TIM strikers of the Lake Shore
Railroad, Illinois, were brought to a
stand by large number of police and
detectives, all armed with Winchester
rifles. We thought that strikes were
about ended, and men were willing to
work, but there are a number of indi-
viduals who would not be contented if
they had the Garth The boycotters
are not so frequent Just now. The
courts of equity have placed damper
on their proceedings. Now we are
willing and anxious to see the work
ingman have his just and proper
rights. They should not be denied
him. No man should ask or expect a
man to labor for fun. With the ma
joTity Of us it is a struggle from the
cradle to the grave to get that little
what man needs We ask Justice
to all.

want the person who uses my
embroideries satisfied. Ishall
hear Of it"
He went on his travels in
searchof a system of bleaching
that would whiten a pile Of
waxed soiled thread without in
juring the delicate fabric it
was wrought upon. To make
a long story short, he found
it at Nottingham, England.
John Renals, the leading bleach
er there, against all the tradi-
tons of Englishmen, made him
welcome, supplied the plant for
a proper bleachery and went
over to Switzerland himself to
see it started.
Hurrah for John Renals ! "a
year or two or three ago we
got together and printed all we
knew about Grape andsentit to
Courtauld, whose Grape we sell;
and we asked politely: please
tell us whatever more you are
willing the public should know
and what do you think they
told us? Substantially None
of your business!" They other
day we made a like request
about that English waterproof
serge. Themaker' srepresent-
alive wouldn't utter a word, not
a world So afraid Of letting
their secrets out! Hurrah for
John Renals, the Nottingham
bleacher.
And SO by one mans persist
ence and another's generous
hospitality the Swiss embroid-
ery-industry got its foot-hold
and you the advantage we tell
you of to-day.
Before the day of the Swiss
machines a similar embroidery
was made by hand, one firm in
Scotland employing more than
a hundred-thouand WON en-
making it. This stopped that
by putting prices down below
the reach ofhand-work. Scotch
women have turned to some
else. Swiss machines have
taken their places in embroid-
cry. Prices have dropped to
less than half,
1t seems to us a happy hit to
get the man who has had SC
much to do with creating the
embroidery-industry in his own
country to embroider for you.
And we can't forget those
words of his about the straight
forward dealing andlooking moi
to merchants but to consumers.
We shall think ofhis bleaching
and how it came about. We
shall look for like perfection al
through his work.
We have taken over his
whole American stock of Ham
burg embroideries. This is
what we are going to sell foi
so little. We are giving you
early notice too early to &C
into particulars. Wait one
day.

A stroke in Hamburg en-
broideries, one that means a
great deal more than that which
lately stretched our counters in
every direction and kept them
two or three times full for a
week.
The occasion now is a little
like that in so far as we're go
ing to sell below value. 1t is
unlike that in so far as that
was a clearing of remnants;
while now we begin with a
large fresh wholesale stock; un-
like in another wayne are
looking forward not backward.
We see a better embroidery
trade than we have ever had
in sight or in mind. We must
tell you how.
In the midst Of the season,
withall our arrangements made
beforehand, we have under
taken this additional enterprise.
What could we say to give it
more Importance? The man
we ought to have met some
years ago is the man. His
goods are the goods. Well
tell the whole story Of how it
comes about.
A Swiss embroidery manu-
facturer-he it was who spoke
that sentence we quoted the
other day: Straightforward
dealing is the highest business
intelligence what a man he
must be to have made it, You
shall hear what he did in his
business years ago.
The bleaching of Hamburg
embroideries wasn't satisfacto
ry. They were either yellow
or rotten or both. The fault
was in bleaching. The EN-
broidery-thread is waxed anc
more orless soiled. The piled
up threads required a severity
ofbleaching that threatened the
fabric. Could the proper white
be got without impairing the
strength of the stuff? The
Swiss bleacherS said mo- anC
the industry stood in danger
The value of Hamburg EN-
broidery lies in its strength
If it isn't strong, what then
Again its decorative availabilit,
lies in its being a part of the
5 garment it is made to adorn
fit differs in shade of white
{ what then? The practicability
r of the whole business depend
? ed on getting as good a bleacl
on Hamburg embroideries a
l it got on muslins and cambria
Y and other white cottons. TIL,
Swiss bleachers said it couldn'
> be done. The Swiss embriod

c. d. Graham, youngcooper ofPhila-

studying the Whirlpool rapids, in which
Captain Webb was killed. Graham in
tends to 90 through the rapids in a bar
rel which he has already built, 1t is egg
shaped and very strong, the occupant
being protected by Il bag-shaped ham
mock.
TIE principal difficulty will be in get
ting air, although Graham expects no
trouble on that score. He has spent sew
eral sundays making experimental trials
with barrels weighted with sand, and he
says they have been successful Eight
minutes suiliced for the passage of one
from the suspension bridge to the whirl-
pool, the barrel being uniniurcd, accord

SEVERAL weeks ago we made editor
ial mention OF the working Of the
telephone between this town and
Philadelphia, saying that it was ''prac-
tically useless" On Monday we were
called upon by Manager Mahafey of
the Wilmington Exchange, and he
gave us some interesting points in re-
lation to the cause. He said there had
been considerable difficulty exper-
fenced heretofore in talking through
the phone even between Wilmington
and Philadelphia, as well as from this
town, but within the past week he
has made some experiments which
proved very successful, and that now
very little difficulty would be en-
eomtered He also informed us that
there was an experiment being made
at the Control Office in Philadelphia,
between that point and New York, by
means of what is called metallic cir.
cult. Tho experiment is giving good
results. Mr.. Mahaffy said he tested
the working of the metallic circuit,
and so easy was it that he lowered his
voice almost to whisper, so easily
was the sound transmitted. The me
tallic circuit is effected by the use Of
two wires instead of one as now used.
We were very glad Manager Mahaffey
called and we can assure him that we
feel very kindly disposed toward the
telephone, and will hail with delight
every device that may be added that
will render them still more selviceable
The opinions of the Peninsula press
ON the Temperance Reform party was
encouraging in some instances and
others rather discouraging. The Re.

own candidates and party interests tc
look after, and they did not speak
very encouraging of the new party
Ii the Democratic party only places
as good men on the ticket, there will
be no danger, says one paper, sol

with the Democratic party to nomi
