A BIG UNDERTAKING.
Yet Perfectly Feasible When Fully
Considered.

&OHSlttGEeu
The largest display and most varied
assortment of fine pianos ever seen in
this city will be shown tomorrow morn
ing at the Kohler & Chase Music Store
721 K street. 1t will embrace the
world-renowned ''Knabe'' the now
famous ''KimbalI," and the match
less Decker Eros" makes, be-
sides the Fischer 'Ivers & Pond, .
Harrington, "Kohler e Chase, .
sTrowbridge'' Florence and other
pianos in cases of the various fancy
woods known only in high-grade, up
to-date piano building Six of the pi-
amos in the exhibit at the State Fair by
/ the Kohler & Chase Music House, which
I carried off everything in the way of
medals and prizes are also included in
the lot.
But the most striking feature in con-
nection With this beautiful array of
pianos is that every one Of these fifty
brand new pianos and organs is to be
disposed of to retail purchasers inside
of the next ten days, an undertaking
which would appear utterly impossible
to accomplish We're it not for the aston
ishingly low figures, and, again, the most
easy terms of payment at which each
and every instrument is to be offered
for sale
Full particulars Of this special sale,
together with the reasons which have
made this move necessary, will be pub
ished in tomorrow mornings paper.
One carload of Instruments arrived
here yesterday, and more are due here
this morning. 1t will take all of to-day
to get matters in shape, and the sale will
therefore not begin until the morning
/ Of October 1st.
The prices at which these pianos are
to be offered win be the lowest ever
made anywhere on pianos and organs
of the same grade and quality. and as
musical instruments are now no longer
considered a luxury, but have become
more and more an article of necessity
in every well-appointed home it is rea-
sonable to predict that among the 10
eco homes in Sacramento and vicinity
there are at least fifty families who are
IL need Of q plano or an organ, and are
able TO take advantage of the unprece-
dented opportunity here. presented. es-
pecialls' as every instrument is to be for
sale at actual cash cost on easy terms of
payments.
AS stated before. every piano and or
gan is strictly brand new. and all Of
them are we'll known, strictly reliable
makes. some Of which have been hand
led by this house for over a quarter of
a century. An unconditional FIVE years
guarantee viii accompany each instru-
ment sold which warranty will be duly
ceuntersigned by the firm of KohIer &

An Opportunity to See Good Play

Realizing that with the approach of
the wet season all local charitable in

upon them for relief of suffering hui

that maintain organization-not for
gain but for love Of the sport-have
resolved to give a benefit match game
at Snowflake Park next Sunday, the en-
tire proceeds to be divided, share and
share alike. between the Orphan Asy-
harn. the Foundlings' Home and the
Sisters Hospital
The clubs are the old Lea<ers and the
Peerless. and the game viii be under
the immediate direction OF Managers
Mullenny and Elliott Of the two clubs.
Everything save only the cost of the
balls has been donated. The Park
manager, Mr. Kripp. donates the use
of the grounds, and members of the
clubs viii serve at the gates and as
ushers and roustabouts, While printers
have offered 10 supply the tickets, and
the city press has contributed its best
efforts to advertise the benefit.
Thus it viii be clear benefit, every
cent. save d few dimes. that comes in
at the gate and for the sale of outside
tickets. will go to the aid Of the three
institutions named. As illustrating
the spirit that animates the movers Of
the affair it is to. be said that they
have not acted at the suggestion OF
either of the institutions, and probably
the directors viii know nothing of it
until they read the announcements.
That the public may have confidence
in the financial management, that every
cent will go to help the poor and snf-
fering, Managers Mullenny and Elliott
have requested the business managers
of the city papers to act as financial
committee to see that every dime that
comes in goes into the fund, and to di-
vide it according to the scheme outlin-
ed. The press business managers have
consented to undertake the task, ana
consequently for the Record Union"
General T. w. Sheehan will act.
The free list is to be suspended to
the last man on this occasion. Not
soul will be admitted free; even the
playera and club members must put
UP their coin if they get in, unless they
hop the fence, in which case they and
all parties attempting that trick will
wish they had not. The game will be
called at o'clock sharp time.
The mines of each club have gone into
active training, and are working off
much surplus flesh to get down to bone
and senew, each having made solemn
resolution to wipe the earth with its
opponent 1t is to be a fair, square
game, and both club managers say that
there will be put UP a thoroughly good
game. one that viii astonish the ma
tives. and be worth coming many
mile to see.

money to enable them to reach the

OF the party described the condition of
those whom they left in Liberia as be-
ing most pitiable. They say the land
promised them by the Liberian agents
in the United States turned out to be ID.
solutely no good. They assert that
more than half the Labrador's party
are dead and that the rest of them are
trying to reach the United States. The

that the Liberian government did moth,

republic of Liberia is most unhealthy.
