ONCE upon a time we studied the Bible pretty closely.
Since the advent of the Musical Courier we have, how-
ever, discovered a more reliable n.oral guide. The
lofty morality and exalted principle of Mr. Marc A.
Blumenberg are high—ever so high—above criticism.
His sacrifices on the altar of " legitimate trade" entitle
him to be canonized. The memory of " St. Marc the
Second" will long be kept green.

BUSHEY & BUXTON of Utica, N. Y., dealers in musi-
cal instruments, have dissolved partnership.

OF the 31,200 organs made in Chicago in 1888, the
W. W. Kimball Company, Chicago Cottage Organ Com-
pany, Story & Clark Organ Company, Newman Bro-
thers and Lyon & Healy made over 26,000, a few small
concerns making the balance, or in other words, an
average of over a thousand each. These figures will
not materially be changed during the present year, ex-
cept that the large concerns will make more, and the
small ones less.—Indicator.
P. J. GILDEMEESTER, of Chickering & Sons, N. Y., has
gone to Chicago, 111. Mr. Gildemeester will be absent
two weeks.
. FRANK CHICKERING, of Chickering & Sons, N. Y.,
has started for a vacation in the Adirondacks.
FRANK H. CUSHMAN, who embezzled $1,200 from his
employers, Messrs. Ira N. Goff & Son, of Providence,
R. I., and who was arrested in Denver, Col., on April
8ih, was arraigned in the former city. He pleaded not
guilty and waived examination, and awaits in jail the
next term of the Court of Common I'leas.
C. C. HARVEY & Co., of Boston, Mass, have bought
out the retail business of Chickering & Sons of that
city, and now occupy the Chickering warerooms. Har-
vey & Co., who are an energetic and highly-respected
house, will have associated with them Mr. Chandler
Smith. The Chickerings will now be in a position to
concentrate their efforts in their factcry.
ON Sunday evening last Mr. Kaemmerer, of Geo.
Steck & Co., was serenaded by the Liederkranz, of
which association he has several times been president
and is now vice-president. Mr. Kaemmerer hopes to
return from his European tour in September.
. THE immense popularity of the Wessell, Nickel &
dross action is in no danger of diminution. No further
proof of this assertion is needed ihan is supplied by the
fact that the firm have sufficient orders on file to keep
their factory running full time through the usually quiet
months of Summer.

CHADWICK & MERRIAM, manufacturers of pianos and
organ stools, South Acton, Mass., inform us that they
are very busy this Spring and that their trade is far
ahead of last year.
Mr. HUGO SOHMER, N. Y., has returmed home from
a brief and highly satisfactory trip through Pennsyl-
vania, Maryland, and Washington, D. C.
DEATH has laid low another Prince—one who will
be greatly mourned, for he was far better than most
princes, being Henry Prince, of Montreal, Que., dealer
in musical instruments.
THE partnership formerly existing between Hall &
Heckle, piano dealers, Fort Worth, Tex., has been dis-
solved.
FROM Portland, Me., comes the sad intelligence that
Samuel Thurston, piano dealer, has had realty attached
for $1,400.
A NEW music store has been opened at Keokuk, Iowa,
by J. W. Sandford.
LAST week we were favored with a very pleasant call
by Mr. Homer D. Bronson, of the Homer D. Bronson
Co., Beacon Falls, Conn., who stated that the business
of his firm was never so large and prosperous as at the
present time.
THE late Mr. Oliver Ditson's residence in East
Brookline street, Boston, Mass., is for sale. The entire
estate contains over five thousand square feet of land.
THE business of Wood T. Ogden, Middletown, N. Y.,
has been succeeded to by Morgan & Wilbur, who will
represent the Hazelton, Mason & Hamlin, A. B. Chase
and Sterling pianos, and the Farrand & Votey, Sterling^
Mason & Hamlin and A. B. Chase organs. Both gen-
tlemen are of high repute in Middletown, and possess
ample means, backed by business qualifications of th'e
first order.
PAUL G. MEHLIN & SONS, N. Y., are using every
possible endeavor to acquire a stock of pianos, but their
chances of doing so would seem to be remote, as every
piano made in their factory is purchased before it is
completed. The prospects of this firm are exception-
ally bright.

ELLA WHEELER WILCOX says men should propose
with their eyes. In that case which eye would best
become Marc, with that Butlerian squint so habitual to
his expressive phiz ?
MESSRS. W. H. JEWETT & COMPANY, the noted piano
makers of Leominster, Mass., are flooded with orders
for their excellent instruments in rosewood, mahogany
and blister-walnut cases, which give the greatest satis-
faction to all purchasers.
No. 92 Fifth avenue, N. Y., is undergoing alterations
previously to being occupied by the Emerson Piano
Company of Boston as their New York branch.
THE studious and highly-gifted Frank Conover. of
Conover Brothers, N. Y., is steadily pressing onward to
fame. His inventions and improvements furnish topics
for eager discussion among the piano trade. What may
be termed the specially Conoverian points of the new
Conover grand piano are pointed to by Mr. Conover's
friends with pride; and his enemies, if he have any, will
find it difficult to criticise any of his work adversely.
YOUR little scheme did not succeed, even after you
had done your prettiest; did it John? We wonder if
you have discovered the actions of that wasp which you
imagined that you had located sometime ago. Perhaps
it wasn't there after all, but would it be real gross of us
to wager a nickel that you have found a man who has
sand of the real sort with whom your game doesn't
work ?
THE business of the Wilcox & White Organ Co., Mer-
iden, Conn., has reached a more prosperous point than
it has ever before attained to. Their " pneumatic sym-
phony " is rapidly making its way into all sections of
the country, and is the subject of much enthusiasm on
the part of leading dealers. Mr. W. E. Hemingway,
who is traveling in the South, has forwarded many
orders within a very brief time. No manner of doubt
exists as to the grand success of this wonderful organ.
THE ACTION IS LIGHT. FIRM. ELASTIC. RESPONSIVE.
THE SCALE IS SCIENTIFICALLY CORRECT AND MUSICALLY
PERFECT.
THE WORKMENSHIP THE HIGHEST SKILL CAN MAKE THEM,
AND MATERIALS ARE THE BEST

HAINES BROTHERS are rapidly becoming settled in
their new factory at Harlem, N. Y. The first pianos
shipped from this new building were forwarded last
week, and in a very short time the firm will be in a
position to fill all orders with promptitude. The new
factory is one of the most complete in the United
States. We hope to give a description of it in our next
issue.
WE are not surprised to learn that the Pinkerton firm
have issued a secret circular to employers of labor,
offering to furnish detectives "suitable to associate
with their employees " and obtain information regard-
ing the feeling of the latter in regard to labor organiza-
tions, etc. These dastardly, sneaking methods of the
notorious detective combination will find no response
from among honorable piano manufacturers, who
know full well that a frank appeal to the better feelings
and to the sense of right of their workmen is more
likely to avail in times of trouble than a recourse to es-
pionage like that which obtains in despotically-governed
Russia. If Mr. Pinkerton wants to make money on the
strength of this secret circular he had better apply to
Bloody Balfour, chief secretary for Ireland, or to the
King of Dahomey. Not in free America, Mr. Pinkerton.
