CONVINCING REASONS
For Purchasing a Kranich 6
Bach Piano.

/. Every part of the piano, including
the cases, key-boards, tops, legs, sound.
ing boards, etc., being gotten up and
manufactured under the personal super
intendence of the members Of the firm,
renders it absolutely impossible that q
defective piano can leave the establish
ment, and enables the manufacturers to
fully warrant every instrument.
2. All their pianos are cons tructed
with their over-strung scales, improved
and remodelled metal plates, and en-
body some of the most valuable patented
inventions known in the art of piano.
making.
All their scales. peculiaritles of con-
struction, improvements, inventions,
etc., are made by themselves-practi-
cal and scientific piano makers. The
purchasing of supplies is not delegated
to subordinates, but is personally at
tended to by the proprietors. so that the
possibility OF the evil consequences of
defective material is reduced to q mini
mum.
With staff of the most skillful
workmen In the trade, with an ex-
tended use OF costly and labor-saving
machinery, coupled with tho fact that
the entire plant of buildings. yards,
warerooms, etc., is owned by KRANIcH
& BACH, they have reduced the cost Of
production to the lowest limit consist
emit with thoroughly first-class work.
5. BY reason of the above facts it
must be evident that Kranich g. Bach
are enabled to offer to the public piano
absolutely irst-class in every respect
at price beyond competition by other
manufacturers who, in addition to the
ordinary expenses OF production. are
burdened with the enormous costs of
lavish advertising, high rentals,
high-salaried uperintendents, buyers,
ETC., all OF which must be covered in
the selling price.
Q. The fact that the leading pianists
and musicians endorse the Kranich Sc
Bach pianos for purity and sympathy
of tone, delicaoy of touch, thoroughness
of workmanship and durability, and
when not restrained by contracts with,
or under obligations to, other manufac-
turers, Enthusiastically pronounce them
the best and prefer them for their own
use in public and in private.

LAGUNA SURVEY.
General Complaint Against the
Commissions Work.

The Board of Supervisors held an adj
journed meeting yesterday forenoon, and
listened to deal of talk against the work
of the Laguna Survey Commissioners.
John NJ. Burnett complained because the
Commissioners did not rely upon their own
Judgment instead of the Assessors in fix
ing benefits and damages. Property one
mile away had been assessed as heavily as
property close to the survey.
Theodore Hittell objected To an assess
ment of per cent on his property situated
one mile distant 1t could not be held that
a lot on the corner of California street and
Van Ness avenue would not be'beneGted
any more than lot on the corner OF Grove
and Larkin streets, and yet tile proportion
in the proposed assessment of the commits
sion is the same on that property. He also
criticized the commission for consuming
eighteen months with task that should
have been completed in sixty days. The
laud taken for equivalent to half of
the survey-will cost $3.50, $40 Surely the
remaining two-thirdS should be worth double
that, and yet it is only assessed at $780,
227 90; and the owners VINO are benefited
more than all others, are only called upon 20
pay $40 442, While the outside district must
pay Sl34,912.
Bartlett Doe explained that he owned a
little less than two tifty-yarS lots on Mar
ket street, one mile away from the survey,
ana had been assessed S4175. whole
block at that rate would amount to S11,S70.
and yet the entire eleven and One-third
blocks in the survey are assessed at little
over $4,000. Such work he regarded as an
outrage.
More objections urged were Of the same
nature, and the matter was referred to the
Street Committee, and further hearing will
be granted before that body at the next
meeting,

A LUNATIC SALESMAN.
He 1ntimidates a Child and Assumes
Charge of Store.

