KkABE PIANOS.

Almost three quarters OF century
have passed since William Knabe l.

Of piano making. The Knabe has set
the pace in all things that 20 toward
making the perfect piano. From
1887 when the 10th century piano was
but In its infancy, the Knabe piano
has gone forward, sacrificing mere
commercialism to artistic endeavor
and excellence-not content with do
ing we'll, but intent on doing things
best. The position which the Knabe
piano occupies in the beginning Of the
goth century shows that these efforts
toward continual betteImeDt have met
with deserved success
They were the best pianos in the
world 81 years ago. They are the best
in the world today. They cost much
more than other pianos, bot worth 1t.

ARMY MANEUVERS.
Review at Wellington Witnessed by
Many-Soldiers Used Up.


Corps Headquarters, Gainesville,
Va, Sept. 10.-Half of the militiamen
who participated in the four days OF
| maneuvering were too badly used up
to participate in the review at Willing.
ton today. The review closed the an,
nual army maneuvers for the Atlantic
division, the reviewing officer being
Lieutenant General Adjutant Chaffee,
of the general staff. General Chaffee,
accompanied by Inspector General Bur.
ton, arrived at corps headquarters
from Washington at II o'clock The
start was made for the review at II: 80.
The review was witnessed by the
largest number of people which has
been attracted to the maneuvers'
zone. Extra and special trains were
run from Washington and south over
the Southern railway.
Immediately after the review the
trains we're supplied at Wellington
and about 5000 militiamen from the
eastern states, including the Maine
and Massachusetts regiments, were en-.
trained and started on their homeward
journey.
After four days of actual campaign.
ing, marching along dusty roads, sleep.
ing in the field, fording streams and
fighting the enemy, the ranks of the
regulars and militiamen both Blue and
Brown looked decidedly like veterans.
There was nothing like mutiny or dis
satisfaction among the men who were
excused from the parade In some
cases whole regiments were declared
unfit for the march to the reviewing
ground by the medical officers In
charge. TIL etrouble in almost every
case was sore feet The Virginia
roads are exceedingly stony and the
marching which was of an exceedingly
strenuous and continuous character,
has been executed with accoutrements
which weighted the men down.
This work is considered one of the
great advantages of the maneuvers.
1t teaches the national guard of states
what actual warfare is, including the
hardships Of campaigning. 1t is be-
lieved that those who have proved in
capable Of sustaining the strain and
enduring the hard work entailed will
drop out of the guard on their return
and their places will be taken by
others. This, it is believed, will tend
to strengthen the organization.

PORT ARTHUR SITUATION.
Interesting Accounts of Conditions in
Beseued Fortress.

Besieged Fortress.
st. Petersburg, Sept. 10.-6:10 a. m.
-Worl,men attached to the st. Peters.
burg torpedo factory have returned
from Port Arthur, where they were de.
tailed some time ago. Tney left the
besieged fortress Aug. 2, and give long,
interesting accounts Of the conditions.
The defenses, they assert, were largely
augmented BY the discovery of a Chi
nese store of artillery 13 miles from
the fortress. 1t consisted of 300
Krupp guns Of large caliber, with from
300 to 5000 rounds Of ammunition
for each piece. The guns and am
munition were in perfect condition.
The Japanese, it is related, made
arrangements with residents of the
suburban Chinese village to furnish
information from the fortress by the
means Of pigeon post The plan was
divulged by Cinnamon, and the whole
population, 40 villagers, were executed.
Conspicuous gaIlantry was displayed
were
cut off in the hills by the Japanese
and were isolated two days. Their
ammunition soon ran out. Stones and
old powders were hurled at the heads
Of the attackers. Finally several old
cannon were dismounted and rolled
down the hills on the heads of the
attacking column. Ultimately 40 sail
ors out of 800 escaped.
The returned workmen say that rid.
ing in cabs was an almost prohibitive
luxury, the smallest drosky fare being
81. There are 800 cabmen in Port
Arthur. The commandant forces them
to remain back of the firing line dur
ing actions and transport the wounded
free of charge.

INSECTS HURT COTTON.
Farmers Near Columbus Complain Of
lnroaods of Pests.

Columbus, Ca, Sept. 10.-If the cot.
ton yield in this section of Georgia
and Alabama Is not cut off quite con-
siderably it won't be the fault of va.
rious and divers industrious insects
and worms. Every day farmers are
in the city from nearby points In the
two states bringing samples of cotton
ruined by flies, bugs, sharpshooters
and caterpillars.
The ravages of the caterpillars are
confined to a few farms below the
city. The most common complaint
is from kind of fly which stings the
cotton bolls. with the result that they
blacken and die, the decay spreading
from one small spot. A T. Slaughter,
of Harris county, brought to town cot
ton plants from his country infested
in the same manner. Joseph G. Hous-
ton, of Smiths Station, Ala brought
in bolls which he thought were in.
tested with sharpshooters.
