Merely a low price is moi an evidence of
cheapness IN merchandise. and quotations
of clothing prices are of all things most
deceptive. We do not keep what is called
cheap" clothing. We always have some
garments for men 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
our nghtly-made garments are intended
to supplant the custom work. Therefore
you cannot judge OF the prices without
seeing the clothes.

ETIQUETTE.
How to Conduct Things According to
the Latest DEGREES of
Fashion.

The best man and the groom await the
bride in the chancel. They, as well as the
ushers, wear Prince Albert coats not dress
suits. After seating the guests-the brides
family and friends in the pews on the left
side of the middle aisle, the groom's friends
and family on the right side-the ushers
walk up the aisle in . body, preceding the
entire bridal party. The maid-of-honor
comes next. AS it is her duty to hold the
brides bouquet during the ceremony, she
nav or NAV not carry one of her own,
but her hands should be free, IN any
event, to assist the bride in taking OF her
glove for the ring.
The bride walks in Immediately after
the maid-of-honor, there being no brides
maids. If there were bridesmaids, they
come after the maid of-honor and before
the bride. The bride leans on the arm of
father, brother or mother, if the former
two relatives are not living, or she may
come mp tibet aisle entirely alone, as the
daughter of a Bishop did recently. Her
father was to perform the ceremony, and
so awaited her in the chancel with the
groom and best man. This young lady
did not carry a bouquet, but an ivory
prayer-book held in both hands. If she
wore a boquet at all, it was suspended at
her side by a ribbon or chain, which would
be a good device where the bride desired
to hold the flowers during the reception.
Dress suits are not seen at a wedding
breakfast, nor at any wedding that occurs
before six o'clock in the evening.
The best man wears evening dress; the
brother of the bride (who is not the best
man if he takes the bride into the church,
wears evening dress. There is no differ
ence at any wedding between the correct
dress of the usher and these other func-
tionaries at an evening wedding -PhilG,

HE WAS SUCH A NICE Man.
A Love Match that Threw the Herman
Household in Commotion.

An elopement in Washington, in which
q Phlladelphian figured, is attracting con-
siderable attention in that city. Several
months ago Louis j. SHERMAN appeared
in Washington with letters of introduce
ton that Sc ured his entree into the best
of Hebrew society.
Among those who took an interest in
the young man was II. Herman, the we'll
known clothing merchant. Herman
offered him a position in his store, which
SHERMAN accepted. Silberman's keen
business ability and shrewd dealings were
noted by his employer, who still further
advanced him. Herman has a pretty
daughter, Miss Clara. She is about 10
years of age, and is a recognized belle in
Hebrew society. Silberman was not
slow in winning the friendship of his en-
ployer'S pretty daughter, ard their friend
ship ripened into love.
Miss Clara would take pleasure in
spending her leisure hours at the store.
Mr.. Herman suspected that Silberman
was interested in his daughter more
than in business, and this had
the result of a spirited discussion,
ending in Mr.. Silberman leaving
the service of Mr.. Herman. The latter
drew up a check for the amount of salary
due him, and the clerk put on his hat and
wished his employer /" good evening"
He WOULD TAKE A REST.
"Will you leave the city?" asked Mr..
Herman, not having altogether lost inter
est in the young man.
"Oh, yes, sir for a few days anyway,
I will go to see my mother in Phlladel-
phia."
81 wish you success, and hope you
will soon get over your love SPELL" re-
piled MI. Herman.
Young SHERMAN had resolved upon a
course Of action by which he would be
~revenged. He sought an interview with
the daughter at her school and acquainted
her with the facts, telling her that he
would leave town. She decided that
nothing should separate them but death
and agreed to accompany him. They
met by agreement at the depot, at
o'clock on Wednesday night, and took
the train presumably for Philadelphia
but stopped at Northeast, Nd; they were
married by the rabbi at that place, after
which they proceeded to this city, bur
took the p~recaution to telegraph the news
of the marriage to the Herman household
which was thrown into a panic.

WILLING TO oBLIGE THE LADY.