He 1ntimidates a Child and Assumes
Charge of Store.
Mrs. Minnie Grieber, who keeps grocery
store on Pearl street, Bloomfield, had an ex-
citing experience this morning with crazy
man who took charge of her store during her
temporary absence, says the Pittsburg Press.
Having occasion to go upstairs she left her
six-year daughter in charge of the store,
as was her custom, with instructions to call
her If more customers came in than the
child was able to wait upon.
After being upstairs at her housework for
nearly an hour she came down to the store
and found stranger behind the counter and
her little daughter seated on chair i'll the
rear of the store nearly frightened out of
her senses. The man made no excuse, nor
would he leave the store until thrown out
bodily by Mrs. Grieber. She discovered,
when 1t was too late and some time after the
demented fellow had disappeared, that he
had been selling goods to a number OF Gus
toners during her absence, and had taken
in about So, which he had carried away with
him. Her daughter told her that when the
man entered the store he acted as If he was
crazy, and told the child he would kill her if
she made any cutlery or called her mother.
Mrs. Grieber now regrets her haste and
wishes that she had called the police and had
her UuWelcOme caller arrested

CORPORAL PUNISHMENT
Preparing New Law to Govern
Teachers.

The trouble and annoyance that Joseph
0Connor's punishment of young Ches-
ter Kinsman caused the Board of Edu-
cation has set it to devise some sort of
regulation to govern corporal punishment in
future. Now that the rules are being re-
vised and newly compiled. it is tie Boards
desire to incorporate in them suitable law
on that subject, and to that end Director
Harvey has proposed that when punishment
seems necessary the facts must be reported
to the principal or vice principal. Such
teacher must then investigate, and IL the
pupil is found guilty the punishment may be
administered under the following conditions:
The principal or vice,princpal shall inflct said
punishment, and shall before lnfilcting said
punishment require the presence OF teacher
In the School Department, and m no case shall
any punishment be administered unless In the
presence of n competent witness.
Pupils shall be punished only on the palm Of
the hand, the strokes 10 be given with a leather
strap, which shall be made after a model placed
In the office of the Board of Education.
Punlshments must never be excessive. cruel
nor lHhuman. but must always be administered
with moderation, regulated by the Impartial judg-
meut OF principals.
In The event OF refusal to submit TO the mode
OF punishment herein provided, pupils Will incur
the penalty OF suspension for at least twenty
consecutive school days
All cases Of CORPORAL punishment shall be re-
ported TO The Superintendent by principals
whose reports must show the ages and bodily
conditions of all punils punished, giving also
detailed statement Of the cause Of punishment
the time OF its infctOn, It's degree of severity
and the name OF the witness.
Any principal who administers corporal pun
ishment 10 mode contrary TO that herein pre-
Scrl0ed snail be liable 10 an investigation and II
tiled aud proved guilty, may be expelled.
The proposed rule will be passed upon at
the next meeting Of the board.

TIPS ON INSURANCE.
W. j. buttons Lecture at the CONNER
ciaI High School.


ciaI High School.
Yesterday afternoon the 300 pupils in at
tendance at the Commercial High School as
sembled in the chief classroom to listen to
lecture upon insurance delivered by Will
lam j. Dutton, Secretary of the Fireman'S
Fund Insurance Company.
Mr.. Button began with an historical review
of the insurance business, from the organ
ization of the initial mutual protective as
ISOLATION down to the present condition of
wealthy corporations and keen competition
for desirable risks. From a local stand
point insurance companies have not been
universally prosperous. Twenty-seYen Cali
fornia companies have been organized since
1853, only nine of which are now in the
field, eighteen having either failed or retired.
The lecturer then proceeded TO an enumer-
alton OF many OF the most common mlscOn-
ceptiOnS of the assured, explaining the
necessity Ter a strict adherence TO all the
conditions Of the policy. People going out
OF town Tor the summer, he said, should pro-
cure permit for the transfer of their be-
lOnglngs to their objective point in the cOun-
try, as otherwise the insurance upon apparel
and furniture burnt when not in the city
residence would be vitiated. Mr.. Dutt0n
stated that 80 per cent of the total indemnity
paid TO policy-hOlders was fraudulent and
was either the result Of deliberate incendfar-
ism or of criminal caTeessness, which ac-
cOmpllShed the same result. lie thought
the general public should endeavor to secure
the conviction of parties guilty of arson, as
they not only robbed the Insurance COM
panleS but endangered the lives ana unin-
Sured property of all their neighbors.
