Ill year. In this time his garments have
found their way to almost every part of

parallel. His great aim has been to sell
GOOD CLOTHING, and at uniformly
low profit. He has been dealing in the
Goods of such men as Wanamaker 81
Brown of Philadelphia, and Harris of the
same city. These are the princes in the
Clothing trade.
Mr.. n. has suits of almost every quail
ty and price, at prices for entire suits
from Sc and 81, and on up to the highest
prices found in Clothing House.

ness-an order department. He has an
almost endless variety of Samples from
which to select a suit or single garment.
He has adopted Wanamaker's rule of
guaranteeing satisfaction; and every gar
ment must be to the mind of the purchas-
or. This feature of his business has been,
like his ready-made trade, decided sue
cess. He aims in this part of his trade to
combine the excellence of home work
with the cheapness of ready-made.

THE MURDERED GIRL
Il Mysterious Deliriaa..
Milwaukee Wisconsin.l

William Elliott, boy of eleven years,
whose parents reside on Fourth street, be-
tween Vliet and Cherry streets, has been con-
fined to his bed for week, owing to de-
lirium Of unusual character During his
school vacation he expressed wish to his
father to earn some money with which to
buy printing press to use when not at
school. The father, in order to crafty the
young sons desires, sought and found a
place where he could make little money.
Ihe situation was at brewery, and stamp
ing corks was the labor he per-
formed. He worked parts of two
days, and becoming quite seriously
ill, was told by his employer to go home and
rest, and return when he felt better. He
obeyed; but from the time he arrived home
up to last accounts he suffered continual de-
llrlum. He has wonderful gift of speech,
and IN his illness is continually talking in a
manner. Recently the boy said to his
mother: Mamma, am going to heaven as
EllJah Went-in the chariot of fire. God
has seat for me next to him; it is No. 80,
and he has reserved the one next to me for
you; SO don't hold me.'' This is the man
ner in which he talks at frequent intervals.
A neighbours daughter had been quite
SERIOUSLY i'll, and the boy mother requested
her daughter to go and see how the sick
girl was getting along. To this the young
Invalid replied: "Don't go; the little girl is
dead. know she is. I saw her go to
heaven myself. Don't send sister over.''
bis talk seemed strange, as he had not been
out OF the house for over week. The
mother sent her daughter to make the in
curry. She returned and reported the little
girl dead, as their sick boy had stated.
Ihe case Is one to thoroughly puzzle the
doctors and attendants.

"STYLE" IN THE CHURCHEs

There is sermon in the story of the
assistant postmaster at La Porte, Ind, who
has just been arrested for robbing the mails.
He was member of the Episcopal church
in that place, close attendant upon its or
dinances, q member of the choir, and a
prominent teacher in the Sunday school.
He had no bad habits-neithsr smoked nor
drank-and had, to all appearance, lived a
bla eless life. But few days ago it was
discovered that for long time past he has
been in the habit of robbing the mails for
the purpose of gratifying his fondness for
dress and keeping up style equal to that of
his as sociates in the church and Sunday
school. He confessed his crime when de-
tected, professed the keenest repentance,
and now occupies felon's cell.
His story is one of many that might be
told-his fall and it's cause are almost too
common to afford topic for more than O
passing remark. One of the worst vices fos-
tered by the churches of to-day is a fondness
for dress and outward display. Among
women this is more particularly conspicu-
Gus. A survey of the attendants upon divine
worship upon any Sabbath day reveals the
extent to which dress in place of Deity is
worshiped. The female portion of the
congregation is bedecked with the costliest of
millinery, the finest of silks, the most COR
geous of wrappings, the most costly of
jewelry. Each appears to vie with
the others in her effort at
display-to excel in responsiveness of ap-

tn .refore been compelled, and will be COM
PEELED to leave the re idue of said receipts in
the possession of 'said Keifer, without having
the protection of which he is entitled to the
proper duplicate receipts. He therefore prays
that the court order SAID Keifer to execute the
proper duplicate receipt to the undersigned for
the several sums to him paid as aforesaid.
The undersigned herewith produces the re-
c Ipts of the said Keifer for the said several
amounts. except the receipts that are on file and
IN custody of said Keifer. The undersigned
calls the attention of the court to the wording
OF the receipts given by said kiefer and
herewith turned therein falsely stating Kept

to pay over to the present clerk A. b. Keifer by
an order of court" when said Keifer well
knew the same was paid over nv
an order procured dy The undersigned and not by

said order may be discharged.

count of amount paid into court by the

amount in his hands which the said Keifer re-

Keifer may he ordered to refund the same.

parel A woman with plain bonnet or an
unassuminy dress bee mes the cynosure of
all eyes, and she is glad to escape obserya-
ton by shrinking away into some obscure
corner of the church. if she has not already
been assigned to such seat by the ssgentle-
maaly usher VIII, gl1ges men and women
by the quality of their clothes. A man with
rusty cot or a crnmpisd cravat receives
m IRE attenti IN than the priest in his robes
or the word he breaches. Costly apparel is
the magic wand which opsns to the wearer
! the choicest pews, AMI wins the profoundest
obeisauce.
1t is not to be wondered at that under
| these circumstances people are often led to
! an lnordinate fondness for dress, and fire.
| qnently spend much more than their means
will allow in order to keep up style at church
and avoid invidious attention from their
, neighbors. Statistics show that thousands
of girls ira % their downfall to this cause.
They shrink from contact with those who
are better dressed than they, and that they
may not be placed at disad 'antage they
too often sell their virtue to purchase dress.
Men who would otherwise have lived a
blameless life, and filled an honorable posi-
ton in the business world, are not infre-
quently forced into debt. and sometimes
driven to dishonesty, to procure the means
with which to crafty the vanity of their
wives and daughters, and enable them
to keep up style in the dry goods exhibitions
misnamed churches.
Millinery and dressmaking bills eat up
large part of the ordinary salary, and debt
and dishonor inevitably follow the attempt
of majority of men who seek to keep up
their wives and their daughters style at the
sanctuary.
We presume this subject is of too little
Importance to merit the attention of the
pulpit. A crusade against extravaganza in
dress would be unpopular, too, in any of the
| fashionable churches. 1t makes no differ
ence that this vice is productive of untold
prostitution and crime; appearances must be
kept up, and the fashionable follies of the
day must go unrebuked. The SUNDAY GLOBE
expects no assistance from the pulpit, but
nevertheless it must speak out, and enter a
vigorous protest against the unchristian and
dishonest mania SO conspicuous in our
caurches-a maria that leads women to lives
of shame, and drives men to bankruptcy
and felon's cell. 1t is no small evil. 1t is
increasing as the years go by, and contributes
more than any other single cause to the
Decentralization, hypocrisy and moral debase-
ment so prolific in the church organizations
of to-day.
