I ' THE MARINE AKD JACK DEMPSET.
Some Opinions Relative to the Proposed
Bmith-SlaTin Battle.
m CHAMPION SCULLER BEARLE'S FLANS
In two more weeks the baseball season
will be ended. I don't think that it will be
remembered as a very profitable and in
teresting one by Pittsburgers. The clnb has
been a treat disappointment and both the
public and those connected with the clnb
know it. The work of the players has been
even worse than it was last Tear, and it was
bad enongh then. The team may land in
sixth place, bnt the chances at present seem
against it. However, there may be a few
things learned from the club's history of this
season. One of the most important features of
the season has been the efforts of the club to
secure good pitchers. From an early part of
the season until now tbe clnb officials bare
been making endeavors to sign some good
young pitchers. These efforts have been
earnest and honest enongh, bnt I cannot help
thinking that they bare been misdirected. Tbe
club bas had any amonnc of youngsters and
everyone ot them has been a failure. These
yonugmen had done well among the rural
teams, but there is a vast difference be
tween those teams and those that make np tbe
League. True, these young men have been
secured for nothing, but cheap articles are
often expensive. I have an idea that the money
spent over the young phenom would have
gone a long way toward securing one good
pitcber. Tbe price will get almost anythms.
However, there is nothing to gain in crying
over spilt milk; and what should be done is to
try and have a solid team for next year. It is
well understood that strong efforts will be
made to sign at least three first-class pitchers
If they can be had. Conway will probably be
one of them. It does not seem that the team
will need much strengthening outside the
pitchers. Prnbablv there Is need of a good
throwing catcher, and if one coda be secured
there might be p. worse move than keeping Mil
ler in tbe outfield. It might also be well for
tbe directors of the club to arrange for a sys
tem of careful training for the players daring
the latter part of winter. There really is more
in conditioning the players than many of us
think, and Jack Rowe comes very near
the truth, when he says that every
dollar spent in this way subse
quently yields $100. Had the Cleveland?
not been in excellent condition to start ont they
would have been near tbe bottom of tbe list all
tbe season. But tbeir excellent form placed
them ne.r tbe top and they remained there long
enongh to make a considerable amount of
money. However, it is to be hoped that when
the directors ot tbe local club meet tbey will
discuss this matter.
Tbe Iirnguc Race.
We are certainly having in exciting time of
It in the race for the League pennant. I think
that old-timers will admit that there was never
a more exciting contest than the present. Tbe
strngcle between Boston and New York is
really one that cannot fail to interest everybody
who reads the newspapers. The contest prom
ises to be a bitter one right to tbe end. How
ever. I still stick to tbe Giants I selected them
at the start and I still pin my faith to them. I
" certainly believe that the chances are much In
their favor. They aro much stronger than
' Boston in the pitcher's box, ana this is a very
important feature; besides, heretofore the New
Yorks have made a much better show away from
home than have the Bostons. Tbe latter have
generally been very unfortunate during their
Western trip, and don't expect that the one
which tbev'll begin to-day will be any excep
tion. Clarkson is their mainstay, and during
the next two weeks he will be called upon to
work remarkabl hard. Should he break
down, or anything like, away goes Boston. In
this connection I might remark that it is a
pity that rumors of some unfair dealing have
been puhhshed. It has been charged that cer
tain clubs are favoring the Giants, that 1, try
ing to let them win. while tbe greatest possible
ettorts are being made to defeat Boston. How,
I don't believe a word of this; I cannot be
lieve that any clnb in the League would tor a
moment think of wilfully losing a game. The
team that w.ns will do so on its merits, and 1
am of opinion that the Giants have merit
enough to win. I think it is with them only a
question of keeping in condition. There is
also a livelv contest going on for third place
between Chicago and Philadelphia. The latter
has a slight lead at present, but they have no
more home cames to r'ay, "while" Chicago
will be at home until the season is over.
This would seem to favor the Chicago
club, so that the chances are favorable for
Anson ana his men finishing third, with Phila
delphia lourth. Indianapolis is getting dan
gerously near to Cleveland, and I'll not be sur
prised to see tbe Babies finish behind the
Hoosiers and the Pittsburgers. Altogether
there are some exciting times ahead, even
though the season is about over. The last nvo
or six games will be exciting, indeed.
That Brotherhood scheme.
