A Plain Statement

A Plain Statement
Of plain facts. We have
too large a stock of
Boys and Children's
Clothing, which must
be moved for several
reasons; to do it we are
giving with a boys suit
or overcoat at $40 or
over one Of the improv-
ed Waterbury watches
and chain. We tried
this plan of advertising
before and know it will
do the business; and,
as people found out that
our goods were as low
as the lowest and they
are getting the watch
for nothing, they were
convinced that we had
marked prices accord
ingly. We offer an i'm
mense stock of new and
stylish goods at one low
price plainly marked on
every garment. Make
your own comparison
of goods and prices and
YOU will be convinced
that We are in earnest.

under suspicious circumstances.
Ira Godfrey, 1892 + street, testified thlt
West had been in his employ about five
years. lie had detected him in appropri-

West had collected from customers for

had taken drink of whiskey about 10

DR.. Talmage last evening at the Congrega-

said many pleasant, eloquent things, taking
an optimistic view of matters, which was
very cheering and helpful to those who are
prone to despond. He will always be
welcome speaker in Washington for one
reason or another no doubt. Ny personal
interest IN him growing now through an
acquaintance Of many years, Is based upon
his soundness In the faith. So far Us |
know, he is thoroughly evangelical, and has
always stood for those doctrines of the Cos
pei held In common by what are known as
the orthodox churches Of our times. lie
has never been smitten with desire to pro-
claim a new theology. With q fertile and
brilliant imagination, wonderful power
of word-palntlng, and most reten-

holds to the old moofings, and this is
why like him. / am glad to see that

WHAT WE SMOKE AND CHEW
Not Pure Tobacco, but sweetened and
Medicated Preparations.
IIIanltb ond Hama

licNllll una HOME
1t is rather late in the day to enter pro-
test against the use Of tobacco. Whatever
the faculty may say on the point Of its in
furious qualities, however much the clergy
may point out the possibility of It's leading
TO intcmpermce, the fact remains that
large proportion Of the world uses tobacco
IN some form or form or other. The Chi
nese, according to their accustomed vanity,
pretend to have been acquainted for many
ages with tobacco. But we must remember
that IN the earliest written Oriental tales
which have come to us--the Arabian Nights
observation-disclosures Is no allusiOn to the
custom of smoking, and there Is every rea-
son to believe that all Oriental smoking
was imported from England, and that Sir
Walter Raleigh lit the first pipe smoked
out of America.
In spite Of all that has been said against
II by feryid anti-tObaCcOnists, pure tobacco
is an excellent remedial agent; but 1t must
be absolutely pure. No poisonous decoc-
tions must eat into its substance or change
its nature. Used In a proper way, TO relieve
neuralgia pains, or applied In various atfec-
tions, under the advice of a skilled physi-
sian, II is valuable medicine.
The adulteration Of tobacco, very com
mon both IN this country and abroad, arises
from tWO CulslucIhIlohs' INC pure, nlturAl
leaf, in its yellow hue, is undoubtedly the
finest tobacco in the market But 50 many
accidents conspire to render the finest
leaves scarce that the natural leaf itself is
initiated. Coarse leaves are bleached by the
use Of chlorine TO The bright yellow color Of
the natural leaf, and sulphuric acid, prop
erly diluted, is used to make the little
"freckles," which are supposed by con
noisseurs to indicate superior quality Of
leaf.
But the "natural Leaf, y somehow, doesn't
seem to suit the tastes of the average
Chewer Of tobacco. He asks a certain de-
