to visit the store, and make
free use of its convenicnces
leaving their luggage under
check at any Of the doors, or
in the Luggage Room in the

fort.
Really we meant to have
this important department in
full operation before every
body got back from sea and
mountain. 1t is made for
strangers; and they seem
to enjoy it. SO far as it has
got. 1t consists of a free
Reading Room for gentle
men, a free Resting Room

ties in both, closets, and other
little conveniences; a soda
and mineral water fountain
that isn't free; and a lunch
room to be added.
We make the great public
welcome there, beyond the
wont of any other house, SO
far as we know. We think
it will pay us to look after
Public Comfort a little, as
a means OF advertising.

LETTER FROM PHILADELPHIA.
Activity in Busliess-Phipps aud his Trina
The Autumn Eruit--A Word About
Weddings.


PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 2ist, 1882.
Cooler weather and the return of most
of the business men 20 the city, produce
increased activity in every department Of
trade, both wholesale and retail. One of
the most gratifying indication of general
prosperity is the fact that most people
have plenty CT money to spend. While
purchases are not made with that prodi-
gality that characterized the flush times
of the war, yet there seems to be an
abundance of funds for everything that is
really needed and for great many lux
uries besides. More than this, there is
more refined taste exhibited in purchases
than there was in war times. Then
people, especially those who had suddenly
acquired money, sought snowy and gaudy
things, rather than those which were
neat, graceful and elegant. The reverse
is the case now. Our people have had
valuable lessons in the beautiful, and in
everything pertaining to the arts of re-
finement.
The Autumnal fruits now enriching
our markets are more than usually abund-
ant and luscious. Peaches are not yet
still here, even if not in great quantities.
The ladies who prefer to do their own
preserving, rather than to run the risks
on canned fruits, are now busy on peaches
and plums, the latter of which are not
only abundant, but remarkably excellent.
Grapes are beginning to come in plen-
teously from the customary sources of
supply. AS for pears, Duchess, Bartlett
and other varieties, it makes the mouth
water to think of them.
THE FUGITIVE PHfPPs.
Phipps, late of the Almshouse, who
robbed paupers, fed his friends on Aims
house supplies and stole the Almshouse
roof has at last come to grief in Canada.
He was great fool not to fly further, as
long as he was going to fly at all. Now
that he will have to come back, there is
trembling among some Of his former
friends and companions in iniquity.
GOING TO BE MARRIED.
Thousands of weddings are to come off
this Fall, and for many of them the pre-
parations are now being made. Wedding
preparations and festivities are of every
grade as regards magnitude and expense,
both in the outfit and the presents. Now
a-days everybody who is married must
have wedding presents, be they few or
many. But neat outfit of engraved
wedding invitations is no less essential.
In selecting the style and fashion of these
it is important to mako no mistake. The
best way to do is to send to Bailey, Banks
& Bidd!e for an estimate for all that is
needed. This will be found to give lower
figures than the work can well be done
elsewhere, Samples are freely sent out,
and every means taken to ensure the most
perfect satisfaction. The fine stationery
sent out by this house really comes under
the head of art work The menu cards
and other fancies for which special de-
signers are constantly kept busy, are
gems in their way. RALPH.

Everybody's Husband

AND
EvERYBODYS SON
will be glad to know that
at last Trenton has a Rea-
dy Made Clothing Estab-
lishment, conducted as,
and comparing favorably
with the most famous
houses of the larger cities,
and we will tell you how
II came about.
For nearly twenty years,
Richard A. Donnelly has
been located in the Taylor
Opera House, doing athriv-
ing business in Mems Fur
nishing Goods, and from
time to time has noticed a
large portion of the peo-
pie going to Phila. to buy
their clothing, because they
could not see a larger and
varied stock nearer by,
and that if they were pleas
ed IN a garment, the price
would be much higher than
they knew similar goods
could be sold for.
Long ago would he have
extended his business and
given Trenton what he
has now given it, but no
suitable store could be
found.
But when the old store
adjoining his place of bust
ness was pulled down, and
new ones built in their
stead, he saw that the time
had arrived, and i'm
mediately leased the new
one nearest him.
Into it his extensive
Mems Furnishing Goods
business was transferred,
and soon his old quarters,
the handsomest store in the
city was being stocked
with everything that was
desirable in clothing
The spacious room 35xS5
feet is filled with cloth
ing, from the lowest priced
to the finest hroadclnth,
every style of goods is
there, and each of the four
Departments is complete.
There are the Mems,
Youths, Boys and Small
Children's Departments,
and the assortment in each
and the low prices will
surprise you.
Come near forgetting to
tell you about the Over
coats, they are--but you
must see them to appreci-
ate them.
His old and well-known
manner of conducting bust
ness will be followed, and
of course everything will
be marked in plain figures,
and one price, and that a
low one will prevail.
In starting a new bust
ness on such an extensive
scale, it was necessary to
associate with him some
one who was thoroughly
posted ON its ms and
Outs" and his new part
ner is a gentleman from
New York who has been
connected with one of the
largest of the Broadway
Clothing Houses for a
long time. Mr.. Reineman
is his name.
We thank you for hav-
ing read all this, and ex-
tend a cordial invitation
to have you call and see us
when you are in Trenton.

A RARE FLowER.--The Bordent0aon
Register says "About the middle Of
last week, large posters around town in
formed the public that Mr.. Sturtevant
would give his garden concert on Saturday
evening, at which time the Victoria Re-
gia, queen of water lilies in reality as well
as in name, would be in bloom. The
weather was all that could be desired,
clear and warm. The garden was beauti-
fully illuminated with Chinese lanterns,
kerosene lamps, head lights and gasoline
and looked like fairy land. The ponds
were filled with lilies, mostly of the red
variety but the Victoria Regia, which
with its leaves filled the greater part of
one pond, was the great attraction. The
enormous leaves covered q large surface
and the flowers were shown in both stages
of its bloom, the bud that had just opened
being pure white and emitting delicious
perfume somewhat resembling the odor
of pineapples, while the other was fully
open, of deep pink hue and odorless.
The leaves were perfectly round, some
over six feet in diameter and were turned
up around the edges like the sides of
Japanese tray. The under side of the
leaf is marvel of vegetation. The color
of this side is reddsh-brown, the veins are
large and heavy and are connected cross
wise by innumerable bands of fleshy
texture of the same color, making it re-
semble a waffle-iron in formation. Some
say that these leaves, In their wild state,
grow from 10 to 20 feet in diameter, and
that the natives of South America walk
on them without sinking.
Mr.. Sturtevant obtained the seeds of
this wonderful plant from Europe, and its
remarkable size has been attained in a
growth of only four months. 1t is still
blooming, new buds opening every few
days. On Saturday evening parties were
here from New Brunswick, Railway and
Philadelphia, and on last Tuesday another
party came up from the latter city to see
the great curiosity. Over four hundred
persons attended the concert, at which
the Bordentown Band performed several
fine selections in very satisfactory mar.
ner. Altogether the affair was great
success, aud we congratulate Mr.. Sturte-
want on the result of his labors and the
appreciation which an intelligent public
have displayed by attending the concert
in such large numbers.
