To the majority OF those who attend our
~recitals for the first time the performances
Of the Folian and the Pianola come like a
revelation. They expect to hear a mechanical
instrumental place OF which they are enter
tanned with an artistic rendition Of some Of
the grandest compositions Of master COM
posers, often those which are technically most
difficult. II is here that the great advantage
OF these instruments Is most appreciated. The
1Eolian and the Pidnold knotD no echnica OBJ
stdcles.
They bring within the reach Of all the musi-
cal literature OF the world. from the Fugue Of
Bach to the popular airs Of the day.
Any one can play them. yet they are not auto.
matte. for they do not play themselves. The
expression. tempo and tone-coloring are con-
trolled by the player and vary with his musi-
cianship and taste.
The highest and truest kind OF musical cul.
ture is the result OF wide familiarity with good
music. Through the agency Of an Eolian or
Planola this is always available. You can en-
Joy a program Of your own choosing at any
time. with the added pleasure OF actually pro-
ducing the music yourself.

London, Oct 20, - During the mo-

comes news from the western border
which temporarily shifts the scene OF
chief interest to the beleagured Brit.
ish force ut Kimberley. The sharp
struggle there Tuesday appears to
have been the result OF a sortie with
the view of breaking the Gordon sur.

The British, apparently 500 strong.
met 200 Beers and, according To official
and other accounts, routed them after
severe lighting, In which the armored
trains appear TO have done valuable
service. The Beers were intrenched
strongly seven miles northward, and
the British brilliantly carried the en-.

New York, Oct. es.-'rhe provisions
Of the will OF the late Cornelius Van
derbilt have been made public Ia a
statement by Chauncey NJ. Depew.
Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt inherits tho
larger portion Of his fathers fortune,
aud becomes practically the head OF
the Vanderbilt family.
The will makes no mention of the
marriage OF Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr.,
and Miss Wilson, nor to any quarrel
between the father aud son because Of
the union, but apparently the fathers
displeasure was visited upon his eldest
son he receiving, all told, under the
terms Of the will, but 81, 500, 900, aud
$1,000, 900 OF this to be held In trust by
the executors.
Alfred Gwiune Vanderbilt Is, OF
eonrN" the residuary legatee, aud will
possess fortune OF probably s4O, 900, 900
to $4,000, 900. Gladys, Reginald aud
Gertrude Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney,
VIII receive about 81, 500, 900 each. hut
Mr. Depew states that Alfred will give
from his share enough to Cornelius to
make the latter as rich as his brother
ahd sisters. Alfred will, therefore,
turn over to Cornelius about 81, 200, 900.
