The New York Evening Pott will beglu,
on the third of May, to Issue a weekly edl

tion of Revenue Reform, which has become
the paramount issuo in national politics.
Tho existence of au uclual surplus In tho
Treasury estimated to reach $140,000,000
on tho 80th of June, 1888, and the further
Increase thereof under present laws, aro a
menace to all business Interests, and a dl
rct incentive to wastefulness and corrup
tion in tho appropriations ot public muncy.
The attention of the people having been
strongly drawn to this subject by tho Presi
dent in his last annual message, the need of
information and popular enlightenment on
questions of revenue und taxation has been
lncreasincly felt in all parts of tho country.
It is the lutention of the management to

An AtrocIoiiH Murder Reported

haudwriting, tho particulars of her death.
Two tramps had entered the school house

overpowered and outraged ber, afterward
cutting her tongue out with 11 knife and
then tied, leaving her for dead. She re

A Valuable Patent.
Messrs C. Mcars & Son were granted on
Tuesday April 3d a patent for their wash
ing machine. Upon examination of their
specifications and claims we find they are
allowed every point just as they have been
manufacturing their celebrated washer.
The rog.gearing having an angular hole
through which extends the angular rod
that operates the rubber black Is tho main
feature of tkis washer, and bis claims are
all allowed upon It. Several manufactur
ers of washers have approached Mr. Mears
to make terms for tho purchase of this
movement, but be has avoided them all
knowing the value of his invention. Mr.
Mears constructed bis first washer nearly
two years ago and soon after made his ap
plication for a patent but through the de
lay of certain matters at the patent office
it was deferred until April 3d. Now that
all claims are allowed him, we look for an
Increase in his business, and hope it may
deyelop a large Industry in our coturaunity.

Our 200-page Spring and
Summer Catalogue will be
ready in a few days. It contains
much information concerning
our goods and prices, and will
be a valuable aid to our out-of-town
customers. We will send
it free of charge on receipt of a
postal card request.-
Do you want a headache ?
If yes, just look through our
stock of fancy Surah Dress Silks.
If not, read on a little. We may
help you get the silk and save
your head. The prices go from
75c to $1.50, widths from 19 to
24 inches. The styles go
through all primary colors with
their complements and contrasts,
through all patterns, plaids and
plains, flowers and figures, nat
ural and conventional. If you
want a surah dress pattern, just
idealize your notion, tell us what
it is, and if human ingenuity has
been ahead of you, the stuff
awaits your call. Any margin
between your fancy and our
fact we can doubtless overcome.
There is no false witness in
our $1 Black Surah. You can
get it only here. Other Surahs
plenty. These nowhere else.
Pure dye, pure silk, and two
years' experience.
The Chinaman and cheap
labor gives you real Shantung
Pongee at $5 the piece of 19 to
20 yards. You don't buy Chin
ese land pounded into the fabric
just good honest natural silk.
Ah Sin isn't in the transaction.
Gloriosa. No wonder that
the maker wanted a superlative
for a name. There have been
other triumphs in mingling silk-and-wool.
The fingers of an
expert tingle as he touches, but
admiration is common to all, ex
pert or not. This is the great
est triumph. $1.25 and $1.50,
42 inches wide, ten colors in
each grade. .
Robes. The proper stuffs for
a neat costume ready matched
to your hand. Some one else
has done the color fitting and
has figured out how many yards
oi this, how many yards ot that
for the perfect dress ; some one
who knew how. You get the
whole thing in a lump, The
matching and measuring and
putting up of the cheapest Robe
we have has been done with as
much care as the costliest.
Embroidered C h a m b r a y
Robes were a last year noveltv.
Sometimes we could hardly get
them ready fast enough for you.
No vfonder they go with a rush.

There is no reason in the

English Cloths should be $1.25,
$1.50, $1.75, and $2 instead of
half more. You have paid half
more for the same sort, and that

Shoe are the elastic side gores.
The easiest of all shoes to get
on and off, snug setting, hand
some, simple ; but rotten rubber
or poor work of some kind in
the stretch-pieces usually plays
the mischief. We have been
looking out for that weak spot.
Men's fine calf, hand-sewed

be sold for so little. All sizes ;

Book News. It has .taken a
long step upward and forward.
It is gaining recognition for
literary originalty, and is also
eclectic and practical, takes Mr.
Busy Man by the hand and
says : "Allow me to introduce
