2 HONORED AT HAMLINE Why LaWler Was a Little Late for the Big West Side Meeting. tie Was Detained to Receive an Ovation From Ham lina Republicans. Dr. Quinn Sets Matters Right for the Candidacy of Dr. Whitcomb. personal Matters in Connec tion With the Local Dem ocratic Ticket. The general public is not familiar with the incidents that delayed D. W. Lawler Thursday evening. Although they were forced to wail on the streets until x o'clock for the procession to start that evening, the German Ameri cans did not litter one expression of impatience nor discontent. They spent the interim cheering as Germans know how to cheer when keyed up to that enthusiastic pitch that is born of the ecstatic assurance of a grand victory. They were waiting for the chieftains who are to lead them to a signal and tri umphant rout of the enemies of per sonal liberty on Tuesday. They did Hot pause to inquire the reason of the delay. They knew full well that there was nothing wrong happening! and the great majority arc still unacquainted with that happy little episode that was responsible for a delay that kept that vast multitude waiting for nearly two hours in a threatening rain. Although they have not attempted to learn the canse, it is due to them that they be told, and it is with that pur pose in view that this sketch is pub- Fished. it mi happened that Mr. Lawler passed through Hamline that evening. It is unnecessary to state that this su burban district is famous for its ad herence to the Republican party be cause, it is claimed, it is a party of gentility. The Hamline residents are of the blue blood sort and they pay homage to gentility. They vole the Republican ticket. But a mighty break will be made in the solid phalanx of Republicanism Tuesday. This is eloquently evidenced by what is about to be recited. As re lated Mr. Lawler passed through Ham line en route to St. Paul, where he was to be received by his German-American admirers organized in one mighty host. This incident became known to the young American Republicans at Ham line. Bent on demonstrating their loy ally in no uncertain way. not only to Americanism, but to talent, to genius .and to statesmanship and honesty of pur pose, they congregated on the platform at the Hamline station, and there in a drizzling rain awaited the train that was to bear 1). W. Lawler to the fete in St. Paul proper. The train came and a committee of gentlemen that had been burdened with the duty by tlieir con freres hurried aboard. They found Mr. Lawler, and seizing him by the hand, almost literally bore him out upon the platform where the concourse of young Republicans were eagerly awaiting his presence. A tremendous cheer went up from the throats of the gathering as Mr. Lawler stepped from the coach. Thou followed a wild rush. Everybody was eager to grasp the hand of the gallant son of -; Minnesota who will be no man's man and wear no man's collar. All this consumed time. Mr. Lawler would not deny any one the privilege of a hearty grasp of a hand, and when these young men felt a thrill of pride run through their pa triotic veins, induced by that honest, warm and genial shake, they -knew they had made no mistake. They knew that" ii was a pious duly— a duty. tthey owe their citizenship —to remain true to Hon. - Daniel W. Law '■£ But handshaking did not satisfy the crowd. They hungered for the sound of that voice that has stirred the hearts of patriotic thousandsduring the present canvass, that voice that carries the con viction of honesty with it wherever it is heard. Mr. Lawler was pressed for a speech, and, although the next governor of the grand North Star state knew he was keeping 10,000 patrons in waiting on the streets of St. Paul, he would not deny them the right to hear him pro claim his political principles and de clare his fealty to the constitution of the country that pronounces for equal rights and personal liberty. ■;■ ■ that is the reason the (iceman-Amer ican pageant that set all St. Paul wild with enthusiasm was delayed Thursday evening* And it is a straw. Ponder over it, ye patriots. Election Returns Will be received at Paul Martinis opera house on' the night ot the election and the day and night following. A BUCKLEY BOOMER Coroner Quinn, of Course, Is Warmly Supporting: Whitcomb. The past week has given birth to r.ai.v rumors in political life. Foulest among tliesp has? been that which di rects attention to" the 'statements being made by E. W.Buckley to the effect that Dr. J. A.; Quinn, the pres ent efficient coroner of Ramsey county, is espousing.