We are the originators and
have been for thirty years the
leaders of popular prices. Our
GOODS are marked when first
placed on sale at such a very
modest profit as only a house
can afford that sells exclusively
for cash in every instance, and
consequently eliminates from
its calculation the risk of losses
from bad debts and the book
keeping and other office ex-
penses inseparable from a
credit system.
The losses in the United States re-
sulting from uncollectabIe accounts
amount to hundreds of millions Of
dollars annually. Tothose for whom
credit is a paramount importance it
is a convenience for which they ought
to pay. The fundamental cornerstone
of a weIl-regulated business pre-
cIudes thepossibiIity ofdeviating from
one price, but why should cash buy
ers who purchase from houses that
carry accounts contribute toward de-
fraying the losses and expenses con-
sequent TO the creditsystem7 We give
credit 10 no one; we therefore incur
no losses, and our prices bear evil
dence of ii TO the advantage of all
who can avail themselves thereof
In conspicuous instances
other houses occasionally meet
our prices "as leaders," but it
is like the unwilling workman
who will only do his task while
under the vigiIant eyes of the
0verseer; it lisa forced exaction,
not a spontaneous tribute.
Take promisCuousIy a dozen
items out of each of our 81 de-
partments and compare them
with a like number of articles
from any other house, and it
will confirm our claim that we
are the cheapest house in this
country, without ever sacri-
flcing quality TO price.

The Speed o. Il Train.

Not one person Of the millions who
travel on railroads in a year has any
accurate idea Of the speed of q train.
For the most part trainmen can guess
the nearest, but without some method
their guesses may be considered as
given ut short range and fired at ran
dom. Quite frequently engineers are
dispat he'd on a trip over a line, with
instructions to run at a certain speed.
A good many persons assume than an
engineer has an Indicator and gauges
his engine by it. This is not the case.
They don't carry one once in lifetime,
but have learned by experience to run
their horse with only slight if any,
variation from their instructions. As a
rule the majority of engineers use their
drlving-wheel as a gauge. They know
its rcumference, and by counting its
revolutions in a certain time can tell
with a certain degree of accuracy the
speed they are running Another
scheme IS to time the run between nile
posts. Still another is to count the
number of telegraph poles passed in a
certain time. These telegraph poles
are invariably placed twenty-eight to
the mile. The most practical and at
the same time most simple one is to
count the number of rail joints the train
passes over in twenty seconds. The
rails with few exceptions are thirty feet
in length and the number passed over
in twenty seconds is the speed the
train is making per hour So if you
are in your sleeper and just watch the
small hand for twenty seconds and
calculate you can tell how long you
can remain in your warm couch.

A BLACK EYE FOR BELL.
Supreme Court Decision in the TeIepbon.
litigation-uncie Sam Can Bring "a
Suit-Justice Miller Reads the Ruling
That the Government Has Authority
to Commence an Action to AnnuI the
Patent-History of the Case,

WAsHINdToN, ID. c., Nov. 12.-Justioe
Miller, of the supreme court, to-day
rendered decision in the suit of the
United States against the Bell Tele-
phone Company, brought here on the
appeal from the decision Of the cjrcnit
court of Massachusetts sustaining the
demurrer entered by the Bell Compa-
ny to go"ernment's suit. Justice
Miller decided that the plea of
multifariousness sent by the Bell Com
pany does not hold good, and also that
the Bell Company's contention that the
United States has no right to bring
suit to set aside a patent is not good.
The decision is III favor of the United
States. Justice Miller overruled the
decision of the circuit court of Massa-
chusetts and the court remands the
case with instruction to entertain the
governments bin.
Justice Miller first took up the plea of
multlfariousness urged by the Bell Com
pa.ly, and said that it could not hold
good; that the suit brought by the
United States, although it sought TO can
eel two patents, issued year apart,
really related to the same subject. As
to the Bell Company's contentious that
the United States could not bring and
that no circuit court could entertain IL
suit to cancel n patent brought
in the name of the govern
ment, no matter whether fraud had
been committed or not, Justice Miller
said that there was no question that an
individual had II right to ludicially seek
redress for a wrong committed against
him. and yet 1T was contended that the
United States, tie representative of CO.
600, 900 of people, could do nothing in
their behalf. Justice Miller said further
| that such state of things would be a
great anomaly in the system of govern
ment like ours. The patent system, he
said, was derived from tie same clause
III the constitution as that relating to
public lands. Tie government, al
though no express statute had been en-
acted, it had repeatedly been held, had
the right TO set aside land patents OBJ
tanned by fraud, and the same thing
was true of patents for inventions.
The contention that the government
should not take action because Il remedy
existed with private parties, he said did
not hold good. One person might bring
suit against the holder of a patent and
obtain judgment III that particular case
and yet other parties who subsequently
brought suit would be unable to bring
proof. The government alone had the
power to bring suit which would finally
settle tine whole matter.

