If there were an official in

in quantity as well, the united

There is a feeling Of dePres-

Concerning Dress Textures.

In making the claim that stock of Dress Goods
the largest single collection be found anywhere either
home abroad, the evidence does upon
testimony upon that of our partial patrons but
upon the voluntary testimony of dsneresed eXPerts-men
who know the dress goods market of the world.
We have perhaps PardOnabe pride the fact that Pha
depha should lead all other cities both of the Old and New
World, in this important branch of the business. 1t is
strange but undenabe fact that single house Paris
show a collection equalling Of goods made in
their city and provinces.
The grand collection recently opened and rapidly
being distributed still intact in assortment and should be
inspected by every lady within days ride Of Philadelphia
for it is exhibit not surpassed in its line by the Worlds
Exposition.

FROM MANY CORRESPONDENTS
WHO IS THE BARD OF TOWER HALL?

I'm receiving letters daily
With this tenor to them all,
ooh, pray tell US, tell us truly,
Mr.. Bard of Tower Hall,
Are you single; or, If married,
Do you lead a Wretched life2
Do YOU write of midnight lectures,
Being lectured by your wife?'
Are you Irish, French OF German?
Curiosity assuage
By an answer truly given
To the question, What's your age2
Are you Quartered in an attic,
Do you there have board and bed?
Are you thin like other poets?
Have you raven locks OF red?"
Surely, gentlemen and ladies,
/, the Bard Of Tower Hall,
Will appear before the curtain,
When so earnest is the call.
To the question, first in order.
will answer make with pride,
By the silken cords of Hymen
Both my heart and hand are tied.
I'm not Quartered in an attic,
But have quarters that admit
OF my sitting in a sanctum,
To indulge in attic wit.
When my happy wife is near me,
And the smile that's ever bright
Wins the favor of the muses.,
While my poems l indite;
Having hair that's neither raven
Nor the color Of brick,
] am somewhat thin in body,
And in head a little "thick,"
Being thus, the odds are with me,
That my way through life I'll win
Thick in head and thin in body,
/ can go through thick and thin.
In my politics peculiar
I've one tenet, that is all
l would have our Nations councils
Held in famous Tower Hall
I was born in this land Of freedom;
AS You wish my age TO know:
/, to-day, am ten years older
Than / was ten years ago.
Scripture teacheth my religion
'Tis no dogma Of a school
1t is this: 70 love my neighbOrs
And observe the Golden Rule.
Doing this my readers many,
I advise you one and all
To ever buy your clothing

Grated Sheriff Allen; that the charge
was trivial and all the articles that

tee justifying Sheriff Allen was adOp-

The indications are that Senator

task of dividing up the Federal patron

An Opportunity for Portland.

To the Editor of the Press:
Now is the time to call attention of the
shoe manufacturers of Lynn to the facilities
for conducting their business in Portland.
There are buildings here that would be i'm
mediately available. Property sowners and
all other citizens of Portland would be ben
Gifted by having additional manufactures
established here.
If the Board of Trade could send some
person at once to interview the many manu-
facturers who must find suitable convent
ences (maDy of them immediately for con-
tinuing their business, their attention might
be turned toward Portland in practical
way that would bring immediate and practi-
cal results. Even temporary location of a
mandatory here would be of benefit and
might result in permhnents location.
If not practical for the Board of Trade to
take immediate action in practical way, it
might be well for the owners of real estate
In Portland, especially the owners of build
lngs that are un0ccupied or yielding an in
SUFFICIENT rental to make united effort in
the direction suggested. The establishment
OF additional manufactures here would
mean the addition of bread winners and
bread consumers, and an increased popula-
tion beneftting the whole community.
