GOODNOW Men's Suit Department We believe that buying the best is the essence of true economy. Good clothing is cheaper than poor clothing, no matter what the respec tive prices may be. It costs no more to dress well than to dress more poorly. The differ'cnce comes in how and where you buy. Our busi ness is to demonstrate this. With the very large stock of men's suits which our counters hold today, we are able to do this successfully. In the earlier days of the ready made suit business, only men of average shape could ,be fitted, all the rest were obliged to depend upon the custom shops fqr their clothing. Today all this is changed, and t,AOc ic in HnmnnQtriltP trn'c ne3S is to aernonsuiue inis very many men are made suits, which look even better ' they possess a certain air, which the average tailor does not know how .... . ... ..... to give.

Both, we are toltl. have assiircd President Hoosevelt of thelr Riipport ncxt year. lt is said to liavo befn (llscovered that tlie tnists have sent agonts throuh the South to stir tip oppost tion to President Hoosevelt because of his attitude on the race question, and the fart that he has oecnsionally publifly reeognized or entertained a leading representative of the colored ' . and race.

As to the non-promotlon rule, It does 1 t seem well founded. Its tondency t'i draw small mon to the lleutenanl K " . irnorship a really Iniportant olliec ,;iid to bury them there.

Cleveland vs. Roosevelt.. The Burlington Free Press dcvotes a well-considered leading editorial to , , , a discusslon of the probability that neM year's presidentlal contest may be waged between President Roose velt and ex-Presideut Cleveland, based upon manv indications, which 1 ln costumes of "baby bluc.

Cleveland galned a reputatlon for belng a chil service re former, but he took care that a host of Oemocrats wcro put In snug berths be fore he threw about them the mantle of the clvll service rulcs. Roosevelt has demonstrated that he ls a true frlcnd of clvil service reform and he has ln no way sought to juggle wlth the rulcs so as to galn partlsan ndvantage whlle at the same tlme contlnulng to wear his clvil service halo. Cleveland by his Ven ezuclan message galned the reputatlon of being a champion of the American contlnent for Americans. Roosevelt has strengthened the Monroe doctrlnc as lt neer was strengthened before, and In addltlon to the fear Cleveland Insplrcd nbroad he has galned n degree of re- UUrUUU lie 11U .UI1CU H UCIilCti Ul IC prow never drcamed.

Cleveland had the respect and the confidence of the people where Roosevelt commands thelr ndmlratlon nnd thelr enthuslasm as well as thelr conlldence nnd rospect. in short all the Issues as well as the person- al ndvantages are on the slde of Roosc- velt as eompared with Cleveland, and j the President may well wish for Cleve- ; land as his antngonlst In thc natlonal 1 electlon of 1WU." 1 Bryan Openly Attacks Cleveland. YvTiliam J. Bryan raado a bitter per sonal attack on ex-Presldent Cleve land at a gatherlng of promlnent Mis so'uri Democrats at a banauet in Kan sns City on Tuesday. Mr. Bryan said: "Ve have had enough Cieveiandism in tho Deniocratic party. Vo have had four years of Cleveland, and after his adminlstration was over we found our&elves weaker than we had over been because we had been betrayed. Tlieso so-called harraonizers, Clovc land and his followers, showed their nearness to Republieanism by do sertinp us in our hour ot grcatest need and supporting tho Hepubllcan party. Tlio Deniocratic party won a great victory in 1892, which gave our party a great opportunity, but Grover Cloveland betrayed tho Demo cratle party and it carried tho burden of his administration through two natlonal campalgns, and there was not a plnnk in oitlior platform that was such a detriinent to mo in those campalgns as that burden was. Cloveland had tho best opportunity to redeom tho Domocratic party over offored to any man slnco tho tlmo of Androw Jackson, but instoad of boing true to his party he dlsgraced him-self. 1 u( 11 not possessed by Roosevelt nnd In stlll was escorieu acrusa .m- ow greater degree.

