XMAS. THE PEoPLE's STORE. 1889.
Presents Useful and OrnamenraI-TOys for
Children-substantInIsf for Grown People.

| Presents Useful and OrnamensaI-TOys for
| ChIldren-subsfanfiaIsf for Grown People.
In looking over this vast establishment
prepared for holiday traffic, the writer was
struck by the fact Of its being so emphati-
cally store for the people-little people,
grown people and aged people. Every de-
partment teens with goods appropriate for
every age and condition. Take the dress
goods department, for example; here
are found the most useful and valu-
able souvenirs that can be conceived.
silk guaranteed to wear, or q staple
cashmere known by its worth and intrinsic
merit-or even a cheaper material, which
in every case can be relied upon as the best
of its kind.
In wraps no such stock has ever been
brought together, both in regard to ample
variety and very wide margin of values.
Nothing that is desirable has escaped the
attention of the house, so that purchaser
may obtain cheap jacket at 50 and run to
the extent of his or her means up to the ex-
pensive grades as high as $50 or if the situ-
alton demands, draw check for 1925 and
thereby possess che best Alaska seal gar
ment that can be found in any market of
the world.
What struck the writer most impressively
was the special holiday ideas which prevail.
Take for example the art goods department,
where everything for interior decoration and
home comfort can be had either in the made
up article or in materials entering into the
construction of the same.
If useful present is demanded, what
strikes one more forcIbly than good silk
or gloria umbrella, embellished with fancy
stick, crowned by a silver, gold or other
head. These are in profusion at prices
which defy comparison or competition.
The children's paradise reigns supreme in
the vast array of toys, games, animals,
dolls, and host of items usually brought
BY the traditional Santa Klaus with which
he sufocates to repletion the stockings hang
ing by the chimney on Christmas Eve. In
fact, the amount of knick-knacks, bric-a-
brac, fancy articles, jewelry, soaps, per-
fumery, brushes, combs, toilet needs
and useful leather goods which can be
found here would confuse the most pains
taking scribe should he attempt to itemize
all that The Peopl's Store presents for the
holiday season. No matter what you want
you will find it here, or should you be at
loss what to select, the indication will be
given you when you inspect the stock. By
the way, prices at this Emporium will as
tonish you. Never were goods so desirable
offered at such figures. A modest purse
will suffice, and money will go a long wavs
if you make judieious selections of what
they offer for Christmastide.

TIE FEDERAL STEEL COMPANY.
J. W. Gates Says That the Deal is COmpIet,

]. W. Gates Says That the Deal IL Complete
and Success II Assured.
j. W. Gates. Secretary of the st. Louis
Barbed Wire Company, and who is also
connected with the Braddoek Wire Com
pany, travelled on to New York last night.
He made an apparent, no doubt laudable,
but altogether Intellectual effort, to dodge
the reporter, who saw an opportunity for
acquiring information on the transactions OF
the Federal Steel Company, concerning
which more or less conflicting reports have
been in circulation for the past few days.
"Mr. Gates, how is the Federal Steel
Company getting along?" was asked.
''The Federal Steel Company, a-hem! Do
you know that regard the probabilities of
St. Louis obtaining the much coveted
Worlds Fair as being exceedingly good.
Now, in Washington, we have -"
The reporter, however, interrupted him
and insisted on an answer to his question.
"Well, you are the most hardened Pitts
burg reporter have yet met with. What
do you desire to know?"
SIS the company go?
SIT is 60"
"Have all the firms signed?"
''Not all yet; but the firms that have been
holding aloof will sign at the next meeting.
I am authorized to sign for Them
"When and where will the next meeting
be held?"
Tomorrow or next day at the Gilsey
House in New York. regard the success
of the company as assured. It is go, SIR"
and glad to be relieved from any further
interrogatories, Mr.. Gates retired within his
section to cogitate.

10 SEE THE AUDITOR GENERAL.
Lawrence Depositors' Committee Leaves
for Harrisbmg-It Looks Blue for
smaIi storekeepers.

Lawrence Depositora' Committee Leaves
for HarrisbRrR-It Looks Blue fol
Small stOrekeepers.
Senator Upperman, in company with
Lawyer George G. Wilson, went to Harris
burg last night on business for the Lawrence
Bank depositors. The Senator said that the
object of his journey was to lay the affairs
of the bank before the Auditor General,
He assumed that receiver would be ap-
pointed to iquidate the concern, but when
it would be he could not say.
At the last meeting there were some zoe
or 800 depositors present, who, he has hopes.
will come out better than was popularly
supposed. What is the real condition OF
the banks affairs, only those on the inside
can tell. There was nothing to indicate
that the money of the depositors had been
improperly used, and anything that might
be limited in this direction was founded on
conjecture. The reasons for the prosecution
of the president and cashier would be found
at length in the act of 1879, which regulated
banking affairs.
No new developments in the Lawrence
Bank failure were manifest yesterday.
Though encouraging reports have been
made at various times by the directors, who
gloom in the neighborhood is thick, and it
will remain until statement is presented
by the assignee officially.
Many of the depoSitors fear that they will
only receive a small percentage of their
money, and they say that it will take them
years to regain the position they were in a
few weeks ago. A number of reports were
circulated about the locality yester-
day that some Of the small
storekeepers would be obliged to
close their establishments, because they
we're short of funds, and their creditors
were becoming little irritable. The de-
positors committee say, if any immediate
demand is made on the small storekeepers
to settle up their liabilities, number of
stores, especially in the Fifteenth ward,
Will have to shut their doors as the bank
did.
The directors of the bank still maintain
that they will pay dollar for dollar, and all
they desire is time to demonstrate their pre-
dictions The uneasiness of depositors, said
one director, is due to the exaggerated re-
ports of depositors as to the amounts of
money they had in the hands of the bank
when it closed its doors. In nearly all cases,
said the director, the reports as printed in
the press are absurdly high, and all we want
is little time to reveal the truth Of this
statement.

The Rector Says That the Lot is Not Now
in the Market.
The attention of Rev. W. r. Maekay,
rector of St. Peters Protestant Episcopal
Church. was called last evening to a story
published that the property at the corner of
Grant and Diamond was to be sold, that st.
Peters and Trinity parishes were to be con-
solidated, and that he was to be rector, with
Rev. Mr.. Maxwell as assistant. Rev. Mr..

hard at the questioner. "The story is new
to me-" he said, "I never heard 1t before
this minute For some years I have heard
talk about selling this property and build
ing better church, but the property is not
now in the market. OF course, if a very
good offer were made, suppose that the

The story is laughed at as ridiculous by
number Of people connected with both

got down to 200. The warmest point
reached was $50 on Saturday, November 2.
The mean temperature was 4314. which is

Tried for Robbery.

Tried for Robbery.
William Cooper was the name given by a
seedy-looking gentleman with what is
known in police parlance a most terrific
'.jag'' on Saturday night at the Central. A
glance at his countenance assured the ar
tistic eyes of Inspector McAleese that he
had seen it somewhere before, but whether
as the head of walking cane or study from
life in the rogues' gallery, he could not
recollect. On consulting the reference, the
Inspector accosted the visitor, asking him
if he were not Samuel Houston, wanted in
New Castle for robbing and jail breaking
on October 10.
So he proved to be, and last night Detec-
tive J. B. Brown, of New Castle, who is
also member of the Legislature, arrived
and identified his man, taking him back to
the Jail from which he had uneoncernedly
walked out couple of months ago.