- his " (Buck ley's) cause .in the present cam paign. This statement, along with other willful falsifying, has become so ramp ant in the Buckley' camp that the Friends of Dr. E. H. Whitcomb have, been to the severest investigation to as certain the truth. No one supposed that Dr. Quinn. with his brilliant polit ical past and his acknowledged high professional standing, was in any atti tude but that of warm friendship for his associate. Dr. Whitcomb. Dr. Quinn was seen yesterday by a Globk re porter, to whom he declared that he had not, and positively would . nof, support any candidate against Div Whitcomb. "Why, it's preposterous," said the cor oner.' "and Buckley's statement, if such a statement has been used, is false, and used without my knowledge or consent, and certainly against my attitude in this campaign, which has been quiet and pacific,- owing to my retirement Irom political life." p. :■'•:' "Then you are not in sympathy with the candidacy of the man who, being beaten in the Democratic convention, now seeks for revenge by running out bide?" ■ ■■ ■ "lam not!. Furthermore, 1 have so tar avoided activity in the interest of any candidate, and in this spirit 1 shall await the public verdict." This is enough to blot out all virtue in the Buckley flirtation with the truth. Bui there is oilier evidence of the fals ity of this statement, and as it has been so brazenly used without ' the slightest regard how meanly it would redound upon Dr. Quinn if permitted to effect belief without -prompt refutation, the following personal letter 'written to Harry W. Wack, upon that gentleman's inquiry, should most effectually stamp the character of falsehood upon Buck ley's statements : . l-i..} ... ST. Paul, Nov. 4, 1892. -IT.' Vf. Wack. Esq.— Dear Sir: Replying to your inquiry of above i BEECH AM'S PIUS IJVCT I.IKE . Ti.lA.Cii'' 1 M A WEAK STOMCH. .. §5 Cents a Box. ■ fej :OF ALL DRUCCI6TG. da'e, saing that y»n. are credibly informed that Dr. K. W. Ui.ikley is circulating the re port ihat lam supporting his candidacy for coroner hb against Dr. E. H. Whitcomb. I would state lhat the same is entirely without foundation and false. I have studiously avoided espousing the cause of any political aspirant in the present campaign, and I shall continue to so avoid any activity throughout the present political strife. Sincerely yours, J. A. Ql-INN. AMONG THE CANDIDATES. There are a thousand and one reasons why loyal St. Paul citizens should vote for John W. Willis for district judge. He is a St. Paul boy. He was born ih this city, in other words, and he secured all his earlier education in her . educa tional institutions. He passed through the graded school and the high school, and then he completed a classical.course in Maealester college. Shortly after he completed his education in an Eastern college. Returning to his home he took up the study of law, and his successful practice here has stamped him an advo cate of pre-eminent abilities. There arc few capable of judging who will not accord that he lias a judicial mind, and no man will question his loyalty 1 to the city of his birth. :{ i-"X -.- Charley Haas is one of tlwmost pop ular officials that ever was given polit ical preferment by the electors of Ram sev|«oiinty. As register of deeds he has proven his fitness for the duties of the position, and lie has made a host of per sonal friends through his innate cour tesy and even temperament. He is conducting a gentlemanly canvass, despite the disgraceful attitude of the opposition. Even the Republican organ renounces his opponent, Bell, the man with multiplied nominations and mis cellaneous indorsements. The History of the manner in which Bell was placed on the Republican ticket and Howard taken off is well known to the voters of this county, and the effect will be made emphatically known on Tuesday. Pierce Butler, the Democratic candi date for prosecuting attorney for this county, is a familiar figure In legal circles, and tiio contrast . between his attainments and those of j his opponent are so conspicuous that it is only necessary to say .that comparisons are actually odious as well as unnecessary sometimes. Mr. Butler is one of the rising young attorneys of the Northwest. He has made an effi cient assistant county attorney, and the present incumbent, recognizing his abilities, retired from the canvass to give wav to the young man's opportuni ties. He is the choice of the people very naturally. ': "■ X .