The Kentucky Democratic Conven
tion indorsed the Chicago platform
'without the slightest qualification,"
and the condition of paralysis that fol
lowed is something extraordinary.
The late Itobert iiouner at times
spent fil.OOO a week in advertising Lis
Iper. He was a printer, and the great
fortune he made by using print's ink
shows how accurately he gauged its
value.
A svstkm of free schools has been
started in Manila, and it will be ex
tended ait fast as the L-lands quiet dowD.
It is a fair average (specimen of the
tyranny the United States has in con
cuntemplation. "Do voL' want the flag to go liack be
fore an armed force?" asked (governor
Jtoowevelt of a man who said he was
oppowed to keeping the Philippines.
The Governor stated the csne fairly, as
far as it has been developed.
It is authoritatively announced that
Olouel Hawkins will be commissioned
as Brigadier General immediately on
his arrival at San Francisco, and that
Lieutenant Colonel Barnett will I
promoted to Colonel at the same time.
Gkn. Charles King asserts that nine
tenths of the Filipinos can read and
write, a remarkable statement, in view
of the fact that V percent of the Span
ish people are illiterate. Perhaps Gen
era! King meant nine tenths of 1 per
cent.
Voki comes from 8outh Dakota that
a promineut oflieial forged a letter from
the Philippines charging that sick sol
diers were driven from their beds to go
on the firing line. The yarn was so
absurd that an investigation was started
and the forger exposed.
Fbom central and south?rn counties
of Pennsylvania comes the complaint
of a great scarcity of farm labor. The
increasing demand for labor in facto
ries, especially in iron and steel works,
has drawn largely on the rural districts,
and large numbers of farmers find them
selves short of help.
Is New York a jury awarded a young
woman a verdict of 49 i'S in a suit for
breach of promise against a Swedish
count. The jury no doubt appraised
the actual value of the fellow at f-0,
but wisely made the young woman
think she was getting a regular bar
gain in a verdict for $4'.t!ts marked
down from ?-0. She could not appeal
from such a figure.
Governor Stone was given five can
non, part of the armament of Cervera's
fleet, captured at Santiago, Cuba, one
vear since, for distribution among the
cities of this State, and the favored
municipalities are Philadelphia, Alle
gheny, Wilkes Ba're, Harrisburg and
Bradford. The cannon are six-inch,
smooth-bore bronze, seventy-four inch
es long, aud weighing 1,300 pounds.
Jnx-.E Lui'iEX W. Doty, b) has
served the people of Westmoreland
county as President Judge of the Coun
ty Courts for a full term of ten years,
was last week nominated by the Dem
ocrats of that county to succeed him
self. Judge Doty was elected through
a division among Republicans, and his
only hope now is that the opposition
will afford him the same favorable op
portunity. Hox Henry C. Payne, of Wiscon
rfu, a member of the Republican Na
tional committee, and one of the most
astute political managers in the north
west, is quite frequently named as
chairman of the Republican National
committee, to take the place of Chair
man Mark Hanua, who is not a mem
ber of the committee, and who is doubt
less averse to going through another
campaign such as he went through
three years ago.
While a number of good names
have been mentioued in connection
with the Republican nomination for
State Treasurer, none of them, accord
ing to the Herald's way of thinking,
measure up to the popular standard as
does Col. James E. Harnett, now on his
way home from the Philippines. Pos
sessedof all the netssary qualifications,
young, vigorous and popular, with
a splendid military record, be would
make an ideal and iuvincible candi
date. A unanimous nomination should
be tendered him by the State conven
tion.
The floods in Texas are phenomena
in extent and dettructivenese. When
it is said that the flood district is 500
miles long and 50 miles wide the idea
is formed that niuch of Central and
Southern Texas hits been suddenly sub
merged under a lake, and to some ex
tent this is true. In such a visitation
the waste of waters is upon the inhab
itants before they realize the danger,
and often the flocd bursts in from an
unexpected direction. There are in
stances reported in which hundreds of
fugitives found themselves cut otT on
all sides and could only wait for the
deluge to close in upon them.
Some of the Democratic papers are
calling the war in the Philippines a
failure. It is to be hoped that the Dem
ocrats will be induced to put this iulo
their natloual platform eleven months
hence, if Aguinaldo happens to be still
at large at that time. The war of se
cession was called a failure by the Dem
ocratic Convention of lsoi. The 212
electoral votes which the Republican
candidate got a few months after the
Iteniocratic Convention was held, as
compared with the 21 which the Dem
ocratic nominee received, shows what
the country thought of that sort of talk.
