ed thousands Of people to the big win
dow of local clothier. The window is
elaborately set with handsome suits of
clothing.
In the centre Of the window stands
the figure Of boy with his hands Oh
barrel, apparently fillel to overhowing
with silver dollars, meant to represent
the amount of money saved by the peo-
pie in purchasing the firms so suits.
About the barrel are three urDs filled
with halves, quarters and dimes, re-
presenting the value of the discounts
made in purchasing the firms goods.
On every suit Of clothes is the price,
not marked with the old fashioned card
board label, but the amount of the cost
of the suit in cash, thus a 81 boys suit
has two 81 bills pinned to it, while
SIC mans suit has a SO, 50 and 81 bill
attached.
The display is causing no little COM

have probably never seen so much money

Western Pullman car after having re

The passenger obtained the address of
the chef, and on arriving in this city
paid him visit, accompanied by u rep
resentative for the Mad dHd E5prtA,.
The Frenchman was willing to show the
visitors through his premises, but de
clined to give the recipes for the prcpara
tion of his soups. a building four stories
i'll height is used for the business, the
upper floor being the kitchen or soup
making room. Here twenty employees
were mt work cutting up meat, chickens.

various soups in larga kettles, or pour

was weighed
The tin cans are made on the third
floor Il the building from bright tin
plates, which are cut up and shaped by
machinery. The kitchen where the soups
We're made was, on the day of the unex-
pected visit, a model of cleanliness, as
was also every vessel used in the prepar-
alton of the delicacies. After the cans
are tillel they are, while the contents
are still hot. hermetically sealed by ma
chinery at the rate of 5000 day. These
cans vary in size from one plate of soup
to enough for party of half dozen.
After sealing, the cans are sent to the
vanishing and labelling rooms. About
n dozen more employees are engaged in
this work, which, although done bv
hand, is nearly as rapidly performed as
the sealing. The cans are then ready
for packing in cases to he sent to the
different railroads, which work is done
on the second story.
The proprietor said that when about
twenty months ago he undertook the
preparation of soups so that they could
be readily used Mt n distance, he had
only one small room for the work and
four assistants, including his son, two
girls and a boy. But the business had
so increased that he now employed
nearly fifty persons, and yet could hardly
keep ahead of his orders, rs the fancy
grocers were now desirous of adding his
preparations to their lists of time-saying
delicacies.

SHOOTING THE CASCADES.
The PcrilOus Run Of a Steamboat
on the Columbia River.

All was now in readiness, and hush
of breathless expectancy hung over the
great crowds that lined both sides of the
river and blsckened every available point
of lookout. Not n word was spoken.
and nothing was heard but the loud
roaring of the angry, seething, tumbling
mass of waters, tearing over the rock
ribbed channel.
Six loud, sharp whistles were given
from the locomotive as a signal to the
Hassalo that all was ready. These Wig
Orous, shrill notes were heard above the
thunder of the crashing waters. Capt.
James w. Troup was not slow in respond
ing to the signal. He gave six whistles
and tapped the engineers gong. A
moment later the Hassalo's wheel was
seen beating the water into foam. She
moved gracefully from the wharf, swung
round deliberately, Just as if she was
going to make a smooth, quiet, little
trip. Interest now became intense, and
thousands of eyes were bent with
strained tension on the steamboat. Now
she backed behind the little island mid
way of the channel, swung clear, and
steadied herself for the fearful plunge.
TUT u tilt ibit SttUlct W
halt, like an eagle poising for a long and
lofty flight, then, with her sharp and
glistening prov AIMED ut the great roar
ing breach, she shot toward the green,
rolling masses. From siiore to shore
the first line of the rapids stretched like
a Gordon of breakers, and thundered like
the tumultuous surf. With full head
of steam, the Hassalo entered the upper
break in the waters, and here receiving
the first impulse of the mighty current.
made a plunge that thrilled the crowd
as if touched by an electric shock.
"Therc she goes" exclaimed q thous-
and voices, in low, subdued tones.
Crossing the break the steamboat rose
pointing her bow upward at a sharp
angle, and then blindly plunged down
ward as if going to the bottom. but she
came up with the buoyany OF a cork, and
now having committed herself to the
mercy of the rapids, flew with the speed
Of an arrow through and over tho surg
ing, boiling waters.
Less than thirty seconds elapsed from
the time the Hassalo entered the crest Of
the rapids until she had passed from
view around the abrupt bend i'll the
river, going with tremendous rate OF
speed. SO quick were therapids shot that
the feat was accomplished almost before
the crowds could realise it. After pass
ing from view the steamboat flew down
the shining course at locomotive speed,
and never paused in her wild career nm
til the Lower Cascades were reached.
This distance was made in less than
seven minutes. Capt. Troup deserves
great credit for the cool, steady aDd

the passage WAS male at the lowest
stage ever made 10y any other boat, ex-
cept the Okanogan, many years ago.
