HAMPTON TO WANAMAKER


The Senator Uses strong Language TO the
Postmaster General.
CoLUMHIA, s c., November 13-Twt
weeks ago b. F. Clay ton was appointed
postmaster Tor Columbia, vice Wade
Hampton Gibbes, a gentleman of higl
standing in the state. MIR. Clayton is All
Independent. MIR. Wanamaker had
promised not to remove Mr.. Gibbes until
his term had expired The following
letter from Senator Wade Hampton, nov
hunting on his plantations in Mississippi
is published:
GLEN ALLEN. MISS, November s.
The Hon J0hn Wanannnker:
,Sir-The enclosed extract from a
South Carolina paper has caused me
great surprise, for perhaps you may re
member, if your memory is not treach
rrous, your assurance to me few days
lgo that Mr.. Glbbes should not be re
moved until the expiration of his term
in February next.
Not only did you do this, but you
voluntarily assured me that inasmuch as
Columbia was my postoffice, You would
when a successor of Mr. Gibbes was to b'
appointed, consult me. 1t is matter OF
small importance to me WHO takes tht
place of MIR. Glbbes, but as L lnt'rEeo
him in passing through Columbia OF the
promise you had made, you may pr rhaps
understand how your action has placed
me in false position
"But it is fortunate for me that Mr.
Gibbes will know that | at least told hin
the truth, though l was glievously de-
| ceived in believing what was said to me
shall know better in future what re-
lance to place on statements emanating
from the same source. The newspapers
state that besides managing the grea
department over which you preside yot
are running Sunday school in Philadel
| phia, and it OCCURS to me that you might
with profit to yourself, select as mos
appropriate subject of a lecture to you
pupils that instructive sorry of Anania'
and Saphira. This would give you i
| fine field for your eloquence in explaining
to your young charges the Importance Of
combining themselves to the truth. eX
cept when some fancIed advantage might
| be obtained over a politial opponent.
am your obedlent servant,

GRANVILLE B. HAINES & co.

These are the very finest
Linens made. They were i'm
ported expressly for a high
class trade, and stand in about
the same relation to ordinary
grades as fine Silks do to
Muslins.
Pay what you will it is i'm
possible to find their superior.
They are the ne plus ultra
of all that is excellent, and
represent the highest triumphs
of the weaver's art.
Rarely, indeed, do such
goods find their way to a
"sale,' and never before have
we known them to be offered
at such a sacrifice.
The lot includes Double
Damask Tableclocths with
Napkins to match. Tablecloths
without Napkins and Napkins
without Tablecloths. All Of
the same superfne texture and
at the same reductions.
In such a varied collection it
is impossible to name over
prices in detail, but we may
generalize the range as follows
TABLECLOTHS
yards by yards, range
from S2.25 to S5.S5.
yards by 2 = yards, range
from s. to $3.50.
yards by 3 yards, range
from $3.50 to 10.
yards by 31l yards, range
from S3.75 to $II.5o.
2 yards by 4 yards range
from 81 to SI3.
III yards by2 Z yards, range
from SIS to S12.
2Hyards by 3 yards, range
from SO to SI3
2k yards by 31s yards,
range from $40 to$lo.5o.
~ yards by 4 yards, range
from ST. to $40.
Nearly all of this lot have
Napkins to match.
NAPKINS
The same superhne textures
in numerous lots.
5-S NAPKINS, ranging from
$3.50 to $3.50.
ga NAPKINS ranging from
81 to $I2.
We doubt whether fine Table
Linens in such quantity are to
be found at any other city coun-
ter, and we are morally sure
they have never before been
met with at these prices.

"Never write letter while in anger

anniversary of the establishment of the
Roman Catholic hierarchy in the Uni
ted States was begun on Sunday last in
the Cathedral in Baltimore with Sol
emn Pontifical Mass, at which were
present two Cardinals, twelve Arch

Der of Mitred Abbotts and heads of

evening, Solemn Pontihcal Vespers were
celebrated by Archbishop Heiss, of
Milwaukee, and the sermon was preach

On Monday the sessions of the Catholic
Congress began and on Tuesday night
one of the grandest torchlight displays
ever seen in that city was given. The
Centennial closed on Wednesday by
the dedication at Washington of the
Divinity School building of the new
Catholic University of America. The
ceremony OF blessing the building was
performed by Cardinal Gibbons, after
which Pontifical Mass was celebrated
in the chapel by Archbishop Satolli.
Bishop Gilmour, of Cleveland, preach
ed the sermon. After the services, the
prelates and distinguished guests sat
down to banquet. Cardinal Gibbons
presided, and there were present be-
sides the prelates, Secretary Blaine, and
several other Cabinet Officers. Presi-
dent Harrison and Vice President Nor
ton entered the dining soon after
the commencement of the proceedings
and the President made brief address.
The toasts were responded to by Arch
bishop Satolli, Secretary Blaine, Cardi
nal Taschereau, Cardinal Gibbons,
Archbishop Ryan and John Boyle O.
Reilly.
