GREAT FACTORY PIANO SALE!
COR. GR?NBY AND CHARLOTTE STS.
Are you a REASONABLE person ? If so, LISTEN.
HPHERE are two ways of buying a Piano, a right way and a wrong1 way. The wrong way is to go to some firm that you
* have known for years, and without making any further investigation as to prices or quality of instrument, buy a piano
of them and pay their price for it. Is your time so very VALUABLE that you can afford to lose $100 instead of spending
a half a day in getting prices of more than one firm, and then buy WHERE your REASON tells you it is best for you TO
buy. Again, the right way to buy a piano is to go FIRST to the firm that you would like to buy from and after getting
their very LOWELT PRICES, then come to OUR PLACE, and if we cannot show you that we can save you from $50.00
to $100.00 on each and every style that they have offered you, then you can go and buy from the other firm. Since this
SPECIAL SALE has opened we have been told by good parties to whom we have SOLD, that they had been to every place
in the city, and that we had saved them at least $100. Just think of a new $300 piano at $207, and a $200 piano at only
$117. Don't wait till this sale is over and miss the chance of a lifetime.

The meeting begun nt Trinity Metho?

Indications point to a gracious outpour?

The Entertainment Committee of the
Norfolk Protestant Hospital was at the
Montlccllo in full force yesterday
morning nni went nY">ul tfaS-Wtock in n
way to be commended. Several hun?
dred postals for signatures were sent
out with circulars to people containing
information. These postals are to be
signed and returned to the chairman
on or before Thursday, the 12th instant.
The committee feels greatly en?
couraged, and success eeems quite cer?
tain; and that a long pull, a strong
pull, and a pull all together Is all that
Is needed to further the hospital work
and mako it second to none in the
country- The committee deserves the
gratitude of our people for their pluck
and energy In pushing their efforts
against all odds and some discourage?
ments to give to our people this
splendid opportunity and value received
to every ticket holder. Let the Pro?
testant people rally around our hospital
now and help the managers to establish
a course of entertainments which shall
be lasting and helpful in the years to
come and which will speak eloquently
for Norfolk to the outside world.
TIlP Follow IrviTS urr,
The recent yellow fever fright at the
Soldiers' Home. Hampton, Va., raised
wldefclt Interest In the disease and its
treatment. Yellow fever Is treated in the
simplest way possible although It Is a
terrible disease. Perfect sanitary arrange?
ments are Insisted upon, the supply of
milk and water must bo absolutely pure,
slmplo medicines are administered and
tho bowels are kept free and regular. Jf
this last measure were strictly observed
by every one. sick r well, we would be
a magnificent race, mentally and physi?
cally. There Is nothing better than Hos
totier's Stomach Hitters for cleansing
tho system. A dose three times a day will
brim: new Ufo nnd happiness It will
positively cure constipation aiid dyspep

la nothing to equal it. Every druggist In
tho country keeps it. and a private Reve?

