officials claim that they have twelve
new engineers engaged and that to-

erhood, as an organization, is not rec"
ponsible for their action. They say
that at the request OF Tom Scott a
committee Of engineers running on his

The STRINwAY PIANo.-During tn Z
last few days there have been sold by
Messrs. Adams & Lucas, 1927 Marker
street, no less than seven CD Steinway
Pianos, which would peem to indicate
that Stenway's star still shines bright
ly among the citizens OF Wheeling, who
are just SLOW enough to be sure they
sre right, before they undertake the
purchase o. = Piano.
We are not sstonished at seeing the
Steinwsy 60 off SO rapidly, for where q
piano is so good ss to commend itfelf to
every musician OF any moment in the
country. it must have merit, and, by
the by we see it often claimed for other
and cheaper instruments that certain
composers endorse them. This is all
true. Eminent composers through i'm
portunity, friendship or gratitude often
endorse half dozen different makes OF
pianos, but when it comes to
purchasing one for their own use you
will find that nine-tentbs OF these
people fall back upon the Steinway,
for they know where they will find it.
so to say, every time, that although
other pianos may be good, and many Of
course are, the Steinwsy is always good
AS piano builders Messrs. Steinway
& Sons have a reputation equaled By nc
house in the world, and as they have
spent years of toll and millions ot
money in building that reputation, they
cannot afford to mar it by turning out
one defective instrument, for although
they might make Tor a time few hun.
dreds OF dollars, they would injure their
reputation to the extent Of hundreds oI
thousands.

SEATS FOR THE OpERA.-The sale Of
Subscription tickets to the Kellogg
Grand English Opera will commence

the same place the single night sale

two Operas to be given at the Opera
House, can only be purchased at Sheibs
Music Store and at the Opera House
on the evenings of the Operas. These
Librettos OF the Bohemian Girl and
Faust are the only authorized editions,
as rendered by the Kellogg Opera
Troupe, all others unreliable. The
Bohemian Girl and Faust are two
greatly admired Operas, crowded as it
is with superb music, and possessing
dramatic features which offer, perhaps,
finer opportunities for the display OF
histrionic genius that any other modern
work of the kind, has commanded from
the first high and abiding popularity
The old legend has been handled from
time to time by various artists in vari-
Gus ways from the time of Kit Marlowe
to the present century. 1t remained
for Goethe to build out Of it an endur-
ing monument to his genius-"a starly
pointing pyramid"-the grandest dra-
matte and philosophic poem OF the age,
which has already been recognized as
akin to the sub]imest creations OF
Shakespeare. After Goethe the theme
has been taken up by another class of
intellects, and it has been formed the
groundwork of no less than four
Operas, among which Gounod's noble
work has the acknowledged supremacy.
1t is today one Of the most popular
Operas on the etage.
