THE
Mathushek Upright.
The only Upright Piano which will remain
permanently in tune.

During the past five years makers of Piano
Fortes have been making great efforts to pro-
duce an Upright which will stand our severe
climate. They have used several devices, and
have even tried tbut have given it upl double
iren plates. They have made their cases
strong with immense bookings of wood, and
still most of the Upright Pianos have not
proved satisfactory for this reason That the
Tuning Pins in all of them are placed Into a
wooden plank which is wedged up to the iron
plate, and which, at every change of weather,
will shrink or swell. thus causing the piano to
get out of order and out of tune.

THE MATHUSHEK
PIANOS,

In this particular, are made with a thick iron
plate drilled to receive wooden bushings nj
which the tuning pins are placed; thus the
iron pins are held directly in the tuning plate
and cannot move by any change i'll the wood
work.
From the tuning pin the string passes
through a strong brass agraffe screwed into
the iron plate, thence across the sounding
board bridge, and is fastened to a pin at the
other end of the iron plate, tins producing the
MOST SOLID and STRONGEST PIANO
EVER MADE.
In tone, touch, workmanship and general
finish, the Mathushek Upright cannot be ex-
eelled, and is now rapidly coming into use,
aud it's popularity constantly increases. We
will be very much obliged If you will call and
examine these pianos. We also take old pianos
in exchange at fair value

To Parties Interested in Tombstone.

 Committee.

To Parties Interested in Tombstone. The Tombstone Mining District, whose treasure trOves are now being opened at
 the Sesame" Of the miners pick, has been to those who watch from whence
 the circulating millions come, the theme
 of many a wondorous tale, and eager in-
 quiry for light upon a land whose earth
 and rocks are freighted with the worlds
 supply; and now he who runs may read
 the typographical formation of the dis
 trict named in a Photographic map, itself
 an illustration of the lapidarys art, com
 piled by Messrs. Kelleher and Peel and
 designed by Frank Ingoldsby, all men
 of more than local fame The anthem
 ticity and correctness of the map is as-
 sured by surveyors whose names are
 household words in the mining camps of southern Arizona, and it's exactness cer-
 tifed to by the Messrs. Girds and Witch CT, who as mining engineers know well
 of what they speak. The map Is five feet long by three and one-half feet
 broad, while the central figure Is the famous district named. The position of its many claims lined, colored and cross ed with each separate name, Is at once accurately and distinctly seen. The well defined lines showing the corporate i'm its of the City of Tombstone, gives it an additional value, while below and run ming the whole length of the map, an accurate birds eye view of the town may be seen. Warren district, show ing Bisbee and surrounding claims, Cal
 fornia district, including Galeyville, and Hartford districts, to- ge ther 1t comprehensive map of Graham county, are all finely and skill fully portrayed, as is the Boston mill, the Grand Central hoisting works and several others now famous in tine eyes of the world. A man who locks at the map will be at once pleased with its beauty, and satisfied with the faithful ness of what 1t portrays; and if he does not take the map with him, will return -O look at 1t again. It is a valuable piece of work, and from it's usefulness deserving of a large and ready sale.

Coin. .Clinning in Olden Time.


 England underwent an experience of this trouble in the sixteenth and seven teenth centuries that shows the diff culty of making people see the mischief Of such things, and the final cost that has to be paid for tolerating the fraud, though owing to the vast improvements in coinage, and especially the milling of the pieces, which came then as a correc- tlOn to the evil, such mutilation as they then had will never again be possible. Moreover the lesson ought to have some effect. In Eiizabeth's time, clipping the coins to save the metal clipped off had become such a source of loss that it was declared high treason and made punish able with death. The penalty continued long after, but 1t seemed to accomplish no staying results.
 In one day, for example. seven men were hanged in London and one woman burned for clipping. Still the clipping went on. One coin-clipper. when about to be hanged, offered S30,0O0 for q par don, and Nacauley says that this evi- dence of how the crime paid did more to encourage it, far more than the hang ing of the man did to discourage it. Public opinion was against the hanging and favored the clippers, as they took so lttle from each piece that 1t amounted to almost nothing. To show how the abuse of the coins went on, 1t is related that in 1895 lot of coin that should have weigh ed 221OOO ounces, was weighed and real ly showed lltOUO ounces. Nearly half the value had been abs racted. In 60 taken at random there was only one per feet piece, single half crown.
 One law declared that any one inform ing against clipper should have e40 reward; one clipper informing against two clippers should have a pardon. and any person having the precious thing in his possession should be burned on the cheek The story of the struggle to get rid of the debased coinage Is an old and familiar one. It ended in the famous window tax, and that with it's whole train of evils and its injurious effect up- on health and social life, is considered by historians to have been a benefit to the people, when set against the evils of the cheapened money.
