THE STORE AND THE TRADE.

A study of this ground plan, incom-
plete as it is, will give you better idea
of the store, and of what is in it, than de-
scription can do The store covers III
acres; basement is under, and galleries
are over, a part. The whole affords
somewhere about S acres of room.
This particular business is a. years old;
it began in 1876 with clothing; in 1877
itbecame general store with such goods
as you see in the plan, with carpets, up
holstery, furniture, and misunderstanding
upstairs. Since that time gallery after
gallery has been added; and there is
not an inch of room to spare anywhere.
To the surprise of many, it has hourished
while trade was languishing almost
everywhere else.
To us there is no mystery about it;
nothing surprising even; unless it be
surprising that so conspicuous business
should ever be misunderstood. We do
nothing more than simply to provide
facilities for your getting what you want.
We don't mean to say that other
facilities are not provided for distributing
goods but that's a different thing.
We provide so that you get what you
want exactly aOhat y0w aOantI In the
first place we've got it. In the second
place we send it. And if we send you
the wrong thing, or if you think the
charge is too much, you bundle it back

to us.
We tell of these things in the news
papers, because there are thousands of
you who don't know what we are
doing; thousands of you don't know the
character of the stock that fills these S
acres; thousands of you who, therefore,
buy where you pay more money.
We are every merchants fair and
open competitor. We do not expect to
gather millions of trade from all over
the country without meeting opposition
and misrepresentation. Some will be-
lieve whatever is said against us. The
only answer we make is: Send back
whatever you don't want at the price.
We want your trade. You want our
goods; or would want them, if you
knew. No matter how far away you
may be; you will do we'll to send to
us for some things. We ask you to
write to us about something you have
present occasion for.
When we get in communication with
you, we shall have one means of winning
your trade, viz, by pleasing you. When
we have won it, we shall have one means
of keeping it, viz, by dealing with you
as we deal with everybody: giving you
large return for your money, and sup
plying your wants SO intelligently that
you will write us for what you want as
naturally as you say "good morning"
to your next-door neighbor.

you meet a woman on street crossing,
and you have no more idea which way she
Is trying to go than if she were hen.
You starboard your helm and try to pass
her' and the first thing you know she jams
ner helm hard a-port, luffs, and comes up
into the wind, with all sails shaking, right
athwart your bows. What's needed is
signal that will tell you which way a woman

a Living Child Turning Into
AnAahn

The most extraordinary case OF
schlerema, or petrifying of the skin,
known in medical history, was made
the subject of medical clinic in Cleve-
land, Ohio, on Saturday. The case
was that of a child brought there from
New Philadelphia, and it is becoming
literally a petrifed child. The flesh is
as cold and hard almost as marble, and
while the child which is three years
old, continues to live, i! can only freely
move its lips and eyes. 1t has none Of
the warmth and pliability of the human
flesh, and sleeps with it's eyes open,
presenting a most ghastly spectacle.
Until six months ago it was in perfect
health. The disease is one of the con
nective tissues between the skin and
flesh, whose origin is unknown, but it
is supposed to be caused by perverted
nutrition. This is the thirty fifth case
discovered, and is an important one,
inasmuch as no instance has heretofore
been known where the entire body was
affected. The child must die, as COM
pleta petrification will ensue.

An Umbrella Returned.

AS your faith is so shall 1t be, &C., is
scrip,ural saying which was fully YER
ihed in the case of the gentleman who
had so large faith in the REPUBLICAN
as to advertise the loss Of an umbrella
in its columns. Be this as 1t may, how
ever, Mr.. Ayars of the Post Office de.
partmens has had his umbrella return
ed to hin through the notice in the Re
publican. He left his umbrella in the
house Of Mr.. c. F. Bennett who like an
honest man returned it to its owner.
Mr.. Ayars thanks both Mr.. Bsnnett
and the Republican. The notice of the
lost umbrella has disclosed two very
important things, one is that the Re.
publican is the best advertising medi-
um in the city, and another is that
there is at least one honest man who
will return stray umbrella when he
finds the owner.

The snow Storm.

The cold weather OF yesterday mod.
Grated towards evening and snow was
shifted In the atmosphere. Between
eight and nine o'clock the flakes bs
gan TO come down In DO very gentl-
manner, and ths wind blowing around
the exposed corners soon began to bank
1t up on the pavements and door steps.
The snow continued to fall without In.
terruption all night and about half.
past four this morning II varied and
commenced falling In tbe shape Of hail
and drizzling rain. At daylight this
morning the snow was on an
average about seven inches In depth,
but in some places where the wind b ad
full sweep 1t was banked up from IS
inches to two feet In depth. Pedestri.
anism was rendered very difficult, and
the wind blew so strong that q tight
hold had to be kept upon hats and 9TH
er loose wearing garment. The snow
brigade with shoveis and brooms was
out early and found plenty to do.
The street cars to the great disap
pointment Of many who had a long dis
tonos TO 60 to work failed to make their
trips. About eight O'Clock the snow
plough drawn by four horses went
ploughiug down one track OF tho city
railway and back on the other, scatter.
ing the snow In all directions, and
about ten o'clock the street cars ven
tured out on their first trips.
Inquiry at the P. W. & B. depot was
met with the response that the trains
were all on time, though the New York
mail had failed to male connection, and
no New York papers reached the city.
About 9 O'Clock drizzling rain again
set in, and the temperature rising the
snow began rapidly to melt, and II It
continues, the streets must necess sarily
be very much flooded. Though there
was plenty Of snow ON the ground, the
temptation to bring out the sleighs did
not result in filling the air with the
jingling Of the merry bells. So far as
We can learn from our exchanges the
snow was general.

BatIfE DALEY ~ Condition

A rnmor prevailed at New Castle
this morning that James Daley the
Bailif of the city council had relapse,
that modification had set in and that
his life was despaired Of The report
was telephoned to this Office from New
Castle when we Immediately set out to
ascertain whether there was any truth
in it, calling upon acting bailiti Lynch
and City clerk Frazer We we're inform
ed that Mr.. Daley though having a
relapse was now out of danger. The
wound In the neck had healed up too
quickly which led to inflammation and a
necessity to reopen 1t which was done
by DR.. Osle when quantity OF black
clo:ted blood was discharged.
The pain was so great that for two or
three hours on Saturday evening, Mr..
Daley was in delirious state, but he
has since improved so much that he is
considered beyond danger. He intend
ed to appear before the Grand Jury to-
day to testify against his assailant, but
owing to the stormy weather, II was
thought prudent for him not to unnec.
