A casual glance through a show window or a show case will not reveal the shortcomings nor the defects of inferior glass. Upon close inspection you will find that the glass blanks are thinner, the color lifeless, the moulds, instead of being entirely cut by hand, are merely recut over pressed patterns. Then, again, when finished this inferior glass is polished with acid and only re tains its brilliancy for a short while. Such cut glass never finds an opening wedge in this store. Today we have ready for your inspection a most complete ex hibition of rich American cut glass, heavy, sparkling, scintillating pieces deeply cut in attractive patterns, with a lasting brilliancy. Beautiful examples in bowls, nappies, dishes, ferneries, vases, tumblers, cruets and carafes.

The sign over the door informs you that the shop has been in existence for almost two centuries. They make a specialty of mar- bles, glassware and baskets. These baskets are faithful reproductions of antiques in popularity three and four centuries ago. A Yankee manufacturer on pleasure bent admiring the beauty of these baskets was at once struck with the idea that these could be reproduced in America. Purchas ing a number of samples he re turned to New York, and the baskets now on sale show how shrewdly he reckoned. Compared with the Italian bas kets it is impossible to detect the difference. In price the Yankee beats the Italian, for there is no duty to pay. You pay half as much here as you would in Italy. Ours is the only store fortunate enough to secure a representative assortment of these beautiful bas kets.

MONEY PLANT COMPLETE Chnrt Given by Imprisoned Maker of Spurious Treasury Xotes Directs Secret Service Men to Print ing Press and Dies. SEATTLE. Dec. 5. The printing plant of Albert Leon, the celebrated counterfeiter who was arrested In New York October 9. was brought to Seattle today from Nootka Island. British Columbia, packed la three trunks, and will be shipped to New York at once, to be used in the trial of Leon. The hiding place of the outfit on Nootka Island was found from the fol lowing description furnished to Secret Service officers by Leon after his ar rest: "Measure 200 feet back of the cabin on Nootka Island; pace 20 feet east and an equal number south, climbing down dark ravines and through an almost Impenetrable forest. Travel in a neml clrcle due north 15 more paces and pause before three fallen trees. There you will find the treasure." Secret Service Asent mover, with the precious plant, was on the steam ship Tees when she was fog-bound in Kympiot Sound last week, and that was Ab E. G.

In usual liquid form or chocolated tablets called Saraataba. , one reason why the revenue cutter Ta homa hastened to the rescue of the Tees. Glover and his trunks were taken off the steamer and brought here. In the hidden recesses of a forest on Nootka Island, which is tucked away on the coast of Vancouver Island, Glo ver and Thomas B. Foster, captain In charge of Secret Service work, found Leon's cabin several months ago. Much Incriminating material was obtained, but the outfit itself was missing. Then it was that Eastern Treasury agents Induced Leon to draw the chart describ ing the outfit's location. Included In the outfit Is the blue seal for stamping Treasury notes, dies, a whole drugstore of chemicals, an unique printing press Invented by Leon himself for stamping the paper and pressing together the notes with silk threads between, and the photographlo outfit, with which the notes were pho tographed onto dies. A banknote purporting to be that of the First National Bank of Portland was the fourth bank note believed to be Albert Leon's work that came to the notice of the secret service authorities on the Pacific Coast. This was located here shortly after the finding of the note of the Crocker National Bank of San Francisco, which was secured October 7 In Portland. All the found notes which are believed to have been tho work of Leon and his associates were considered good in typographical ways, but a little off color. Leon did not counterfeit many notes on Pacific Coant banks, largely, it is said, because his own plant was on this Coast, on Vancouver Island. Few notos of the four banks, which he at tempted In Oregon and in California, were marie, and the damage done by Leon on the Pacific Coast is consid ered slight.

MUST PIANOLA PIANOS and Shall Be Sold or Rented Before the Holidays, No Matter What the Sacrifice PAY ONLY $8.00 A MONTH THE PIANOLA PIANO WAS consid ered the very best Player Piano up to some time ago. But the many improve ments developed in the Autopiajao have relegated the other instrument far to the rear. There are now more than twice as many Autopianos sold than all other makes of Player Pianos combined. WE HAD TO CHOOSE between the Autopiano and the instrument made by the combine. We should have been guilty of faithlessness to the interests of the thousands of people who buy of us an nually, the people who repose confidence in us, if we had not decided in favor of the Autopiano. WE ARE NOW DETERMINED to get rid of all Pianola Pianos, no matter what the sacrifice. The injunction secured by the Combine recently, whereby it was in tended to compel us to adhere to certain big retail prices, has been dissolved. Eilers Music House has the right to sell Pianola Pianos at any price it sees fit, provided it offers them as so-called "second-hand." Thus it is that Pianola Pianos that have never been used, and are the latest improved types, are ticketed in our salesroom as "second-hand." Our Special Offer Pianola Pianos at the reduced prices, as here tofore advertised, on payments of $8 down and $8 a month. Remember there are no extras Rent a Pianola Piano at $8 a month, and if, at any time within a year, you determine to buy it, we will allow all rent paid toward purchase price. Nothing could be fairer nothing more -liberal. On this basis we ought to dispose of every Pianola Piano in our establishment be fore the Holidays. EILERS MUSIC HOUSE Now the Nation's Largest.
