Tho unequalled success of Allcock's Porous
Blasters us an external remedy has Induced
unscrupulous parties to oiler imitations,
which thoy endeavor to sell on tho reputa
tion of Allcock's, It is an absurdity to speak
of them in tho same category as tho genuine
porous plaster. Their pretentions are un
founded, their vaunted morit unsupported by
facts, their alleged superiority to or equality
with Allcock's a false pretenso. Tho ablest

Lecture on lnlest!ne.
Last evening Rev. John Gruhler, pastor of
the German Lutheran church, gave a lecture
on "Palestine" In tho church. Tho dis-
course continued for about au hour and proved
vory interesting and at times amusing to the
audience. It was directed to a recital of the
family customs in tho Holy Land, as ob
served by Rev.JGruhler during his service as
a missionary in that country for nearly half
a generation. It covered a minute descrip
tlon of tho household, tho methods of re
ceiving and entertaining guests, and tho
festivities attending the birth of children,
marriages and funerals. There is a request
that Rev. Gruhler should continuo his In
foresting talk on this subject in the near
future.

FINE DRESS GOODS
IpVRESS GOODS is such a bewildering-topic
II) that we will not attempt a full descrip-
tion, but give a partial outline, which you
can fill in by a personal inspection. There are
the plain and changable diagonals; plain, plaid,
striped and invisible plaid serges; fancy mix
tures in all sorts of odd weaves, dots, threads,
cross-threads, hair-lines, lines here and there,
many at a glance appearing alike, but upon ex
amination are found entirely different. Our
assortment of silks is complete china silks,
china surah, plain surah, bengaline, plain, fig
ured and changeable silks, in all the new shot
effects. Full line of fancy braids to match any
color of dress goods.
.In Wraps
Wo find ;tho most stylish and
tho prevailing modo to bo tho
Capo, In some of Its variations,
single, doublo or triple capes. Somo are plain, others very
highly decorated, with fancy indescent braid, butterfly
colors, or somo full arrangemont at tho neck, so much ap
proved this season by tho fominlno fancy. To somo, coats
only aro tho correct garment. To thoso we would say coats
aro equally fashionablo and stylish, many of these having
capes also attached sometimes one, two or three, as tho
tasto or inclination of tho wcarergmay desire.
We have this season, for the first time,
added a Millinery Department, and have spared
neither trouble nor expense to make it a suc
cess. The result exceeds our most sanguine
expectations. This department will be under
the same management and conducted on the
same principles that have always characterized
our entire business. We shall keep everything
in trimmed and untrimmed hats, novelties of
every description. Having secured a trimmer
noted for her artistic and skillful work, we are
enabled to suit all tastes. We invite a careful
inspection of our entire store. All welcome.
