W. H. GRUBBS, of Columbus, O., whose

months ago, has taken possession of his

ous business.

WORK on the new buildings of the Krell
Piano Co., Cincinnati, O., is being rapidly
pushed, and everything will soon be in run-
ning order for the production of the well-
known Krell piano, which will be hand-
somer and more worthy of praise and sup-
port than ever before.
"BUSINESS is not just what we would
like," said J. Burns Brown, of Chickering
& Sons, in the course of a short talk on
Thursday, "but we cannot complain. Our
business so far for March is as good, if not
better, than last year, and we expect to
close a very satisfactory month, times con-
sidered."
IT is expected t'latif Geo. H. Ash, super-
intendent of the Merrill Piano Co., Boston,
can conclude negotiations now in progress
he will continue to make the Merrill piano.
This is a wise move on Mr. Ash's part.
The Merrill name is well established, and
the piano has a good reputation. That is
half the battle.
REMARKABLY good work is being done
for the Pease Piano Co. in the West by B.
M. Robinson, who is working the Pacific
Coast, and by W. E. flail, who has been
touring New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio
during the past few weeks. The reports
from both quarters indicate an improved
outlook for business with the Pease Co.
A LARGE hotel and theatre is to be built
in Philadelphia, between Eleventh and
Twelfth streets and Chestnut and Girard
streets. This will compel such well-known
firms as the Schomacher Piano Co., Blasius
& Sons, C. J. Heppe & Son, James Bellak's
Sons, the Cunningham Piano Co., J. G.
Ramsdell and Henry L. Steinert to look
for new quarters.
A BOOK of music and instructions for the
Plectraphone is being compiled by L. M.
French, of the John Church Co. It will
give valuable points upon how to secure
the different effects of the mandolin, harp,
guitar, etc., on the Everett piano.

Boston, will soon remove into larger ware-
rooms on the first floor of the same building.

which was to be rebuilt in this city.
THE Zeno Mauvais Music Co., San Fran-

lar sheet music successes entitled "Ma
Angeline," by C. S. O'Brien, which is ar-
ranged as a song, schottische and march;
"The New Bully Two-Step," by G. Doni-
gan, and a very pleasing and melodious
song entitled "Rosie Deane," the words
and music of which are by Lee Johnson.
Some of these compositions have been
played with great success by the leading
bands and orchestras throughout the
country.
THE Farrand & Votey Co., of Detroit,
have received a contract for the partial re-
building of the great organ in the Mormon
Temple in Salt Lake City, Utah.

signed his position.
REFERRING to C. G. Conn's refusal to
enter the field as gubernatorial candidate
this year, the Evansville, Ind., Journal
says: Of course, there are times when the
public has a right to ask men of superior
and peculiar qualifications to serve its in-
terests, but as a general utle the less such
men have to do with official positions that
interfere with their own concerns, the better
for their peace of mind and the welfare of
their dependents.
