Valuator & Brum,
SHALL WE
There is in Philadelphia a clothing house which has no double in all the
world. The world is full of clothing houses ; and it is a geed deal te say that
one is unlike all the rest.
First, in its dealing ; and it is surprising that ene beuse should difibr
much from another. Selling clothing is se simple a matter, thai it is likely,
one would suppose, te be clone in very much the same way in Philadelphia,
New Yerk and Londen. But Philadelphia is ahead ; and, curiously enough,
one house in Philadelphia is ahead of all the rest.
Te he ahead in dealing is te deal en a higher plane, in a meie liberal
way, te give the buyer mere well founded confidence without less of the mer
chant's safety. This Philadelphia clothing house says te a stranger : " We
want te deal with exact justice. Wc want what belongs te us, viz., a fair
profit ; and we want you te have what belongs te you, viz., a liberal monoy's menoy's money's
woith. Our way te arrive at this result is te mark a price en everything we
sell, which price is absolute ; and te let you buy what you like, go away and
think the bargain ever, and come and trade back, if you want te. We find by
experience that this liberality is harmless te us. Of course, you like it. And
it makes quick and ready dealing. We don't want you te bring back what
you buy it would cost us money every time ; but wc would rather you would
bring back than keep, what you don't like. Se, we try te see that you get
at first what you will like the better the mere you knew of it. This is really
the whole philosophy of our dealings." Is it any wonder that no ether clothing
house in this city, or New Yerk, or Londen, deals in the same way ?
Svce.'id, in its goods the amount and variety of them. Thore are ether
heubes where excellent clothing is kept, and a great deal of it ; but there is
none, anywhere, that keeps se much. The dealing related above has wen the
largest trade the world has yet seen. Te supply such a trade great quantity
and variety of clothing are rcquired ; and these in turn increase the trade, be
cause everybody likes te cheese out of many things, rather than out of few.
This is the country of ready-ni ado clothing. Great' Britain makes the
most of any European country ; but there is net in all Londen any clothing
business a quarter as large as that of Oak Hall. New Yerk has several large
clothing businesses ; but no ene nearly equal te that of Oak Hall ; Bosten
likewise.
Loek back twenty years ! Have we doue you geed bcrvice, or net? But
that is net what we had in mind ; we were thinking of the clothes you arc go
ing te buy te-day. Shall wc sell them ?

MARYLAND DUCK SHOOTING.
JVUUC GlLDEItSLKKl'E'M KXPKKIKNCE
ON THE SUSIJUEHANNA FLATS.
Twe Days' Tine Spert from tin; ISutteries of
Capt. Geerge K. Carver Four Hun
dred Canvas Backs anil Ked
Heads Killed.
New Yeik Sun.
Judge Gilderslceve, who is perhaps even
better known as a rille shot and sportsman
than a jurist, has done recently some geed
sheeting en the water et Chesapeake bay,
where yearly immense numbers of wild
fowl congregate. Sitting in his office the
judge described it.
"There is no better place for duck
sheeting," he taiil, " than the Susque
hanna Hats, near Ha vie de Grace, en the
upper waters of the Chesapeake bay.
There the wild celery gtews in abundance.
This is the favorite feed of the canvas back
ducks, and it imparts a delightful flavor
te their flesh. Consequently the canvas
backs of that region arc the best. Se, tee,
are the red heads that abound in the locali
ty. These birds bring a higher price
in the market than these shot in any ether
place that I knew of. Nev.-, as you
probably knew very well, duck sheeting
in Maryland is strictly protected by law,
which provides that no sheeting shall take
place in the fall until Nev. 1. Then it be
gins, but it is confined te Mondays, Wed
nesdays and Fridays. Ilia man that sheets
en ether days is mero than likely te be ar
rested, for the game constables are numer
ous and en the aleit te capture these who
have the temerity te break the game laws
of the sovereign st..te of Maryland. The
sheeting at fiin i- restricted te the days
that I liavei):inie.i in order that the wild
fowl may net br-eemc tee wild. Qn shoot sheet
ing days a preity general cannonading is
kept up ami they become thoroughly
frightened. A day's piiet docs wonders
in causing them te forget what frightened
them. After Jan. 1 the sheeting is extend
ed te Saturdays. But this added day
doesn't amount te much usually, for by
the holidays the Hats arc generally frozen
ever, and the duck sheeting for the season
comes te an cud.
