PHILADELPHIA.
THURSDAY:

/ Half-a-dozen new Cashmere
Valley shawls, $3.50 to 5000.
Those who are familiar with
India shawls will know about
what these are, when we say:
first, that there was nothing in
the advertisements of two or
three New York houses two or
three months ago to the effect
that India shawls were reduced
to one-half; and second, that
these half-dozen are each about
a hundred dollars below what
we consider value, taking the
season through. They are very
harmonious shawls; rich in en-
broidery, Of course; and very
gentle in color-effect.
The real secret of those ad-
vertisements that we have men-
toned is that the same houses
tried last fall to make prices very
high; failed; and, when they
rectifed their blunder, called it
a reduction of one-half. We
didn't go up; and so didn't 60
down.
1908 Chestnut.
Armure silks are silks with a
tiny figure in the weaving. The
effect of such a figure is to take
away the lustre. Black armures
are used for wraps and dresses,
not only in mourning but for
ordinary wear, by ladies of quiet
tastes. 81 to s..
Tafeta black silk for Innings
and for house dresses-we1l-
suited for the latter, as cents.

Our trade in mourning-dress
goods is growing just as it ought
to grow. We provide the best
goods the world produces.
Everybody knows that we pro-
vide the not best for those who
don't want to pay for the best.
Best means finest qualities Of
the best makes.
Now there are ladies' who
don't like to buy the goods of
the rich in a store where the
goods of the poor are kept.
But there are others who like to
see all sorts side by side, COM
pare store with store, and have
as much money left over as they
can. If they meet poor woman
at the counter, they know very
well that her. trade helps to sus-
tain the store; and that the two
sorts oftrade cooperate to make
it generous and helpful.
We meant to speak of certain
black goods, especially of the
silk-warp Henriettas, new a
month ago, since then gone, and
now new again. We said of
them that the finest were finer
than we had ever got hold of
before; and that all the grades
were finer for the money than
any before. We say the same
again; and are confirmed blythe
growth of a discriminating trade.

Some say that French-printed

Scarcely. The patterns-indeed
the characters of the patterns
have become so many, that no.

in mystery, beyond any other
color effects. except, perhaps,
warp-printed silks, mentioned
recently.

Carpets and mattings vary
enough to make it worth your
while to study them in several
stores before buying. There's
a good deal in making, and
something in putting down.
Some take moreca care than others.
Some bear more responsibility.

actuated the company TO build the road.
Not only has no such line been projected,

Washington gossips state that there is
good authority for stating that the white
house will have a mistress next winter
that President Arthur is undoubtedly en-
gagged and that the marriage will take
place early in the fall. The name of the
lady is at present a state secret. The en-
gagement was made last spring, and the
lady has this summer at different water
ing places been the recipient of the
choicest flowers from the white house con-
servatory.
General ]. w. Denver, formerly terrific
rial governor of Kansas, and the pioneer
after whom the city of Denver, Col, was
named, is now revisiting his namesake,
which has grown away beyond his recol-
lection. AS is the case in so many other
instances, General Denver never realized
any pecuniary benefit from being the pat
riarch of the thriving young metropolis,
and is now living quietly in Wilmington,
Ohio.
The London Pail Nall Gazette SAYS:
''Mr Moody, the American evangelist, has
closed his visit to Scotland. In his last
address, which was delivered at Dumfries,
he intimated that this WOULD be his last
visit to Scotland. He now proceeds to the
continent, and after spending some time
there, will pay a heightened visit to Eng
land. On the completion of his English
programme, he will return to America,
where he intends to remain the rest of his
life. On this occasion his vcsit to Scotland
has extended over nine months.
Congressman Oscar Turner, of Ken
lucky Democrat), never asks a nomina-
ton from convention, but SIMPLY an
nounces himself candidate and is sure
of an election. He has been chosen five
times to congress, and proposes to run
again, and feels confident of succeeding,
although there will be a Republican and
an independent Democratic candidate OPP
posed to him.
There is much speculation in Washing
ton as to who will be the successor of sec
rotary Folger in case the latter is elected
governor in New York. There is reason
to believe that the successor of secretary
Folger will be representative Crowley, of
western New York, who is stalwart a
friend of Arthur, and has good acquaInt-
ance with the New York machine.

first breaths of the air of their new home.
The arrival of the children had been waited
with interest by the people of the neigh
borhood They received an ovation from
the dwellers in the court which rendered
/ them speeches. when questioned as TO
their advantages on the long journey of
over 5000 miles by land and sea. Their
mother had expected them to arrive at
Ninth and Green streets depot. but for
some reason the little ones were taken to
West Philadelphia, where they arrived at
o'clock yesterday morning. Later in the
day policeman brought the news to Nc
Donald court, and Mrs Grindly FASTENED
to claim the children she had not seen tor
three years.
In the meantime the tidings spread
through the court, and the people gath
cred in groups and talked over the great
event in all its bearings. When the chill
dren made their appearance, which they
did about noon, the court was crowded
and No. was in Il state of siege. Men
and women and boys and girls were there
in numbers, and welcomed the infant inn
migrants raptllrously. George. who is
eight years old, is sturdy Young Briton,
and eyed his surroundings uneoncernedly.
He was attired in a neat corduroy suit, to
which was attached the tag bearing the
address of his mother by means of Which
directions he and his six-year-old sister
has been shipped from point to point on
the journey. Their mother came to this
country three years ago. Her husband
had been killed in a coal mine two years
before, leaving her the burden of five chill
dren to support. She brought her eldest
child, a girl of fifteen, with her, and was
afterward joined by another daughter.
The three worked industriously, and by
dint of close economy managed to make
enough money to send for two of the re-
naming children. A few weeks ago Mrs.
Grindly sent $57 to the agent of the
steamship company, $15 of which
was to pny for their transportation to Liv
erpool, and the balance to go to the steam
ship company for their passage to this city.
They received the greatest attention on
board the steamship, and upon their ar
rival at Castle Garden created no little in

promptly transferred them them to the cars

Our friend, J. w. Potter, the well known
editor and proprietor of the Freeport But-

and AReUs, the old and well known demo
cratic paper of Rock Island. 1t is to be
hoped the democracy of Rock Island
county will extent liberal encouragement
to Mr.. Potter and the ARGUS There are
some counties in Illinois that don't deserve
a democratic newspaper democrats
are close listed and niggardly in patroniz-
ing their own party newspapers-and it
would be God-send if such Democrats
were compelled to read for half a lifetime
the meanest republican papers in the land.
If the Rock Island democracy desire good
newspaper they should stand by Potter
and the ARGUS. One or two more failures
of democratic newspapers in Rock Island
and no worthy and competent democratic
editor win feel like venturing up that way.
