LOUIS MAAS.
R. LOUIS MAAS, known on both sides of the
Atlantic as a pianist and composer, died at his
home in Jamaica Plain, Tuesday night last, of
peritonitis. Dr. Maas was taken ill in Paris, from
which city he returned two weeks ago. He was born
in Wiesbaden in 1852, and his parents were both accom-
plished musicians. Louis was taken to London when
young, and at the age of fifteen was graduated from
Kings College with class honors. He was graduated
afterwards from the Royal Conservatory at Leipsic.

We are glad to announce to the trade that Mr.
Houghton has been appointed sole agent in New York
for the eminent veneer firm of Romaine Brothers &
Mannie, of Petersburg, Va. This firm is well known
as one of the most reputable houses in the South.
Their factory is one of the most complete of its kind,
being equipped with modern machinery which enables
them to fill their orders with the utmost promptitude,
and also with ample supplies of material. In their ap-
pointment of Mr. Houghton as their special agent
Messrs. Romaine Brothers & Mannie have shown great
wisdom, as he is well and favorably known to the trade,
both for his business abilities and for his upright char-
acter. It will be to the advantage of piano and organ
manufacturers to inspect the stock which Mr. Houghton
has on exhibition.
Mr. Houghton was a very interested attendant at last
Tuesday's convention of representatives of the piano
and organ trade of the country, being in full sympathy
with the promoters of the Protective Union, which
body has now been happily established. He attended
both on his own account and as agent of Messrs. Ro-
maine Brothers & Mannie.
F. RADLE, N. Y., maker of piano desks, scroll, band,
and circular sawing and moulding, etc., informs us that
his fall trade has opened up very satisfactorily. His
entire resources are employed in the filling of orders. Mr.
Radle is making a specialty of engraved panels with
sawed borders, in new designs which are greatly admir-
ed by the trade.
