NEW ORLEANS. Sept. St. Because
someone had stolen his clothing. W. B.
Rohltnan. a New Orleans merchant, re
turning from New York, was compelled
to leave his Puftamn berth and enter a
quarantine csunp near here in his pajamas,
without shoes .or hat. He was puzsled
what .to do for a white, as there were
several women om the train and no one
wm wilting to loan Mm a sail of dothe.
He remained In camp the required time,
however, and after he had hoarded the
train for Near Orleans a thoughtful pas
senger furnishes Mr. JCohlman with a
pair of light-blue trousers to match hie
pajamas.
Two detectives, who attempted to go to
Mobile after a fugitive from justice, were
balked In their efforts by the Alabama
health authorities. The latter feared the
prisoner would develop yellow fever and
bustled him- on a tmln regardless of roaui
sltton papers and against the ooductor.s
objection. The passengers became
alarmed end the fugitive was locked m
a boxcar, while the detective were fumi
gated end detained, eventually being sent
back without their prisoner.
Ten thousand laborers are wanted br
the Louisiana suamrpianters to harvest
this season's crop, but the men will prob
ably be unable to reaoh the plantations
on account of quarantine restrictions.
The health officials are certain that
they now have control of the disease in
the city and are devoting all of thoir
cnersjles t stamping It 4ut In the out
lying districts.

Captain Berry. "Ewonty-nlnth Infantry,

of some depositions- That factional strife

phatically denied by the officers of the
Fourteenth Infantry. Colonel Irons, in
speaking of the affair, said:
"Captain Berry does not belong to this
regiment, and is only at this post for the
purpose of a trial. It is a mistaken idea
that gets afloat that because a trial Is
held here It has some implications with
the Fourteenth. Lleutonant Hamilton,
whose name was mentioned In reference
to the Berry ease, has no connection with
It, and In regard to this I wish to say
that I am conversant with the Hamilton
case, which was a ourt-martlal held for
.some trivial infraction of discipline. Of
the Berry oase I have no knowledge. It
is being tried by a board of officers ap- V

lions. Brents entered bis Lou Lady in the
same manner and numerous other entries
were made. The race was called and
took place according to the programme
and . Lord Lovelace took itrst place In
both heats and Lou Lady second place,
and it was so declared by the presiding
judgc. The stake was $300, and Tongue
alleges that .the entrance money to be
added thereto was $38. He avers that
the tirst money was $139 and the second
ami 'demands judgment for the total,
$15.
Ex-Secretary Wylle A. Moores says that
the controversy between Tongue and the
State Fair Board arose out -of the fact
that there were only two starters In the
race for the Juvenile stake and after the
race the board declared Its intention to
divide the money between the winners
in a different proportion than was . an
nounced upon the entry blanks. This
right they claimed under the rules.
Tongue contended that If the board chose
to change the manner of dividing the
purse, the intention should have been an
nounced before the horses started. The
matter wag taken before the National
Trotting Association and deckled adverse
ly to Tongue, and this action was brought
to test the question in the courts.

ot music te any and every member of the

viun. irriy xwj oi tnese instruments
are now to he found in the homes of
refinement, culture and wealth of the Pt-
etnc northwest, all ot them supplied by
the house of Ellers.
The Pianola Piano, as its name indi

Pianola in one complete, compact In
strument. Thus It Is a union of the
most popular musical instrument of mod
ern times and the means by which anyon
can ptay it. it is in every particular a
perfect piano. leaving nothing to be de
sired in the matter of tene, action or
appearance.
The Pianola Piano has been aptly
style "The Firat Comnlete Piano."
for the reason that ft te the first
piano ever produced which can- be
played with artistic effect by
everybody, irrespective of any pre
vious study or knowledge of music In

anos are also represented by one or more
specimens of every catalogue style, in
cluding the new French or dull-finished
Circassian walnut case. Prices are $K0
and S7C0. Terms. $65 down and SIS monthly.
Columns of praise and commendation
could be written about the beautiful Weber
Pianola Piano, but suffice it to say that
the most painstaking, careful workman
ship and the most costly and most de

embodied In the construction of these
Webers. Prices. $90 for the small style.

anola Pianos, including a duplicate of tho
one selected by Lieutenant Peary for the
'Roosevelt" on Its Polar expedition. The
latter is a six-octave instrument, and
costs $5S0 complete with metrostyle.
The Metrostyle Pianola
The Pianola is a cabinet containing a
mechanism by means of which it is pos
sible for anyone to play upon the piano,
whether or not he knows ne note from
another.
On the music roll used in playing the
Pianola are markings, indicatlntr- whether
rthe different passages of the music should
Be played ioucl or soil, or iast or siow,
and also when the pedal should be used.
The Metrostyle is the name given to
a device for indicating the phrasing or
the time for each Individual note upon
the mudlc roll.
In form the Metrostyle Is a pointer, at-
Inched to the time (or Tempo) lever of
1)m Pianola, with which the operator fol
lows a red line which has been marked
upon the roll by an authoritative pianist,
a Hoffman, a Paderewskl. and even the
great composers themselves.
With these devices music of the highest
ordeC'expresslve and acceptable to sever
est crtlcs, may be produced by the merest
novice.
Special attention has been paid In or
ganizing the present World's Fair displ.iv
to show Pianolas of latest pattern in f !'
the different shadings of finishes, so that
every style of piano, from the dark, old
time ebony cases to the various shades of
later-day mahogany, walnut and fancy
oaks can be supplied to match.
Pianolas with Metrostyle cost $250 r
$30v. Splendid library facilities, giving ac
cess to all that is best and. "desirable in
music, are furnished our patrons at $20
per annum.
The Orchestrelle
There is. after all. no music comparable
to that of the modern orchestra.
The Orchestrelle embodies In one instru
ment, playable and controllable by one
person, all the beauty and wonderful va
riety ef tone found heretofore only in the
complete orchestra.
The repertoire of the Orchestrelle M
practically a catalogue of the orchestral
music of the world, and all this mulc
may be played by the owner of an Or
chestrelle. even though he be entirely
lacking In musical education or knowledge.
The music rolls for the Orchestrelle are
marked similar to those for the Pianola
so that the proper Interpretation may be
imparted to a composition. Interesting
descriptions of these orchestral number;
are published and supplied to Orchestrelle
owners.
During this exposition OrehestrelIs will
be shown from the simplest forms, cost
ing $150. through a vast array of choice
instruments in oak. mahogany and fancy
walnut casings, at $300. $S00, $400, $720. $930.
$t2C0. 3130 and Up to $3S00.
The Pianola's Sister
Another recent addition to the Pianola
family is the sister of the Pianola, tho
Aeriola. This little instrument will be
found most desirable where the consider
ation of price must be taken into account.
No other piano-playing device, not made
by the Aeolian Company, is superior to
the Aeriola. and it cost3 $1S5. $1. or $135,
according to case, using regular Pianola
rolls, with library privileges same as the
others.
