Merely a low price is not 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
u rightly-made garments are intended
to supplant the custom work. Therefore
you cannot Judge OF the prices without
seeing the, clothes.

YES SIR, OUR CLOCK IS RIGHT
OATS DID 1T.

OATS DID 1T.
Gen. Grout, who recently returned
to Washington is reported as giving
the following explanation of the way
things went in the Vermont election ::
"No, the result of the election in Yer
mont has not worried me in the
slightest. 1t may sound rather funny,
but the real trouble in Vermont was
that the farmers were getting in their
oats on election day. There were
some other little troubles which
caused a falling off in the republican
vote, such as the question of high
license, which was raised, and the
sharp personal canvass between the
two candidates for governor; but the
chief and main trouble was the oats.
The weather had been miserable up
to election day, and the otherwise
sacred day was the first opportunity
which the farmers had had to get in
their crops, and they naturally took
advantage of the chance. Vermont,
however, is all right"

TUESDAYS CONCERT.

Theeoncert Tuesda light at Music
hall by the Mende : Quintette
club was an excellent fS4e, in spite of
the small attendance The club, so
well known in New England by many
seasons of good instrumental work,
deserved full house, and the efforts
of Messrs. Humphrey and Noyes to
bring them here should have had
more appreciative return. The
program was a choice one and in
cluded two selections by Miss Marie
Barnard whose full, rich contraltO
voice was warmly appreciated. In
deed, although the audience was so
small, it was enthusiastic and every
number was received with as hearty
evidence of approval as though five
sixths of the chairs were not empty.
The quintette club as at present or
gan1Zed includes the following men,
bers; Isidor Schnitzler, violin virtu-
oso aud concert master; Samuel w.
Jennison, violin; Thomas Ryan, solo
clarinette and viola; Paul Henne-
berg, solo flute and viola; and Paul
Jennison, solo violoncello. Probably
attended if everyone had not been
saving his shekels in anticipation of
the attractions of the Y. M. c.
A. lecture course.
AMERICAN STUDENTS IN BERLIN.
O. H. Gates, Ph. D., son of Rev M .
A. Gates OF this place, has in the last
issue of the Independent an interest
ing article on "American Students in
tics secured by the Young Mems
League of the American church in
Berlin 1t seems that of the 5731
students in the university 1856 are
Americans, divided as follows
Theological faculty, 20; medical, SO ;
law, 4; philosophical, 1O2. OF the
whole number OF students 5000 are
Germans and the Americans are the
most numerous of all other nation
alities There are 121 Russians, %
from Austro-Hungary, 76 Swiss, 25
from Great Britain, % Asiatics, and
100 from all other lands. In the
American delegation are two from
Vermont. DR.. Gates draws from
these figures the conclusion that
through these students German
thought and scholarship are gaining
Il strong hold in the United States,
and that American interests in Berlin
are large and of the most important
character, because young, strong
active workers from here are found
there each year.

STATE FAIR NOTES.

The rain which lasted here from
Tuesday to Sunday was also almost
continuous at the state fair at White
River Junction causing a great de-
crease in attendance. Only rs tickets
were sold from here by Ticket Agent
Henderson. OF course the track was
in poor condition but there was a
large exhibit of live stock, vegetables
and mechanical wares while there
was large exhibit in Floral hall.
The only herd of Jerseys shown
was that of Hon. Frederick Billings
of Woodstock, which was not enter
ed for premiums. The first prize on
Holsteins was given to H. w. Keyes
of Newbury, and l.. B. Harris of
Lyndon Centre took all the prerni-
ums on Herefords. l.. d. Hazen's
&c pairs of oxen, weighing over 49,
900 pounds, took the second pre-
miumA
L. B. Harris also took two second
premiums on Shropshire sheep and
second premium on fat COWS.
What was probably the closest
race ever trotted in Vermont began
on Wednesday and lasted until
Thursday and was finally won by
Hyde Park Lambert owned by ]. c.
Gray of this place. 1t took seven
heats to decide the contest. Lam
bert was second the first three heats,
third in the fourth and won the last
three The other two horses each
took two heats so it can easily be
seen what a close race it was. In
several heats the leading horses
crossed the wire almost neck and
neck. Time 2. 80, 2351a, 2.39h 239,
1882, 1924, 2.35.
Every race the last day was won
by horses entered by c. E. Kirk and
Homer Brewster Nathan M, enter
ed by Homer Brewster, won in the
3-minute class, being tied with Ino
in the first heat and first in the rest.
The time was 2.47H, 2.4SH, 2.47,
247.
In the 229 class Little Harry, en-
tered by c. E. Kirk, won in three
straight heats, the time being 3334,
2.35, 234.
In the 224 class, Grand Isle, en-
tered by c. E. Kirk, won first money,
being first in the first heat, fourth in
the second and first in the third and
fourth
For the second best print butter S.
]. Hastings ofPassumpsic received So.
John Couchcr of Lyndonville re-
ceived first prize on a two-year-old
bull, first on bull calf and first on a
heifer calf
All who have seen the track say it
is the best in the United States. Mr..
Brewster said it was worth $4,000
to the state, for it will bring horse
men from everywhere to see Vermont
horses trot in their own ''dooryard."
One noticeable feature of the track is
the ease in scoring.

grown in numbers. They have two
synagogs, and strictly observe Sat
urday as their day of rest" and all
the other festival and religious dates.

the expulsion of the race from Russia
and the subscription for their assist
ance made by the Jewish noble
men. They enter the state by the
way of Montreal and quarter them
selves in one section of the city.

A RARE OLD REGIMENT

J. Stanley Meigs of this place has
just come into possession of the GER
tifcate of membership in the Society
of the Cincinnati of his great-great-
grandfather, John Meigs. This
ancient parchment is of rare interest
and value. 1t is dated July 4, 1886,
in the eleventh year of independence,
and bears the signatures of George
Washington, as president of the soci-
ETY., John Knox as secretary, and
upon the back the endorsement OF
Thomas Jefferson. The Society OF
the Cincinnati was patriotic organ
ization formed at the close OF the
Revolution by commissioned officers
of the patriot army, to keep alive
the fires of the patriotism that won
independence. Membership in it de-
scends in the direct line, so that Mr.
J. S. Meigs becomes a member of the
society by right of descent The soci
| ETY. bears the same relation to the
Revolution that the Military Order
of the Loyal Legion does to the civil
| war