Tbe air is full of the wildest kind of rumors
regarding new baseball organizations for next
season. One of the most important is that to
the effect that a number of business men and
the players of the League are going to form a
kind of industrial partnership system with
baseball clubs. Though in many respects
Utopian, the scheme has some plausibility
about it, but I don't expect for one moment
that it will ever develop into anything like
practicaDUity. W are told that the alleged
promoter of the scheme, Johnston, ot Cleve
land, denies that he bas anything to do with it.
One after another everybody who is charged
with being interested in it is disowning it. But
to put tbe scheme into working order wojld
require so much money that it seems idle to
discuss its chances of success.
More Strange Rumors.
But as the end of the ball season approaches
we may always prepare ourselves to hear some
very startling and strange rumors. Besides the
$ story of the Brotherhood scheme, we have been
told thatlhere will be many changes in the
makeup of the League and Association. The
latest story is to the effect that Brooklyn is to
take Washington's place in the League, and
that the Cincinnati Club will replace Indian
apolis. President Byrne, of Brooklin, denies
emphatically that Brooklyn will make any such
change, and the officials of tbe Indianapolis
team declare In a very pointed way that they
have no intention at all of leaving the League.
I don't think they have, and it 1 certain that
ine ieacue magnates ao not think tliey have.
It is true that matters arc very unpleasant in
the American Association, and to-morrow's
meeting may prompt changes of which we bate
little idea. It would seem that Von der Ahe
and President Byrne couldn't remain in the
same boat. It must be exceedingly unpleasant
not only for themselves but also for those who
meet with them.
Tlicnncertalntl-s of prize lighting arc vervnumer
ous.and all the fame and Its accompanying wealth
that hare fallen to the share of I -a lllanche might
be taken from hlui In a day. It must be expected
that lie'tl cling to them as long as possible. .Bnt
should La lllancheand Dcrapsey fight again I am
by no means certain who the winner would be.
Of course the majority or people think that Uemp
sev would be a sure winner: out I'm not so san
guine. Dempsev Is not as good as he was. and at
his best he was too tame to be a very dangerous
fighter. He Is not as strong, nor yet so vicious as
La Klanclic, and the latter will bave more confi
dence now than ever. Dempsey's science Is his
mainstay, but even In that he Is not so effective as
he used to be. His encounter with Donovan
showed this.
The Fntal Prize Fight.
Probably one of the most unfortunate things
that could happen to pugilism was that fatal fight
at bt. Louis the other day The affair was char
acterized by brutality from first to lait, and com
ing as It does Just after Sullivan and Kllraln have
been arrested. It Is sure to have a damaging effect
on pugilism. To some neople pugilism Is nothing
if it Is not characterized with the most brutal and
barbarous features, and It seems that this class of
people was strougly represented at the St. Louis
event. The affair was disgraceful Iroin start to
finish, and 1 am not surnrlocd that those con
nected with it should he indicted lor murder. It
must have been apparent, lr newspaper accounts
are true, that Jackson, the deceased, was
being Inhumanly butchered long before he was
killed. There was comparatively nothing at issue,
and the promoters or the atfalr'were only present
to revel In gore. It Is such affairs as the one In
question tli.it have mined legitimate pugilistic
contests. As a result, we may expect to
bee the police authorities in almost every city

Smith nnd Slavic.
According to London advices Jem Smith and
Slavln, the Australian, have been matched to
fight with bare knuckles, prize ring rules, on the
Eastern continent, for f 1,000 a side. The English
championship may also be at stake, but there can
certainly be no claim of the world's champion
ship. The battle is to take place some time in De
cember next and at some Dolnt to be agreed upon.
The event cannot fall to be of Interest to every
body who takes an interest In pugilism because It
may be expected to settle two or three disputed
points: at least It will throw tome light on one or
two things that we don't clearly bee now. As
It was In boat racing previous to the
bearle-O'Connor race, we knew nothing
definite about the Australian scullers compared
with Americans, so it Is with the Australian
pugilists. c know verr little about the standard
uf Australian fighters as compared with tbe best
In this country. X am free to admit, however,
that Australia is rapidly coming to the front In
all branches of snort. The country Is turning out
some of the best in we can expect to see, and it
Is onlj in kec ping with the ordinary things orille
that the quality of the pugilists should ueofthe
Impruvlng kind. Uheu 1 say this I am aware
that It Is only a few yeais ago sine Jack Hurfce
went to Australia aud more than held his own
against the champions. This means that at that
tlroethe standard of pugilism was thenfarfrom
first-class lu Australia. We may, therefore,
rest assured that tbe standard has become
considerably better since then, or else
both Marin and Jackson may expect to be beaten
by many pugulists both In England and America.
