The Wonder
Of The Age

The Tel-Electric Piano Player can
be attached to any piano and played
at will without any hindrance what
ever to the regular use of the piano.
1t will give a perfect rendition Of the
great masters, without any pumping
or effort on your part. IL a musician,
or any one with musical ability, do
sires to put their own Interpretation
into a piece of music, it would Niay
just as they would have it play.
Everything good found in any piano
player is included in the Tel.Electrlc.
1t has. in addition, many features Of
greatest value not obtainable else
where.
A light delicate touch, the softest
effects when desired, and ample pow.
er when needed.
The music rolls are of brass thin
ner than paper but more durable
and will neither swell shrink, tear
nor play false notes.
The tempo and coloring is cut in
to the roll, but its use is optional.
The player may be located at any
distance from the piano, near at hand
in another room or on different floor
| If desired.
The motive power is electricity. But
electric current in the house it moi
necessary. Batteries may be used.
Laborious exertion Is eliminated
electricity does the work.
While mechanically superior to al
other piano players its rendition o
music is the least mechanical of all
Price, attached to any piano, $3.50.

 ELECT HARRISON Parsons Tells Secrets of the
 Sugar Company IS NOT A MONOPOLY MT. Parsons Declares H. o. Have meyer Was Not the One Power
 in the Sugar Corporation.
 Proud of Record
IS NOT A MONOPOLY

D. New York, July 21-The American Sugar Refining company contributed slo,- 0Go to help Benjamin Harrison in one ot his campaigns for the presidency against | Grover Cleveland. The contribution was told of today by John E. Parsons, Tor mer attorney for the company in ms testimony before the congressional com m.ttee which is Investigating the affairs | Of the so-called trust. He could not re- member whether it was the first or the second Harrison campaign | Mir. Parsons frankly boasted that he was the pioneer in the formation of the secuted the idea that the sugar trust con- stituted monopoly such as the Standard Oii or American Tobacco companies. Tte committee spent the afternoon visiting several reineries in this vicinity and held informal conferences with many superintendents, but took no testimony. c. A. Spreckles is expected to take the stand.
 MT. Parsons repudiated the many state ments which have been made that H. O. Havemeyer was the one power in the sugar trust and that the board of direc- tors always did as he bade.
  records that after the American had ab- sorbed the Philadelphia refneries there were three independent refineries in New York
 sWho organized those three reineries into the National Refinery company was asked Mir. Parsons.
 "Mr Havemeyer planned 1t, believe.
 And did not the American later ac- ouire it's preferred stock or majority of it?"
 .I believe so; do not remember per fectly'
 "The American did not acquire any of the Nationals slo,oO0,0oo of common stock?''
 NO. MT. Havemeyer acquired pos session of that s10,0O.ooo of common stock
 "You were to get some of this common stock?"
 Yes MT. Havemeyer promised to give me 4OOO shares of the common stock Tor legal services. I preferred the preferred sock, and he gave me 1000 shares of that for my services
 "Did you shun the common because of its quietus nature?"
 NO"
 Charles R. Heike former secretary of the American Sugar Refining company, before the committee, declared his ignor- ance of the mysterious resolution passed by the board of directors in which H. 0. Havemeyer said the company should take action relative to injurious litigation and hurtful legislation and appeals from each of the political parties. He also said the late John E. Searles was the secretary and did not turn over 10 him records ot the action taken on that resolution.
 Asked about campaign contributions to quiet injurious litigation and hurt full legislation" MT. Parsons said that he recalled having been called on for advice if the company could make such contrib utions.
 "I said the company had such right to protect it's stockholders" he said but it certainly would not contribute to buy off persecution. I only know of one political contribution. That was | in one of the Harrison campaigns, | when the company gave s10,000 to the treasurer of the republican campaign committee. I think his name was Ar mour."

