The Piano Business.

"A Posr-ISTILLraENcKR reporter, in con-
versation with Mr.. +. Christianer yester-
day, learned few things both instructive
and interesting about Q business which.
perhaps of all commercial pursuits, is the
most foreign to the public in general.
The piano, what is it made Off How Is it
made and what is it WORTH OF the great
multitude of purchasers and Of the hum
dreds of dealers how many can answer
correctly those three questions. Mr..
Christianer, who certainly is well
informed and thoroughly conversant
with the subject, says that not one
dealer in forty is q practical piano man
one who can dissect, analyze and explain
tho intricate workings of the pianoforte
action and it's general construction. Most
dealers sell their instruments by praising
their merits as they were recommended
by the manufacturers, having no knowl-
edge whatever of their intrinsic value.
For two valid reasons the dealer should be
musician. tuner and practical piano
builder-frst, to prevent the manufact-
urer imposing upon him, and, second, to
prevent the possibility Of misrepre-
senting the instrument to his pat
rons. What value is dealers recon.

the cost price, than his customer. The
dealer is just as liable to be misinformed
regarding the musical and durable feat
ures of the piano as his customer if he is
not practical judge himself The piano
is an expensive article, and purchasers
can i'll afford to take their own judgment
in selecting one. hence the better plan Is
to seek the dealer who knowA what he is
selling from practical experience with
every detail of their manufacture, and in
addition bears an honorable reputation.
With him any dissatisfaction on the part
of the purchaser is willingly removed. for
he can not afford to have it otherwise. Such
dealer will sell at = fair profit and give
the customer just what is represented.
The long list Of patrons shown by Mr..
Christianer, and the names Of prominent
people among them. prove him to be .
dealer thoroughly posted, practical. expe-
rIenced, honorable. upright and reliable.

Judgment Executed ON . Launch While

Judgment Executed . Launch While
on the Water.
Constable Terry King yesterday was
subject to . mild case of "shanghaing"
while serving an execution of judgment on
Earl d Englebrecht's naptha launch at
Budlong's boat house, but in the end was
not only put ashore but obtained the full
amount claimed. w. III. Suber and Frank
Eagan, contractors, brought suit in Justice
Neagle's court last month for an amount
due for piledriving at Alfred Earl and
Robert EngIebrecht's boat house, Lake
Washington, last March, and obtained
judgment, the whole amount being sos 80.
Friday last Earl & Engiebrecht sold the
launch to Alaska parties and brought it
across the city to the bay, intending to
ship it to Victoria yesterday on the Kings.
ton. Suber & Eagan evidently were on
the lookout, for yesterday morning they
obtained an execution of judgment from
Justice Eeagle, and Constable Terry King
went down to the water front to execute
it. He found Earl & Englebrecht showing
the purchaser how to run it. King jumped
into the boat and informed the gentlemen
of his business. Before he had finished
one of tho occupants had cut the ropes
holding the boat to the float and as they
drifted away the constable asked whore
they were going. One said Alaska and
another Tacoma. The constable thought
be would go too. Then they became angry
and threatened to throw him into the
bay. This talk did not frighten Terry
King to any extent, but he went to the
stern Of the boat and picked up an iron
wrench. The boat was run around the
buoy, but finding that bulldozing tactics
did not work. the crew put back to the
boat house and after consultation among
themselves paid the constable $1O890.

A Half-starved Young Man Found Wa

dering In the Woods.
Deputy Sheriff J. w. Smart yesterday
brought down from Martin creek Charles
Taylor, an insane young man whom ne
found wandering in the woods about one
and one-half miles from that place. de
had been seen around there for several
DAYS. and his strange conduct in holding
aloof from the settlements gave rise to in
ouiries. When found he was weak from
hunger, but made no resistance to cap
ture. After eating q hearty meal, how
ever. he was more obstinate and restless,
but was not violent. Net person in any
of the railroad camps knew him, although
he SAYS he has worked for various con-
tractors on the railroad. The deputy
places little reliance in his statements, a.
his mind is utterly gone. and he hardly
knows enough to eat. Yesterday at the
Jail he neglected . good meal for dis
carded fiaxseed poultics, and was con-
stantly craving for tobacco. He said his
name is Charles Taylor, and that he had
q brother living near Spokane. He Is
about 70 or n years Of age, is i've feet
nine inches in height and is of sandy COM
plexion. From the loss of taste and his
constant craving for something to eat it is
suspected that he became lost in the
woods some time ago and was driven in.

Leads to Discord.


John A. Johnston. aged Is, and Clifton
Caldwell, aged 16, sons of respectable
parents. residing near the corner of Pike
and Eighth streets, were arrested yester-
day morning by Detective Roberts on .
charge of stealing banjo from the resi-
dence of Mrs. Sarah Ewing, at the corner
of Eleventh and Howell streets. The
banjo WAS found at the home of young
Johnston, but both boys acknowledge an
equal share in the guilt. Mrs. Ewing was
moving out and had left the banjo in the
house. The boys, seeing that the house
was vacated and unlocked. inferred and ap-
propriated the musical instrument. A
little boy saw them go away with it and
informed Mrs. Ewing. She told the police
authorities yesterday that she went to Mr..
Caldwell and after telling hum that the
boys had the banjo asked to have it re-
turned, otherwise she would prosecute.
The reply she got was to go ahead and
prosecute. She followed the suggestion,
and the case will be heard tomorrow morn
ing in the police court.
When the boys were taken before Chief
Jackson they confessed, but said in miti-
cation that the house was vacant and the
instrument had been left behind

Chief Of Police Jackson has decided to
take the ''cruelty to animals" matter in
hand and will probably instruct all officers
of the force to watch drivers of heavy
teams closely. This matter was FASTENED
by the receipt yesterday Of . message from
. woman who resides In the vicinity Of
Lake Union. She said that at the corner
of Depot and Sixth streets the drivers of
teams loaded with brick beat their horses
shamefulIy, and that when the animals
stopped exhausted one man would get on
one side Of horse and another man on
the other and pound the brutes until they
moved the load.
