Fruit of the Loom is not 1c yard in our store, as they say it is in some, but our en- tire line of cottons, especially the wide sheet ings will be found cheaper than they can bo bought for elsewhere. To sell one thing at loss and make it up on another is not onr way of doing business. J. N. ADAM G Co.
 We are selling everything cheap. some things at much less than cost price, but we are not bribing the people with the Fruit of the Loom Cotton at 1c a yard. The conse- quence is that throngs of people are all over our store and not only at one counter. The neople of New Haven are not to be caught with such evident chaf. J. N. ADAM & Go.
 Blankets have been cheaper this Winter than ever before, and it has been admitted on all hands that we have beaten all competi- tion to an extent not often possible in these days. We have sold more than double the quantity of blankets that we sold last Winter, and have almost closed out our very large stock. In fact we have been obliged to buy again lately certain makes. But we have number of odds and ends-a few pairs of this that and the other lot-and in order to help out these we have reduced the prices on them, notwithstanding the fact that no one in town was selling them even as low as our former prices. J. N. ADAM O Co.
 There is no humbug in J. N. Adam & Go. s closing-out sale. The reductions they adver- tise are genuine and such as they make every year at this season to close out their Winter
  to effect that purpose. Witness the state of their stock, which is well known to be al- ways the cleanest and freshest looking stock of dry goods in town.
 J. N. Adam S Go. have extraordinary value in 1O-4 bleached sheeting.
 Stampedilinens cheap in J. N. Adam < Co.'s.
 Last Fall after we had bought our 5Oc White Merino Shirts and Drawers we saw an- other lot not quite so good, but which had also been made to retail at 40c. We made an offer for the lot and got them SO that we could run them at 38c, which we did all Win ter But our soc article was such rattling good one that we did not sell as many of the 8Sc lot as we expected and we have resolved to ruah them of at 25c. We are losing money of course, bat we don't wish to carry any of the goods. J. N. ADAM S Co.
 J. N. Adam & Go. are closing out their en- tire line of Gentlemen's Scarfs at greatly re- duced prices.

A very queer strike has occurred in Pater- son, New Jersey. Acommittee was appoint ed to wait on the mill owners in behalf of the silk ribbon weavers. Most of the mill-own- CTS showed them that they were now paying their hands higher wages than those proposed in the new schedule, and, moreover, declar- ed that they preferred to talk the matter over with a committee of practical ribbon weavers, which none of the committee, curiously enough, were. A committee of Pelgram & Myers ribbon weavers asked Mir. Pelgram's ultimatum. He told them he was paying them higher wages than they now asked for, and wanted to know if they were going to strike for a reduction. They admitted the fact to be as he stated, but said they had no option but to submit to the dictRtion of their association, which had decided upon the new schedule. Mir. Pclgram said if they would go to work he would submit the question to the United Silk Ribbon Manufacturers of America, who would appoint a cemmittee, and he would abide by the decision of the joint committee; at present he was paying better wages than other mills, and he did not care to reduce them. The weavers shortly after withdrew in body, to the number of one hundred and twenty-five, saying they would consult together and let him know They then hired brass band and paraded the streets for the rest of the day. Mir. Telegram says he has four moRtbs stock on hand and it would be no hardship to him to shut down his mills for that length of time: but if the ribbon weaVers stay out they will deprive five hundred or six hundred other hands in his mills of work. The men have told him that not more than dozen of their number approve of the strike, but they are obliged to bow to the dictation of a mum Der of radical Socialists among the silk op- eratiYes.

Lords no less than 118 sarls that sit as such. This number does not include the Scotch and Irish ear1s, who Bit in the Lords as English viscounts or barons. Of them all Lord Granville, Lord Kimberly, Lord Cairns, Lord Carnavon, Lord Selborns and Lord Dufferin in any way beyond the narrow limits of the county in which their estates may He. Of the others, Lord Hardwicke is an impover- isbed spendthrift Lord Dunmore is an anna teur violinist, who passes his time when not making ocean journeys to and from America in search of profitable land speculation, in giving amateur smoking concerts, at which gain If he is noted for anything else nobody has heard it.
 Lord Shrewsbury, who is the premier Earl of England, has disgraeed his name and fame by his marriage with the notorious Mrs. Mundy, with whom, before divorce from her first husband. his conduct created much scandal. When not indulging in quiet orgies at his seat, Fugestre, he and his countess, who is old enough to be his mother, keep away from England on yachting tours. Lord Aylesford is too well known He is disgraced man and has found it beneficial to take up his residence in Texas. The Earl of Du ley is not only the richest earl, but, perhaps, the ugliest man in England. Strange to say, he is welded to one of the greatest beauties, whose heart and hand he won by his great wealth. He is devoted solely to bis interests and is noted for his diseustinsly sensual proclivities, to the indulgence of which he is given. Lord Rosebery, who iA paying San Francisco 8 visit, began his career by getting to the verge of bankruptcy on the turf, but recouped in time by mar riage with one of the RothschiIds, who (apart from her dowry and fortune) was not exactly the choice of any man who could afford to marry anyone else. Since his marriage Mir. Gladstone seems to have discovered merit in him, and he has been pushed ahead where other men of far more ability. though per haps less cunning, are kept in the back ground. He hardly looks clever man He has lately, it is said, further distinguished himself by abjuring the faith of his fathers and becoming an Israelite. It is quite prob ble he would turn back again if he saw any money in the transaction. It is quite doubt full, indeed, if he would have been noticed by Gladstone had he made less advantageous alliance. He is, in short, the sort of man to sicken one with the sound of the expression noblesse oblige.

It is singular fact that the consumption of coffee in England has declined during the last four years from 3O9, 900 cwt. to 2s5, GOO cwt., which allows considerably less than one pound per capita annually, as against more than five pounds tea. The annual oonsump- tion per capita in France is three and half pounds; in Germany, five pounds; in scan- dinavian countries, six pounds; in the United States eight and quarter pounds, and in Belgium nine pounds Holland probably surpasses Belgium, but the statistics on that point are not satisfactory.

Of all the uncomfortable people in this world probably the Czar of Russia has as lit- tie to console him as anybody. He has to be constantly guarded, and it is clear that he has little or no confidence in the officials whose special duty it is to protect him. He does not seem inclined to make any concession to the NihiIists, and they will probably kill him if he does not. Some may think that he de- serves his fate as the representative of sys- tenn that ought to die, but there are few so hard-hearted as not to pity him.
