The New York Novelty Store

There comes a time in the history of
every city when special lines of business
must furnish special inducemenfs to buy
ers, and with this idea the proprietors of
the New York Novelty store since their
business first began, have kept in view
the immediate necessities of the trade.
The result Is a rapidly increasing busi
ness and an extension of trade that fully
justifies the expectations of its projectors.
The New York Novelty store keeps In
stock a large assortment of novelties,
such as please the eve and suit the
pocket. It is astonishing. the variety dis
played; IN the one line of musical instru-
ments may be found an infinite collection
of the smaller styles suitable to the tastes
of the Juvenile or adult; IN the matter Of
books and stationery is also noticeable the
selection from which one can choose, and
az for toys, il would be strange indeed to
find child that could not st once suit
himself and his parents purse.
Nor are other wants forgotten; smokers
articles in the greatest variety, playing
cards, all manner of periodicals., includ-
ing the leading publications of the day,
are supplied in profusion, and should any
book or paper not appearing on the
shelves be called for, il will be readily
supplied. Two stores are in operation,
the one occupying the old stand on Main
street, and devoted mostly to newspa-
pers. tobacco, cigars, cutlery, etc., etc,
while in the commodious quarters afford
ed by the old /. Y. l.. on the opposite side
of the street, Is one of the, most COM
plete stocks of imported novelties ever
brought to this city.

The lack of unanimity among the
clocks and watches of Astoria has long
been the subject of painful knowledge to
many worthy citizens whose respective
chronometers fail TO agree in indicating
the current hour. To find two watches
anywhere within three minutes of each
other is very rare and the keeping of ap-
pointments is rendered uncertain there
by. A new element has now entered in
to the calculation which NAV mend mat
ters as far as we of Astoria are concern
ed. The railroads of the country have
adopted new STANDARD of time, the ope-
ration of which affects the local time
very differently. According to the new
system which has recently gone into use,
il is three minutes and tifty-eight seconds
past twelve at New York city by the old
standard when the clocks strike twelve.
Farther --'st the time changes less and
less from the old standard until the me-
ridians of this coast are reached, when
the change is the other way, and railroad
time is faster than the old time used TO
be, until by the time one gets to the
longitude of The AsToRIAN Office he
would indif his watch were marking rail-
road time that he would be nine minutes
and ffty-two seconds faster than what
might be considered standard time in the
same locality. Municipality after muni-
cipalty has officially recognized ''the new
time," and although Astoria is not what
might be styled a railroad city, vet due
regard for the eternal fitness of things
will impel us to keep up with the process
sion by pushing the hands of our respect
i've clocks and watches about ten min
utes ahead.
The clocks of a continent are being
changed to correspond to the new time
and sixty millions of people are eating
their meals, and going 10 work and gut
ting by different system of time than
they were short time ago. The princi-
pie arrived at is uniformity. When the
clock at the Western Union Telegraph
Office at New York is striking II, the
clock in the Chicago Office is striking IL,
in the Denver Office the clock strikes 10,
in the San Francisco Office the clock
strikes g. The matter has been under
discussion among railroad men for sever
al years, and IL was finally decided to
make the seventy-fifth meridian Of west
longitude from Greenwich the base of
the new system. III the result to us of
Astoria shall be to give set standard OF
time TO which all tickers shall acknowl-
edge SWAY. then those eastern railroad
men will have contributed something OF
good to our civilization, and aided all IN
the observance of that punctuahty winch
is said 10 be 1.-The politeness of kings.

Carl Adler's Crystal Palace.

Among the many fine stores that our
is more attractive in outward
display, or more perfect in all its ap-
pointments, than the recently opened
establishment of Carl Adler in Kinney's
brick building. Sometime ago the enter
prising proprietor came to the conclusion
that the time had come when il was no
longer necessary for an Astorian to send
money elsewhere in the purchase of fine
goods, and accordingly having leased his
present spacious premises he proceeded to-
fill it with magnificent stock of goods,
that by their freshness, actual value, and
compared with former prices) low-sell-
ing price, that any resident of the city or
vicinity In need of books, music, musical
instruments, clocks, watches, biiouterie,
tine stationery, etc, is sure to be
satisfied as TO price and quality.
The main point to which the attention
of our readers is directed is this. The
large stock of varied goods is of suffi-
cient size 10 insure you're being suited.
When there Is so much to choose from
dozen different styles of the very srti-
Gle you want, IL is plain that the former
objection that the the stock didn't
have enough variety, no longer exists.
Mr.. Adler's aim is to meet an existing
demand, to supply the popular taste, and
to show that a store which compares fav-
orably with the finest in Portland, can
be successfully carried Oh In Astoria.
His stock is complete, and whether it be
sheet of note paper, or grand piano. a
toothpick or a set of silverware, a blank
book or a superb edition of fayorite
poet, the customer may be assured that
he has the same advantages both in selec-
tion and purchase that are possessed by
the residents of Portland or San Fran
cisco. Such a store as Mr.. Adler's is a
credit to our growing city, and is illus
trative of the progress of the commun-
ity. His daily display of novelties in ev.
ery line attracts numbers of visitors, and
to see Carl Adler's Crystal Palace should
be the object of all visitors to the city.