"And new a word about the modus op
erandi," the judge continued. " The
best way te sheet ducks en the Hals then
is from a box or a battery as it is called.
This is simply a coffin-shaped, water
tight box, se weighted that when the
hunter gets in its sides are nearly level
with the surface of the water. On each
side is a canvas-covered frame-work called
a wing. These wings extend out ever the
water, and are intended te keep the waves
from washing into the battery. When,
however, there is a stiff wind blowing
they net infrequently prove insufficient te
keep the water out of the box. Then a
btrip of sheet iron four or six inches wide
which is attached te the box is turned tip,
and it proves a sufficient barrier. In this
box lies the hunter with his gun in hands.
Near him are placed the decoy ducks.
Very efthn these boxes arc placed in pairs,
and two hunters occupy them. The laws
of the state further demand that for
caeh batterv a license of $25 shall be paid.
Thore is also another license for $10 issued
te what arc called bushwackers.' These
are the men tee peer te own a battery and
outfit, and cruise around the Hats and kill
what they can. The first week in Novem
ber is the most deshablc for sheeting, as
you can readily see, for then the birds are
tamest and most plentiful, and then of
course the batteries bring the highest
prices. The first Monday morning in
November found our party, which consist
ed of Colonel E. Harrison Sanferd, K. R.
Haines, Arthur T. Sullivan, and myself,
sleeping soundly en the scow of Capt. Gee.
It. Carver, one of the best known and
most successful duck hunters of Matyland.
Capt. Carver has one of the most complete
outfits in that section. It consists of a
scow, batteries, decoys and small beats.
The scewisa large flat-bottemcd.schooner-rigged
craft, drawing little water. For
ward is a kitchen complete and aft is the
cabin or dining saloon. , There arc com
fortable bunks, and everything is ship
shape aud right snug. The scow lay all
night outside the Hues. There arc lines
prescribed by law iusidc of which the
scows and beats cannot go until after G
o'clock en skoetiugdays. Of course, en
dark, stormy mornings some daring skip
per will run in ; but it is risky business.
ButT at 3 o'clock the sce w.s many of which
are lying all along the lines, heist sail and
make for the ground. They cheese the
most likely spots, get far enough apart se
as net te interfere with one auothcr.ancher
the batteries and put out the decoys. At
about 5 o'clock the sportsmen are called,
breakfast is served, and as seen as it is
light enough te sec they are rowed out te
the batteries, where they take their places
and wait for the ducks.
" On that Monday morning we used a
double battery, and two of us took out eut
places. Around us were 450 decoy led
head and canvas back ducks. They were
made of iron, aud looked very natural.
When wc were in our places the men row
ed back, the scow was anchored off a geed
distance, aud we waited. The morning
dawned beautiful and clear. Soen we be
gan te hear the pepping of guns all around
us, and very seen ducks came our way and
we began te de some pepping ourselves.
The day was perfect. The sun shone
warmly, and there was just breeze enough
te make the ducks fly well. A battery is
always placed se that the shooter lies with
his head te windward and feet te leeward.
Ducks, when possible, fly up in the face of
the wind when about te light. If a fleck
is flying right with the wind and decides
te light, it makes a curve, sweeps around,
and comes up sharp in the wind ; se .that
a geed duck-sheeting day should be rather
windy. There wc lay in our coffins, sur
rounded by decoys, and every few minutes
we'd sce ever us, or te our right or left, a
fleck of ducks swerving around te join our
decoys, which danced en the little waves
iu a very lifelike way. The time te sheet
is just as the birds are about te light.
