possession he takes the risk of integrity and
solyency of the buyer If the buyer pays the
price without taking possession of the goods
he takes the risk of the integrity and solvency
of his vendor, and subsequent bona fide pur-
chase'wil take good title to the goods. The
other cases disposed of were as follows. all ex-
cept the first being by Justice McCulnm:

The following are samples Of the letters

Peter ShielSs ESQ Chairman Committee on Or
DEAR SIR-Replying to your circular letter of a
few days ago. we are proud to say that we are
ever. to repudiate the nomination made for Gov
ernor by our party. We will not only vote for
Pattison. but will make every effort TO reason
others into doing the same thing.
We are not active politicians. but in the present
instance we feel IT incumbent upon us TO not only
vote according to our own views, DuL Will en-
huence others into voting for an honest man w
regret thar college duties prevent US from
giving much time TO the cause.
From indications we are very hopeful that not
only Allegheny county. but the great State of
Pennsylvania will in November next assert its
preference for upright men, regardless of party
lines. Very respectfully,
Secretary Duf's College.

FIVE DAYS MORE.
THE CLOSING WEEK OF THE EXPO OPENS
WITH A RUSH.

Wonderful Mechanical Birds-Scotch Night
The Patriotic Societies to Turn Out
Wednesday Night--yoters Give Opinions
on the Establishment of Polytechnic
school.
The closing week OF the Exposition
promises to be truly GROWING week in the
way of attendance. Last nights crowd was
very large. Tonight the band will play
Scotch music, and tomorrow night pro-
gramme of American airs has been prepared
in honor of the attendance that night of MEM
bers of all the patriotic orders, such as the Jr.
o. U. A. M, Patriotic Sons of America, and
kindred orders. A large crowd is expected.
Last night the feature was Director Innes'
mechanical birds. The birds are such won
derful imitation of feathered songsters that
three feet away person would easily mistake
them for live birds. Yesterday Director In
nes placed one of the cages on a table in the
Office and the birds would break into song at
hardly have been surprised to see them
plume their feathers OF commence picking at
the bars of their prison.
It is needless to say that the voters at the
Expo last night were in favor of the establish
ment in Pittsburg of q polytechnic school.
The new department in the Western University
has served to more fully awaken thought on

remarks in the affirmative. The only negative

Arthur Kirk g. Sons Exhibit.

Only few days are left in which to eX-
anime the large working model of a lock,
which model is % feet long, II feet wide and
10 feet high. So many people there are to
whom a model is nothing more than blank
wall, unless they can see how it acts, and
why it acts, so that they can duly appreci-
ate this one, when the gates open and shut
and when they can comprehend from the
rising and lowering of the water just how
this remarkable and most valuable inven-
tion will operate in actual use.
Rivermen and all whose business is coll
nected with river traffic or canal transporta-
tion are greatly taken by this practical,
simple patent which can be built so easily,
SO cheaply, so durably, and which when
constructed will save so much time and
money. People were glad to have the old
slackwater systems; they did we'll in their
day, but their day is not now and it is ex-
pected that this new patent will entirely
supersede all others in this section, and if
it proves, as it must, a success here, where
the waters fuctuate from roaring floods
to stretches of sand and gravel dur
ing summer, why then what easy
triumphs it will WIN where tine streams
are more equable. 1t is surely
a grand invention and visitors will find it
to be their own loss if they do not at this
time become acquainted with its mode of
action and merits.
There is species of fascination in those
steam drills belonging to this exhibit, which
work away with such persistence and regu-
larity; they can't be said to conduce to con-
versation as they go pounding on without
cessation. but they are so entertaining and
so full of business that you only want to
watch them and wonder at their resistless
force. Messrs. Kirk & Son have made
Il Il 4 l.
tiers seen in their display; people are usually
content to show one, or maybe two good
patents and models. but these gentlemen
have gone into these instructive, time,
money and labor..saving apparatuses in the
most wholesale manner, and they are to be
congratulated and commended for their
energy and enterprise.

Our sales during the past week,
both wholesale and retail, have
been enormous. 1t was caused not
so much from the large number of
visitors in the city as from the pub
lie having been fully apprised of
the advance in prices which is sure
to take place in the near future.
Manufacturers on both sides of
the water have advanced prices al
ready, but we will continue for a
time (and the time cannot last long)
to serve our customers at the old
rates-the lowest prices ever
touched by Carpets and Curtains
in America.
Parties who expect to furnish new
homes, or refurnish old ones. the
coming spring. can save largely by
buying at once. Goods bought
here will be stored free of charge
until wanted.

the more prominent Independents whose
names they have listed, and ready for prompt
