railroads last year when the governor
and the officials Of the various rail-
road companies had conferred to-
gether and the governor had submit
ted his recommendation for no legis-
lation to the general assembly. Mr..
Walker also argued that it was not
right for the legislature to interfere
with the business methods of the rail-
roads in the mileage section of the
bill.
The drummers have what they ask
ed for, that is to say, hereafter; pro-
vided there are no further changes
made in the bill, mileage must be
taken up on the trains instead Of it
being necessary to exchange mileage
for tickets.
Also the Senate stood pat upon
this implied agreement with the rail
roads and have not legislated a 21-2
cent rate.
The Senate adjourned until Tues
day, SIP. m.

Money is Given for "South Caro-
olina."

The House on Saturday passed the
resolution introduced in both houses
providing for $4,000 for a suitable
silver service for the battleship
South Carolina. When the resolu-
tion came up, on motion of Mr..
Rucker, Mr.. Duvall objected to the
appropriation, stating that it carried
,, an appropriation and suggesting that
the money be raised by subscription.
Mr.. M. L. Smith said that he could
not see how the appropriation could
be refused. 1t was customary for
each State to appropriate certain
amounts for suitable services, and he
did not care about the sum named. 1t
was matter Of principle. He urged
the house to give the money demand
ed. The State could not afford to
defeat resolution Of this kind.
The resolution was adopted by a
vote Of 30 to 19.
Other bills passed by the house
were:
Committee on Misunderstanding
to freight rates.
Senator Carpenter-Relating to
cattle diseases.
Senator MISUNDERSTANDING a
State board of embalmers.
Senator Notwithstanding the
insurance laws.
Senator Laney-Regulating the sale
of fertilizer.
A motion was made to table the
bill, which would make it misde-
meanor to publish the name of a
woman upon whom assault was at
tempted.
Mr. Aver, who made the motion.
said it was dangerous step to take
and the liberty of the pross should
not be tampered with. The good
sense and judgment of the newspa-
pers should be trusted.
The bill was passed, however. A
fight was also made on Senator
Clifton's bill extending the liability
of telegraph companies in mental
anguish suits. After considerable
debate the bill passed third reading.
On third reading bills, motion
was made to recommit Senator Wes-
toms bill enlarglng Commissioners
Watson's department, so as to in
clude factory inspection. The motion
was lost, however, by "a vote of 5S
to 26, and the bill was ordered for
enrolment.
The House then adjourned until

The Noted Mileage Bill.
The Senate, by vote of 10 to 20,
refused to indefinitely postpone the
section Of the railroad rate bill refer

the provisions of the bill do not refer
to lines under so miles in length.

NOTICE EXTRAORDINARY

If some our subscribers should fail
to get the BANNER in the near future
it will possibly be due to the fact that
they are in arrears for one year or
more on payments for the same.
"Uncle SAM" which cognomen means
the postoffice department at Washing
ton, will refuse TO carry the papers
for any great length of time to sub
scribers who are more than one year
in arrears with out the payment of
extra postage. We would dislike very
much to ask our subscribers to pay
the postage which our Uncle Samuel
demands, but we are simply unable to
put up the amount at the present
time, and do not care to establish the
precedent of such generosity on our
part TO Uncle Sam or our subscribers.
January J., 1910, is fast approaching
when very large number of subscrip-
tons expire, and now would be an
orportune time TO meet that date with
a dollar or more and satisfy our wants
and the demands of the p o. depart
ment.

THE HENDERSON PIANO
Made Dy Ann Arbor Organ Co., Does Justice To Reputation
Held By University "Bayreuth of America"

Michigan has attained such promi-
hence that about one-fourth of all the
piano factories i'm the western states are
now located in Michigan, where the in
dustry has had a rapid development,
but nowhere greater than in Ann
Arbor, the home of the Henderson
piano. Nor is this to be wondered at
Time was, not many years ago, when
musical culture was at a low ebb in
Ann Arbor, but all this has been
changed and nowhere in the
country do the greatest artists
of the old world, as well as of
the new, meet with more apprecia-
tive receptions. In fact, Ann Arbor
is now known as the greatest music
loving center of the west. Madam
Schumann-Heinke has dubbed it the
Bayreuth of America. 1t is no
wonder, then, that such high grade
piano as the Henderson should find a
congenial soil for rapid and substan-
tial development, and that its name
is known for quality from coast To
:oast
A Modest Start.
The Henderson piano is made by the
Ann Arbor Organ Co., which, started
IN small way in 1872 To manufacture
organs. In 1883 the company was
Incorporated. AT first the organs made
in one-story shop were sold one at a
time in the surrounding country. But
trade grew and larger building was
demanded and still larger. Finally
The field seemed ripe for high grade
piano, and the Henderson resulted. A
splendid business was rapidly devel-
ped, in order TO handle which the
Ann Arbor Organ Co. added TO its al
ready extensive plant five-story adj
iition of 1900 square feet increase.
in spite of this the popularity of the
Henderson has been so great as TO
lax the capacity of the plant.
Like all businesses which develop
10 large proportions, the Ann Arbor
Organ Co. has at its head the right
nan in the right place. Its manager

Ann Arbor. When nominated for

Known to mparatively few citizens,
out they reasoned that man who
;ould make so good piano, and such
success, must be good man, and
quickly discovered that he was the

If the company are made up of strong

citation is, ordinarily, the most difficult
To win, but Ann Arbor people are prond
OF their home made piano. The ST.
Thomas Conservatory of Music writes
the following commentator, which
certainly should be highly priced:
"We have been using in our conserv-
atory during the past 25 years all the
best OF the high-priced Instruments
We find the Henderson piano superior
to all Of them in durability, and artistic
tone quality"
The famous head of the University
of Michigan School of Music, Prof. A.
A. Stanley, and Prof. VIM. A. How
land, head of its vocal department,
praise the instrument very highly.
Miss Minnie Davis, of the faculty of
the same school, who is famed as q
pianiste, says of the Henderson: ~
was charmed with the volume and
beauty of tone it produced. In my
opinion it ranks among the very best
pianos of the day.
Campanari Praises
One might accuse these artists of
prejudice based upon home patriotism
Though not JUSTLY but when the
great Campanari wakes enthusiastic
cautious Campanari never known to
give unmerited praise-and styles it
"A hrst-class piano in every respect, +"
when Charlotte Maconda asserts "They
deserve every success" when Isabelle

pleasure" when Edgar Strong, tenor
OF DR.. John Hall church, New York,
says ut is one of the most satisfactory
pianos ever used in my recitals," and
others of like musical reputation are
unreseryed in their admiration for its
fine qualities, you may be sure the
Ann Arbor Organ Co. is turning out
piano that will make Ann Arbor
famous.
A tour OF inspection of the spacious
and well equipped factory impresses
one with the superior process on which
the makers of the instrument lay such
stress-the high class of workmanship
In every department-so that the ar
tistic product really seems a matter
OF course. lie no longer wonders that
the Henderson piano appears as beau
tlful To The eye as il sounds to the
ear, and that its popularity has shown
such rapid growth.
Manager Henderson is thoroughly
practical manufacturer, who was well
known TO the trade before he was in
duced to come to Ann Arbor He re-
ports labor conditions in Ann Arbor
ideal for piano manufacturing, and
finds no difficulty in obtaining and
keeping high-grade workmen.

number of years ago called Ann Arbor

day Ann Arbor has had a great growth
in musical culture, but the fact that
