PIANOS At A DOLLAR A POUND
FINE ARRAY OF MUSICAL IN.
STRUMENTS ON SALE.
DeMoll & Co. Occupy Commodious
New Store on G Street
Northwest
"Pianos at a dollar a pound"

"Pianos at dollar pound"
This seemingly bald statement is not
given as the announcement OF an inno-
walton in piano selling, nor as an init
nation that any one possessing lone
some case-note can exchange same for
single black key Or one soft pedal.
The fact that a piano may be bought
at a dollar pound is the result of an
accident-and this particular purchase
would require a considerable amount of
legal tender, because the piano in the
case cannot be bought a pound at a
time. The piano in the case is con-
cert grand brought to Washington by O..
J. DeMol & Co., and on exhibition at
their new store at the corner of 18th
and G. streets northwest, and II Just
happens that the instrument weighs
1,SO0 pounds while it's price is sl,soo.
The DeMoll company moved last week
into the new 18th and G. streets store, d
building which was constructed especially
for its own, use, and only recently COM

moval Mr.. DeMol having arranged TO
entertain representatives of all the firms
whose pianos and player-planos he

sion to receive the friends and patrons OF
some appropriate souvenir.

Youngest, but at the same time one or
the most successful music houses in
WASHINGTON 1t was formed seven years
ago when o. J. DeMoll and Emmons s.
Smith entered into partnership and
opened their first store at No. 1881 G
street. Mr. Smith was formerly pro-
prietor of the Boston Variety Store, from
the ownership of which he retired some
years ago. :.
The DeMoIl company rapidly outSrew its
original quarters, and in 1903 secured ad-
ditional space on the second floor OF I'D
G. street. More space was required in
1904, and the firm took the storerooms
at 1893 and 1897 G street In 1907 the
entire building at 1881 G street was re-
modelled, and by the alterations the firm
gained space on. the upper floors for their
storage and repair departments. This
space they still retain in addition to their
new building.
AS the new structure is four stories in

Her husband. a man of about sixty years
DID, sat directly behind and was bowed
with grief. A little girl about five years
old bearing the name of Ruth, smiled
and played, totally oblivious to the sad
sister lay in an adjoining room cold in

DEN MARK.

The reception which was accorded
DR.. Cook, the discoverer of the north
pole, upon his arrival in the Danish
capital last week, was one of the most
enthusiastic events that has ever been
recorded in the history of the city. Peo-
pie fairly went crazy with joy and to
say that DR.. Cook could survive it all
is putting it mildly. One of the most
interesting features of DR.. Cooks pres
ent position in Copenhagen is that he
is about the only intelligent man in
the world now who does not realize
how conspicuous and talked about DR..
Cook is today. Minister Egan (the
American minister) has shielded him
as carefully as possible. While he has
during the last few days been theoreti-
cally living as the governments guest
at hotel he is practically living at
the legation, so that he may be kept
away from the pressure Of the crowds
which are still surrounding the hotel.
Dr. Cook will soon visit Brussels and
will also deliver lecture at Paris.
He will then return to Copenhagen and
sail from there to New York.
The farmers that supply Copenhagen
with milk get between 16 and IS cents
galloon, and the sale prices of the
milk are Az cents quart for whole
milk, 21a cents for half-sk1mmed milk.
and 6 cents for Pasteurized milk for
infants. Denmark exports to Great
Britain over s48,60O,O0O worth of but
ter yearly. Trifolium dairy, the larg-
est cooperative dairy IN Denmark,
uses about 1900 pounds of milk daily,
and the output of butter varies from
twelve to fourteen tons week. The
number of cows in Denmark in 1903
was 1,066,698, of which somewhat less
than 100000 were on farms delivering
milk to the cooperative diaries.
A demonstration in which 500 bust.
ness men participated in occurred a
week ago last Sunday in Copenhagen.
The demonstration was designated
against the chief of the war depart
ment, Mr.. J. C. Christensen, whose re-
moval by the king is now demanded.
The people it appears are not satisfied
with the part that he played in the
Alberti scandal and they are now
bound to have him removed
