DIsTINGUIsHED VISITORS.

Representatives of the Steinway Firm to
 Examine the New Piano Invention To-
 day.
 Ever since MT. Morris Stenert of this city announced the completion of the new piano forte which he has been working at for so many years, he has been the recipient of letters of congrat- ulation and inquiry from all over the country. Critics, piano manufacturers and professional musicians of all kinds have shown their interest in many ways. The editorial which appeared in the Journal and Courier" and the Reg ister article have been widely copied, and all the musical journals have com mented on the importance of MT Stein ert's invention.
 The most important visitation thus far to examine the new action will be the coming to-day of MT. Charles Steinway and MT. Henry Ziegler of the Steinway firm of New York, and MT. Krehbiet of the New York Tribune. The Steinways telegraphed immediate ly upon the announcement that the new piano was ready for inspection that they would send representatives at once. MT. Charles Steinway came home from Europe last week and telephoned MT. Steinert asking what day he could come. MT. Steinert asked him to wait until this week, as some repairs and al- alterations were being made in the ac- tion. Now everything is repaired and the gentlemen are expected this morn- ing. It is expected that MT. Walter Bradley Keeler will play. MT. Keller is enthusiastic over the new action and has played on it several times in the hall
 The results of the inspection will be awaited with considerable interest, be- cause of the position that the Steinway firm holds in the world of musical af- fairs.

ducks that congregate yearly on Stow
Lake." said Superintendent McLaren.
"There were two in particular" he con-
tinued, "two red-headed fellows that We're
lame, so lame that they could hardly wad-
die. and their wings were broken. Well,
when the time came for the ducks to mi
CRATE they all went except those two red
heads.
"They looked rather lonely--tbese two
poor little beggars-among the swans and
the mudhens. Well, one afternoon we
were astonished to see an unusual num-
Der of ducks on the lake at time when
they ought to have been somewhere else,
but we were more stonished the next
morning to note that they had disap-
peared. Not only were they gone, but the
lame red-headed ducks had also disap-
peared.
"A search was made, but they could not
be found, and after several days We con-
cluded that they went the same time the
visiting ducks left. Now, it is a we'll
known fact that a duck with broken
wing cannot fly, and it was a matter of
mystery to me how the beggars got away,
and after thinking the matter over for
several days L came to the conclusion that
they were carried away by the visitors.
'Of course that is only conjecture, and
can only think that those visiting ducks
came back for the express purpose of re-
moving their injured companions, and that
they did it, but how they did it is what

WANT THE BOY PREACHER
The First Christian Church Pleased
With the Audience He Drew
Yesterdav.

Edwards Davis, the youthful pastor of
the First Christian Church of Oakland.
preached in the First Christian Church on
Twelfth street in this City yesterday, and
his audience was the largest that has at
tended the local church in long time.
1t is very likely that the young man
will. as a result OF the annual meeting OF
the church, to be held tomorrow night,
be called 10 the pulpit he occupied yester-
day. The congregation is favorably i'm
pressed with him, and particularly be-
cause he seems to be the kind of man that
can attract large audience to the SER
vices.
I'VE are to elect q pastor Tuesday" !"
said prominent member of the church
last night, land we may choose Davis.
He is the only person prominently dis
cussed as possible successor of the Rev.
Il. n. Campbell, who resigned May to 20
back to Kentucky. What is more Davis
is popular and it is possible to get him.
He is accused by some of being sensational,
but he is very effective, and if he does be-
come slightly tragic it is only that he may
draw people to talk to. 1t is only means
to a good end and / believe he is an
earnest, sincere worker, though he is only
about % years of age.

thousands far and near ;.-they are all sufferers
with that one. We are happy TO bear his bur-
den through this life with the help of God,
according to the command of our Lord and
for the value that belongs to a good name, but
we feel IL would be dishonorable as lovers of
the whole truth to rest with a partial result
and we invite all that have seen his patriotic
example and received his spiritual comfort to
direct their warm desires and ardent prayers
TO God that he will cause full disclosure II
less before the law.
And IL is justified. To an impartial observer
all the troubles were incurred in the strict line
of his duty RS far we can see, and we feel
that 1t would be abominable in the sight of
God TO desert him as the case stands now, not
withstanding the fact that every effort made
10 clear his reputation met with an adverse
result both in church and court. Let those
who attempt to reconcile two such equally
numbered factions and widely differing quail
the cost. The image of clay, of wood and
of brass will never stand. This view
does not imply any malice, with the
results of experience before us; far
better legal separation and an equitable
division. To attempt union under any cir
eumstances will be TO displace principle, AID
TO put expediency at the helm where IT win
produce disastrous results. Neither party can
afford to retire from ifs position without
sacrificing principle to expedience. II we do
we shall have to give an account for such an
unholy barter. There is one thing upon which
we can unite with every household where God
is feared, TO ask him to reveal for his glory
above and comfort of every lover of truth be-
low, the full truth of the matter. Those who
have clung to their leader have this TO CON-
sight, they are strictly within the commands
of our Lord. and have not invaded the domain
of impartial truth as partisans.
