THE OLD SQUARE PIANOS.
What Becomes of the Instruments
Now out of style.

II is always with the feeling OF locking
upon dear. but long-lost friend that one
comes across one OF the old-fashioned
square pianos nowadays. There arc plen-
ty o. them, even in New York City. where.
il anywhere. people are supposed to keep
up to date.
Probably half the people in New York
having pianos have the oldfashioned
square" says 4 piano man. 1t is GER
tain that about half the number Of people
who come to buy have square pianos
which they wish us to take on account
for a new piano.
1T is eighteen or twenty years or more
since the square pianos have been made
but a piano is an expensive instrument,
and people who have them DO not change
frequently. So It is usually when the in
strument is becoming really old or gen
Grafton of young people is growing up in
the family that they decide to exchange
the old square for an upright or possibly
for a grand piano.
Many Of these old square pianos were
extra good ones in their day. and the own
ers cannot understand why we DO not
make liberal allowance for them. Why.
We paid $500 for that piano. woman will
say. As a matter OF fact. they are worth
practically nothing to us, not the value of
the carting often. We do. however. make
some allowance on them. 1t may be $50 or
80, according to the value of the piano
they are purchasing and the amount we
can afford to throw off. You see, this is
letting you into the inside of our business
affairs.
With the pianos themselves we can do
nothing but sell them as they stand. We
are often glad to get s15 for them. There
are people who are glad to pay this some
times, and so we dispose of them.
Most of these old square pianos go to
fhe West. man will come on here, learn
tuning pianos and putting them in order.
He will come to us when he is ready to
start for home and see what arrangements
he Gun make to get a stock of old pianos
We very likely have a number on hand.
Possibly he makes an offer for them |
and we may let him have the lot for 800. |
lie takes them off with him. puts them in |

the West are glad TO buy them on the in |
stailment plJuCr in some other convenient |
way for their daughters. and the buyer IL |

make quite a percentage. If they are good !

paid for them and will do good service |

MIGHT LOOK AT THE NAP.
Foreign Correspo.dent's Deficiency
In Geographical ixnowIedEc

The Berlin correspondent Of the Lon
don Times" informs his newspaper that
the Cape to Cairo line Of the African
rranscontinental Telegraph Company has
5een constructed as far rs Bismarckburg,
Togolard." This may read all right to
snyone who kncvs nothing about the
geography Of Africa, but il he should try
70 illumine the statement by using a good
nap be would begin TO suspect that some
hing was wrong.
The news is about as Ineligible as
hough it read: THE telegraph line be-
tween Chicago and st. Louis has been
extended as far rs Portland. Ore" The
route of the Cape TO Cairo telegraph line

solsnd is a German possession on the
west coast Bismarckburc being n settle

Such blundeTs are quite excusable as
long as Africa is comparatively little
known, but some people continue to per-
petrate them when they should know bet
ter. A school geography used in Swltzer-
land contained this statement a while
ago. and perhaps 1t does yet:

will soon result in establishing their
raising as one Of the important live stock

his bedroom on the third floor. few
moments later his son, Jehn, fifteen years
old, heard the report of pistol.
Running upstairs, he found his father
sitting in a rocking chair holding a 81
calibre revolver in his right hand. while
the blood poured down his cheek from 2
bullet hole in the side of his head DR..

An AbominabIe Evil.

It is about time that steps should be
taken to suppress --mashers" in this
city They are the evilest things that
walk the streets. Their number has
multiplied enormously of late years.
They have become so bold that no wO-
man walking alone is sure of escaping
their insults. They wear good clothes:
they have an outward appearance OF
deceny, and they presume on this to
speak to any woman who attracts
them.
These despicabIe '+mashers'' are TO be
always seen in certain places. They
have driven ladies from Smithsonian
Park Things have come to a pass when
a gentIewonan unattended will not 20
there because she knows that these fel-
lows are likely to annoy her.
When the gallant General Washing
ton and the suave L'Enfant planned
this city, they intended that the Mall
as they called it, should be a counter
part of London's Rotten Row, which
by the way, is a corruption Of Route
du Roi-the Kings Way In part their
plan has been carried out. The Smith
sOnian Park is a sort Of Rotten Row.
It is a disgrace to the city that loaf
ers should drive ladies out Of this park
It is g shameful state Of affairs that a
woman may not stroll through the
Mall or around the Monument without
fear of being moIested-
There is not anything bad enough for
these mashers. Arrest and a fine Is
too feeble q punishment They should
be dubbed into behaving themselves.
When the daughters of Washington
cannot go forth 10 enjoy the sunshine
and the beauty Of the city and be as
safe from insult as in their own homes,
it Is time for drastic measures.
