There is small gang of about half
dozen boys who like all bad boys can
make themselves seem very numerous,
who run aroun1 the streets after dark
making nuisances of themselves. Some
of this gang render themselves particu-
LARRY obnoxious by indulging in loud OBJ
scenity on the streets, in the vicinity of
dwellings and the hotels. Their parents
may take warning by this as it is the in
tention to apply the law to these boys.
Marcus Loeb, the leading clothier,
speaks of having had such a success in
offering his winter clothing at reduc-
ton of 10 per cent, that he now feels
like giving those wishing to procure
real bargain a chance to buy a suit at
New York cost. He does not believe in
packing away and holding any goods for
another season, but all his winter
clothing in mems, youths and boys
goods must go, no matter at what price.
His spring stock is arriving daily and to
be in time we notice samples of straw
hats in his window. Loeb is always up
to the time and well deserves to be pat
ronized.
