Iht secret OF our SUCCESS i'll hIislltSe
is easily explained in these words:
We eau afford to work cheap. y
Whyo Because our rent is low, pay
cash for our goods and get all the dis
count allowed, besides we are pape,
hangers ourselves, with 20 years rN-
pcrirnce at the work. Therefore, when
we talk about paper hanging, We do
not "Bawl" about something tuat we
know nothing about. Our workInen
are all genuine paper hangers, not Il
"Greenman" among them. Now, if We
were to say that we were acquainted
with old Mrs. Shipton (and her som, ),
it would be u "Gool y-e," and could
not ask you to believe it. But our Gus
toners know that we make our paper
hold its "Holt, even if we have 10
" Rosin" it well. We are selling gold
papers as low a~ 81 cents, and on up I"

Wilmington, Drive to Philadel-
phia and Have . Glorious
Time.
At an early hour on Sunday morning
well-knOwn gentleman from Edge
moor, in company with man from
one of Wilmington's industrial estab-
lishments, went to livery stable here
and hired team for the day. The men
were well known and no security was
taken, but when they failed to come
back and were still missing up to
noon yesterday, the owner of the team
began to grow anxious about the SAFETY
of the men and team and, started on
still hunt for them.
In the meantime the two men, hay
ing made up their minds to have goo d
time, drove to Philadelphia, imbibeI
pretty freely of the "oh, be joyfnl,
and towards night started for home,
lost their way, and wandered around
the country until Monday morning,
when they brought up at a station
south of Philadelphia in rather a di-
lapidated condition. Thanking that
their friends would be anxious, they
sent a telegram to this effect "Wo
are having n h-l-of-a-time, -----ilas
his arm in a sling, and WE are all br0ns
up" This telegram was duplicated
and sent toElgemoor and Wilmington
and had u tendency to make their
friends even more anxious.
After sending the telegram the men
drove on towards home and were met
at Ridley Park by the owner of the
team, and from their appearance they
certainly had been having nigh oId
time. The sight they presented was
very ludcous. The horS" was decorated
on each side of the head with ladies'
striped stockings, the whip WAS in thh
bottom of the wagon, an old broom WAS
sticking in the whip pipe, one man ha't
his arm in Il sling, and the parry !ookei
demoralizcd Beyond ;.hrok"n sha't,
the team was all right and upon arriving
in Wilmington II satisfactory settlement
was made with the livery main, and the
trip came to an end.

To the Editor Of The EUenin0 Critic:
The statement published by you on Thurs
day concerning my connection with the funds
of the Union Veteran Corps and Rawlins' Post,
G. A. r., is n very erroneous statement, too
full of errors to be contradicted at this time
and In this manner wish simply to state
that have been quartermaster Rawlins Post,
G. A. r., only In name, since May p last, and
have had no connection OF any kind with the
post since October ~, 1882. At that time
/ was responsible to tho post for $146.51.
whatever other funds of the sost were In
hand were not held by mo but by others.
on December %, finding II impossible to
straighten out with others who held post funds
made statement of my responsibility and
sent settlement of $12S.16, leaving S1S.35
yet due the post by me. In the amount OF my
liability embraced the amount of money re-
allied by sale OF Haines' effects mentioned In
your article OF Thursday. SO far as my con-
nection with the U. V. Corps is concerned, they
will speak for themselves in q few days and
place me in my proper light as to my affairs
in that corps.
Concerning the bank checks which the Bank
OF Washington has thought proper to make
public, 1 Will state that the funds drawn by
those checks were almost as much your own
funds as they were Of Rawlins Post. g. A. II.
