FURNISHING GOODS.

Right from the beginning of the
season we shall name prices for all
kinds Of mems and boys furnish
ing goods that will cause this to be
one of our leading branches. Al
though we now do larger trade in
these goods than all others combin-
ed, our ambition knows no bounds,
we want to do more and we are
going to do it. The cold spell has
caused boom in heavy under
wear and this is just what we we're
waiting for. Within the last few
weeks we have received gigantic
stock of these goods purchased
direct from the mills at jobbers'
prices and will be sold to our Gus
toners at prices other dealers are
compelled to pay for them. We
for instance are offering knit shirts
and drawers at 20 cents; also can
ton flannel at same figures; heavy
ribbed goods at Is cents; we have
also all the better grades in merino
and all wool in fancy and plain at
the lowest figures. Our stock of
white and percale shirts was never
SO complete. We are sole agents
for the celebrated STANDARD
shirt made of 2Ioo linen and wam-
sutta muslin, fit guaranteed in every
case. We have all the new novel
ties in flannel shirts. Our line of
neck wear and hosiery cannot be
excelled in the State. The same
may be said of handkerchiefs, sus-
penders,. Gloves and every article
in this branch. 1t is by the prices
that we expect to make our trade
and we urgently invite you to come
in and see for yourself. 1t is to
your interest as well as your COM
fort to buy the STANDARD shirt.

HATS AND CAPS.

We are prepared as never before
with all the newest styles and nov
elites in both stiff and soft Hats.
Our stock is wonderful in its
extent, its variety and its
beauty, but as attractive as it is
for these reasons, it is more so on
account of the Insignificant prices
which we put on them. We sell
mems good wool Hats at IS cents
and all others proportionately low.
We also carry a complete line of
trunks, valises, umbrellas and
rubber goods.

MEMS SUITS.

In mems suits we have tweeds,
worsteds, satenets and meltons,
plain and fancy, we'll made and
trimmed. Prices are 81. 50 to 81
for full suits, these are great bar
gains. in better grades we have
all shades and styles of solid cassi-
mers for farmers, mechanics and
laborers. For the young men who
want fine dress suits which are
equal to the finest custom tailor
ing we have them in serge, silk
and satin lined. in sacks, f-oeks or
GETAWAYS. Gentlemen who have
never patronized our store because
laboring under the false idea that
we do not keep clothing fine
enough for them should make it a
point to come in and see for their
own satisfaction.

BOYS AND CHILDRENS
CLOTHING.

Equally with our mems depart
ment the wants of boys and chill
dren have been faithfully consider
ed. We are not afraid to assert
that we sell more boys and chill
dren's wear than all others in this
section combined. We have stacks
upon stacks of suits to fit little
boys at rs cents, $3.50 and 81
per suit. 1t is impossible to give
a word of description Of the shapes
and styles of make Of our boys
and children's clothing. 1t is a
sure confirmation of the old say
ing that it must be seen to be
appreciated. No mistake about it
Hirschman's is headquarters for
boys and children's clothing.
Our stock of these goods is far
ahead of any previous season.
Come and see them for yourself
and you will be amazed and de-
lighted not alone with the beauty
of goods and patterns but also
with the very low prices.

THE Soldiers Reunion held al
Fsirmont on last Thursday, Oct.
9Th, was successful gathering. A
procession was formed which
marched through the principal
streets of the town, after which
there was a general hand-shaking
among old soldiers, many of whom
had not met since the close of the
war. At the dinner hour well
filled baskets were produced and
a good picnic dinner had, but for
the sake of recalling the army days
several barrels of hard tack and
beans, bacon and coffee were dis
tributed. The address of welcome
was delivered by Ex-Governor Pier
point Response by Hon. John w.
Mason. Addresses were also de-
livered by Gen. w. B. Curtis, Gen.
Chas. B. Smith, Capt. T. A. Mauls-
by and others.

OVERCOATS.

Overcoats for men boys and
children. Why should any man
with cash and sense pay more
money elsewhere for a good over
coat than we charge for goods OF
equal finish, style and quality
Do you see any reason in it1 No I!
Of course not. Our prices for
men start at SI.75 and while it may
be said that our lowest priced
overcoats cannot be bought else
where for less than double the
money. In finer grades we have
them in all patterns and styles en-
bracing all that is new and desira-
BILE. We have an immense stock
of boys and children's overcoats
equally low.

THOUSANDS OF PANTS.

A very big quantity it is true
but not single pair too many if
our expectations of selling are
realized. There is every reason
why We should dispose of them
very easily. The goods are the
best and the prices are the lowest.
This we guarantee and as is well
known our guarantee means some
thing-not nothing. The prices
range from 50 cents to So and in
the enormous quantity we have in
stock every pattern, style and
quality. No one can possibly ex-
pect the pants we sell at 50 cents
to be Of such value as higher priced
goods.

