RELIABILITY VS.. CHANCE.

When buying a piano or an organ
it would be we'll for the purchaser to
consider carefully the reliability of the
party, or house, he purchases from.
If you buy from a reliable house, you
are protected and if the instrument
they sell you, does not give satisfaction,
you'll find no trouble in adjusting the
matter. If, on the 9th 9r hand, you
buy from travelling commission agents,
who are here today and away tomor-
row, you may find it difficult to find
such persons, should the piano they
sell you prove defective.
DON'T GIVE LIEN NOTES WHEN
BUYING PIANOS OR ORGANS.
Commission agents demand them to
satisfy the manufacturer, as they are
used as collateral, and must be met at
maturity. After the lien notes are
given, the title to the piano reverts
back to the manufacturer, or holder
of the notes, unless they are paid.
Another point we'll worthy of consid-
Grafton, is the bill of lading. Demand
this before you receive the piano in
your house, and you can see by 1t
whether the piano comes direct from
the factory, and WHEN.
We do not demand NOTES when sell
ling pianos or organs; We have been
doing business in Texas for upwards of
THIRTY-ON years AMI are to be
found always ready and willing to
grant extensions, when a reasonable
excuse is offered, and to protect you
against any defects that may arise in
any instrument that we ell you, there
fore giving you the foregoing benefits
as well as your choice in TEN different
makes of pianos in different woods and
on easy payments, we claim your PA
TRONAGE. N-u

North Alamo street yesterday and
charged with being drunk and disor-

This morning some evidence was ia

had broken a window glass in the tai

she was in an intoxicated state.
The case was continued until Tues
day to allow the defendant to secure

LEAD MINE CHANGES.

St. Louis, May 1.-The La Mott lead
mining claim in southeast Missouri has
been transferred by r. Hazard, of
New York, to S. p. Leathe, of this city
for a cash consideration of s1,S0O,OOO.
The mine is situated in Francis and
Madison counties and covers several
hundred acres. 1t is the intention of
the purchaser to work the property on
a more extensive scale. The present
force of three hundred men will be
nearly doubled. The lead region is
pronounced one of the most profitable
in America.

Told you about those BronchOs and
your field glass on that herd. Sam
Taub was a picture of despair as he
sat on the visitors bench, watching
the little white balls sailing through
the deep blue sky, dispatched from the
Bronchos' bats. "Gitatem" was the
visitors war cry, but the procedure of
their gait was Increasingly embarras-
sing for a Houston spectator to gaze
upon. Mr.. Mccain, who valves all
relationship to the notorious Celt who
was the cause of the downfall of the
we'll known Dan McGinty, was one of
the leaders of the opposing forces, and
his solicitation to play hard" were
utterly ignored. They were only over
taken from a voice from the outfield
to "Gitatem." Everytime this voice
arose there was a crash and the Buff
falos turned to see the little ball fly.
1t was a hard day for Glenn Kimerer.
The Lincoln lad, who once came within
an ace of being a BrOncho, was a bad
boy. That is, he wanted to be, but he
had to be good to those Bronchos of
ours. Well, he did give five gifts, and
everyone was just as good as hit.
Kimerer is a good pitcher, but the
BrOnchOs have just patched up little
family affair, and he was called into
requisitiOn in order to celebrate the
event more fittingly. 1t couldn't have
been more appropriate. 1t was in the
fourth inning, and there were pair
of BrOnchos on the bases, anxious to
come home. There was nobody there
to fetch them but Big Mike O'COnnOr.
The broth of a boy stood at the plate,
and mind We, there were two out Mike
picked out a nice easy one, and gently
pushed his bat against it. 1t looked
as if the ball was going upto meet
the airship. Tom Turner turned his
heels to the crowd, but a twelve-foot
fence was there to stop him, and the
sphereoid went on unmolested, while
Mike and the two Bronchos trotted
home. The scene that ensued would
make the animated pictures look slow.
Mike had won the day, and somebody
asked: rs that the man they wanted
to release?" 1t was no time for bus
mess. 1t was baseball, and it was the
real thing.
When Mike first appeared on the
field he was received with loud ap-
plause as that accorded a returning
hero. 1t showed that he is the crank's
idol on the ballfield, and they wouldn't
have anybody else tamper with the
Bronchos. 1t was reported yesterday
afternoon before the game that
compromise had been effected. 1t was
good news and the cranks told their
friends to go to the game, as Mike
would play.
