Numerous examples of this prevail
in our stock. The one feature that
most readily suggests itself to us
now, is the varied shapes into which
our garments are cut. The old, slow
going traders contented themselves
with one shape. Now we have three,
and we were the first to introduce
them. The fat man at one time had
no provision made for himself. If
he bought a suit of clothes ready
made, the chances are that he had
to have the coat shortened at the
sleeves and collar shortened, even
II the coat itself were not too long;
the vest let out in the waist and
taken up in the neck, with numerous
alterations In the pants. The man
built on the other extreme had also
his tribulations, in degree, If not in
kind. Now We provide for men of
every shape, the rotund, the elon.
gated and the proportionate figure.
All can be fitted with us.

The special Delivery service.


Said Postmaster lIarrity Of Philadelphia
to a reporter Of the Herald Of that city:
"The reason the special delivery service is
declining is because It is really In a crude
state. There is no doubt but what the sys
TEN is an excellent one, but those who Gre
ated 1t did not provide for severel import
ant features. For instance, there is no pro-
vision made for the collecting of the letters
from the street boxes. A man might drop
letter In box Immediately after the car
rier has visited IT. consequently, 1t would
remain there until the next collection
Should such circumstance occur
in the vicinity OF Broad and
Columbia avenues 1t would likely
stay there about three hours.
There is nothing rapid about that. Then,
again, suppose a special delivery letter ar
rives here from Pittsburg. 1t is sent out
Immediately, and the messenger finds the
store closed. There are many other circum-
stances such as these that attend the service
as 1t exists to-day that induces the people
to do away with 1t and use other methods
to have their messages delivered In an expe-
ditious manner. Until an appropriation Is
made to make 1t possible for half-hour
collection from street boxes the system will
not be popular or useful.n

Mr.. MOBILES LECTURES.

Mr.. William Noble, of London,
gave two more addresses, in differ
ent places, on Saturday, and several
on Sunday. In the evening a union
meeting filed Fort Street Church to
hear the eloquent speaker. A COM
bnation of the choirs of that and
the Bethel Union church, directed
by Mr.. j. w. Yarndley, led the
musical exercises, while Rev. 4. c.
Oggel assisted Rev. j. A. Cruzan in
conducting the devotions.
Mr.. Noble began by supposing that
very few of the audience had not
heard sermon on the Prodigal Son,
whose story had just been read from
the desk; yet he was going to give
a little talk on that old, old story.
1t was the custom nowadays to mis-
quote Scripture, so that it was often
stated, in connection with the Pro-
digaPs return, that "they began to
eat, and drink, and be merry"
whereas the work "drink" was not
in the narrative at all and he was
thankful for it. How many prodi-
gals there are in social sense, he
remarked, stating in instance that
every quarter dollar paid in Homo
lulu for injurious beverages would
buy two quarts of milk for those
depending on the buyer. A great
many did not stop at one quarter S
worth of liquor, while many families
did not get two quarts of milk q
day. Where did the money thus
worse than wasted 90 to? He was
not acquainted with Hawaiian statis-
tics on the subject, but in England
it was ascertained that of the amount
expended in liquor, six or seven
percent only went to the laboring
classes. But if the money is taken
to the clothing stores, over fifty
percent of it finds its way into the
labor market. If he had the Knights
of Labor there, he would tell them
that there was greater question
even than the rights of labor.
The speaker then proceeded to
apply the lesson of the ProdigaP S
return to his fathers home, present
ing in very striking, epigrammatic
language the necessity of sinners
coming down to the situation Of that
character if they would receive
pardon from the Heavenly Father
"When a man is done quibbling,

LOSS OF THE S. S. OREGON.

The schooner j. A. Hamilton
brought one days later news from
San Francisco this morning. The
steamship Oregon, of the Quion
line, sunk near New York harbor
March l4th. The German steamer
Florida from Bremen, which arrived
off New York bar at 5:25 p. NJ. that
day, reports that she stopped off
Fire Island at 1871 p. NJ. in order
to take up the passengers and crew
of the Oregon. All were rescued,
numbering 1855 first-class, sc second,
3S9 Storage and 25 crew. The
Oregon had been run into by an
unknown and deeply-laden three
masted schooner at 1920 A. NJ, be-
tween Fire Island light and Shinno-
cock, the schooner striking the
steamer on the port side imme-
diately under the dining room
saloon and tearing large hole in
her below water. Boats were lowered
and all on board transferred to the
German steamer, the Oregon going
down at / o'clock. Ninety-six bags
of mail were saved out of 600, but
all the baggage was lost. The pas
sengers were thrown in great confu-
sion by the accident. The Inflated
vessel was built by John Elder &
Co., Glasgow, for the above line,
being launched on June 2lst, 1888.
Her length was 500 feet, "a feet
beam, depth of hold 40a feet, and
her gross measurement was 1880

THE TREATY.

Congressman Mills, of Texas, said
to the San Francisco Chronicle cor
respondent on March 18th that he
would ask the Committee on Ways
and Means to take up the bill to
ahrogate the Hawaiian Reciprocity
Treaty on Friday. AS chairman of
the subcommittee that had the mat
ter under consideration he is anxious
to have the matter settled at once.
Hewitt, of New York, said,
''There is no doubt the bill will
pass the House." He also stated
that the Committee on Ways and
Means refused to allow him to bring
up the bill providing for reciprocity
with Mexico, and he is convinced
that the measure would not get into
the House this session.
