 Endeavor all he can,

 He is a selfish man.

 The propriety of repeating all regulations permitting the application of any ageing process to whisky by distillers is being dis cussed in Washington. Reports have been received by the internal revenue bureau from agents in the West that certain distillers are in the habit of illegally smearing barrels in- side with burnt sugar or prime juice before filling them with spirits. Spirits in packages thus treated immediately assume the color of two and three years old whisky and are sold as such. The protection of the purchaser lies in the date on the stamp affixed when the goods are entered in the bonded ware house. The purchaser of goods direct from the distiller is enabled to tell it's age by the date on the warehouse stamp. But cases have occurred in which this stamp was found to be illegal so far as the date was concerned, and in such cases the purchaser had no as surance that the goods were of the age rep resented. The only way to detect the use of foreign matter in whisky is by chemical analysis. Goods which have been sold nnder false representations as to age usually pass into consumption without detection when coming from a bonded warehouse with the warehouse stamp and tax paid stamp affixed

About the only things in our Cotton Dress Goods Stock not likely to sell were a lot of fine Scotch Ginghams at 4oc yard and some French Sateens at 35c. They were too fine quail ties and too high priced. They are just as fine now, but the price has been made 18c. They are a bargain.
 We looked through the En- broidery Stock last week and found some short lengths some soiled pieces pieces which have been with us too long. We laid out a table full of bargains. In the lot are some at SOC which were marked $I and $I.25, some at 25c which were 75c, some not marked down as much, but all very cheap and positive bargains.
 Remember please that we have made reductions in the prices of all our Dress Goods, all our Black Goods, all our Silks and Velvets.

A CHEERING BUSINESS OUTLOOK. During the last week or two there has been a decided change for the better in the busi- ness outlook, and confidence, although plant of very slow growth. has perceptibly grown. The advance in the prices of cotton goods is very encouraging, and as there has been general exodus northward of the French Canadian operatives of Lowell, Nashua, Manchester and Norwich, it is be- ieved that the prices of cotton goods may make sharp advance before production is fairly under full headway. At Fall River the market value of mill stocks has advanced $2, ,000, 900 within ten days. There is also better feeling in the woolen business.
 There is similar good news concerning the iron trade A dispatch from Pittsburg says that the outlook for this important branch of industry has not been more favorable for number of years than it is at present. Signs of improvement are coming to the sur face every day, and manufacturers are be- ginning to concede that ''the black mantle of depression is being gradually lifted from the staple industries of Pittsburg.' Orders are increasing rapidly and many mills are running on double time.
 Reports from the West show that there is a more cheerful feeling in business centers there. Thirty or forty of the representative business men of Chicago have just been in terviewed, and the general tone of the inter- views is encouraging. In nearly every line of trade business has been better in August than it was in July and the prospect is that the improvement will continue. The bank CTS report larger amount of capital idle than at any previous time, but they say that on account of the prevailing low prices it takes much less capital to do business than formerly. When goods can be turned over for $75,000 which formerly required $1O0,00O in handling, it is plain that $25, ,000 must lie unemployed. The verdict at Chicago is that business men have no reason for dis better rather than worse.
 The crop prospects have much to do with this improvement. With perhaps the excep- tion of wheat the crops of the United States for this year promise to be exceedingly abundant. The corn crop bids fair to be very large. While the drought in some parts of the East affected the potato crop in- juriously there will be a more than ample supply. Of oats there is an immense crop. The cotton crop is to be luxuriant and the South will raise largely of other crops. The southern farmers are happy. The farmers of Georgia feel so we'll that they have asked the Governor of that State to appoint day of thanksgiving for "the good crops and the prospect of bountiful harvest"
 All this is very cheering. It is pleasant to look forward to another period of pros perity, even if there is certainty that it's advantages will be misused and another ''crash' thus be brought about.

Instead of taking prompt action to secure the
mouth of the aoueduct at Great Falls rom the
pollution which now enters 1t, those responsible
for this neglect and this crime against the COM
munity have resorted TO argument and misrep-
Yesentation to show that the water is not in
tured. Certain chemists, physicians and engi-
neers are having much to say on the subject of
water purifying itself from sewage and organic
matter by a flow of n few miles in the open air.
The intmations are that those who do not
know this, or doubt 1t, deserve pity for their
ignorance Even If this theory We're sound IT
Is not clear how they apply II In the case of the
Potomac water, which flows In a conduit not
open to- the air.
These gentlemen are clinging TO the old theO-
rfes Of the books when they were young, and
they are the ignorant ones. They do not seem
TO be aware that after an exhaustive investisa-
ton of this subject. extending over n long
period, and conducted by, some OF the most
noted chemists and physicians of Great Britain,
acting under the authority Of parliament, the
theory which is now advanced to excuse the
foul surroundings of the condriit's mouth has
been abandoned. 'ssi.i Az - E. 80
