A, (. BAKERS AID

We have just taken the agen- cy for the sale of the DOLL PI- ANO.
 The manufacture of these pi- nos was begun in 1871. he quality of the instrument has been steadily improved year by year, until the manufacturer is now ready to warrant them in every particular.
 Over GOO hands are now be- ing employed by the manufac- turers to keep the supply up to the demand.
 We are dealers in Furniture and do not claim to be judges of pianos but we have such a strong guarantee from the maker, and have received such flattering re- commentators from those who have used the instruments that we are willing to stake our repu- tation on them, and will stand by and guarantee in every par ticular all sales made.
 We can handle pianos at this point in connection with our fur niture business with practically no additional expense, and can therefore give the very bottom figures.
 Now if you are in want of a piano, we shall be very much pleased to have you call and ex- amine some of these instru- ments at our warehouse in Haw- leyyille.

AUSTRIA WITH GERMANY.
She supports the Idea Of Curbing Enslisi,
EncrOa ohments on African Territory.

Berlin, Jan. 5.-Financiol interest
continues to be centered in the prospects
OF the issuance of an American loan.
The Bourse's here and in Frankfort alb
sOrb the best of the American stocks
which are still being offered for sale in
London but the leading operators show
greater disposition to await the def
mite announcement of u bond issue. A
story comes from st. Petersburg alleg-
ing that Prince Labanoff- -Rostovsky,
the Russian minister of foreign affairs,
has declared with all possible feelings
of good will toward the United States
that the Gear would never recognize the
Monroe doctrine and in regard thereto
had taken 4 position similar to that as
sumed by Germany and England. This
story has not yet been affirmed or de-
MED.
The violent tone displayed by the
English press. especially In their Trades
against the Kaiser does not agree with
the character of the communications
received at the foreign Office from Lord
Salisbury. the British foreign minister
who protests his innocence of all know
ledge of the plans of the chartered South
Africa company and declares the deter
mination of Great Britain to act strictly
in accordance with the terms of the
Transvaal treaties concluded in 1881
and in 1884. If Lord Salisbury intends
to demonstrate against the congratula-
tory message cabled to President Krug-
err by the Kaiser. he is obviously taking
his time to ponder over the manner in
which he will do Il as far as nothing
has been heard at the foreign Office as
to how the government of Great Brit
ain will treat what the English press
calls deadly insult which justifies
war. Nothing appears likely to cause
any alteration in the attitude of Ger
many in respect to her resolve to sup
port the Transvaal republic In declar-
ing the convention Of 1884 void and thus
enabling the Beers to obtain their in
dependence Of England. The conten-
ton Of Germany is that the convention
of 1884 must lapse and that the new rela-
tions of England with the Transvaal
must give the latter the right to direct
an uncontrolled intercourse with the
other powers
The authorities at the foreign Office
deny that the Transvaal government
has asked Germany to assume pro-
tectorate over the South African repub-
lie. Austria has no special interest In
South Africa, but she nevertheless sup
ports the idea of Germany's interven-
ton in the Transvaal. The Vienna
newspapers concur in expressing hope
that the powers will take advantage Of
the present opportunity to curb English
encroachments.

MAKE GOODS IN JAPAN.
Tho baldwin Straw Plating Works Ship
Their Machinery from Connecticut.


Bridgeport, Jan. 5.-The straw pIait-
ing works oS n. a. Baldwin & Co., To-
Gated at Milford, will soon be removed
to Japan. For more than a year ex-
periments have been made with ma
chinery to be used in the weaving of
japanese straw mating. They have
been successful. and syndicate of
wealthy men has been formed for the
purpose of establishing n factory for
the manufacture of the goods i'm Japan
A quantity of the new machinery has
already been shipped, and William
Dougherty, who has been with N. A.
Baldwin & Co. for many years, has
gone out to superintend setting It up.
For several years the firm has sought
to extend it's business and compete with
the cheap labor of Japan, but no head
way was made until the new machin-
ery was invented. Then the mating
was turned out with great rapidity, but
even then 1t was found II was impos-
sible to offer the product at the import
er's price, IT costs no more to trans
port the finished goods that 1t does the
raw material, and investigation showed
that even running expenses In America
were not aB cheap as the primitive
methods Of Japan or China. whereas the
difference in the price Of labor Is very
g.eat At present the duty on the goods
ia not enough to stop the Americans
from going TO Japan to manufacture,
and the cheap labor II = great induoe-
ment.

GOOD SHORT STORIES.
Their lives Were Spared.

George Davis and Bill Jacobs were
small farmers in Bourbon county, Ky.
They were not of blue blood, but were
chivalrous, all the same. and both were
dangerous fighters. They had been
friends, but fell out at last. and 1t was
supposed they would shoot on sight next
time they met.
Their first meeting after the emeute
began was in the streets of Paris, the
county seat. Davis drew a big navy re-
volver and Jacobs a little pocket derringer.
When Davis saw the other mans weapon
he muttered, "Oh, pshaw!" and returned
his revolver to his belt and picked up a
br.ickf5at Jacobs made no attempt to
shoot and the fight was deferred to a
more auspicious occasion.
This reminds me of an incident that
happened In Denver during the wild and
woolly days. A young man from away

an old-fashioned Allen revolver-pepper.

Louisiana Italian Crimes.
New Orleans, Jan. 5-The operations
of the Malta in the sugar districts OF
Louisiana around New Orlenas, which
resulted in the killing this summer of
nine Italians and the serious wOunding
OF six others, for which crimes no one
has been punished or arrested, was re-
sumed yesterday, when another Italian
was mysteriously yassassinated on FIKe's
Peak plantation in st. James parish,
very close to the place where the five
members of the Giordano family were
assassinated in July.
The murdered man was found in the
morning in the rear of the plantation,
lying face downward. his back being
full of buckshot. evidently fired from
ambush by the assassin while the vic
tim was unconscious of the presence Of
an enemy. In the pocket Of the de-
ceased was paper containing the name
of Joseph CapOne and a summons to ap-
pear as a witness in the Defalco trial
now before the district court. X is sup
posed that the deceased is Giuseppe
Mauro. husband of the PRINCIPAL wit
ness in the Defalco case. and the assas-
sins murdered him to get him out of the

BATTLE SHIP TEXAS.
A Board Of Survey TO decide on the Ex
tent and Cost of Rcpairs.

Washington, JAM 1.-THE battle ship
Texas has arrived at Norfolk, where she
will be examined by board of survey
to ascertain her condition and to report
on the extent and cost of the necessary
repairs to put her in good condition for
service. The Texas will then be placed
out of commission. her officers and
crew assigned to other vessels, and the
repairs begun.
1t will be necessary to place the Texas
in dry dock to make the necessary al
teratiOns and this operation will be ex-
ceedingly delicate, not only on account
of the misfortune which followed the
docking experience at the Brooklyn
Navy Yard, but because the Navy De-
partment once declined to dock the ves-
sci at the Norfolk yard. the reason
given being that her great width would
make it exceedingly ticklish work to get
her into the basin.