-_■-: liH^x James H. Burns did not secure his nominations without successfully meet ing all sorts Of obstacles. He made a telling fight and squarely met his ene mies, and they pretty generally the em ployers of the city. He secured a ma jority of the county convention and the nomination for auditor by honorable means, for he is a poor man, and no one would make himself so ridiculous as to charge him with buying votes. Eben C. Ives is especially. the labor ing man's friend. For many years he has devoted his time to the advance ment of the condition of his >. fellow laborers. He is a young man ot marked abilities, and the "mere mention of his name in a St. Paul public meeting is sufficient to raise a whirlwind of enthus iasm, lie will be elected abstract clerk. j Andrew N. Nelson is oue of the sturdy sons of the land of the midnight sun. He early recognized the integrity of the Demacratic party in this country, and the Democratic party in turn recognized in him a citizen of sterling worth. He has been tried nntl found faithful to his trust and is once more the regular can didate for the county treasurership. One of the important county positions is that of coroner, it is often remarked that the average coroner, the country . over, pays too little attention to the sudden death of „ the poor man. The ! press has commented on this tendency of coroners everywhere. But in Dr. E. 11l Whitcomb the people of Ramsey have : a man who would never neglect his ■ duty. Ho - would make just as searching an investigation into ! the death of a beggar as he would into the death of a millionaire. That is a recommendation that' should have peculiar weight with the laboring man. He is, moreover, a practicing physician of recognized standing among the medics of the state and Northwest, and as thoroughly a good fellow : as one would care to meet. ~ Judge John B. Olivier is really too well known to require a word on the part of his advocates to further his can vass for a re-election to the position of judge of probate. Duringhis occupancy of. the office the past two years there has been no complaint that he has not conserved the best interests of the widow and the orphan that have come to the court to have their inheritances probated. Mr. Olivier is a pioneer settler of St. Paul and a zealous patriot of the city. " . . •■:.'' .-•■ There is no one on the entire Demo cratic ticket who has been more unjust ly assailed by the opposition than Anton Miesen, the regular candidate for sheriff. The Republicans, : in their frantic endeavor to retain the; fat office in that party.have seen fit to further the candidacy of any alleged Democrat who had sufficiently little esteem and re spect for party, principles to run inde pendent. Look at the list of Thames on the certificates that have been deposited in the office of the county auditor. They are public property, and everybody has a perfect right to inspect them' at his pleasure. There will -.be' seen the names of the people who are opposed to the success of | the party, and a number who have been in duce d to sign the papers under- a mis apprehension. As a rule they, are signed by old-time Republicans who will not vote for the independent candidate but who will vote the straight Republican ticket. Anton Mieseulshould be elected by a rousing majority, as there is no chance for a doubt that he will make a model sheriff. :.'"• .. '-. ?:•' "? "•"'' ■; David L.Curtice has made all the important surveys in this county,and is, therefore, the best posted man in .the county upon survey and meander lines. His testimony is almost always accepted as proof positive in court at law. in cases of litigation where .lines ; are in dispute, for it is an accepted, proverb that Mr. Curtice is the best posted"man in the county. It is to the interest- of every man that pays taxes to re-elect him county surveyor* The Democratic convention made a wise selection of candidates for county commissioners this time. It is neces sary to call the attention of the voters of the county who are any wise familiar with the gentlemen to the personnel. There are Paul A. Lavallee, who has already made his mark in the office;' Charles Lauer, Nicholas Ponthan, both prominent property holders who have the interests of the county at heart, and Peter Daly, a sound thinking and: con servative farmer. Who can give a ten able reasou why these should not be elected county commissioners? - >. - Benn Davis is the Democratic caudi date for court commissioner, and he is perhaps better fitted for the peculiar duties of this position than almost any one who has ever accepted the nomina tion in this county. He is a prominent advocate at the bar of Ramsey, and he has devoted a great deal of his" time and talents to the. defense of poor clients who were unable to pay him fees.. He will make an admirable court commis sioner. "-XXXX: -X- '■"' X-' v Pioneer Fuel Co.'s Coal Xj, Is carefully prepared, promptly deliv ered. XXHiX. '- . ■ .'?„'■■ '--'•''''■ yx Change of Time.'