but somewhat shabbily-dressed man

OF his being alive, and will take steps TO

slightly bowed they understood that
she 10 longer wanted them there.
In very short time each had gath
cred together his small possessions,
and soon left til housa all very indig-
nant, indeed, to thus lie dismissed with
cut any warning.
As soon IS they had gone Gertana
ordered Nilsson TO pack the trunks,
while she attended to some business
matters.
After making all necessary arrange
ments, she made preparations to take
the late afternoon train for Jones'
borough, where Lenoras once happy
home was situated.
Gertana and her maid arrived ut
Anna. the nearest station to Jones
borough. 1t was about midnight be-
fore the train stopped to let them off,
and of course they were compelled to
go to hotel until morning, when Ger
tana intended to drive out to the Rice
farmhouse.
The large flakes of SNOW had been
falling all night, but when morning
dawned the sun rose bright and clear
in a cloudless sky, throwing his rays OF
light over the smooth bed OF sparkling
whiteness.
About nine o'clock, handsome
sleigh, with fiery jet-black horses,
waited outside the hotel door for
Madame Girindani.
She soon appeared, looking-oh, so
lovely, III this clear, frosty morning
She now seemed free, like the happy,
blushing girl she was eight long years
ago.
The horses pranced down the long
road that led from Anna TO Jones'
borough, while the boughs of the ever
greens on each side of the street were
bending low with their sparkling bur
den of snow.
As they rapidly descended the HILL
the sleigh bells iingling and the spirit
ed horses keeping time to their chime,
Gertana's countenance became more
radiant, and her eyes sparkled with
admiration of the beautiful landscape
stretching before them.

ROYAL Gastronomy.

FROM lile tftLtlStHhus AlAEdHiL'"
AT the royal table all dishes are
marked with the name of the cook-a
custom which certainly affords an OPP
portun:ty of winning fame if .partleu-
lar cook possesses superior skill to his
fellows. The custom originated with
George H., who on his way to his Ger
man dominioDs was deprived, through
sea-sickness, of the services OF his prln-
cipal cook, 1t, therefore, fell to the lot
of Weston, an assistant cook, to pre-
pare particular SOUP of which his
majesty was very fond, and this he did
SO successfully that on the death of his
Superior the King appointed him in his
stead. This naturally caused heart
burnings among Weston's fellows, and
when any dish was found fault with
they ascribed its connection to him.
The King shrewdly suspected the cheat
they were attempting, and ordered
each cook in future to mark the dish he
prepared with his name. This vlndl-
Gated Weston and established very

She Chose the Carpenter.

from lhe cincinnati ED4ulre
A little bit Of romance, so it is said,
turned the future of Lewis Van Ant
werp, the head of the well-known
book firm. tie was a struggling book
keeper in Ashland, KY, where he fell
in love with lady resident. He had q
rival in the person of a thriving young
carpenter Matters reached such a
stage with him that he decid-
ed to have the affair settled, and
SO proposed to the gir,. She
told him that the chances were the best
with the carpenter and SO she would
cling to him. Cling she did. Young
Van Antwerp came TO this city and be-
came connected with the firm Of Will
son, Hinkle < Co., as boOkkeeper. u
timately he became the head OF its sue
cessor, tie present firm. About that
time he returned To his native city, and
when he did he found that the girl he
had loved wa still the wife of the car
penter, and he was doing no better
than when first welded.
