This Movement.-Mr. Hy Eilers,
President of This Immense Concern

ments.

With the approach of the Lewis and

from the East are coming to see us,

Eilers piano house, ever on the alert,
and always to be found at the head of
the procession, are preparing for the
increased demand for pianos that will
naturally arise from the influx of emf
grafton, have placed orders with the
leading factories of the East for instru-
ments that deligh and astonish even
the manufacturers, who marvel at the
immensity of this Western piano house.
1t is estimated that the shipment of
pianos, Aealon Pianos, orehestrettes,
electric pianos, pipe organs and piSn-
olas to supply their large stores at San
Francisco, Oakland and Stockton, Cali
/ fornia; Seattle and Spokane. Wash;
Boise, Idaho, and Portland, will aver
age carload every other day, more
than $50 ears annually, and bring to
this country over 5000 instruments to
supply their trade for this year. Is 1t
any wonder that they undersell all com
petitors, when you compare their ca
lpacity for buying with dealers who only
buy and sell a limited number Of pianos
each year. 1t is the Eilers Piano House
that has caused such n commotion II

ing all the factors in n novel of this
characte' in such wise tina: they shall
work harmonious'y together toward a
common end is an art by itself, and
even the writer who is born with it is
apt TO need time in order to use it to
good purpose. 1t is especially interest

Peck showing in her first book. Hester

the manipulation of this art. She tells
IA tale OF Revolutionary days in tho
Hampshire Grants. and. in the telling
Of it. she draws again and again upon
recorded history; but the salient merit
of her work resides in it's freedom from
that air Of constraint and artifice which
we encounter in so many books of tho
sort. If Ethan Allen is put through his

FORClBLE COLLECTION OF INTER.

When the Hon. Frank Plumey was
selected as arbitcr to adjust the claims
Of certain French citizens against Vcnez-
uela and sessions were held in North
field considerable comment was made on
the fact that representatives of the two
nations concerned should come to Ver-
mont. An interesting sequel to that
event is discussed by the Washington
Post as follows:
| In recent lecture. or talk, to the stu
dents Of Dartmouth College. Mr. Frank
Plumlcy. of Northicd. VT. who was one
of the Judges of the first arbitration
commission TO hear the claims of France

company. but if were the United States
govcrnment would scan very closely the
companv's claim before engaging in any
alteration with Venezuela. During the
lsittings OF the commission of which

Steamship company. whose accounts were
included in the American protocol, were
|carefully examined and the company got
jal it deserved when it was awarded $780,
600 of the 100000 which it demanded
This incident is fair example of the at
tude OF American companies toward Ven
ezucla Americans go there for the pur-
pose of exploitation and of getting rich
quickly The result is that Venezuela
has very bad opinion of the United

The Boston Advertiser speaks of Mr..
plumley as IAN intense American" Com

are worthy of and will command Eenci..

This Venezuelan nfelcity is an i'm

governments Of certain European coun-
tries are believed to be using this means
of getting rid OF their undesirable poor,
as evidence Of this In to be found in the
fact that men and women of the same
class who arrived on our shores last
year with the aid of funds furnished by
charitable institutions and immigration
societies closely identified with tho locnl
national government are again making
their appearance. Not only this, but they
are being trained to answer the qucs-
lions Of the inspectors In a far more ef-
fectivc manner than the poor who pre-
cedcd them. SO that 1t 10 a difficult mat
tations.
In this connection II IL worthy OF note
that during the month Of March Aus
tria and Hungary sent no less than 40,
WO men and women to this country,
nearly one third Of tho number of i'm
migrants from all countries This was
an increase OI lOWW CNeT tHe
Of aliens coming from those two coum-

BITTERNESS BETWEEN FRANCE
AND JAPAN.

The message sent out from Toxic
and Paris are sufficient of themselves
to Indicate the strength of the bitter
ness which has resulted from the ac-
ton of the French colonial authori-
ties in extending aid and comfort to
the Russian fleet. and the consequent
protests of the Japanese government.
That the situation is of very grave
nature is evident from the fact that
the London Times has called upon the
French government to exercise great
cr care in enforcing neutrality. and
has warned the British authorities
that they are dangerously near the
point where they will be compelled to
act in accordance with the terms of
their alliance with Japan.
Russia has no base of naval opera
tions in the Pacific south of japan.
and if now it should transpirc that her
fleets were able to unite and to pre-
pare in the way of recoaling and the
ccssful battle with tho enemy through
the connivancc of the French colonial
authorities, it follows as matter Of
course that the Japs would have album
dant reason for holding the Paris gov
eminent responsible for her discom-
future. The Importance of that aid can
| be seen from the fact that n victory
for the Russian fleet at this time
would give it the command OF the
sition in Manchuria prccarious in the
extreme, for his line of comnunica
tons with the island empire would be
cut off.
! 1t is natural that the Russians should
be seriously disturbed over the posi-
bilty of trouble between France and
japan |, was for the very purpose
Of preventing "A third power from aid
ing Russia that Japan was anxious 10
form an alliance with Great Britain
and nothing could be more reasonable
than that Japan should call upon her
ally to act, in case 1t is shown tina,
French support resulted in breaking
down her naval supremacy in the Fal
East. In view OF Englands recent evil
dent attempts to strengthen her un.
Outstanding with France the situa.
ton is evidently embarrassing for tho
British government while the Ger.
mans do not attempt to conceal the
keen satisfaction which they feel over
the possibilities OF the gravcst compli.
neutrality.
