The Lion received the information
without remarks, and the caller went

Soon another appeared with a simila

Yesterday reporter for the PRESS was
shown some of the beautiful and tempting
goods Turner Brothers will display at their
grand opening to-day. The brocades are not
only as delicate in their colors, but the
flowers as exqrisitely worked as we are wont
to imagine graced the days when cavaliers, as
we'll as ladies, habited themselves in silks and
velvets. Some Of these brocades cost IS a
yard, and are imported twelve yards in the
piece Then there are surahs and pongees
all in soft delicate shades, and the merveilleux
goods, so popular at the present time. The
fringes and trimmings are exquisite, the
iridescent fringes costing SIS yard. The
parasols are very elaborate and in all the
fashionable colors. Turner Brothers also
have the agency for the celebrated Centemeri
kid gloves, in from three to ten buttons.

A Young Trickster,

The other day young lad, aged about Is
years who lives near the corner of Franklin
and Federal streets, went home from the shop,
and finding the family out, thought he would
have some fun. He went to the pantry, got
out some meat and accessories, had a hearty
lunch, left the dishes where they were used,
and then proceeded to lock up in trunk of his,
all the knives, forks and spoons. except one or
two. When the family came there was every
appearance of a burglary. Examination re-
vealed the loss of the knives, forks and spoons,
and Deputy Marshal Black was sent for. He
questioned everybody and finally boy in the
neighborhood said the only thing he had seen
out of the way was the young lad in question
getting over the back fence. This statement
set the father to thinking aud he taxed the lad
who had been enjoying the fun, with knowing
who had taken the things. Finally the youth
owned up, but perhaps he didn't catch it.
