is no doubt about the fixed value
OF a knabe Pianoforte. When the

out the whole knabe business in

Comment by President Price.
President Price stated that while he
knew there was strong disposition on
the part of Congress Heights people TO
carry this whole question to Congress or
the city railway commission. and lay be-
fore the latter body the legal question
whether the road should be permitted to
issue transfers without good reason. he
advised that the promise of Gen. Harries
be accepted in good faith. He believed
that Gen. Harries and other officials of
the road mean to carry out their promises
to the letter. and he felt that they would
do so more quickly and agreeahly under
the cooperation OF the citizens of that
vicinity than they would II forced by the

New Missiles for Weddings.

1t is quie singular how of late years a
decided objection to the ancient custom
of rice and slipper throwing after the
bride and bridegroom has sprung up, so
much SO that several comparatively new
ideas have of late come almost univer-
sally into vogue
Instead OF the hard rice relle S, which
occasionally are thrown with too much
vehemence to be pleasant, some brides go
in for substituting the tiniest ladies' slip
pers as well as horseshoes made entirely
OF sort silver paper. These resemble
sparkling shower of silver. Other brides
lean to providing their friends with dried
rose or other sweet-smelling leaves to be
thrown after them.

we are here to commemorate the land

Pilgrims. The German is not by instinct
Wanderer. He is, by nature, rooted to

mean the disca-ding OF mother. Love
grows as it widens its gates. The Ger

Our presence here is tangible proof of
the Infinite JOY We find that the German
pilgrims for the past two centuries have
come here to enter into the composition
