as the simpler forms of music
The instrument is an Aeolian Grand.
a little larger than the largest size up
right piano, from which it can scarcely
be distinguished without close examin-
alton. The case is a rich solid ma
hogany, in Corinthian style, and is a
beautiful example of the builders art.
In tone, this instrument deserves the
highest praise, and will receive it from
the best judges of instrumental music.
All the orchestral effects are possible,
as well as those of the grand organ and
the more simple instruments of the or
gan group, and the whole range of in
struments is likewise covered, from the
softest flaggeolet to the trombone.
Upon this instrument any result is pos
sible, from a simple solo to a repro
duction of a full military band, and
church orchestral music, as we'll as solo
compositions. are most effectively
handled. Inspection and trial of this
instrument is invited by the Banner

and enthusiasts.

MISS NAMES DEAD.
Passed Away Yesterday from a Complica
ton of Diseases

Miss Cornelia Hanes, daughter of the
late Clark Hanes, died yesterday after
noon at the City Hospital, where she
had been taken about ten days ago.
She underwent very severe surgical
operation, which at first was thought
to be successful, but turned out to the
contrary. The ordeal proved too hard
for her after the first week, and she
grew much worse the past two days.
until her death came yesterday after
noon at half-past two o'clock.
The deceased had been i'll nearly a
year, and had been confined to her bed
several months. The direct cause of
her death, however. was a complication
of diseases. and was no surprise to her
friends. who were aware of her condi-
ton. The funeral arrangements have
not been made as yet. but it will likely
be some time Thursday. from her late
home, No. I'll Market street. She
leaves two sisters and two brothers to
mourn her loss.

ycr A SURPRISE.

our recollection IS that the senatorial
resolution adopted by the Roanoke con-
ventlon was not tho result Of momentary
enthusiasm. bat thu; II was offered IN the
Committee on Resolutions. where one OF
more short speeches were made IN us Ia
vor. and was then adopted as part OF
the committees report Senator Dohle'
was the chairman or that committee
but. OF course. was Ia no wise responsible
for the resolution when he came to SUD
NIT its report next day he read every
thing except that one resolution ii's
modesty forbade him 10 read 1t. and ac-
cordingiy. It was read by Colonel John
Bell Bigger.
The Dispatch will cheerfully accept the
judgment Of the state Democratic Com
mi,tee as 10 whether It would be for the
best interest Of our party TO hold a con-
vention TO consider matters connected
with the nomination and election of SEN
ators. but we do hope 1t will not take the
ground that n nomination by a convention
would be violative of any policy adopted
by the Roanoke convention. See what the
Roanoke convention put upon record as
the Judgment Of ia Committee on Reso-
lutions and of itself:
1--WE cordially and heartily endorse the
course of our beloved and distinguished
senator. John w. Daniel. in the United
States Senate, AND WILL OPPOSE ANY
CANDIDATE FOR THE LEGlSLA-
TURE CD AND SENATE OF VIRGINIA
WHO IS NOT IN FAVOR OF HIS NOM
Before seeing n copy OF this resolution
some Of our newspaper friends were of
the opinion that the convention merely
endorsed" Major Daniel. They must see
their error now. A careful reading Of the
resolution shows that II goes much far
Their than a mere endorsement. II made
It impossible for any opponent of Major
Daniels or any person who wished to go
TO the Legislature uncommitted to secure
a Democratic nomination. We do not say
there were any such unfrendly persons;
but the convention evidently thought
there might he some and representing
the Democratic masses. as it did. 1t adopt
ed the positive and decisive course set
forth In the resolution. in everything ex-
oept the name it was a nomination, and
one of the most binding ever adopted by
any convention under any circumstances.
And vet we are now told that the Roa-
noke convention was opposed to choosing
candidates by any other than the old me-
thod!

TOBACCO MEN TO ORGANIZE.
National Association VIII lie Form
ed Next Week.
CBaltimore American.)

