Wonderful bargains in California fruits.
Prices away down-lower than common

8 fbs., 25c; Calf. apricots (good), fbs., 25c;

Piles, 3 fbs., 25c; evap. peaches, 3 tbs., 25c;
dried peaches, z fbs., 25c. These prices are
low; but not as low in. comparison as the
California fruit.
Cocoanuts-New, choice selected nuts
only 4c each. Alas, our poor heather
brothers in the land of dates and palms.
Such prices will not buy fg-leaves for
girdles.
Rich, mild, full cream cheese, only 10c
per ID. Not enough for milking the cow and
sklmming the cream.
Somebody is getting left, but it isn't you;
so don't worry. The goods are all the very
best. You need not be afraid to order by
mail-they will please you.
Many of these prices are 80 per cent less
than the regular wholesale price; so don't
blame other grocers if they can't match
them. 1t only means that somebody got
overloaded and had to sacrifice at any cash
price.
We got these goods as starter for the
opening of the large addition to our stores.
We did not have room before. The stock
of evaporated fruits which we have just re-
ceived would more than fill an ordinary
store. You will hardly know us in week

sell an immense amount of tea now; but
when Mr.. Shaw gets his tea department ar
ranged we will make things hum.

A SLEDGE-HAMMER BLOW.

It is Struck for Prohibition by President
james Campbell, of the Window Glass
Workers-Other Addresses.
Although the acoustic properti es were IN
ordinately bad, and the house poorly heat
ed, about 800 people turned their best au-
rlcular organs leeward to listen to Mr.
James Campbell, President of the Window
Glass Workers, and others, who argued in
favor of the amendment, in Salisbury Hall,
Southside, last evening. Chairman PAUL,
in few remarks denouncing the liquor
traffic, ended by introducing Mr.. A. Ham
itt member of the Window Glass Work
ers' Association, who gave a workingman's s
views of the amendment and what he could
do for it should he support it.
President James Campbell, who has a
reputation as a political and labor stump
speaker, was next introduced, and said:
Some people say that this is a Republican
powerful partyin existence, and is the organi-
zation which will bring about a new era in the
history of Pennsylvania next June, when the

would rather see a dozen dives any time than
a respectable groggery. These are the kind
that made drunkards-no one with semblance
of pride will frequent dive.
Mr.. Campbell then read some statistics,
which showed that, in 1880, IL gallons of
whisky was the pro rata amount consumed,
while in 1887, Is gallons was each mans
average consumption. Continuing he said:
Over 81, 600 OOo, 900 worth of alcoholic liquors
sold in one wear! This wonld build LOCO, 900

directly traceable to whisky. There isn't a
family which has not felt the keen arrow of
intemperance in its midst and hope, for the
sake of our liberty, that we will earnestly ad-
here to the edict as laid down in the amend
ment and implore others to follow our exam

vote for it. should be summarily expelled from
the church. [Cheers.]
There will be another meeting next Satur-
day In the same hall.

A Drummer Tells How His Firm Gets
Ivory for Keys From Africa.
A piano and organ agent VINO is selling
organs in this city was explaining to one of
his lady customers day or two ago the
cause of ivory keys cracking on pianos and
organs. He said his firm had 200 men in
Africa shooting elephants to get ivory for
piano and organ keys. A year ago they
shot two young elephants, and the ivory
from their tusks cracked badly; so they
shoot only old elephants now.
The firm also claimed a patent piano
tester that they stretch on the strings SO
they can screw their instruments up to a
high key, and their goods are the only ones
that will stand the pressure. The lady sur
vived the story.

demnity is absolute. Their Office in this
city is at 81 Fourth avenue, in charge OF
John D. Biggert, who will give prompt at
tention to applications for insurance.

Foreign Glassblowers Said TO Have Been
Sent to This City.
The telegram published in The DIS
PATCH yesterday, to the effect that 26 glass
blowers had landed in Boston and were
booked for Pittsburg, may be correct, but
the men had not arrived at mid
night. President Smith, Of the
American Flints, said he did not believe the
men were intended for the flint factories
here, and President Campbell, of the Win
dow Glass Workers Union, said he did not
believe they were intended for any of the
window glass factories.
The Intimation that these men might have
been imported under contract to make a
factory here non-union, caused quite a
sensation among glassworkers. This report,
however, could not be verified, and as the
men have not yet arrived. nothing definite
as to their engagement could be learned.

If the new Exposition is a success next
fall, tracks will be constructed so as to pass
near the building and return by way of Lib
erty street. The building will not be fin
ished before that time, at least.
