THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
In flemory of John Evans.
"WILL THE DEPARTMENT STORES BECOME PERMANENT AND
The following are the resolutions passed
unanimously at the recent meeting of the
New York Piano Manufacturers' Associa-
tion in regard to the death of John Evans,
of Newby & Evans, who, for a long period
of years was actively connected with the
Association as officer and member:
Whereas, The members of the New York
Piano Manufacturers' Association have heard
with profound sorrow of the death of their
late vice-president and fellow member, Mr.
John Evans, be it therefore
Resolved, That in the death of Mr. Evans
the Association has lost one of its most hon-
ored and beloved members; a man whose
high character, kindly nature and gentle
manners gave him an unusual share of af-
fection and regard. Not only did these
qualities attract men of all conditions to him,
but they acted as a channel through which
he exerted a quiet force and a mature judg-
ment always for the right.
Resolved, That the members of this Asso-
ciation tender to Mr. Evans' family their
sincere sympathy in this great affliction, and
that a copy of these resolutions be sent to
them, and also be published in two of the
daily newspapers of the city of New York.

Arthur E. Converse, whose home, he said,
was in New York, was fond of listening to
the drowsy tinklings which lull the distant
fold, according to Special Officers Goff and
Kelley of Division 4. In Judge Burke's court
they accused him of larceny of 25 mandolins
from the Tremont Musical Co., 181 Tremont
street. His honor found him guilty, and
for the next two months Artie will have a
chance to serenade the keepers in the common
jail. Wouldn't that tinkle your G string?
—Boston Traveler.
New Rates Are Higher.
N o . 4 — $ 2 5 . 0 0 to the person sending the best original article upon:
-WHAT WOULD BE THE EFFECT OF A PIANO
TRUST

Rail and lake freight rates and differen-
tials from Central Traffic Association ter-
ritory to the Northwest were checked up in
Pittsburgh last week at a joint meeting of
the freight committees interested. On the
whole the new rates are higher than
those of last year, this being due to the recent
increase of lake rates. Removal of the pro
rata basis with the lake lines and the sub-
stitution of the sums of local rates were the
main action taken at the meeting. This ac-
tion was caused by the raise in lake freights.
The meeting was the annual one for check-
ing in the differentials for the coming season
of lake navigation, opening April 22. The
cities affected are those on Lakes Huron,
Michigan and Superior that obtain their
freight from this territory, partly by water
from points on Lake Erie. St. Paul and
Minneapolis are also included in the scope
of the meeting.
The dates upon which the competition Nos. 2, 3 and 4 will close will be announced later.
Alfred Littauer in Charge.
It is our intention to continue the series of prizes and embrace every department of
trade which will be of interest to Manufacturer, Dealer, Salesman and Factory Employee.
The Symphonion Manufacturing Co. an-
nounce that Alfred E. Paillard is no longer
connected with that company. Mr. Alfred
Littauer has taken charge of the company's
New York office at 33 Union Square.
All communications must be addressed "Prize Contest"
EDITOR OF THE REVIEW,
3 East 14th Street, New York.
W. N. Van Matre, president of the Schu-
mann Piano Co.. of Chicago, made some ex-
cellent connections during a recent trip to
the East. The Schumann new style E is be-
coming quite a favorite with the dealers.
