An Opportunity for the People oil
Rising Sun,

In Baltimore one of the most rapidly growing
enterprises OF the last few years. aud one of the
most appreciated as well has been the Instalment
Business. Its great advantage and benefits espec.
tally TO the medium and poorer classes cannot be
oyerestimated. Formerly people in ordinary cir
cumstances were compelled to do without prea [
many necessary comforts of life; that is, their
houses were scantily furnished, and only because
they could not at any time raise sufficient cash
money to properly furnish them. What little fur
niture they had, was of the poorest and cheapest
class and never made respectable appearance or
gave any satisfaction. Now on the Instalment
Plan any honest person. no matter what his or her
circumstances are. no matter hew poor or how
rich, they can get anything in the way of Furni
ture, Carpets, Stoves, Crockery, Refrigerators
Baby Carriages, Parlor Organs, etc., in fact any or
everything necessary To furnish the Home COM
plete from cellar to attic.-they can get all these
by simply paying small amount cash down and
the balance on small monthly payments. which
are made to suit their circumstances and are al
ways made so low that the money will hardly be
missed. This plan has become SO popular in ali
the larger cities that over two-thirds OF all the
people now purchase their household goods that
way;--in fact all except the extreme wealthy class
es. Now the people of Rising Sun never have had
this opportunity offered them. so the Peoples
1nstalment Company, 1l9 and 119 Ia N. Howard
Street. between Fayette and Lexington Sts Balti-
more, the largest and best conducted and most
reliable Instalment house in Baltimore, have de-
cided to allow any resident of Rising Sun or i'm
mediate vicinity. the same advantage as the pee
pie of Baltimore now enjoy that is to sell them
anything which they may desire to have on the
ihstaimeht ran at lowest cash prices and make
terms of payments low enough to suit any ones
convenience. This House not only sells every.
thing in the way of Furniture Carpets, stoves
Refrigerators, Baby Carriages. Crockery, Cutlery
House FURNISHING Goods. Parlor Organs, ETC.. but
also carries a complete stock of Silks, Yelyets
Foreign and Domestic Dress Goods, Ladies Cloaks
and Wraps. Millinery, Gents. Youths, Boys and
Children's Clothing, Shoes. Hats. Watches. Jewell
ry, etc;-in fact they are general outfitters and
are the only House in Baltimore where wearing ap-
parel as well as furniture too. can be bought on
m anf N nf Drin aud,
terms of payment. This House will always be
glad to have the people of Rising Sun call on them
whether they intend purchasing or not, will be
glad to have them look through their immense
Warehouse and get full particulars regarding
Terms. etc. Any information desired by mail will
be promptly furnished. mch23Sm

LAYING low the Forests.

Geo. Ell. Zarr has purchased So
acres of wood land from Isaac Eng.
land near Singerly Station on the
B. o. The timber on the land will
be cut into bill stuff railroad ties
&c. requiring six months perhaps to
accomplish the work. The Waring
mandatory works purchased a
tract recently in the neighborhood
of Colora aud are rapidly denuding
it of its timber. These whole sale
cuttings destroy most of the young
thrifty timber as well as the old, ripe
trees. Anything large enough to
make a railroad tie is demolished.
This process is rapidly destroying
the remnants of forests which are
left, and the floods are becoming
more violent, the extremes of tenn
perature more sudden. severe and
frequent. Timber like grain is for
mans use but he should be prevented
from destroying it, even though the
on which it grows belongs to him
land in fee simple. Trees under a
certain girth gagged by the species,
should not be CUT and the state
shouldltake in hand forest culture,
and pay bonus to farmers who plant
and cultivate forest timber groves
European Countries have been com.
PEELED to establish such forest regu
lations and America cannot too soon
take leaf from these old "effete'
governments which are not SO efiete
either in a great many things as the
boastful young west thinks. The
subject of forestry experimental
stations should address themselves
to, and teach the art OF forest culture,
and use every means to popularise
tree planting. Thousands of acres
of land in Cecil county, which do not
pay for cultivating should be grow
ing young forests. -

Godfrey, the coioped heavyweight, wouiu
stand up before Sullivan, in spite of the
latter's denial Of the report, and
many expected to see an exhibition.
When Sullivan appeared, accom-
panied by William DAILY, Jr., the
windows shook with applause. DAILY
advanced to the front of the stage and
asked II Godfrey was In the hall. God
frey showed himself and WA invited to
the stage. DAILY asked Godfrsy If he
would spar Sullivan. Godfrey replied
that he hadn't come prepared to spar, since
he had not been asked to do 80, as stated
In the papers. As this was a testimonial
to Sullivan he would prefer to wait until
some other time, when he would spar
ten rounds for $500 or $1,000 a side.
Sullivan said he had never author
lied the announcement that he
would spar Mr.. Godfrey. Phil
lips, his former mage might
have done so, but he wasn't responsible
for anything Phillips might say. Hence
forth he and Phillips were quits. Phil
lips and Holske had come home
with a story about the Mitch
ell fight which was false, and
which 1T was quite evident the pub
lie didn't believe. He was Willing to
spar Godfrey or any other man In the
world. Here the crowd became wild and
everybody looked for a fight. Above the
din the voice of Jack of Ashton was
heard, declaring that he would coon
modate Godfrey at any time. He thought
Godfrey was looking for too large game
in Sullivan.
The entertainment ended with a four
round exhibition between Sullivan aud
Ashton, the contestants wearing the col
ors they wore abroad.
The receipts are said to hava been

Mr.. S%tanhope. secretary of war, an,
nounced that the government would un.

regard to the recent statements concern
ing the defenselessness of the country.
Lord Salisbury would have charge OF the
inquiry.
Mr.. Stanhope said that the defense
works OF ports and coaling stations were
already in progress, In the future ships
would not be obliged to wait for their
guns, but they would be ready for them.
As for the artillery, it had a better gun
than any army on the continent, and IA
supply sufficient for two army corps.
General Sir Henry Havelock Allen in.
sisted upon the necessity of largely
strengthening both the naval and mill
tary defenses. He said that England's
position in the matter of guns was in
ferior to European armies.
Several members complained of the
limitations of the commissioner of in
quiry, over which Lord Harrington pre-
sided. They claimed that it should have
been empowered to lay down a standard
of military and naval efficiency to which
the government should conform.
Secretary Balfour will speak tonight

Mr.. Gladstone, made last Wednesday to

presented an address expressing sympa-

Although the Liberals are exceedingly
Jubilant over the practical victory in the
house of commons in the King-Harman
matter, it really mean but little.
The government had previous informa-
tion through their whips that the Union
lists would bolt and had anticipated q
close vote. Col. King-Harman is not in
high favor with his party, and the pro-
ject of making him under secretary and
giving him a salary was distasteful to
many Tories, who consider that Balfour
has too long had things his own way.
The only explanation of the passage Of
the bill granting a salary to the under
secretary is, that the cabinet being finally
overcome by the persistency of Mr.. Bal
four, who wanted him, decided to humor
him.
