Owing to the unsettled condition of the financial interests of the country, the manufacturers have beei) placed in a

prepared and on Iho alert for extra bargains and take every advantage that i3 open.
Why? Because we study our patrons' interests; we want to give them

MATTEES OF BUSINESS.
Everybody thought Baldwin & Stan
dish's summer shoes were the finest ever
shown in Bridgeport. Bat their fall shoes
beat them. Their store is shining with
a display of new styles in shoes that will
be the admiration of all good dressers.
F. E. Ilartwell fc Co., the Danbury
clothiers, are all prepared for the fall
trade with an unusually Hue line of
clothing that they are going to dispose
of to suit times. Give them a call while
the assortment is unbroken. Courteous
treatment is one of the principles of this
house.
Don't commit suicide on account of
your "incurable" blood disease. The
sensible thing for you to do is to take
Ayer's sarsaparilla. If that fail?, why,
then keep on trying, and it will not fail.
The trouble is, people get discouraged
too soon. "Try, try, try again."
Wives and mothers, do not fail to read
the large advertisement of the Ohio
Chemical Co., in this issue. It mav be
the means of saving your son or husband.
If you wish to secure a certain and
speedy result, when using Ayer's sarsa
parilla, be careful in observing the rules
of health, or the benefit may be retarded.
A lair and persistent trial of this medi
cine never fails, when the dilutions are
followed.

A EEAUTIFUL HOME-
I have just finished building another
attractive dwelling, in a good locality,
and will sell it on easv monthlv nav
ments. It is thoroughly built of good
material and workmanship, and it con
tains first-class modern improvements,
we opened up the furniture business at Haw
leyville and it we now take advantage of this
anniversary to eali attention to a lew faets
oneerniiifi the business, we trust it will not
ieK too strongly ot etrotiami. The severe
ml adverse criticism called knit at the time
by the tine stock ot Koods we put. in at this
small, out ot-tlie way place is yen (resh iD
our minds. We established a reputation far
nd wide for heing a crank ot the first matrr.i-
tude; and some wicked sinners anions the la
ity used a word that sounded like damphool,
which we presume meant something bail, but
as we never ccuUl find the word or its mean
iiitf in Webster we never laid it up against
them. The people at that time did not fully
ealize the many advantages ot Ilawleyville
as a railroad center, r urniture is a bulky ar
ticle ot merchandise, reiiuirinK an almost un
limited amount of space tor t he ttorage and
itable display ot a large stock. We bought
and at u low figure right in front ol the ('niou
lepot and erected on the siding a large and
ommodious but not expensive building and
ine which we inniK evervone to-day concedes
s admirably adapted to the handling ot furni
ture. Our main show room is one of the pret
tiest in the state, not excepting the cit ies. We
put. in a large and carefully selected stock at
no sunt and nave been gradna v increasing
and improving it in quality and design until
we now have a stock that is attracting buyers
n vuiage ami city aiiKe irom every part ot the
state, not casual and accidental buyers, as
they were at rirst, but those who come long
listances for the express purpose of buying,
ust oecause we nave a tine and tastv stock, a
little out of the ordinary, to select from, and
it prices below what the city dealer, strug
gling under city expenses, can sell.
Cars are unloaded directly into our ware
oonis. We have no trucking to hire, either
n receiving or sending out goods. Railroad
tracks radiate from Ilawleyville in all direc
tions. Our men attend personally to the load-
ng of goods, and the re are but. few points with
in ;o miles where we cannot send goods
straight to destination without change of ears.
itisk ot injury and breakage is therefore so
slight that we guarantee sate delivery and pay
an utiKUi. cuaiges.
owning tne land and buildings, we have no
exorbitant rents to pay. Taxes are extremely
low. is o cartage and no extra handling and
marring of furniture, our expenses, as anyone
can see, are infinitesimally small as cotnpar-

similar concern of any size in the state can
conform to circumstances or hard times and
reduce expenses to the minimum as readily
as we can. We pay all our bills promptly the
day they tall due, and we mean to buy at the
very bottom. Our stock is all new and fresh.
not a back number in It. We do not, advertise
to sell goods at cost or hall price, and never
have to trump up any hocus pocus reason lor
doing it. We are in the business to "buy and
sell and get gain," but not at the sacrifice of
reputation. We never advertised a low priced
leader as bait to pave the way for the sale ol
something else at a high price. We have no
special bargains, they are all consistent one
with nnot her and are marked to pay a living
commission, but please take notice that some
dealers would starve to death and fill a pau
per.s grave on our livingcotnmissioii. We do
not claim to be any smarter, shrewder, more
honest, nor better than our fellow men and
competitors, and do not claim to be endowed
with any superior business methods, but we
do claim most emphatically that we have
many advantages ot location that are silently
woi-King and counting steadily and faithfully
in our favor as the months and years go by,
even inougn inai location be awav oui in tne
howling wilderness among the tall trees anil
the frog ponds and pollywog hatcheries ot
Ilawleyville. The above are no jokes; they
are coin iacts presented tor the consideration
or tnoiigiittul buyers. In conclusion we are
willing now to acknowledge that our start
here was, as many said, something of a ven.
ture, hut we thought we could see our way
clear to the building up of a successful busi
ness, and now at the close of two years stead
ily increasing patronage we know you will
pardon us it we say in somewhat ot an exuf
tant spirit that we now know we made no mis
take and we can only look back to the two
years that are past and the social and business
connection and acquaintances we have made
in city and country.tar and near.with a feeling
or intense satisiacrion and pleasure, our cup
01 Happiness is luu.not simply from a pecum
ary standpoint, but because our business re
unions nave an been so very pleasant.

