who Is to BIames
Lambertville merchants never have
had satisfactory trade in fine Dress
Goods Novelties. Perhaps the trade
is thinking the same of US. Whose
fault? Not the merchant altogether.
We say both are to blame. Is there
any remedy for this? We think
there is. We've added and are now
keeping the Novelties, not all, but
enough to supply nine-tenths of the
trade, the other tenth and more, will
go to the city any how, and perhaps
once in awhile pay less more on an
average, with expenses added -
Black Silks and Black Cashmeres
are an exception, they have always
done us justice. There is good rea-
son, they have done you justice.
We have replaced yard for yard, all
Silks not giving satisfaction. For
tunately Is years experience has CIV
en- us little trouble in this direction.
Reliable makes are our safeguard,
and they are yours too.
Times change, people change, our
stores have changed, goods have
changed, prices have changed, and
we've changed, older, all the better
for that, we trust. We told you of
our desirable Dress Goods, ranging
from 12I to 25 cts. Piece after
piece of our new % cent goods, have
gone out. Ladies are not all slow
to appreciate good value. We will
now mention some of our finer Dress
Good Novelties, 5-4 Ladies Cloths,
all wool, desirable shades and finish,
so cents. Myosotis, Satin Berbers,
Satin Jacquard, Diavolos, ranging
from 70 cts. to 81. Best domestic
Ginghams, s and 10 cents F.; Zephyr
Ginham, 129 to Is cents /; Princess
Batiste, l6 cents Sateens, Lawns.
White Goods and Embroideries.
Carpet trade is booming; never
such trade before with us. Do we
deserve it? There is no doubt about
it. Your patronage saysso anyhow.
The secret is out. We started in
March with low prices and unlike
many others, have kept them low.

The Hunterdon Democrat suggests
that Senator Carpenter be renominated
for Senator. We will say this for the
Senator, that while he has shown him
self to be strong party man (which is
nothing to his discredit) he has we'll re.
presented the county, and worked for its
interests. He has made the ablest Sena-
tor this county has had for a long time,
and has taken conspicuous part in the
debates and business of the Senate. AS
the Senator for this county must needs be
Democrat, we would like to see Mr..
Carpenter reelected. But he puts a
quietus to the proposition in his last
week s paper by declining denomination.

The Government of the United States
is about to have new great seal. Strange
as it may seem, it has been discovered
that the seal in use since the foundation
of the Government is not designed in
accordance with the law which directed
its construction. Il is faulty in several
respects, notably in the number OF arrows
in the claw of the eagle, also in the shield
and in other respects. The new seal is 10

As matter of course counterfeiting
the current coin is a crime and must be
dealt with as such, but it is little
humilating to find that counterfeiters in
Indiana have been turning out silver
dollars of intrinsic value as great as those
issued in the regular way, if not greater.
There should be no such margin as
would make the private manufacture of
a legal tender coin source of profit.

The water.supply of St. Petersburg is
found to contain only 300 bacteria germs
to the cubic centimetre, although the
source of supply contains fully 10000
bacteria per cubic centimetre 1t seems
to be demonstrated that the destruction
of the germs is due to the rapid motion
of the water, and acting upon this theory
a centrifugal machine was hastily con-
structed when the number of germs was
reduced ninety per cent.

