 -Crowded, Crowded to the Door.
 All day long the store has been crowded with customers eager to buy up the wonder ful bargains in fine clothing being offered at the great assignment clothing sale for men, boys and children.

Everybody buys and goes away with their arms full of bundles perfectly satisfied, and we do not wonder, considering the unheard of prices. We are selling fine clothing. Look here: Mems heavy overcoats $2.95, worth s9.0o; mems splendid diagonal suits $3 95, worth $1400; mems all wool suits $5.65, worth S1600, and thousands of other bargains which you must call and see.

NoRDECK AT CARLL'S

MT. Frank Mayo Will present Nordeck at Carll's Opera House next week. We spoke highly of it when it was last here and the Boston Herald in criticism of recent performance of it in Boston says: 'sIt is strong, effective and satisfying work. Its story is interesting-even fascinating and skillfully told; the characters are we'll and strongly drawn and ably contrasted, the incidents are striking, and the situations powerful. The whole work is upon higher plane than almost any modern play which has been brought out within the past few years, and it's great success is therefore very gratifying. The production is in keeping with the merit of the drama. MT. Mayo well deserves all that has been written in praise of his impersonation of Waldemar Nordeck. It is masterpiece of dramatic characterize tion; clear in conception: just in proportion and charming in it's artistic finish and com pleteness. He has surrounded himself with !. capable actors and actresses, who succeed admirably in Interpreting the authors"

j. Simpson Africa.

j. Simpson Africa, who was selected
as the candidate for the Office Of Secre-
tary of Internal Affairs, was born in
the town of Huntingdon, which is still
his home, on September 15, 1882. He
is descended from Revolutionary stock
through the Simpsons, of Bucks, and
Murrays, of Lancaster. He was edu-
Gated at the Huntingdon Academy and
after completing his studies there he
adopted the profession Of surveyor ard
civil engineer, ,and has since then devot-
ed his entire time Except when engag-
ed in public dutieS) to his profession,
and was first employed as civil engin-
eer in the location of the Broad Top
Railroad. In 1861 he was electedCour-
ty Surveyor of Huntingdon county on
the Democratic ticket oyer the nominee
Of the Whig party, and seryed until
1857. He served rs one OF the:Clerks in
the Senate during the sessions of 1858
and 1859. In October, 80, he was elect
ed to theHouSe of Representatives oyer
the Republican nominee. He was sew
eral times elected Burgess of his native
borough and is identified with the lead
ing business enterprises there. In May.
1915, he was appointed by Gen. Me
ClndleSS Deputy Secretary Of Internal
affairs, and upon him fell the labor of
organizing the new Department of IN
ternal Affairs created by the COnstitu-
tion of 1878 He gave the duties of the
office his undivided attention. In May,
1878, he was nominated as Gen. Nc
CandleSS' successor by the Democratic
Convention, receiving l56 votes TO 81
for two other candidates. HIS Repub-
lican opponent, who was elected to the
office in November of that year, was
Colonel Aaron X. Dunkel, of philadel
phia, but Mr.. Africa led his ticket by
from 4 900 to II 900 votes. In Feb 1850,
Mr.. Hayes appointed him Supervisor of
the Census foc the Seventh district of
PENNSYLVANIA, IN office for the duties
of which he was peculiarly qualified. In
June, 1882, he was again placed Oh the
Democratic ticket for the office of Sec
retary of Internal Affairs by acclama-
tion, and this time he was elected
through the Republican disSensions
which carried PattiSon and the whole
Democratic ticket through. Mr.. Afri-
cas- DISCHARGE of his official duties have
been pamstaking and Conscientious
from first 10 last, and he thoroughly
understands the duties of an office Of
which he was practically the creator.

Maxwell Stevenson.

Maxwell Stevenson, who was nomin-
ated for Congressman at-Large, was
born on February l, 1917, near Lon
donderry, Ireland, of that Scotch-Irish
stock noted for its energy and ability.
He was brought to Philadelphia in De-
cember, 1851, when not quite five years
old, and been a resident there ever
since. His early struggles for advance
ment were untiring and severe, but no
more striking than thousands Of 9TH
ers. He left school between the ages of
i and Is, after reaching the class in
Jackson Grammer School preparatory
to the High School. During the years
of 1859 and 1860 he was engaged in
hard, unremitting work on the truck
farms of the Neck 1861 he obtained
work as an errand boy in shoe store.
A year later he bought the outfit of a
news stand. In connection with this
business he got the right to canvass for
subscribers to the Euen,ng Telegraph,
and so satisfactorily was his work that
Mr.. Charles E. Warburton, the pro-
prietor, without regard to the b)v's
youth unhestati giy and generously
assigned to him an important newspa'
per territory. Soon after this he
bought 'schorlarship' in a business
college and devoted himself to securing
a thorough business training. He rap
idly improved his mind and from then
until 1873 was employed as bookkeepar
by several firms. In all of these years
Stevenson'S ambition was to become a
lawyer. and to that end he had already,
in 1870, registered as a student with E.
Coppee Mitchell, afterwards transferr-
Ing it to the late Judge /. l.. Pratt,
and on October 81, 1874, after highly
creditable examination, was admitted
to the Lar, being at that time some
what over 81 years Of age. Since his
admission to the bar his life has been
we'll known to the public. His fist
public interest in the labor movement
was as it's unanimously chosen candi.
date for Congress In the First District.
1t was hoped that the Democrats
would also nominate him, but the nom
ination in the convention was lost to
him by a majority of only ten votes.
In this canvas, without an inside Off
Ger, with both organization bitterly
opposed TO him, he made plucky fight
getting a count of nearly 1900 votes.
He has ever been an active Democrat
from conviction, but deeply in symDa-
thy with every movement for the ad
vancement of labor everywhere. And
that no man should charge that his in :
terests in the great struggle of labor
for recognition was prompted by mer-
oenary or selfish motiv es. he has abso-
lutely refused compe sation for any
services rendered to any properly iden-
titled member of organized labor.
