A SUCCESSFUL sCOTCHMAN.

How William Torrance Moved Up
Into the Front Rank---His New
Store.
Three years ago. when William Tor
rance opened mems furnishing store
at the corner of Seventh and Cedar,
with view to attracting the better
class of trade, many of mis- friends con-
sidered his chances for success ex-
tremely small. But like the average
ScOtchman, who always thinks for him.
self and acts accordingly, Mr.. Torrance
went ahead, and in few months built
up a large, profitable business in
medium and fine goods. This
was not accomplished in the ordinary
way, however. Prices on all staple ar
ticleS were scaled down to very small
profit; every item of expense that could
possibly be avoided was done away
with: the proprietor did nearly all his
own work, and devoted every moment
of his time to it; no purchaser was ever
allowed to be dissatisfied. 1t was not
long before Mr.. Torrance had secured a
steady patronage from business men,
who appreciate the advantages of deal
ing at such house.
Some time ago Mr.. Torrance an
nounced that he was obliged to move,
and began reducing stock. The room
recently vacated by Karl SimmOn at
Fourth and JacksOn-One of the busiest
corners in the city-was secured, en-
tirely refitted, and yesterday the place
was thrown open for business. and pro-
nOunced by all who made it a visit the
most elegant establishment of the kind in
the city. The woodwork is of solid ma
hogany. The hat cabinets and mirrors

and reflect much credit on the skill of
Mr.. Botsford, of the Taylor d Craig
company, who designed and superin-
tended the work. Half a dozen long,
high counter cases are filled with an
endless assortment of those articles
necessary to the makeup of we'll
dressed gentleman. Everything from
a collar button to an embroidered night
shirt may be seen in these cases.
Mr.. Torrance said. in substance. to
the reporter that he proposed to handle
only the finer goods. and that special
effort would be made to have travelling
men make his place headquarters. Mr..
Torrance was many years on the road,
rily kind feeling for ''the boys."l
Such goods as Wilson Bros
shirts. Earl & Wilson's collars and cuffs,
and Fisk, Clark & Flagg's neckwear
and gloves will be made speciality, and
always be kept in stock. In hats, the
very best makes, in all the new shades
and the latest blocks, will be carried.
The line of summer hats now in stock
is attractive and complete.
Mr. Torrance was kept busy yeSter-
day shaking hands and receiving the
congratulations of his host of friends,
who were very profuse in their compli-
ments on the appearance of the new
store

CASUAL COMMENT.

A cnlOred man, wearing brown vel
veteen coat, SLOUGH hat, and pantaloons
of some dark material, attracted con-
siderable attention on Third street yes
terday afternoon. But it was not his at
tile, but an attachment to his left wrist
that caused notice to be taken of him.
In his left hand he bore small strong
box, through the paddock of which was
a chain, and this was in turn fastened
to handcuff the same as policemen
use. He was bank messenger, and
this continuance was not to indicate
that he was prisoner, but to prevent
the box of funds from being snatch ed
out of his hand by some daring thief.
An intoxicated individual, Stretche d
out on the grassy bank in the rear of
the Minnesota club house yesterday
afternoon, was rudely awakened from
his Slumber by the scorching rays of the

by mother earth, he yawned, fumbed in
his pockets for some loose change, and
muttered: "Oh, we'll; I'll say l have
just been down to the club"

GLOBE man of the postmaster yester-

With the perspiration streaming from
