Still I enjoy the sensation 1 am caus-
ing in this city, and found it rather
Bice to join the crowds that were dis
cussing me yesterday. 1 can only say
that 1 think it will be a short time
before l meet my Waterloo.
/ have been informed through my
manager, that the management of the
Arcade Theatre have made arrange
ments to have me appear at this thea
ire right after l am captured, where
l am to make costume changes, show
ing some of the costumes l have worn
during my stay in this city.
Yesterday morning, l visited the
piano parlor of the Jacob Doll & Sons,
1877 Market street, an establishment OF
continental reputation and one which
! was eager to visit. The Jacob Doll
& Sons piano rooms and pianos are
the finest 1 have ever seen.
As I entered the store 1 asked for
Mr.. Doll, who 1 found TO be a charm
ing gentleman with a winning per-
sonality and a frank, earnest manner.
He possesses that greatest of all suc-
cess winners, enthusiasm"
/ informed Mr.. Doll that l had called
W GIG anu AlOdA Lily OdLOD OOll llllCAl
Player Piano, which 1 had heard and
read so much about. Mr.. Doll at once
escorted me back into the reception
parlor. Words fail to express the eff
feet this beautiful room had upon me,
n all around stood nan handsome
Interior player pianos. l saw some of
the finest art creations of the famed
Jacob Doll & Sons. Mr.. Doll then ex-
49, - Ut n-If
Interior Player Piano is the standard
of the world, and after having heard
several selections rendered ] readily
understood h great qualities of this
piano. and I wanted to buy n and
have it sent right home. And what a
full, rich, sweet tone these pianos have!
Mr.. Doll explained it was on account
of the pneumatic fingers hitting the
piano keys in front of the fulcrum.
This is called the human stroke, and a
human touch and expression is the re-
suit. These interior players play
lightweight notes, the entire keyboard
OF a Z 1-3 octave piano. 1 also saw the
famous Stodart, Baus and Victoria
pianos. While in this store a gay idea
came to me to go out and solicit for
the interior player piano. Going near
the door and bidding adieu to Mr.. Doll,
r looked ~affectionately at a pile Of
business cards bearing the FIRMS name,
and a catalogue of the famous interior
player. which I helped myself to and
started for Broad street.
The way of the transgressor is hard.
Armed with my package of stolen
cards l made my first call at 10 War
rem street, where I left one Of the busl-
ness cards of the Jacob Doll & Sons,
reading Presented by Miss De Muir
with the maid on being Informed the
lady of the house was not in.
At IS Halsey street the maid in
formed me that the lady could not see
me, that she was busy. I therefore
asked the maid to kindly give my card
to the madam and tell her to call and
see the interior player. At So James
street / had the pleasure of finding the
lady In, and, as l handed her a card,
informed her that I was representing
the Jacob Doll piano people, and com
menced to tell her all about this Won
derful player. The lady informed me
that she had just gotten a new piano,
and therefore would not be interested
in getting another. 1 insisted she keep
the card. call and see the player, and
no to forget my firm when her piano
needed tuning.
At As Eighth avenue the lady also
had a piano, but gave me a half prom
Use that she would call and let us have
tho tuning of her piano, which she
would have attended to after Xmas.
Stated that she had had the same peo-
pie tune her piano yer since she had
beon In the citv. hut decided with me-
that q change might be good.
What a nice, jolly old gent 1 found
Mr.. Kicker, of SO Eighth venue to be.
On opening the door, 7 asked him If
the lady of the house was in. He re-
piled, Eyes, the lady is in and so am
II "'Well you are just the one I had
better talk to, for I suppo you are
the boss" I remarked. Sometimes
am" he answered. I then told him all
about the player and the other high
grade pianos of the Jacob Doll & Sons.
'Oh. my. we don't want a piano. What
on earth do we want one for? None OF
us can play" said Mr.. r. "Oh, yes
you can all play the one I rave told
you about" L replied. / then asked
him If he didn't have any young people
at home, and he informed me that he
had one son. but he could go out when
he wanted any music, and on leaving
I told him to keep the card and some
