We let everybody know. near and far, that we want nobody's money except on terms that nobody else in this region ventures to make, viz ', trade back next day if you want to. Nobody thinks it possible to sell dry goods on such terms, and SO many make haste to buy of us.
 We'll, how is it turning out9 Is it as great advantage as people thinkF Does the liberality of the terms bring disaster on the store? It is so great an advantage that thousands buy of us rather than at home.

It is healthful and Encouraging sign that Egypt is making advancement in the matter of railroads, Thtre has for some years now been railroad connection between Alexandria and Cairo, b{tween both and Damietta on the one hand, and by way of Zagazig, Suez, on the olher. The Rail- road Committee advises the construction of two new lines in Lower Egypt, and one line in Fayoum. It has always been felt that much inconvenience has resulted from the absence of bridge aeross the Nile at Cairo. The principal pa hce of the Khe- dive is on the opposite tide of the river from Cairo. So also are the Pyramids. A bridge across the river somewhere between Boulak and Cairo would not only be a great convenience; it could hardly fail to develop the country on the opposite side.

The Bridgeport Standald pays the fol- lowing deserved complainant to one of Connecticut's most worthy citizens: Or vile H. Platt and Joseph R. Hawley will continue to represent Connecticut in the senate of the United States. They stand in the front rank of the highest legislative body in the world, and give to our little state an influence far greater than that which is exerted by many of the larger states. Both are recognized as among the ablest debaters in the senate, and both have done yeoman service on the stump during the canvass that has just closed. "- Nea0 London DGy.] 'Maior Tlbbits does credit to himself while thus honoring the senators of Connecticut. but at the same time we do not forget that in the late can. vass, side by side with them, doing effect i've work and suffering little by the com parieon, stood the editor of The Day, Ma jor Hbbits himself, and we know that the republicans of Connecticut will not forget the fact. Major Tibbits has once more manifested his unselfsh devotion to the republican cause, and has done 'yeoman service therefor and he thus adds to the debt which the party owes him; a debt which two years from now, we have faith to believe, it will cancel handsomely. Without complaint and always in the har- ness he has waited his time, and 1t will surely come. - H1rtfoyd Post.

A NUMEROUS JUDGE.

The case of Judge a. NJ. Pulliam who on
Friday killed James Miller, awealthy farmer
at hardinsburg, KY, came up before the
county magistrate at said place. Pulliam
waived an examination and went to jail 1t
has been discovered since the killing that:
when Puliam aud Miller went together. into
pulliam's office, Pulliam submitted to Mill
err for signature statement that Miller had.
been criminalIy associated with Mrs. Pulliam,
and that in consideration of that fact he
would pay Pulliam s., 200. The statement;
was in ink in Pulliam's writing. Below in
pencil and leaving space for the signature,
were the words in the same hand writing:
II give you five minutes to consider this.
You may sign or die. u
This paper was found under Millers spec
tacles on Pulliam's table Just offer Ille suo0t-s

and there is some talk of violence. Pulllams

with Miss Molie S. Miller, daughter OF

a large plumber of others, mostly emu
ployces, were slightly bruised and cut by
being struck by flying debris.
The cause of the explosion is believed to
have been high pressure. William Wetzell,
the engineer, noticed that the pressure was
higher than usual, and he started for the
furnace to turn down the natural gas. Be-
fore he had time to do so, however, there

schools which have been recently organized
in Chicago under the snperintendcncy of Paul
Groltkau, are making great progress in said
city. There are six of them now, and they
hold their meetings every Sunday morning
Among the teachers in these 'Sund'y

chief of the .ArJeicr Zctung, Paul Grottkau,,
Mrs. Lucy Parsons and others equally well
known to fame.
Those in charge Of tho class where instruc-
ton is given are careful to who are admit
ted, and an outsider will find it an impossl-
blity to gain an entrance. These schools
have not been organized more than month,
but tho attendance upon them is already
large and constantly upon the increase. 1t
is estimated by Grottkau and others inter,
ested that 25,O01 people will soon be enrolled
in these schools. including children. Oi
those now attendants many are children not
moro than ten years of age.
Captain Setback and Inspector Bonfield
have as yet made no move toward breaking
up the meetings, where disobedience to the
laws of the country and the State is taught.
