What Is the Right
Price of a Piano ?

A fair profit over and above the
cost of the Piano and the slight
expense of doing an economically
conducted business. Can any
Richmond firm pay dividend on
a 100000 capital? No, not un-
less they charge $500 for 5000
piano. Won't the people find
out this double pressure way of
doing business? Many of the
customers that read the papers
are acting upon our advice and
avoiding the fve-dollar-a-month
two-million-dollar stores. See
Manly b. Ramos about the Piano
before you buy. Don't sign a
paper for one thing and let slick
salesman tell you that you can do
another-that you can pay 50
monthly when you choose, al
though the contract calls for SO.
In the end you may lose the
Piano and possibly your religion,
too. Facts-better Pianos, lower
terms, less talk, more business
than any store Of our size in the
State of Virginia. Pianos sold,
exchanged, tuned, and repaired.
Full guarantee.

most ludicrous antics and brought the
house down with applause. Miss Booker

New Orleans. Sept. IA special
from Meridian, Miss, says: The most
desperate duel in the history Of Merid-
ian occurred this morning beween Jim
Finner and Aieck Webb, his son-in-law.
Both emptied two revolvers. Webb re-

who went in to arrest the men. A fu.
sillade passed between Finner and his
daughter and Webb and his daughters

times. He will die. Finner was hit
three times before he was killed by

him, and this morning ended the trag-
edy. Webb married Finner's daughter,
and bad blood has since existed.

Their hard lives. their liability to Sc.
rious troubles on account of their pecu-
liar organism and their profound igno-
rance concerning themselves, all COM

Is a letter from Mrs. ]. c. Orms, of 22O
Horner St., Johnstown, Pa, which Is
earnest and straight to the point:
DEAR MRS. PlSKHAM.-I feel u nv
duty to tell all suffering women that
think your remedies are wonderful. I
had trouble with my head, dizzy spells
and hot flashes. Feet and hands were
cold, was very nervous, could not sleep

Since taking your remedies am better
every way My head trouble is all
gone, have no pain in ovaries, and am
cured of womb trouble. can eat and

consider your medicine the best to be
had for female troubles"

Strikes at Manila.

Manila, Sept. There have been
several labor strikes here, the demand
being for excessive wages. Because the
American authorities in the early ext
gencies of the situation agreed to ex-
travagant demands of the laborers, it
has been difficult to return to an equi-
table basis. One of.these strikes caused
the suspension of traffic on the tram
ways of Manila for three days.
Copies of the new tariff have been
circulated here, but it has not yet been
enforced. Pending the receipt of in
structions from Washington, it is esti-
mated that under the American tariff
there will be an average reduction of
one-third, as compared with that of
Spain. An insurgent newspaper print
ed in the Spanish language appeared
here today.
