Piano to be Given Away.

1t has been stated by certain competitors
through advertisements and in conversation
with people that the Sohmer piano is a
'second-class" and an ''inferior' instru-
ment. In order to give them chance TO
substantiate these statements publicly will
make the following offer:
If these parties will bring competent au-
thority and proof that the Sohmer is not a
"frst- class" piano in tone, action, material,
workmanship and dursbility-in fact in
every respect will give the finest piano at
my store to a worthy musical society of this
city free of charge.
This offer will hold open for the next
thirty days.
In the meantime invite the public to call
at my store to examine the Sohmer, which is
the standard of excellence.

The WHEEL INSTINCT.

upon new revolution that Is destined 10 set

have been 3 curiosity had not Watt and
Stephenson, and Morse, and Edison, and
scores Of other geniuses been born. The
bicycle for time was considered novelty,
but roller skates are taken as a mere COM

Yankee could not invent a small pair of
trucks 20 fasten 10 a mans boots with straps!
Now shOw-windows Of merchants are stored
full OF these little carriages for men; elegant
buildings are erected III which 10 teach men
their use; Mr.. Pegail makes a specially of
roller-skating shoes; Mr. Cheapiohn's
specially is skating costumes; the hat

ball has been played upon wheels at Detroit;
polo, cricket and lacrosse have suffered long
this innovation; races of all kinds and in
Vulnerable contests are performed upon
rollers. man at st. Joseph, this State, is
teaching ponies the use of roller skates and
proposes giving novel exhibition of their
wonderful feats; two brothers fasten the
rollers to stills, strap the stills to their legs
and give exhibitions of the wonderful speed
they can make about the rink. Truly, b. f.
Taylor has a good opportunity to add a
chapter to his excellent volume, "The World

'Tis an age of evolution and revolution.
Man has caught the inspiration of the wheel

solid smoothe and noiseless floor and under

UNIVERSAL HOLIDAY.
PRAYER. PRAISE AND MUSIC.
The Manner IN which the Day will be
Celebrated in Many OF the
Churches of the City.

Christmas day with all its bright memories,
happy reunions and merry making is here.
Young and old, rich and poor, low or high
share its blessings and receive some good
from its hallowed influence. Many are the
hearts glsddened to-day and few there are
IN Grand Rapids who will go entirely neg
lected or unsemembered. The day should
be one of thanksgiving and praise,
as well as feasting and merry
making. and in nearly all of
the churches throughout the city special
Christmas services have been arranged, for
old and young. Songs of praise will form a
large portion of these exercises, and below
we give the appointments together with the
musical programs to be followed in several
of the churches.
ST. Marks EPISCOPAL.
The church has been beautifully decorated
for the special Christmas services. The
chancel widow has been covered with solid
bank of evergreen, with the exception of the
stained-glass picture of Jesus. Above the
picture is a large gilt star, and around it the
words, Thou shalt call His name Jesus
Emmanuel" There will be choral service
at 7:30 a. m, mathis at $50, second service
with surpliced choir, at 10 o'clock with SER
mon; choral service at p. M, followed with
the Good Samaritan Christmas tree. The
