Baltimore, Md., June 19, 1899.
Mr. Charles Stieff, of the Charles M.
Stieff piano factory, sailed Saturday from
New York on the Holland-American Line
steamship Amsterdam for Europe, where
he will travel for about four months. The
employees of the factory on Saturday
afternoon enjoyed themselves at a picnic
at Darlcy Park given them by Mr. Stieff.
Prior to Mr. Stieff's departure, Messrs.
John H. Pfeiffer, Herman G. Kuhst and
Marion F. Weaver, committee represent-
ing the employes of Charles M. Stieff's
piano factory, waited on him and in the
name of the employes presented him with
a handsome floral design. Mr. Pfeiffer
made the presentation with the following
remarks:
" Mr. Stieff—Your employes, hearing of
your intended departure for Europe on a
visit, and wishing to show to you their
esteem as their friend and- employer, wish
3-011 God-speed on your long voyage. My
fellow-work men desire me to present to

A BIG THING FOR THE TRADE
The Wonder Self-Composer
(PATENT APPLIED FOR)
: ,-
\
Not a toy, but a remarkable invention by which any
person can write hundreds of different marches (two-
step) for piano or organ without previous knowledge
of musical composition. Read what great composers
sav about it:
FRED N. INNES:
JOHN PHILIP SOUSA :
•" It is an unique and marvelous in-
vention,"
ALES5ANDRO LIBERATI i
"The most clever musical device I
have ever seen."
D. W. REEVES:
" I congratulate the inventor. The
SELF-COMPOSER is all that is claimed
for it."
"An instructive and meritorious in-
vention that should create a large
demand."

An Unsuccessful Convict Organ-
Builder.
The two new organs, which had been
constructed in Sing Sing prison for use in
the new Protestant and Roman Catholic
chapels, have been discovered, according
to Warden Johnson, to be practically use-
less. The organs were built during the
last two years by John Howard, the con-
vict who was discharged from the prison
about two weeks ago. By building the
organs he was supposed to have saved the
state about $5,000, and for this he received
a commutation of his sentence of ten years.
Warden Johnson says that the organs could
not be used at the services last Sunday at
the opening of the new chapels, and that
they will have to be rebuilt.
