musical conductor and composer, died in
Boston, on Monday, aged 72. He was one
of eight children, three of whom became noted
in the musical world—William O., Henry
S. and J. E. The latter was the husband of
the celebrated prima donna Marie Rose. In
1879 ^ e degree of doctor of music was con-
ferred upon him by Hamilton College. He
devoted much of his time to the composition
of vocal music for the church and public
school and to choruses for choral societies.

A good piano is a first-class investment.
There is no manufactured article that will
give a larger return for the money invested
than a thoroughly good piano. The delight
that it brings into the musical home cannot
be measured by words. The piano dealer
knows this well by experience. If it were