Hut ihe fact Is the standard of Australian pugi
lism has wonderfullylmproved during the last bix
or seven years, and we are unable to correctly es
timate how much It has improved. That Peter
Jackson Is a very good pugilist is a fact. He de
feated Joe alcAuiiSe without much trouble, and
the latter Just as easily settled 1'at Klllen, whom
manv Judges nave claimed to be verv near to first
class. bUvin claims to be as good and even better
than Jackson, so that in his. slavln's, own estima
tion, he Is as good as anybody. 1 don't think he
is as good a lighter as Jackson, however, and 1,
in erelure, expect to see Smith defeat him. The
backers ot Jem Uoode wanted to
match the latter against bmlth, and
mobt certainly if Goode has any show
"with blavin, the latter cannot expect to have any
chance of deleatlng Smith. However, the pro
posed battle between Smith and blavin will be a
uselul guide. If Smith is beaten, then we can
rest assured that both Jackson and blavin are
likcl to win the worla's championship. IT
blavin wins we may expect to see a nght between
him and J-ickson, and if Smith wins then Smith
and Jackscn will meet- I don't well see how bnl
livau can escape another international fight If he
remains In the pugilistic business. It seems that
there will be at least two battles In Europe, and it
seems Just as certain that the best man of the lot
wilt cuallenge bulllvan. It may be that John
L.'s Congresblonal duties will interfere with bis
pugilistic plans, and If they do It may probably
he the best thing that could befall him. Whether
or not he will carry out the example of John
Gully, the champion pugilist who became a mem
ber of Parliament, aud Mr. Alorrlssey, who be
came a member of Congress, remains to be seen,
lam alrald, however, tuat John will not be so
successful In winning a Congressional seat as In
knocking men out of the prize ring.
The Recent Bont Rncc.
f I had fully made my mind up to not say any
thing more about the Teemer-Gaudaur boat race.
However, I feel constrained to add, few words to
what I have already said. My decision has been
generally Indorsed by all leading authorities, ani
lor the satisfaction of those wh have supported
the decision I may state that I have In my
possession evidence which will trove conclusively
that no other decision could fairly have been ren
dered, tor certain reasons I don't use this evi
dence, and will not do so until forctd to do so. A
few people have publicly heaped personal abuse
on my poor, devoted head because of the decision.
It eomenh.it lowers one's dignity to notice the
mud-bllnging of sneb characters as a managing
editor or a local cotemporary. but It is fair that the
public 6bould know soinethingabout theauthority
of such persons. The person above rererred to
could not make any of his emplovcs write abusive
statements about me, and his hatred was so strong
that he scribbled out something h'msclf. Mow let
me honestly tell this: 'Ihe man has never seen a
boat race lu his lite: ne has not even seen a racing
uc uiu uui .uuit nuai my decision was: ne

Indianapolis, September 21, A cold
'north wind couldn't keep people away from
this afternoon s ball ,game. About 1,000
enthusiasts, bundled iu overcoats and muf
flers, shivered the game oat and with tbe
idea ot keeping warm applauded vigorously
at every provocation. Getzein, long disa
bled, appeared in the box for the Hoosiers
and was kindly greeted. Buckleys caught
for the home team, while Sowders and Car
roll did tbe pitching and catching respec
tively for the visitors. The latter played to
win to-day and did it in the first two
innings, scoring 8. Indianapolis played
rather loosely. It took just three balls from
Sowders to do them up in the first. For Pitts
burg, Carroll struck out, Rowe took his base on
balls and was advanced by Beckiey's single.
Denuy made a good running catch of a foul
from White.
JOCKO WAS THERE.
Fields hit the left field fence, bringing in
Rowe and Beckley and reaching third, Hanlon
took his base on balls, Buckley threw wildly
to catch him at second, and Fields scored,
Sunday went out from Glascock to Hines.
