about 10000 quintals, it will not be more
than 100000 quintals. This will be a
meagre supply compared with the catch of

A Solemn Joke.

With the present number of vacant pul.
pits in this city which are being supplied by
strangers, 1t would be well for each to follow
the examples of Congress square church by
hanging on the outer wall sign stating the
denomination and pastor, thus preventing
the recurrence of what came near being a
solemn joke on one congregation which at
present is without pastor.
Yesterday, as the people were gathering at
High street (CongregationalisD church, a
stranger presented himself and informed the
usher that he was to preach there. There
upon he was conducted to the study, and
soon appeared in the pulpit, and commenced
to lay out his work. You can Judge of the
surprise depicted ON the face of Rev. DIR.
Fenn as he opened the study door and saw
upon the platform stranger, about to read
the first hymn. 1t was not until after the
stranger was asked to retire to the study
that he learnced that he was in
the wrong pulpit. Explanations followed.
and the stranger was escorted to the proper

Bagley. editor and publisher Oh the uioDe
was in his Office with several OF his employees
All at once stranger entered by the rear
door who was evidently unsteady in his
walk. and somewhat tired out with the Ia
tipues of the day He informed Mr.. Bagley
that his uncle was an owner in the Adver-
tiser and that he had come in to protect his
property.
Mr. Bagley politely informed the stranger
that the Advertiser Office was next door, and
that he should be very glad to have him go
there to protect it, But the stranger was
not to be baked in that way, and Mr.. Bag
lev concluded to step into Morse d Bunce's,
close by and telephone the police station.
While he was gone, the foreman of the
Globe office and two Of the compositors
started to come up into the Office from the
basement through the trap door, but the
stranger didn't believe in being taken by
surprise in that direction and he dropped
the trap door thus preventing their:exit. Mr..
Bagley returned, not knowing this latter
fact, but noticing the chap was apparently
quiet also rested waiting for the officers. All
at once he heard the sound of falling type
and looking towards the imposing stone saw
that the stranger had swept several handfuls
of type off the stone on to the floor. He
made rush for him when the man put both
arms around the columns of type lying on
the stone, pulled them off, and jumped on
them. Mr.. Bagley made spring for the
stranger. just as the foreman and compost
tors lifted the trap door, Bagley and the man
went down together, the Globe employees
went to help Bagley and lots of type rolled
through the trap door into the basement.
Then the police came in and took the great
news distributor to the station. The loss to
Mr.. Bagley will amount to something like
$50, in the making of advertisements and
other valuable printing matterinto pie. AT
the station the man gave the name of Charles
King. The whole affair lasted about 20 min
utes.

We want you to know

that it is the place to get
every Leather thing from a
cheap coin purse to a Glad
stone valise; moreover we
would impress you with the
fact that the prices are all

1t is the favorable prices
that has made the depart
ment what it is, one of the
largest and most important
in the store. We will put
the emphasis, then, on the
prices. The styles are the
latest-you would expect
that - the quality is the
best-next to price we en-
phasize quality = and the
workmanship is of the high

our Leather goods are
made by one big manufac-
turer in Philadelphia, the
leader in his line in this
country, and ours is the
