Merely a low price is not an evidence Of

of clothing prices are of all things most
deceptive. We do not keep what is called
cheap clothing. We always have some
garments tormen and boys at low prices;
but we get them by marking down the
broken lots and slow.selling lots of good
quality. These bargain garments adver
tise themselves. If you want a serviceable
Overcoat, Suit or odd Coat, Vest or pair
Of Trousers for very little money, we can
usually supply much better value than
the price asked would buy in the regular
way. Most people, however, want the
best clothes they can afford to wear, and
u rightly-made garments are intended
to supplant the custom work. Therefore
you cannot Judge OF the prices without
seeing the clothes.

THE AMERICAN BOY.
No One is His Equal in Contrivins Mischief
From the New York Star. I

Can more mischievous creature
be imagined than the American small
boy? The wonderful fertility of ideas of
this boy was demonstrated to me yester-
day in Brooklyn by two street Incl
dents. A large business house is in
course Of erection at the corner of Full
ton and Franklin avenues. happen
ed to be at that corner just as the work
men quit work. Two of them in charge,
of a stationary engine carefully banked
its fires and left. They were hardly out
of sight when halfa dozen boyssneaked
up to the engine, and one lifted a
second on his shoulders, while the sup
ported urchin turned on the valve that
supplied steam to the whistle. AS soon
as it began screeking the youngsters
ran away at full speed. I stayed ten
minutes to see if any one would come
to turn off this steam, but as left the
whistle was still blowing. Two blocks,
lower down saw two prettily dressed
girls come out of a drug store, each car
rying syphon of mineral water. AS
they walked toward the City Hall a
boy stole up behind each of the girls,
pressed the faucet of each syphon and
the water poured down on the neat
dresses Of the misses. The boys made
good their escape, although an indig-
nant citizen tried to capture them.

JAY COOKIES ESTATE WOUND UP.
The Last Dividend Paid, Making Total of
1912 Per Cent. on S6,451 900

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 10.-The trus-
tee Of the estate of Jay Cooke & Co.,
announces the payment of the final
dividend upon claims presented before
Monday next. The final dividend will
be II per cent. in cash on S6,451 900,
and 81 shares of Northern Pacific pre-
ferred stock, 81 shares Oregon Steam
ship and Navigation Company stock
and three-fourths of share preferred
stock of the St. Paul and Duluth Rail
road to each 81 900 of claim to creditors
holding that amount and upward.
With the payment of the final divi-
dend the affairs Of the estate of Jay
Cooked Co., will be wound up, and the
total amount of cash paid on it will
have been 155 per cent, on S6,45l, 900.
The liabilities when the firm crashed
in the memorable year 1874 were near
ly S11 100000. This amount has been
reduced by compromises, litigation
and various forms of redemption
to the figure above named, something
less than so per cent. There were 5000
creditors when the firm failed, the
largest of whom were the banks and
the Government.
There has been no divinend paid
since 1881, when the fourth one was
distributed in cash to the amount of
II per cent. cash. The fifth and final
dividend brings the last chapter of this
historic and honorable failure to a
close.
During the process of winding up the
intricate affairs of the estate, the Jay
Cooke interest has acquired about one
half the outstanding claims through
redemption and purchase. In the dis
tributions of stocks and bonds to the
creditors, the amount, in the aggre-
gate realized, has more than exceeded
the extent Of the claims.

Not Capt. Ben Tilllman, But His Nephew
Who was Declined Admission to the
South Carolina Club.
lSpecial to Charleston World.

COLUMBIA, Nov. 13.-A sensation
was created this evening by the publ
cation in the Record of an article stat
ing that Governor-elect Tillman had
made application to the South Carolina
49, -,'c---.nb nbership and at the meet
cluo lor met-t4--lIG4, io nrballed.
ing last night he was 6Iacr.,-, --,or,d
President Aston called at the Wor11
Budget bureau and asked publication
Of the statement that the article is an
egregious blunder, as Capt. Tlllman did
not make application, nor was his
name mentioned during the meeting.
The Records reporter also stated that
he was mistaken, having confounded
Capt. Tillman's name with that of Jas.
H. Tillman. son of the congressman
and nephew of Capt. Tillman his in.
formant simply using the name "Till-
man."
There is still sensation in the mat
ter, however, and here is the truth oi
it:
Jas. H. Tillman came to the fair, in
tending to go the state ball, and ac-
cordingly made application, under the
rule, for membership in the South
Carolina club. His application was
endorsed by Ex-Governor Sheppard
and Adjutant General Bonham. Be
fore the meeting Mr.. Tillman was
informed that be was going to be
blackballed. After consultation with
friends be withdrew his application.
1t it needless to say his friends are
very indignant, and to-day the matter
is very generally discussed by them.
They say he is the victim of prejudice,
and declare that such a thrust at his
social standing will'be met half way.

PROF. koCH's CONSUMPTION CURE
The Discovery Pronounced Complete
Success, and the German Government
Will Adopt the Remedy.

