The Wholesale and retail grocery estab-
lishment of G.. A. Draper on Ferguson
street, is one of the solid institutions of
Cheyenne. In the first place it is a large,
airy, handsome store, the stock is all be-
fore the purchaser and he can make his
own selections without the aid of the ever
ready clerk. Comparatively new, only
two years old, the real size of the store
room is concealed by the heavy stock
carrie by the concern. The store is
ll0x40 feet with twenty foot ceilings, and
an additional warehouse is required at the
west end 40x70, two stories, to accommo-
date the immense stock. The specialties
of this house are canned goods and fancy
groceries. Their canned fruits come from
California, their canned vegetables from
the best factories of Illinois and Iowa,
and as far east as Delaware. Canned
mackerel hailing from Gloucester, Mass.
greet your eye, while distant China and
Japan have been despoiled of fancy teas.
The far East furnishes Mocha and Java
coffee, the West Indies sugar, while sunny
Florida has provided delicious oranges.
All the preserves on the shelves in glass,
are mported-preserves and vegetables
from Germany and fruits from France.
Fragrant Havanas and the choicest brands
of domestic cigars and Lorilard's tobaccos,
leaves nothing to be desired by the custo-
mers except a good book account or I'M
limited credit.

The american Congress of churches,
at Hartford Conn.,, as it is called, is nota-
Bile assembly. Its purpose is to magnify
and make important all those things con-
corning which all Christians are in accord.
All denominations are represented by men
OF ability, influence and wide popularity but
there Is no discussion from any particular
UNCONVENTIONAL standpoint. The papers
already read are well calculated to promote
the object in view. The speakers concede
the Christian character of all denominations
represented, regret the results of past strife
and urge that the services of worship be
more largely of character in which all
Christians can unite.

for the militia both of which the city would

considerations are entitled TO weight. On
