Pianos by the Mile.

See Ludden and Bates new adver-
tisment of one thousand Mathushek
pianos. Suppose them all loaded on
to wagons in one grand procession,
allow Is feet for each wagon and
team and the line would be nearly
three miles long. That is just the
wholesale way this great southern
house does business. Having acquired
an interest in the noted Mathushek
Piano factory, they are now supply
ing purchasers direct and saving all
intermediate profits. This means a
saving of from $50 to 500 on each
piano, and the securing of one of the
oldest and most reliable instruments at
a remarkably low figure. Better write
them at Savannah, Ga, or at SO Fifth
Ave-, New York City.

An original individual OF Mons. who DUR

has just died leaving a legacy Of f600 to
five friends under the following extraordi-

on dinners served in different restaurants.
and the deceased had stipulated that at
each meal a certain special dish and par
shall be served. and that at dessert his
memory shall be drunk. Furthermore, the
five companions must dine ia black clothes
and black gloves. and must enter the din

which, although small, keep good
time and ring quite loud IN giving the

house and swallowed the clock. Dill

power has grown tired of neglecting

for tn SO who strengthened its hold

ton, perhaps the administration will
get up and stir itself. The "endless"
cham has been turned loose on the
treasury again, and THERE'S trouble
ahead.
The republican organs are trying
to make it appear that there is no
reason for apprehension; that there is
no significance in this new
gold drain, and all will be we'll;
but they made great fuss over a
similar state Of affairs under the late
administration and predicted all sorts
or disaster as the result. Some Of
them now declare that trouble can
easily be averted through bond sale
but there was nothing too bad for
them to say about bond sales some
months ago. They seem to wish to
imply that the fact that the :epub-
ican party is in power and that it is
pledged to maintain the single gold
standard constitute all the security
the public needs, but the public finds
it hard to understand why keeping
gold out of circulation to enable the
money jobbers to speculate in it is all
right with one party in power and a
great evil under the rule of another
party.
It was understood during the presi-
dental campaign that reform OF the
currency system was absolutely me-
cessary and that it would be forth
coming. The republican leaders
deemed it emergent, however, to
sidetrack the promised reform in or
der to give the campaign contributors
the first call. They forgot, however,
that the money power is not in bust
ness for purely hygienic purposes
and that the single gold standard
cannot be male to work to the gen.
eral satisfaction by simply letting ii
alone. The laws of nature and those
of finance won't suspend Operation
