A MUSICAL WONDER.
The Pianola, One of the Greatest Inventions
of the Age, now on Exhibition.

The Pianola, One of the Greatest Inventions
of the Age, now Exhibition.
There have been not few attempts
/ to produce in times past mechanical
| piano-playing mechanism, and in two
| or three instances a considerable
measure of success was obtained, but
these devices never attained public en-
! dorsement because they invariably
Hacked some essential element neces-
sary to perfection. They were ingen-
ious and produced results; they were
not perfect, and therefore did not bring
the best results.
| A perfect mechanical piano-playing
instrument has been perfected and is
| now On the market 1t is the Pianola,
and can be seen, heard and examined
at the music parlors of the F. w.
Banner Company, No. 1910 Market
! street 1t is well and comprehensively
| described as an instrument by which
| another instrument can be played. And
mark the assertion that the word
! played is used advisedly. There is
none of the machine-like music insep-
arabic from mechanical contrivances,
| for such inventions work like any
other bit of machinery, and grind out
tunes as a lathe does steel turnings,
at SO many revolutions minute. The
| Pianola is not that sort of instrument,
but with it the most inexperienced per-
son-one even who has never taken a
music lesson-can reproduce upon the
ordinary piano the most difficult COM
positions of the great composers, with
absolute accuracy of tempo and express
sion, and with a little experience even
the professional pianist, if out of sight
of the performer, can not decide
whether or not he is listening to some
gifted virtuoso.
These statements may appear strong.
They are absolutely correct The re-
suits attained are marvellous, and the
Pianola has jumped at once into
world-fame as embodying something
frequent experiments had apparently
placed in the realms of impossibility.
1t is not only a perfect means of at
tanning perfection in piano playing, but
is in itself a handsome instrument 1t Is
an ornament to any apartment. 1t is
not attached to the piano, but can be
adjusted in moment and as quickly
removed to another part of the room.
1t requires neither tuning, attention or
repairs, and is always ready for use.
Commencing next Friday afternoon
a Pianola recital will be given every
Friday afternoon at the music parlors
of the F. w. Banner Company, abso-
lutely free, and all interested are in
vited and urged to be present. The in
strument can be examined and heard,
however, at any time during business
hours.

NAY AGAIN MAKE NAILS
A Report That the Laughlin Factory
VIII Start
AFTER AN IDLENESS OF SEVERAL
YEARS-WHEN THE PLAN WILL
BE. CARRIED OUT is YET IN
CERTAIN-STOCK QUOTATIONS
OF YESTERDAY AND FOR THE
WEEK.

Something which will be received
with much interest by the people OF
this vicinity, and especially of Martin S
Ferry, is the fact that the Laughlin
Nail Company of that place are SER
iously considering the matter OF start
ing UP the mills again in the manufac-
ture of the iron nail.
Just how soon the plans of the COM
pany will mature is something that
cannot be stated positively, but it is
known that they already have asked
estimates on work of fitting the plant
properly for the manufacture of the
nails. Nothing could be learned last
evening from the company, but what
gives the foregoing ground for foun-
dation is the fact that the company has
notified the tin combine which controls
the tin mill, that they want the use OF
their Office, and in view Of this the tin
mill will have an Office of their own
built closer to the mill.
An agent of the firm was in town
yesterday comforting with the nail
company and getting plans and speei-
fications for the purpose Of bidding on
the work to be done.
The resumption of this plant after an
idleness of several years would add a
great deal to the industrial end of the
community, as it will employ a large
number of men and boys if running in
full.

A Martins Ferry Crowd Nibbled at the Bait
of Eakir


of q Fakir.
A street faI1ir created no little excite
ment in Martins Ferry last night. He
worked an old, old game, but the peo-
pie nibbled at his attractive bait, and
he landed the suckers. He took the
precaution to secure license, and
somehow the authorities could not fig
ure out that he had violated any city
or State law, and he left the commune
ity under their protection.
The fakir opened up case Of jewel
ry, and sang his sweetly seductive
song. He was merely introducing the
wares for large manufacturing con-
Germ. and any person who would buy
pair of cuff buttons, which were first
offered, would receive cash present in
return. Several sales were made, In
Guiding one TO the inevitable cop
per" Each purchaser gave up %
cents, and got so centst In return.
Then the glib tongued fakir made cap
ital out of his generosity.
1t apparently did not strike the
crowd as strange that man
would give something for moth
ing. Possibly he was looked
upon as second Coal Oh
Johnny" At any rate, the fakir next
offered watch chains at dollar each.
BY this time his chin music had Sven
galized the crowd, and several bought
from three to four dollars worth OF the
chains, expecting to get back twice
no amount thoy invested.
The gullibility of the dear public is
truly amazing!
When the fakir had raked in about
forty hard-earned Martins Ferry dol
lars, he announced that he was out OF
chains, and thanked his patrons.
When the "where-am-I-at' expression
wore off, there were threatening dem
onstrations on the part Of the jewelry
buyers. A crowd of 200 men anG
boys followed the fakir about the
streets. A police officer was attract
ed. and placed the man on street car.
He got out Of the city uninJured.