The election a year and a third hence
will give the same sort of an answer to
this later copprrbesdistn if there is any
of it next year.

Onraaixea at Obm.
The President bas teeued an order for
tbe organization of ten new res-meuU of
infantry volunteer, each to constat of 50
officers aud 13U9 enlisted men. Tbey w ill
be numbered from twenty-sixth to thirty
ninth. The twenty-seventh and the
twenty-eighth are to beorg-aniated at Camp
Mead. The term of service will end
June 30, 1301 and the enlistments may be
made witnout restriction as to citizenship
or education.
Applicants for com missions, except offi
cers of the regular army, ill be required
to pass a tatiftfai'tory examination a to
agf, moral, menial and physical fit new,
and capacity to command troo s, and
must bare hd service during the Spauish
American war. The recruiting service of
the regular army will be charged with re
cruiting from the country at large men
for service in these volunteer regiment.
Except in special cases, only unmarried
men will be enlisted for these regiment.
In view of the probable severe service of
these regimeuu, and the climatic condi
tions to which they may be subjected, the
physical qualification of both officers and
enlisted men is of first importance. Only
those fully qualified will be appointed or
enlisted.
Reports from recruiliogstations through
out the country confirm the belief of the
War Department that there are on hand
enough recruits to meet the needs of
Major General Otis for filling up the
regular regiments now in the Philippines.
Orders have been sent to the different
stations to send as rapidly as possible to
San Francisco all recruits on hand. At
San Francisco they will be mobilized and
drilled.
Dewey to Ton Diederieht.
Rerun, July 5. The Neueste Naoh
richten to-day published letters ex
changed between Admiral Dewey and
Vi Admiral Yon Diedericbs. The lat
ter' letter is dated March 17, and reads:
"Sir : I have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your communication of
March 4 informing uie your excellency

gratulating your excellency sincerely
upon this new token of recognition, I beg
you to believe your good news has given

"DlKnERICHS."
Admiral Dewey replied April 16, say
ing: "Dear Admiral Yon Diederichs: I wish
to thank you most heartily for your cor
dial letter of congratulation upon my pro
motion. It is a great pleasure for me to
feel my advancement is a source of satis
faction to you. and I rejoice that our dif
ferences have been of aewspaper manu
facture. Hoping to have the pleasure of
meeting you again before leaving this
station, I sin very sincerely,
"Dewey."
Burglar Saved the Bafcy.
New York, July 5. Intent on robbery,
a big, husky burglar entered the home of
Patrolman John T. Farrell. at No. 551
Quincy street, Brooklyn, early this morn
ing. Mrs. Farrell was awakened by a
strange voice commanding: "Get up;
your kid is strangling."
But half realizing the situation, the
mother made her way, half asleep, to her
babj's crib in the next room, and did her
best to stop the child's suffering.
The burglar watched the woman a
moment or two and then going to the
room of the elder brother, Robert, shook
him roughly snd ordered him to get out
of bed and help bis mother. The youth,
teeing a strange man, demanded to know
what he was doing in the house.
"I came in to rob," be replied, gruffly,
"and was done op by the young one.
Now pile out and get a move on you."
And after waiting until the boy did so,
the burglar said : "I hope the baby will
be all right soon," slouched down-stairs
and disappeared through the front door.
Moved for Side Fatal too Sooa.
Towasoa, Pa., July 7. Judge Searle,
of Montrose, specially presiding, to-day
filed the first decision on the new bicy
cle side-path law yet made in Pennsyl
vania. A rule was granted on th Coun
ty Commissioners to show cause why a
mandamus should not be issued com
manding them to levy a tax on bicycles
as recommended. The Court discharged
the rul, and in his opinion holds that
the Side-Path Commissioners do not
take office until January 1 next year, and
that their recommendation had no more
force than that of any three citizens.
The opinion desires the County Com
missioners to provide the Assessors with
books and have the enumeration taken
before the Side- Path Commission begins
work, that the members thereof may
become possessed of a portion of the
kno-elgr necessary to judicially deter
mine the amount of a tax to be reoom
meudetl. Bet Fire to Hit Wife.
