Visit TO z. r. Little's Dry Goods Store
A Big Enterprise Which Deserves sue


We happened to stroll into z. f. Little's
large dry goods house yesterday, and found
the spacious store thronged with customers.
although rainy and unpropitious day, it be-
ing the commencement of his annual fall
opening. The chief and grandest attractions
were the nicely arranged show windows On
the right as you enter the store, in the largest
window, which is 30 feet long, were displayed
rich dress goods costly and e.egant silks,
brocade and striped velvets of various de-
signs and colorings, and tastily placed were
several exquisite novelties in ladies' and
misses wraps and jackets. On the left the
other commodious show window presented
pleasing display of gents furnishing goods.
The interior If the store was also decorated
suitably for the occasion. Among the differ
ent departments which we visited was the
upholstery and lace curtain which was one of
the most inviting and presented neat and
busines like appearance. The garment de-
partment was none the less attractive. The
carpet hail. one of the largest and finest in the
State, presented the same metropolitan ap.
pearance. In making this comment we have
only mentioned a few of the chief attractions
which caught our eyes as we passed hastily
through. There are twenty-seven depart
ments presided over By efficient and accom-
modating statesmen and sale ladies. 1t would
well repay one to visit one of Names largest
and model establishments.

The Sacramento Bee publishes an inter-
view with Michael Davitt on the SUBJECT OF
the pamphlet issued by the English Loyal
ond Patriotic Union on the "Status OF Irish

Mr.. Davitt says that the arguments ad-

draws marked attention to the great depreeia-

greater advantages of tenure than others 40.
He says that the facts and figures wnicn

tations made in the pamphlet, and VIII es-
tablish the truth of his charges against tne

The United States Treasury,
with a view of putting into imme-
-diate circulation a large amount of
money now necessary in moving
crops and otherwise stimulating
business, has issued an order that
interest on the four and a half per
cent. bonds due on December first
will be. paid, without rebate, on
presentation of the coupons at any
sub-treasury, and, also, that inter
est on the four per cent. bonds fall
ling due in January, will be paid
Immediately, upon a rebate at the
rate of three per cent. per annum.
This action releases some ten mil
lions of dollars, now held by the
Government, without use, and as
part of large surplus, and puts
it into active circulation.
