We are Distributors of Dry
Goods

on such a scale, as affords undoubted
advantages to consumers on the one
hand, and to the largest producers on
the other.
1t is, of course, impossible for the
manufacturer and consumer to come into
contact and deal directly with one
another. In times gone bv, three sets
of merchants stood between the buyer
and the maker. First-the importer
or commission merchant who sold to
second-the jobbsr or wholesale dealer,
who in turn, sold to third-the retail
merchant. This system of business
caused three profits to be placed on the
goods before they reached the con-
sumner. Now all this is changed. One
profit takes the place of three, and con-
sumer and maker come as nearly tOgeth-
er as economic laws permit and meet at
our counters. This great mart, with its
system perfected by years of experience,
trial and growth, is not only a necessity
and a convenience to the people, but is
undoubtedly money-saving organiza-
ton on an extensive scale. In no other
way can the vast and varied products
OF the times De properly and ecOnom-
ically distributed, except through such
an agency. The makers themselves,
each producing but one class of goods,
and without any organization for distri-
button, would be utterly unable to dis
tribute their products, except at great
disadvantage, and at high prices to
buyers, while the latter, compelled to
go to hundred sellers instead of one,
would be under even greater disadvan-
tage, both as to labor and in the pay
ment of the higher prices, A great re-
tail store then, is the out-growth of a
legitimate demand, a necessity of the
times, and striking instance of the
economic power of systematic organiza-
ton. Under no other system would it
be possible to distribute the products of
a thousand makers so economically and
well to the mil ions waiting to receive
them; which millions secure said pro-
ducts at price made inevitably moder-
ate by the competition of the makers at
our counters; aud the cost of handling
the goods from producer to consumer is
scarcely appreciable to each buyer. SC
vast is the volume of business transacted
by this great economical organization
But to attain the highest degree o.
efficiently, and to secure the best result.
to the public, the organization must bt
on a scale sufficient to command the
markets of the world in its lines of busi
ness; to watch all markets and to buy
largely when prices are low enough; tC
pay the cash promptly for the entire
product OF mill, if necessary, whicl
product will be rapidly distributed
among thousands of buyers, each Sc
curing just the quantity desired--say on,
yard or twenty-at the advantage OBJ
tanned by the great organization, plu
the one small profit which is small
indeed to each individual buver.
We venture to claim that, in the vas
and varied field of Dry Goods, we nav
established and build up just such al
organization as is here described; anC
it is our aim, not alone to make money
but to transact business on such a broaC
basis and on such a scale in cur chOsel
line, that the greatest good to tn
greatest number may result.

There was no fault to find al bout the
weather yesterday by baseball cranks, and
the 1,O21 enthusiasts of the game who went
to Exposition Park to see the home and
New York P. L. teams play, couldn't but
enjoy themselves as far as weather was con-
cerned. The game was the last of the season
between Mr.. Ewing's team and our pennant-
winning disappointments. 1t was tolera-
bly, fair game, and 1t was won on its merits
by the visitors. The grounds were in excel
lent condition, and the few errors made were
not attributable to anything except the
shortcomings of those who made them.
Hank O'Day was again in the box, and
whatever hopes there were about the home
fellows pulverizing him were blighted. Hank
wasn't in as good form as on Friday. but he
was sufficient of riddle to defeat the home
talent.
He lacked steadiness He was well backed
up, however by his associates, and, altogether,
they won a contest in which they always had
the best of it; that is, they had the game won
from the start. Lawyer O'Rourke added more
fame to his name by banging out a home run to
center field. 1t was a clean swipe, and no flies
on it at all.
Staley pitched in very good form, but Tommy
Quinn made a couple of serious mistakes in the
way of allowing the ball to pass him twice. Ex-
cepting Fields, the team tielded we'll and Beck
ley surprised the natives by making an expert
bunt and, in the same inning, doing some re-
markable base running.
How the runs were secured Is soon told. In
the second inning O'Rourke led off for the visit
ors with a double to left, and he scored on
Johnston's single in the same direction.
Vaughn hit the ball safely into the diamond, and
Johnston stole third. Shannon struck out, and
Vaughn got to second on passed ball. Whit
nev thumped out three.bagger to right field.
Johnston and Vaughn scoring. Slattery struck
out, but Quinn allowed the ball of the third
strike to pass him, and Whitney scored Slat-
terry going to first.
In the third inning Connor knocked a
grounder to Fields and the latter threw the
ball past Beckley Connor going to second.
Two sacrifice flies by O'Rourke and Johnston
scored Connor. In the sixth O'Rourke sent
the ball clean to the center fence for home
run.
In the fifth inning Kuehne lead off for the
home people with double to center, and after
Quinn had advanced him base on a long fly to
Slattery, Staley sent him home on triple to
center. Staley scored on Fields long fly to
O'Rourke. Beckley's bunt, Carroll's sacrifice,
Hanlon's single and Corcoran's sacrifice
earned the third and last run for the home
players. Score:

PICKING OUT FLAWS.
THE PROSECUTION DETAILS BIRcHALL's
ALLEGED CRIME.


Statements That seem to Conflict In the
story of the Murder-The Damaging
Evidence of PeIIey-The Prisoner Pleads
Not Guilty.
WOODSTOCK, ONT, September o.
Faultlessly dressed, Birchall, charged with
numbering F. C. Benwell in the Princeton
swamp, was brought inuo court to-day.
Counsel for the Crown lOsler (QueDec) pre-
sented the case, and the prisoner firmly
pleaded not guilty. The story of the crime.
as detailed BY the prosecution in the open
ing, was as follows:
Birchall left Buffalo with Benwell on the
morning of February II. and after an
absence of ten hours returned to Niagara
Falls alone. He was seen at Eastwood on
February Is by several persons, although
he denies being there. He told the officers
that he had received letter from Benwell
dated London, February 19, inclosing a re-
ceipt for his baggage and asking him to
take it out of bond. Benwell was murdered
on February II between the hours of 12 and
2 O'Clock, SO he could not have written such
letter, and Birchall has been unable to
produce it. He told the officers that Ben
we'll was dressed in suit of blue on
February II, but Pelley, who followed
Birchall to Niagara Falls, swore that he
wore the clothes found on the body in the
swamp. The officers found in Birchall's
trunk pair of nickel scissors with nick
in the edge, and the marks in the dead mans 9
clothing indicated that the names were cut
out with the same scissors
The keys of the murdered man were
found on Birehall, and these keys were in
Benwell's possession when he left Buffalo
on February II. He wrote letter to the
dead mans father on February 20, in
which be said he spoke TO Benwell on that
day; that the young man was we'll pleased
with the farm, and that he had decided to
enter into the scheme, at the same time ask
ing the father to cable e5O0 at once. Yet in
the face OF this Birchall told the officers
