Obi The Elegant Piano Received by Ger
tificate 262. in the Everett Piano CIub
nE,fs' 'UaaLr

Oh! The Elegant PinnO Received by Ger
tIhcate 262. in the Everett Piano CInb
This Week.
This member selects one of the most beau
| tiful upright grand pianos ever brought to
the city and only pays 81 per week. The
price to members of the club is SIS less than
the piano can be sold in the old time way of
buying in small lots. Our club system
allows us to contract for $50 pianos at one
purchase. We have enough members to
bring in the price in cash each week, hence
they get the lowest cash price and have the
privilege of 81 weekly payments. Our store
is full of pianos set aside for Xmas, and we
have added new wareroom at 21 Federal
st. to make room for our immense stock of
fine grade pianos. We allow our members
to take their pianos at any time on the same
payments asked by other dealers, and give
them the price obtained by the club con-
tract. We will save you $75 in the price
and give you the finest piano made. But
we do not sell that cheap, shoddy stuff ad-
vertised by some dealers. The people know
that we are piano makers BY trade, and we
know that such goods would kill our repu-
tation. We have number of odd pianos
such as Weber, Knabe, Decker, Kranach &
Bach, Gaehle, Hallet & Davis and others,
which are in the way. We need the room
they occupy and we will dispose of them at
cost, SO come now and make your selection.
You will receive courteous attention, and if
we cannot please you then we will not ex-
peet you to buy.

CAN'T THROW THE WATER.

SIT is folly to talk of throwing a stream OF
water from the river to the top of the Mo-
nongahela House. Chief Evans thought be-
cause he got two Amoskeag engines together
to throw q stream nearly horizontal along
the wharf, for over 300 feet, that he could
throw water to the top of the Monongahela
House. But he couldn's do it. Any man
of sense knows that it makes no difference
how far you can throw water on dress par
ade. 1t is what you can do in real service
that counts. There isn't an engine in this
city that can throw water over the Monon-
gahela House.
"Chief Brown says that he would keep the
freboat busy in the winter time breaking
the ice on the river. That is rather nom
sensical talk. What good will it do to keep
the ice broken here? It cannot assist navi-
cation when the river is frozen up below.
Beside, there is no ice to break here. Lock
No. breaks all the ice that comes down in
time of thaw or freshet."
Captain Patterson is not the only river
operator who ridieules the freboat scheme.
Scarcely one can be found who.wlll give it
even the faintest approval.

AGAINST A FIRE BOAT
Captain Patterson Says One Couldn't
be Utilized in Pittsburg.
WATER TOO Low IN THE HARBOR
RiVermsn Feel Generally That Such a
Boat is Not Needed.
SOME OTREE DIRECTIONS ALLEGED

Captain Leander G. Patterson does not
believe much in the procurement of fire
and police patrol boat for service on the
rivers here. He gives many reasons why it
will not be serviceable Captain Patterson
is veteran in river service, and one of the
best posted men here in regard to river
matters. He is not now actively in the
harness, has retired from the pilot house to
enjoy his elder years in quiet and to act
only as spectator of the activities of his
fellow men.
Captain Patterson said: "That scheme
for patrol boat is nonsensical one. 1t
will be about the softest snap for the ie lows
! on it that you ever heard of. They won't
have anything to do" 1t was suggested to
Captain Patterson, by friend who was
standing near, that the command of the
proposed vessel would be soft berth for
him. The Captain said: ''I would not
accept anything, high or low, from the city
government.
WATER TOO Low.
''In the first place the vessel would have
to be so small, because of its light draft, that
it could not have great engine power. 1t
could not have draft of as much as three
feet to enable it to move about the harbor
here during the dry season, unless the dam
at Davis Island is kept up all the time.
They may be able to keep that up, but I
doubt it.
sit would be of little use to put out FIRE
in a steamboat. II yen can't put out a
steamboat fire with about three buckets of
water you had better run. 1t is bound to
burn up like o chicken coop. The boat
might be of some service in hauling away the
other boats lying near it, and con6ning the
fire to the one boat. Such boat could not
operate like a fire engine, which gets up
steam as it rushes on its way to fire. On
the boat they would have to keep up steam
all the time. The thing would be costly
without much service.
''There is a fire boat in st. Louis. What
do you suppose is its chief service there?
Washing off the wharves. But our wharves
do not become muddy like those of st.
Louis, and we have no need Of such work
here. In st. Louis the freboat does the
work well.
'The tireboats in New York and Chicago
are of service in extinguishing fires along
the docks, but there the situation is very
different from here. The docks are covered
with mills, residences, elevators and great
lumber yards right at the waters edge.
Here such is not the case except in rare
places. Our wharVes are long and our
buildings and mills as rule long way
from the water.
CAN'T THROW THE WATER.
SIT is folly to talk of throwing a stream of
water from the river to the top of the Mo
nongahela House. Chief Evans thought be-
