that "as the days begin to lengthen

literally true this winter. The coolest

a markcd ClldIlSc Has ColllC
over our shoc-tradc in the
year just passed and, though
some of the aspects OF the
change are obvious to every
frcqucntcr OF the store, 9th
crs may be spoken of with
advantage to you as well as
to us.
\ year ago this trade was
more than twice, probably
thrice, as large as any other
within our knowledge, and
we doubt not thrice as large
as any other in the world.
1t had been built up from the
beginning to this enormous
magnitude, under the capable
management Of one man,
who brought signal abilities
to his work ; and from the
beginning, it bore the marks
of his peculiar genius.
His policy consisted OF
two distinct branches, direct
ed to the gathering of the
two extremes of trade, rcgu-
lar and transient. llabltual
buyers at a proper store, he
knew very well, become in
telligcnt buyers, and are best
served with the same shoes
year after year, when 'oncc
they have found out what
best suits their use and
means. SO he kept a steady
supply Of what he regarded
as the best work OF all de
.grccs Of iIncncss and soil
ditv. Being an excellent
Judge Of leather and shoe
making, he made himself and
the store distinguished for
the gcnuIncncss, trucncss and
fulncss of his stock.
Transient buyers, those
who buy anywhere, especial
" where money seems to 60
further than it can 60 in the
regular way of trade, he pro-
vidcd for with splendid sue
cess. Saturday is a favorItc
.buyin&-day of such. Rarely
did a Saturday pass with him,
without selling shoes of some
sortathalf their value. Some
times the value was small
but the price was half OF
that, This he accomplished
by buying in the stocks of
bankrupt dealers and other
waits Of the trade, and sell
ing them for about cost in
Guiding advertising. This is
dangerous business; but he
was SO good a judge Of his
goods and had 50 sure an
eye to results, that he rarely
failed to satisfy the most cN-
acting bargain-huntcr, or to
clear out Saturdays job with
out loss. These two sorts OF
trade went on together for
five years, with eminent sat
islaction to all concerned.
Aycarago fortune brought
a change Of managers. The
new man believed that the
regular trade was the better
Of the two sorts, better for
the store and better for the
people; that most people
should be taught what was
best for them ; that others
might be let 90 elsewhere, if
they would that, on the
whole, the quictcr, stcadicr,
easier way was more suitable
to a great business,

will also be added to long coats; these
are not the round coachman capes. but
are high-shouldered paletots that are

WASHINGTON NOTES.

ANOTHER case of alleged attempted
swindling of pension claimants was brought
TO light the other day in Washington, by
the arrest of Gould p. Austin, discharged
clerk of the Pension Office, upon the charge
of writing to applicants for pensions, rep.
resenting himself as still connected with
the Department and able to secure favor
able action on their claims.
During the last fiscal year 81 900 applica-
tions for pensions were disposed of by the
Pension Bureau. Commissioner Dudley
said the office handled every case brought
before it. All applications were passed,
rejected or additional evidence required,
SO no case was left untouched.
THE Surgeon General of the marine hos
pital service received a report from DIR.
Finney in charge of the Ship Island quar-
sntine station which showed that there
were twelve vessels in quarantine there
from which nineteen cases of yellow fever
were taken. All the cases were brought
from Vera Cruz
THE appearance of a circular in the De-
partments at Washington from Chairman
Cooper, of Pennsylvania, asking for 'vol-
untary contributions" for campaign pur-
poses, created quite a stir among the
clerks. 1t was popularity supposed that
civil service reform would have the effect to
sweep the assessment circular out of exist
ence, if it didn't do anything else, and the
appearance of this circular was the subject
Of much unfavorable comment.
A CABLE dispatch to the Navy Depart
ment from Admiral Crosby, commanding
the Asiatic Station stated that Lieutenant
Noyes, of the Navy, was killed at Yoko-

ant Noyes was native of Maine, and was
appointed to the navy from Virginia in
1864. He was regarded as one of the best
officers in the service.
A STATEMENT of collections made by the
Internal Revenue Bureau for the first
month of the fiscal years 1882 and 1883

by reduction of fifty per cent of the tax
on manufactured tobacco and the abolition
of the tax on bank checks, drafts and other
commercial paper.

Gently cabled instructions to the command
ing officers of the Juniata and Enterprise,

10 the Strait of Sunda, to examine into the

the effects of the recent earthquakes on the

The people Of Chicago evidently take an inter-
est in baseball. The following account is given
of a game that took place in that city May 5th
"Six thousand people witnessed the formal
opening game of the League series in this city
to-day on the grounds of the Chicago Baseball
Club. The Detroits won the game in the ninth
inning, with one run to spare. The grounds
partake of the character of an amphitheatre,
being completely housed in. The grounds are so
arranged that no one save tie players can appear
upon any portion of them. Above the grand
stand proper is a row of boxes for the use of the
press and those attending in parties. The grand
stand and all other portions of the inclosing
woodwork have been richly decorated, so that
the view from any point is pleasing to the eye.
The game was sharply contested till toward the
close. and after the third man should have been
out by fly to the left field dropped by Dalrymple
q single and double following gave victory to the
visitors. The score was Chicagos, l in the
second and fourth innings, total 2 Detroits, 1
