Though even the ladies may read with
profit. It's the same old story-the old, old
tune varied by being played in another
string. Age, however, neeer robs good
thing of its merit. We are supplying our
Tailor-made Clothing and perfect fitting
OvercOats right along. We do not claim to
be public benefactors. The smallness of
our profits border on to philanthropy,
though. We are not exactly sticking to
marked prices. Prudence and foresight
are the wonder-workers We don't want to
carry over winter stock. We've said this
before, but never with greater emphasis. If
you want a business or dress suit, or part of
a suit, or any one single garment don't miss
us. We are in that humOr now that takes
kindly to customer without much regard
for profit We rather send out goods at
cost than have any left to pack up for an
other season. OF course we want to make
expenses but tCe 1COB't lose any reasonable
opportunity to sell. We expect visits from
all who desire to see how much they can
purchase for very little money. The Big
Golden Arm swings over many a bargain

Mrs. Whitney Reduces Society Calls to
a Science.
From Me Az ZOE Wond.

from he Ne1D YORK WOftd.
Mrs. Whitney, the wife of the Secretary,
is woman with brains 1t has been said
of the American that if he wanted some
thing and was told it didn't exist, he simply
went to work and invented it. The popu-
lar Cabinet lady is essentially American.
When she went over to Washington she
found herself in great need of something,
and as it didn't exist already, she promptly
invented one of the greatest labor-savlng
devices i'll existence, and she hasn't taken
out any patent on it either, She calls this
Invention 1.-THE professional visitor" The
heaviest duty falling upon a woman in So
ciety anywhere, but more particularly in
Washington, is that of making calls. Every
one III a certain neighbOrhOod has differ
emit day for receiving and time can well be
economical by making uptown calls one
day, west OF east side another. OF the peo-
pie who have Tuesdays, for example, one
will live IN Fifth avenue, on the corner of
Eighty-ninth street, and the other in Wash
ington square. Things are even worse In
Washington. A wife of one of the Minis
tiers has ON her own day an average of 600
callers. They live at the four points of the
compass, and when the day is done there is
a mountain of pasteboard in the card
receiver in the hall which no tired hostess
has any time to look over and balance with
her visiting book. But the young woman who
Is uIeu lOf uIlS purpose arrives JuSU ABOUT
the time the last caller departs, and carries
off the pasteboards and the visiting book.
When she returns next day the latter is
carefully balanced, all new names and ad-
dresses neatly inscribed, and on two or three
type written sheets are grouped the names
of all people who live near each other, or
have similar days for being home, and with
this list in her carriage, the Cabinet lady
can economic tremendously both in time
and labor III returning all her calls. Some
times the young woman, who is generally a
pleasant, presentable persona lady in re-
duced umstances-undertake the work
of going and strewing these pasteboards
about town when her employer is too tired
or busy to make her own calls; but, when
she can, Mrs. Whitney endeavOrs to do this
work herself She invented it when
driven by the pressure of social duties in
Washington, but many of the New York
women have taken it up to
find it an infinite relief These
young women keep themselves carefully
informed of all social matters and are of
the greatest assistance in making out lists
and directing cards when there is to be q
marriage, dance, big tea or reception in
the house of her employer. Her services
can be extended indefinitely, and the longer
one has a professional visitor the more uses
she can be put to, for, as Mrs Whitney
says: WHATS the use of worrying your
self sick over the details of social pleasure
when You can just as well make some one
else attend to them for you" And the
professional visitor is the answer to the
question.

ON RAIL AND cRossTIE.
Local and General Gossip in Railway
Circles.

The earnings of the Queen and Crescent
system for the year just closed were Sc, $780,
047, an increase of 81, OK, 073 over 1886.
The Alabama Railroad Commission has
addressed a lengthy communication to the
managers of the different railroads centre
ing at Opelika regarding the necessity of
more connections depot Opelika now has
the same freight rates from the Northwest
and East as Atlanta, Montgomery and
Columbus
The Nashville and Knoxville Railroad
Company has let the work of constructing
the road between Lebanon, Wilson county
and Cookville Putnam county, a distance
of sixty-tive miles, to responsible contract
ors. BY May forty six miles will have been
graded and eros, tied, and twenty-one miles
completed.
The new method of paying for freight
cars when on foreign roads is not as popular
with car accountants as it was expected 1t
would be. They now have TO keep track of
the mileage made and of the number of
days a car is off the road owning it, and it
is quite task A move is to be made TO
make SOC. per day a uniform charge while
a car is off the road TO which it belongs, this
being the most accurate and convenient way
OF collecting for car services.
A syndicate of New York capitalists has
bought the bonds of the Montgomery
Southern Railway Company, projected to
run from Montgomery to Chattahoochee,
Fla, through the pine forests of Southeast
Alabama, and will extend the road from
Luverne, Ala, its present terminus, to the
Chattahoochee at once. Bradford Durham,
formerly Superintendent of the South and
North Alabama division Of the Louisville
and Nashville railroad, and recently Gen
eral Superintendent Of the Capital City

John Nicolson, Jr.

Attention is directed to the card of Mr.
John Nicholson, Jr., published elsewhere in
to-day's issue. MIR. Nicolson is now making
a speciality of steam heating for residences,
and has just made a contract with Mr.. L.
Kayton, of this city, for the furnishing and
setting of an entire system of steam heating in
his elegant residence, now being built, corner
of Hall and Drayton streets. Mr. j. A. G.
Carson has also contracted with Mr.. Mic
olson for similar system to be put in his
handsome residence, now being built on
Bolton street.
This form of heating is thought by many
to be far superior to hot air, and will, doubt-
less, come into general Use in this city.
MIR. Nicolson will be pleased to furnish
full information to parties contemplating
the Introduction of steam heating.

Florence Heating Stoves.

We have been so busy with our holiday
trade that we have quite neglected our

they have a removable heating drum, and

and will be useful both in summer and win

certificates from well-known citizens in
dorsing our little 81 Stove as sufficient to
heat bath room comfortably. Our So Is
