of provisions for industrial training for girls

The Baltimore appetite for terrapin is of
recent growth. -"Thirty years ago, with the
hardest kind of labor" says dealer, "I
succeeded in selling $1,000 worth of dia-
mond-baek terrapin at from $9 to $40 a
dozen. In the season which closed on the
1st of April sold over 800, 900 worth, and
my sales would have reached half million if
l could have gotten the terrapin." There
are several methods of catching the terrapin
One is by a dredge, another by seine, an
other by net, and still another by three
pound stick. With the latter the catcher
prods in the mud Until he feels something
move, and then he reaches down for the dia-
mond back. The element of luck enters
largely into terrapin catching, but experience
frequently shows where they most abound
Good catchers know the creatures peculiari-
ties, and when they discover a luxurious
growth of water crosses they lie low for their
prey, as that is sure to prove a terrapin
feeding ground.
1t will mean something to be a postoffice
inspector under the new administration.
Postmaster General Villas has prepared a
series Of seventeen questions which appli-
cants are required to answer. Every appli-
cant is required to state, among other things,
the condition of his health and physical pow
ers; whether hearing or eyesight is in any
way affected, what his occupation has
been since he became 1S years of

civil or military, national, State OF munich
pal, and if SO, what, when, where, how long
and under what circumstances he was elected
or appointed; whether he has ever been in
dicted or complained against in court for
any criminal offence, and if SO, for what,
when, in what court and what was the result
of the proceeding; whether he ever occupied
any Office in any way connected with the
Postoffice Department.; his knowledge of
postal affairs and of the mode and manner of
carrying the mails, and of the business of
the department and of postoffice, his quail
ications for and experience account
ant, his experience, if any, specially tending
to qualify him for service as postofice in
spector. The answers to these questions
must be sworn to by the applicant before a
notary. He must present certificate from
practising physician regarding physical

sonally acquainted with the applicant and
knows him to be man of good moral char
acter and of good reputation and respecta-

PALM ER'S
LIVER PILLS.

We doubt if there ever has been PLACED
on the market, such Perfect and Effective
Liver Pills for the cure of Biiousness.
Bilious, Sick and Nervous Headaches,
Chronic Constipation, Dyspepsia, Mala-
ria, Chills and Fever, Dizziness, Distress
After Eating, Bad Taste in the Mouth.
Liver Complaint, Nausea, Piles, Diseases
Incidental to Woman, Indigestion, De-
preston of Spirits; Purifying, Enriching
and Vitalizing the Blood and Restoring
and Renovating the whole system.
NEW HAVEN, CONN.
have never found in all my practice,
any Liver Pills of so great value as Palm
er's Liver Pills for the treatment of Bilious
ness, Bilious Headache, Malaria, Liver
Complaint, Chronic Constipation and all
disorders caused by bilious state of the
system. They are entirely unlike all
other Pills, and are marvel to all who
use them. DIR. /. s. MILLER.
These Pills are not Quack or Pat
ent Medicine, but have great Medicinal
Virtue and Power So eminently sue
cessful have they been, that our best
physicians and most worthy citizens furn-
ish us with testimonials of cures effected,
which seem miraculous and would hardly
be believed, were it not for the abundance
of proof and its unquestionable reliability.
Ask for Palmer's Liver Pills, and if
~your druggist does not keep them, don't
allow him to put off on you any other
Pills that contain Mercury or Morphine,
which they say will answer equally as
well, but insist upon taking no other but
Palmer's and your druggist will get them
for you.

Gloves and
Stockings
and other
things.

