Rare Casts.

Mr.. Charles L. Fox desires to call atten-
ton to the following rather rare casts now
on exhibition at his Congress street studio,
Thursday afternoons:
wax head, attributed to Raphael and
known as the "Gem of the Museum of
Lille" Vi
Madonna and Child, high relief, by Mic
chael Angelo.
Madonna and Child, by Donatelo; an ex-
ample of very low relief. The Florentines
invented and so perfected the low relief as
to have won for it the title of the Last
Word of Sculpture" This particular Dcna-
tello Is one OF the examples that support
this claim.
As some persons, wishing to visit the stu
dio, have expressed hestaney, fearing to
disturb students, Mr.. Fox desires to state
that such will not be the case, One is free
to come and 60 as one pleases,

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
A CONFESSION.

The truth is wholesome,
always, even if sometimes
unpleasant.
[ have been doing bust
ness here for twenty
years. For more than
twenty years previous
this was a clothing store.
During all these years
only honest goods and
honest ways have been
the rule, and in that re-
spect there never can be
any improvement. But
business methods have
changed. People expect
moro of a merchant than
they did twenty or forty
years ago. Doing bust
ness is something more
than keeping a store with
goods in it.
The stock must be fresh
and attractive, which
mean that goods must be
moved rapidly. This in
wolves loss as well as
profit, for the process ne
cessitates marking the
slow selling things to a
bargain basis. Modern
methods calls for one in
variable price marked in
plain figures with the priv
ilege of returning goods at
pleasure before being
worn. Then people ex-
pect to be told of the
merchandise, w hi c b
means advertising.
I confess to having ig-
nored several Of these i'm
portant features, and per-
haps I deserve to be
called an "old fogy." For
tunately otis never to late
to mend" My eyes have
been opened. I am a re-
generated merchant, and I
intend to regenerate this
old store as rapidly as
possible.
AS a starting point I
begin to-day a system of
advertising which shall
consist of daily news. Not
the commonplace exagger-
ations that bear internal
evidence Of their own un..
truthfulness, such as have
brought discredit to the
very term advertisements.
But actual facts. cold
facts, about the stock and
the store.
Ii what you read seems
to be a matter that inter
ests you, come to the
store expecting to find
the very thing told of.
l will vouch for the lit
eral truth of everything
that appears in print ov-
er my name.
Enough to begin with.

named John II. Gray on charge of theft of
team from Isiah Lord, the Silver Street

USI a word about
Onyx Hosiery.
The universal satisfac-
ton with which the Hos
iery bearing the ONYX
trade mark was received
last season, the unqualified
approval accorded it every
where, and the unmistaka-
bic indications that black
will continue to be pre-
eminently the leading col
or, has encouraged the
manufacturers to make still
further improvement by
the use Of INGRAM
YARNS thereby impart-
ing greater strength and
wearing qualities to the
fabric at the same time re-
tanning all the excellent
properties of the Onyx
dyes, whose superiority ov-
er all others has been SO
thoroughly demonstrated.
The coloring matter in
the Onyx goods is clean,
harmless and positively un-
affected by perspiration
and repeated washings. 1t

clothing and does not grow
rusty nor lose its lustre.

PROGRESS In GEORGIA.

PROGRESS I'm GEORGIA.
Georgia is waking up to the fact that a
good public school system is worth having.
Hitherto the people of that State have not
seemed to realize this as they should, the
taxation for schools there being considerably
below the average In other southern States.
The legislature of Georgia has refused to pass
bill appropriating $15, 900 to the State uni
versity on the ground that the common
schools need the money more. And the
Savannah News says: There is an awakening
throughout the State with regard to public
schools. Thousands of people who few
years ago were Indifferent about them are
now their most earnest advocates. It would
be a mistake not to encourage this awaken
ing, and the only way to do so is to use every
dollar that can be spared in perfeoting the
public school system. The State is bound to
give reasonable amount of support to the
chronological school for boys which it has
established and it is probable that it will
have to support in the near future a similar
school for girls. Public sentiment seems to
favor training school for girls, and there is
no reason why they should not be dealt
with as liberally as the boys. These training
schools must be cared for before the work of
building up the State university by State aid
is seriously entered upon.
It Ia great deal better for Georgia to help
herself in this matter than to ask, even
accept, aid from the government.

THE AMERICAN BOARD.

The meeting of the American Board which
began in New York city yesterday will cer-
tainly be interesting, and it will be quiet and
harmonious If its conductors can make 1t so
and keep "disturbers" from talking. 1t is
evident that tiere is cause for some "dis-
turbance." During the last year the contri-
buttons have been large, yet the Board has
been compelled to have recourse to fund
which was designed only to help in emer-
gencies; that is, $4,000 have been taken
from the SWEET fund to meet current ex-
penses, or $780, 600 more than last year,
"leaving only about 100000 in that fund
which, at that rate, will be exhausted in a
year and quarter. Moreover, the supply
of missionaries has only been furnished by
drawing from other denominations and other
countries; the Congregationalist body in the
United States NO longer furnishes them, and
all our New England seminaries during the
past year have furnished but two for the ser
vice, and one of these goes out as regular
physician.
What will happen this year' A writer in
the Providence Journal says concerning the
outlook The possibilities of labor are
steadily enlarging; to even keep pace with
the normal increase demands much heavier
expenditures of money and large reinforce
ments of men and women; while earnest,
almost insistent, cries come from the field of
labor, like this present moving appeal from
the entire missionary force of Japan, for the
immediate and material enlargement of the
work. But how can the Board reply to these
petitionsi The earnest young men and
women who are most needed have been SO
often refused that they no longer offer them
selves, and new proffer of service would
heve no other result than to infict upon
them q new stigma of heresy. Nor has the
board any assurance that the money essential
to their support would be forthcoming. To
raise even the $50, 900 year more that is
necessary to keep the work of the Board
where 1t is will necessitate the harmonious
action of all lovers of missions in the Con-
gregationa) church. He must be a pro-
nouncsd partisan of the prudential commit
tee who can convince himself that such hsr-
mony is possible under the present condi-
