THE ABOVE AD Is an advertisement which was a fake pure and simple and we are sor ry" for the poor fellow who lost his V. Well, because we read fake ads once In a while, that's no reason that, all advertisers are of the same class. You'll see advertisers very often say their 33 or 37-cent tea Is the regular rft-eent tea; again, you'll see where an. advertiser says he'll sell you Grain-O, . Brain-O or Insane-O for 10 cents per pound and he'll tell yon it looks like coffee, tastes like coffee, drinks like coffee, but you can bet your boots It in't coffee, neither is the other fel low's 37-cent tea as good as our 50 cent tea.' When yon read our ads you fan always believe what we say to be true. Our say-so in our advertise ment i"onr do-so in our store.

Paul Mendelssohn and John J. Lynch, two of the new supernumerar ies, filed their bond and were sworn in vesttrdav afternoon, the former by City Clerk M. .7.

Tilings looked wintry this morning, the grounc being covered with a cou ple of inches of snow, and while the flakes kept coming dov.i on auu or during the day. still the beautiful white carpet that people saw stretched before xliem in the morning was no where to lv seen a few hours later. There "was no city court this morn ing. The only case worthy the atten tention of the court was one "straight"' drunk named Peter Dolan, and he "settled"' for S3. A young man named John Crane was arrested this morning at S:2." for being drunk. At court hour he was insensible and therefore unlit to appear before the court. Early this morning Superintendent of Streets lieiley had a few men at work cleaning North square. The con ditions that prevail there during heavy showers or after a snowfall are not the fault of the street inspector. The difficulty appears to be with the grade of the pavement in the first place and the lack of catch basins at the foot of Bishop street in the second place. Vntil the latter are put in in rainy or slushy weather travel between Fogg's and O'Brien's stores will be impossi ble.

Ives by name, who resides in Cheshire, created a little excitement in the eastern section of the city late yesterday afternoon. He had imbibed a little too freely of the wine cup and was unable to guide in a proper man ner the horse he was driving. It was going from one side of East Main street to the other and several acci dents were narrowly averted. He added to the excitement by shouting as he went along. When he reached a point shortly beyond the Sacred Heart church his wagon came in contact with and overturned a wagon belonging to J. V. Gallagher. The latter's horse was seized before it could make a dash for liberty. Fortunately no damage was done and the man from Cheshire departed in the same buoyant mood. The piano pupils of Professor B. E.
