West is excellent, and the Eastern trade in the

able difficulty in finding a suitable man to fill

are various reasons assigned for this. It occurs
to us that it was an error to decentralize the
Mehlin business by a separation of interests.
Would not the concern be stronger if the entire
business were concentrated in New York under

HE Jesse French Piano and Organ Company,
who so successfully represented the Vose
& Sons piano in St. Louis, will no longer act in
that capacity. In connection with their leader
—the Chickering—they will devote themselves
to pushing the Starr piano, which is quite a
favorite in that section of the country, and need-
less to say it will receive a decided impetus in
the hands of this progressive house. This
friendly separation between Vose & Sons and
the Jessie French Piano and Organ Company
will leave a splendid opening for many energetic
houses to handle the Vose & Sons pianos, in
an extensive and popular territory. The Vose
& Sons piano is one of the deservedly popular
instruments of the day, and it commands a
marked standing in that section of the country.

purpose of annihilating Mr. Blumenberg.
There was to be no uncertainty about it.. Mr.
Blumenberg's forces were to be paralyzed and

have passed and The Courier retains its mag-
nificent patronage and sails serenely on while
John (See?) is fading—a mere speck on the
horizon. Marc Blumenberg has demonstrated
the fact that he possesses brains. John (See ?)
is now in the sere and yellow leaf, and still he
labors under the delusion that he is a journalist.
His career does not furnish evidence that such
is the case.
