JaT-or PIANOS AND ORGANS. Open Evenings. The handsomest Piano ever shown "Washington. E have just mage to spe- cial order and have on exhibition in our front window probably the handsom- est piano ever seen in this city. Six months ‘were required to build it. It is a Bradbury, fin- ished in white enamel and gold, which requires more care and skill than any other finish known. The action and interior construction of this superb in- “ strument is of the highest grade and the tone is of that sweet singing quality which has en- deared the Bradbury to its 40,000 or mofe users. The price of the piano was $800. This veritable “pearl” of piano architecture is destined to grace one of the swell new homes of the West End, and is the first to be filled of a series of special or- ders from leading society la- dies for White Enamel Pianos, which are now becoming the rage in fashionable homes. The lady for whom this piano was made will only allow us to retain it for exhibition purposes a few days more, and those who desire to examine it should call at once. One of the things our factories pride themselves on is their abil- ity to make pianos to order after any design, no matter how diffi- cult or intricate, and we will be glad to submit estimates for specially designed cases at any time. The Bradbury Pianos Have served 7 terms in the White House, Being used by all the Presidents from Grant to McKinley. Many beautiful letters have been written to the manufacturers of the Bradbury by the members of the official families similar to this sincere tribute paid by the late Mrs. Caroline Scott Harri- son, wife of Benjamin F. Harri- son, then President of the U.S. Mr. FREEBORN SMITH, Manufacturer of the Bradbury Piano, 1225 Pa. ave., Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: It gives me great pleasure to state that the Bradbury Upright Grand Piano. which was placed in my private reception room at the White House March 11, 1889, has given me and my many friends wh» have used it much pleasure and enjoyment, and It ts with the greatest satisfaction that I certify to its pecullar sweetness and mellow- ness of tone, superior singing qualities and general excellence. Very respectfully, CAROLINE SCOTT HARRISON. Bradbury Factory Wareraoms, 1225 Pa. Avi FREEBORN G. SMITH, MANU W. P. Van Wickle, Manager. Open Evenings.

TO SAVE TEN MILLIONS, of Aim Mr.- Lo vd's BUHL Chairman Loud of the House committee on post offices has been working during the recess on the report of the committee on the Loud bill, and has practically complet- ed it. He believes that the measure will effect a saving of at least $10,000,000 an- nually, and will wipe out the enormous de- ficit that confronts the Post Office Depart- ment every year. Mr. Loud believes that the bill is much stronger this session than last, and while not absolutely confident, be- Neves it will finally carry. The opposition Probably will be directed in the main to obstructive tactics, delaying consideration of the measure. This is what killed it in the Senate at the last session, it having passed the House, but died on the Senate calen- dar. The report will be submitted to the House the first or second day after Con- gress reconvenes. The bill is a sweeping one and eliminates several volumes and sample copies from the second class of mail matter. ——_—___-e-—_______ Favors P ing the Lists. In the annual report of Commissioner Evans of the Pension office the publication of a complete list of those who draw pen- sions from the government was recom- mended. It is the purpose of Commisston- er Evans to introduce a bill in Congress after the holidays authorizing this. The commissioner believes much good would accrue from the publication of such a list and many mistakes avoided. Such a list was published in 1883, but has become Post Office eliminations, OCEAN TRAVEL.

Weiler, representing the t Wash- ington Citizens’ Association, called upon the Commissioners this morning for the purpose of requesting them to recommend an addition to Senate bill 2547, providing for the extension of the Capital Traction road. The addition asked for is as follows: “Also beginning at the main track: the interesection of Pennsylyania avy and Sth street southeast and thence ea erly along said Pennsylvania avenue with double tracks to the circle at the wesi- ern approach of the Pennsylvania bri: and said extension shall be comple within the period of one year from passage of this bill.” In support of their request the Miitee tiled a written statement, sho’ among other things, that the propo: extension would accommodate the %; th com- people who reside in that section of 1 city and county. The delegation was in- formed that the Commissioners are in favor of the extension, and, at the r quest of the committee, will either prepare a new bill providing for such extension er will provide for it in the shape of an amendment to Senate bill 2547, the Com- missioners explaiming that they would pre- fer to favorably report on such new bill or amendment rather than to suggest an amendment to the present Senate biil. a ager CRUSADE ANNIVERSARY. Appropriate Servic by Union, W. C. T. U. The regular meeting of Chapin Union, W. C. T. U., was heid yesterday at 2 p.m. The subject Introduced for the consideration of the ladies by the president, Mrs. Cohen, was “The Temperance Crusade,” which movement was inaugurated in Ohio, De- cember 23, 1874. “Rock of Ages” and “How Firm a Foundation,” two of the many hymns used by the crusaders, were sung. The 146th Psalm, the favorite Scripture of was then read. Incidents were rela Platt, president of the D: .» Hamlin, Miss Kessler, Mrs. Cohen and votion and of *he crusade. The W. C. T. U. and the Anti-Salooa League are the outgrowth of the crusade, and the first meeting of the former Washington was hed in 1875, under the name of the Woman’s Temperance Union. —_ HAD A VISION. Chapin ed by Mrs. tric M lity of the nobie women effect that in 1895 he had a vision in which he saw the election of William McKinley as President of the United States. Mr. Lewis, in mentioning the c.rcumstances, incidental- ly wrote that he would not be averse to ac- cepting a position as inspector of scale Of course, Mr. Lewis was not aware that tor some reason or other the framers of the District government had negiected to make provision for the position of inspector ot scales, nor was he aware probably that if offices should be bestowed on ail those who toresaw the election of the Ohio man as President, Congress would have to get to- gether and make several new berths to ac- commodate them. But a man cannot see everything, or Mr. Lewis would have seen that the Commissioners would refer his communication to Sanitary Officer Frank, who has almost exciusive jurisdiction of those people who are in the habit of “seein’ things.” Yet, that is just what the Com- missioners have done with Mr. Lewis’ com- munication. ie REGARDED AS FAVORABLE. The Outlook for the bil. There is a very favorable outlook for the passage of the bankrupicy bill, and even the opponents of the measure concede their conviction that it will pass both houses. The majority of the democrats House of Representatives, in all proba- bility, will vote against it. They feel that its involuntary feature wiil allow the cred- itor class of the east to oppress the poor in the west when the latter are the least able to be borne down upon, while the vol- untary phase of the proposed legislation will encourage dishonesty. The opponents of the bill, however, have felt it useless to organize to defeat the measure, and they will simply put themselves on record. The bill has been reported to the House and will be taken up very soon.

A recent dispatch from Havana says: Dr. Zertucha, who was the physician of the late General Antonio Maceo, has been ap- pointed mayor of Bejucal, this province. Zertucha has belonged in his day to all the political parties in Cuba. At one time he was a bandit in the Vuelta Abajo, and his record was very discreditable. It was quite inexplicable to the friends of Genera! Maceo that he kept the physician on his staff for so long a period, notwithstanding the warnings given him. Maceo used to say that Zertuchu’s fault was his drinking bit. ate the .time the famous Cuban com- mander was killed, Zertucha was charged with leading him and his party into the fatal ambush, but he issued long state- ment, in which he tried to show that Maceo met his death in battle in the usual way. Zertucha also bitterly assailed the honor of the other Cuban leaders. After the killing of Maceo the dishonored phy- sician was allowed to go free by the Span- fards, and it was said and generally be- well lined lMeved that his pockets were with Spanish gold. —__—__+e+-___—_ A Whisk Broom With a Slanting Edge From the Philadelphia Publie Ledger.
