A NEW MOUNTAIN CLIMBER.

The horseless carriage. most inter-
esting feature of modern invention, has
been perfected to point where there is
no longer any question as to its practical
bility and usefulness in all kinds Of
weather and over even the roughest of
roads. Economy and motive power
that may be depended upon and readily
renewed are the essentials in properly
equipped automobile.
The feats that have been accomplished
by the little steam carriages, or locomo-
biles, showing endurance and reliability
under the most trying circumstances, are
almost beyond comprehension. One of
the most thrilling escapades Of a locomo-
bile was the ascent of Pixies Peak, Au-
gust IA, by two tried Westerners from
Denver The run of eighty-six miles
from Denver to the foot of the noun
tain, the ascent through wind, rain and
snow, over bowlders and around curves
three and four thosuand feet above a
sheer drop, to a height of 14.147 feet, and
the descent were made in one day.
The locomobile used was of the ordi-
nary type seen in the streets daily, and
most reSarkable and probably lucky
part of the Pike Peaks run was that rot
five minutes of the time was taken for
repairs of any sort. Only bolt for one
of the front springs broke, and in the
daredevil descent of seventeen miles,
part of the way in the dark, it seams
providential that the men were not
hurled to their death before they reached
the bottom, and pure luck that their
machine held out through such an en-
durance test.
The men were simply tired out from
holding themselves in their seats, and
put the machine through regardless of the
danger of smashup.
A iocomobie has descended Mount
Washington. In the recent endurance
run from New York to Buffalo the loco
mobile was the first steam carriage to
reach Rochester in the last days run.
1t was machine of four horsepower.
1t is a mistake to presume that only
the wealthy own locomobiles, for the
majority of those in use were sold to
people i'll moderate circumstances for
practical purposes rather than purely for
pleasure. The mechanism of a ocomo-
bile is simple and durable There is a
use for every bolt, but there are no
superfluous parts. An extra supply of
gasoline for fuel is easily carried, and
water is the only other thing needed.
The sun., 1901-10-09

grades are more popular than they have
been. During the hard times of 1895
and 1896 the demand OF dealers was all
for cheap grades and pressure was
brought to bear upon manufacturers to
supply an inferior instrument under a
different name to satisfy the popular
requirement. We did not yield to this
temptation, and now we and others who
maintained high business ideal are
profiting by the turn in sentiment. The
highest toned piano is none too good for
most people nowadays.
The appearance of an instrument is
also matter of Importance with buy
ers. Fifteen or twenty years ago an
ebony piano was the correct thing. Now
people seek a piano which is in har-
mony with the other furnishings of their
parlors. Beautiful effects in natural
woods are sought. Ordinary mahogany
and rosewoods do not satisfy. The most
popular OF our more expensive makes
are of butternut, birch, burl and laurel
wood. The purchase of parlor grand
piano was formerly rare occurrence by
people of ample means. Now a great
many people are buying parlor grands.
IL the education of the public in art
and harmony is desirable thing the
piano manufacturers are doing some
thing toward advancing civilization in
this country and the progress Of the past
two or three years has been phenomenal

PIANO SALES INCREASING.

Members of the piano firm of Halle
ton Bros. report that SO far as their own
business is concerned, they have sold
more pianos thus far this year than dur
ing the corresponding period Of any year
since their organization in 1S49 The
fact that from the first they determined
to make none but strictly first-class
pianos. They have. in pursuance of this
policy, employed only the most skillfui
workmen and the best materials, regard
less of cost.
The result of this policy is seen in the
popularity of the Hazelton pianos, which
are distributed all over this country, and
are even to be found in some of tue
salons of Paris.