There a time within the distinct
rei-follection of the average citizen when
the tallies of l.rideenort were enrolled
anions the permanent shoppers in the
big dry good houses of Xew York city.
It they wanted a new dress or cloak or
even a hat, many of thein would flock to
the great city in order that they might
get the latest designs and styles. But
things have changed since theu. A few
years ago David M. Read opened a

OS THE SHEPAUG
The Shepaug railroad has enjoyed a
heavy passenger traffic during the last
season, the increase being very marked
over the preceding year. A parlor ear
has been run this year, which proved a
successful venture. The freight busi
ness has also increased. Those who are
good judges predict that the summer
business on the road is bound to steadily
increase, every year. It is believed that
this lovely and wild little valley is bound
more and more to grow in popularity as
a resort for city people. A good many
extensive improvements have been made
on the road during the last year. Three
heavy trestle bridges have been replaced
by more substantial structures, two or
three miles of steel rails laid and numer
ous small bridges replaced. These im
provements have been earned and paid
for, which shows that in the future, the
road is to be a piece of good paying
property.

reputation among the leading dry goods

to Xew York no longer for the latest
fads in wearing apparel, but visit the
big emporium of The 1). M. Head com
pany and make their selections, lins
!irm are alive to the interests of the peo
ple of Bridgeport and want their trade.
To secure it they lay before their patrons
a most inviting line of goods m every
department- They are goods, in every
instance, that can be depended upon to
be the latest in design and the most re
liable in texture.
It was a reporter's good fortune to-day
to stroll through this magnificently ap
pointed store. There was
NO SIGN OK 1IAU1 TIMKS.
On all sides, stocked to the ceiling, were
goods of every description. Upon enter
ing the tairheld avenue entrance tne
first stock to attract attention is the
dress goods department. In this part of
the store the ladies like to loiter and in
spect the tremendous array of dress
fabrics. A tasteful arrangement of the
goods at once announces the leading
colors and combinations, as well as the
different materials. The leading combi
nations in dres3 goods this fall will be
the black and white effects. These are
in striped silks, as well as figures,
and will be used extensively. There
are also Deautuui ngurea cnangeaoie
efi'ects which will hold a prominent posi
tion in the fall dress.
THESE KE- tCTS AUK IN' ALL
colors, such as brown and green, blue
and old rose, black aud green, black and
brown and green, and erminene. lhe
combinations in silks will figure conspic
uously in trimmings of black goods and
solid colors.
In the black goods, satins seem to con
tinue to lead, but bengalines, in plain and
frosted grograin silks and l'eandesoies
will be worn a great deal. The firm ex
hibit for inspection a big line of the
latest and most tasteful shades of silks,
in bengalines, plain, brocaded, and
Indian silks. In connection with these
are shown a most elaborate line of vel
vets for all trimmings, in all shades and
combinations. The colored dress goods
shown by the firm this year are better
than ever. The designs are tasteful and
full of harmony, while the colors are of
the choicest. The firm have imported
many French novelties in these goods
that are very attractive, no two patterns
being alike. These, like the blacks,
will be made in combinations witn velvet
and other trimmings. They are all of
the newest weaves
AND THE LATEST COLORS
A lady after selecting a dress pattern
should always Inspect the cloak depart
ment on the second floor. It is essential
to all ladies of taste, that their cloaks
should harmonize with their dress, and
in no other place in the county could she
secure a better match to her dress pat
tern than in the endless varieties Intro
duced bv this firm. In most instances,
they are made witn tne wortn collar,
and leg-of-mutton sleeves. Their trim
mings consist mostly or xur ana oraiaea
novelties. They are made up in heavy
teiver cloths, cheviots, aud diagonals,
aud can be found in all colors. A lull

with this department is an upholstery
annex. Here can be found a complete
collection of imported rugs, notable
among them being the Afghan, Danar

They have also a good line of domestic
ruers. Their line of lace curtains is of
the finest, wnue tneir assortment oi
chenille portieres and velour draperies

Special attention has been paid to chil
dren's outfits this year and a larger or
better line cannot be found in the city,

This is an interesting feature of the
make up of the fair. It is interesting,
nstructive and restful to the sight st-er.
It does not extend entirely around the
White City, but the passenger vho goes
its entire length obtains a good view of
all the great buildings, at least a birds-
eye view. Some make it six and a quar
ter miles in length, but four miles is near
er the truth. We will begin with the
northern loop, which is near the Govern
ment building, and on the side of it to
wards Lake Michigan. It runs outside
of most of the buildings, that is of the
xposition proper, tstarting from the
northern loop at the southeast corner of
the Government building, it runs to the
northeast extremity ot the grounds,
passing just to the right oi me
