Librarian Spofford's Accounts.
THEY ARE SAID TO SHOW A SHORTAGE OF
SPECIAL from Washington under
date ot Aug. 22, says: The accounts
riANUFACTURERS OF
of Congressional Librarian Spofford, which
have been under investigation by the
Auditor of the Treasury for the State and
other departments since last January, are
said to show a shortage of at least $35,000.
This shortage is said to exist in the pay-
roll accounts of the library, and in addition
to this is a discrepancy in the copyright
and search fee accounts.
The accounts have been examined by an
expert in the office of Auditor Holcomb,
and his report is believed to have been car-
ried to President Cleveland at Gray Gables For terms and territory address
by Assistant Secretary Haralin, of the
Treasury Department, who went to his cot-
tage at Marion, -Mass., a few days ago to
spend his vacation. At the Treasury De-
partment the officers declined to discuss
the matter.
Mr. Spofford conceded to-day that a dis-
crepancy existed in his accounts, as he had
previously stated, and that when the
amount was ascertained he would make it
171 and 173 South Canal Street
good. The trouble was due to the multi-
plicity of his duties as Librarian and Reg-

are worthy of even favorable mention.
There is probably no grander illustration
of the above on record than in the case of
the Kimball piano and organ factories in
Chicago. When the Kimball Co. began
building a large piano factory several years
ago, the old piano makers in the East
laughed to themselves and hooted the idea
of a Western-made piano ever having any
general acceptance with the American
musical public; and they talked of the
great failure they would see the Kimball
Co. make in their attempt to make pianos.
Their first pianos were put on the market
in September, '88. They met with imme-
diate and great favor among the music
trade everywhere, and in less than two
years Eastern manufacturers began to real-
ize that the Kimball piano had captured
much of their business. They saw the un-
qualified endorsement of the music profes-
sion, including testimonials from the most
eminent and celebrated musicians in all the
world.
Year after year the Kimball Co. have
been forced to build additional factories in
order to supply the rapidly increasing de-
mand for their instruments. The dealers
every where want them; the leading pian-
ists of America are playing them in grand
concert in the great musical centers, such
as New York, Brooklyn, Washington, Chi-
cago, etc., and the popularity of the piano
is without parallel in piano history.

J. ERLANDSEN, the well-known manu-
facturer of tools for piano makers and tun-
ers, at 172 .Centre street, is well pleased
with the condition of business, which he
says has shown a marked increase right
along. Although he is working overtime,
he seems unable to catch up with orders.

It is admitted by all that no piano ever put upon the
market has met with such success as THE STERLING,
and thousands will testify to their superiority of work-

just as perfect as a piano can be made.
