At that time they gave unmistakable evidence of a determination to reach a higher level in the piano world. Our Piano Store had not then made much progress, but was full of ambition and of sympathy for those, who were fighting for position.

We have never said one-half for the Vose Company nor the Vose pianos that circumstances justified, but there were adequate reasons. Up to one year ago we could not get enough pianos to fill more orders than came to us naturally without special advertising. Then we watched carefully the many changes in the instruments. Possibly no piano firm ever showed such astonishing advance in the same length of time. They didn't need much encouragement; their achievements were working out their legitimate results.

We believed in the Vose Company and their piano; but we didn't know what the popular verdict might be, and what is more important, we, didnt know FOR WASHINGTON Local 'Clubmen to Make a Fine Showing at the Roosevelt Inauguration Stalwart Republicans From Quaker City Will Shine Parade the on Everything is in readiness for the de-' parture to-day of the local Republicans who propose to take part in the inaugural parade in Washington to-morrow.

BROTHER OF BLQCH CONFESSES MURDER Continued From First Page Bloch was in a state of could say little as to how he came to commit the crime which he admits. He gave out a statement in which he acknowledged his guilt and the hope that no mercy be shown him for the terrible crime he committed. Allentown officials who were communicated with this evening over the longdistance telephone ridiculed Bloch's story and 6aid that it was impossible that an innocent man had been hanged.

An officer from Washington will leave for Allentown to-morrow morning and secure data in the case. Bloch, while in' Washington county, passed as John White, he having changed his name immediately after leaving Allentown in 1903. What Looked Like Suicide May Develop Into a Murder Investigation Under Way Special to The Inquirer. BRIDGETON, X. March 2.

Sitting upright in a chair and with a handkerchief tied about hia neck and fastened to a bedpost, the body of Frank Tidmarph, 55 years old, was found this morning by Roberf Sutton, who went to call him for breakfast. Tidmarth, who was a single man, boarded with Sutton at his home in West Bridgeton. County Physician Edward L. Diament, who was hastily summoned, cut the corpse free. Disposed of Farm Tid marsh had been despondent for some ti me, and yesterday a farm passed from his "control.

He was for some years a blacksmith for the Cumberland" Glass Manufacturing Company and was well known here. There is a feeling to-night with latest developmentfs that Tidmarsh may not have taken his own life, but was the victim of foul play. Coroner Samuel Hall is investigating the case, and County Physician Diament will withhold the burial permit until Prosecuting Attorney Fithian, who is out of town, has been consulted. Cooper Ireland, of Williamstown. a broth er-in-law of Tidmarsh, is here making in vestigations, and declares he will remain until the matter is cleared up.

Money Disappeared What puzzles the authorities is the complete disappearance of nearlv- the hundred dollars which Tidmarsh was known to have had about him yesterday afternoon. No trace of the money can be found. Furthermore there was a nearly empty bottle on the bureau in his bedroom which is believed to have contained laudanum. Tidmarsh owned two farms and got one hundred dollars as first payment on the one he sold yesterday. If suicide, it was of remarkable character.

Tidmarsh owned three watches, which were also missing, but these were found this afternoon in the care of a woman to whom he entrusted them three weeks ago for some unknown reason. RUNAWAY COUPLE MET AT STATION BY A NOISY MOB" 'Continued From First Page jail Miss Bowne was given a cel in the witnesses' section. Cordova was sent in the general pen. There were about fifjy tramps and petty criminals in the corridor, and they1 set up a shout of welcome. Some of the men were playing Cordova stopped at the entrance to the corridor.

egro Made Sport the matter, dominie?" said a negro "Afraid of the card game? Come in. It won't hurt you. You've done worse things than play cards." 4 Cordova shuddered and, going to a corner of the corridor, sat down on a stool and buried his face in. his hands. At the jail Rev.

J. E. Swan, pastor of the Pitman Methodist Church, on behalf of the Discipline Committee of Conference, served Cordova with a copy of the charges on which he must stand trial at the approaching session of Conference and whicn are preliminary to his expulsion from the ministry. Cordova has retained Frank Bradley and Arthtur Clark, local attorneys, to represent him. The grand jury is to be convened on Tuesday to consider additional charges against Cordova.

Both Cordova and Miss Bowne looked travel-worn and shabby. Cordova had only $1.25 in his pockets. Miss fowne was penniless. Neither would talk. A number -of women called at the jail and asked to see Cordova, but Sheriff Carman refused to permi anyone to sec the prisoner.

BALFOUR'S MAJORITY CUT OOWH TO 24 Cries of "Resign" Greet Result of Division in the House of Commons LONDON, March 2. The House of Commons to-night in committee on supply considering thev additional army estimate with a reduced attendance gave the government a majority of only twenty-six on a minor amendment. The result of this division was received with an outburst of cheering by the opposition. Mr. Lloyd-George (advanced liberal) immediately moved to report progress.

