"Globe-Chinchilla" Overcoats

The way wc sold overcoats on Saturday was marvelous; for notwith
standing the heavy snow fall, our departments were filled with buyers
anxious to get one of our good Storm Repelling Overcoats which we ad
vertised. In fact, the blizzard brought us the big business, as it demon-
strated the necessity for heavy Winter Coats. For where else could such v
qualities of Chinchilla and other Overcoats be seen And where else
could such Low Prices and Superb qualities be found? Surely at no
other store but "The Globe."
But with all our Big Business of the past few weeks ; there's still good /
choosing of a big variety of Overcoats and Suits at remarkable money sav-
Come to Harrisburg's Leading Clothing House, "The Globe," and let \
us prove to you that every garment we advertise is here, as stated; that V
the prices we quoteare represented bygannents of highest quality,
that "THE GLOBE" standard of Excellence is Always Maintained.

MOTHER! IF CHILD'S
TONGUE IS COATED
If cross,feverish, constipated,
give "California Syrup
of Figs."
A laxative to-day saves a sick child
to-morrow. Children simply will not
take the time from play to empty their
bowels, which become clogged up with
waste, liver gets sluggish; stomach
sour.
Look at the tongue, mother! If j
coated, or your child is listless, cross,
feverish, breath bad, restless, doesn't
eat heartily, full of cold or has sore
throat or any other children's aliment,
give a teaspoonful of "California
Syrup of Figs," then don't worry, be
cause It is perfectly harmless, and in
a few hours all this constipation poi
son, sour bile and fermenting waste
will gently move out of the bowels,
and you have a well, playful child
again. A thorough "Inside cleansing" ■
is ofttlmes all that is necessary. It
should be the first treatment given in
any sickness.
Beware of counterfeit fig syrups.
Ask your druggist for a sf>-cent bottle
of "California Syrup of Figs," which
lias full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
printed on the bottle. Look carefully
and see that it Is made by the "Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Company." Don't
be fooled!— Advertisement.

MONDAY EVENING.
SUFFRAGE WILL NOT
CUE HILLS
J
Dr. McCuaig Sayj It Will Come,
But Adds That Vote Can't
Do Everything
That woman suffrage wili come, but
that it will hardly correct all the
evils predicted for it, was the con
clusion reached by Dr. J. Aspinwall
I McCuaig In his talk on "Woman's Re
; lationship to Man" before an audience
| of women in Zion Lutheran Church
this afternoon.
He said the relationship of the sexes
in its present state of inequality has
caused the problem of woman suf
frage.
"The sore trouble that exists to-day
has come about because man has been
untrue to his responsibility," said Dr.
McCuaig. "The laws that prevail are
' of his making, but in no place where
j he has spoken has he placed woman
on an equal footing with himself.
"There is a sense In which woman
' has a superiority to man, as surely
ias man has a priority to woman—in
beauty of form, In flash of thought, in
spiritual sensibility. It is the truth,
too. that in marriages both the man
and the woman bring essentials and
as specialists In varying essentials
stand together, equally one. But be
yond this, under the constitution of
life, man stands in his investigations
and struggles toward a higher civiliza
tion, as an advance column before
the mothers, wives daughters and
sisters and the advancement of wo
man depends upon the enlightenment
of man.
Suffrage to Come
"That woman suffrage will come
I have no doubt," went on the speak
er. "That woman suffrage will work
the needed cure, I hardly hope; for
deeper than the wrong of unjust laws
Is the wrong and harm and hurt of
unjust men. I like the doctrine ex
pressed in the words, I think, of Mr.
Bok —'Man In the world writing its
laws is not to be compared to woman
In the home making It laws. Born of
a woman as a babe; led by woman as a
child, taught by woman as a boy;
j loved by a woman as a man, he Is the
lawmaker, but she Is the man
maker.' "
In four talks in the city yesterday
Dr. McCuaig advised Christians to
dress soberly and within thefr means.
He described the hanging of John Er
ble and drew from this hanging a les
son indicting the State which allowed
the sale of whisky and the opportunity
that drove Frbel to kill the woman.
This talk was given at It o'clock in
I Lenny 's Theater, after Dr. McCuaig
I had told an audience in the Fourth
Street Church of God "How to Love."
I He spoke at an afternoon meeting to

death and added that there was no
ovidence of criminal wrong doing on
Kennedy's part.
Accountants at Work
Expert accountants began an ex
amination to-day In the finances of
Kennedy's department. Employes of
the State Comptroller went into every
detail of the accounts a week ago and
found everything in excellent shape.
While it is thought that no Irregulari
ties exist a complete statement of the
condition of the State's money will be
prepared.
Mr. Kennedy's successor will be
chosen by the Legislature In joint
session. Atorney General Carmody
to-day expressed the opinion that a
majority vote of all the elected legis
lators would be required to select a
ne wtreasurer. In that event, It was
pointed out, the Republicans would
have to receive assistance from the
Progressives or else face the possibil
ity of a deadlock in case the Demo
crats stood together. The Republi
cans on joint ballot are able to muster
only 06 votes, seventy-nine in the As
sembly and seventeen in the Senate,
while a majority is 101.

New York, Feb. 16.—The suicide of
State Treasurer John ,J. Kennedy in
Buffalo on the eve of his examination
Tohn Doe graft Investigation In
this city to-day, will not halt the in
qui.y into his office and affairs.
This was Indicated to-day by mem
bers of the Assembly graft investigat
ing committee, known as the Sullivan
committee. It was said that the com
mittee would probably authorize an
immediate Investigation, following its
meeting in Albany to-night to select
counsel for its grant hunt. Assistant
District Attorney John Klrkland
Clarke, of this city. Is the most likely
candidate for counsel and will prob
ably get the appointment.
Speaker Thaddeus C. 'Sweet, of the
Assembly, who conferred with District
Attorney Charles S. Whitman regard
ing the graft hunt Sunday night. Is one
of those who urged the Kennedy In
vestigation.
"He was one of my best friends,"
ho said, "but since he took his life the
day before lie was to he questioned
concerning the affairs of hln office and
his connection with the bonding busi
inesH, I think his friends will demand
thai nn Inquiry b« made. I aT n sure

Kennedy's Friends Want
Complete Investigation
Buffalo, N. Y., Feb. 10. —A completo
Investigation of the affairs of former
State Treasurer John J. Kennedy, who
committed suicide yesterday, was de
manded to-day by his friends and rela
tives here. Coniidence was expressed
I that such an Inquiry will disclose that
the affairs of the State Treasurer's
! office have been incorrectly adminis-
I tered. William H. Kennedy, the son,
i sent a telegram to Governor Glynn
! urging an audit of his father's ac-
I counts as State Treasurer.
| No explanation of the suicide was
j forthcoming to-day other than that
, first given out, that Mr. Kennedy took
his life while temporarily deranged,
and that the derangement was caused
by brooding over the impending ordeal
of cross-examination at the hands of
District Attorney Whitman, who had
subpenaed the State Treasurer to ap
pear in New York to-day.
Mr. Kennedy killed himself yester
day noon at the Markeen Hotel,
where he lived with his wife, son and
daughter. He cut his throat with his
razor in a lavatory adjoining the ball
room of the hotel. The body was
found by his son.

that the chances are that he will bo
retained after all.
