Keep Off the Crossing, for
the Bargain Train
is Coming.
Look Out When the
Bell Rings,
See the Rich Prizes the
Misfit Clothing Par
Tors Are Offering.

Seasons come and seasons go, and
the time for thin and new clothing
is at hand. Although the Misfit
Clothing Parlors have not talked
much through the newspapers during
the past month, we have been re-
markedly busy. We have enlarged
and improved our accommodations
for displaying goods. We have es-
tablished purchasing agencies.in new
cities, and sought by every means
possible to offer our customers better
bargains than we ever offered before.
We have succeeded because the way
to win success is to work for it.
We are receiving new goods almost
daily, and already have on hand a
magnificent assortment Of goods.
We can show all the latest styles and
newest fabrics.
For the large patronage bestowed
upon us we feel very thankful. The
beat way to win patronage is to de-
serve it. 1t is our great facilities for
getting fine tailoy-made clothing so
low that enables us To offer it at such
very cheap rates. Cheap buying is
the secret Of low prices, and al
though our goods are the finest in
the world, they actually cost us less
than we would have to pay for in
ferior ready-made clothing,
Please give us a call. We are
proud Of our spring stock and want
you to inspect it whether you want
to buy or not.
Remember, all alterations to i'm
prove a fit done free of charge by
first-class tailors in our Parlors.

THE WHITE HOUSE PA cKED.

A ReceRtfon so the EuBlie Which
 Lasted Until Nearly Midnight.
 WASHINGTON, June 1S.-The public re- ception tonight by President and Mrs. Cleve
 land brought an immense crowd to the exec utive mansion. In point of numbers the re- ception was the largest ever given. The decorations in the eapacious East room and in the parlors were if anything more elabor
 ate than at Tuesdays State reception. The same palms and plants and ferns adorned the lower rooms of the mansion as on that occasion, but the nantala had been banked with flowers, while here and there additional flowers and potted plants have been placed in the windows, inches and corners. Long before 9p. m., the hour at which the recep- tion began, long line of people three or four abreast extending out beyond the gates of the mansion grounds and far down Penn sy1vania avenue were waiting patiently for the time of admission. At 9 o'clock the doors were opened and the people began fl- ing past the President and his wife in the Blue room. Many on their way out loitered in the East room, which was soon dense- ly thronged. There were all sorts qf people in the crow9-White ana eoiored, old apd young, men and women, girls and boys
 Many people came in carriages and their oc cupants tired of waiting for an opportunity to gain an entrance turned sway, The night Was eeei and the best of order, de eorum and humor- prevailed in the mansion notwithstanding the crush When eleven o'clock came-the hour fixed for closing the reception-there was large crowd yet outside and tha President and N IS. Cleveland consented to remain and shak, hands. It was within few minutes
 of m alright when they shook hands with and bade the last visitor good night. Over 1 fouF thousand people paid their respects to the President and his wife during the night
