Probably we should say extraordi-
nary piano buying!-
However, it makes little difference
whether we say extraordinary piano
selling or extraordinary piano buying
either one is true of this great sale
of Worlds Fair pianos, purchased at
great discount, now being cleared out
at almost half customary prices.
The large number of pianos being
sold daily concerns the public only
in so far as being the best of evil
dence that this is the piano oppor-
tunity of lifetime, not alone from
the great money-saving standpoint,
but it presents a chance to get one
of the good, high-class makes, doubt
less your first choice, on extremely
easy terms, If desired, at no advance
in price above our plainly marked
sale prices.
No pike" pianos here We rented
no pianos there. nor did we purchase
any pianos from there.
1t will take at least five figures (say
$4,000 to $2O,000) TO represent the
general saving to the piano-buying
public of St. Louis occasioned by this
great sale. The individual saving of
each purchaser is fully S100 to $3.50,
and is largely the manufacturers
(exhibitorSD loss, of whom We pur-
chased these fine pianos, although,
in order to make this record
breaking sale, we are also sharing
with the public very goodly portion
Of customary business profit
BEST AND MOST RELIABLE
PIANOS.
Practically all the good, old makes
are represented at this sale. A large
majority Of this stock is perfectly
new. Some Of the pianos were slight
ly used or played on at the Exposition
and some were rented to State and
foreign commissioners, but the thor.
ough repolishing we give them easily
restores the original finish.

ciate what this sale means to you.

New York Senator Will To-Day
Introduce Measure to Reduce
Representation.

men.

Washington, Dec. 6.-Senator Thomas c.
Platt of New York will introduce to-mor-
row a bill providing for the reduction Of
the representation Of certain States in
Congress. principally In the South.
Many bills OF this character have been
offered from time to time in one or the
other branches of Congress. but no persist
ent effort has been exefted to pass any
of them.
The measure to be presented by Senator
Platt is said to have originated in the
Republican Club of New York City
Senator PIatt, tomorrow, when he pre-
sents the bill, will call attention to the
fact that it effects the Northern States.
especially Massachusetts,. as well as States
in the South. The Senator will declare
that the measure is nonpartisan.
The bill proposes that the representation
of the States shall be on the basis of the
male voting population, according to the
last official census.
The reduction in Southern solidly Demo-
cratic delegations, should the bill become
a law. is estimated at sixteen members.

Representative Hepburn and practically
all the members of the Interstate and For

Is chairman. and Senator Kttridge Of
South Dakota, returned to washington
yesterday from Panama, where they spent
week. They brought some decided 0ptn-
ions. All are inclined to favor the con-
struction of a sea-level canal. That Is
the end to which Chief Engineer Wallace
is working.
Another. strong opinion held by some
members is that the Canal Commission Is
too large Its full strength Is seven menu
bers. but there are now only six. Colonel
Frank ]. Hecker Of Michigan having re-
Gently resigned.
Members of Congress who have returned
from the isthmus entertain, almost unani-
mously, the Idea that the Canal Commits
sion should be reduced to membership
Of three, or that there be an executive
committee of three with the commission
and that three members be at all times on
the fsthmus.

dent.
The act under which the work Of the
canal construction was placed at the dis
the existing commission OF seven members
was organized, will expire with the Fifty
eighth Congress. There Is accordingly
pressing necessity for canal legislation at
