Just cut right in two This denotes
compulsion 1t is written across the
face of every piece Of money holding
goods under our roof. While very few
lines are cut to this depth, they are cut
very far below fine competitors prices ::
or rather the bogus prices quoted from
time TO time by would be competitors /;
for IRE as Americans claim the distinc.
ton Of being the only house IN Richmond
that hands TO customers q copy Of each
treek'S advertisement so that then may
see the prices zee quote. and ask for
the goods upon lchich we quote
them. No tricks tolerated by us. OUR
ANNOUNCEMENT IS OUR WORD OF
HONOR; public expression of fact by
which we wish TO be judged. This may
seem a supelfluOus depression, since we
have good reason to know that we
have the entire confidence Of those who
know us; but it is perfectly pardonable
TO emphasize it. from time TO time, for
the benefit of those who may not
yet have had dealings with us: and who,
in following the big. promises adyer-
tised by others, may have "bled. "
When we advertise, as we do now, to
sell one-dollar ARMURES for FIFTY
CENTS, half.price they are TIL they'r
all gone. Nothing reserved nor slowed
away. ARMURES, AZ inches wide, in
the best French wearings, finest tex
lures and pure wool, every thread for
FIFTY CENTS, is the biggest thing on
earth. We haven't enough TO last the
week, so that early buyingIbecomes i'm
perative.

LINENS, IlANDKERCHIETs, AND A
STORE FULL OF
MISCELLANEOUS STUFF FEARFULLY
REDUCED.

Last week we bored the hole: this
week we drive the nail Well. talk of
trade-the like has never been seen in
this city. And DRESS GOODS. too,
mind you! Bulky goods that run into
money, any way, being snatched up like
penny toys. OF course the earliness Of
the cut causes it all. Nobody expects to
buy NEW GOODS at such prices as
we're selling them-and that's where
the surprise comes in, and that's where
the buying comes in. The same reduc-
ton in January would draw and tempt
many who had already bought 10 buy
over again. How much more now
when buying at any price is an absolute
necessity; and buying the best away
down near first cost positive luxury
We told you last week what caused Us
to cut DRESS GOODS and kindred
stuff. The same cause is responsible
for the cut in Furs. Permit us to place
before you a few samples.

IRISH DELEGATES.

Enthusiastic Reception rendered Them
at Chicago.
CHICAGO November 29th.-Ten thousand
people assembled in Battery D Armory
and . OGO more in the Second Regiment
Armory. adjoining, tonight, to ses and
hear the Irish Parliamentary delegates.
The gathering was notable one. Among
the prominent figures in the audience was
Mrs. Parnell. mother of the man still at
the helm of Irish affairs. There was a
large list of vice-presidents. The meeting
represented practically every shade of Irish
opinion in Chicago, besides many promi-
nent citizens Dot directly identified with
the Irish movement.
Dillon, O'Brien, O'Connor, Harrington,
Sullivan and Gill were escorted to the
platform amid wild cheers. AS John Dillon
advanced to the front of the stage the
cheering broke out again, and it was i'm
possible for him to begin speaking for sew
eral minutes.
Dillon dwelt at considerable length on
Ireland's struggle and the mission of the
delegates. The telling points in his speech
were received with tremendous enthusi.
asm. William O'Brien spoke next, and
was accorded an equally warm reception.
The speaking was then suspended for
half an hour, during which contributions
were received by tellers appointed to can
vass the audience. Besides the great mass
of small contributions, fifteen or twenty
prominent citizens handed in amounts
ranging from 500 to $500.
O'Connor, Harrington, Sullivan and Gill
ihen spoke, after which resolutions were
adopted, and the meeting adjourned amid
great cleer,ng.
The overflow meeting in the Second
Regiment Armory was almost an exact
duplicate of the larger affair.

How the Months Were Named.

In looking up the peculiar names given
each OF the twelve months of the year it
becomes necessary for us to go back to the.
old Romans, who have imposed upon us a
set of names equally as absurd as those
which the Norsemen, the Scandinavians,
and Saxons applied to the week. January
is named from Janus, the god of doors and
gates, because the month opens the year;
some say that he is two-faced god, and
could look back on the last year and for
ward to the coming. February is from
februo, to purify. March was originally the
first month, and was named for Mars, the
god of war April is from aperire, to
open, because the buds open in that
month. May is from Maia, goddess.
June is from Juno, the patron of mar
riage, and is, therefore, the favorite month
for weddings. July was named for
Julius Caesar. and August for Augustus
Cesar. Originally August had but thirty
days and February Twenty-Five in the
common year and thirty in leap years.
Augustus was jealous that julius month
should have more days than his own,
therefore took one from February and
added it to August. September, October,
November and December are SO called be-
cause they were originally the seventh
eighth, ninth and tenth months Of the
year. The names are inappropriate and
rank misnomens as now applied.
