The Opinion Of Professor Of Music After In
specting the Section Of the Exposition De-
voted to Pianos

Extract from Philadelphia letter.
In the piano-forte department our admira-
tion and wonder touched the fever-heat of ex-
citement over the exhibit of upright pianos
made by Hallet, Davis & Co., of Boston. These
pianos were not made expressly for the Exhi-
bition, but taken from their stock in their
warerooms. Their upright pianos have a me-
chanical construction so perfect in detail, so
solid in degree, that time, use and climatic
changes seem unable to disturb their serenely
pure tune and tone; and they combine with an
the performer a magnificent and mellow round
ness of tone, perfect equality in the scale,
and clearness, sweetness and power beyond
all other pianos on exhibition. The foreign
piaro-makers here assembled regard this new
patent with admiration, not entirely free from
envy, for the tables are turned, and foreigners
now are sent TO America to learn from Ameri-
can mechanics the art of scientific piano. forte
building. The late attempt of reliable manu-
facturers to put down the making and selling
of LOCUS planes proved entirely unsuccessful.
The freedom to swindle the public belongs to
the declaration Of the rights of an independent
people. However, the Worlds Fair will do
much TO educate the people up to the feeling
that 1t is safe to buy only pianos of established
reputation. Hallet, Davis & Co. have been
before the American people for moro than
thirty years, and their square, grand, and now
their splendid upright pianos attest their
worth. This firm is now the most popular and
successful of American piano-forte builders,
not excepting the Steinway firm, who yet hold
their own fairly in popular favor.

Last night meeting of the Virginia Repub-
lican Association was held at their headquar-
tiers, LIE DTois building. Mr.. J. Miller pre-
sided. An invitation was extended for any
present to connect themselves with the asso-
citation, and Mr.. VIM. H. Scott was admitted.
After routine business, the association was en-
tertained with an address by Captain VIM. A.
McNulty, who gave an encouraging and
graphic account of how the campaign was
going in Indiana, he having visited there
lately. Mr.. D. Syphax followed in a few re-
marks upon the political feeling in Loudoun
county, Virginia, representing it as q field for
good work for the party. The association is
in good condition, and is now earnestly en-
gagged in the campaign, sending out docu-
ments, and doing all in their power to sustain
and promote the interests of the Republican
party. Their rooms present busy scene, and
every night the members are engaged in fold
ing directing and mailing documents to places
where the most good can be accomplished.

Marshal Ecklofs Status,

The statement of the removal of Marshal
Eckloff from his position in the Police Court
on account of complication of his accounts
with the District is incorrect, and probably
grows out OF the fact that since the return of
Judge Smell the latter addressed Marshal Eek
loft note, stating that after protracted ex-
perience it is clear that the Office of deputy
marshal and collector Of fines and the Office of
bailif Of the court are incompatible, since the
office of marshal requires all the time of an
efficient man, and the court needs all the time
of its bailiff. The law allows the court but
two bailifis, and does not provide for auy
special officers; and, in obedience to the de-
maDds of the public interest, he intimates that
his resignation as bailif will be accepted. It
is probable that in view of the above Mr.. Eek
loft will resign as bailif and retain the Office of
marshal of the court. There is nothing wrong
with his accounts whatever.

Caution to the Public.

The merit and success of Benson's Cspcine
Porous Plasters are already clearly estab-
lished. This indisputable fact has brought
out number of imitators, who seek to be
benefited by imposing upon the public ar
ticles under the name of Capsiein and Capsi-
cum Plasters, as being articles similar to Ben
sons. Be not deceived. Their composition is
entirely different, and in no respect the same.
The words Capcine will hereafter be cut in
every plaster to insure the consumer against
counterfeits or limitations. Benson's Capcine
Porous Plssters are now conceded to be the
most effective remedy ever offered to the pub
lie. They give instant relief and cure quicker
than any known plaster, llniment or compo-
sition. They cure where other porous plasters
simply relieve. They. contain neither metallic
or mineral poisons. They are Endorsed by
over two thousand druggists of excellent repu-
tation. Price 25 cents. Can be obtained of
any druggist. SEABURY & JOHNSON,

Columbia met last evening at Columbian Law
building. The president and vice president be-
ing both absent on campaign duty in Indiana
and Ohio, Captain o. S. B. Wall was appoint
ed temporary chairman.
The business Of the meeting being mostly of
an executive nature, the club resolved itself
into executive session.

ing announced to take place last Saturday,
under the auspices of the Hayes and Wheeler
Club of that vicinity, having been prevented
by the inclemency of the weather, the day had

ment was received by the club, which prom
ised its sympathy and earnest cooperation.
Letters were read by the secretary from
number of prominent speakers, indorsing the
proposition of the club to hold a grand Re-
publican mass meeting in this city on the 18th
instant, and promising to be present, as re-
quested.
On motion of Mr.. Adams, a committee of
five was appointed 10 draft set of resolutions
suitable to present to the public on that occa-
sion. The Chair appointed as such committee

Observations on the Nature, Symptoms and
Effects Of Catarrh.
BIZ DIR. HARTLEY, 732 TENTH STREET.

Among the list of chronic diseases which
affect the human frame catarrh is the one
most prevalent, most offensive, most pro-
ductive of discomfort, and most liable to a
variety of dangerous and distressing compli-
cations.
Thousands are annually hastened to a
premature grave from its pernicious effects,
and no doubt thousands are at this moment
slowly perishing under its fatal influence,
ignorant of the cause of..their declining health.
1t was, in fact, the destructive influence of this
disease and its alarming prevalence that first
attracted the writer's attention, and 1t is with
pardonable pride that he refers to the fact of
having been the first physician who made this
dist a a special study, ana originated a sys-
tenn of treatment calculated to effect q radical
and permanent cure.
Catarrh manifests itself by discharge from
the head, varying in its nature in different
cases, and even in the same individual at dif-
feTent times. 1t may be thin, colorless ,acrid
fUid, or a elary, starch.like substance; gen.
orally, however, it is thick, purulent, or
muco- purulent matter, either greenish- yellow
or of deep green tint, occasionally streaked
or fecked with blood. So copious and Often
sive is the discharge In many cases that the
patient feels as though the whole head was in
state of corruption.
Much of the discharge passes backward into
the throat, or collects as a tough, viscid
phlegm behind and above the soft palate, in
the passage between the throat and the head
creating a constant and almost irresistible de-
sire to obtain relief by "haWking," practice
Characteristic of catarrh, aad as embarrassing
to the one affected as it is dsagreeable to those
around. Often the phlegm is SO tenacious
that the most persistent and exhaustive efforts
fail TO dislodge it until some food or stimulant
is swallowed.
Again the offensive matter deposits itself IN
the nasal cavities in the shape of dry, hard
crusts, which, in some cases, accumulates to
such an extent as to form regular plug, OBJ
structing breathing and producing serious dis
comfort. This condition is indicative of ulcer
alton, which in time may destroy the bony
structure of the nose, and produce It's subse-
quent fattening.
The breath is always tainted, and some
times is SO revoltingly offensive as to render
the sufferer an object of disgust to himself as
well as to others, and cases are occasionally
met with in which the stencil is really over
poweriDg, and sufficiently fetid to poison the
atmosphere of a whole room. Thus person
affected with catsrrh lives continually in an
impure atmosphere of his own surrounding,
ard inhales a poisonous etiuyia with every
breath.

dence, 732 Tenth street, near Grant Place.

settle for them. The huckster left, but soon
returned and claimed his money, which was