Blosshi ro, Pa., July 8. A fieudish
attempt at wife murder was made by
Isaac Borreli, s baker, of this place, to
day. According to the story of Mrs.
Borreli, her husband deliberately set file
to her clothing with lighted paper, snd
then beid her hands while he watched
the flames enveloping her.
The shrieks of the suffering woman
attracted the neighbors, snd she was taken
away from the man and the flames ex
tinguished. Her body was badly burned
and ber recovery seems Improbable.
Her husband was arrested and lodged in
jail at Wellsboro. They are each about
6u years old and have a large family. The
husband's attentions to another woman
caused the trouble between them.

"I should like to have the opportuulty
to take by the band and thank every in
dividual member of the volunteer forces
fV,r remaining iu the Philippines and as
sisting in the work there beyond the time
required of them by the terms of tbiir
enlistment," said President McKinley
Thursday to Governor Stone, Mayor
Diebl, of Pittsburg, and a Urge commit
tee of friends of the Tenth Pennsylvania,
who called on him to ask that its colonel,
Hawkins, should be made a brigadier
general fur bis gallant services, and that
the Presi'ient should take part in the re
ception to the regiment upon iti return to
Pittsburg, both of which reqneata the
President considered favcrably.
He eagerly availed himself of the op
portunity to say publicly, what he bas
said so often privately, that he has the
highest appreciation of the exceptional
patriotism and self-sacrificing services of
the volunteers who remained with Gen
eral Otis after peace with Spain w as for
mally declared, and they were legally
free from any obligation to remain. He
proposed, he said, to show this apprecis
tiou in every possible way, si.d would
gladly endeavor to try to arrange bis
Western trip, planned chiefly to honor
the returning volunteers, so as to be in
Pittsburg on the 20th of August, the day
Governor Stone informed him the Tenth
Pennsylvania was expected to arrive.
He also said be would communicate
with General Otis about Colonel Hawk
ins, and if there was no military objec
tion he would select Colonel Hawkins for
a brigadier generalship, believing, as be
did, that if he was correctly informed,
Colonel Hawkins had earned it.
Governor Stone described to the Presi
dent the arrangements which had been
made by the people of Western Pennsyl
vania for a grand reception to the Tenth
Pennsylvania upon i s return. He told
the President that he and his committee
had called at the War Department to try
to arrange to have the regiment mustered
out in Pittsburg instead of si San Fran
ciscc, in order that it might be kept to
gether and might not disband until it
reached Pittsburg. Adjutant General Cor
bin had told them this was impracticable,
but had suggested that the War Depart
ment would not pay the regiment in San
Francisuo, hut would send a pay car with
the special trains to te provided for the
regiment by the people of Pennsylvania,
anvl pay the men off as they crossed the
continent.
He also said that, while they would
have to surrender their anus at San Fran
cisco, they could take their colors home
with them. Of course, the individuals
would be free to go where tbey pleased as
soon as they had been mustered out in
San Francisco, but he thought if this ar
rangement were made they would all
prefer to remaiu together until after the
reception in Pittsburg. Governor Stone
told the President that this plan had been
accepted by bis committee as the best
possible in the circumstances.
A a American Bailroad in China.
Moneyed men from the United Stales
have secured a franchise for building a
railroad from Hong Kong to Han Kow,
China, a distance of nearly 700 miles.
While railroads are necessary to a nation's
prosperity, health is still more necessary.
A sick man can't make money if there
are a thousand railroads. One of the
reasons why America is so progressive is
the fact that in every drug store is sold
Hosteller's Stomach Bitters, that cele
brated tonic for the weak, appetizer for
the dyspeptic and sedative for the ner
vous. It is taken with great success by
thousands of men and women who are
run down, pale and weak. It increases
the weight, and the gain is permanent
ad substantial.
Eeptilet Bits Flood's Befugeei.
Austin, Tex., July 7. The most hor
rible incident connected with any modern
flood disaster was disclosed to-day in a
long-distance telephone message received
by Governor Sayers from Sealey, in the
heart of the inundated district. The mes
sage says that, surrounded by countless
poisonous reptiles, also refugees from the
floods, 1000 starving persons are huddled
together on a mound above the rushing
water three miles below Sealey.
Many of the terrified occupants of the
mound have already been bitten by the
deadly reptiles, and unless they are
speedily rescued hundreds of others
must meet a similarly dreadful fate.