The Republican Colonization Schemes in the First and Tenth Wards. Differing- Effects of the Cam paigns of Lawler and Don nelly Respectively. Now, on the eve of the election, the Republican state central committee is trying to save the day with a game of bluff. It is holding a bob-tail flush and is trying to make the people be lieve that it is a flush royal. The party has never been put to such straights be fore, and it is green at the game: so, like a novice at freeze-out. it is giving its hand away by extravagance. These are the figures the committee gave pub licity to yesterday: Nelson's vote, 130.000; Lawler's vote, 100,000; Donnelly's vote, 35,000; Dean's vote, 15,000. For Congress— Taw ney, in the First district, 2,500 plurality; Mc- Cleary, in the Second, 8,000 to 10,000; Heatwole, in the Third,- 1,000; Kiefer, inthe Fourth, 2,500 to 3,000; Fletcher, in the Fifth, 3,000 to 4,000; Searle. in the Sixth, 3.000 to 5,000; Feig, in the Seventh, 1,000 to 1,800. How can this committee expect peo ple to believe such raw figures as these? They have killed their case by extrava gance. But this is not the height of their folly. They assert that Buck and Canty, the candidates for the supreme court of the Democratic and Populist parties, will receive but 135,000 .votes. They make the insane statement that fusion has been repudiated, and that the Republican electors who are opposed by the four fusion electors will receive 10,000 plurality, while the others will receive 30.000. They state that Vander burgh and Dickinson, the Republican candidates for the supreme court, will receive 130,000 Republican and 15,000 Prohibition votes. An they make the bold statement that the lower house of the legislature will have a Republican majority of at least 12 and probably 20. The most amusing statement of the committee is that: "The total vote two years ago was 2-10,000. Compared with the vote of 1888 there was a falling off of 22,000?. Of this vote 75 per cent was Republican.^' Where the Vote Wont. Everybody knows the statement that seventy-live per cent of the falling off was Republican is absolutely untrue. The great many of those who failed to vote were Democrats in the Second dis trict, where there was no congressional ticket. Others stayed away from the noils because they believed that Thomas Wilson was an Orangeman, and the bitter enemy of Catholics. The Repub lican state committee sei.Fout a circular on the eve of election, slating that Wilson was an Orangeman, and giving pur ported instances of bitter things he had said against Catholics. The circular was distributed over the state so late that it could not bo contradicted by the Democratic state committee. The effect upon the Catholic Democrats was- just what the Republican committee intend-: ed it should be. Nearly 20.000 Demo crats stayed away from the polls. . The Republican committee was so elated over the success of their roorback that they had a joli.iti cation meeting -at whicii was Va ; pretty good 'gathering of prominent Republi cans, in that state campaign the Re publicans held out as their largest cam paign card the record of Gov. Merriam during the preceding two years, and as serted that he had made the best gov ernor Minnesota ever had. Their claim found a warm response among staunch Republicans from one end of the state to the other. It was a winning war cry among Republicans. But it didn't catch the sentiments of the people who were not tied substantially io any party, and the Republicans discovered it. So they put out the great roorback to save the state. Tarns Bixby became a lion by it, and was rewarded by being elevated to the • position of secretary of the gov ernor. Real Republican View*. "NoTthe game of bluff does not go. It is too transparent, and the Republicans themselves are laughing at it. A very prominent Republican, after he had read the statement of the committee, looked up from his paper and smiled. "Well," said he, "of course these figures are wild; but they are all right to send out in the country. They will catch a good many ot the country peo ple. Such things as that have to be done for effect; and it's all right." A prominent member of the commit tee was overheard yesterday afternoon giving this statement to a Republican from another city: :~ . . . r "Donnelly will fall 13,000 short of Owen's vote of two years ago. But I am frank to say that I believe the four fusion electors may be elected. And 1 am very much afraid Buck and Canty will be'elected. We are putting forward the best front we can, and giving out a somewhat different statement in print." The committeeman saw that a news paper man was standing near, and walked into one of the rooms with the gentleman to finish the conversation. Afterward the newspaper man called upon the gentleman and questioned him concerning the matter. His replies to the queries were materially different from what he told the gentleman he was talking to. He admitted that the Republicans could not carry PolK county, nor a number of other comities in the north and north west part of the state ; also that lour counties in the