BERLIN, November 9.-Prof. Berg
mann inoculated fifteen corsumptive
patients on Thursday by Prof. Koch's
process, and on the following day ex-
hibited one of the patients before a
number of physicians, in order to show
the change that had resulted within
twenty-four hours.
The Borsen Courier says it has au-
thority for the statement that Prof.
Koch's remedy has proved to be sue
cess. A famous German surgeon, it
says, cured within five days a case of
lupus, or necrotic tubercular destruc-
ton Of tissues of the face.
The National Zeitung lsays Prof.
Koch, although he has performed a
number Of cures, does not yet consider
the time come for the publication of
his researches. Although the remedy
has been applied to patients in tie
Charity Hospital and in some private
cases, its composition remains a pro-
found secret.
It has been ascertained that toxalbu-
mine is the most important ingredi-
ent in the lymph. Prof. Koch himself
makes this fluid, which is injected
like morphine to the lung consump-
tives iu the back, and the other con-
sumptives in the nearest spot to the
affected part-thus, in consumption of
the larynx, for instance, it would be at
some point in the throat.
In most cases the patients suffer from
a high fever for two days after inocu la
ton, but this is not dangerous, as has
been proved by the fact that all the
cases on which the treatment has been
tried have stood it we'll and have re.
suited most favorably.
A case of lupus vulgaris has been
cured within few days, and the pa.
TENTS face was not at all deformed.
The speech from the throne at the
opening of the Prussian Diet, Cd Wed
nesday next, will contain a demand
for 100000 marks for starting Kock
lymph depots all over Prussia.

a TERRIBLE SCENE.
A Mother Carries Her infant to the Fair
and 1t is Crushed to Death.
Record, 14th.1

Only one thing has occurred to mar
the pleasure of the State Fair. A white
woman went to the Fair yesterday,
carrying her babe in her arms. She
wandered around seeing the sights and
in the building the crowd was so dense
that it pressed against her often. She
was delighted with what she saw, and
holding the baby close to her breast she
walked on out. She finally thought OF
the babe, and on looking was Mortified
to find that instead of her babe she car
ried a corpse in her arms. But few
witnessed the terrible sight and the
woman left before any one could dis
cover her name or where she came
from.

The Growth of Incomes.

Mr.. Russell Sage has been interview
ed by the Wall-street Daily News
about Jay Gould and his fortune. Iie
said: "There is not man in America
or in the world at large who absolutely
owns and controls, and has registered
in his own name, as many stocks as
Mr.. Jay Gould. 1t is no exaggeration
to say that he draws more revenue
from his invested capital than does any
other living soul.
"In order that some idea may be
had of his wealth, it is simply neces-
sary to take three Of his stocks: Man
haitian, Of which be owns and has reg
istered Sl0,000,00O, Missouri Pacific,
$12, 1000, and Western Union $25,-
100000. Of these three, independent
of his vast number Of bonds and other
dividend-paying securities, he draws
for dividends over $2,O0O,OOO a year.
His income from other sources, of
course, amounts to four or five times
us much.
"Peoplc do not appreciate what the
amount Of an income of 4 man like Mr..
Gould means. 1t will be readily seen
that he cannot commence to use for
his own personal uses even a small!part
Of the interest which the dividend mo-
ney alone would yield. He must rein
vest it, and he does reinvest it. When
you consider that there are scores, and
l might say hundreds, of people whose
yearly rentals, dividends, interest on
bonds, ETC., amount to, well, from a
half million to two million dollars a
year, it will be readily seen that they
have considerable surplus to put into
new investments. The creation Of secu-
rites which continually goes on indi-
Gates that there are plenty of people
who are willing to put their money
into them."

ONE OF REEDS MOTIVES.
An Argument fer the Force Bili Imputed
to the Speaker.

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 9-Thomas P
Grasty of the Baltimore Manufacturers
Record was in Richmond to-day, and
while here gave some interesting facts
about the force bill. He said:
"About two months ago Mr. W. =.
Rice, the leader in Southern invest
ments at Boston had occasion to visit
Washington. At his request | went with
HIM. Having formerly been noted
New England Republican, he was
warmly received by Speaker Reed in
his private room. Reed bad lost sight
of the fact that Rice had placed several
million Of dollars in Southern proper
ties, and so he took him into his conf
dence. Said Reed: See here, Rice,
something has got to be done to stop
this exodus of capital from New-En-
gland. The South threatens to para
lyze our industrial prosperity. This
election bill will call halt on South
ern investments, and that's why | am
urging it so strenuously."
"Mr. Rice 'contidentially reported
this conversation to my friend Harry
st. George Tucker of the Staunton
(Va.) district, and not only to him.
but to number Of Northern, and
Eastern Representatives and Senators.
At that moment it happened that The
very men on whom Reed most relied
in the Senate to strangle the South
were so heavily interested in Southern
properties that, to man, they repudi-
ated allegiance to party and bethought
them of the losses that would have to
be pocketed in case the odious force
bill should be passed"
