Great Demonstration Sale.

We don't pretend 10 deny that substan-
tial reductions have been offered by
these people in the prices Of their pianos.

would give YOU a reduction of a clean

POmmer- -Eilers' up-to-date methods are

awakening must come sooner or later
Old ideas. old prejudices, old methods, are
being daily swept aside in every line of

Cial emphasis TO the Western Piano Busi-

in under-price selling OF reliable pianos

Those who defend coffee often say 1t is only the
cheap grades that hurt one, but 1t is a fact that
the highest-priced coffee the market Is lust as
injurious TO those with whom coffee acts as a
poison a cheap grade.
More than 20 years ago l became convinced

Permission Not Granted

1t is understood in local railroad circles
that as yet the Gould interests have failed
to obtain permission to span the Chesa-
peake and Ohio canal at seven different
points between Cumberland and dam No.
Of that waterway. by which means 1t is
purposed to link the Western Maryland
railroad and the West Virginia Central
railroad at Cherry Run, Notwithstanding
the rumors to the contrary.
1t is true that the state board of public
works of Maryland at a recent session ac-
cepted the plans of the Western Maryland
railroad for the bridging of the canal, but
it is pointed out that the board has no au-
thority whatever to grant permission for
such work. The Endorsement of the board,
1t Is conceded, is significant and is often
considered as a forerunner Of permission
by the courts. AS yet. 1t is stated, the
Gould interests have failed to obtain that
permission, which Is SO essential as part
Of Mr.. Goulds mammoth project.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
ANNAPOLIS. Nd, September 11.-Alberi
V. Shipley, twenty eight years of age, died
here today of cancer. For several years he
had been employed as brakeman on the
Short Line railroad.
Eleven novtiates are now attached to the
Redemptorist College at st. Mary's Church
On completing the course here they will
attend the school for priests at Northeast
Pennsylvania.
Official notice was served on Mrs. Kealey
today that she must vacate the house on
government property, which she has &C.
cupied for several months, despite the eff
forts of the United States government to
dispossess her. When the orderly notified
Mrs. Kealey she must move she abused
him, calling him a BLACKBOARD and threat
ening to throw water on him. The govern
ment now needs the ground on which the
house stands. as it is on the site for the
officers quarters, the foundations for
which are now being dug. 1t is now impera-
tive for her to vacate the premises and eff
forts will be taken to dispossess her. Great
sympathy is expressed for the woman. who
entertains the hallucination that the house
is hers, Notwithstanding the government
has purchased the property.
