Another Hat Store Where il is Needed

For years it has been an open question
why some of our enterprisinc merchants did
not open nat and fur store on Congress-
street. At last it is to be done. The Somers
Bros. have leased the store 459 Congress 81
Clapp's Block, and have fitted IL elegantly
ana are 70 open next Thursday with one of
the fnest line of furs and hats that Portland
mas ever seen. They propose to sell their
goods at very small profit believing that
eley can do more business and have their
proht column foot up larger at the end of
the year by selling their goods with small
margin. They have just returned from New
York with an elegant assortment of seal, OF
ter beaver, nutria, lynx, raccoon, skunk
sable, coney. hare and all other kinds of furs
in the market. They also have the trim
mings of the above skins. The have every
advantage in the way of repairing garments,
and putting on fur collars and cuffs on gen.
tlenmen's coats. They have full line of
hats, and propose to sell them at such prices
that will insure them the best trade in Port
land.
Somers Bros. open this store under the
most favorable circumstances, a store has
been needed up town. They saw the def
cheney and embraced it. The Somers family
is family of hatters. There are five of
them in the family that have served
their apprenticeship at the hatters' bench
two of them have their stores on Middle
street. The other three now open this new
store on Congress street, and have every
reason to expect the same luck in business
as their brothers. They are practical men in
every sense of the word, and are sure to
have their expectations realized. How han
dy it is for the promenaders of Congress
street to avoid going down to Middle street
by simply stepping into the new store and
buying their hats. The ladies will find
complete stock of furs in every shade The
prices OF furs will be lower than others. This
firm is composed of smart, energetic Port
land boys, and we predict for them brilliant
trade. To ensure their success, and to con-
vince the public that they mean to sell cheap,
they have inaugurated the cash system in
the hat business in Portland. Anybody pur-
chasing hat from this firm must pay cash.
In that way they will have no bad bills at
the end of the year. and of course can sell
their goods cheaper, for it must be under
stood that the credit system has compelled
the man that pays cash for his hat to help
pay some of the bills that have been trusted
out. We think it very wise conclusion as
they can then sell their hats much cheaper
than others, and still, with the same bust
ness. make more money. How much better
1t would be if all of our business men would
follow the same example.

THE STORM.

The heavy gale of Saturday night and We s.
terday strewed the streets in some parts Of
the city with lsmall branches broken from
the trees. Fences were blown down in one
or two instances, and signs and awnings suf-
feTed somewhat, but no serious damage is
reported.
In the harbor there was high sea yester-
day forenoon. Several row boats were seen
adrift, and sail boat in Custom House
wharf dock was capsized. The fishing fleet
was out in the storm, but the few arrivals
during the day brought no accounts of disas-
Ter. The steamer Empress, moored at Port
land bridge, broke partially from her fasten-
ings, and swung around until she headed up
the harbor Along the Cape shore the
waves ran very high early in the day, but
suDsided later. Trees were blown down in
the vicinity of the city by the force of the
wind

Maine Water Gas Co, and lnsur.
ance Rates

The question of safely in using the Maine
Water Gas Co.'S process and the effect upon
Insurance rates where the gas was desired
have been frequently referred to by investi-
gators. After great deal of time and labor
by the committee of experts from the New
England Insurance Exchange that body
voted on Saturday to grant the permission
recommended by the committee, to allow the
use of not to exceed ten gallons of oil in a
carburator in connection with the Maine
Water Gas Company's process, without af.
fecting the rates of insurance; having be-
come convinced of its perfect safety and hav-
ing confidence in the management of the
company. The permission is based on speci.
fications filed by the manager with the Ex-
change. The Company are now ready for
business on any scale and will at once put on
a large force. of artizans to complete the or
ders already in hand which amount to about
one hundred machines.

Aid for Poor Children.

Mr.. Charles L. Fox wishes to thank the
kindness of the donors of aims collected at
his recent exhibition at the Art Rooms, in
the name of those who received it. The sum
obtained was $12.22 and is destined to the
children Of the poor and of those persons
who gain their living as models for painters,
whom charitable societies do not reach and
who are too proud to beg for themselves.
The amount is not great but so vitality useful
as to represent more than double the sum.
To artists employing models the occasion is
often presented where little money may go
far, even save q life

morning Maxwell bore up we'll under
his long continued trial and with the
exception of an increase of nervousness
and evident anxiety, his appearance
has not changed materially since the
opening of the case. He watches the
jury carefully and whenever strong
point in his favor is presented by his
counsel he scans the ftces critically for
its effect, and VIXEN he is represented
by the prosecution as the blackest of
criminals, he searches critically :or

Mr.. Fountleroy will be followed by

not fined. Recorder Smith in sentencing
Most expressed deep regret that the
law did not permit him to impose a
heavier sentence. His crime he said,
deserved the punishment awarded to
capital crime. He also told him he
was the greatest scoundrel he had ever
seen at the bar. Bronchweig, the
recorder said, was almost equally
guilty. Schenck, he thought, was a
dupe of his companion, but he de-
served punishment to warn him and
others against following the teaching
