Not every day are our lace counters filed with buy

viz, first, that have the newest and choicest of
laces Of every grade second that we sell them below
the market.
The difficulty is that every merchant says the same
w0thingS and you don't think il very saucy to doubt
just little because advertising does paint things too
rosy sometimes
We much desire you to find ont how careful we are

sells everywhere else for 70 cents about How do

we expect others To believe that our policy is low

Everybody knows, staple goods. One looks at
novelties and buys staples. Staple means something
that almost everybndy buys.
What everybody buys is certain to be good thing
somehow. The way debeigeS good is this the
money goes all for use and none for show; or rather
none for that kind OF show which limits use.
Why. last Spring we bought in one lot of $4,000

A French authority takes a lofty view of
the dressmaker's vocation. She must have
the artists eye to judge Of the effects Of color,
the sculptor's faculty for form that she may
soften the outlines, turn the figure to the
best advantage, and arrange drapery in bar-
monious folds. She must know history in
order to take from different epochs particu-
lar details suitable to various styles Of beau
ty, and to be sure of making no mistake in
poet to give grace and expression and char
acter to the costumes.

Color Photographs.

Some approach to the solution Of the great
problem of photographing an object In its nat
ural hues has Just been made by two French
photographers, NM. Cros and Carpenter
The process consists in taking three photo
graphs of the object, seen through screens
of orange, say, three photographs Of the OBJ
ject with its blue, red, and orange rays
quenched in turn. These proofs are taken
on glass, and the parts corresponding to the
quenched light are left Opaque, whereas the
parts influenced by the rays become trans
parent. A second set of three plates is then
prepared by coating them with albumenized
colodion on which albumen il coagulated by
by the action of alcohol and bromide Of
cadmium. After being allowed to imbibe
bchromate q ammonia this coating is ex-
posed for some minutes to diffused light
coming through one of the transparent
images already taken with a colored screen.
The transparent parts Of the latter allow the
light to pass. and cause the albumcn to con-
tract, while the Opaque parts screen the light.
The result is that, when the plate is immers-
ed in a coloring bath, TIE albumen absorbs
the color in those regions protected by the
Opaque portions of the first image and rejects
it in the other regions which contracted under
the light passing through the traDsparcncies
Of the image. This process 10 repeated for
all three images obtained by the colored
screens, and thus by employing three separate
baths of red, blue, and yellow for the images
got by the green, orange, and violent screens,
the quenched lights are recombined in one
picture Of the object. The liquid screens are
made Of solutions Of chloride Of cobalt for
the violet, snlphate Of copper for the blue,
and bichromate of potash for the orange,
and when the electric light is employed, they
are simply placed before the lamp, and the
object bathed in the colored light transmitted
through them is photographed direct

were his rides with girl drivers over Scand-
navian roads. "At every station in Finland, -

drive, after paving, gave her a silver piece
Another driver, twelve years Of age, was
named Ida Carolina. The tire of one Of our
wheels became loose, but she was equal to
the emergency; she alighted, blocked the
wheel with stone, went to farm house and
borrow ed few nails and hammer, and with
the help of farmer made everything right in

The brief announcement of Presi-
dent GarieId's death has been follow
ed by other particulars having a mel
ancholy interest in connection with
that sad event, The post-mortem ex-
animation Showed rs certain, what
might have been previously Inferred as
highly probable, that the wound was
of such a nature that the life could
not possibly have been saved. If it
could have been, then surely the.
President would have survived, for
it may safely be said that no human
being could have had greater Oh. more.
skilled attention, and certainly no sur
geons ever had a higher stimulus
to their exertions than those who,
watched the President, for they were:
urged on by the sense that tie whole
civilized world was watching for the
results of their efforts.
The announcement that those efforts
had finally tailed fell like a personal
disappointment upon every reader, for
it was not so much the Head of a
great State of whom people thought,
as the good man un justly and cruelty
assailed, meeting the sudden calamity
with calmness and courage,a and going
through the subsequent long struggle
for life with c~heerfulness and submis-
sion. There is no political excitement
in the States we are told, and indeed
none was to be expected, it was only
in the assassin's own brain that the
deed had any political meaning. The
circumstances are sad mainly from a
personal point of view; politically they
have little significance.

