JACK THE RIPPER,
Causes a Sensation Upon Amer
 ican Soil!
A STARTLING ANNOUNCEMENT
What Shall We Do !?

Since the English papers brought this unique character before the world speculation has been running wild, the unexpected has been happening, and we only know this invisible monstrosl:y by his actions. When we look about upon American soil and see what the ''great trusts" are doing, what the com petitive system is developing, we have 'Jack the Ripper on gigantic scale. It is cutting prices on every hand, and other things being equal those whose expenses are the least can sell the cheapest. This is an acknowledged fact. The furniture dealers of the country, as we'll as the public at large are amazed at the growth of the Waterbury Furniture Co, 20 Grand street, accomplishing in SIX YEARS what it takes many firms HALF A CENTURY.
 Here is the way we do it:
 I. The buildings in which we do business belong to the firm, the rent going into our pockets.
 2. Connected as we are with other large firms in Boston and New York, it enables us to buy in such vast quanti- ties that the manufacturers pay al freight, a saving to Us of at least Ic per cent.
 5. Our facilities for handling goods are such that six men can do the work of ten. This is a very heavy saving 1T itself.
 4. Every one in this establishment is a tireless worker. In this way we claim to be able to put our goods on the market at the very least possible price to the customer. Of course we are short of room and cannot show ou goods as we would like to. We eX pected to have our New Building uI this spring, but we were compelled tc wait to make arrangements about lano adjoining.

To my Long Suit you pay no attention at all The way that you Deal with mes hard; find it is utterly useless to Call, For you never pay heed to my Card. 1rel!ed on my Queen, all too blindly, 'tis true But the blunder was not on my part, could give you no Diamonds, that you well

 But how could tell you'd no Heartf Isacrifced all for the sake of your Hand, even abandoned my Club; But all to no purpose you don't understand, And, as Hamlet would say, There's tho

 You would follow my Lead any where; And for once you spoke truth when you said

THE WORLDS FAIR
It Will Be Held ill New York
 City ill 1892.
Enthusiastic Meetings at Which Leading
 New Workers Were Present.

oils Adopted Stirring Resolutions and
 Appointed a Committee of sIxty-A Big
 Meeting in tho Mayors Office and a
 Committee on Organization Appointed
 How the Funds Will be Raised.
 NEW YORK, July 26.-A number of the wealthiest and best known citizens of New Y York met at the Mayors office yesterday afternoon and discussed plans for the Worlds Fair which it is proposed to hold in this city in 1892. Mayor Grant was made permanent chairman of the committee of arrangements, and Wm. M. Spear Secre- sary.
 J. Edward Simmons at once moved that 1t be the sense of the meeting that a Worlds Fair be held in New York city In 1892, and that a committee be appointed to take the matter In hand without delay.
 Applause greeted the motion, and 1t was carried without dissenting vote. Then it was resolved that the committee be called "The Committee for International EXposi- ton in 1892"
 Controller Meyers moved the appoint meut of a committed of 20 on plans. Presi- dent Smith, of the Chamber of Commerce moved to amend so that four committees of 8 each be appointed, namely, on Perna- nent Organization, Finance, Legislatior and Site.
 Ex-Gov. Cornell thought the site commit- tee should not be appointed until a later date. This would be one of the most deli cate questions to be considered, and great care should be exercised inregard to 1t. Few shared his view, however, and the motion for four committees was carried. The Mayor and Secretary were made mem- bers ex-officio of all tho committees. The Mayor will appoint tho committee decided upon early during the coming week. The meeting of the New York Chamber of Commerce adopted resolutions, among them the following:
 This Chamber believes that the indispen- sable condition necessary to insure for the proposed Exposition a great national and international success Is that the promoters and managers should be at tho commence. ment freed from pecuniary apprehension and embarrassment and enabled to devote their tune and energies to the important demand which will necessarily be made upon them.
 "They furthermore believe that tho Fed eral Government, the State of New York and the City of New York should furnish all tho required money, with the exception of such expenditures as are incident to a preliminary organization. That the various States of the Union should only be asked to furnish their own headquarters, or such other exclusive accommodations as they may requlre."
 A committee of sixty was appointed whose duty it shall be to cooperate with the national, State and city authorizes, and make such preliminary arrangements as may be deemed by them desirable, and tc promote such legislation as may be neces sary to secure the object in view. Ex-Presl dent Cleveland heads the committee.

RAYMING FANClES.

August August Is a moody fellow;
 Blue eyes fit for pleading lover Surly brows are gathered over, Under tangled hair and yellow; His hot lip is curled and scornful, Red as silken poppy flower, Poatlng now, and proud and sour, Quiikly trent bling, blanched and mournful Like ripened russet flushing Where the sun has sidewise kissed it. Hid in leaves he well-ngh missed it, His smooth cheek is brown and blushing. Hurried breath that's spent in signing, Or, as quickly, coming after, Ringing gusts of stormy laughter, Love of life and threats of dyingl All because fair Summer flouts him, Wanton smiles when noon is burning, Hears his vows. then, coyly turning, Flies at Eve and swears she doubts hint Vain, poor August thy lamenting- Not for thee her dark eyes smiling, Nor her honeyed lips beguiling- She will only feign relenting! Better, better, WOO sedately
 Her who comes, with golden fllet- Binding hair like blowing millet- Autumn, garnet-clad and statelyl