southwest part of the state were lost. But he claimed that the other counties would more than make up the loss. He claimed that Du luth would go Republican. A prominent Republican who is not a member of the committee was seen in the committee rooms and asked his views. .He frankly admitted that he believed the four fusion electors and Buck and Canty wouid be elected. Asked concerning the legislature, he said that he very much feared the Dem ocratic and Populist members would materially outnumber the Republicans. A good mauy prominent Republicans were seen, and not one was confident of electing more than five Republican electors and the state ticket. Many of them frankly admitted that they ex pected nothing more. Their names can hot be published, as they expressed themselves in confidence. The politi cians connected with the campaign all expressed the utmost confidence that i the Republicans would sweep the state; but they do so with an air of bravado ji which indicated plainly that they were not sincere. - . ;: The game is up. so far as legitimate ii means are concerned, and they know it. ■ Tnere is nothing left for them but to re i sort to tricks. Here are some which are ij already on foot in St. Paul: ■'■■;' j; Johu Copeland, the chairman of the ij Republican county committee, is a resi . dent of the First ward. As is well : known, he is the superintendent of S bridges of the Omaha road. It is also • well known that the - registration in ; the First ward shows an increase of about 240 votes over the registra tional! the spring, when there was the most exciting election known in St. | Paul for years. It ' is reported by cred- I ible' parties*' that "this' increase comes from the railway . employes who have I) been colonized from places in Wisconsin SUNDAY HORNING^ NOVEMBER : 6, 1892. —TWENTY PAGE;?. or elsewhere where' their votes are not needed for the Republican partj'. It does not necessarily follow that Mr. Copeland has anything Jto do with the matter: and j from the | high standing of the gentleman people are loth to believe such a thing. But certain it is that a good many people are seen in that ward who have no permanent residence there and have been there only a short time. In the Tenth .ward is a similar case. D. M. Sullivan, the Republican candi date for the legislature in that district, is the superintendent ' of the transfer company. The increase of registration in that ward over the spring is about fifty. . The story comes from very reliable parties that about sixty laborers who live in parts of Minneapolis where Republican votes are not needed have been colonized there and are registered* Mr. Sullivan is a gentlemen of. high standing, and it is. hard to believe that he has had anything to do with it; but certain it is that the people are there on the registration sheets. -" These are some of the local, methods. But a much more serious method is re ported to be on foot in the state commit tee. . It is nothing more nor less than a roorback, which is to be sent out at the last moment. The roorback is said to be prepared, and ready to go out; being guarded with the utmost /.vigilance to prevent a copy falling into the hands of any outsider. This may be a false alarm; but,. judging from the experi ence of two years ago, it is well for the people of the state to be on their guard, and take no. stock in any Republican story which reaches them at the last moment.- -.'? -"'- XijXxXXii " .'xi. W. W. Erwin is reported to have as serted that Donnelly will not receive 25,000 votes in the state, and that Nelson will win by 30,000 plurality. But it must not be forgotten that Air. Erwin is very sore at Donnelly, and the wish is the father of the thought. Donnelly's Vote. There is no reason- to believe that Mr. Donnelly's vote wiil fall short of Owen's, and there are many reasons for believing that it will be much larg er. His meetings have been attended by very large and enthusiastic audiences in many places, and he must have made some eonveits among Republicans. It is true that a good many people go to hear Donnelly only to be amused, and go away with no intention to vote for him. .But in the country districts, there are always some people who are carried away with a good, plausible speech; and it is much more than likely that lie has increased his following "very materially in such places. At Duluth Friday evening he spoke in a large opera house, and it was filled so. full . that many people were turned away. , With Gov. Lawler the case is different from Donnelly's in one respect. He is a man who carries ,' conviction. His meetings everywhere in the state have been , attended. by throngs; his. trip through the .-.state has been one grand ovation from start to finish. The people have not been content with mere ex pressions of enthusiasm; they have come thousands : from Republican ranks, and stated boldly that they were weary ;of Republican rule, and ready to vote for party that will give thorn the tariff reform the. Republican party has been promising for years and noi given. , x. yx ■ ''---.ps;-. Messengers for. Election Returns. .