Knllsfenry's Hesitation, .
(By Telegraph to VIrglnlan-Pllot.)
London, Oct. 9.?The complete dearth
of news since afternoon from the Cape,
on which all attention i3 riveted, is
poorly compensated for by the muss of
minor details published concerning the
preparations for the dispatch of the
army corps and speculation as to the
length and character of, tho debates
when Parliament meets. Iu official cir?
cles there is said to be apprehension
that the radicals will offer protracted
opposition to the government's policy
In South Africn, which will probably
make prorogation and Christmas near
neighbors.
Lord Salisbury's whip to the Lords,
Issued to-nighit, says Parliament will
deal with matters of grave moment.
AMMUNITION LANDED.
Tho latest dispatch from Lourenzo
Marinies, relating to the chasing of the
steamer Ouelph by the cruiser Philo?
mel, caused some stir, especially as it
was announced thmt the Guelnh had
landed at Durban il l cases of ammuni?
tion for Urn Boers. There Is a pretty
general feeling thai ammunition ought
not to be allowed to be forwarded.
Lord Wantage, President of the
British Red Cross, will shontly issue ah
appeal for contributions to aid in the
work of the society, which, he says,
will provide two hospital railway trains
and a. hospital ship. The Duke of
Westminster and Lord Wantage have
given JC 1,000 each and Baron Roths?
child has raised ?11,000 among his
friends.
THE RESERVES.
Some indication of the War Office
estimate of the duration of the cam?
paign is given by tlie; fact that the
authorities have contracted for eight
months supplies of broad and other
military requisites rendered necessary
by the absence of the bulk of the army
?sei t ice corps; whom the?War?Office
thus evidently calculates will be at
home again by tho beginning of May.
It appears that although the War Office
called up 25,000 reservists, only the pick
of them, some 5,000, will bo retained
with the colors. The authorities are
pleased at the application of a number
of reservists belonging to the un
mobllizcd classes who are volunteering
for foreign service. The War Office
announces that wives of reservists will
get six pence and each child two pence
daily while the husbands and fathers
are retained with tho colors.
UNWISE POLICY.
Baron Twecdmouth presided at a
meeting of the Council of London Radi?
cals to-night, which; after a speech by
Lord Twcedmouth, deploring the unwise
policy of tho government, whose dis?
patches, lie declared, were not couched
in conciliatory terms, adopted a resolu?
tion in favor of arbitration and calling
upon the government to lako stops
tending to the settlement of the diffi?
culty with tho Transvaal by negotia?
tions for arbitration.
BIG MILITARY PREPARATIONS.
London, Oct. 0.?The vastness of
Groat Britain's military preparation?
seemingly out of all proportion to the
work in hand in South Africa?was not
fully released by the public until the
War Office announced that 2."i,000 re?
serves had already been summoned to
re-join the colors.
As a matter of fact, General Sir Rcd
vers Buller will have command of
twice as many British soldiers as the
Duke of Wellington, the conquerer of
the first Napoleon, ever saw collected
on one battlefield.
Tho reasons back of this lavish dis?
play are probably a fear of a native
rising and possibly a conviction of the
advisability of showing Europe that
Groat Britain Is prepared to resent any
action resulting from the prevalent
continental ill-will.
In this connection, the action of the
American Department of State and the
friendly statements of President Mc?
Kinley and Secretary of State Hay
published here are heartily welcomed
as a happy return for Great Britain's
refusal to sanction- continental inter?
vention In tho war between Ihe United
States nnd Spain.
THE BOERS WAITING.
As the Boers failed to attack -Natal
when tho Colony was vulnerable, it le
beginning to be felt that they nre pur?
suing a deliberate policy of waiting for
the British proposals, remaining In the
meantime on the defensive, in the hope
of thus winning the sympathies of the
world and, perhaps, the support of
other nations and leaving to Great Brl
tain the ignomy of starting hostilities.
Jf they await the advance of General
Sir Reavers Butler, it 1s conceivable
that peace will not be broken during
the present year. Should that prove the
case and should the alleged wastage In
the Boer commandoes continue tho
force confronting the British com?
manding general will be neither as
?numerous nor us eillclent as that now
encamped along tho Natal border.
PROPOSALS.
Events have thus seemed to shape
themselves to secure ample pause for
consideration. All tho proposals In the
correspondence between President Stein
of the Orange Free State, and Sir Al?
fred Mlitier, British High Commission?
er In South Africa, show that the ne?
gotiations were proceeding up to Oc?
tober Gth and that neither despaired
of peacc^ Sir Alfred Mllner saying ho
was sure any reasonable proposal would
be favorably considered by the British
government.
President Stein's virtual propasal of
a neutral zone, to be created pending
further attempts at conciliation, meets
with considerable approval.
PARLIAMENT.
A rumor is current that political In?
terest in the Situation may shortly in?
crease, as it is a'lleged that the man?
agers of the Unionist party in Great
Britain aro strongly urging the gov?
ernment to dissolve Parliament after
tho necessary credit Is voted and to go
to the electorate In a parliamentary
general election upon the broad Issue of
the government's policy in Soutli Afri?
ca.
The real Intentions of the Premier,
tho Marquis of Salisbury, may be ex?
pected to develop shortly- As at pres?
ent arranged, the work of tho session,
which will begin October 17, will con?
sist of the Queen's speech, dealing ex?
clusively with the South African ques?
tion, the voting of the credit nnd the
passage of an appropriation bill. This
will occupy three weeks.
The legislative plans of tho govern?
ment will nbt bo disclosed until Pnrlin.
ment meets again In February, nnd no
private bills will be allowed to bo In?
troduced.
Owing to tho drain on tho military re?
sources, nil colonial reliefs have been
stopped for a year.
RUMORS AND RUMORS.
According to the latest advices from
Johannesburg, the natives, who seem to
have been reinforced by the la wless ele?
ment, are getting out of hand, and
anarchy is threatened.
From the Continent comes an un?
confirmed report that preparations are
being made for an organized attack
upon the mines by tHe natives and the
destruction of the plants.
A report is in circulation hero of an
organization of a corps of volunteers
to aid the Burghers, but it lacks con?
firmation.
SALISBURY HESITATES.
The Berlin correspondent of tho
Standard says:
"Information has been received In
diplomatic quarters here that Lord
Salisbury, at the last moment, hesitates
to enter upon a war with the Trans?
vaal: ATjTonci.'ful solutron is not, TTOro-'
fore, altogether impossible, although it
is improbable."

