BEAR in mind that before buying cloth.
ing from us, We want you to go to all the
clothing stores claiming to sell goods at
low prices, look at their goods, get their
lowest prices and then come to US and we
will sell you the same or better goods for
less money. We are able to do this be-
cause an experience of twenty-five years
IN the manufacture Of clothing has given
us a thorough knowledge Of the business
because We manufacture all our goods
ourselves, therefore have only one profit
to make, and the volume Of our business
justifes us in making that profit a very
small one over manufacturing cost. To
convince yourself Of the truth Of what
we claim, you have only to follow the ad-
vice given you at the beginning Of this
notice.

Train on the New York Central, near
Buffalo. Promptly on the return of the
train so narrowly escaping, on its east
ward journey, a Journal reporter enter
viewed the train men as the tightening
messenger lay on the "Y," at this city,
as if taking breath before plunging on
ward to Cleveland,
No story of railway peril and narrow
escape from seeming speedy destruction
exceeds in thrilling interest that OF
these brave men of the rail. The train
was some behind time when 1t left the
last stop, and the engineer pulled the
throttle.valve wide open to make up
some of it in the next twenty miles to
Buffalo.
The white train flew away at nearly
fifty miles an hour. Five minutes and
the train had sped four miles, ten more,
eight miles; and in twenty minutes they
shot past the east end of a siding one
mile in length. The engineer was at his
post straining his eyes for the night
watch at the other end, his strong hand
on the lever. He could see nothing,
and, either from a sort of presentment,
or else from preCaution, he pushed back
the steam valve slightly and with the
other hand touched the air-brake valve.
At the instant the speeding rays Of the
locomotive head light reached the looked
for locality of the switch, and revealed
mercy of heaven the track ahead piled
full of the debris of a railway collision
Instantly the three levers, the steam
valve, the air-brake and the reversing
bar were used, and the train set back, as
it were upon its launches. So violent
was the shock that the postal clerks and
officers found themselves thrown, mixed
up together mail packages and sacks, in
to the forward end of the car as the train
stood still. So suddenly had this trans
pired that no one had even looked from
the cars, but now they sprang to the
doors and got down and went forward.
Such sight met their eyes as no one of
them will forget to his dying hour. Right
before the snorting engine was a pile Of
half dozen broken passenger coaches;
as many splintered freight cars, and sew
eral wounded men and women. A pas
senger train had Collided with the rear
end of a freight train which had not
drawn far enough up the siding. But
the fast mail! There in the pilot house
stood the brave engineer, his hands still
on his levers, pale, but showing no sign
of fright. He had stopped his train er-
actly fifteen feet before the lOreckl
Instantly the men Comprehended their
awful escape, and to whose iron nerve
they were indebted for sweet life. Tears
filled their eyes and their hearts were
touched. Then each reached up into
the cab and shook the engineers hand,
but not a word d was spoken. Brave
Knight of the Rail We regret that his
name is not known to us. 1t should be
made we'll known. The collision had
occurred almost at the time the fast train
was due, which accounts for signals not
being given. The escape is one of the
most thrilling on record.
