THE EUREKA ORCHESTRAL ORGANS, a
new kind oil instruments just received
at Sheib's music store, 18th street, are
most wonderful. They are in rich black
walnut cases, rich carvings and finish ;
their tone excels in fulknesS, purity and
power, all other now manufactured, and
by the peculiar combination the finest
orchestral effects can be produced on
them. They have five octaves, ten
stops, three sets of reeds and one Or
chestral set, Sub bass and Octave Coup.
Ter. Their price is within the reach OF
all, being only 1925 on the Payment
Plan and are decidedly the best and
cheapest Organs ever offered to the
public. Every Organ warranted six
years. Go 10 Sheib's and see them.

Ny DEAR Mr.. WFBER:-Msny thanks
in which my wife joins, for the beautl-
full piano you were kind enough to send
me to my room during my stay in your
city. Ii has astonished me beyond
measure. The fulluess of its tone, its
thorough musical quality, so even
throughout, and the easiness and COM
pactness OF it's touch, l have never be.
fore met. How 80 small an instrument
can contain a perfect orchestra sur
prises me. The grand piano used at the
Academy Of Music at my concerts only
hightens my opinion OF your work. l
assure you / have never yet seen any
pianos which equal yours. My hearth
est wish for vour success and health.

One after another of the world ia
nous artists offer unsolicited letters
praising the great Weber Piano. Not
by bribery, or purchase, or influence,
are these spontaneous tributes secured,
but simply because they come from
conscientious artists Who knot0 the Weber
Pianos are the most excellent in the
world, and knowing so, frankly speak
out aud say so. The great public is
also rapidly learning the fact that the
Weber Piano is the piano of the age, as
the internal revenue returns OF sales
abundantly prove. Their sale has in
creased in the last four years 36S per
