Nearly all have clothes thrust upon them when they are small, afterward they have to achieve their clothes. Some achieve good clothing and some don't; it's owing to where they buy it. Those who buy the London Clothing Company's Clothing get the best. It is easier, too, to achieve the London Com pany's clothing; it costs less. People are getting weary of paying for the name of having their clothes tailor made when they can get them so much better of us for a great deal less money. The London Clothing Company has achieved its reputation through intrin sic worth, and merits the esteem of the People by its better values.

Law. Sprixgfikld, 111., Oc. 21. The meet- i ig of the stat. assembly of the F. M. B. A. began yesterday morning with about' ISO delegates in attendance. President Ccero J. Lindley, executive committee- min; E. S. Wilson, W. M. Barnett, G-'orge Wickline, J. M. Washburn, of Williamson county; Herman E. Taubeu- neck, Jonas Stewart, of Dewitt, and Charley Palmer, of Richland, are among the best known members of the order here. A. J. Streeter. John P. Stelle, H. 11 a IT, Dr. Moore and Cockrell, who were prominent figures at the gathering of the body one year ago, are all absent now, and the indications are that the pro ceedings will be tame and devoid of public interest. Mo Politics in the Meeting. Party politics does not seem to be cut ting any figure, and Lindley, Wilson, Barnett, Stewart, Wickline, Secretary Robinson, and men of that stamp declare that nothing of the kind will be tolerated la the assembly. Even Tanbeneck, who is at the head of the People party, declares that if a movement were to be made to commit the association to the new party o: to the indorsement of the Cincinnati platform he would oppose It to the utmost or Lis ability. Leading Kepuoncans, Djmocrats, and People's party men seem ta be united on that point. After the assembly had been called to order yester day morning committees were appoiuted, the resolutions committee being headed by H. E Taubenrck. New Trade Methods Satisfactory. M. D. Coffeen, general and state trade commissioner, submitted a report snow ing the results that had been accom plished by the improved methods of trade that bad been adopted by the association. This was so satisfactory to the assembly that Mr. Coffeen was accorded a vote of thanks, and he was at once Te-elected by acclamation. The committees retired to work, and while they were out General Organizer Boles addressed the assembly. And the committee subsequently recom mended that organizers be kept in the field. The secretary's report shows that the membership is fully 50,000 in the state. Want a Graduated Income Tax. The assembly held a protracted session last night and considered the resolutions. The committee made its report at 8 o'clock, and an effort was made to force its adoption as a whole, but as many of the delegates carae loaded with speeches the effort failed and the assembly pro ceeded to the consideration of the resolu tions separately. The first declared in favor of a graduated income tax and this went through without opposition. Next was one on the free and unlimited coinage of f-ilver, and this gave rise to a pro longed and animated del ate. Ax large majority of the delegates favor the spirit of the resolution and the division was mainly as to the phraseology, which was somewhat involved. Discussed Them All the Evening. The spirit of the resolutions as a whole, it is declared, is in substantial accord with the resolutions adopted by the last a-sembly. They favor a uniform system of text books for the public schools, to be furnished by the state at actual cost, tbs election of president, vice president and United Stales senator by direct vote of the people and oppose fostering one in dustry at the expense of another. The sub-treasury proposition ot the Alliance people, it is said, is not touohed upon. T.ie delegates sat all ttie evening with c jjaei doors, and will probably report the resolutions some time today. riorida Alliance Convention. Jacksonville, Fia., Oct. 21. Nearly 300 delegates to the Florida Farmers' Al liance convention are in the city. The sub-treasury scheme and a resolution com mitting the Alliance men to the sunport of only Alliance candidates at the next state election will be the principal topics before the convention. names put on me Tuuug antt ouiy at Hyde Park were they successful unless they could show naturalisation papers dated prior to 1670. At Hyde Park the judges compromised and entered the women's names on Blips of papjr instead of the books, but none of the judges would write the word "qualified" after the name, even there. Among these who went to be registered was Mrs. Judge Tuley. She was courteously received, was sworn and aswered h'.I the questions, whereupon her name was entered, but without tbs necessary word "qualified" after it. At mai.y ot the precincts, however, the idges peremptorily refused to enter women s names in any manner. Mis Ada C. Swe.t was one ot these and she has entered a protest. There were probably 10,000 women offered to register, 5,U0 ot whom got their names down. REGISTRATION OF WOMEN. Chicago Fair Ones Who Are Desirous of Voting at Elections. Chicago, Oct. 21. The chief interest in the registration of voters which began yesterday centers in the action of the women, who c aim that under the ne law they should be allowed to register. This is iu spite of the fact that the election commissioners and the county judge have sent out printed instructions to judges and clerks not to register any women except those naturalized prior to 1879. But the women get behind the opinion of their at torneys, who tbey say bive as much right to express an opinion on the subject as the attorney of the board ol election commis sioners. So yesterday morning many women who want to exercises the pnvi lege ot casting a ballot for the candidates for school Buperlntenaent;presenta them elves before the election officers. ' Th. Stat, of th. Case. The trouble is with the wording of the law which was supposed to grant to wom en the privilege ot voting for school offi cers. It has been construed by the law officers of the election board to require that a woman, to be allowed to vote, must have been naturalised prior to 1870. The women have been fighting this before the board for a week, but the board has stuck to its decision. And another thing ti,e women "kick" about is the refusal ot the election commissioners to construe the words "male citizens" in the law ai in cluding women. successes and Failures. Notwithstanding these decisions the women made raids on a 1 the registration jusces yBKiaaj auu iiUd to have their Gov. Hill at Atlanta. Atlasta, Oct. 8L Governor Hill ar rived here lost night. His train stopped at several stations en route and he made short addresses. At Salisbury he said among other things: "We are opposed, with you, to a federal force election bill such as was sought to be passed in the last congress.

There were 100 dele gates present when the Trans-Mississippi conirress came to order yesterday. Charles Thomas, of Denver, was elected chair man, and C. A.

Clashing Views as to Silver. Two other resolutions declared, one against the free coinage of silver, and for the perpetuation of the status quo as to finances; the other in favor of the free aud unlimited coiuage of the white metuL Cruse of Kansas offered the first, and Bu chanan of Colorado the second.

Russia Celebrating a Fight in Which She Had Comparatively Little Glory. London, Oct, 21. Sc. Petersburg was en fete yesterday from the most gorgeous palaces to the most humble tenements, for the czar had issued a decree that the sixty-fourth anniversary of the battle of Navarino, where, in 18J7, the combined British, French and Russian fleets under Sir Edward Codrington annihilated the Turkish and Egyptian navies, should be celebrated with special pomp and signifi cance. It was made the occasion also of the launching of three Russian ironclads, one of tbem, the Navarino, being a battle ship ot immeuse size and power. x What th. Turk Thinks About It. A dispatch from Constantinople says that the Turks feel very deeply the cele bration by Russia ot the fearful defeat which the Turks suffered in this naval battle. Among naval officers here the celebration is looked upon as a piece of as sumption on the part of Russia, England and France having played a more con spicuous part on that occasion, when the naval power of Turkey was crushed out forever, than the Russians. It is, however, one ot the few naval victories in which Rusria has bad ' any part, her navai history generally being a monot onous record of defeat. True lad ward oess tf the Festival. The celebration is looked upon, how ever, as having another and more impor tant aspect that of hostility to Turkey. Iu view of the fact that Rusria's share in the victory was not ot sufficient conse quence to justify much rejoicing over, it U considered that the czar chose an occa sion to make a display to his people and to all the world ot bis dislike lor the Turk, and of unalterable hostility to ward the sublime porte.