A. meeting believed 10 be Of vital i'm
portance to the extensive tobacco trade
interests OF the country, and certainly
the most important and representative
gathering of factors Of the industry ever
convened will be held In Philadelphia on
Monday next. The purpose OF the meet
ing is the Organization of a national leaf
tobacco association, embracing manufac-
turers Of tobacco products from all parts
of the country. amalgamated as tobacco
boards of trade. Recent events, say its
promoters have demonstrated the neces-
sity Of some such organization If the in
terestS of the trade are 10 be protected.
BaltimOre's members of the Tobacco
Board of Trade have been energetic adj
vocates of the proposed association of in
terests. President William a. Boyd, Of
the local Tobacco Board Of Trade and
Nice-President Edward Wischmeyer have
been chosen to represent the extensive
tobacco interests Of this city, and will
lend every effort to efGecting the proposed
association.
Some months ago representatives Of the
trade in several cities called upon Com
missioner Of Internal Revenue Wilson
and secured the resentment of an order
made by the former Commissioner. Sena-
tor Scott. and the organization about TO
be formed may be said 10 be the result OF
the success Of this mission
Through the national body the leaf-to-
bacco dealers hope 20 influence legislation
in such way as to benefit trade. one
very important matter which will be
brought to the attention OF the Federal
authorities is the present system Of dock
weights. THE government a present re-
quires importers TO pay tarin duties on
the tobacco brought to this country ac-
cording to the weight at the port OF
entry" said Mr. Boyd when the green
tobacco has stood for some time in the
warehouses the curing results i'm shrink
age of weight of from two to three pounds
to the bale. As tho importers can only sell
by the weight in warehouse. this loss falls
on us, and it amounts TO good deal"

Recently the New York papers publish
cd a statement that President Bryan II.
Smith, Of the Brooklyn Savings Bank,
had delivered an address in which he
said that forgetting all about their de-
posts is an idiosyncrasy peculiar to
woman" In other words, Mr.. Smith
charges the fair sex with carelessness
about their money matters and attributes
TO their poor business capacity the many
dormant accounts which exist in the
banks. A Chicago reporter has under
taken to see If the women of the Windy
City exhibit a like degree Of forgetful-
ness. but his Investigations prove that
they are innocent of the charge. On the
contrary, most of the Chicago bankers
say the women are more careful than the
men.
All of the fnanciers interviewed admit
ted that their institutions have dormant
accounts ranging from 5000 to $4,000
They attribute most OF them to oversights
on the part of the men and not to the
"idiosyncTatic" sex. One gentleman said:
"There is much difference between the
way the men and women do business with
the banks. When a man withdraws his
account he generally has few dollars or
a few cents left, which he never draws
out. A woman. on the contrary, will draw
the balance of her account to cent
Another banker said: women are natu-
rally more frugal and careful Of their
money than men. As a proof Of that as
sertion, will say that during hard-time
period there are ten women depositors at
the savings-bank department to one man,
while in ordinary times the proportion
Is about equal"
To judge by the care and energy with
which the fair sex haunt our remnant
counters. we should say that the Chi
cago and not the New York bankers have
the right theory on this question.

A Georgia judge has Just delivered an
opinion in which he holds that the Sheriff
may levy on a dog as property of value.
The case came up to him on an appeal
from a justice who took the same ground,
but the attorney for the defendant insist
ed that the animal did not belong to the
leviable class Of personally.
The Judge did not take a hasty view of
the matter. but gave the case much
thought. He stated that this was the
first litigation OF the kind which had
arisen in his State though he admitted
that the question as 10 whether dogs are
subjects Of larceny had frequently been
considered.
The learned jurist, in delivering his
opinion. gave an able discourse on dogs
I'm general. and described the part they
have played in literature, fiction, history
mythology. poetry. and art. He referred
to Cerberus as the first of the tail-wag-
glng race. and told his delighted hearers
how that Quadruped had guarded the
gates of hell and ably discharged his du-
ties.
We would not care to venture an opin-
ion as to the position our Virginia courts
would take in this matter. though the
dog has recently received most substan-
tial recognition at the hands of our leeis-
latures. All dogs listed for taxation are
deemed personal property, and may be
the subjects Of larceny. while the noisy
brutes of Richmond, Manchester, Peters
burg, Alexandria. and the counties Of
Dinwiddie and Henrico enjoy like privi-
leges. whether they be 40 listed or not.
And this being the case, we incline to
think the Georgia Judge has set a good
precedent for us TO follow.
