was the fortunate winner of the $1,200 par-
lor Grand Chickering piano which was of-
fered as a prize by James A. Guest, the
well known dealer of that city. The Bur-
lington Haivkcyc ;ays: It is a matter of
congratulation that it is to remain in the
city. The fact that such instruments are
appreciated here is evidence of our musical
progress.
S. M. BARNES, of Wm. Knabe & Co.'s
Fifth avenue forces, has written the music
of two songs that are destined to become
quite popular—"A Heart's Story" and
"The Man That Slept in Mr. Astor's Bed."
The words of both are by Geo. W. Gillman.
The title of the last named song is bound
to catch the eye of wide-awake publishers.

HE head of a leading banking house
had his counsel investigate the law in
regard to certified checks, and finds that if
the drawer of a check has taken it to the
bank and had it certified, he is still, jointly
with the bank, responsible to the payee if
the bank fails. If the payee, however, has
taken the check to the bank and had it cer-
tified, the drawer of the check is no longer
responsible to the payee, because the payee
accepts by that action the responsibility of
the bank.
T
HE Indicator is after the piano dealers
of Chicago for not paying more atten-
tion to the tuning of their pianos, and says:
"Chicago enjoys in the East the reputation
—if it is possible to find any enjoyment in
such a reputation—of being a city where
the worst tuned pianos are kept in public
display." Now, to be fair, Chicago is not
the only city where such a lamentable state
of things exist. There are a few piano
warerooms not a hundred miles from Har-
lem seemingly desirous of emulating the
capital of the West in this respect.

A TEXAS judge has declared the anti-
scalper law unconstitutional. He says that

scalper has the same right that dealers in
other second-hand articles have.
