From out this throne sweet music floats,
That sounds from pole to pole,
From east to west its heavenly notes
Now quicken every soul.
From shore to shore they've heard his fame,
And all his praises sing.
The Krell Piano is his throne:
All hail! our gallant king!
The song he heard by woody stream,
And its echo's fairy tale,
The mystic tones of the gurgling rill
That danced through the flowery vale;
The mellow sound of the river's moan,
His boyhood loved so well.

In the chords of the Beautiful Krell.

Petitions in favor of the passage of the
anti-scalping bill, signed by business men
representing 25,000 constant users of trans-
portation, were sent from Chicago to the
Illinois delegation in Washington Satur-
day. The list of signatures includes piano
dealers, board of trade men and retail mer-
chants. The hotel men are said to be par-
ticularly interested in the passage of the bill
on account of convention business. The
railroads say they are unable to grant the
same concessions to conventions in cities like
Chicago as in smaller towns on account of the
scalping of the tickets which always happens
to some extent in the larger cities.
