is the accumulation of "rem-
nants" in any stock of Dry
Goods; but in our stock they
do not accumulate.
AS an actual fact, with our
constantly increasing bust
ness, and the consequent cut
ting of more pieces of goods,
the average number of rem
nants i'll our stock is far less
than in any previous season.
This is due to the extraordina-
ry success which has attended
our Regular Weekly "Rem-
nant' Day Sale, which takes
place every Friday, when we
place upon our counters the
accumulation Of remnants"
from the previous five days
trade, each one being marked
at a specially reduced "rem-
nant' price.
Below we give one Of the
many causes which go to
swell the accumulation of
remnants"
Lady customer Ito clerk
who recommended her the
Regatta" brand Of Ameri-
can silk)-"You say that the
Regatta silk is guaranteed
for wear ?"
Salesman--"Yes, madam;
we guarantee every yard Of
it."
Customer - every well;
I'll take twenty yards Of this
piece"
Salesman (after measuring
the piece)-"There are just
twenty-three yards and a half
in the piece, madam; if you
can use the whole quantity,
we will callit twenty-five and
a half yards"
Customer-Twenty yards
will be quite sufficient. Don't
you wish to cut it ?"
Salesman-"Oh, yes, mad
am; we will cut it, but we
always offer the customer the
bargain of the remnant
rather than cut it."
The quantity wanted is cut
and the short length is added
to the remnant" pile. Thus
we count on having at least
one remnant for every piece
of goods we buy.
Desiring to close out two
lines Colored Silks--one oil
Ottoman and one of Rhadzi-
mir-we have made a rem.
nant price" on each line, al.
though the pieces contain
full dress patterns, in order
to make quick work anc
close them out at once. The
Rhadzimirs are of the cele
brated manufacture Of Che
ney Brothers, and the Otto

makers equally reliable, anc
the wear of both is guaran
teed. This offers an excep
tional opportunity to secure

Must Be Enforced.

Abraham Stockton, who, during
many years, lived in the southern part
of Arkansaw, was, in honor to his
great learning and also to the fact that
he had once killed mad dog, elected
justice of the peace. The people were
very anxious TO see case taken be-
fore the old man, for every man knew
that Stockton's opinion would be one
which the supreme court could not re-
verse. The opportunity came. A man
named Eckford sued Mr.. Chelsey.
The litigation grew out of a dispute
concerning the ownership of a lot of
sheep. A jury was empaneled, the
evidence was taken and the lawyers
made their speeches. The verdict of
the jury declared that the sheep should
be equally divided. Before discharg-
ing the jury, the magistrate said:
"Gentlemen, you've did your duty,
but you amt made no provisions fur
the cost in this thing. The constitu-
ton of the United States says that
when jurymen make SIGH oversight,
the Judge shall take the matter into
his own hands. Gentlemen, I'll charge
you two dollars a piece. Ihave heard

Rismarck,s Dream.

Are Austria and Russia working to-
gether for England's humiliation
The report that these great powers
''have come to an understanding about
the Orient" must be classed among
the many statements of the day thai
are important if true. Austria has
never been friendly to Russia. She
has ALWAYS stood opposed to Russia 5
ambition in the direction of Constants
nople. During the past decade dip
lomatic controversy between Vienna
and St. Petersburg has gone on almost
without intermisSion. Yet it is as
serted that the most amicable relations
now exist between the two govern
ments.
Ministerial officials of Austria are
claiming for Franz Joseph all the
credit of having effected a settlement
of the Anglo-Russian dispute. Eng
land was forced to back down, they
say, because Austria interposed at
Constantinople to prevent the conclu-
sion of an Anglo-rurkish convention
which would open the Dardanelles to
English war ships. The British cab
met became alarmed at this hostile
demonstration from an unexpected
quarter
If Austria's attitude is not misrep-
resented, perhaps wes see the beginning
of movement for the realization OF
Bsmarck's dream, which eliminates
Turkey from the powers of Europe,
extends Austrian rule to the Bosphor-
us, and annexes part of the German
provinces OF Austria to the German
empire. For Russian consent to this
grand scheme, Austria. with the con
sent and support of Bismarck, could
afford to favor Russia's plan of reach
ing salt water by way of Afghanlstan.
