The high wind on Sunday afternoon ground
ed one OF the wires which furnish Bel Air
with electric light with the consequence that
the town was enshrouded in darkness until
the fault was traced and the remedy applied.
This was done about seven O'Clock and those
religiously inclined were enabled to attend
church. The darkness which prevailed in
town was of the deepest nature possible to
conceive, and the turning on of the lights
was gladly welcomed.

ing OF buying piano, We unhesitatingly adj
wise them to get Knabe The firm If vii
liam knahe & Co. was founded in 1897 and
the business is now in the hands of the third
generation OF the fanny. Through all the
intervening Years, since the founder Of the
first firm began to make pianos, its unswerv-
ing aim has been the production of the hig hest
type of the instrument, regardless of expense,
advantage being taken OF all the new discoy-
cries of practical value in the science Of
acoustics, the result being that the Knabe
piano stands today without a rival In the
world. This fact is attested by the unqualified
endorsement Of the most famous musicians
Every part of these splendid planes is the
product Of thought, care and skill, and any
lady who is the happy possessor of Kuabe
has an instrument of which she may well be
proud. Besides their superb musical qualities
the excellence of their construction is a guar
tee that they will last au ordinary lifetime,
and then be valuable enough to be reconstruct
ed or given in exchange as part pay for a new
one. Therefore, an Investment in a Knabe
piano is judicious from every point of view
The large warerooms of the firms at % and
"A E. Baltimore street, Baltimore, are filled
with instrument of rare beauty, ouly waiting
for practical touch TO burst into delicious
harmony. These fine instruments, too, are
within the reach of most persons and liberal
allowance is made for Old pianos taken in ex-
change for new ONES. Dou't buy piano until
you try the knabe. You will find this firm
most accommodating and courteous, and
visit to their establishment is a treat to any
