second of the Thursday evening organ
recitals by Charles NJ Courboin at the
Nanamaker store last evening. The
program given was somewhat lighter
In character than that of the previous
evening and was apparently enjoyed,
NJ. Courboin displayed the vast re-,
sources of the great organ both in
volume and variety of registration to
better advantage than on the opening
evening. His technique is amazing es
pecially in his pedal work while the
instrument in the hands of such an
artist is capable of producing tones in
any color and in any volume from a
tiny thread of sound that can scarcely
be heard. to a mass of tone that fairly
shakes the huge building.
Strictly speaking, the program was
not made up of numbers especially
adapted to show off either the player
or the instrument itself. II had cvi-
IDENTIFY been chosen with a view to
pleasing mixed audience. for there
were comparatively few real organ
numbers on it.
The most popular selections were the
we'll known Aria on the G String of
Sebastian Bach. solo for the first
violins in the Suite for Stringcd Or
chestra. and the "Musica Snuff BOX
Of Liadow. originally composed for the
piano.
1T cannot be denied. however, that

DEMANDS FOR CANAL
RENEWED BY CHAMBER
Commerce Body's Directors Also
Ask Railroads to Build EIeya-
tors Like Baltimore's

Calling upon Congress for immediate
appropriations for construction of the
canal connecting the Delaware river
with Raritan bay, the board of direc
tors of the Philadelphia Chamber of
Commerce has unanimously indorsed n
recommendation of the harbor and
navigation committee of the chamber
that this link in the chain of Atlantic
deeper waterways be completed as soon
as possible.
Aroused by the information that one
iIrcproof grain elevator with capacity
Of 4.I0O.OOO bushels had been com
pIctcd in Baltimore and that plans for
another one with 1000 900 bushels
capacity had been prepared. the board
also went on record as requesting the
Philadelphia and Reading Railway
Company TO build frcproof grain
elevator at Port Richmond of not less
than 1000, 900 bushels capacity and as
urging the Pennsylvania Railroad to
increase its grain elevator capacity.
Eighty seven new members were
elected to the chamber by the board.

GGD LESSED be he that invented
Il sleep" said Don Quixote,
and every one who has had
the good fortune to sleep on one of
the curled hair mattresses made by
H. D. Dougherty & Co., 1852 Chest
nut street, will certainly echo the
sentiments of Cervantes's hero. Just
to sink into the soft, comfortable
mattress gives a sense of rest that is
the beginning of a night of un-
troubled slumber. One of Dough-
erty's luxurious box springs is, of
course, the fitting complement to the
mattress, and, like the mattress and
pillows, well deserves to be 'charac-
terized as "faultless." Regarding
the pillows, too many good words
cannot be said, but no matter what
your preference in this line may be,
you will be sure to find at Dough-
erty's pillow to satisfy it.
