Low PRICES we have put

they will We sell LUPIN'S
CASlIMERES because we
know that they will give more
satisfaction to the wearer than
any other Cashmeres manufac-
tured, and the reason is that
they are made of the finest ma
terlal and dyed with the finest
dyes. Their great superiority
over all makes has given them
the monopoly Of the fine trade
of the world. Buyers will no.
tice that whenever they see
them advertised, or wherever
they are offered for sale, they
are acknowledged as the stand

Gen r. X. Scott at Napoleon Ohio on

man named w. G. Drury, the only offense of
the latter being that he refused to admit Scott

tered the army during the war of the rebellion

The Chicago Times puts it rather forcibly
in this way:
II Vice President Wheeler were to die to-
morrow, Mr. Allen G. Thurman, democrat,
senator from Ohio, would take his place. In
that event, Mr. Thurman would have the open
ing of the electoral votes, and according to
the extreme republican doctrine, he would
have the counting and the declaration of the
result. Mr.. Thurman might be trusted to do
his full duty in the matter, whatever it might
be; but if such an event occurred, how quick
ly Edmunds would get back to his preaching
of eight years ago, that there is no power IN
the vice president to determine the result! And
with what haste Robson would abandon his
position,

mentng your High School for we paid it a
short visit and found 1t progressing finely in
the grand work of advancement.

we have not. 1t must have been lively
Christmas eve
They had an exquisite Xmas tree at Ar
thurs hall. The presents were about three
hundred IN number and from cent cigar to
a 400 gold watch and cham. The exercises
were distinguished for their appropriateness
and for the laudable manner in which they
were executed. The hall, though spacious,
did not prove ample for this occasion, as it
was overlooking with spectators and partici-
pants. 1t was a mastery effort and everybody
seems pleased.
On account OF the weather and night the
Constellation" did not perform the exercises
of the programme for Dec. 21th, but adjourned
until Z p. NJ New Years night. The Con
steliation Messenger will be read as the first
exercise for the evening.

EXTREMES MEET
In The Persons Of Gen, Tom Thumb and Chang, The
Giant

IN The Persons Of Gen. Tom Thumb and Chang The
Giant
The Boody house has two remarkable guests,
whose prominent characteristics are made the
mole prominent by the striking contrast they
present. one is Chang, the ChIneie giant, and
the other is Gen. Tom Thumb, well known all
over the world. They arrived yesterday with
Barnums show, and reporter Of the Telegram
who met Mr.. Thomas, the press agent at the
Boody last evening" was invited to call upon
these peculiar people. Gen Thumb and his wife
Minnie WaIren), were four d In their room on
the second ioor-and the appearance they pre-
sented In that commodiOus apartment was NOT
unlike two ordinary adults In hve-acre held.
These intelligent little people seemed rather
glad to see company, and entertained their call
ers fox half an hour with an account Of their ad'
ventures, in their travels around the world
Among other interesting statements, the general
said thst they had travelled 5000 miles In three
years. The general ia now about 48 years old
He 10 a veteran In the show business, having
been travelling in that line fer SO years. BE
shaved Of his long beard, two or three days age
at Peru. Ind, and his wife remarked that she
thought 1t materially improved his appearance
He seemed to regret that he could not get shaved
on Sunday. The couple have been married fol
IS years. and seem to live very happily together
The other extreme was Chang, the giant, who
looked as though he might put Tom Thumb In
one vest pocket and his wife in the other, and
suffer no serious inconvenience. Toledo Tee
