comes to system that extorts tribute from
the poorest and humblest, under threats OF

OF st. Georges, this county, which occurred
ON Monday evening, the community loses a

the truest sense of the words, possessing
that sterling integrity and whole-souled

Wednesday, December 6.

Christmas buying has really |
begun in earnest here. We've |
been a little slow tospeak of it;
for we've been a little slow, in
sopts, in getting ready. We
can say now, of every class Of
goods without exception, so far
as we are aware, that they are
perfectly ready; and the sooner
YOU come the better.
Christmas and giving do not
make SO great a difference in
our trade as you think. We
sell almost the same things
now that we sell the year
round. We sell a great deal
more now of almost everything
and a few sorts of goods,
mostly trifes both to us and to
you, belong so to the giving
time that they are trash after
ward. But really we have
very little Of such. We hav'nt
said much about it; but we
have been gathering for you,
Christmas after Christmas,
larger and larger stores of the
beautiful and useful, for gifts
of permanent practical value,
1t sounds strange to say so
But everything in merchandise
is perishable. The fashion
of this world passeth away
With the vogue of things, the
value goes also. We do moi
dare to buy enough Of scarcely
anything to enable us to tel
you that the things are here
and you may come wheneye
you please. 1t is always tru'
that the best time-is at once
when all the new things ar
!, together. But you can coun
q on this: People generally pu
E off till the last days, and thel
z buy in a jam whatever is left
The particular, economical
thrifty, wise, people buy NOR
'' carefully; and get more fo
st their money.
y 1t is a long argument ; bu
he too plain TO be followed out
vS ve its hundred ends. Here is
cd cd great storeful Of gift-goods
~ gifts of lasting value, gifts
'nt ht beauty, gifts OF more precio,
4, 4, fragrance than beauty an
value together, and gifts
lp; folly, according as they al
's. Ss chosen. Buy when you vii
as Any time is a better than the,

remarks he said, referring to the result OF
the elections: 81 am quite certain that the
late demonstration did not spring from any
pre-existing love for the party which was
called to power, nor did the people place
the affairs Of State in our hands to be by

4 RARE OPERA.
The Magnificent Presentation Of "Ths
Queens Lace handkerchief

queens Lace h8udkerchie1.
The performance in the Opera House last
evening was one of the most gorgeously
gotten up entertainments ever given in this
city. 1t was an exact reproduction of "Thc
Queens Lace Handkerchief" as given In the
Philadelphia Lyeeum for the past five
weeks, with all the details of stage elabora-
tion and eostuming. The house was filed
with first-class audience, who thoroughly
enjoyed the whole evenings program from
beginning to end. The scenery was brought
with the troupe, which, all told, including a
most excellent orchestra, numbered about
90 persons.
The plot of the play is in no way deep,
of course, but the situations are striking
| and the music just as pretty as needs be.
| With two or three exceptions, perhaps, the
| solos were not SO taking on the whole as
| the charming ehoruses. The voices were In
| good trim and of fine quality, making en-
cores of common occurrence. Their costumes
were exquisite, varied and almost number
| less. They were rich in design and novel In
| their effect until the audience began to
wonder what would come next. Miss
| Paulin as the hing and Miss Post as the
| Queen filled their respective roles with grace
and ability, it being hard to tell really which
was the favorite. The honors, however
were equally divided among the other par.
ticipants, the arch conspirators especially
coming in for their share of applause, es
pccially one of the prime ministers with 9
long nose, who gave decidedly the best male
solo of the evening. All in all the audience
was delighted, enchanted, and trust tn,
Queen and her handkerchief may again fine
their way to the Opera House.

Tse transit OF venus.

The transit of Venus across the SUMS |
disc which is now In progress, is one OF the |
most interesting celestial events known to
modern astronomy. 1t seems strange at
first sight that the passage of an apparently
tiny speck of matter between the earth and
the sun should be thought of such immense
importance that millions Of dollars should
be expended in making accurate observa-
tions of the transit, but when we remember
that 1t Is by this means that we are able to
arrive at the distance of the earth from its
primary, and then reflect upon the growing
commercial importance of the science OF
meterology, we sec that 1t is not merely
the curiosity of the scientific duletd''te
that prompts such lavish expenditure as
that which has marked the preparations for
this transit ; but. aside from the desire to
+" know" which is itself highly commenda-
bic, we expect to reap as the result of to-
days work benefits of most substantial
nature. There has lately grown up in the
minds of meterologists strong opinion
amounting almost to conviction that the sun
exerts very decided If not a controlling
Influence upon the weather of the earth
Many curious things have been observed ii
support OF this view and there is goot
reason for believing that more accurate
knowledge of the sun with respect to it
relation to the earth would tent
to throw light upon the Origin
and development of storms an(
all other events of meteorological char
acter. The immense advantage, com
mercially considered, which correc
weather would bring us can be PARTIAL.
measured by what has already beel
accomplished in this direction by tn
work of the National Weather Bureau
aud yet, much as has been done

opinion that the science of mcteorology il
only in its infancy and that the present cen
tury will witness such perfection in thu
methods of foretelling the weather
that no elemental disturbance from
Il simple shower to tornado
will be able to catch us unprepared for III

There are many other interesting point

Christmas cards are actually
better than last year; more of
them; more successful; and
we're halt-a-mind to tell you
a secret. A year ago a Phila-
delphia artist showed us some
uncommonly bright conceits
of her own. We struck a
bar9ain with her in two
minutes for all she could do.
She can do a good deal in a
year, as you can see The
things are indesribable, un-
imaginable, but by no means
unintelligible. They are
rather costly, considered as
cards; but they are not cards.
They are artistic gifts, alto.

are little bits of actual art
sometimes with a touch of the
useful.