Three runs. In the second Dunlap hit safely,
Hines ran up and caught a scratch hit from
Sowders, Carroll hit for two bases, Rowe hit to
nght center and brought in Dunlap, but Car
roll was caught at the plate by a good throw
from Andrews. Beckiey's home run brought
in Rowe, White hit safely, reached second on
Buckley's poor throw and took third on a poor
throw to the pitcher. Fields brought him home
with a lone drive and came in himself on a
two-base hit by Banlon, Sunday died at first.
Five runs.
GETZEIN KNOCKED OUT.
Pittsburg Fcored no more until the eighth
inning, when it captured one more on Staley's
single. Miller's first orballs, Rowe's sacrifice
and Bassett's error. Getzein was knocked ont
of the box and in the third tbe Hoosiers sub
stituted their new pitcher. Fee. Pittsburg
made only one more run after be entered the
box and the Hoosiers picked up perceptiblv.
In the seventh. Fee's single, Sunday's muff,
Hines' flv, singles bv Seery and Andrews.
Denny's fly out and Glasscock's single scored
four runs. This ended the run getting for
tnem, nowever. jneiiuncKcanieearryinine
game. Perhaps if Fee bad been put in the box
earlier the result would have been different.
There was nothing especially brilliant abont
the game on either side. The fielding and bat
ting were capable and energetic. Sowders re
tired at tbe end of tbe seventh inning and
Staley finished the game. Score:

Senrle'a Intention.
It is not likely that Henry E bearl will come to
America this year, at least It Is not probable that
he will come to the country to row. He seems
determined to row at no other place than In En
gland, and there only on theTync or the Thames.
He has a certain amonut of claim In this, because
he holds the Sportsman challenge cup on the
condition that it Is rowed for on no other river
except the Thames or Tyne. bull be could row
elsciv here and leave the cup out of the contest en
tirely, but he does not seem disposed to do that.
1 am strongly of opinion that there Is no sculler In
America who can defeat him, and that means that
he must not expect to secure all his own way in
making a match. He has made some kind or en
gagement to row llubcar, but the latter must
either have a very big start or else the aSalr is en
tirely for business.

Dirty Ball Playing.
"When the League magnates hold their next
meeting they ought to dicuss what is now
called dirty ball playing. This quality of play
ing has been very plentiful this beasou; Indeed,
we may safely say that it has been in excess of
what it was the year previous. One remarka
ble feature of the matter is that tbe participa
tors in this highly censurable work have mostly
seen tbe most prominent players. Such men as
Ewlng, PfeBer, Faatz and Anson have frequently
had their names before the public as the princi
pals In Questionable scenes on tbe ball field. It
seems to me as lr the umpire has too little author
ity In matters of this kind. He should be given
the power to determine on all occasions whether
or not the conduct ofaplaver Is that becoming a
gentleman. I may be told that the umpire has
uchpowcrtoavery rrcatcxtent:"If be has, he
does not exercise It sufficiently. There 1. nothing

for Base Stealing;.
tCOBRESPONDEXCE OP TUX DISPATCH.;
Boston, September 19. The League season
is fast drawing to a close, but the excitement
still continues, not only in this city and New
York, but m all the principal towns in the
country. For many weeks it has been a neck
and neck struggle between New York and Bos
ton, with tbe chances a little in favor of the
Hub team. At present it is anybody's race, but
1 think New York will win if Boston doesn't
improve in batting during the Western trip.
Of late tbe Bostons have batted lamentably
weak, Richardson and Nash being the only men
who bit tbe ball hard and often: Mike Kelly is
doing fairly well, but the greatest batter on
the team has been in a trance for the past few
weeks. You all kuow Dan Brouthers; he
is the great batter who bas taken this
ignominous tumble. Brouthers bas not
been feeling well of late, and several times ho
bas bad to lay off. However, we nave a great
first baseman in Ganzel, who plavs the bag in
true velvet room style. Think of the mighty
Brouthers making but 4 hits in 10 games! Bat
tbe hoodoo will soon be raised: Brouthers now
goes to church once a day and twice on Sun
day. Big Dan is superstitious and religions
(except when asked to name his salarj), and
lust look out for him in the wild and wooly
West, if he ever strikes a batting streak. Once
on tbe road again, he will never letgo bis grip.
Quinn is not playing second as well as formerly;
neither is his batting as good as it used to be.
And "Pop" Smith well, he is Just playing for
keeps, and makes the greatest kind of plays.