Bur bu< well Had Some Expe- : jjj rience. The burgling burglar has come out frdm his few days' rest, and, feeling re freshed by his brief retirement from active business pursuits, deems himself able to cope with the wealthy denizens of Crocus hill. The burglars, for there are two of them, had no hesitation in resuming operations for he knows that the de tectives can never bother men of his stamp, and he can work beyond the beats of the patrolman, from whom alone he has anything to fear. His first effort after his season of recuperation did not pah out to any great extent, but it was his fault, "his" being used to designate the duo. He opened up Friday morning about 1 o'clock at the home of Dilworth Richardson. 590 Grand ave uue. Mr. Richardson was awakened by hearing a noise, and then lay a few mo ments trying to locate the voices of two men whom he beard in conversation. He aroused his wife, who also heard the voices. Mr. Richardson is a large and strong man, but lie had no gun at hand, and he did not feel like browsing around much against men whom he knew to be well armed. So he raised his bedroom window and exer cised his lungs. He awoke George 11. Finn, who lives next door, and Mr. Finn turned iiis revolver^ loose on the early morning air. This disturbance of the peaceful air of that select neigh borhood reached the ears of Special Officer Joseph Walsh., and he was soon on the spot. But he ran against a diffi culty. He could not get into the house, as Richardson would not go down stairs to open the doors, saying that he did not care to run the risk. of, having his head shot off. So Walsh got a lad der and by its aid got into a second story window, and went to 1 exploring the house with the aid of matches. In the meantime Richardson went to his telephone and called, up, Rondo street Station, which responded with a patrol wagon and three or four coppers. But, of course, the gentle burglars did not wait to receive the police, pre erring, to retire on' the; first, alarm; Therefore, all that was found to indi cate their presence was an open cellar window and an open, second-story back window. The latter is over a -summer kitchen, to the roof of which it was an easy matter to climb by' the aid of a tree growing against the building. It. is con jectured that the crooks tried tho cellar first, but finding the door above bolted, wept to the back window. . The door of t.hs,r6om into which they thus entered was also locked, and it was here that Mr. Richardson heard them, and before they secured any plunder. : >';'.- a _, . '}.. The Highway.

'' One :r - of -them made for the 2 horse's ; - head, but Mr. ,B. happened -'to -be driving his ' little trotter. The animal is : . very quick, and, as 1 he saw the men coming at. him. Mr. B. throwing up his hands, the horse started so quick and fast- that the fellow caulri not grab her head, but was thrown back, ; • and '. Mr. Burwell got home safe, though he was very nervous and did : not get cooled down for some time. - - : New Styles Of" white maple, mahogany and - oak Chamber Suits just .sampled on our floors at prices lower than ever. : " '• .

Three years ago I got down so low that I could scarcely walk. I looked more like a corps* than a i living? being. I had no appetite and for five I weeks I ate nothing but gruel. I was badly emaciated and bad no more color tnan a marble statue. Hood's Sarsaparilla i was recommended and I thought I would try it. Before I had finished the first bottle I noticed that I felt better, suffered less, the inflammation of tbe bladder, had j subsided, the color began to return to my ... face, and I began to feel hungry. After j I had taken three bottles I could eat anything - without hurting me. Why, I got so hungry that I had to eat 5 times a day. I have now ; fully recovered, thanks to. : v :, .

