Gain Knowledge
Of the "innards" of a piano by a little reading. Yon may have
been a dealer for many years, yon, may have been a tnner for a
like period, yon may have played a little—maybe more; bnt is
it not well to get a little more practical knowledge?
Some-
thing to bank on—an authority on all matters relating to tun-
ing, repairing, toning and regulating, scientific instructions-
everything? Written by that eminent authority, Daniel Spillane.
The cost is only a trifle—a dollar.
The book is illustrated,
cloth bound, over a hundred pages-
It is called "The Piano."

Geo. E. Dearborn to Liquidate.
MAKES AN ASSIGNMENT TO GEO. R. FLEMING.
Geo. E. Dearborn, piano dealer of 1508
Chestnut street, Philadelphia, made an as-
signment Monday last for the benefit of
creditors, to Geo. R. Fleming.
Considerable real estate is conveyed by
the deed, also a number of pieces of land
situated in Montgomery County.
The cause of the assignment is due to
general depression of business and inabil-
ity to collect outstanding bills to meet
pressing liabilities. Mr. Dearborn has
been ill at his home for some time, and his
business has of late missed his personal
management. The assignee will wind up
the business at once.
The liabilities are estimated at about
$60,000; assets, $200,000.
A Piano Poem.
Another of those famous art products
for which the house of Steinway & Sons
is justly famed is now in Steinway Hall.
It is a superb mahogany grand after the
Empire style. Its sides and top are chaste-
ly ornamented with paintings by Black-
more, and on the name board is a poetical
legend in the center of which is the trade
mark of Steinway & Sons. The instrument
in truth is a piano poem and shows indis-
putably that piano making with Steinway
& Sons is indeed an art industry.
Conn Wins Hands Down.
The Hon. C. G. Conn, the celebrated
band instrument manufacturer, of Elkhart,
Ind.j was triumphantly acquitted of the
charge of criminal libel brought against
him by Mr. Truesdell, one of the civil com-
missioners of the District of Columbia, and
which came up for hearing in Washington
last week. It was plain there was no evi-
dence upon which to base a suit, for the
judge would not allow the case to go to the
jury and instructed them to render a ver-
dict in Mr. Conn's favor.
Friendsof Mr. Conn who knew the inside
facts expected this result. Mr. Conn's
character and reputation have always stood
unchallenged and untarnished, and will
continue so notwithstanding the absurd
and misleading reports sent out by Wash-
ington correspondents concerning this suit
and other matters with which Mr. Conn has
been connected.

The Haines New Scale No. 20.
Haines Bros., Incor., have unquestion-
ably made the "hit "of their career with
their new scale upright, Style 20, and we
are greatly mistaken if it does not create
quite a furore in the trade.
The Review had the pleasure of inspect-
ing one of these instruments turned out
this week, and can speak of it in the most
enthusiastic terms. The case is of mahog
any, and is a marvel in architectural de-
sign, while the tone—a full, deep bass;
rich, singing, and bright treble—is more
like that of a grand than an upright.
The lucky possessor of this handsome
instrument is Mr. John A. Nevling, of
Tyrone, Pa., who has just bought it. We
congratulate him upon his purchase.
When The Review was present, Miss
Lulu Kleinschmidt, one of the most charm-
ing and talented of New York artistes, and
who can claim the honor of having gradu-
ated from the Stuttgart Academy, favored
those who had assembled to congratulate
the firm on its latest achievement with an
admirable rendering of Liszt's Rhapsody
No. 2, given on the Haines Bros, new
scale No. 20 above referred to. Magnifi-
cent results were produced on the instru-
ment, several examples of which are now
in course of completion to fill orders.
Fischer's 100,OOOth Piano.
Union Square, always interesting, has
one feature at present of extraordinary
attractiveness—to music lovers at least, if
not to all others. In the large show win-
dow of J. & C. Fischer stands a magnificent
example of piano manufacture. It is one
of the Fischer new scale, style 2, parlor
grands, in mahogany. At any time, this
would be well worthy of inspection, but
just now this particular instrument draws the
attention of every observant passer-by. It
makes an epoch in the history of the firm—
such an epoch as will be looked for in vain
elsewhere, so far as the published records
can be taken for a guide. It is Fischer piano
No. 100,000, completed some time ago, but
only placed on exhibition this week. This
means an average of over seventeen hun-
dred pianos manufactured each year dur-
ing the past fifty-six years. Even if
quantity alone were considered, this would
not be a bad record. As it happens that
quality enters, and always has entered,
very largely into the making of every
Fischer piano, the record is, to say the
least, unique and history-making.
Peter Duffy, president of the Schubert
Piano Co., left for Europe on Wednesday
last by the Cfty of Paris.