The show was under the per sonal dlrectlon of John J. Nolan of Bos ton, who drllled tlie chorus, coacheJ the end men and, in many instances, ar ranged the muslc. His eflldency as a dlrector was cvldent last nlght. John T. Fenton, who reccntly flnlshed an cn gaKement as manager of one of Sam T. Jack's companles, also had much to do with tho stacinR of tho show and proved hlmself capable in that line of work. When the curtaln rose on the flrst part a strlklng stage plcture met the eyes of the audience and brought from lt n hearty round of applause. The central figure of the group was P. I.. Shea who, as lnterlocutor, was costumed In a suit of brlght green and white. He was. sur rounded by a bevy of young womcn in Japanese costume whlle the malo mcm bers of the chorus. in white frock coats wlth red faclngs and all In blnck face. were seated on a ralsed platform. the centre of which was occupied by Iott slnger's orchestra. The overture. whtch was arranged by Mr. Nfolan. gave snatches from n number of recent operas and popular songs. It was exce-lingly well simg, and at the proper tlme lt served to introduce thc end men who ap Ienred rcsplendent ln rel coats. fancy vests and checkerel trousers. They were J. C. Sulllvan. Willlam Larrow and Louls F. Ellls. liones: .Toseph Martin, James P. Ferriter nnd John J. Jsolan. tambos After un lnterchange of lokcs which put the audience and performcra on good terms Joseph Martin sang "Down Where the Wurzburger Flows." The next musical number was a catchy blt of rag tlme enUUed "The Gambling Man," sung bVWHIlam Larrow In a way to caJl forth ! no little enthuslasm. A bass solo, "In ' '.."'L.f'n Mr James Hamllton followeu and then Mr. xolan sang "Falry Tales'' wlth a local verse or two which seemed to please tho auuience exceeuinuiy. ai iim mu "illlputlan mlnstrels," D, I-onk Sheji and T. Frank Turner, were lntroduced l.ll.l ln nn enrnre. This I number was foilowed by a solo "I Lovo j ,, v 1... mi u'otherln.. . .,0 ru nnmnn vniee m henrd to unusual advantage and could not help but appeal strongly to all the musio lovers prcsent. Louls F. Ellls sang "Susle Anna" a breezy coon ong, very effectlvely, and "Susle" herself ap- 1 IH-ared from the rear of the house and , seemed to strlke home. and the ram- 1 i.iM' ii-h .h Xlr Sbei tnnk netween eiLCll brought down the house. The flrst part was brought to a close by an effectivo flnale, "Tho Old Flag Never Touched the Ground," sung, by Arthur II. Brasor and the entlre company. All of the numbers ln the ollo were by local tnlent, wlth the exceptlon of tho act by Mr. Nolan, and they were doubly well received on this account. Tho flrst was a very dover little song and dance act after the style of tho famous "Flora dora sextette." It was entltled "Stroll lng ln the Moonllght," and Is orlglnal wlth Mr. Nolan.

The cos tumes In this act were fetchlng and the , . ... if- I which "went." An orlglnal and decided I lv funny skit was that of Profcssor Fcathers (P. L. Shea) and Iila Coola (John T. Fentonl who dld some bur lesquo magie which crented no Ilttlo merrlmcnt. The act containl a number of grlnds on local people and ended wlth a reallstle exploslon scene ln which the professor left the stnge vla the fly gal lery. Edward Gonycr, Poter Deyo and James Blake dld somethlng new In the line of buck and wing danclng, and showel themselves to be terpslchorean artlsts of unusual merlt. The llrst of tho act con slsted of a song and danco and. the sec ond of indlvidual steps. The closlng fea ture of the ollo was a novelty called tho "March of the Phantom Guards," under the dlrectlon of E. J. Fenton. Tho evo lutlons were slmllar to those of la.it year's march cxcept that they took placo on an absolutely black stage, The par ticipants were drossed in white, nnd special mechanlcal contrlvance.s pro duced their sudden disappeanince.