Those who do not die of the poisonous
snake bites are doomed to starve, for
there is not a particle of food within
reach of the imprisoued inultitude.whose
number is mainly composed of negroes.
Crowded together with the 1000 imper
iled human beings are several hundred
head of live stock, and the cattle and oth
er animals manifest as lively a horror of
the serpents as do the panicky people,
many of whom are already iu a dying
condition.

NEW YORK'

SYLVANIA'S LEAD
SilverHes o! This Stale Elated
Over Tammany's Demon
stration For Bryan.
I ISSiE OF THE fill Cfffli.
Creasy Presented to the World nmeo as
a Champion of Bryanum, but Tbey
Quickly Point to His Corporate on Record
in the Legislature.
(Speclu! Correspondence.)
Philadelphia, July 11. The Bryan
leaders of the Pennsylvania Democ
racy are In high spirits over the dem
onstration for the free silver chief at
the great Tammany Fourth of July
meeting in New York city. Despite
the fact that Croker had issued orders
that there should be no "free silver
nonsence" in any of the speeches, and.
notwithstanding the efforts of his lieu
tenants to carry out his instructions,
the Tammany braves fairly went wild
with enthusiasm at the mere mention
of Bryan's name by ex-Governor Hogg,
of Texas. Hogg, who was not down ou
the list of speakers, was called to act
as a substitute orator. He made a
rattling address, and soon had the
crowd shouting for Bryan and the
Chicago platform. He completely up
set the scheme to start a presidential
boom of Mayor Van Wyck, of New
York.
PENNSYLVANIA SILVERITES RE
JOICE. All this shows, according to the
Pennsylvania silveritcs, that the move
ment started for the renominatlon of
Bryan for president at the recent state
convention at Harrlshurg is going to
be taken up by the Democracy of th3
country, regardless of the protests of
the convention leaders of the minority
party. Pennsylvania Democrats expect
to be at the head of the procession for
the Nebraska leader, and they are al
ready planning to have the vote for
their state ticket at the November
election presented as an argument iu
support of their contention that the
rank and file of the party in this state
want Bryan once more as their stand
ard bearer.
It has developed that a quiet move
ment has already been inaugurated
among the workingmen in the min
ing districts of the state to line them
up for the nominees on the Democratic
state ticket upon the argument that
these candidates are all Bryan men
and that the platform upon which
they are running meets with the ap
proval of the leaders who are en
gineering ths canvass for Bryan's re
nomination. There is a special effort
being made In liehalf of the Democratic
candidate for state treasurer, William
T. Creasy, on the score that he is a ram
pant Bryanite, that he stood up for
Bryan when many others in his lo
cality repudiated the silver cause and
the party's candidate for president,
and that he today openly proclaims his
loyalty to the Chicago platform and
favors the movement inaugurated at
the convention which nominated him
for Bryan's renomination.
LOOKING UP CREASY'S RECORD.
It is not believed that much head
way has been made among the min
ers in favor of Creasy. The Democrats
among them do not, as a rule, object
to his free silver views, but many of
them are aware of Creasy 's attitude
upon important legislation affecting
corporations and other matters in
which the workingmen are interested.
Tbey do not regard him as a friend of
the laboring man, and hold that an
investigation of his record In the leg
islature will disclose the fact that his
course in the bouse of representatives
was entirely satisfactory to the cor
porations. His bitter hostility to the McCarrell
jury reform bill, which was advocated
by organized workingmen In every
county in the state, and which was
drafted with especial reference to af
fording protection to employes of rail
roads and other large corporations,
will lose Creasy thousands of votes in
the very districts in which his free
silverite champions were most hope
ful of his showing strength at the fall
election.
BOLTERS' TALE OF WOE.
The David Martin contingent of the
insurgent organization in this city are
just now In bad humor. They are
reaping the reward of their party
treachery at Harrisburg during the
session of the legislature. The an
nouncement that the services of Fac
tor Inspector Godfrey, from the Thirty
first ward, will not be required after
the end of this month was not at all
pleasing to Register of Wills Hackett.
w ho is the acknowledged Martin leader
of this ward, and the political backer
of Godfrey. The senator and the three
members of the house of representa
tives from Mr. Hackett's district co
operated with the insurgent organiza
tion in their alliance with the Democ
racy at Harrisburg during all of the
last session of the legislature. This
unnatural political combine was re
sponsible for the defeat of the several
measures proposed by Governor Stone
for the raising of revenue. The killing
of these bills by the Martin-Hackett
members of the legislature, with thu
assistance of the Democrats, placed the
Republican state administration in the
embarrassing position which necessi
tated a veto by Governor Stone of a
portion of the school appropriation.
