Music in a clothing store.

The thirteenth annual grand spring open
ing of fine ready-made clothing by the
Standard Clothing Company was held yes
terday, and with great success. Grimmer's
full orchestra were stationed at one end OF
their large salesroom, and discoursed their
finest music all the afternoon and evening "a
the delight of every one present. Very un'
fortunately 1t began raining early In the af,
ternoon, which prevented many from coming
out. But those who did attend saw some
thing novel in the way of advertising, which
cannot help but reflect great credit upon this
enterprising firm.
Their large show windows were dressed
finely and displayed great variety of the
best grade of clothing of their own manufac-
ture.
The attendance was SO large that the
clerks had great difficulty In waiting upon
those who desired to buy. The Standard
can score good one for starter this sea
son, and may they have success.

Good for Judge Gould.

On Middle street, Tuesday afternoon, three
boys got into an alteration with Two Jews
named Isaac and Lewis Kominski. One of
the Jews was knocked down and his teeth
kicked out. The boys were before the court
and fined $40 each.
The judge remarked at the time of sentenc-
ing them that If the police department had
the power to do it, it would stop this perse-
cution of inoffensive men, whose only offence
was that they happened to be Hebrews. and
II these boys or any others were ever brought
there for that offense again, he should send
them to jail. Mr.. Morrill, appeared for the

Hoods SarsapariIIa

Costs the Retail Druggists More, for the
same reason-as can easily be learned by inquiry
Hence the desire of some retailers to sell their
own preparations, which cost them less, and for
which they get the same price, thus making more
money. But
4. 1t costs the Consumer LESS than any
other medicine, because Of its greater concen-
trated strength and the quantity in each bottle,
and because it is the only preparation of which
can truly be said, 900 Doses One Dollar. ,,
On this platform Hoods Sarsaparllla stands
absolutely beyond the approach of competitors
They copy our methods of advertising. they use
our language, they steal our headlines, but they

NTURER of Ladies'
Muslin Undercloth-
ing whose goods have new

IN Maine, sent us, a few
days ago, a sample of Ham
burg trimmed Corset Gov
ers and quoted price for
a fifty dozen lot that was
so far below the common
price for merchandise of
this sort, so much under
the actual value of the
goods that we had to say
well take them ALL
there was no other way.
They came yesterday
and to-day will be put on
sale in the Underwear de-
partment at 25c each.
Clean, fresh, nesO goods,
straight from tie factory,
at a Price representing half
tie real 0akpe.
Of course we realized
the Importance of what we
said yesterday about the
stamped linens but we did
not look for such a rush as
this offer of ours attracted,
and we did not expect that
the biggest part of the
stuff would all be taken in
the first hours of the morn
ing,-glad to see the goods
go but sorry to disappoint
the late corners. It's an
other instance of "the early
bird" ETC., and contains a
hint to all the careful
readers Of our advertise
ments.
To make the continual
ton of this linen sale as
attractive as possible we
have ransacked our whole
sale stock to find a few
more soiled articles to add
to what's left of the lot we
begun on yesterday, the
result of our efforts will
be on the counter this
morning and the sale will
go on till every piece is

Independent opinions relative to conven-
ton delegates who are easy ''to take" or
otherwise. He says: president Clark,
j. K. Toole, Middleton, Collins, Craven
and Hartman are all comparatively easy
speakers to follow, not because most OF
them are at times very rapid, but because
the language for the most part is forcible
and direct, without unnecessary ornamen-
tation, and the ideas expressed are crys-
talized and clear. Some men have the
habit of taking words and building around
them the idea, while others bring out the
thought prominently and never sacrifice
an idea for the simple vehicle Of thought
Consequently, their language is never
obscure or misty, and their words lave

Of the spot. These latter speakers are
always easy to take" He says that Ma
ginnls can make an''lncomparable speech
and he refers to times when Joe Toole
marches down the aisle and lays down

The convention is plainly a good schoo
for oratory and is preparing our young
men for Legislative work. ".."M.D.
