ONLY 25c PER PAIR.

The truest test Of superiority is the
wear, and we place these against any 25c
hose manufactured We also offer more
than half dozen qualities of children's
hose, which for sake Of equity are marked
at graded prices; that is, each pair from
inches up selling for two cents more
than the size smaller. These are in
plain, ribbed and drop stitched styles,
and each and every grade represents all
that the particular price can possibly
procure. AS absolutely fast black hose
are boon to the purchaser, we conf
IDENTIFY predict an unusually large demand
for these special qualities.
MEMS FAST BLACK HOSE.
Heretofore it has been almost impossi-
BILE to secure an absolutely fast black hose
for men without paying quite large price
for them. Such is no longer the case. We
have exerted strenuous efforts, and now
have the pleasure of placing before you
bot only the finest qualities and most re-
liable dyes, but the most inexpensive
line we have ever offered AS with the
ladies' and children's hose we also guar
antee these to be absolutely fast in color,
and not to crock or fade in washing.

The talk is on Black Stockings. You
probably know that some black stockings

stain the feet, wash brownish, and wear

received our Spring importation Of Black
Hosiery that we can guarantee to be abb

is as follows:
The dye is guaranteed purely vegeta-

heat or perspiration, and of indellibly

No ifs and ands about it. We will re-

T THst9'' thought 1H S"iD alone H' ought to
lead men to be willing to extend
mental principles of the suffrage question
which influence me and convince me of its
ACCESSIBILITY. Woman needs the ballot first to
ensure her self-respect;, second, to ensure
her self protection. Jewish women are
they care? They have always been used to
it. Mohammedan women, If they can read
Arabic, see over the mosques the inscription
that lunatics. aliens, and women are forever
excluded. Do they care? They have always
been used to it. Our women have been
claSsed with lunatlcs, aliens, paupers, and
spendthrlfts. Do they care? Perhaps they
never realized it, but when they do wake up
TO the TACT, they care very much. They lose
their self-respect, The time has passed
when common law made woman her hus-
Dands slave, with whom he could do as hs
pleased, shut up, or chastise, or rob her
earnings at his pleasure. How has it been
doner The women have asked for suffrage,
ana because the legislators did not dare to
give that they modified the laws against
them little by little. But what security has
woman in laws so long as she has no hand
In making them? What one legislature does
another may undo, through carelessness per-
haps, because there was NO. woman sitting
in the chamber to call attention to the con-
sequences of the change. One Catholic or
one naturalized citizen sitting in a legisla-
ture would exercise far greater pow er in pre-
venting unjust legislation against his fellows
than multitudes outside who had to exert
their influence indirectly by coaxing men,
bers to vote against the measures. So with
women. There need not be a majority to
ensure self-protection. One only to call at
tenti0n to errors and omissions would be
sufficient. Upon these two principles the
whole thing rests. Every advance brings
the, great result nearer. Every success
makes success more certain and the time
will surely come when the nation, having
won the respect of the world by its success
IN war will again win it by extending full
suffrage to women. ~s

MUSIC AND pRAMs.
THE BALMoRAL CHOIR.


Speaking of the Balmoral Choir which
will appear in the Popular Stockbridge
course Tuesday next, the Bolton eng News
says:
There has been such dearth of high
class concerts here for some time past that it
was not surprising there was good au-
dence, especially when it is remembered
that, apart from the artistic reputation of
the Choir, the music was of that distinctly
national character which appea so much to
our friends across the border. The pro-
gramme was made up almost exclusively of
such well-known melodies as 'The Boatie
Rows" Scots wha haze" "John Anderson
my Jo," Eye Banks and Braes," "Green
grow the Rashes. o." &C., &c. Such pure
and perfect part-singing. we should imagine,
has rarely been heard in Bolton"

In discussing the new work, DR.. Merrill
said:
The church to which am called is situ.
ated almost in the very heart of the CITY of
Portland, which has 10000 or $4,000 in6abi-
tants 1t is frequented and supported by
the middle classes, and is convenient of ac-
cess from every part of the city. The con-
gregatlon is neither poor not wealthy, but is
somewhat larger than that of the First
Church here"
In reply to direct quertion DR.. Merrill
salu mat he would probably preach his fare

Pr Merrill.s present congregation is one
Oh the wealthiest, though not the largest of
the denomination in the city. Its church
ed;nce, on Delmar, near Grand avenue,
6ullt during DR.. Merrill's pastorate and ded-
lcated In 1884, is one of the most spacious
and elegant In the city. DR.. Merrill has
peen- prominently ideDtlhed with every IN
terdenaminational movement. of consequence
that has been made in the city during the
last hve years, and in all respects is one of
the leading preachers of st. Louis. In his