Charleston, which, under a law passed in
1879, was made the State capital after

THE YOUNG OLD MEN.
They Are Addressed by Mai. Newson

A meeting of the Junior Pioneer association
of st. Paul was held in the district court
room last night the attendance being quite
large and the proceedings very animated.
Mr.. John w. Willis presided and Mr..
O'Gorman officiated as secretary. About an
hour was consumed in discussing the con-,
stitution, which was first read and adopted
by sections and then approved as a whole.
After the adoption of the constitution
Maj. T. NJ Newson was called upon for a
speech. He responded in his usual happy
and eloquent manner and in the course of
his address he advised the young men pres
ent to call their society the Pioneer Assoca-
ton of 1860 He thought the institution
should be made for all time; that it should
form a part of the local history of
st. Paul, and that more than all it should be
made helping institution; that it should
extend the white wing of aid and charity over
its sick or needy. members. The speaker
illustrated his remarks in a touching and
eloquent manner and he spoke of the day,
not far distant, when the old settlers of not
only '49 but of go would be no more. In
that day he predicted that the cities of st.
Paul and Minneapolis would be one and that
the capitol would be midway between them.
On the conclusion of his address Maj. New
son was elected an honorary member.

CALL FOR JUDGE LYNCH.
A Growing Sentiment that Prompt Justice
Should be Melted Out to the Bullies
Who 90 Armed

"There is growing impression that it is
about time one of these gentlemen so free
with their guns should be strung up to the
nearest lamppost," said wel-informed citi-
zen when the case of Fred Loomack was called
in the police court yesterday. This is the
second case of the kind before this court in a
week, and that the city has not had two
dead women and two murder cases on its
hands is only because the bullets escaped
being fatal by mere scratch"
The remarks of the gentleman were not
far short of the mark and the sentiment
pretty nearly voiced that of the community
Last Monday colored bully named John
Allen was held to the grand jury for shooting
a young and inoffensive colored girl, and
Yesterday Fred Loomack was arraigned on a
similar charge. On Monday night he went
into house of ill-repute on Sixth street.
and few minutes afterwards he deliber-
ately SHOT Mamie Lacey, one of the inmates.
Particulars of the villainOus attempt at muir
der appeared in yesterdays issue of the
GLOBE and no excuse is offered in extenua-
ton, save that the fellow was drunk On
being arraigDed he said he was not ready for a
hearing, when the case was continued to the
Sd inst. He was committed without bail
The case of T. HerZich, the jackson street
tailor, arrested ten days ago on the charge of
setting fire to his shop, was again continued
until next Saturday.
Henry Thill, a Jackson street saloon-keeper,
was up for disorderly conduct, and W. j.
McFetridge was charged with decorating his
optics. The city attorney moved a dismissal
in both cases and the motion was granted.
d. Demling, an aesthetic youth of histri-
onic tendencies was charged with the larceny
OF pair OF opera glasses and some other
trinkets from Mr. J. Banks. The examina-
ton was continued to the 2Sth inst.
Louis Peglow, very small bow, was uD on
the charge Of stealing a pair of overshoes.
No case was made out against him and he
was discharged.
George Freyer, thirsty bum, went into
saloon Monday night and called for drink
After guzzing the booze ne refused to liqui-
date, when he was given the grand bounce
and afterwards arrested. He went to the
bastie for ten days.

ST Inhn,s universitr-

Among the worthy educational institutions
of Minnesota none have gained a more en-
viable reputation than that acquired bv st.
Johns university, situated at Colegeville.
Stearns county. The university was first
started ia 1857, since when il has expanded
into one Of the leading schools for learning
in the country. The site occupied by the in
stitution is one of the most
eligible in the state, and the
surroundings are finely calculated to inspire
love for study in the thoughtful mind. An
extra advantage consists IN the new and ele-
CANT additions recently constructed, and at
present the buildings occupied by st. Johns
university are second TO none In the North
west. A fine farm of 1000 acres is attached
to the college, which is exclusively cultivated
by the Behedctine order The catalogue in
1854 shows a membership of 203, while the
total income was S26,Sl2 The fac
ulty is composed Of gentlemen Of
rare sttaiuments. and the advantages
for obtaining a thorough. and even classical
education at 4 slight cost are unsurpassed.
Attached TO the college is library Of over
1000 volumes. The professors are all Bene-
dictines, and therefore the word salary in

the negative she looked troubled.
''Never mind, ma'am, said the boy, 'T'll

At length he obtained clue from fireman,