Smith is looked noon as a noor batter.
but since joining tbe Boston team his work bas
been very good, especially in the first dozen
games. When "Pop" is off in batting he
looms up as a most artistic wind fanner. In
one of tbe New York games, in this city, Ed
Crane had great spor: with the ex-Pittsbnrger.
"Pop" struck out four times in succession, this
being the number of times be went to the bat.
The weather bas not been favorable for ball
filayine for some time, but we bave had more
uck than any other team in this respect. Two
Chicago games were played, one ending in a
victory for Boston after a hard struggle of
13 innings. JThe first game was a draw,
neither side being able to score. Con
sidering the poor weather, the attendtnee has
been large. Chicago drew abont 8,000 in the
two games; Cleveland drew over 11,000 during
their last two days' stay, two games a day be
ing an unusual attraction in this city. Bad
bourne saved Boston from defeat in one of tbe
games with Cleveland by a remarkable stroke
of luck. With two out and the score 4 to 3 in
favor of Cleveland, "Bad" came to the bat and
poulticed one of Gruber's down shoots clean
over the left field fence for a home run. After
Cleveland bad their last turn at tbe bat, it was
decided to call the game a draw on account of
darkness. Had tbe Bostons batted well, they
could have won all tbe Cleveland games;
as it was, young Beatin made chimpanzees
out of the whole gang by shutting them out
twice in succession 3 to 0 and i to 0. Beatin is
only 20 years of age, but be has what all great
pitchers require lots of sand.
President Day, of the New York clnb, made
himself very popular by voting in favor of
Boston in that game of twelve inn'ngs which
Philadelphia protested. The decision was cor
rect under the circumstances, for the umpires
and not the crowd, are tbe sole judges of tbe
game. They say Johnston never ran to first
base, and yet Fogarty skipped second base the
other day by 0 feet, and Umpire Knight
failed to call him out. Fogarty's trick gave
the Phillies three more runs than
they were entitled to. Indianapolis won the
game, so we don't hear any howl go up against
Fogarty's trickery. Tom Brown was. away
ahead of all competitors for the base running
prize until ho was laid off, and even now Fo
garty is but a few points ahead. The prize is
to be given to the League player who steals
the most bases in the season, but this is not
fair by any means: it should be given on per
centage. Brown bas certainly played games
en ouch to he entitled to tbe prize, and it Is
ridiculous to givo the prize to a man who has
"Hen but a few bases more than Brown, but
vi;o has the advantage because he has partici
pated in more games. Brown has
won the honors fairly, and bad he
taken part in as many games as Fogarty the
latter wouldn't be in sight. However, it may
be a consolation to Brown if the trophy is borne
oif by a fellow Californlan.
Young Daley, the Jersey phenomenon, is still
with Boston, but Manager liar, seems afraid
to try him in the box. He is a good one, and
only for the vast importance that is attached to
all Boston games, he would be taking his turn
with tbe other pitchers. From this out, and
until the chainpionshirj is settled, Radbourne
and Clarkson will do about all tbe pitching.
That yarn about the baseball trust is looked
upon as a fake, but the magnates should not
treat the matter as a joke, for tbe brotherhood
will strike before next spring if certain matters
are not righted, you can gamble on tbatl
Charles J. Foley,
Sowder? Has a Good Position Among the
Blnggers.
THE GIANTS ARE THE BIG HITTERS.
Ihe fight for the position of leading bats
man in the League waxes warmer as the,
season wanes. Brouthers, up to Thursday,
had a lead of .012 over Tiernan, but as the
Boston players are not hitting the ball
nearly as hard as they did a few weeks ago,
Tiernan may pull up on the big Boston
hitter. Jack Glasscock has made more hits
than any other League player and Duffy the
most runs.
The New York club leads in batting,
while Boston has dropped to below Phila
delphia. Indianapolis is second in batting
and second in fielding, but Kusie is last in
the pitchers, Getzein next to last, and Boyle
ninth from the last, which tells the story of
their club being sixth in the race., Tim
Keefe leads the pitchers, both in percentage
of first-base hits to times at bat by oppo
nents and also average earned runs per
game. Clarkson has pitched the most
games 57. Buffinton, Boyle and Staley
follow with 39 each. O'Brien and Getzein
have each pitched 37. Ewtaghas caught
the most games, he having officiated in 79.
