the House In which he sustains the veto. He
SAYS the effect of the bill would be to give the
claimant $50 per month more than the sum al
lowed by the general law that it is not alleged
that the widow needs an increase, and that
the committee has barely tolerated the increase
of pensions of widows of officers 1t is also
true that the claimants application for the legal
rate of pension has been allowed by the Pension
Office A minority report signed by the Re-
publican members of the committee, requests
the passage of the bill over the veto, holding
that it has been the invariable practice to pen
sion. at $50 per month, widows of officers of rank
similar to that held by General Hunter; that
the President has signed number OF such bills
during this session (aside from the case of Gen.
Hancocks widow, and that there is no reason for

eI feel more as if my head was busted,
said Gillhooly. II have had too much vaca-
ton this year, already"
Too much, even of good thing, is good
for nothing.
A fine mixed Cashmere Suit (cheap at $1O)
we sell now for So.
Others worth $12 we sell at $50.
Some at $18 we cut right in two for SO.
We think this is not too much of good
thing, but just about good enough! Original
ly we bought these goods very cheap in left
over fabrics, which other manufacturers had
to cease running on to turn their attention to
the heavier weights.
Being manufacturers ourselves we turned
these goods into clothes quickly-and here
they are!
But, more than this, the lines get broken,
and, taking the odd lots (being wholesale job
bers as we'll as manufacturers), we cut prices
on them as we have shown. There is no
''hocus pocusD about it, and we tell you thus
frankly in order that you may see why we can
make prices below all competition in this
market.
