RIGHT TO THE POINT.

An extended rigmarole in itself
creates doubt, disbelief, does it not?
We are simply and sensibly doing
as all prudent merchants do at this
season. Rather than pack away or
take the chances of changing styles,
offer the balance of all Winter goods,
Dress Fabrics, Goats, Wraps, Blank
cts, Flannels, Yarns, &c, at prices
that will induce those yet in need to
purchase as a matter of economy and
prudent investment.
We've too many silk finish velve-
teens, we will give you the SOC.
grades at 373c., the 75c. grade at so
elegant finished goods. A choice
brand of Soc. Silk Velvet all shades
at 75c. to close. Do you remember
the Rich Striped Silk Velvets beau
tiful effects, all colors at slips 10
$1.50; we've some choice ends now
left at 75c. and 95c. A piece or two
even less, say Coo.
The balance of our Holiday Nov
elites (most all usefuD, as you
saw them marked four weeks ago,
you can now deduct one fourth, yes
on some one-third the price and
take them home rejoicing.
Twelve long days stock taking,
what's that mean? Why do We do
it? 1st, its to ascertain if by good
or bad management we've made or
lost money in our business.
Our well wishers will rejoice to
know that we've made at least
good living. Stock taking means a
general inspection and readjusting
of prices which by the way now
days are down, down. We have
just thrown on our bargain table a
hundred or more desirable ends sur
prisingly cheap.

For Men, Boys and Children,
TAYLOR OPERA House,
TRENTON, N. j.. APRIL 2, 1888.
GREETING
To friends, customers and
the general pubkc:-Many
of you are aware that |
have been a merchant in
Trenton for nearly twenty
one years, and that | have
been highly successful in
my business ventures.
In May, 1867, | opened
small store in Taylor
Opera House, for the sale
of shirts and mems fur
nishing goods, and by hon
est efforts and strict atten-
ton to business, / have
seen that small beginning
develope into the largest
house of its kind in the
whole state of New Jersey.
Five years ago, | moved
my furnishing goods stock
into a handsome new store
adjoining the Opera House,
and embarked in the cloth
ing business in the vacated
store with partner. That
partnership has now ex-
pired-my partner has
taken his equal share of
the stock, and in the flu
ture the clothing business,
like the furnishing goods
store, will be conducted by
me alone. The principles
and rules used by me in
the latter business, will be
brought into service in the
clothing store, and I.antici-
pate a large increase in its
sales.
The division of stock
has necessitated the buying
of an enormous quantity
of New Spring Goods, and
am so well pleased with
my purchases, that l will
guarantee the prices they
are offered at, to be lower
than those of any other
dealer, and if customers
are not fully satisfied with
their purchases, / will ex-
change the goods, or at the
buyers request, the whole
amount of purchase money
will be cheerfully refund
ed without argument on
the part of the salesman.
To my old friends and
customers / extend my
heartiest thanks for their
past patronage, and feel
perfectly safe in assuring
them, at all times, and in
both departments, the best
goods for the lowest posi-
bic price.
To strangers, | can only
ask for a visit and a trial,
but if a recommendation
to my establishment is
necessary, there are doubt
less many of your friends
who will give it cheer
fully. | remain
Yours very respectfully,

Mrs. McMahOn's Death.

The death OF Mrs. Mcmahon, follow
ing SO soon upon the death of her son, Z,
who was for time assistant secretary
Of the Y. M. G. A. Of this city, has
caused much sad interest to be taken in
the matter. The details of Mrs. Nc
Mahon's death are given by Tabor
correspondent as follows:
The chapter OF distressing and soul-har-
rowing accidents that find record in our daily
papers can have no more awful death than
befell Mrs. Mcmahon, highly respected
widow lady about fifty-hve years Of age, re-
loved son who was killed this winter in Colo
RADIO, on train of which he was conductor,
it was feared by her family and physician
that her grief had caused Insanity, as she
night MIS-. Mcmahon, her daughter Miss
Etta and Miss Dryden, college student
boarder, retired as usual for the night. 1t
Is said that the old lady was heard moving
about in her room during the night, but
caused no uneasiness on the part of the
family. 1t was not until early morning
ment it was found She was
gone. The alarm was Immediately
given and soon the whole town, citizens, col
lege students and public school pupils were
searching through the town and outlying
vicinita. It was thought that possibly in her
bewilderment she had started for Hillsdae to
take the train as she often expressed de-
sire to visit their children living in various
parts of Pottav attamie county. A greater
part of Saturday morning was spent in the
anxious, exciting search, and it was not until
nearly noon that someone on looking into the
hotel well nearly cigty-fve feet deep saw un-
mistakable evidence of her dreadful fate. 1t
was an excited, horrified throng Of neighbors
that gathered around to assist in lifting out
the remains of beloved friend. Mr.. Myers
ropes and windlass were brought and George
Ledgeway and George Starrett were lowered
into the well. Ropes were fastened around
her and slowly and gently she was drawn
back into Gods sweet sunlight She was
Immediately removed to her residence where
loving hands prepared their friend for burial
An early telegram had been sent to her son,
George Mcmahon, of Council Bluffs, who
arrived during the forenoon, and he, with the
assistance of Mr.. Fish, took the remains to
Hillsdale in the afternoon to be sent to the
family cemetery in Pottawattamie county for
burial.

