THE M DEPOTJTHE MUSICAL CLDB

The Offices Moving The Freight Depot in Place, - -i At the Panhandle depots thev are torn up unt.l if they weren't too big to need it cue would aln.ost fel sorry for them. The freight buildirg is at last removed atd pieced where they want it. It is net very badly damaged, and will Le u.-eful with a surprisingly fciraH amount cf repairing. The cierks wi'i move in at ot.ee and soon be at home again. Those in the passerger station, however, arr in bad hae. TLey are movingin section, trvins' to move acd slid do business. As a result half f their belong iegs are in tbe Akron hotel, the rest in the old buildirg.

like one grat d sweet b:ie ball game, with a home run to make every ten minutes. They hope to be entirely moved before the close of the jjTc4j As to the "buildirjr of " ttfe'tiS' depot, no out' here knows a thing. The plans are gotten up in the Chicago office, must go to tbe Pittsourg office for approval, and so by the time the people know what is to be dore, it has ilreadv been done. It is thought h re that the inTention is to tear the old building down in sections and replace with tte new, as they go along. Others say that the old building will be torn away at once and business done in temp-ray quarters, as the offices ar3 doing until the new depot is reaiy for occapancy. The Reception Tomorrow. Arrangem 'nfs are bficg pushed to completion for the rceptio" to 6e given by the Starr Piano company tomorrow. Tbe retail department is in the bands of Chesman & Schepman, the florists, who are making it a veritable bower of floral beauty. Favors are also to be given to all lady callers dariDg the day and evening, being the first carnations of the season. One ' f the interesting sights is Frank Butler's old sp'net, almost lost beside a Starr grand. Ooe is labeled "A piano of 100 years ago;' the other ""A piano o! today." Tbe day is to be devoted to visitors, full orchestra all dav and evening. Ladies receive especial attention in the afternoon and eve ing. The Starr people, by the way. celebrate the manufacture of their thirty-thousandth piano in a short time. It almost seems impossible that so many of thse magnificent instruments have been made and sold from Richmond. The figure gives ;n unexpected proof of the immense business done by just one concern.