Delightful Social Event

Despite the indictment weather the so- cial event of the afternoon, Mrs Rich ard Faull's forty-two party at her home at Feeders for the Matrons club and a number of friends, was a very pleasant and pretty affair.
 The interior apartments were used ex- clusively for the playing at the six ta- bles and the feature colors of yellow, brown and green were carried out in every detail. Sunfowers and trailing vines added brilliant floral scheme, es- pecialy in the reception hall. where a bower, artistically fashioned Of the pre- vailing blossoms, suggested summer and made welcome contrast to the dreary out-of-doors. The score cards were post cards painted in designs of darkies' heads and sunfowers and tied with the tri-colors.
 Instead of the conventional punch. a delicious orange ice was served to the guests by Miss Faul and Mrs. T. l. Cornwell upon their arrival
 The first prize silver and gold souv- enir spoon of Bessemer, was won by Mrs Percy Benton; the second duplicate. by Mrs John Neal on cut with Mrs. Robert Stevenson the gues. prize, a duplicate, by Mrs J. B. Moss, and tho consolation, souvenir spoon. also was drawn from a cluster of sunhowers by Mrs. T I. Cornwell.
 Mrs. Faul was gowned for the after noon in lavender voie with trimmings of cluny lace, and Mrs. Edwin Ball. ST., of Birmingham, who kept score, appeared In frock of pale blue silk. buffet luncheon of unique culinary conceits and orangeade served at the tables, followed the games and the guests besides the club members numbered about 15.

which she had deeded to the institution nearly 20 years ago, she reserving the rents during her lifetime The income from this property was very small on account of large repair bills, this property having come to us in very bad condition. In addition, we had to pay the taxes and insurance.
 We have now a good prospect of an income something like S1200 from this property for the coming year.
 Your attention is especially called to a financial statement made in this re- port in connection. with this fund.
 It will be recalled that our late brother, J. c. Bush of Mobile, left us the sum of $10.000 in cash and Mrs. Marie Louise Woodson gave us some real estate. situated in Selma. Ala. In both cases it was clearly provided that only the income could be used. Cp to this time We have had no return from either, the amount from Mrs. Woodsons property being insufficient to reimburse us for the past year.
 Ii is proposed to use the income from this endowment fund for the specific purpose of providing industrial train ing for the children. repairing the buildings and making necessary im- provements. We trust this will be the fixed policy of this institution and that this fund will never be used to meet lllb tAptHSts oi tbu'dtioi, pF' lieving that this should come to us, as it has in the past. from the churches, Sunday schools, women's societies and individuals.
 There has been a falling off on the part of the larger churches during the past year. at the same time there has been an increase on the part of our Sunday schools, a s well as very great increase by the womens societies. The total amounts sent to us are s2.3366S short of the receipts of last year and in addition to this we have the entire expense of clothing tho children tthis was formerly done by the womens so Cieties, but at our suggestion they are now sending the money insteadD, nat urally putting more work on our off cers but the results have been grati- flying
 A study of the table that gives re- ceipts by the month indicates that our people are not following very closely the calendar plan that was adopted by the convention Our money comes largely in the fall and we could make better financial showing if this re- port could be made at that time. The orphanage no longer keeps financial secretary in the field and will in future, be even more dependent on the cooperation of our pastors and Sunday school superintendents The financial statement we are making at this time is necessarily longer than usual and we trust that 1t will be given careful study

creenville, July 21.-(Special)-The fol- lowing is the eighteenth annual report of the board of trustees of Louise Short Baptist Widows and Orphans home of Alabama covering the conventional year, July 1, 1910 to July 1, 1911. To the Baptist State Convention:
 Dear Brethren: The eighteenth year of this institution has just closed and your board thinks substantial progress has been made Gods blessing has been npon the work The health of the children has been reasonably good; not a death has occurred among them for several years, . record of which we are justly proud.
 A year ago we reported S7 children; since then we have received II and sent ont Il. leaving the number at this time eo. Of this number 1T are boys and 43 girls.
 The number of admissions have nos been so large as for the previous year, but this is due no doubt to the more care ful investigation we are making of the ap- plcations It is our earnest desire to re- ceive all children that should be sent  duty to see that the orphanage is not Imposed upon.
 We still find disposition on the par: of some of our people to place their children here because we are better prepared to educate and train them thar they are but, of course, no children are received for these reasons. Only
 
 ted. If admissions were upon any other basis it would be impossible to care for the large number of children that would be immediately dumped upon us.
 While not so much has been expended as last year, still the large buildings are constantly needing repairs.
 We have installed this year the laur- dry, bought additional machinery for the boys industrial plant, a number of new sewing machines for the girls sewing room. These, and many minor repairs, small as to cost. yet aggregate a consid- erable sum.
