Among sj many you're apt to think It's
wholesale stock. Right you are, it is. We
wholesalo to the consumer direct in small
quantities at exactly the same prices ordinary
dealers pay the jobbers lor their entite Btocks.
An advantage we hold over them (any of
them) from being large manufacturers ot
clothing and jobbers In lurnisbing goods and
hits.
Fur men's suits innging in price Irom
$J.50 to $42, see to-day's window exhibit.
There are two ways of supplying ones
wants; to patronize dealers who buy their
Btocks from jobbers, paying tbtro and extra
20 or 25 per cent, profit, or, buying from the
manufacturers and jobbers direct and saving
those profits. Which will yon do?
Pantaloon overalls of check cottonade ma
terial. No better than we sold last year at
75c. We marK 50c othir grade better,
heavier, GOc. Blue denim 60c, brown duck
25c.
Kconomy In underwear buying begins
here. 20c and 25c extravagance Is here as
well. $1.25 to $2 Imported.
Jean drawers 60c fur 40c, 76c lor 60c. The
twilled jean, the cut, the lit, the sewing, the
laundry, everything best about them. Every
size Irom 28 to 48 waist.
We sell the finest Globe Mills casslmere
trousers for $5 because, because we handle
the entire short end production of that won
derful factory and can afford it $10 or $12

nence. ' 2
Great Damage by Fire in New York
City,
In Which 500 Skilled Workmen
Lose All Their Tools.
The President's sl.'er -'Ours for" Uev. Dr.
Crosby.
Nkw Youk, May 27. The Sun publishes a
communication from Miss Kliiibetli Cleve
land, sister of Piesident Cleveland, In reply
to Uev. Dr. Howard Crosby, on the question
of Total Abstinence. Miss Cleveland com-,
menccs by quoting tbe following from Dr.
Crosby: "I do not wonder that that excellent
woman, whose hnatcwi.l or sons hac become
sots should advocalo tnliil nhslinnnretor every
one. We havo heard a goo 1 wcunvi whoso
boy had cut his linger nearly off wlllia knife,
wish that thero were no knives In the world;
and if she could lure her nay she Mould
hive them all destroyed forthwith. It is
na'ural and a woman's rry on such an
occasion excites our tenderest gjiunnlliy,
but who will count tint an argument?"
Miss Cleveland then says: ' The above par
agraph from 'A Calm View ol Dr. Nelson,'
by tho Uev. Howard Crosby, iu tbe Evangebst
of March 17th, his most pertinaciously
haunted me ever since the perusal of the
article last evening. That this, above any
other paragraph, snould most Impress ilsell
Upon the impressible mind ot one
emotional woman in particular, or of woman
as an emotional creature in general, will
surprise no man. It is, as the Djctor says?
natural and I aiu veruln.thu multitudes ot
women besides myself are today smarting
under these calm' words agaiost the im
putation of which every fibro of the woman
nature rises up against In revolt. The male
animal is very fierce, the female of all varie
ties is very gentle, comparatively, and Is gen
erally uncombative; but tbe tame ecu nee
which tells ui this tells us also that the
mother among all beasti, in defense ol her
young, is tbe fiercest of all living
creatures. The lioness, under ordinary
circumstances, is quite easy of
conquest, but the lioness robbed of her
whelps, no mm or beast cares to encounter.
Both these phases of the fern lie nature are
undoubtedly natural. They belong, as llishop
Butler said, to a certain so-called supernat
ural phenomena, to the natural, of which
there are two causes, the one ordinary, )be
other not supernatural, still superhuman, but
extraordinary.
"You see, this mad-dog you talk about Is
to be put down by 'A Cnlm View' of the
thing as it Is, and put in the samo category
with 'Uutlery.' You have no more real right
to cry about this unloosed beast because it
may meet your children. on their way to
school, and may bite one or two
of them, than you "Uave to , cry
out against the manufacture and sale ol
knives, because your boy cut himself once.;
The perfectly clear thing Is, II you only had
head enough to see it, that the manufacture
by fermentation, not distillation of tbe 'mad
dog, not very mad, but only some mad,
ought to go on, and that one
mad dog, of this good kind
for every one thousand people, ought to be
protected by law from the bullets of hydro
phobia hunters. This calm view of the evil
which, because of pome, In fact several cases
of hydrophobia among us, has tome to be
called by unthinking peiple a mad do;
is proven by concurrent testimony of
experience, science, scholarship, found
philosophy, null, above all, rightly read In
Scripture to bo a good vicature of Clod. The
calui, Cliiistlau thing for )ou lo do on luch
an (Htnsiju is not to go up and down crying,
but stiy at home ami teach your little buys
and Ug boys how a little mad dog Jibe
Is good tor them, but a big mtd