nal than that of population or territory.
Our wealth, estimated in 1700 at $4G2,
000,000, has advanced to $05,000,000,000.
Education has not been overlooked. The
mental and moral equipment of the
youth upon whom will, in the future,
rest the responsibilities of government,
have had the tinceasing and generous
care of the State and the nation. We
expended in 1S97-9S in public educa?
tion, open to all, 5202,115,518; for sec?
ondary education, $23,474,6S3; and for
higher education for the same period
$;!0.:!07,902. The number of pupils en?
rolled in public schools in 1S96-97 was
1-1,652,192, or more than 20 per cent of
our population. Is this not a pillar of
strength to tho Republic?
"Our national credit, often tried, has
been ever upheld, It has no superior
and no stain. The United States has
never repudiated a national obligation,
either to It.s creditors or to humanity.
It will not now begin to do either. It
never struck a blow except for civiliza?
tion, and never struck its colors.
A GREAT NATION.
"The Republic is sturdier and strong?
er than ever before. Government by
the people has boon advanced. Free?
dom under the flag is more universal
than when the Union was formed. Our
Htops have been forward, not back?
ward. 'From Plymouth Rock to the
Philippines, the grand triumphant
march of human liberty has never
paused.' Fraternity and union ? are
deeply imbedded in the hearts of the
American people. For half a century
before the Civil war tho union was tho
fear of men of nil sections. That
word has gone out of the American vo?
cabnlary. It is spoken now only as a
historical memory. North, South, East
and West wore never so welded to?
gether, and while they may differ about
internal politics, they are all for the
Union and the maintenance of the in?
tegrity of the Hag.
"Has patriotism died out in the hearts
of tho people? Witness the 250,000 men
-springing to arms and in thirty days
organized Into regiments for the Span?
ish war, and a million more rendy to
respond; nnd the more recent enlist?
ment of 70.000 men, with many other
thousands anxious to enlist, but whoso
services were not needed. Has Amort
can heroism declined? Tho shattered
and sinking fleets of tho Spanish najyy
at Manila nnd Santiago, tho charge o?
Sun Juan and El Cuney and the intrepid
valor and determination of our gallant
troops In more than forty engagements
In Luzon, attest tho fact that the
American soldier and sailor have lost
none of the qualities which made our
earlier army and navy Illustrious and
invincible.
UNSHAKEN.
"After 123 years the pyramid stands
unshaken. It has had some severe
shocks, but it remains immovable. It
has endured the storms of war only,
to bo strong. It stands firmer and gives ?
greater promise of duration than when
the fathers made it the symbol 'of their
faith.
"May we not feel assured that if we
do our duty the providence, which fav?
ored tho undertakings of the fathers
and every step of our progress since,
will continue His watchful care and
guidance over us, and that "the hand
that led us to our present place will not
relax his grasp till we have reached
the glorious goal he has flxed for us lit
tho achievement of his end"
VOICE FROM CANADA.
Following the address of the Pres!?
dent, which was received with every;
manifestation of enthusiastic approval,
Mr. Stone Introduced Sir Wilfrid Lau?
rler. of Canada, who, he announced,
was to speak on "Tho Dominion." The
greeting accorded the Premier of Can
uda ns he rose to bis feet was hearty
in the extreme. Tho band played "God
Save tho Queen," tho audience rising
and joining In tho chorus. The warmth
of his welcome for on instant embar?
rassed Sir Wilfrid, but ho quickly re?
covered his self possession. His speech
was full of complimentary references
to this country and was cheered to the
echo.
MEXICO.
The welcome extended Sir Wilfrid
Laurlor was repeated when the next
speaker, Vice President Mariscal, of
Mexico, rose. He answered the toast
"The Republic of Mexico."
Colonel Henderson, Secretary Long

according to the usual custom. It Is
probable that the cases which havo been
