The breaking of the electric-light wire
veeterday ?t Broad and Sixth streets,
which came netr killing a bov and did
kill instantly a valuable horse, should offer
an object lei-aon to our people, and urve
to awaken them to the danger of death
and loss of property they are daily exposed ?
to iu this cit . Miles and milea of wiro
are strung overhead along our atreet? ?
heavily charged with electricity, and |
should one break and fall on a person
death would be instantaneous. Snob ?
warnings as occurred yesterday should not
?'?? ignored. What knowledge have we of
where this danger lios. or which way to J
turn to avoid it ? I am told tbat there are
s? voral means by which this dan- :
gtr can be averted; in fact, that
a dov.ee hu been invented by
one of our own citizens?Langstair '
John?toe, who. by actual test in this rit*.
proved in a public exhibition the complete
aud safe working of his machine by taking I
the wire in bis hands after it was cut (his
machin?e being on the line), and that the
device has since received the highest en
donation from some ot the leading elec?
trician? in this country, and only a ?bort
time since the city of Peterson, N. J.
adopted it for its trolley system. If we
are to have the overhead wires, bringing in
rich harvests to tb? companie? who owu
them, let u? enforce all mean? that will
I give our people protection, and not wait to
bave aorne one killed before action is
taken. Now is the time for thoie who
have charge of our streets and tborough
! fares to look into this matter and require
? that every precaution be taken to save life
and property. An Eva Witubu.
Another Record Broken?This Time hy
the Ittchnioml and IMnvllle Knllroad.
This is the vear for breaking records. \
The trotters, the pacers, and the ocean
greyhounds havo accomplished this feat,
tho Democratio landslide has swept the
country, and now the Richmond and Dan?
ville railroad claims a plaoe among these
as a record-breaker.

Reasoni
?\)A F you have your OVERCOATS made " to order" -you are one in ten thous
There are a hundred arguments why it is unnecessary.
There isn't the excuse for an OVERCOAT that might prompt you to
a Suit.
The OVERCOAT is a single garment?a singlo fitting. In a suit there are I
to give?coat, pants, and vest.
Now fashion runs to extreme lengths. It was never more radical in it-, e '.
know whether you are going to like a long coat?a medium-long ont*?or a to
the BEST.
When you order you are in the dark. You pay a high price? $??() or $65 at
much to hazard on a chance satisfaction.
The difference is just here. In OUR line of FINE OVERCOATS we have ?
in its variety. The long?the longer?and the longest hang on our rack?;. You SI;
having?"size" yourself up in it?before you go to a cent's expense.
As for the get-up?OURS are not to be compared with any but tue FINES i
how particular you are?your notions are not beyond the forethought of ou
Do you know that artists?such as ours?are pn id about the salary ... foul
of the shears ?
Because you don't find the cost hanging to the Coat?-because you can bn
the local tailors can make them for you?don't t^ive it the wrong reason. ! I
is skimped from the cloth?or the trimming?or the making?but G
Our making department is no more nor less than a huge tailoring-ehop?? '?
thousand finished perfections to every one made by the "custom" folks. ?V.
fabrics to their single piece?and we choose a hundred patterns to their one. Tin
buying brings its discounts?and the bigness of our selling gives its discounts' \
fit of the best skill in the business, and "cut up" the expense amont,' many ot jro ?
Look at the line of
$12.50 (Twelve-Fifty] $12.50
That we are offering this week and see if they are not equal to any $16.50
offered elsewhere. Sec if THBY ARE MOT BETTER MAl-E-BETTER FINISIIEP

We've given you the logic of it. Now the question is?What are you poing to do.'
