ECONOMY !!

The public may remember that
two years ago we had at this
season of the year a much larger
stock of Photograph Albums than
even so large and varied an as.
sortment as ours required. Our
customers being duly advised of
the fact that Albums could be
purchased at exceptionally low
prices, the stock was speedily re-
duced. The circumstances this
year are the same, and for the
next thirty days we will offer
such unparalleled inducements
that any one needing an Album
must find it for advantage to buy
NOW. Pocket Knives and Wal
let's are also included in the same
offer. We feel assured that the
discriminating readers of this
paper will act with promptness.

A telegram from Usage Mission, Kan
sas. brings the intelligence to the Jesuit
Fathers Of this city Of the death by apop-
lexy, ON August oath, OF the Rev. James
G. VanGOch, s. j., formerly, for many
years. attached to the Church Of the HOLY
Family, West Twelfth street, Chicago,
and widely known throughout the coun-
try as a jealous and effective missionary.
He was the companion Of Father Smarius
during the last years OF the mission work
Of that eloquent Jesuit. Later he was as
ISOLATED with Father Damen In similar
duties, from which he was released a few
years ago, and transferred to Milwaukee,
where he had pastoral charge OF the
Church Of the Holy Name. At the same
time he acted In the capacity Of Chaplain
to the Soldiers Home, Milwaukee,. He
was greatly beloved by all the old Grip
pied veterans In the asylum for friendless
warriors. and great was their sorrow when,
about a year ago, he was assigned by his
ecclesiastical superiors TO the Usage Mis-.
sion, Kansas. where he died at the post OF
duty. He was born in Bots lie Due, Hol-
land, October rs, 1881, and having evinced
at an early age the disposition for a re-
ligious life, he was educated for the priest
hood, and, after the usual course OF stud
les at the Diocesan Seminary OF his ma
tive place, he was ordained q priest.
Shortly afterward he left Europe for the
United States, and here he Joined the
Order OF Jesuits, and made his probation
In the Missouri province Of that Society.
He entered November 10, 1856. and made
his last vows August Is, 1863