HIRscHMAN's ADVERTISEMENT

HIRscHMAN's ADVERTISEMENT. :
On this page of the New DOMINION
appears S. D. Hirschman's annual
proclamation. 1t speaks for itselt
and contains no statement that Mr..
Hirschman can not make good.
He has built up trade in his par
ticular line that is phenomenal.
He has gained the custom and con.
hdence of our solid people and has
made himself a fixture in Morgan
town. No one buys of him but
gets value received for his money.
He has, practically, no rivals. 9th
ers have tried it, but none have
succeeded. He is very shrewd
buyer and is generous enough tc
give his patrons the benefit of his
skill in this direction. In fact this
is one of his strong points. The
better way to ascertain how he
does business will be to read his
advertisement and then examine
his stock. He also WHOLESALERS te
some extent in addition to his re-
tail trade. Give him call wheth
er you want to buy a single article
or a case of goods.

Echoes From the Campus.

Miss Jennie Smith, in company
with several ladies Of the w. c. T.

Monday morning. She delivered
one Of her characteristic earnest,

nobler life,
Quite a number of the students
took in the picnic at Hoffman's
grove on Saturday. All report
good time and lots to eat.
A crowd of students went chest
nutting on Saturday afternoon and
made big haul.
The literary societies adjourned
an Friday night for the necktie
party; which almost proved fatal to
several of the boys.
Mr.. Yost is able to be out again.
He has moved his quarters to
High street.
Lieut.. Wilson was absent Friday
and Saturday.
Mr.. Bush now holds forth in the
lecture room of the Prep. Building.
1t has been fitted up.
The boys were lectured from the
rostrum on the disturbing effects of
foot-racing and bicycle riding on
the campus during recitation hours.
1t has had the desired effect.
The necktie party brought out
almost every stndent. The de-
lightful verses OF Horace, the even
more enticing prose of Livy, and
Xenophons matchless lines, all SO
dearly loved by the student, we're
powerless to keep him from that
social occasion. Some were known
even to tear themselves away from
the perusal of German grammar
and HE away to the place of revel-
ry. 1t was funny to see how
Chance would pair off people If she
were left to do her work. 1t might
be added that she presided over

THE Uniontown Republican Stan
dard says: "The attempt to post
pone the Morgantown centennial I'M
til the railroad is completed to that
place didn't succeed. The younger
element of the populace took the mat
ter in hand and knocked the post
ponement scheme of the old fogies
out of time. The celebration will be
held October 20, as at first proposed,
railroad or no railroad. This is
right. Waiting for railroad to be
finished is uncertain business. The
railroad will probably be completed
to Morgantown this winter, and our
neighbors might postpone the cele-
bration till that time, but it wouldn't
be centennial"

BOROUGH ELEcTIoN-THE Or
DINANcE ADOPTED BY A MAJORITY
OF 1914. The election held on Sat
urday resulted in the ratification of
the ordinance authorizing the issu-
ing of bonds by the Council for
opening the street to the depot of
the F., M. & P. r. R. The vote
stood as follows:
Total vote cast.... .............. LA
For Ratification.................. 124
For Rejection. .................. 20
Majority for Ratification....... 104
1t was necessary in order to
adopt the ordinance that it receive
three-fifths of the votes cast. 1t
was necessary therefore that of the
IA votes cast 81 Of them be for
ratification. There were I24, which
is 81 more than was necessary.
Again, in order to defeat the ordi-
nance there should be s. of the
LA votes cast against it. There
were only 20 votes against it, be-
ing 80 short Of the required num-
Der. The Council will meet this
week and certify the vote and no
doubt take such steps as will lead
to speedy opening Of the street.
1t is important that the matter be
prosecuted at once as the railroad
company has directed contractor
Bennett to do the grading as soon
as authorized by the town author
tiles, and Mr.. Bennett is ready and
anxious to get at work. We ex-
pect to see the new street opened
and ready for travel at an early
day.

The Iron and Steel Bulletin says:
THE total production Of pig iron in
theUnitcd States in 1884 was 4.5Sg.6l3
tons Of 1000 pounds. As compared
with the production Of 1888 these figures
show decrease OF 557.S59 tons. or
eleven per cent. The years product
was very slightly below that Of 1881.
the difference being only 5l.95l tons
These comparisons Indicate that the
consumption Of pig iron in 1884 Was
considerably above the general esti-
mate. and the statistics Of stocks Of
unsold pig iron which we have collected
show that practically the entire output
Of the year was absorbed. there being
only -. 200 net tons more pig iron on
hand at the close Of 1884 than at the
expiration of 1888.
