The Rare Bric-a-Brac to Be Found at
Mark Ten Suie's.

The Rare Bric-a- Brac to Be Found at
Mark Ten Suie's
As importers and dealers in curios from japan
no house of the Pacific Northwest is so enterpris-
ing as that OF Mark Ten SUE, who recently
moved into the store at 82l Second street, corner
of Marion. The premises are very extensive,
and sp.endidly arranged for business. They are
stocked with q most complete assortment of
curios of every description. including silk
handkerchIeis, dressing gowns smoking jack
cts. screens, fans, vases, bronzes, ornaments of
Gil kinds, and a Thousand and Que other articles
too numerous to mention. There is also fine
line of ladies' underwear. Owing to Mark Ten
Suies connections in Japan he is enabled 10 i'm
port his goods cheaper than any of his rivals,
s1d therefore offer them at better advantage to
purchasers. Now that the Christmas holidays
are at hand, it will not be out of place to remind
the public that they could not find better
place N the city TO obtsin appropriate gifts for
Christmas and New Year than Mark Ten suie's
EN- porium of japanese goods. The facilities of
the house are of very complete character as re-
CARDS this class of goods. The proprietor, Mark
Ten SUE, is a courteous gentleman. fair in all
transactions, and well-deservihg of the success
he is achieving. To be convinced OF the cheap
ness apd variety of the goods it is only necessary
to make call at the store OF Marx Ten Sue, at
81 second street. cerner of Marion.

THEY ARE BAD ONES.
Five Toughs Upon Whom Gospel Truths
Had No Effect.

Religious services were conducted at the city
jail yesterday afternoon by ladies and gentle
men sol!citous OF the spiritual welfare of the
hobos and hard characters confined there for
various breaches of the law. As q rule the
tough element were courteous and attentive
while the services lasted, but the truths OF the
Gospel as expounded seemingly had but little
effect upon the hardened creatures. The FIVE
lads. ranging in years from Is to Is, whom the
police have again behind the bars on suspicion
of housekeeping, made themselves particu-
larly obnoxious TO the good ladies and gentle
men, and gave free show of their ineorrigible
natures They are hard loi, and Chief Monroe
is at a loss what 10 do with the young scoun-
drels. In Jail they are noisy and insolent, and
at night take great pleasure in raising q Racket
and keeping the other prisoners from sleeping
The police are discouraged over the failure of
the courts and jury some time ago to convict
the quintette, claiming that the evidence
against them was OF tue most direct and positive
kind.

PARNELL's ALLEGED LIAISoN.

Some Charges and Denials, But No De-
NAL of the Principal Charge.
LONDON, Dec S1.--Apropos of the allega-
ton of Parnell and his friends that the action
brought against the Home-Rule leader by
Capt. Shea was instigated by Houston in the
interest of The Times, in the expectation that
it would have the effect to weaken Parnelrs
suit for libel against The Times and draw
public attention away from the commits
sion's report on the forged letters, it is note
worthy that the hearing Of OShsa's case is
fixed for q time concurrent with the exami-
nation of Parnell's suit against The Times.
Parnell's Statement Denied.
Apropos also of the same allegation of
Parnell is the fact that Houston, as soon as
he saw the allegation, wrote letter declar-
ing it false and saying that he had no knowl-
edge of the action taken by Capt. OShea
until he saw the announcement of the di-
vorce case published in the papers on Satur-
day.
Capt. O'Shea, in denying the same allega-
ton, produces letter written by the editor
Of The Times bearing the date of Dec. 20,
asking him to confirm or correct any mis-
statements in the report that he had brought
action against his wife for divorce, impli'
eating the Irish leader.
In the letter to The Freeman's Journal in
which the charge is made that OShea's suit
was instigated by Houston, the Irish leader
does not deny OShea's charge, but says that
since 1880 he has resided at Capt. O'Shea's
house at Ethan. He was frequently there
when Capt. O'Shea was absent but the lat
ter was cognizant of his being there.