For this the Republican governor has
been roundly denounced by the very
lusiirpents and Democrats whose blind
Adjoining Hackett's representative
district is the Sixteenth, which is made
up of the Sixteenth and Eighteenth
wards. This district sent two mem
bers of the house who were part of the
Martin band of insurgents. A complete
revolution U now working out in the
Eighteenth ward. This ward was car
ried at the Republican primaries for
Martin, with the aid of the Warwick
police and other department employes.
I'nder Mayor Ashbridge's bdministra
tion Martin ism has no control of the
police. The officers and men living in
the Eighteenth ward do not now have
to follow the Martin leadership. This
is naturally an anti-combine ward. A
new alliance has been marie with for
mer followers of Martin and the friends
of Israel W. Durham, which will mean
the loss of this legislative district to
the insurgents and the certain election
of stalwart Republican representatives
In the future.
Thus one by one the old Martin dis
tricts are leaving him and are falling
Into line with the regulars. It Is cer
tain that the stalwarts will elect every
delegate to the Republican state con
vention from the senatorial district
which was misrepresented at Harris
burg by that caucus bolter, Senator
J. Bayard Henry. When Henry comes
up for re-election he will be bowled
out completely.
Ia local politics the contest for sher
iff has narrowed down to two aspir
ants, Wencel Hartman and Deputy
Sheriff Pennewill. The leaders are
gradually getting together behtnd Hart
man. There is no doubt that Rich
mond will be dropped and that Select
Councilman Black will be named for
city commissioner. This will not meet
the views of one David aiartin, but, as
has been said frequently in these col
umns, it is to longer necessary to con
sult Martin on any political topic. Any
man who deliberately belts the choice
of his party and who advocates th
pernicious and anarchistlcal doctrine
of minority rule cannot expect to bs
listened to. much less obeyed. Mr.
David Martin is about done for In thti
town, and Mr. Richmond, his political
ally, will not succeed himself as city
commissioner.

SENATOR PENROSE AT WORK.
Slute the governor and his delega
tion called upon the president United
States Senator Penrose has been look
ing after the matter.
"Recognizing the great interest in
the return of the Pennsylvania troops
from Manila," remarked Senator Pen
rose, in a chat on this subject, "and
appreciating the desire of the citizens
of Pennsylvania to fittingly honor
these brave sons of the Keystone state,
I have had several Interviews with the
president and the officials of the war
department on this subject The pres
ident from the outset showed a keen
and patriotic Interest In the move
ments of the 'Fighting Tenth,' and at
once evinced a desire to co-operate
with the citizens or Pennsylvania in
any demonstration that might be got
ten up as a tribute of admiration of
the gallant work of our volunteers In
the sharp fighting in the Philippines.
When at my last Interview I empha
sized the request that the services of
Colonel Hawkins be recognized by his
promotion to the rank -of brigadier
general the president assured me that
it would give him pleasure to honor
Colonel Hawkins, and that he would
do so if he found no obstacle In the
way.
"As I was leaving Washington I in
structed my secretary to keep me ad
vised as to developments in this case,
and 1 have been delighted to bear from
him over the long distance telephone
that Colonel Hawkins sill certainly
be mustered out with the rank of brig
adier general of volunteers."
It is understood that Colonel Haw
kins has no special desire to remain In
the army, though his promotion on his

INSURGENTS ARE UNHAPPY.
The interest which Senator Penrose
and Governor Stone have shown In ihe
proposed advancement of Colonel Haw
kins has been annoying to the Repub
lican insurgents, who for weeks hav?
been proclaiming that the stalwart
Republicans were determined to side
track Colonel Hawkins in favor of
Lieutenant Colonel Barnett. The In
surgent newspaper bureau long ago
announced that the regulars had slated
Barnett for state treasurer and turned
down , Hawkins. Now they say the
friends of Colonel Quay will be willing
to shower military honors upon Haw
kins, but the political favors must go
to Barnett. Th facts are that neither
Hawkins. Barnett nor any one else U
slated for state treasurer. If Hawkins
de3iie the Republican nomination for
that office it is believed Colonel Quay's
friends will heartily support him. The
insurgents would be chagrined to find
either Hawkins or Barnett nominated
for state treasurer, as they would like
to see the Democratic nominee for this
office. Creasy, get a big vote, even
though they know his election is an
impossibility.