K'pw^.'e.!*.*-: .y^i FIELD,™ & CO. j THREE BEAUTIES. One beauty of our Wool Dress Goods stock is that every yard is new—made for this fall and winter. Al though we had by far the largest stock in town two months ago, it sold so freely that our buyer was com pelled to make a second visit to the Eastern markets. It would be hard to find a single piece of goods more than two months old in the entire stock of Fancy Dress Goods. Another . beauty is that every yard of our Dress Goods is strictly all wool. We steadily refuse to handle cotton mixtures. And still another beauty is that we enjoy a reputa tion for making the lowest possible prices on strictly first-class Dress Goods. We will match our prices against any in America. THREE BARGAINS. . A choice lot of Imported Novelty Dress Goods, in 25 different styles, came last Friday. They possess in a high degree the three Dress Goods virtues — style, char acter and quality. We will sell them at $1.75 a yard; a month ago the price would have been in the neighborhood of $3. Five or six yards will make a dress. Fur Plaids and Stripes, strictly all wool, 54 inches wide, in* 15 different color ings, $1.00 a yard; marked down from Si. 50. A new line of Wool Scotch Suitings, 52 inches wide, $1.00 a yard. . Twilled All-Wool Plain Colored Suitings, 52 inches wide, 75 Cents a yard..

X _ '■v Fine French Broadcloths in staple, as well as delicate evening shades. Nothing in the West can approach! our present assortment of shades and qualities. IN SILK ATTIRE. Harper's says: "Silks will be more used this win ter for afternoon dresses for the house and for calling costumes than . they have been for many years. This has been brought about by the introduction of many novelties in weaving." • That we have the best and largest stock of fashionable Silks even our competitors must admit. . This is so evi dent and apparent that it would be foolish to contra dict it. And we would in deed be foolish if we did not see to it that every piece was marked at lowest prices. What think you of the following assortment of Plaids ? Tartan Plaids. Surah Plaids. Taffeta Plaids. Beng-aline Plaids. Iridescent Crystal Silks in many shades and tints, for street and evening wear; Novelty Changeable Velvets to match any of them. Nicoise, silk and wool, is new and fashionable.

A water pipe ■ burst in the rooms above our Men's Furnishings department and .sprinkled : a lot of Men's ■ Gloves. While the damage to them is hardly noticeable, it's enough to cut the price one-half. './ 20 dozen Men's Genuine "Jouvin" Kid Gloves, worth $2 a pair, and 5 dozen lined Mocha Gloves, worth $1.50, $2 and $2.50 a pair, will be 'sold at - v One Dollar a pair. While we always want to sell Men's Furnish ings cheap, we hope we will not be obliged to make a similar loss in many years. CLOAK DEPARTMENT.

A new assortment of heavy black Diagonal Reefer Jackets, Electric Seal or Astrakhan shawl collar.head ornaments, half silk-lined, 32 inches long, at our own price of $11.50.

Black Clay Diagonal Reefer Jackets, 34 inches long, lined, throughout with heavy satin, bound with Mohair braid, tailor-finish, $15. To pay a reasonable profit the price should be $20. Extra heavy twilled Scotch Cheviot Reefer Jackets, with high shawl collar and four inch facing of best Astra khan Fur, "$lB. This also is a decided bargain. A new stock of pretty little Coats for one, two and three-year-olds. The general way of ad vertising Astrakhan and other Fur garments is to say that we have three times as many garments as all the other merchants combined, and that we sell them at one half their prices. We arc too modest to talk that way — and too sensible. But we will say that we carry only the best qualities that we can buy, and we sell them as cheap as anybody does, if not cheaper. All we ask is an inspection and compar ison of prices and qualities. The choosing will then be easy. Mail OrJers receive the benefit of all reductions and special prices.
