We are proud enough of Richmond, appreciating its advantages, the opportunities it affords us in manufacturing our product, the Starr Piano, and its splendid location in the heart of a great trading territory, to do our utmost towards helping entertain the thousands of Fall Festival visitors, and aiding in every way possible to make the Festival an enjoyable success. We are proud enough of our product, the famous Starr Piano, to believe it will prove to be one of the greatest attractions to the countless number of visitors that will throng our city during the Fall Festival. During the three days of the Festival our warerooms at the corner of 10th and Main streets will fairly overflow with the finest products of our factory and every visitor to the city is cordially invited to spend as much time with us there as possible. We have made, special arrangements with the factory to have on display at the warerooms, several hundred Starr pianos, showing all the different makes and styles. The warerooms will be open day and night during the Festival and free concerts will be given, enabling you to judge for yourself of the masterful quality and tone and workmanship of the Starr Pianos. There are no strings tied to our invitation to visit our warerooms and enjoy the free concerts. No one need feel obligated to buy. We simply want everyone to have as enjoyable a time as possible during the three days of the

Festival and are but doing our share towards the accomplishment of this object.

VICTIM HELPLESS

Ticket Agent Unable to Defend Valuables. ,

Washington, Pa., Oct. 3. Because robbers had sufficient foresight to hide his wooden leg Oscar O'llarrah, ticket agent at Colliers, W. Va., was compelled, lying cm his bed, to watch two masked men go through his

clothes, search the house and steal $125 in money. This sum was taken from his trousers pocket and also a gold watch worth $160, together with other valuables. The men overlooked $250 of the railroad company's money concealed In a coat. v Following hts usual custom O'Harrah upon retiring left his wooden leg in the leg of his trousers. At night he was awakened to find burglars in the house and his trousers and the wooden leg were gone. ' i Then the men came into his room and unconcernedly began a search, one compelling 0'Harrah to keep silent at the revolver's point. ; - The Bearch finished, the two men informed O'llarrah he would find his

wooden leg downstairs. "When they had gone he managed to summon, his small daughter, who located the artificial limb standing naturally at the foot of the stairs. By the time the leg was adjusted the robbers had escaped. O'Harrah lost his real leg in a railroad accident five years ago.

New York, Oct. 3 A. Holland Forbes, pilot,' and Augustus Post, have gone to Berlin with their balloon the Conquerer, and they will take part in the international balloon race to be staxUd by Kaiser Wilhelm rfom Ber

lin on, October 11. -. The Conquerer is the only balloon made in America that, will enter the contest, the other two pilot- from this country having arranged for the purchase of, foreign made airships. Mr. Forbes," who says he will win, does not expect that the race will be

won on land. He explains how smalti

a chance there is for any of the twentythree balloons to approach the record made from St Louis, last fall and "not land on the water." He points to the map of Europe and argues that if last year's distance of 872 miles should be equaiea in the race from Berlin, about the only basis of hope so far as lighting on soil is

concerned will be a northwest wind, carrying the balloonists to Russia's frozen steppes.
