Our Great
Semi -Annual Sale

try not to remember what merchandise
costs, only what price will sell it quickly.

chandise MUST and will be closed out, at
some price, at the earliest moment possi

of merchandise that is practically supply

the prices make it folly not to provide for
your future needs now.

East Ilrady, Pa.. July 11. Wishing
to experience the novelty of being In
the water during a storm J. R. A id
ley Lindsay, 2;t years old, and James

in tho Allegheny river here while a

into the river, killing both. Doys an
hour later found the bodies lying In

Robber Shot by Conductor Pardon
Mislaid 18 Years.
The diplomatic relations between
America and Vene.uola that have
Ixlsted uninterruptedly for more than
hair a century though In recent
years severely Btralned, are complete
ly severed. Senor Veloas Goltlcoa, tho
Vener.uelnn charge d'affaires, called at
the state department by appointment
to present to Acting Secretary Bacon
notice from his government that he
was to close up tho Venezuelan lega
tion tn Washington.
The charge explained to the acting
secretary that the action of the state
department In withdrawing Jacob
Sleeper, tho American charge, from
Caracas nmde It necessary for his gov
ernment to take similar action In the
case of Its own legation In Washington.
Just what took place between Act
ing Secretary Bacon and the charge
cannot be known beyond the fact that
the latter presented his letters of re
call. He made no demand for his
passports nor could he do so consist
ently tn view of the fact that Foreign
Minister Paul had declined to Issue
such passports to the American
charge when he withdrew from Cara
cas, on th ground that there was no
necessity for' passports, the country
being In peace and his person not be
ing threatened.
Senor Veloz communicated to Mr.
Bacon the fact that files anil papers of
the Venezr.el.m legation would tie
placed in custody of Senor l'lmental,
the Vene.ue.kr.i consul general in New
York. This statement Is regarded as
an Indication that the Venezuelan gov
ernment will follow the precedent es
tablished by the I'rited States In re
fraining from interfering with trade
bv closing the consulates, notwith
standing the breech In diplomatic re
lations.
