THE repeated agitation Of the mefter

about the independent candidacy for as
SCISSORS in the First aud Second districts
of this city Mr William Stilley and Mr.
James y. Devlin. respectively
Both of these gsntlemen are
Democrats and both baye entereA the
contest on the single FlaslS Of an lsonest
assessment. We know that there are
hundreds Of Democrats IN TIT city who
deprecate the conduct ef9ne assessouw at
the City HaH last February and who
have been anxious for an
opportunity so condemn that con
duct by their ballots next month. The
Republican organizations o. the two dis
triets felt IT useless to make a fight, and
so these independent Democrats them
selves have taken it upon themselves 20
nut forward candidates. for whom
any honest mar can vote. Mr.. Stilley
is running as an independent candidate

PHILADELPHIA Wednesday, Oct. "A. 1883.
You hear of here and there
an India Shawl at half price Z
Half of what price? There is
truth telling that deceives.
Such cheats are nowhere easier
than in the high cost India
Shawls. Not one store in ten
handles India Shawls. Not
one in fifty, perhaps, handles
the high cost ones. Prices
nine times in ten arc what the
dealer chooses to make them.
There are $1,000 and $500
lndias. Precisely the same
Shawls in another store may
be $500 or $500. What the
traffic will bear" IS the India
Shawl rule in most stores.
Such houses keep most of their
Indias. Even "half price"
don't bring the goods to the
right level.
We don't do business that
way. There never has been a
time when the finer Indias
could be had for so little at
first hand. The making of
them has almost stopped.
What are in the market now
are mostly picked up one or
two at a time from corners
where they've lain unnoticed.
What we get hold of we take
with every bit of extravaganza
from the price. We
sell them without a bit of ex-
travagance added. That keeps
our Shawl stock fresh and
and always a-brim with
the best values.
There is hardly an India q
Shawl in our stock that we c
could replace at the price it
cost US; some we couldn't buy
at the prices they are marked
for sale. All India Shawls 90
