A FEW reasons why they should have the
II preference over al othere:
/. Wheeler Wilson's Sewing Machine is
much simpler than any Of the others; re-
quiring lees than half the amount Of ma
ohinery.
g. AS the result OF this simplicity, this ma.
chine is much less liable than the others to
got out OF repair.
8. Another .rerult OF this simplicity is
greater durability.
4. Another result is less friction, and, con.
sequontly, greater case and rapidity NJ mo-
ton, with less noise. cs-
8. And greatest Of all that it lscs no Shut.
tie, and makes the lock stitch.
It is tho cheapest to bny the best. Bny the
machine that has Justly, fairly and hohora-
bly, won q reputation and independence
against a strong aud bitter competition. For
moro than twcnty years has tho Wheeler 4
Wilson not only stood Arst and foremost. but
now stands the uniivalled Sewing Machine OF
tho enlightened civilized world. Buy the ma
chine that has been thus tested and proved,
and then you are sure to get the best. For

for stealing diamond pin from the shirt bosom OF

THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE.

The Judiciary Committee held Its third session
yesterday at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, beginning at
eleven O'Clock A. M. and concluding shortly after
seven O'Clock In the evening.
Tae same ridiculous determination to exclude the
press was persevered in, the result being that tho
public can receive no Trustworthy Information con.
corning this important investigation. II Is under
stood that the older and wiser heads OF the commit
tee have been from the beginning favor OF afford.
ing the public an opportunity to see what this
mittee Is doing but the younger statesmen take so
great delight in attaching mysterious Importance
to the committees deliberations that they have
overrued such men as MIR. Tllden aud succeeded In
establishing "Star Chamber"
The examination in the "g0ld case" was con-
tinued yesterday, ana County Clerk Loew was again
three hours on the witness stand swearing to docu-
mentary evidence a file OF which he has now handed

Court. The testimony given by all these Witnesses
wa" Tse =" Committee does not seem very anxious to
look alter the comfort OF witnesses waiting TO be
examined, each witness being obliged 10 remain
standing Ia the corridor OF the hotel until he Is
called. County Clerk Loew last evening, while
waiting 10 present some documents ne had been
sent for mad to wait three hours In this way before
the adjournment OF the COMMITTEES; aud Judge
Garvin, Notwithstanding his nigh Official posi-
ZION, was told also TO wait about nall an hour
or SO before being admitted. Warden Stacom also
had an Intellectual "warinR to be called" In answer
10 a subpoena, though having handed IN at an early
hour all the papers IN the Pearsall OC0nnOr case.
