4 New and Probable Employment That Il
Open to Women. 70
Much has been said about the differ
snt vocations whereby woman can
earn q comfortable living, and, with
others, piano tuning is now enumer-
ated.
This occupation is not the easy one
that many imagine. 1t requires an &C.
curate ear, q strong arm, and much
practice, A young woman who is learn
ing to wicld the hammer, says: II had
no idea 1t was so hard"
A German, professor Of music, when
she told him what she was doing, said:
"You will never learn, you will never
learn, l say. 1t is like MUSIC, it takes
q lifetime to learn it." She is disprov-
ing that though, for she is making
rapid progress, and, although she has
been studying only two years, will, in
all probability, soon be able to fine
tune," a. it is called, piano.
One should go into factory to learn
tuning. There are schools where pi-
ano tuning IN taught, and there can be
no doubt that the training Is excellent,
o. far as 1t can be, still, to become q
practical piano tuner, it is essential
that one should be where the instru-
ments are put together, SO as to be able
70 acquire an accurate knowledge OF
the details.
The beginning is called chipping, y
that Is, tuning the wires after the case
has been strung and before it is put in
iu its proper place in the piano frame.
Often that chipping" has to be done
two or three times, because the case
not being in firm position the wires
slip and fall. Rough tuning follows,
sad after some repetitions the finishing
Or fine tuning puts the instrument in
suitable condition for the player.
A great amount of work it seems,
and it is fact that it requires much
practice 10 become successful piano
tuner.

A COMMERCIAL DISPLAY.
Goldberg Bros. Celebrate Their
Change of Location.
An Admitting Crowd Turned Out
Last Night to See the SpIen-
doris of the New Store.

The new store of Goldberg Bros. was
a blaze of glory last night. The occa-
sion was grand opening, the culmina-
tion of weeks active preparation.
The opening was preceded in the al
ternoon by a parade headed by the
Filarmonica band and consisted of
persons following with banners de-
scriptive of the opening
Long before the time of throwing
open the doors the sidewalk in front
was thronged by crowd, attracted by
the gorgeousness OF the deliberately
dressed show window.
When at last the doors were opened
a sight presented itself, the like Of
which had never been seen in a Phe-
nix business house. The large room,
twenty-six feet front, with a depth Of
1879 feet, was brilliantly illuminated
by ffty-seven incandescent lamps,
nearly as many gas jets and an arc
lamp. The room was profusely and
Hastily decorated with flowers from
Turner's nursery, and the immense
stock was as artistically arranged as
one OF SO great bulk could be. The
music was furnished by Arriola's or
chestra. Messrs. Aaron and Dave
Goldberg, assisted by their entire
corps of statesmen and Herbert Drach-
man, all in evening dress, received the
guests and conducted them throughout
the various departments.
Great surprise was expressed by
those who had only seen the stock in
the former cramped quarters, at the
magnificence of the display and the
elaborate care which had been shown
in its arrangement.
The extent of the business of the firm
is indicated by the numbe of statesmen
regularly employed in transacting 1t.
Beside the en- terprising proprietors,
there is Phil G. Brennan, the courteous
head of the clothing department, with
his assistants, Fred Niles and Bert
Lincoln. Mr.. Niles, who is also an artis-
tic window decorator, was recently con-

STRANGELY FOUND.
Two Gentlemen Meet in a
Phoenix Hotel,
ton of a Kentucky Mystery of
Fifty Years Standing.

A meeting of two gentlemen took
place at the Commercial hotel the
other day, and mystery which had
bothered the town of Catlettsburg, KY,
for more than half a century was
solved.
Catlettsburg is a fourishing town of
5000, lying on the Ohio river, in the
eastern part of the state. A great
many years ago it was discovered that
the official plat of the town had unac-
countably disappeared. The date of
the disappearance, or even the approx
mate date, no one knew, but it was
only known that when it was wanted it
was gone. Its absence naturally gave
rise to general, expensive and appar-
emily interminable litigation. The con-
dition OF affairs went on for several
years and the title of every piece of real
estate within the corporation was
affected. Every attempt was made to
find the missing plat, but without sue
cess. At last, as the only means of re-
lief, map of the town was made and
was legalized by the legislature. All
property lines were adjusted according
to it, order was finally restored and the
lost plat was all but forgotten when the
need of it had passed away.
About two weeks ago Mr.. ]. McDyer,
a resident of Catlettsburg, came to
Phoenix to pass, away the winter. He
was registered at the Commercial hotel.
A few days after his arrival there came
to the hotel John H. Francis and James
M. Rice, of Peoria, ILL.,, respectively,
president and director of the Peoria
Canal company. While Mr.. Rice was
registering, his eye caught the name of
~. McDyer, Cat1etts burg, KY"
81 want to see this man from Cat
lettsburg," eagerly exclaimed Mr.. Rice,
and few minutes later he was intro
duced to Mr.. McDyer. After the usual
greetings between'strangers had been
passed, Mr.. Rice said: 81 have some
thing at home which may be of inter
est to the people OF Catlettsburg."
"What is t?'' asked Mr.. McDyer. "a
plat of your town." replied the Peoria
gentleman.
Mr.. Rice admitted that it would be

late date and in view of the legalized
map the interest would be exclusively
historical. Mr.. McDyer felt, though,
like an Archaeological who has discov-
cred the bones of a mastodon and
evinced strong curiosity to learn how
the missing plat came into Mr.. Rice's
possession. He was told that the sur
vey had baen made by the grandfather
of Mr.. Rice more than eighty years ago.
When he moved from Catlettsburg he
took the plat with him and it had been
preserved among other old papers
which had descended to Mr.. Rice, who
now said that he would not part with it
on account of the value to him that
years had given it, but he offered to
have tracing made of 1t if the people
of Catlettsburg desired 1t.
