THOSE DISCOUNTS

On Dress Goods that we have been ad-
vertising in February, will be discontinued
after the 27th. We shall probably then
make the net prices on any fancy styles or
slow selling goods as low as they are now
with the discounts, but that will not be so
with staple and plain goods, such as Cash
meres, Serges, Ladies' Cloths, sc. So it
would be well to buy these of us this week.
About Silks we will not say what we shall
do 1t is quite plain to anyone that we
can't continue for ever to do as we are doing
now. First-class, well-knoTh, staple Black
Silks at three-quarters to two-thirds of value,
is not thing likely to continue, although
we have our reasons for doing it now.

making an improvement in the get-up of our

OF the old one at 75c. 1t is even now the

people, who would buy them at twenty-five

people who know better get the bargains.
Summer Silks at 35c, 3715c, 45c, are cheap
enough, but they not half the bargain to

Anoint my eyes that may see
Through all this sad obscurity,
This worldly mist that dims my sight,
These crowding clouds that hide the light.
Full vision, as perhaps have they
Who walk beyond the boundary way,

But only this-that through the mask
Which centuries of soil and sin
Have fashioned for us, l may win
A clearer sight to show me where
Truth walks with faith divine and fair.

RING RULE IN NEW ORLEANS.
Spending the City's Money EXtraVa-
gantIy and Illegally.

NEW ORLEANS, sept. 23.-As the end OF
the year approaches the financial condi
ton of the city becomes very interesting.
even if painful to contemplate. The
counted-in councilmen and the bosses, who
created and rule them and the depart
ments OF the government, have, by extrav-
aRance and mismanagement, brought
about the present fearful condition. The
Legislature enacted a law by which the
departments could only expend one
twelfth OF their annual apprOpria-
ton each month. This law, if
inforced, would have prevented trouble.
knowing the weakness Of the
Council the bosses defied the law aud
incurred bills without reference to the
one-twolfth or any other rule. The ap-
preparation for the material account of
the Department Of Public Works for the
entire year was $4,000. With that amount
expended the department has within the
last four months contracted bills for ma
terial for S2l 900. Instead of preferring
charges against the ring officers for Will
ful violation OF the restricting law the
subservient Council iaflated and stretched
the weak budget to cover the overdrafts
Of it's masters. The Mayor vetoed the or
dinance and took advantage OF the occa-
sion to tell the Council tEat it had mis-
managed the city's affairs and brought
upon Itself the suspicion OF venality. A
reform councilman told the Mayor
that the bad government was his fault as
much as the Councils, as he had
signed all the rotten laws, and had failed
to haul up the bosses before the bar Of the
Council for their Offenses. The Mayors
veto did not amount to anything. He had
conference with the Council and the
vetoed amendments were agreed upon as
necessary, and last night they were
passed with the consent OF the Mayor, the
bosses being gwen the additional amounts
asked for. The city can ill-affOrd the
extra burdens. The State Legislature
saddled considerable State expenditures
upon the city. Extravagant and
uncalled-fOT legislation by the Council
has added 10 the load Taxes
have just commenced coming in,
and the collections for some time
will 20 TO pay the loan of $500, 600
contracted TO pay the expenses of the
city earlier In the year. Under the budget
amendments providing for the excuses
the council at its last meeting passed APP
preparations amounting to $l50OO0. There
will be no money to pay these for a long
time yet, and the Council authorized the
borrowing Of more money with the other
loans yet unpaid. AS there is no provision
in the budget to pay the interest on loans
the interest account will play sad havoc
with the city's figures. The city en-
plOyes have not been paid since June, nor
the teachers since April. The teachers
not being politicians, receive the least
consideration from the Council, and suffer
most from the scarcity of funds.

AJUDGE TO BE REMOVED.

Judge Dawne, OF Alaska, the Man Re-
ferred to in the Presidents Noted
Letter.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-The President
has determined to remove f. j. Dawne,
appointed some two or three months since
as United States Judge for Alaska. This
is the appointment said to have been i'm
properly procured, out Of which grew the
caustic letter of the President to one of
the indorsers of Mr.. Dawne, who after re-
commencing him, found fault with his
appointment. The President has received
several letters from Oregon, from which
State Dawne was appointed representing
strongly that he is unfit for the place, and
he Is still very indignant at the manner in
which he was imposed upon by those who
asked for the appointment. 1t Is quite
sale to say that not one of them will ever
obtain another favor from the administra-
ton.
Before the President left Washington
for his summer vacation Senator Ransom
and Representative Cox, of North Caro-.
lima, laid before him charges of offensive
partisanship" against w. S. OBJ. Robin
son, United States attorney for the east
ern district of North Carolina. and asked
for his removal, and the appointment of
Talbot Bushee in his place. No action
has yet been taken by the President, and
Senator Ransom.came on yesterday and
went TO the White House to jog his me-
mory. Mr.. RObinsOn's commission will
expire next April. The President would
probably prefer to let him hold on till
that time, as be does not want to have
any more fights on hand with the Senate
than are necessary. But Senator Ransom
has very winning ways. aud if he can get
the President TO make the removal will
have no fear as to receiving the assent Of
the Senate.

that has been inflicted on this community
by you and your confederate. There are

with cases the most pitiable and heart

and criminality. Poor women, poor men,
and children who earned their money by
daily toll have been robbed Of their little

yourself and this man Petit, who is not

When an Offepse is committed on some
sudden impulse and a mans life has been

Henry Clay possessed the wonderful
faculty, so valuable to a politician, saws
Ben: Perley Poore, of remembering names
and faces. Many anecdotes are told il
Illustrating this, and also his exquisite
tact. On one occasion, It is narrated.
when he was At the height of his fame,
Mr.. Clay was on triumphant journey
down the Ohio river, ard was TO stop at a
certain town for an hour or two to enable
the people to shake hands with him. For
days before he arrived, Grggsby, a we'll
TODD citizen, had talked about his having
known MIR. Clay at a time when the latter
boarded at the Lexington hotel, in which
Grlggsby was barkeeper. Griggsby did
not tell the people that one night, when
Clay had played cards In the hotel till he
had lost Ais money and his luck, he had
borrowed $50 from Griggsby at the latter's
suggestion. which had stralghtway fol-
lowed his own money into bis opponents
pockets. He had promised Griggsby that
he would repay him when he got some
money. But IL was q long time before he
got some, and then Griggsby was no lon
ger In Lexington, aud SO he forgot Griggs-
by's loan. GriRgeby was glad be didn't
remember. 1t WAS his proudest memory
that he had once loaned Mr.. CLAY $50.
And now Mr.. Clay was coming 10 town.
and Griggsby felt sure he would be rec
ognized. The town was on pins and
needles OF excitement all day. The town
band made IL fairly dance with uneasi-
ness. Mr.. Clay's boat was announced
forty times before II arrived. ANY mum.
Der Of small boys tumbled into the water
looking for it. The Refreshments got
cold, the crowd got tired, and the recep.

welcome.
Az last Mr.. Clay arrived. He was at
his zenith point. He always looked as
great as he WAS. lie looked a very DENT
god % the people OF the little town. They
got him into the hall. They read the
speech Of welcome TO him from the origil
nal manuscript. Then they formed in

the great man might have forgotten him.

corner.
Then Griggsby felt flushed with trL
umph. He did not tell the people Of tho
town what had passed In that weighfv
conference. But by and by II leaked out
that after asking about his health and
his properly, Clay had insisted, in snite
ot Griggsby's vigorous protest, In making
a memorandum 10 return that loan. And
