A chain of Interesting events soon will
link Philadelphia with tho little Itcpubllc
of Andorra, tho strangest and least known
of tho many countries In Kurope.
Of course everybody known of Monaco,
whoso Monte Cnrlo haB won fnmo In piny
and song. Others havo heard of San
Marino and Liechtenstein, miniature Hiiro
pean principalities which can boast almost
of Independence ) yet few persons have
definite knowledge. If any, of Andorrn,
which tins been termed "the hidden re
public "
Almost unknown and nmong the passes
of the Pyrenees Mountnlus on tho border
between Trance nnd Spain, Andorrn. said
to bo n Jewel of qunlntness, hns been "dis
covered" by William I. Price, of Philadel
phia, and Klsko Warren, of Ilo"iton, who
will establish a slnglo tax colony there.
Mr. Price, who Is a member of tho
firm of Price & McLnnahnn. architects,
who designed tho Hotel Traymoro nnd the
Mnrlborough-Itlcnhelm, In Atlantic City,
will go to Andorra, where ho expects in
build a summer home.
Mr. Warren returned from Andorra Inst
month, where plans for tho colony nro
Hearing completion. Iloth Mr. Price nnd
Mr. Warren will bo trustees for tho An
dorra colony i the third trustee Is Or.
Francisco Pin, who Is ono of the most
lenincd nnd distinguished citizens of tho
little republic.
Neither Mr. Prlco nor Mr. Wnrrcn Is
new to tho single tnx Idea. Mr. Warren
Is leader of tho Tahanto Slnglo Tax Col
ony at Hnrvnrd. while Mr. Prlco founded
tho Iloso Vnllcy Slnglo Tnx Colony nnd
similar ones at Arden, Del., nnd Cumber
land Mills, In Maine. Mr. Prlco also Is
a trusteo of tho Harvard colony.
Andorra, "tho hidden," was mndo a re
public, that Is, a self-governing political
unit, by Louis le riebonnalre, a son of
Chnrlcnmgnc. It Is tho oldest repub
lic In tho world. Protected by natural
bnrrlors of gorge and mountain from
storm, cold nnd Invaders, the GOOD odd
Andorrans havo been perfectly content to
bo nnd let be.
Four traditional maxims nro said to
have governed Andorran life slnco 800,
namely, fear Clod, llvo as closely to na
turo na possible, prescrvo tho ncutrnllty
of the republic, nnd keep your own coun
sel. "Our plans nr nearly completed," Mr.
Prlco said. "In fact, tho colony practi
cally hns started already. Wo havo pur
chased a small tract of land near Ksenldns,
ono of the Andorran villages, nnd although
starting on a small scale, tho colony will
develop.
"I hax-c been very much Impressed with
tho reception the Andorrans gavo to tho
slnglo tax Idea. They appreciate tho dem
ocratic quality of the plan, nnd It has re
ceived tho sanction of tho President of that
republic, or syndic, as ho Is called, nnd of
tho Spanish Itlshop of Urgel. who together
nro tho leaders of tho little country.
"Free trade will bo an Important factor
In tho plan. Farming Is one of tho chief
pursuits In Andorra, and Harcolona Is
now a freo port. 1 understand that a
small quantity of wheat from Andorrn re
cently went through freo of duty, for tho
first time, as far as I know."
Mr. Price explained that the land bought
by tho trustees Is mostly In small farms.
These farmers will pay a slnglo tax to
tho trustees, that Is. they will not bo
taxed on buildings or Improvements. Cer
tain part of tho taxes will bo put aside
for tho purchase of more land, so that the
colony mny bo enlarged. The trustees
cannot niter tho contrnct, they enn only
collect rent.
Overcoats are almost unknown In An
dorrn Wild carnations grow there In
December, while violets nro found In
abundance In January. What If It takes a
nlno houis' rough horseback trip over the
mountains from Southern Frnnco to
reach Andorra ! The trip Is a trllle shorter
from Spain, nnd a good roadway from
Hnrcclona Is Hearing completion.
Thero nro no carriages In Andorra,
travelers say. There Is no police system.
It Is not needed. Thero Is no compulsory
mllltnry scrvlco and (suffrnglsts nttcn
tlon!) no man suffrage In general, liven
bachelors nro frowned upon nR tho Gov
ernment is vested In consuls nnd coun
cilors. 1
The only sovereign right which has
been surrendered Is the administration of
justice, and this was given to tho two
French nnd Spanish vlgulers, one of
whom Is tho Hlshop of t'rgel. Neither
Frnnco nor Spain hns attempted to make
laws for Andorrn. nnd In rclntlon to tho
ndminlstrntlnn of Justice both vlgulers nro
bound to Rlvo their decisions Ifi harmony
with tliu customs of Andorrn. The Presi
dent of Franco Is one of tho coprlnces of
Andorra. Andorrans spenk a mlxturo of
French nnd Spanish.

Made in Philadelphia. This should mean something to the prospective
Piano buyer, who must rely on the statements made by the salesmen as
to the merits of the instruments. We could easily purchase some cheap
Pianos arid sell them at a price under $400, and make.more profit than we
do by making a good Piano and selling from factoryjto home.
But when, for over a quarter of cejrfury, we have been 'making
Pianos and have earned a reputticm that hal made the name
"Cunningham synonymous with meritorious Piano construction andfdura-
