A WORD ABOUT sEERsUCKERs.
THE KINDS WORTH BUYING.

Undoubtedly the best SEERsUCKERs are the
sllk-and.sea- island.cotton kind that are made In
Calcutta. II they are shrunk properly, and not one
out OF every hundred made are. they will wear
creditably for five years. TLey cost SIS per suit,
ready made. These seersuckers, being the best,
are what Is known as GENUINE CALCUTTA
sEERSUCKERS.
ALL THE OTHERS ARE INVITATIONS.
The best thing In the limitations are the linen
and-cottOn combinations, known as the
ENGLISH sEERSUCKER.
They were made expressly for Mscullar, VIII
liams Parker, OF Boston, Mass, who placed the
monopoly ofthe Baltimore, Washington, and Rich
mond markets In the hands Of our manufacturing
house. In answer to an Inquiry our manufacturers
directed TO them rs to how 10 treat the goods before
making them, they replied:
TIRE GOODS ARE READY PoR THE NEE
DE-
We made them NJ, and after selling q few OF
them, we find they shrink about size. They retail
In Boston ard New York At ss . suit. We retail
ours AZ
FOUR DOLLARS AND FIFTY PER SUIT.
To protect yourself against shrinkage, buy size
larger than your measure. The satisfactory char.
acter Of these goods has brought cut whole batch
OF domestic imiiat:ons. To produce the wrinkisd
effect Observable In the genuine seersneker, a few
threads are dropped alternately In the niing. This
makes them tender, and after examining them
critically we concluded they would not give salts
faction. IL takes but very slghs strain 70 break
these goods. and II you are buying seersucker II
would be well for you to test The strength before
you invest. And nova you know as much about
seersuekers we do, We can only add that wa
are ready TO supply you with the best In the world

The body OF the well-known finaucier,

with bullet through the head. His ring.
which was valuable one, and all his
money except fifty confines In the waist

had recently been greatly depressed
on account OF monetary troubles. He
was last seen on Thursday last at
midnight in the pavilion Henri
Quatre, in La Me. ST. German, with
a lady with whom he Is supposed to have
had intimate relations. NJ. Volkmar went
TO New York in 1881 and loaned $4,000.
He then proceeded TO London, where he
started the Faure Accumlater Company.
He sold his share in the company for q
comparatively small sum and came to
Paris. Here he speculated on the bourse.
and despite losses he recently declared that
he had monthly income OF 4,000i
The theory OF murder il favored because
Volkmar's pistol was found in his resi-
dence untouched. II he committed sui.
eide he must needlossly have purchased
another pistol. The affair causes 4 great
sensation here.

The Temperance Apostle, Neai Dow,
youches for Blaine nv n Maine Law

The Temperance Apostle, Neai Dow,
yOaches for Blaine M o Maine Law
Man.
The following is a copy Of o letter writ
ten by Neal Dow to the Rev. G.. Clark, Jr.,
editor Of the Home Visitor, New Jersey
prohibition organ:
Dear Sir.-Your note OF the 4th instant
has Just reached me. In answer TO your
inquiry | say: have hsd many letters from
different parts OF the country making In
quirles about Mr.. Blaine. MY reply has
been that he bas always been friend OF
the Maine-law and has many times render
ed important service to it. He Is In favor
Of the proposed constitutional amendment
and Will vote for II. lie is also teetotaler
and has been so several years.
The Republican party OF Maine has
always made prohibition part OF its plat
form, and conceded TO the people ut the
last Legislature an opportunity TO vote on
the question OF constitutional prohibition,
as il is the undoubted right OF the people
TO do. The temperance.mcn OF Maine,
therefore, may properly be loyal to the
party which has Just claim to their sup
port. But outside Of this State, Vermont,
Kansas, and Iowa the Republican party
has no claim whatever upon the tenn
perance-men for any help at the ballot
box.
We, the temperance-men Of Maine, are
firm in the conviction that our obiect-the
prohibition and suppression OF the liquor
traffic can never be attained except by in
dependent political action. The sooner
that policy is resorted to and vigorously
pursued the sooner we shall win.
Respectfully. NEAL Dow.
