We Do.

We place Pianos and Organs on trial in
prospective purchasers houses, and thus
give opportunity for careful and judicious
selection.
We allow all the time needed for full
and exhaustive trial.
We sell under a six-year guarantee, and
if Pianos and Organs fail within that time,
we make good the guarantee.
We also give six months exchange priv
ilege, allowing purchasers who are not quite
pleased with instruments to exchange them
at any time within six months after pur-
chase.
We do our utmost to give every purchaser
god and satisfactory instrument, hence
IRE place on trial and give the uHitSuoL e1-
change prirHege.
orr Chickering, Mason & Hamlin and
Mathusbek Pianos are OF exalted and tried
reputation, but all the same we give pur-
chasers chance TO try them in their own
pallors.
Our very lowest priced Pianos and Organs
are also placed on trial and sold under same
guarantee and privilege as our costliest i'll
struments. We sell no instruments that
will not stand trial for months years or a
lifetime.
We carry such A large stock of Pianos
that we can have from five to twenty five
instruments out on trial without in the least
depicting our warerooms.
We solicit sales in our warerooms, at
homes or business places, on the street and
wherever purchasers can be found. We try
not to annoy purchasers by too persistent or
obnoxious drumming, but our business is to
sell Pianos and Organs, and we take every
legitimate way to do it.
Old time, "ante bellum" methods of Piano
trade may have been very good and still
practicable i'll small way, but as for us
we are progressive, and prefer to keep up
with the procession Hence we run our

BETTER KEPT AT SHAVING.
A Barber Turns Shopkeeper and Plays
Out in Short Order.

Out in Short order.
r. y. l.. Brauss, a small dealer at West
Broad and Little Jones streets, was arrested
yesterday upon the affidavit Of l. G. Schwarz-
baum for cheating and swindling. He was
taken before Justice Sheftall and required
TO give bond of 500 for his appearance at
the Superior Court.
This is one of the features of BrauSs fea-
lures in business, and though his liabilities
are small and his assets smaller, there are
evidences Of methods that would have done
credit to a larger operator and more
prominent bankrupt.
Up to October last Brauss kept barber
shop on Whitaker street, near South Broad,
and by habits of industry and economy
supported his family, paid his debts and
fellow men. He tired of the shop,
razor and brush and sought to
embark in some other business
not requiring so much physical labor. His
particular friend was Mr.. Julius Perlinski,
"A Bryan street merchant, and to him he
coniided his ambition. He said that he had
about 81 ,000 and he wanted TO invest it in
a business that would lessen his toll and
enable him to make living besides. lie
limited at gong into dry goods, and Sir.
Perlinslli agreed to stock a store for him
with 81 800 worth OF dry goods that he
might select and that he could pay 500
in cash and the remainder as soon as the
goods were sold. He also gave Brauss the
privilege Of returning such goods as he
could not sell, or were likely to become a
drug, and they would be credited on his
account at cost price This offer Brauss inn
medIately accepted. He bought vacant
lot at the corner of West Broad and Little
Jones streets on credit, agreeing to improve
il and purchase it within year, or pay
rent for it. He then built shanty- like struc-
ture. This completed, his stock Of goods
was moved III and the business opened. He
made Saturday night payments to his back
er Mr.. Perinski, but generally man
aged to make new purchases amounting to as
much or more than his payments. In this
way he continued to deal with his benefac-
Or without reducing the amount of his
original indebtedness.
Pretty soon he began to deal with other
houses. He bought goods of Altmayer 81
Co, Schwarzbaum, Gartunkle & Co. and
Others, and everything went along smoothly
until Friday last, when a postal card was
received from Chattanooga by a merchant
in the city stating that Brauss' clerk was
there and had sold 5000 worth of goods for
$500 This information being impaired to
his creditors, they at once set about to save
themselves, but Brauss had in the mean
time put his affairs in the hands of an as
signee-Mr. r. II. Tatem.
Mr.. Schwarzbaum's grouud for the
charge he prefers against Brauss is hat the
latter represented to him that he owned a
house and lot and didn't owe a cent in the
town, and upon this assurance Mr.. Schwarz-
baum sold him goods. The first payment
was due yesterday. The payment was not
made and Brauss was arrested.
The amount of Brauss' Indebtedness is
81 700, and though his stock, which is the
only assets, is scheduled at 100, it would
be hard matter to dispose of it for $3.50

THE WEEK AT THE THEATRE.
A Series OF Brilliant Engagements
James, Wainwright and Rhea

A Series OF Brilliant Engagements
James, Wainwright and Rhea.
The present week will offer series of
brilliant attractions at the theatre Every
night except one is filed. Louis James and
Marie Wainwright will open tomorrow
night with "Gretchen," and on Tuesday
night they will play "Virginius" "Gretch-
en-" is W. S. Gilberts version of "Faust, ="
in which Mr.. James viii play 'Mephisto,"
and Miss Wainwright "Margueriten The
play is considered one of the most artistic
of Mr.. Gilbert's efforts. The sarcastic col
laborator of "Sir Arthur Sullivan never
loved the church or its frocked professors,
and he seems to have exhausted all his
powers of cynicism and satire on the char
acter of ''Mephisto," who rails at certain
characteristics of churchmen with great
gusco, and yet at the same time shows some
what of human appreciation of the foibles
and frailties of mankind.
The drama follows i'll the line of Goethes
beautiful poem, but is modernized and in
tensifed by the great art Of the dramatist.
The James-W cartwright Company pro-
duce Gretchen" with a careful and elab-
crate attention to stage appointments and
scenic effects. Gretchen is one of Miss
Wainwlight's most powerful and pathetic
impersonations, while the "Mephisto' of
Mr.. James is remarkable for ITS grotesque
and artistic representations of the Prince
of LAWYERS

The piano and organ dealers in this city
agree in saying that their business is stead
lily on the increase, and is becoming larger
from year to year. During the past year
the advancement made in musical culture
in this vicinity has resulted in demand for
the higher grades of pianos, there being no
difficulty of disposing of Eigh-priced instru-
ments As usual, the Steinways still lead
the trade, and are looked upon by the ma
jority of musicians as the most perfect in
struments The demand for the CHECKER
ing, Weber, Gabler and other good pianos
is also large, while in the cheaper grade of
instrument the trade has been fairly good
The importation of German instruments, an
experiment tried few years ago, has re
suited in good trade, quite number of
these excellent instruments having been
sold. The trade in secondhand pianos has
been very large during the past year, so
much so that many dealers have found the
demand exceed the supply. Organs have
sold well, especially the reed organ, of which
