TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: On April 16th, 1498, the Bradbury Piano Co., 1225 Ra. ave. nw., requested me to select x number (unknown to them). which I did, and placed same in a sealed envelope, and deposited the en- Yelope in one of our safe deposit boxes, I retaining oné of the keys and Mr. Frank B. Noyes of ‘The Evening Star Co. has held the other key. ‘The Bradbury Company Informed me that the number I had se- Jected would determine the award of the new Bradbury Upright Grand Plano, and said envelope was not to be opened until June Ist. In pursuance with the request of the Bradbury Piano Co. Mr. Noyes and myself have this day opened the envelope, and we de- : clare the number therein contained to be No. 36,704. Upon gxamination of the numbers of the pianos entered and registered on the books of the Bradbury Company we find the nearest to be No. 35,017 Chickering Square, owned by Miss Annie 3B.

Gen. Keifer of Obio Said to Be Under Consideration. It is understood that the appointment of an additional major general from the vol- unteer force is under consideration. The President's desire has been to equalize the selections as nesrly as possible between the north and the south. His first tions from civil life were Generals Wilso of Delaware, Lee of Virginia, Sewell of New Jersey and Wheeler of Alabama, all of whom had served with distinction in the civil war. Gen. Sewell declined, and Gen. Butler of South Carolina was subsequently named. Gen. Grenville Dodge was tender- ed an appointment, but declined on account of age. It remains thus to make a choice from the north and attention has been di- rected to Gen. J. Warren Keifer of Ohio as the~most conspicuous and successful volunteer general of the last war who is available. He had a brilliant military ea- reer, was greatly distinguished as a fight- er, and was recognised -by Grant, Sher- man and Sherider as ore of the best sol- diers of thé ne: It is believed that his eppcintment is - advisement. pe Rater anh peer MONEY CRISIS IN SPAIN.