Under favorable circumstances they come
within fifteen or twenty yards. Then is
the time te sit up in the box and bang
away. New beginners make the mistake
usually of firing at the fleck, net at single
birds. The result is peer execution. Yeu
must select your bird aud kill him, and
then go for another. Cel. Sanferd and I
tried the experiment several times of blaz
ing away at the fleck, but wc usually
missed all. This year, for the first time,
I tried the experiment of using two guns,
and succeeded several times iu getting
three birds, ene with each barrel of my
first gun, and the third with the first bar
rel of my second gun. This requires quick
work. Sometimes we get two birds with
one barrel when they lapped each ether as
they Hew.''
" What sort of guns de you use' ?"
"Usually I have shot with a 10-bore
Scott gun, 10 pounds weight, using 4$
drachms of powder and 1 ounces of Ne. 4
shot. But this year I used for my first
gun a 12-bore gun, weighing 7 pounds,,
using 3 drachms of powder aud 1 ounces
Ne. 0 shot. Why the change? Fer sev
eral reasons. Early in' the season the
birds are tamer, and come within easy
range. Consequently they can be killed
with a lighter charge ; then the lighter
gun does net make se much noise, and be
does net frighten the birds se much ; and
then the recoil from the light gun and
light charge is much less, and that is
something te be considered, I assure you.
Sheet all day from a battery and you'll
find yourself well shaken up at its close
with a raging headache, and probably a
bruised shoulder and skinned fingers.
"Well, we shot all day Monday, taking
turns. After two of us had shot, say half
an hour or an hour, the small beats would
come out from the scow with the'ether
two of our party, pick up the dead birds,
and take us back te the scow. The close
of the day found us with 213 ducks,
mostly red heads. Besides we had at
least 40 stolen by the bushwhackers. Many
of the dead ducks drift off some distance
before the beats go after them, and this
gives the bushwhackers an opportunity te
steal them. The weather wasn't geed for
cauvas backs. They are rough weather
birds, and though we saw many flecks of
them flying high, very few came te our de
coys. On Tuesday we rested. The law
made us, aud wc were glad te. Wc stayed
in the scow, ate ducks, aud had a geed
time. On Wednesday we went at it again.
The weather was net favorable. There
was no breeze, and se our .decoys didn't
work well, and the ducks didn't fly well.
But we boxed ICO, of which 13 were can
vas backs. Our two days' sport gave us
400 birds, net counting some 'greasers'
or 'butter balls ' as they are called, a lit
tle fat, dainty duck that flics low and fast,
pays no attention te decoys, aud can only
be get by chance."
" What was your share of the spoils?"
"1 was lucky. 1 killed 100 en the first
day. The best day's sheeting I ever
aud half that number en Wednesday.
'Is the trip expensive?"
"Ne. Wc take the train here at
did,
4 in
the afternoon for Havre de Grace,
get
there at 8:12 iu the evening, go right
aboard the sleep, for all arrangements
have been made, de our sheeting aud get
back here Thursday merniur. Fer the use
of the batteries we paid $150. That in
cluded everything, except about $1 forpro ferpro forpre
visions. Se you see, dividing the expen
ses among four makes them quite reason
able. We could have paid all our expen
ses with the ducks we shot, and has some
thing ever. The first part of the season
the best batteries bring 50 a day. That's
what we paid. Later they come down te
$40, but rarely less than that, for the
owners can make that usually by sheeting
ducks for the market. I consider the time
and money well spent, for it is rare sport,"

A Wayne County Diana Battling with a
Buck.
