London hearing this week of a damage

contaminating his establishment's water
supply.
Lr. Thres, one of the greatest Eng

Tha bacillus, he said. Is so minute that
a drop of water may contain a popu
lation - equalling that or the entire
world.
"I've swallowed millions," ha re
marked cheerfully.
"How did you like them?" Inquired
the Judge. "I'm curious."
"I enjoyed" the pleasures of ant lega
tion for three weeks,'' said tha doctor.

"It waa an accident, however," he
continued. "i was testing water said
to contain typhoid bacilli. The weather

"The player piano Is growing rapidly
aa a factor in the manufacture of
pianos. In fact, their manufacture la
In Its Infancy, comparatively speaking."
said Q. F. Johnson, general manager of
Hnerman, Clay at Co., when seen in his
offices yesterday. "The time is not far
distant when most pianos sold will have
the player attachment. The great pian
ists iook wun more iavor upon mem
than ever before. The player piano will
be considered an aid even' to the fin
ished musician. The line of Dlaver
pianos which we carry as well aa pianos
I am satisfied is the strongest to be
had. In faat, we have notably strength
ened our line of players In the recent
past. It la the Increased favor shown
our players month by month that con
vinces me that but few if any of us
can predict the brilliant future which
awalta the player piano. For example,
our business for January, 1908, was far
better than during the corresponding
month of lost year. '
Bnerman. Clay ft Co. have recently
fitted ud at considerable eioense a
player department. Each make of play
er is in a separate parlor, and the selec
tion of Instruments is as fine as one
would expect to see In the best sales
rooms of a large eastern city. One
notea here the A. B. Chase players. In
cluding the famous "Artlstano. the In
strument that has created such a furore
all over the country of late. The A. B.
Chase has been- styled "the artist's
player." It Is an acknowledged fact
that the execution of difficult pieces of
music on the Chase player Is compara
tively easy. It is a step In advance of
all other players.
Another player, the mechanism of
which la acknowledged to be among the
best, and at the same time the most
reasonable In price, Sg the Kingsbury.
In the perfection of Its expression de
vices. Its ease of operation, simplicity
and superiority of Its mechanical con
struction Is found the key note of tbe
remarkabla popularity of this, the new
est of the player pianos.
Another player piano carrledaby Sher
man, Clay & Co. that Is most favorably
considered bv all musically Inclined
folks Is the Sohmer-Cecilian. Its con
struction marks Innovations In many
respects.
Taken all In all, the players, for there
are a variety or styles and prices in
each make, afford a selection for all
tastes and classes, for the poor man as
well as the rich.
The Inner Flayer Piano Is logically
the Dlano for the professional man. the
merchant, the mechanic or the music
lover In any walk of life. Playable by
hand or by means of a perforated music
roll. It brings to the home an ability on
the part of every member of the family
to day. and clay well, any and every
composition known to the musical
world, be It the marches of Sousa. the
nocturnes of Chopin or tha operas of
Wagner.

Vancouver, Feb. 8. The possibility of
ths prosecution of J. H. Hawthorn-
thwalte, M. L. A., of Nanaimo, by the
crown on a charge of having uttered
seditious and inflammatory speech last
Sunday night at a meeting he addressed
In Vancouver. Is a subject of interesting
discussion today In the legislative halls.
The attack of Mr. Hawthornthwaite
was directed against Lieut. Gov. Duns-
mulr, and its exceeding bitterness has
attracted great attention. The variety
and volume of epithets applied by Mr. I
Hawthornthwaite to the lieutenant gov-!
ernor are without parallel la the history
of Canada In criticism of the acts of
anv reriresentatlve of the crown.
Whether the crown will undertake the
prosecution of Mr. Hawthornthwaite is
a matter which It is believed will, be de
termined In the course of a few days as
tha ps is now under consideration and
information regarding the utterance of
Mr. Hawthotnthwaite in Vancouver is
belnsr secured.

clares that every one is guilty of an In