Therewas much restlessness and constant slight
vomiting, and by s o'clock p. IN. the Presidents
condition seemed even more serious than
when you saw him. Since then his symptoms
have gradually become more favorable. There
has been no vomiting or reorganization of fluid
from the stomach since o'clock last evening.
The President has slept good deal during the
night, and this morning expresses himself as
comparatively comfortable. The spasnodic
pains in the lower extremities have entirely
disappeared, leaving behind, however, much
muscular soreness and tenderness to the touch.
There is less tympanites and no abdominal
tenderness whatever except in the peputic
region. Since p. m. he has taken an ounce
and half of chicken broth every two hours
and retained it all. The wound was again
dressed antiseptically this morning. Alto
geiher but half grain of morphia has been
administered hypodermically during the last
six hours, and it has been found quite suffi-
cient. His pulse however still keeps up. AT
$50 a. m. it was 115, temperature 1908, respira-
ton "a.
Seventy-two hours have now elapsed since
the wound was received. We cannot but feel
encouraged this morning, although OF course
we do not overlook any of the perils that still
beset the path towards recovery. The course
of treatment agreed upon will be steadily used.

Guiteau's shot fired at the Nation

Guiteau's shot fred at the Nation.-No
Occasion for Public Fear or Excitement
NEW YORK, July 5.-Ex-Senator Conkling
in response to an inquiry as to what he thought
of the situation, said:
The assault upon President Garfield is an as
founding assault upon the nation. Tho shot
fired by mailman is shot fred at all of us.
No language can overstate the enormity of the
deed.
There is, however, no occasion for public APP
prehension or excitement. Our fathers fore
saw even such dire possibilities and provided
for them. The constitution points out just
what shall be done in just such an emergency
The Vice President on the death of the Presi-
dent instantly succeeds and the government
goes on as if no change had occurred. In this
case the Vice President is an upright, brave,
able man, abundantly qualified for the great
trust which Providence may have in store for
him. In his hands no harm will come to pub
lie interests. He is thoroughly patriotic. To
strive TO array hostility or distrust against him
at such an hour is unspeakably wicked and
reasonable. No patriot, whatever his politics,
can do anything now until the shadow passes
by, but bear up the hands Of The Vice Presi-
dent. This the conservative and law-abiding
people of the country will unite in doing He
will have the prayers of all good men and wo-
men. Assassination, whether by pistol or news
papers, will be stamped out by the American
people, with righteous and indignant accord.
There being now no president Of the Senate
ana no speaker OF tho House, the Vice PreSi-
dent is the one safeguard and reliance of the
country against uncertainty and chaos, and
lost indeed to wisdom and virtue must be the
American who would increase the danger or
perturbation at such time.
Sad and deplorable as the crime ia, it is the
glory and safety Of our free institutions that no
madman's act can reach beyond the individual
at whom he aims. The government belongs
to the people and will go on peacefully even ia
trial like this. Griei and horror must pre-
wade all hearts. Meanwhile as when death
strikes the head of a family, the survivors
must manfully proceed. So when the head of
the government falls, composure and duty still
remain to the nation and to all its citizens
Mourning as we all do each man must show
his part of fortitude and firmness, and the
same sense and wisdom do, which have led this
people through greater perils will not be want
ing now. Instead of bitterness and treasona-
BILE calamity, this is time for the American
people to cultivate peace and good will and to
strengthen and brighten the links which bind
them together. Civilization will not halt or
stumble because Providence has demented one
poor creature nor because ferocious and afro
cious fasehood has for time attempted to be-
wilder the public senses.
