IT is understood that J. B. Viano is
making preparations to open up a music
store in Rockport, Tex. It is to be located
in the hotel block, just opposite the post
office.
W. F. ROEHR has resigned his posi-
tion with E. B. Guild's music house, To-
peka, Kas. He will open a new music riANUFACTURERS OF
store at 630 Kansas avenue.
M. P. MOLLER, whose organ works at
Hagerstown, Md., were destroyed by fire,
has offers to locate elsewhere, including
one from Havre de Grace of $20,000 bonus
and exemption from taxation for a number
of years.
THsWestern Cottage Organ have definite-
ly decided to reside in Ottawa, 111., and
will build a new factory there.
O. M. CLEMENT, brother of Lew H. For terms and territory
Clement, of the Ann Arbor Organ Co., was
assaulted at Cedar Rapids last week by
some unknown parties, and relieved of $60
and a gold watch. His assailants have not
as yet been arrested.
THE Kansas City Piano Co. have been
sued by B. S. Atkinson for $5,000, which
he claims as satisfaction for damage done
his reputation. It appears that Atkinson
obtained judgment some months ago for
$300, and attached some instruments to
pay the debt. He was arrested for perjury
and gave bonds. The present suit is the
result of that arrest.

PIANOS
GEO. P. BENT has favored us with a very
complete catalogue of "Crown" organs,
which should be in the hands of dealers in-
terested in these instruments.
C. G. CONN'S Truth, of Elkhart, Ind., is
chock full of information about the cele-
brated "Wonder" band instruments. No
one can be in doubt of the popularity and
reputation of these wares after perusing
the current issue of this paper. All inter-
ested in band instruments should look it up.
FRED. W. SAFFERY, with Otto Sutro &
Co., Baltimore, has been spending a few
days in the city. He was accompanied by
Mrs. Saffery.
MR. GROSS and his family have been trav-
eling in Europe.—Indicator, Aug. 24.
Well, this is news. We were under the
impression that Mr. Gross was "summer-
ing" in Stamford, Cona.

WE regret to learn that Harrison Millard,
the popular song writer, is again seriously
ill.
CARL OSTRUM, a piano maker, residing
at 226 East Twenty-sixth street, was as-
saulted by his son and a stranger in his
house last Sunday, and a gold watch and
money was taken. The son was arrested
and held for trial. His accomplice has not
so far been arrested.
E. P. FAULDS, one of Louisville's (Ky.)
esteemed citizens, as well as one of the
oldest members of the piano trade in this
country, has been quite ill. He is now on
the road to recovery, we are pleased to say.
W. H. GRUBKS, of Columbus, O., has had
H. Leffler, a resident of Belle Centre, ar-
rested on a charge of trying to defraud him
out of a piano which was purchased on July
18th. Leffler claimed to be worth $3,000
worth of property, but investigation has
shown that the encumbrances on the prop-
erty more than cover its value. It is said
other Columbus firms and a Kenton firm
have like charges to file against Leffler.
Cornish & Co. Busy.
THE large organ factory of Cornish &
Co., at Washington, N. J., of which ex-
Congressman Johnson C. Cornish is a
member, has begun operations. The com-
pany recently closed the factory for the
purpose of giving its employees a vacation
for two weeks, but after the factory was
shut down a week it was forced to call the
men back to work, owing to the surprising
number of orders received for instruments.

It is admitted by all that no piano ever put upon the
market has met with such success as THE STERLING,
and thousands will testify to their superiority of work-
manship and durability. Why ? Because they are made
just as perfect as a piano can be made.
THE STERLING ORGAN has always taken the lead, and
the improvements made this year puts it far ahead of
all others. H3^**Send for Catalogue.

N Paris M. Moissan has recently suc-
ceeded in preparing fairly large masses
of pure molybdenum. The metal thus ob-
tained has a specific gravity of 9, and is
only fused with difficulty. The pure metal
is quite as soft and as malleable as wrought
iron, and can be easily forged at a red heat,
says The Engineering and Mining Journal.
It can be preserved without oxidation un-
der water for several days. The most re-
markable property of the metal is, however,
the fact that it can be cemented like wrought
iron, forming a "steel," if the term may
be used, which can be tempered similarly
to ordinary steel. Moreover, cast molyb-
denum containing several per cent, of car-
bon can be softened by placing it in a mass
of oxid of the metal, just as in the ordinary
process of making malleable castings. Hav-
ing a very great affinity for oxygen, M.
Moissan suggests that it may be usefully
added to the iron in a converter, replacing
manganese or aluminum. As the oxid of
the metal is volatile, it does not remain in
the converter.

To Use the "Conover."
T
HE administration of Winthrop Col-
lege, Columbia, S. C , recently
awarded Theodore Wenzel, of Charleston,
S. C , the contract for the immediate supply
of five "Conover" pianos, also the future
supply of all instruments required, amount-
ing probably to about ten during the next
year. The selection was made from among
a large number of instruments sent by
many leading manufacturers of the coun-
try.
