The Theory

Of Oak Hall is that all men and
boys can be clothed here. We have
splendid stock Of piece goods for
custom orders, fine clothing ready
made, and everything down to the
working pantaloons for laboring
men. or the Rough and Tumble
Suit for the errand boy. The prac-
ticc proves the theory. Many most
stylish men, many richly dressed
boys who affect custom clothing,
IRE clothed in the products of
Oak Hall, and many more of
the busy workers that make our
city what it is.

A woMAN's EXPERIENCE.

Mrs. William Downes, OF Uxbridge, Mass, writes
on March 10, 1888, as follows:-
During the past three years ! have been a great
sufferer from a complication Of diseases which bafied
the skill Of the most experienced doctors, as l could
not obtain permanent relief by their treatment and
prescriptions; and | have also tried many so-called
cures In the medicine line, but could get no relief.
The pains, aches, and weakness increased 30 rapidly
and constantly that l was 10 reduced in strength as
to be unable to leave the bed, and the doctors in,
formed ne that there was no hope for recovery. In
this exhausted and discouraged condition q dear
friend persuaded me to use Hunts Remedy, and after
taking 1t only three days ] commenced to get better
and to my great Joy and delight have continued to
improve constantly by its use, until now, after having
taken the remedy only a few weeks, I am able to be
about my house again, and am now doing my house
work. Ny lame back Is cured, the severe pains have
disappeared, and I am now In better health than fol
many years, and beg this privilege OF gladly recon
mending Hunts remedy to all who are affected with
any disease Of the kidneys or liver; and I also highly
1t for the attacks Of sick headache. Ny
husband has also experienced a very great benefit tc
his health by the use OF the most valuable medicine,
Hunts Remedy.

a crowded car. OF course we couldn't

"No; the gentlemen of the pig-tail are

CHARLEY WEIR AT THE KEY.
An Operator Whose Powers Aston
ished n Small Country once.

at was at the close of the war, 1864, "
writes a correspondent in the Titusville,
Pa, World, that a party of us, consist
ing of thirteen tramp operators, resolved
to take i'll the different cities, and who
ever could not get work was TO be board
ed by the rest, Well, we had in our
party Charley Weir, now superintendent
of the Adams Express Company at Gin
%cinnati, Ohio, considered to be the most
perfect operator in the business, owing to
his great memery. He could store fifty
words in his memory, and write it out at
his leisure word for word. Well, we ar
rived in Buffalo, and not a man had the
price of a beer. Our only salvation was
in striking some friendly operators.
Charley made a motion that he should
lead the attack and the balance hold up
the rear. 1t appears the Buffalo office
had a great reputation for catching all the
operators applying for work by putting
them down to taking newspaper reports,
which is very fast work. And Charley,
pulling his hat over his eyes and STUN
bling over a chair with an intoxicated
smile, says: 'Hic, l want a job The
manager winking to one of the chiefs as
a signal for him to inform New York
sending reports to slide it in, turns and
says:
well, can you copy reportF'
II recon l can-hic, says Charley, and
the manager ushered him over to the re-
port table. Charley took the chair, and
closing the key, he informed New York
operator to proceed. The manage got

ness the sport. He then found Charley
looking for a pencil and New York send
ing at lightning speed. The boys all be-
gan to laugh, and reaching over stopped
New York sending, whereupon Charley
again closed the key and told him to pro-
coed where he left off, and, snatching a
stub of a pencil from one of the opera
tors, he flew across the sheet with light
ming speed, and in less han two minutes
had caught up on his copy, although
sixty words had been sent. Well, you
just ought to lave seen those fellows look
at him. New York man increased his
speed until he was tired out, and then
stopped to ask if Charley was getting on
at all. Charley asked him if he couldn't
send faster. The manager says:
oay, olu IelloW, VINO are you, any
how2"
why, my name is Charley Weir"
They had, of course, all heard of Char
ley, and a more ashamed crowd yon
never saw. They acknowledged the joke,
and the manager says:
"Mr. Weir, just wait a few moments
and we will go and take something"
"Oh, thanks" said Charley, ''but
have a friend or two outside"
ASK them in, to be sure" says the
manager.
Walking to the door Charley gave a
whistle, and in walked twelve American
travellers.

dropped the trumpet. "That interview

Mason Warehouse Burned.

The Mason warehouse, where the
steamers City of Cleveland and Mack
mac land their freight, caught on fire
about four o'clock this morning. The
hose companies and fire tug Ralph
were on hand promptly and soon got
the fire under control. The upper
part of the main building was destroy
ed. About 90 tons of hay and sever
al thousand bushels grain, belonging
to the Mason Lumber Co., was de-
stroyed, and a quantity of miscella-
neous freight in the lower story was
damaged more or less by water. The
large amount of miscellaneous freight
in the adjoining warehouse shed,
was uninjured by fire. The loss will
be between $1,000 and $4,000. The
hose companies have two streams of
water on the smouldering ruins as we
go to press.
