Baltimore q Potomac and AIexan-
dria q FrcNcricIksburG NnilrOada.

dria q Fredericksburg Railroads.
Commencing December 1, 1885, q reduced

Potomac and Alexandria & fredericksburg
Railroad Companies. The rates are the
lowest ever offered on any railroad in this
country, except those now in effect on other
portions Of the Pennsylvania Railroad sys.
TEN. The reduction is founded on the
policy pursued by that corporation Of de-
veloping and building up the suburban por-
tons of its lines by making the inconsider-
able expense of transportation between city
and country one Of the advantages of rural
residence.
A convenient and rapid service of trains
and low rates are the two most powerful
factors in the growth of suburban districts,
and when these are once established, de-
yelopment of resources and increased values
OF property are certain to follow. Under
the new arrangement sixty-trlp monthly,
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES quarterly, aud
forty-siX.trip school tickets will be intro
duced. They will be sold between this city
and all stations on both the railroads.
The rates to a few Of the more prominent
points on the Baltimore & Potomac are as
follows: To Navy-Yard, sixty-trip, $500;
quarterly, 500; school, $500; to Seabrook,
sixty-trip, S6.45; quarterly, $14.50; school,
S4.3O; to Bowie, slxty-trip, $3.50; quarterly,
$l755; school, $500; to Marlboro, sixty

to Odenton, sixty.trip 1890; quarterly,
S22. 80; school, $500; to Baltimore, sixty
trip, $l5.45; quarterly, 1915.
On the Alexandria & Fredericksburg Rail-
way to Alexandria, sixty "trip, $3.50; quar-
terly, $l0.s0; school, 1920.
The twenty-six-trip family and firm
tickets will be withdrawn, and be replaced
by a flfty-trip ticket, to be sold at two cents
per mile.

have more Ovcrcoats than all the other

not be true If we did; but we do say,
and stake our claim to honesty on the
truth of our statement, that we have as
large u variety, as well selected an as.

trimmed stock of Overcoats for Men,
Youths and Boys as those who make
higherclaims can show you, and at prices
fully % per cent below what you have
heretofore paid for goods of the same
quality. In saying this we do not ask
you to take our unsupported statement,
but we wish to remind you in the most
respectful manner that you have every
opportunity of inquiring into the cor
rectness of our claim. Look around,
exercise your faculties, Judge for your
selves, post yourselves on the value of
goods. If you do these things, and
the saving of money is any considera-
ton to you, you will quickly decide
where your best interest lies In sub
hitting to you through the papers our
claim to selling fine Clothing at popu-

Glides calmly from Proseidon's fond en-
