tenLlon is demanded as "a matter of pro.
lection against foreign competition.
The rich manufacturers, having frozen
Gut the small Concerns, have banded
together IN one company, employing

These gentleman maintain that the
customs duty OF 50 per cent. only COM

have TO open all large packages aud
put on each retail package a revenue

stop Importation. They therefore de-
mand tue retention OF a tax OF some 100
per cent. to keep them from being

Miss Sallie johnson of Frankfort is a
noted beauty. A mutual friend de-
sired to bring them together in mar

a chance to WOO successfully in spi e
of his physical disadvantages, arranged
a correspondence between them before
they met. Lewis made by his letters

when the young lady at last saw him,
she was ready to overlook his unpleas-

This engagement he broke, she sued

upon the ugliness Of his own client aud

TO NJ ROCKS.
BY JOHN n. CARTER,

IT'S not around the festive board,
! Where brilliant reveIry attends,
To pledge In superficial word
And bated breath, meet my friends
A tiny room above the stair,
| Which out upon the city looks,
| l nightly come and greet them there,
My noble, trusty friends-my books.
We plodded on our weary way;
Known fortunes smiles and fortune
frOwns;
Cropped in darkness, basked In day;
In brief, we've had cur ups and downs.
Yet with purpOse fixed as late
You pointed to the higher goal,
Whence strive the gifted and the great,
The noble and the pure OF soul.
You lured me frs. to virtues side
BY visions Of the pure ideal,
And taught me by wisdom wide,
That things unseen are tru y real,
FOR all that Ian may know or tel
Is transit0ry as the day;
The friends on whom we set our seal
Drop one by one and pass away.
We've scared together starry heights
Explored the mysteries of space
Traced, trough many sleepless nights
The singing there's in endless chase,
We've popped Into the opaque earth;
Gone out into the t'Hckl $. sea;
StrUlied through the brilliant halls of mirth,
Ard wspt midst scenes of misery.
Through endless labyrinths Of thought
You've cd me with a loving hand
And many are the gems I've brought
From out thy strange mysterious land,
How apt scholar have en-
If love and service be the auyiug-
For all may not the laure wiz
The nonor's in the war we're waging.
But time is heeting. We have known
Full half the span the prophet t)ld !,
And comrades, l am free to own
For II Is true, we're growing old"
Some night the lamp will not be lit,
And empty be the easy chair,
A Nc he who used to bide in it
BE gone. Hh who can answer where?

made in this city has just been finished
for prominent business man in this
city, by Joshua Conner, 223 Market

same pattern, for another prominent

The Acknowledged
LEADERS OF STYLES

The arrival of Spring is heralded at
the commencement Of spring trade. But
people do rot order their clothing by
the calendar and you are not likely to
lay aside your heavy garments at the
summons of the expectaut clother.
We shall keep our heavy clothing ac-
cessible and at prices that will induce
you to buy even if you have to protect
it from the moth during the summer,
while our spring goods are here and
ready for the customer, and if our ad.
vice is worth anything you will change
gradually, beginning with a spring
overcoat. The advantage of dealing
with us is the ability to always find
goods of all weight and kinds. We
want everybody to know we are better
prepared to supply their wants this sea
son than ever before. We will exhibit
some of the advanced styles for spring
in our windows this week. These goods
manufactured expressly for us, and not
to be duplicated elsewhere, are now in
stock, and the many more patterns can
only be seen by visiting the WHINING
TON CLOTHING HOUSE and Merchant
Tailoring Establishment, n. w. corner