Bennett follows with 75, Zinimer with 72
and Farrell with 71.
Zimmer leads, in the number of assists,
and Swing is second.
The New York clnb has five men with
batting averages over 300, Boston has two,
Indianapolis has three, counting "Whitney,
who played ten games, Chicago has lour,
Philadelphia three, Pittsbnre three, in
cluding Sowders, who played ten games,
Washington has two, Cleveland has not one.
The highest man on the "Spiders" is Te
beau, 26, with an average of .2f7. Every
player who has played in ten games gets a
record.'

How a Fine Plnno Can bo Plnced In Every
Borne.
Offers the following inducements, if yon
wish to pay cash: By becoming a member
you will save $75 in the price of the piano,
and get it at once. If you cannot spare the
cash you can cet your piano any time, on
payment .of 25 cash and $2 0 per week,
no interest, and still save 75 in the price.
If you cannot pay so fast, by waiting
until your nnmber is drawn you will get
vour piano on payments of $1 per week, no
interest, and saveS75 in the regular price
to onr retail trade. Think of this! Our
club is composed of 350 members, each
paying $1 per week. Thus you see the
members are buying tor cash, and one piano
is delivered to the member whose number
is drawn each week, until all are supplied.
or, if one-half of the members take their
pianos and pay S3 50 per week, we deliver
twice the number, and get double the
amount of cash each week, and it leaves
only one-half the number to be drawn on the
SI weekly payments. It is a simple business
problem. We are savine our members the
difference in price by contracting for 350
pianos at one time, and on a cash basis. AVe
have now enough members to guarantee the
success of this plan, and have decided to
begin delivering the pianos on Saturday,
September 21. Do not wait, but apply for
membership at once. Call and see the
piano, or send for circular.

FURNITURE
When our advice is sought in the
purchase of Eurniture we always
give the first place to qualities of
usefulness, durability and perfec
tion of workmanship; and Jhe sec
ond to a consideration of beauty
and artistic value. If a piece of
cabinet furniture is well made it
should last from 50 to 100 years,
but if badly put together it becomes
a source of annoyance and expense
from the day it was purchased.
It takes a good while to become
a tolerable judge of furniture, and
the safest plan is to go to a house
of established reputation like
Keech's. Our success has been
owing largely to the iact that our
customers not only get the full
value for their money but are so
thoroughly satisfied that they gen
erally returni for future purchases,
and in many instances obtain for us
the patronage of their acquaintan
ces.

We Have a Fine Lot of New
BICYCLES AND SAFETIES
There are many things in life you
can afford to do by halves, but
furnishing a house is not, one of
them. The most economical plan
is to buy your furniture from a
large concern where the magni
tude of the business makes it feasi
ble to keep in stock a large assort
ment of modern and antique styles,
and where, owing to the large out
let, everything is bought and sold
at lower prices than at the score or
more of side show concerns that
infest the streets and avenues of
our city.
Wise people will not hesitate long
where to buy their furniture, when
the -road of elegance, style, dura
bility and low prices leads to
Keech's.
It has been truly said that to go
through our Carpet departaeatk
to wander over the kinds oftfc
Orient The tread upoa soft car
pets is one of the luxuries that ami
greatly to the comfort ef.iaadora
rooms. Our immense "stock'ebm-
prises an endless variety of Car
pets, Rugs and' Mattings, all of tfci
latest and most popular designs.
You may have your choice froa"ft
an almost ptiHIms aw-nr f tuC
of beautiful Wiltons, Moqaettev
Velvets, Body and Tapestry Brus
sels, extra and medium fine Ingrains,.
three-ply Coir and Napier Mat- A
tings, Stair Pads, Venetian Stair
Carpets, eta As a means of aid- '
ing yon to select exactly what yon 4
want we would suggest walking 1
through -our Carpet department
where all of the above are dis-
played in rich profusion.
There is no greater embellish
ment to a room than a handsome,
floor covering. In the bed rooW'r
parlor some sort of carpet is weH
nigh indispensable. A roorawkfcdl
fine furniture on bare floors ssiStF 'f
necessarily seem cold 'and incoa.-- -f-gruous.
On the other hand, whea1 ,'
a carpet is supplied in harmoay1 jf
with the furniture and wall decora-" ff
tion, a room always ' gains in con-i
geniality, refinement and pictur
esque appearance. You will find
