Tenth stteet. Ptosldent Truesdale ex
pected to accompany hlni to oversee
the woik of establishing tho new de
partment ot superintendent of motlvo
power, but was delayed In New York
by a special meeting of the director
ate. He will probably come on today
or tomorrow.
THE NEW DEPAItTHENT
In the meantime Superintendent
Fltzglbbon will ptoceed with the work
of oiganlzlng his depaitment. A part
of this task Is tho selection of assis
tants for the immediate work of the

Mr. Fitzglbbon when seen esterday

of his delre to be relieved tiom the
arduous duties of that position because
of his advanced ears.

There ts no one feature
which can so distinguish the
home or be so productive of
so much comfort and enjoy-
- ment to the lamilv a
AYniDgs at tiie windows
They have, however, here
tolore been made to order
only, and tcquired the services
of an expert to put up. It has
practically been impossible to
obtain them in some places
remote tiom the makeis, and
evervuK'io the cost has been
so gte.u as to be almost pro
hibitive. . .
The Climax Awning
Is not only llist-class, it
is distinctly "Kilt cilL'e." It
not only possesses all the fea
Hires of an awning made 1 1
your order, but it improves
upon and adds to them. It is
HANDSOME,
CONVENIENT.
DURABLE.
CHEAP.
It tan be put up by anybody
without tools or experience
and guaranteed to fit.