Bilf Pritehsrd's Wagon.

Spring Notes-BiIl Pritchard thinks
he'll have to get a new butcher wagon
this spring. We are glad that business is
SO good.-February q.
Business Jottings.-McKee x Purdy
Whose business card we print in another
column) have put in an estimate on Bill
Pritchard's new wagon.-April 6.
Personals-We hear that Bill Pritchard
has given the contract for his new butch
er wagon to KcKee d Purdy. He could
not have done better, and we are glad
there is no truth in the rumor that he
was going to Clarenceville to get the job
done.-April 16.
Jottings About Town.-The new wagon
for Bill Prtchard had the wheels tried
yesterday at the shop of Mckee d. Purdy,
on Main street. Jim Mckee, the senior
member of the firm, did the work, al
though Bob Purdy got the water neces-
sary to shrink the iron.-May z.
Casual Mention--Bill Pritchard's new
wagon received its first coat of paint yes
terdsy at Mckee d Purdy's shop. The
body color is dull gray.-May 81.
Editorial Notes.-We are always glad
to recognize and mention any attempt at
home manufactures. We have long held
the opinion, and We have freely expressed
it, both in these columns in our capacity
as journalist and in private among our
acquaintance, that Whangdoodle needs
manufactures to build her up. 1t will not
be until men of money outside the town
recognize our willingness to help our
selves that capital will come to take ad-
vantage of the unexampled facilities for
investment of which Whangdoodle is
full. 1t is, therefore, with peculiar pleas
ure that we call the attention of our read
ers to the fact that a butcher wagon for
Bill Pntchard (whO in our advertising
columns calls the attention of our readers
to his place of business) has been built
by Mckee d Purdy, the popular black
smiths on Main street, whose card We
publish in another place. Wesre glad to
know that the business of one of our ad-
vertisers has grown to such a point that
he requires new wagon, and We are
proud of the fact that Whangdoodle
could supply firm in the person of an
other advertiser to build it.-June g.

HAD CLEANED EN- OUT.-They're tell
ing q story in the upper country on one
of the old Linn county pioneers who
went East as one of the excursionists TO
visit the scenes of his boyhood days,
which he had not seen or heard from
since be left, over 30 years ago. The
''old home" to be visited was in Pike
county, Missouri, and the pioneer hero is
an old unreeonstructed Democrat. On
arriving at the station of his old home
the pioneer asked of some bystanders
who was the Oldest inhabitant of the
town. Directions were given him where
he could find hardware dealer who had
been resident of the village for many
years. The pioneer after short search,
found his man and commenced as fol-
lows. my name is =; / am an old
pioneer of Oregon, having shaken the
dust from this town about 30 wears ago,
and have not heard from any relatives
since then. Do you know any people
around here by the name of - After
hesitating awhile, as if ruminating in
the dark recesses of the almost forgotten
past, the hardware merchant looked up
and slowly replied: "Yes, we Yankees
killed the whole d-n tribe during the
war" The old pioneer bade a hasty
saieu, took the next train bound west
and reached Oregon fully prepared to
stay there the balance OF his days.

LIGHTING GAS WITH THE FINGER
Lighting gas with the finger is feat any
body may perform. Let a person, in his
slippers, walk briskly over a wooden car
pet, scufiing his feet thereon, or stand
upon a chair, with its legs upon four
tumblers to insulate it, and there be
rubbed up and down on the body a few
times with a muff by a second individual,
and he will light his gas by simply plac-
ing his finger to the tube. It is only nee
sssary TO take the precaution not TO
touch anything or be touched by anybody
during the trial of the experiment. The
shock of electricity required by the pro-
cess we have described is discharged by
contact with another object. One person
must turn on the gas while the other
fires IL.
