Wedding.
Krell Out at Wanamaker's.
As announced in last week's Review,
Albert Krell, of Cincinnati, was East in
connection with some important moves
proposed by his house. Last Monday
he notified John Wanamaker that after
that date the agency for the Krell instru-
ments would be withdrawn from him in
Philadelphia and New York. Mr. Krell
has not as yet announced as to the future
arrangements made for his instruments in
these cities. The Krell pianos were the
first instruments taken on by Wanamaker
when he added the sale of pianos to his
business.
Death of Eduard Sueur.
Sunday afternoon, March 3, Eduard
Sueur, a valued employee of Lyon &
Healy, passed away. Mr. Sueur was a
native of Ste. Croix, Switzerland, and had
been with Lyon & Healy for over twenty
years. He had charge of the Music Box
Repair Shop, and was an expert in his line.
Nothing too intricate or complicated in
music box construction could be pre-
sented to him. He was able to grasp
all the new principles used in the
American-made boxes and was thoroughly
at home in the most difficult problems of
comb-adjusting. He was at work Wednes-
day, and was apparently in vigorous health
when attacked by pleurisy. His death,
therefore, came as a shock. Mr. Sueur
was a man of the kindliest disposition and
most unfailing good humor. His loss will
be deeply mourned by all who knew him,
The floral tributes from the firm and from
his comrades were numerous and costly.
He leaves a wife and one child.
Jacob Jottings.
C. A. Jacob, of Jacob Bros., left town
on Monday with his wife and family for
Florida, where he will remain several
weeks.
The Alex. Ross Piano Co., recently in-
corporated by Max Jacob, C. A. Jacob and
Alex. Ross, under the laws of New York
State, will do business in New York city
and have also arranged for large warerooms
at 714 Penn avenue, Pittsburg, Pa.
J. W. Stevens, Jacobs' ambassador, start-
ed Monday on a brief Eastern trip.
A Hardman Beauty.
Several examples of the latest Hardman
uprights, Grecian style, are now on exhibi-
tion at the Hardman Fifth avenue ware-
rooms, on the main floor. One of these
instruments, with inlaid paneling and
special wreath design, is a handsome speci-

to the Hardman firm.
Will be Vigorously Pushed.
As announced in a neighboring column
the Symphonion interests will be vigor-
ously pushed by the new president, Mr.
Geo. Varrelman. He has appointed two
traveling men this week in the persons of
Mr. Alfred Littauer, who for many years
has been with the Otto concern, and Mr.
Robt. Duffin, who was formerly with the
Paiilard Co.