Five or six miles back of Equinuuk,
Wayne counts, !' in '" cozy little cabin,
in the midst of a large forest, lives Henry
Merrill with his daughter Clara, aged
eighteen. Clara can row, trap and sheet
as well as any man in Wayne county. A
few days age she started te cress a
large inland lake near her home iu a
light skiff, carrying, as is her custom, a
small rifle slung across her shoulder. She
was paddling leisurely along, aud when
nearly half-way across she discovered a
short distance off an object iu the water
which a nearer approach proved te be a
large five-pronged buck that had been
driven into the water by dogs. She im
mediately leaded her rifle and taking care
ful aim lircd. The ball passed through the
buck's neck, makiug a bad wound. The
animal, enraged by the pain, struck at the
beat with one of its forests, completely
shattering the frail bark and hurling Miss
Merrill into the water. But she was
plucky and could swim as well as she could
sheet. As the buck swam towards her,
she grasped him by the horns, and draw
iug her hunting knife from her belt, she
dealt the animal a terrible blew in the
neck, killing him almost instantly. She
then screamed, of course, and as no -help
arrived she swam te the shore, about au
eighth of a mile, and hurried home. She
put en dry clothes, and after procuring
another beat, rowcdVeut te where her prize
was floating and towed it te shore. When
dressed the animal weighed nearly 300
pounds. This is the eighteenth deer Miss
Merrill has killed, and she feels justly
proud of her last adventure. She will
have the buck's head stuffed as a memento
of her struggle for life in the water.
Alive at 102.
A Most Remarkable Family The
Largest
.nan in America.
Lewis Rockwell, aged 102 years, lives
iu a rickety old house in Pike county, net
far from Uencsdale. He is the eldest of a
family remarkable for the longevity of its
members. Of the Rockwell family there
are eight brothers and sisters yet living.
They are : Lewis Rockwell, aged 102 ;
Abraham Rockwell, ve ; Mrs. Anna Wells,
83 ; Miss Sallie Rockwell, 79 ; Eliza
Rockwell, 77 ; Mrs. Phoebe Gainsford, 75 ;
Mrs. Katherine Brown, 73, and Mrs Lu
cinda Valentine, 70. The aggregate age
of this family is Q43 years, or an average
of ever SO years each. In spite of the fact
that he has many wealthy relations old
Lewis Rockwell has been thrown upon the
town and is new nearly the only " town
charge " in the county. Lewis Cornelius,
who died some years age, was a connec
tion of the Rockwell family. He was at
one time the largest man in America, being
considerably larger than the celebrated
Daniel Lambert, Barnum's giant. Mr.
Cornelius's dimensions are entered upon
the record books in the prothenotary's
office at MHferd, Pike county, as fellows :
" Lewis Cornelius Bern 1704.
"Height, 0 feet.
" Circumference below waist, 8 feet 2
inches.
" Circumference above waist, 0 feet 2 J
inches.
" Circumference of arm above elbow, 2
feet 2 iuches.
" Circumference of arm below elbow, 1
feet G inches.
"Circumference of wrist, 1 feet 3
inches.
"Circumference of thigh, i feet 2
inches.
"Circumference of calf of leg,
feet
inches.
"Circumference of ankle. 1 feet 7
nclics.
" Weight, without any clothing what
ever, 045 pounds."
This is'the only authentic record of Mr.
Cornelius's size extant. As he had been
sick some time, he lest ever 50 pounds of
his weight. He was net weighed until
after his death, and when in full health
would have tipped the scales at 700 pounds.
His wife was a very slight woman, and
weight just 100 pounds. They had three
sons, whose weight was 815 pounds, an
average of 272 pounds each. The only
surviving son, Jehn Cornelius, new weighs
CG0 pounds.
The Giraffe.
The tallest of all earthly dwellers, the
Giraffe erects its stately head far above
any animal that walks the face of the
glebe. It is an inhabitant of various
parts of Africa, aud is evidently a unique
being, comprising in itself an entire tribe.
The height of a full-grown Giraffe is
from eighteen te twenty feet. The great
est part of this enormous stature is obtain
ed by the extraordinarily long neck. It
feeds upon the leaves of trees. It is a
gentle and playful animal, readily attach
ing itself te its companions, or its keep
ers. As far as is at present known, the
Giraffe is a silent animal, like the Eland
and the Kangaroo, and has never bcen
heard te utter a sound, even when strug
gling in the agonies of death. Weed's III.
