mARsHELL, THE CASH GRocER,
VIII Save You Money.


Let us talk this matter over and see il we
can find any reason why should save you
money.
have the largest retail grocery trade in
Western Pennsylvania. My trade extends,
not only all through Western Pennsylvania,
but Ohio and West Virginia. My sales
amount to 5000, 900 per year, or over $4, 900
per week. II l make per cent profit on my
sales clear 81, 900 per year or $40 per week.
Your grocer probably has nice store on
some prominent corner of the city or in some
thrifty town. But from the nature OF his
business his trade is limited to his locality
or to his town. If very thrifty and energetic
he may make his sales amount to $500 per
week or one-tenth (1-10) of my sales. As
his sales are but Ito O. nv sales, be must
have ten times my profit to realize the same
amount of money as 1 do. In order to clear
$40 per week he must have 10 per cent
profit.
But this is not all; as sell ten times as
many goods I, of course, buy ten times as
many and buying in much larger quantities
buy much cheaper, tor you know the
''longest pole always knocks the persim-
mon."
Then again do a strictly cash trade, and
lose nothing from bad debts. From the
efforts the Retail Grocers' Association Is
making to have it possible to collect their
accounts, their losses from this source must
be very great indeed.
1 guarantee to save you 20 per cent on
your groceries. Don't take ry word for 1t,
but send Tor my weekly price list and COM
pare my prices with what you are paying.
1t will only cost you cent for postal card.
Orders amounting to $40, without counting
sugar. packed and shipped free OF charge to
any point within 200 miles.

ROUGH ON THE CARS.

A Banner That Turned Out TO be q Great
Novelty for AlIcghenians.
Some days ago Northside organization
who intend to hold a picnic swung ban
ner announcing this tact across Federal
street at the corner of Ohio street.
The rain of Friday night caused it
to droop low enough to catch the
air pipes that project from the roofs of pass
ing street cars. When pipe was caught
the banner stretched, but when the pipe
gave way the force was strong enough to
throw the pipes as though shot from cata-
pult. The novelty became somewhat dan
gerous to pedestrians, as a lady narrowly
escaped being hit.
Acting Chief Glenn tried to induce some
of the front Office force to tighten the ropes,
but the boys were all afraid to attempt any
pole climbing and he had to do it himself

mo FEAR OF EPIDEMIC.

Allegheny City Omcinis Deny that Typhoidis
Rampant-An Agitation to Secure \ Purer
Water supply.
The health officers and City Physician
pronounce the story that there is an alarm
ing typhoid epidemic in Allegheny as not
only absurd, but false. Considerable in
dignation prevails at headquarters at what
the board claim is most decided pervers-
ion of facts The records at City Hail show
a death rate for the week of As, of which
only five are credited to typhoid. This is
eoualed by the record of last July, and
there was no particular alarm felt last year.
In regard to the spring at the head Of
Shields alley, from which the majority of
the residents Of that neighborhood obtain
their supply of drinking water, and which
is stated to be the source of the disease, the
health officer said that, while they doubted
the statement, yet, considering prevention
better than cure" they have stationed an
officer at the spring to caution the people
not to use the water.
DR.. Woodburn, City Physician of ALLIE
gheny, said but 20 cases of typhoid fever
were reported to him during the present
month, and he knows of the existence of no
others. As to the possibility of an epidemic
he said:
You may positively state that there is no pos
sibilty of an epidemic. The physicians are
efficient, the sewerage good and the knowledge
of the fever sufficient to control the cause.
Typhoid is not G contagious disease. and the
germs are destroyed the moment theyleave the
body by proper disnfectants. i think the re-
cent protracted wet weather q principal cause
of the fever as decomposing and evaporating
pools of water tend that way.
consider that considerable OF this furry Is
caused by men who want a better supply of
water While sympathiZe with their desire,
cannot admire the method taken to attain the
end.
Milk is also great method of conveying dis
ease, A case was reported the other day of
boy from the Second ward whose family used
no lilo uids but milk. recall, some few years
ago, when a milkman who lived some distance
from the city caused quite an epidemic here
by supplying milk to his customers obtained
from a farm on which there was case of
typhoid fever.
Mr.. Patterson. of the Allegheny General
Hospital, said last night that all of the
fever patients were doing we'll, except one,
who was in a very critical condition. The
last patient was brought from 8 point out
the Perrysville road yesterday morning, and
has not been in the hospital long enough to
have his case perfectly diagnosed.
One death each from typhoid fever, scar
let fever and scarletins were reported to the
Pittsbdrg Board of Health yesterday.

A WOULDBE SUICIDE.

A Mill Hand Who CoRld Get No Work Cuts
His Throaf-His Wife Thought He Was

Henry Colgan, a married man, 80 years
of age, attempted to commit suicide at his
home, at the rear Of 1873 Penn avenue,
shortly after o'clock last night. The
weapon used was a razor, and the man will
probably die from his wounds.
Colgan was mill hand, but could get no
work, and this, in connection with a few
family troubles, led to his attempt to take
his life About o'clock he came home and
prepared to shave himself After retiring to
his room, slight scream was heard, fol-
lowed by noise as if some one had fallen
to the floor. Mrs. Colgan broke open the
door and discovered her husband lying
upon the floor with three terrible gashes
about his neck inflicted by the razor, and
from which great deal of blood was fow-
ing. Mrs. Colgan Immediately notified
Officer McGovern, who had Colgan removed
to the West Penn Hospital. The injury
was so serious that it was stated by the
authorities at the hospital that his recovery
is impossible. Colgan has two small chill
dren who were dependent upon their father.

From the promises now made, I con-
