CHARLES HENRY FOX
821 S. Ilrnml Si.
Wilmington, Keb. 2. While no di
rectly authentic announcement has been
mndc, there is every indication hero tluit
Alfred I du Pont nud JMerre S.
du Pont, nftcr several jcars of legal
fights, hno buried the hatchet,
The first indication of this came a
few days ngo when state newspapers
owned or controlled by Alfred, which
had been bitterly opposing the new
fcchool code, for lileh Pierre wns held
lepponsible, editorially withdrew that
opposition and began giving praise to
Picrie and iidvocating the code. Next
the Alices, of Dover, who, had been re
garded as Alfred's chief political lieu
tenants in opposition to the regular He
publican organization, which had nl
wajs been friendly to Pierre, though the
latter never took an nctivo part iu poli
tics, began to drop out of party man
agement. So now there appears to be no fight in
the Republican party, everjbody con
sidering that Alfred has "made it up"
with his party enemies, and it looks as
jf all would work along together, polit
ically und otlierwiifec.
As all litigation is over and Aided
seems to hi about to retire from active
politicul diicftion, he is believed to have
gotten out of the fight cnlliely. It is
believed also that he will be taken back
into the management of the du Pont
PowdcrOo., and that he will bo con
sulted in political matters by those
whom he has been fighting heretofore.

February Furartore Sal
i
l)yE HAVE never had a more attractive collection of Furniture a
splendid, varied assortment of NEW Bedroom, Dining-room, Breakfast-room
and Living-room Suits reproductions of the classic designs of
the periods of Chippendale, Hepplewhite, Adam, Queen Anne, Louis XIV,
Louis XV, Louis XVI, William and Mary, the Italian Renaissance, and the
ever popular Colonial. Also innumerable single pieces or Novelty Furniture,
and an unequaled assortment of Sun Parlor or Summer Furniture all at
considerably LESS THAN OUR OWN FAIR
REGULAR PRICES.
The Sale is a notable success, of course. We knew
in advance that it could not be otherwise, simply because
we were sure we had the best selected stock of Furniture
in this city, and because we knew the public were well
informed regarding the higher cost of lumber and labor
and everything that goes into Furniture, and would ap
preciate the February reductions. We own all the
Furniture in the Sale late shipments of which are
coming in from day to day at much lower prices than
we would have to pay for it now, and after this Sale is
over our customers will have to pay considerably more
than our February Sale prices.

To-morrow, $3&.00
Of both Suite and Chercoals in this very remarkable
collection there are about seven hundred Overcoats some
what in the majority. They come from our three most
famous sources of supply the Stein-Bloch Co., Hart,
Schafl'ner & Marx and the "Aleo" factory. They are for
tho most part lots that have been recent lj delivered, in
fulfillment of contracts made months ago. They would cost
now far more than we paid. The saving to our cui'tomers
is relatively greater than our own, because we mark them
at a very close profit even on the lower cost. THE VALUE
IS REALLY EXTRAORDINARY. The Overcoats include
handsome Ulsters, Ulsterettes and plain models, all silk
trimmed. The Suits are dngle-breasted and double
breasted models, of plain blue-flannel, dark Oxford tweed
weave, and a good assortment of worsted mixtures new
stripes and checks in dark shades. Regular winter weights
and plenty of medium weights for men and young men
