THERE is NO USE TALKING. DOL
LARS AND CENTS WILL DO 1T.

The talk among ladies is Kahn's
closing out sale. His 45 cent kid
gloves are going fast. Why? Be-
cause others sell the same glove for
81 pair.
Ever since Kahn inaugurated his
closing out sale other merchants are
crying hard times, etc. This proves
that low prices and polite attention
will do it.
Kahn's store is crowded from morn
ing till night. What does it? The
answer comes easy. Low prices and
big bargains in all departments.
Any one looking for bargains will
surely find them at A. Kahn's grand
closing out sale.

 One of the incidents of President Cleve lands visit to Boston is too rich material for modern farce to be allowed to pass unre- corded. When the eX-President was at the Hon. Leopold Morse dropped in upon him to tender him the freedom of the city. The ex- President was perplexed about something and when Mir. Morse was told that Mrs. Cleveland had omitted to put a few white cravats in Mir. Cleveland's grip sack. Mir. took his own white choker from his neck and insisted upon the ex-President's accept ance of the same. Descending to the parlor without a crarat, he gave verbal message to colored boy 10 run over to his house and ask Mrs. Morse 10 send him the needed arti- cle. The colorAd boy, laboring under the impression that the eN-Congressman resided opposite to the hotel, instead of q block be- low, made his demands known at the resi- | dence of Mir. E. Rollins Morse. The request after some hesitation was complied with, and the eX-Congressman received not one crnvat | but two. neatly infolded in A mouchor with embossed initials. The mystery was finally 1 explained, and the banquet went on.

Roman Catholic Church To Go It Alone In
 Brazil.
 Private advices received in New York from Brazil confirm the dispatch published few days after the proclamation of the, republic, to the effect that the new governments pro. posed to sever the connection between the Roman Catholic Church and the State that had existed under tue monarchy. From a perfectly reliable source th's cablegram was received: "BraZilian Government proposes separating church from State." Under the monarchy the established religion was the Roman Catholic, but the Constitution Xuaran- teed the foleration of other religions 50 far IS the performance of worship was concerned, ia buildings provided for the purpose, but without the exterior form of churches.
 The Roman Catholic clergy and their edu- cational institutions were maintained by u Le State, the annual cost exceeding the cost cf public education. Brazil constitutes m ec- clasiastieul province, with . Metropolitan Archbishop. whose seat is at Bahia, and II Sutfragan Bishops, 12 Wears General and POGO curates. There are II Catholic Sem.- naries, most of which have been under Gov ernment subsidy. For the support of these ecclcsiastics and their various institutions the appropriation for 1SS7-6S was $454 eco. In the same budget the appropriation for public education was $2SO ,OOO. Under the new Government the church will be thrown back upon its own resources.

DROWNED HIMSELF.
Philadelphia Bank President Believed
 to Have Shielded.
Possible Cause, Pecunlary Embarra . sments Body Not F. midwife Gives Him
 Up For Dead.

Joseph G. Ditman, president of the Quaker City National Bank of Philadelphia, dsap- peared in Il most mysterious manner last week, and is supposed to be at the bottom of the Schuylkill canal. MT. Ditman left his pa latial Spring Garden street home to take a drive in the park. He was in good spirits. The last time he was seen alive was just after he crossed the Falls bridge from the river drive in the West Park. He was then on his way home. Within half an hour afterwards his horse with the empty carriage was found wandering in the drive. The distance be tween where the horse was caught and where Mir. Ditman was last seen is not more than half mile. What has become of Mir. Ditman is a mystery, but it is believed that he either fell or jumped into the canal and was drown ed. There was nothing to indicate that there had been runaway. Two grapplers were worked, but they could not find a trace of Mir. Ditman's body.
 There were reports today that Mir. Ditman had been for some days pushed for ready money. It is known that on Dec. 3 he gave q director of the Quaker City Bank check for $1500, which was dated the 4th, one day ahead. Mir. Ditman requested that it be held for a few days. When it was finally pre- sented at the Merchants Bank last Monday the cashier of that institution returned it to the Quaker City Bank with the statement that there were no funds to meet 1t. The check was paid, however, on Wednesday. There are rumors of other financial difficult ties, but nothing affecting the bank of which he is president. The board of directors met and went over the books, after which they issued statement that the assets of the bank arc perfectly correct.
 Mr. Ditman is worth over $4OO,OO0, and ! carried a very heavy insurance on his life. | It is said that good share of 1t has been added recently. A New York insurance broker said that he had placed S5O,OOO on Mir. Ditman's life, and he was of the impress sion that he Ina l at least $loo,oo0 altogether. | tic in his habits.
