It is utterly impossible to quote prices for this aate
and do justice to the goods offered. Besides the va
i riety is iufinite and at best we could only touch a
few items out of so many, that quotations would be
valueless.
We May Say, However,
That the price cuts iu every instance are strong and
deep, that nothing has been .spared in the general
sacrifice, and that buyers at this department during
the next ten days cm count on saving at least 25c
on every $1.00 spent, while at the same time, they
get the newest and best Kn t Goods of every descrip
tion that the world has to offer.

the lln.il tough draft of the amend- '
ments to the "tipper" bill, but the
members are not at all sine that they
can get their amendments Introduced

The committee decided upon an
amendment which will give ths coun

When the committee leached the
long clause In the hill which provides
tint all appointments In the various
department shall be made under n civil

an riiimndinont that the l tiles and icg-
ulatlons governing the examinations .

councils after their adoption by the
mayor and heads of deimitimnt. I
This brought the whole civil seivlce
question under discussion and Mr,

ELECTING OFFICERS
FOR THEIR REPUBLIC
An Inteiestinp Rattle- Now Being
Fought in Rooms of the Boys'
Industrial Association
Tho school of modem politics is a
term which may be applied to tho
Hoys' Industrial association. The MO
or more members of the association
aie divided Into states, each ono of
which has lis own ofuceis. Tho state
me thMnelvcfl part of the national
government, fashioned ns closely as
possible to our own executive manage
ment. Last Friday ofheors were nominated
for president and vice president and
since then the elections I.ave been go
ing on, and will be completed by next
rilduy night, when the lesult will be
known. The two panics are deslg
mted as the Washington and Mc
Klnloy initios.
The boys cany on a regular cam
paign nnd have their men working In
the Interests of each candidate. At
the Kills every official found at the
full fledged voting booth Is stationed,
and the prospective voter in HUhJected
to a sliaip examination as to pay
ment of taxes, etc.
The candidates of the Washington
party are James McOnan for president,
and Claude Collcer for vice president.
Katie- Leader nnd Montoe Harris aro
(iindldates for pi evident and vice pres
ident, lespeetlvety, on the opposing
paitv
Perhaps the most Interesting featuro
of the campaigning Is the campaign
posters, which exhibit a groat deal of
oilglnallty nnd ingenuity in their con
ntrtietlon. Voters aro uiged to cast
their votes for "tlio school boys'
friend," "the minor boys' friend," etc.
Tho platform of the Washington
party provides thnt all boys who chi
not regularly attend their company
meetings should lose their trades. It
believes In beneficial societies and tho
abolishment of visitors' tickets.
The McKlnley platform stands for
nn Inspector of the peace and un as

AMERICAN BASE BALL
LEAGUE ORGANIZED
Will Submit Contracts to Playere on
Plans of tho Protective
Association.
fly Eielmlvc Wire fro-n The Associated Pre".
Chicago, Jan IP. Reorganization ol!
the American niue Ball League anil
it." expansion 110111 a minor to a major
Iiuguo was completed at today's meet
ing of the magnates, and adjournment!
taken until borne time In Match. A6
that meeting, which will bo held in
Philadelphia, on n date to bo an
nounced later, the season's playing
schedule will be given out by Pie.sl
den It m Johnson nnd tho committee
on lules, consisting of Comlskey, oC
Chicago: Connie Mack, of Philadel
phia, and McGiaw. of Baltimore, will
niako its report. Tho season will bo
of the saino length as last year. 140
d.is. although it is understood th
opening eluto may bo llxed n week;
later than last reason. Charles W.
Homer e, of Cleveland, was today eject
ed vice president of the, league.
Tho American League will submle
contracts to its players on the plan
advocated by the Players' Protective
association. This plan Involves ai
graded istem of contracts, of three,
tour and llvo yens no player to bo
bound lor a peilod longer than flvo
yeais. At tho end of that tlmo ho
will bo fico to accept offers from any
other club. This plan does away with
the "tanning" system, n clause in tho
contracts providing that "no player
ha!l bo traded, farmed or sold to any
other club, except with his consent."
So fni as legislation on tho playing
miis 1 concerned, no important
chanjje Is looked for, although, possi
bly, action may lw taken in tho direc
tion of abolishing tho bunt hit.
McfSrnw, however, hai cxprossej
strong opposition t any lueh action.
"The playing schedule will bo given
nut n.t the .March meeting," Haht
Piesldent Johnson nt the close of to
day's meeting.
"Tho American League will go
ahead, regardless" ot nny other organ
ization, though as far utl that is con
cerned wo do not anticipate nny ser
ious eonf'Ict In the schedules."
Connie Mack, who was given tho
Philadelphia fianchlse. left this after
noon for tho east, as did also most of
the other eastern magnates. It w.vi
stutrd today that some Pittsburg capi
tal H Intei ested in tho new Philadel
phia team, but no confirmation of tho
repoit could ho obtained.
Hugh Duffy, tho former Boston cop
tain, haj tdgned a foimal contract to
manage the Milwaukee American
League team for the season.
Cleveland, Jan. 20. President Clias.
Zlnimor. of tho Players' Protcotlvo as
sociation, tonight niado tho following
btntcment:
"If tho National leaguo does not
giant us our request wo may go over
to the American leaguo In a body. That
leaguo has given us what vvo want
without nny demands on our part and
have shown a disposition to hoentliely
fair with us. Tho National leaguo
seems to bo afraid of uj; they distrust
us, Tho National leaguo will learn
that wo 1110 not to be trilled with.
'Die Players' association now has thn
sympathy of DO per cent, of tho play
ers. Fifty members of the Players' as
sociation wilt be present at the meet
ing In Cleveland on Saturday,"
