The Way View York Merchants Draw
Crowd If Enthusiastic shoppers.
Special sales are feature of New
York commercial life in the retail line.
and they contribute more to woman's
pleasure and caprice than any other one
phase of shopping experience. Those
who have never been to one have missed
a heap OF fun. In one of the large up
town stores recently there was run"
on gloves. They were Of superior
quality, and sold for forty five cents.
The sale started at in the morning,
and directly there was spirited scene
around that counter. Women rudely
pushed one another away in their wild
endeavor to get a pair of gloves. One
gave a s. bill and clanored for her
change. Another held pair over the
heads of the crowd and endeavored to
give her money to one of the salesgirls.
This woman, after patiently waiting for
time and seeing no chance of getting
up to the girl, quietly put the gloves in
her muif and sauntered off. She had a
bargain.
After while the change from s. was
brought back. The salesgirl had by this
time become ratified with the confusion
and rapdity with which the gloves were
being bought. and handed the money to
the wrong woman, who put it in her
purse and walked away. The lady to
whom the money belonged, getting un-
easy at the long delay, finally eloowed
her way through the crowd, demanding
her change. and creating no little
excitement. The rush was so great
that the girls behind the counter grew
frantic, and began to cry. The floor
walker ordered the sale closed for
three hours, announcing the time Of
reopeni.g. Then scene of wild con-
fusion was dispelled. and the glove pur-
chasers dispersed themselves over the
store and were soon busted with other
purchases.
Three hours later the glove sale began
again. only to find even a greater crowd
clamoring for covering for their hands
than in the morning. 1t continued only
thirty minutes when it was again stopped
because the clerks could not wait on the
anxious customers. 1t was never re-
opened, but the establishment, all the
same, got first class advertisement out
of the attempt TO sell dollar and half
gloves for forty-five cents.-New York

Locked horns are becoming quite q
fad with some of the swells at the me-
tropolis,' said a gentleman the other day.
land some of the Adirondack hunters and
guides are making nice little sums by
occasional sales of the curiosity that is
demanded. You see, the old story about
the bucks that fall to fighting, and in
some manner get their horns locked SO
they cant get apart and then starve to
death. has taken a strong hold upon the
romantic natures of many people and if
they can only get a set of locked horns
mounted they are happy.
so the hunters select nice horns that
correspond as to size, and by the use of
a twisted cord and case spring them to-
gether as if locked in their death en-
brace by the maddened thrusts of fight
ing bucks. Then. on account of their
great rarity and the difficulty of finding
them, they are sold to the rich curiosity
hunter for big price. His friends look
in wonder and envy at them, while he
recounts the story told him by the guide
who found their skeletons held together
by the horns and the earth all trodden
down around the place SO soidly that
vegetation had not grown there in years,
etc. and the guide goes back to the
woods and fixes up another pair for the
next curiosity seeker. Utica Observer.

THE Borrowings NAVY.

The trial trip of the new United States
cruiser San Francisco last week was
such an eminent success that we are in
a fair way to congratulate ourselves
that we are getting navy that will be
an assurance of a strong defense if we
should ever be called upon to guard our
rights and liberties from foreign aggres-
sion. We are primarily indebted for
this encouraging growth of our naval
power TO ex-Secretary WHITNEY's busi-
ness administration of the navy depart
ment. Owing to his ability and far
SightedneSS system of naval construc-
ton was adopted which so commended
itself to his successor that the work was
taken up by Secretary TRACY where it
dropped from Mr.. WHITNEY's hands,a
as result we will soon have navy to
boast of.
The San Francisco is the first cruiser
that has been built for speed require
ments ON the Pacific coast. The engines
OF the new cruiser were designed by the
bureau of steam engineering, it being
the first time the bureau has attempted
work so a difficult and important
as this. During the trial trip the
other day the cruiser made an
average speed of nearly twenty knots
per hour for over four consecutive
hours, having surpassed her require
ments, and thus showing her capacity
to maintain the prestige of the service
among the ironclads of the world. The
San Francisco, like her sister ships that
have recently been built, is armed with
batteries of nigh power guns. The main
battery of the new cruiser consists of
twelve siX-inch breech-loading guns,
the shells thrown from which have a
penetration of thirteen inches of iron.
The secondary battery consists of four
siX-pounders, four three-pounderS, two
One-pounders, and three thirty-seven-
millimetre rapid-fring guns. besides
four Cuttings.
If JOHN BULL intends to assert his
right to the control of the Behring sea,
the San Francisco will be a handy pro-
tester to have around.

CHILDISH.

The GLOBE regrets to see a DISPOSE
ton on the part of some of the st. Paul
newspapers to belittle the Minneapolis
Exposition. 1t is an exhibition of vim
dictiveneSs that cannot be justified on
either moral or business considerations.
Regardless of whatever feeling may
have been engendered between the two
cities by our recent census troubles, the
prosperity of the two cities is linked
together in such way that one cannot
be damaged without hurting the other.
1t is true the Minneapolis Exposition is
in sense local enterprise, yet it helps
to advertise the whole Northwest, and
for that reason should receive encour-
agement. 1t is an enterprise that will
stand or fall on its own merits: there
fore nothing can be accomplished by
either booming Or browbeating it.
On the other hand, we are equally
panied to See some disposition mani
tested by the Minneapolis papers to
slight the State Fair. This is juvenile
in the extreme. The Hamline fair is
state in stitution, in which all the peo-
pie of Minnesota are equally interested.
But, if it were strictly st. Paul con-
Germ, still it would be display of vim
dictiv eness unworthy of a heightened
community for our friends up the river
to withhold their support from an en-
terprise that is to be a mutual benefit.
Let the fair and the exposition both
have fair shake. and the whole of
Minnesota will be benefited by it.