The Humanity OF Christ.

At the Congregational church yester-
day morning Rev. CIV. Crofts preached
an excellent sermon on "The Humanity
of Christ" In his introduction he spoke
of the incarnation as mystery, to ex-
plain which or understand which was a
hopeless task for any human mind. Be-
cause it could not be understood was not,
however, any reason why its truth
should be denied. 1t was wonderful how
man could put thoughts into sound, into
letters upon paper, or into signs. The
sounds given forth by speaker were
not thoughts, and yet the speaker put
into these sounds thoughts which stirred
the heart. The letters on the written
or printed page were not thoughts, and
yet thoughts were put into them, SO that
in the reading OF them the cheek was
made to turn pale, the eye to glisten,
the whole nature stirred to grand deeds,
moved upward toward God or dragged
downward. 1t was wonderful mystery;
still, there was no one that doubted but
that it was done right along. Wonder
full II was that man could put thoughts
into mere sounds or into letters or signs;
1t seemed no stranger that God should
express his divinity in the human form.
1t was no more unnatural or strange
that God could be put into human form
than that thought could be put into
words.
The purposes Of Christ's humanity
were then suggested. One of these was
to present a perfect specimen OF man.
hood. Whatever opinion might be held
In regard to Christ's divinity, it must
be conceded, and generally was, tina,
he was perfect as a man. It WAS diff.
cult to see how anyone thus acknowl.
edging that Christ was a perfect man
could consistently deny that such a
perfect man must be of divine origin,
The purpose Of such perfect m, a was
to elevate humanity into q hlghe, *aut

Late Saturday night Officer Beswick
found man wandering about the North

mud and his face was discOlored and
swollen from a heavy blow under the
eye. When taken to the police station
he said that he came in on the Milwau-
kee through freight. He gave his name
as Charles Usher, OF Cedar Rapids. He
said that he left home for Ports
mouth to buy a farm, and
had two drafts for $500 each on
the City National bank of Cedar Rapids.
The train did not stop at Portsmouth,
and he was brought to Nicola, and con-
cluded to come on to the Bluffs and stay
over night. After he alighted from
the car in the Milwaukee yards he had
gone but few rods when he was
Knocked down and robbed of all he had.
He was completely dazed by the blow
and wandered around until found as
stated. He had the police telegraph to
stop payment on the drafts, and remained
at the station the greater part of the day,
He also lost about $l5 in money and a
silver watch. He is OF the opinion that
the brakemen OF the train were his as
sailants, but could give no description
OF them. The police believe his story

Several of the prominent citizens Of

terday afternoon in front of the Pacific
house when one of them delivered him
self as follows: Gentlemen. we say we
have nice city-wealthy, pretty and
not badly in debt-and so we have. We
are pleased with our homes, and are not
ashamed to say so. Now, we all belong
here, and there is no need of misrepre-
senting anything. l just want to leave
it to any man, rich or poor, high or low,
if the condition of these streets isn't
enough to make angels weep. They
surely would, if not worse. AS you all
know, 100000 was expended last year for
paving, and what is the result?
The newly-paved streets are in
worse condition than before.
What is the reason? The paving
is all that could be desired in that line,
but the strings of dirt wagons that daily
pass over them, leave generous cOntri-
buttons. l pay my taxes and don't com
plain about anything within the bounds
of reason, hut live on Mynster street,
and my assessment for paving that
handsome avenue amounted to consider
able. In order to get here to-day
waded through mud nearly to my ankles.
Have reason to complain? l tell $eu,
gentlemen, this thing has gone far
enough, and something must be done.
l shall see the members of the council,
and if they can't grant relief. shall be
on hand at the coming election to work
for men who will make a better showing