He accused the government of filibustering in order to gain t-hfae. He said it was evident that the Commons were tired of Mr. Balfour and he ministry. Premier Balfour, in replying, said that if the Commonsywere tired of him it was an easy matter to secure a riddance. A division was then taken, the result being 167 to 191 in favor of the government.

This majority of twenty-four was greeted with cries of "Resign." In subsequent divisions the government majority hovered around 26 and 28 and the matter was the subject of excited comment in the lobby. throughout with silk.

Chestnut street) whether they would continue their pace.

It's a cold lonesome place at the top, or even near it. But they began to climb. It was not a rapid pace at first, but apparently a confident one. We saw the energy, the forward strides, the slips, the recoveries, and we watched until we saw them pass the lower footholds, then the middle ones, and we said: "Will they dare?" Then we heard the words of caution from below the same words that were shouted to the boy at the Natural Bridge in Vir ginia who wanted to carve his name higher up'on the rock than any one who had preceded him. They didn't dare to cheer him not then but shouted: "Don't look down; keep your eye on the top!" And we knew in this case, as then, when the climber had reached the point where he dared not look back, but must keep his eye on the blue above.

We are watching them still. No one can tell whether the dizzy height will be reached, but we have faith, and we, like you, and like the whole world, admire the one who dares to climb. Enameled saucepans, grav, with lip, 4 qts. China salt boxes. Pudding pans, blue enamel, 3 qts.

MANY STATES GATHER FDR INAUGURATION DF PRESIDENT Continued From First Page the assignment to them of artillery horses to ride in the parade. They wish now they' had brought their own ponies with them as Captain Seth Bullock and his eowbovs did. Admiral Dewey will not be able to take any part in the inauguration ceremonies, and it is possible that some other officer of the navy may be selected to take his place.

If that is done the selection would probably be Rear Admiral Francis J. Hig-ginson, commandant of the Washington navy yard, who is senior rear admiral. Admiral Dewey has been seriously ill with the grip for four weeks. Although much improved he is still too weak to leave the house. It is expected that with careful nursing and complete rest the admiral will be restored to his usual good health in a few weeks.

The chorus for the inaugural concert, which is to be held Monday night, March 6, have had a general rehearsal with over 450 members present. The entire program to be carried out at the concert was rehearsed under the direction of Percy S. Foster, and accompanied by the Marine Band. Another meeting of the members will be held to-morrow night at the Pension Building. A Horseback Reception At the conclusion of the inaugural parade Saturday, President Roosevelt will receive at the White House the members of his Rough Rider escort of honor and such other members of his old regiment as may be in the city.

The entire party will be entertained by the President and Mrs. Roosevelt at a luncheon. He also will receive and shake hands with the cowboys who have been brought to Washington by Captain Seth Bullock. They will ride through the portecoehere of the White House, and each man will give the President a "riding shake." Xone of them will dismount.

A NEW XADY MACBETH Nance O'Xeil Essays the Part With Indifferent Success Miss Nance O'Neil appeared 'as rady Macbeth in Shakespeare's "Macbeth," at the Chestnut Street Opera House last the final play ln the repertoire she bad selected for her local engagement. That this character should have a place in auch a repertoire, composed as it is chiefly of modern types of womanhood, is not strange, for although Lady Macbeth is a creation of the Eltzabetbian ago she is the most modern of all Shakespeare's women.

A realization of this was perhaps the chief of the many things that made Modjeska's conception of the role a standard of excellence. Unfortunately, Miss O'Neil either does not grasp this feature or she looks upon Lady Macbeth merely as one of the abnormal harridans who usually figure as heroines in the pre-Shakespearean tragedy of blood. Judging from her performance last night It is reasonable to presume that the latter Is the view adopted by the actress. Miss O'Neil's usual habit of mistaking explosiveoess and mere precipitancy for force was never more in evidence than ln her portrayal of Lady Macbeth, nor did her unceasing gesticulation and unsympathetic rendering of the blank verse serve to diminish the unfavorable Impression. A terrible creature Lady Macbeth undoubtedly Is, but as in the case of Iago the qualities that make her so are agents operating upon the Intellect rather than making her physically repulsive.

Mrs. Siddons' writing of Lady Mac-beth's beauty declared that according to her notion It "Is of that character which I believe is generally allowed to be most captivating to the other sex fair, feminine way. perhaps even fragile." The melodramatic manner, of Mis O'Neil was very distant from After seeing her In the earlier scenes the spectator wondered why ahe recoiled at the smell of blood and why she fainted when announcement was mede of the murder of the groom. Charles Dalton was the Macbeth and he gave a noisy reading of the part. but failed utterly to show the real character of Macbeth the weak man upon whose decaying moral nature the witchea' words take root.
