The latest report preceding this was
to the effect that the committee at
Rio having this subject in hand was
about to recommend to the conference
that It should not act upon the Drago
doctrine as a body, but should send the
question back to the various coun-
tries of the Americas for submission paata*
to The Hague if desired. But this
action at Rio, combined with that at
Ijondon, can not fail to present potent
claims for favorable action to The
Hague tribunal.—Cincinnati Enquirer.

1f you buy a Piano from a sliding price dealer you will repent it when
you find that your neighbor bought the same Identical instrument from the

If you buy from a dealer who pays commissions to people who take

the commission was added to the price of the Piano and that It came out
of your pocket.
And besides YOUR FRIKN'D, who got the commission, would not and
could not be of any service to you il the Piano proved unsatisfactory.
Now. if you can't trust the dealer without YOUR FRIEND with you, of whao
value is your commission-taking FRIEND In a case of this kind?
The other Piano dealers recognize the commission-takers as parasite*
and giufters, but those dealers have not confidence enough in their
Pianos and prices to cut loose from these commission-seekers.
