Heretofore it has been almost impossi-

for men without paying quite a large price
for them. Such is no longer the case. We
have exerted strenuous efforts, and now
have the pleasure of placing before you
not only the finest qualities and most re-
liable dyes, but the most inexpensive
line we have ever offered. As with the
ladies' and children's hose we also guar
antee these to be absolutely fast in color,
and not to crock or fade in washing.

5 inches up selling for two cents more
than the size smaller. These are i'll
plain, ribbed and drop stitched styles.
and each and every grade represents all
that the particular price can possibly
procure. As absolutely fast black hose
are boon to the purchaser, we conf
IDENTIFY predict an unusually large demand
for these special qualities.

A breach Of promise suit for $780,
coo, brought recently by Miss Eliza
beth Hubbell, of New York, against
DR.. Charles Bliss, of the same city,
has been ended, but not by the
court, or by reason of a compromise.
Miss Hubbell walked into court the
other day confident that she would
win the case. and few hours later
she was dangerously i'll from ner-
vous prostration. DR.. Bliss had
died suddenly the preceding night,
and when the fact was communica-
ted to her in court she tainted, and
when she became conscious again
she went into Mysteries. The shock
was too great for her, and the proba-
billity is that she will die.