Ladies of good taste are fas-
tidious about Gloves. We have
learned long ago that it pays
better to keep the best gloves we
can find, and sell them on a
small margin than to try to get
a larger profit on anything not
SO good. We never forget that.
1t Pays letter.. that is why we
stick to it. For an example of
excellence in quality look at the
frame-made, spun-silk Jersey
Gloves we have just opened.
You will not find anywhere a
glove of the kind of a more per-
feet fit and finish. All the prop
er colors are there too, amber,
beige, Havana, mastique, tans,
greys, &c.
For a low-priced, but also
meritorious article, see the Lisle
Thread Jersey Gloves at 25c.
You did not expect to get any
thing SO good under 38c.
The "Foster" Kid Gloves are
another thing we like to sell, be-
cause they are good. Even the
lower grades, the Fowler" and
the William" are highly salts
factory at their respective prices.
Our button and Mousquetaire
Gloves are the same makes that
we have imported for several
years past: that fact alone is
their best recommendation. We
would not go on year after year
with anything less satisfactory
to our customers.
Lisle Thread Stockings can be
sold now very much cheaper.
A really good brilliant Lisle"
Hose for ladies is in our stock
to-day at SOC. They can be got
lower; but we say a really ,g0od
one is now sold at that price.
Silken Hose for Ladies are
here at ST., $I.25, $1.62, $I.75
and S..
Cotton Hose for ladies, solid
colors, white soles, Cor the old
styles if preferred,) at 25c, 3oc,

Boys Stockings-ah, there's
the rub Where is the stock
ings that will not wear through
at the knees? We haven't seen
it yet; but we are doing the
best we can to give you stock
ings that come the nearest to it.
If any mothers are not satisfied
with what they are getting for
the boys elsewhere, suppose they
try ours.

rised before, also a cheaper

at ours and go away always
come back to buy-at least so
often that we are convinced we
must be giving better value than
our neighbors. AS we have on
ly one price and stick to it, we
are obliged to make it low in
order not to risk losing sales.

The German government undertakes to
make good losses in the mails. Recently a
poet whose verses were to be paid for failed
to get the money because the poem did not
arrive. He applied to the government for a
sum equal to what he lost by the failure of
the letter to arrive, and the postal officers
declined to pay that sum, but told him they
would pay the regular price per pound for in
iured goods. This kind of treatment is cal
culated to hurt the feelings even of ''spring

The new Solicit or Of the Treasury is
said to be contemplating suit against
the bondsmen Of Colonel Thomas Pan
tagruel Ochillree for the amount Of the
unsettled balances due the United
states by the distinguished warrior and
statesman when United States Marshal
for Texas. It will be remembered that
this claim OF the Government lay dor
mant for number Of years, as the colos-
sal possessions of Colonel Ochltree were
inaccessible Of reach by any means In
the power of the Government When
he came to Congress the First Comp
troller of the Treasury undertook to APP
ply his salary to the liquidation of the
claim as far as 1t would go. The Colo
mel made gallant tight he scorned to
deny the debt, but he insisted that no
power could keep his salary as repre-
sentative Of free, independent and I'M
tanned Texans. The first Comptroller
sucoumbed to the arguments hurled at
him, nnd the authenticated son Of the
Lone Star State drew his salary with
characteristic punctuality, while the
charge against him as Marshal was put
back In the profit and loss column, from
which the Comptroller had undertaken
to rescue it. just before leaving Wash
ington on the completion of his term as
n Representative, Colonel OChiltree in
formed his friends he was going into big
railroad enterprises, requiring an outlay
of many millions, and, although he did
not positively say so. the inference was
that he wns to furnish most of the capt.
tai. If the solicitor concludes to bring
suit. perhaps II would be well to try the
Colonel once more before falling back on
the bondsmen.-- Washington special to

The procession moved slowly and
maiestically, in perfect order down Com
merce street ont to the cemeteries, where
the flower wagons were brought into
requisition.
On arriving Mt the cemetery the troops
were marched to the east of the super
intendent's house and came to rest.

Grams formed In front of the platforms,
where the impressive ceremonies OF the
G.. A. Il. ritual were read by Comman-

heads. The old soldiers then scattered
about the cemeteries, laying beautiful
floral tributes in the shape Of elegant
wreaths. crosses and boquets on the
graves Of departed heroes and friends.
Few graves were missed, and many
were the silent tear wiped away beside
the grave in which rested all that
was mortal of loving heart of father,
