IN the pressure incident to supplying the
wants Of so many customers. together with
the difficulties naturally arising in starting up
a new business, it Is very likely that causes of
complaint may be given, or other wants arise
and not receive that prompt attention which
it will be the policy Of this company to pur-
sue. If any such cases exist, they will confer
a special favor by reporting promptly to the
Office Of the company, and not to employees.
No matter what may be the nature of the
complaint, it shall receive investigation at
the earliest possible moment. We only ask
such indulgence as circumstances now war
rant us in requesting, with the assurance that
in a short time there shall be no delay in Civ
ing prompt attention to all reasonable de-
mands upon our time or services.

Sufferers.
The readers Of the MORNING News
have no doubt read the accounts Of the
great failures of Messrs. Hatch & FOOte,
Nelson Robinson & Co., DOnnen, Lawson
& Simpson, and a great many others
which created great excitement. The ex-
element was great but nothing to COM
pare with the excitement and rush at our
establishment for the past few weeks for
our nObby styles Of Spring and Summer
suits. which we are selling so cheap.
Thousands of dollars have been lost by not
coming to US to buy Clothing, Hats and
Gents Furnishing Goods. 1t stands to
reason those who continually pay high
prices for goods will some day become
panic-stricken and cry for help. There
is help for the sufferers Of heat by coming
to US for their light weight garments,
such as Seersucker Suits, Linen Suits and
Duck Suits; also, Ventilated Hats, etc.

He Knew the Antidote.

s'Fedora," as played by Miss Fan
ny Davenport, is a very thrilling
play, and perhaps the most exciting
part of it is where Fedora poisons
herself. A physician of Norwalk,
Conn.,, who had not attended a the
atrical performance for some time,
went to see the play a few nights
since, and when the part came,
where she, having poisoned herself,
is dying, and her lover and friends
are wringing their hands and crying
helplessly what could be done, the
doctor was seen to be laboring under
considerable excitement.
AT last the terrible scene was too
much for him, and forgetting where
he was he jumped to his feet and
shouted
give her coffee, you - fools !
give her coffeeln Then a friendly
hand pulled him back into his seat,
while the surprised actors went on
with the play.

creep,
Rock me to sleep, mother, rock me to
sleep.
Come, let your brown hair, just lighted
with gold,
Fall on your shoulders again as of old,
Let it fall o. or my forehead tonight.
Shading my faint eyes away from the
light
For with its sunny. edged shadows
once more,
Happily will throDg the sweet visions
Of yore,
Lovingly, softly, its bright pillows
sweep,
Rock me to sleep, mother--rock me to
sleep.
Mother, dear mother, the years h ave
been loI &
Sit &c l last hushed to your lullaby
song
Sing, then, and unto my soul it shall
seem
Womanhood's years have been but q
dream,
Clasp to your arms in q loving en-
brace,
With your light lashes just sweeping
my face.
Never hereafter to wake or to weep,
Rock me to sleep. mother--rock me to
sleep.