Col. Thomas, one time a member of
Congress, was in the city recently, and
among tales Of the old days told the fol-
lowing about Thaddeus Stevens;
"ThadjeuS Stevens was sitting in his
Office one day with a few friends, when
in walked an old lady, wearing a poke
bonnet, blue goggles, and carrying a green
alpaca umbrella. She looked around the
room as if in search of some one, and then
said solemnly:
"Can you tell me where to find Thad-
deus Stevens, the Apostle Of Liberty?
Old Thad' bluShed.
"'Tm Thaddeus Stevens" he replied
very shortly.
care you Thad-e-us Stevens, the
Apostle of Liberty?'
&C. reckon I am, ma'am.'
"The old lady dropped her parasol,
made a rush towards Stevens to kiss him,
and when he held her off, she said:
"'I came from Bucks county to see
Thad- Gus Stevens, the Apostle of Liberty,
and to take home with me a lock of his
hair
"The Apostle of Liberty took off his
red wig, handed it to her, and said:
"'There it is, ma'am. Take as much as
you want.'"-MeW York Tribune.

by purchasing when at the greatest de-

troll It's fiscal operations. The banking
system concentrates and places this power
in the hands of those who control it.

THE AUTHOR OF "NANCY LEE

There is a man living quietly in Lon
don who is one of the most successful
writers of verse set to music that are in
England to-day, yet he is not very wide
ly known by name. It is Frederick E.
Weatherly, and he is the author of Nan
cy Lee" a song hat has been sung in
every quarter of the globe, and has
brought to the author an amount of fame
and money that makes him practically in
dependent. The song was written at Ok
ford in an hour. Weatherly had made an
appointment for a pupil whom he was
coaching for the annual commencement.
The pupil failed to keep his appointment.
and while waiting for him the piece came
suddenly to his mind, and it was written
then and there. One of the strange things
about the song was that it was in the
heyday Of its popularity about the time
of the Princess Alice disaster. 1t was
being sung on deck just before the vessel
went down. That fact was printed in all
the English newspapers, and the song suf-
fered a Temporary check in it's popularity,
but thousands of copies of it are now sold,
not only in Great Britain but through
Australia, Canada, and in fact wherever
the English language is spoken. Mr..
Weatherly is the author Of scores Of other
songs that are not so well known. He
has been writing songs ever since he WIS
an undergraduate, twenty-five years ago.

DEATH AT THE P
A Scene Which Brought Tears to the
Eyes of Many.

A frail little woman, with kar arms
about q white coffin and two children
clinging to the folds Of a much-worn
dress, was a sight which made a little
crowd of waiting passengers at one of
the depots shed tears: 1t was a pitiful
yet CHASTITY sight. Pitiful, because the
fragile mothers face was bathed in tears.
CHASTITY, because the plain box contained
the clay of what had been a few hours
before a laughing, fair-faced babe, whose
life was a part of its mothers.
The little woman was coming west to
meet a prospecting husband who had
chosen Detroit as a place to establish his
home. Loaded down with bundles and
with three little tots whose ages seemed
about one, she began the journey.
During the trip one child was taken
suddenly sick. The intense pains threw
the little one into spasms. The mother
was totally helpless. She could but sit
silent, listen to the cries of her pet, and
smother her sorrow for it's suffering. The
passengers, not realizing what a sad little
tragedy had been enacted, wondered at
the woman's tears and possibly vented a
sigh of passing sympathy.
When the train reached Toledo a cor
oner was called. He was as the typical
coroner, and had had the last drop of
sympathy distilled from his heart by con-
| tinual contact with the black side of life.
He sent for a white box, put the little
in it, still dressed in its everyday clothes,
and sent the broken hearted mother on
her way to Detroit.
She was without means, and at the
station went to the baggage-car and
claimed the box. She came with it to
the door of the depot and nonplused the
criers by asking the way to the nearest
undertaker's. The men were touched by
the pitiful scene and offered her a carriage
She was driven away, and the rough-facec
b~y-standers were serious and thoughtful

Democrats of the old school of Jack
son and Benton will delight in reading
this extract from Benton's speech in 1882
against the national banking system:
"The bank has thrown herself into the
political arena to control the presidential
ell ction. If she succeeds in that election,
she will wish to consolidate her power by
getting control of all other elections.
Governments of Sta es, judges of courts,
representatives, senators in congress, all
must belong to her. The senate especially
must belong to her, for there lies the
power to confirm appointments and try
im~peachments. To get possession of the
senate the legislatures of a majority of
the states must be secured. The whole
government will fall into the hands of
the money power, an oligarchy will be
established, but that oligarchy will ripen
in a few years into a monarchy."-Ben-
