N. Y. Tribune Mayor Grants eagle eye has caught sight of the advertisement, in sThe City Record" of the district-at- torney's requisition for stationery. That the mayor is right in calling halt in this business will be apparent to any one who glances at the items in Colonel Fellows requisition. For instance, there were A, GOO envelopes used in the district attorney 's office last year already this year Gin less than three months) p, 300 envelopes have been used, and no less than 43. 500 more are wanted! Last year 95,000 sheets of paper were used; this year 210,000 are asked for, in addition to 8O,000 already used. In twelve months in 1888, 12 quarts of mucilage were used but in January, February and three weeks of March, 1889 25 quarts have been consumed. And sc on through the list. It is not enough tc cancel this advertisement, as the mayor has ordered. Cannot Colonel Fellows be compelled to explain why these extraordi nary demands were made?

Springfield, March 20, 1889.

Springfield, March 20, 1889. WE arc very exacting about black silks. Would rather do any other part of our business badly than silks. There are few sorts of merchandise that you can buy more more upon confidence in the seller few that can bring the merchant more credit for good management.
 An American maker said to us not long since: "My idea is to place the silk fab- ric in the position that rightly belongs to it, ]. e., at the head of all fabrics for wear, appearance, and necessarily for economy
 His silk you cannot distinguish from the best Lyons silk. It has the luster, the softness, the pliable readiness in drapery of an old fashion Bonnet. In no respects is it inferior in beauty of surface or soft ness of fabric to the ancient silk of the most famous maker of Lyons. It is called the Neverslip brand, of which we are sole agents for this vicinity.
 F., and to get your careful scrutiny on it we are selling his silks % to 50 cents below proper value.
 We offer his silk with something sub- stantial to depend on. We are authorized to guarantee them extraordinary for wear in every respect. We do so guarantee them and this guaranty we ask to have interpreted quite liberally; not so lib. erally as to make it absurb; but so lib erally as to show high degree of conf dence in the silks.
 It is not superhuous for maker and merchant to guarantee silks for wear. II only replacing defective work as soon as the defect is discovered. There is no other way to put the loss on the maker. Samples for the asking. Left aisle.

Washington gossip in The Chicago Tri- bune: l was put in the way of gentle man last night who took dinner with the new president the other day.
 "It was not state dinner" he said. I understood that.
 "It was plain course dinner. The president was at the head of the table. I was the only one present not a member of the executive family. We talked about home matters, and never touched on poli- tics. He asked me about my wife and ba- bies, and we talked about the executive family. The president, like his predeces- sors, begins to feel that the appropriations for white house expenses are not sufficient, and think he realizes that he will leave there a pauper. His luncheons during this week have been very costly, and yet he has given no state dinner. The money for these comes out of his pocket. At the rate he has begun he will have to draw on his private fund at the end of the first month to meet his bills. The Washington butcher and baker and grocer are no re. sRecters of persons.

Mrs. Harrison is a good housekeeper, and she doesn't like the restraint at the white house. I would not be surprised to fin6 her some of these mornings down at the Central Market doing her own buying. She is used to that sort of thing. The president is used to plain cooking, and don't think he can live on the gingerbread style of cuisine which that Chicago cool turns out.

In Princeton college he was renowned pitch CT, and to prove that he had not lost his cunning the following story is told of him
 His success as preacher never caused his love of the national sport to subside. Whenever he could he got out on the ball field and sent his curved balls flying over the plate. One of the best incidents of his career as player occurred at Mackinaw, Mich, few summers ago. Young Smith had stopped off there with some friends to see the fort. The soldiers had fine ball team, and were fond of defeating picked hines from among the hotel guests. A challenge was issued while Smith was there. He accepted an invitation to play. His pitching abilities were not known, and he was ordered to cover second base At the end of the third inning the score stood s to 0 in favor of the soldiers. Then the young minister went to the catcher and said
 "Let me pitch ittle."

 "A little, guess, was the reply. Smith took the pitchers box. The first few balls that went spinning over the plate convinc ed the captain that an old hand was at the helm, and he took courage. Soldier aftel soldier struck out, player after player famed the air in vain efforts to hit the puzzling curves. From the moment Smith entered the box not not soldier scored. The score of to in favor of the holders of the fort fin the third inning changed tc 12 to 8 in favor of the hotel team at the end of the ninth. The soldiers had me their first defeat, and left the field discon solate. The spectators from the hote were wild with enthusiasm. Their en thusiasm was mingled with surprise whe1 they learned that the pitcher who won the game was clergyman.

Holland County Leader A Stoning- ton correspondent says: "Some years ago Andrew J. Gnrley came with his family to Stonington from the wilds of Holland county. When the borough instituted the system of street lights he became the light CT thereof, and proved faithful to his du- ties. A year or more ago an aged parent died in Holland county, and our neighbor here was obliged under the will to receive quite handsome property-enough to place him on the list of our wealthiest. Last week he sold his residence on Main street, and he will soon hie himself back again to his native heath in Mansfield. Who will be his successor in the apple and oil traffic is not known."
