BurInah's White Elephant

No longer brushes under his ponderous
feet the victims of King Theebaw' S dis
pleasure. Gen. Prendergast had him
yoked to mud scow, and he now
mournfully chews the cud of reflection
as he YEARLY plods along the towpath
Of the lrrawaddy. Mandalay has not
yet been draped in mourning for the
loss of its costly luxury. The white
elephants of the clothing business who
wax rich and grow fat off the enormous
profits they make on the goods they
sell would do well to reflect on the fate
of Theebaw's monster.
We are only too willing to live and
let live" We buy our goods low for
cash we can afford to sell low because
we sell for cash alone. We have no
bad debts TO make good by charging
cash buyers high prices.
We particularly pride ourselves on
the perfect-fitting clothing we offer for
men, boys and children's wear. 1t is
not ALONE to our low prices that we
wish TO draw your attention, but to the
cut, shape, make and trimming of the
goods we sell, which is the highest test
of the superior excellence of our SUI
perb assortment.
1t is useless to quote prices here.
Suffice 1t to say: No matter how small
the amount you wish to invest in q suit
or overcoat for man or boy always
within the bounds of reason of course)
we can meet your requirements; no
matter how FINE goods you may wish
to purchase we have them, and at
prices that will agreeably surprise you;
no matter what style of garment your
fancy calls for, rest assured you will
find it on our counters, whether it be
for man, youth, boy or child.

ton, goods gladly exchanged, money

inches through at the head and tapering
off quite small ut the tail. The eyes are of
a pearly blue, and two very small horns
project from the top of the head. At each
side of the fish, just back of its head, is a
wing, which when stretched measures
about an inch across Under these on
each side are three small legs, the outer
ends of which are hard, and under the legs
are the front fins.

MIR. HENDRICKS INTERVIEWED.
The vice-President Questioned on Civil
Service Reform.

CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-Nice- President Hen
bricks, accompanied by Mrs. Hendricks,
arrived here this morning In an inter
terview with representative of the press,
Mr.. Hendricks was asked:
"Do you think civil service reform so
called has become firmly enough engraft-
ed upon our politics to be called an estab-
lshed fact 2"
Mr.. Hendricks hcsitated momentarily,
then replied with some emphasis
81 do not. Nothing can be called an
established fact about which there is still
argument, discussion and division of
opinion"
at has been intimated, Mr.. Hendricks,
in various newspapers that there is not
that cOrdiality and samcneSs Of purpose
between President Cleveland and your
self that would naturally be expected to
characterize the first Democratic admin
iStration in twenty five years.
Well us to that, it is the invention,
principally, of disaifected Tepresen-
tidives of factions of the one hand
and the suspicious and couiecturcs,
of partisan organs of the opposition.
People who can intelligcntly judge of the
difference of orr positions Will place no
credenCe in such statements. Our rela-
ton when we meet are decidedly cordial.
! have not seen the President now in four
months, but have no doubt when do
meet him II will he upon terms of the
most cordial democratic fellowship
Mr.. Hendricks took his departure this
afternoon for New York.

Report Made by the National Cotton En-
change-The Crop in Good Trim.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. The July report
of the National Cotton Exchange says of
the cotton crop: The weather conditions
during July over the whole belt has been
very favorable to the growth aud develop
ment of the plant. Cultivation has been
pushed and the crops have been laid by in
good trim with very little loss to the
stand in cutting ont the grass. The plant
has grown rapidly and has maintained
almost perfect health. except in some
localities, and as a rule the backwardnesS
due to late planting has been near
ly, if not entirely overcome. AS to
the frutage, which is now the prim-
al element in estimation to condition,
the report says could scarcely be better
There has been very little shedding or
rust. The cotton worm has done no dam
age, though it has made its appearance in
several localities. The percentage has
been advanced to ninety-seven against
ninety two at the close of June.