The nomination of either Hawkins
or Barnett would be putting an able
man and a brave soldier against an or
dinary individual, a Bourbon Bryan
He of the Creary type, and lu this year
of patriotism there could be no doubt
of the result of such a contest in tne
state of Pennsylvania.
THERE IS NO SLATE.
The organs of the Flinn-Martln bush
whackers have been trying to make out
that an entire slate has been arranged
for the Republican state convention to
indorse. There is nothing in it. The
bushwhackers, the insurgents, the bolt
ers and the party wreckers have been
repudiated on all sides, and the con
vention will, by the votes of the Repub
lican citizens, be overwhelmingly
friendly to Senator Quay. It is to be
expected that the resolutions will in
dorse McKinley and Stcne, as they
should do, and will denounce the at
tempted selfish and self seeking boss
Um of Flinn and Martin, but there U
no slate. Philadelphia will ask for the
nomination of Josiuh R. Adams for the
superior court, and in all probability
the request will be granted, but the
contest for the supreme court vacancy
la optin, a3 is that for state treasurer.
Yandtrbilt'i Big Deal.
North Tosawam a X Y., July 9.
Through the representative in New York
of a westeru newspape. . who la keeping
quiet because be has invested in Union
Pacific stock, it was learned last flight
that the Vanderbilts some time ago signed
a preliminary agreement with the Union
Pacific, Chicago .t Northwestern aud
IjikeSbore.t Michiguu Southern, which
will practically give the Central control
of these roads, aud thus establish a trans
continental line for the latter.
The purchase of the Boston A Albtny
was but one move in the giant enterprise
which has for its object the establishment
f a Yanderbilt system stretching from
New York and Boston to San Francisco.
Those on the inside are already buying
Union Pacific stock in anticipation of a
big jump in its value by July 15, when
the deal is expected to be consummated.

" DearMrs.Pi kham Wordscannot
express my thanks to you for your kind
advice to me in regard to my health, I
had been running down in health for
about seven years. I had doctored
with good doctors and taken a great
many patent medicines. My trouble
began when my first child was born.
I had a very hard time and after its
birth would have severe flooding spells.
' After my second child I had very
good health until last winter when I
again became pregnant and suffered
very much and miscarried. J came
very near dying1, and the doctor said I
must have an operation, which fright
ened me very much, and concluded to
write to you for your advice, and take
your medicine. Was troubled with the
whites, great pain in back and hips,
sometimes when lying down or sitting'
was unable to get op. Would have
such pain in groins could hardly walk.
' 1 can say I have never seen any
thing so wonderful as Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound and Sana
tive Wa&h. Your remedies have done
wonders for me. Hoping that many
of my suffering sisters may be led to
take your medicine from reading thia
letter, I remain, sincerely yours. Mrs,

Still of the July Clearance.
It is a little abort of marvelous how
trade is keeping up in July, generally
recognised as a dull month. Iu ali our
fifty years experience we have never bad
such an unprecedentedly large July trade
as we are uow enjoying.
There are two prime factors tbe cause
of this every family bas plenty of mon
ey snd we are naming lowr prices for
the high clasn gondii that this ure al
ways carries than in any former season.
Another factor which contributes
largely to its successes is the big assort
ments. Generally when stores like oura
or stores that would belike ours if tbey
knew bow, lo reducing prices, merely
take otT a tew cents here aud there on
some goods that they have bad for a long
while, commonly known as "t.tiekers,"
and then loudly announce a grand re
duction, with the scceut on tbe grand.
H ere prices are tut mere Mm. lows of
former prices. Iu many caes they are
mere shadows of the first cost of the ar
il le,
Wa can not undertake to enumerate
with any degree of satisfaction as we can
when we are selling In m our regular
stock.
Everything that partakes of Summer
goods must t closed outqni. kly without
regard to price.
Write us lir anything yon tr ay want
and the chances are you will get it for
half and lesa of fi rmer price.
Smii. plea will be sent, but it ia not desir
able to ask fortbem because you run tbe
risk of finding the lines closed when
yoor order come back.