You ought, it uu would only do the thing

learn the difference betwten true temperuute
and Ibis miserable, paroly of true
temperance culled 'total abstinence,' and
may be prepared to make manly
protests against drunkenners when they should
be grown up, It's simply silly. While we
feel the tenderest sympathy lor your
sorrow, we must say it is silly for yuu
to refuse to see that knives and mad
dogs are equally dangerous. It's as
rid cub us fur you to demand tl at ' all
alcohols shall be rhnt out from the beverages
of mankind because this fiery liquor is burn

fe;verul ltnuiee Entered Money and
Watches Taken Attempted Sate mow
ing Tbe Cracksmen Almost Successful,
but frightened Awaty set the Critical Mo-
maul.
The residence of Mr. Peter Haerr
on Mulberry street was entered, Tuer
day nlgbt, and a silver watch
hi d some $10 In money taken. Tbe money
was ihe small change which Mr. Haerr is in
the habit ot taking home irom bis feed store
every night. An entrance was effected in
the same manner as at Mr. Ebrenhart's, by
unlocking the street door, and it is probable
that tbe same persons were concerned in both
juba.
The I oldest exploit ol last night, however,
is the attempted safe blowing at Joseph
Spangenberger's, on East Main street. Mr
Spatgenberger keeps tbe Spangenber
ger House, and, fur the accommodation
of those of his boarders who may
be out late, always leaves the rear door into
one ol bis sitting rooms open. The burglars
entered through this door, and entered the
bar, wheie the safe stands, by breaking the
locks off the door between Ihe bar and sitting
room. It was evidently intended at irst lo
remove a panel irom the door, and with tbis
purpose the thieves hon d holes clear across
one end and side of the panel. Probably
concluding this was too tedious, they resorted
to the expedient of breakiug tbe lock. Alter
entering tbe bar tbey began boring a bole in
the sate with the intention ut introducing
powder with which to blow tbe door open.
The bole was almost deep enough to answer
their purpose when they were frightened
away by tbe hostler, who bad been sleeping
iu a neighboring room. He had been awak
ened by tbe noise made in forcing tbe door I e
tween the bar and sitting room, and, arising
looked first Into the latter room. Seeing
nothing unusual there, and finding It was
about 2 o'clock, be passed around through a
bock passage and up stairs to call some per
sons who wished to arise at that hour. Wb le
be was gone on this errand, the burglars must
have selted tbe opportunity to escape, as, in
returning, he came through tbe bar and found,
not tbe thieves, but all their tools and the
niaiks of their work. It is unlucky for the
cracksmen tbst they were scared off, as, if left
alone a little longer, tbey would probably
have teemed some $300 It was an exceed
ingly bold attempt, as boarders are entering
or going out at almost every hour of
the nlgbt, Surpldoo Is directed towards a
young man v. bo hung around tbe bar a good
deal yes'erday, and wbo in tbe evening went
to a h'ou-e just atrou the street and told the
people tint he had been sent there for supper
and lodging by two young mn wbo board at
that place. He was given his supper aud
shown to bis room, but when Ihe family arose
tins morning ineir visitor naa vanished, and
the two yuung men denied ever having sent
him there. Whether innocent or guilty i f
Ihe Bafe-blowing, be Is certainly guilty of
some very queer actions.
I. est nlgbt burglars dn'ered the bouse of
J. K. K ireubart, on Pleasant street, nrar
Spring, and carried away that gentleman's
clothes contain ng bis watch and other arti
cles, and a r mall band sa'ch'l belonglrg ti
Mrs. Walcutt which had In It a small amount
o money, s'rrral railroad tickets and a num
ber o' other Ihlrgs. Ofllc-r Fred Mast found
the clothe and satrlnl early this morning but
the natch, money and tickets weiegone. The
thieves entered thrnngh tbe hart door which
wis found unlockel when tbe family arose
this morning.
