speech was forcible and eloquent, and

A NEW CLOTHING HOUSE.
The Chicago Clothing Company on
Spring and Franklin Streets.

On Saturday morning the opening will
take place OF the Chicago Clothing
Company's establishment in the Phil
lips block, on the corner of Franklin
and Spring streets. For some time past
decorators have been at work in the
store covering the walls and ceilings
with handsome paper. 1t is now as
elegantly fitted up as any store in the
city. Neither taste nor skill has
been spared in getting the room ready
for the occupation of the Chicago Clio
thing Company.
The manager of the company is Ben
l.. Morris. He has been in the clothing
business for number of years and ufl-
derstands it thoroughly in every branch.
He has been a resident of the Coast for
twenty-five years and has lived in Los
Angeles about five years. While he was
connected with the London Clothing
Company he established a reputation as a
successful buyer and fair dealer. His
presence in this company as it's manager
lnsures for it high rank as a successful
and honorable concern.
The business of the Chicago Clothing
Company will be conducted strictly on
the one-price principle. Every article
in the store will bear the price plainly
marked upon it. From this price there
will be no deviation.
1t is said that there are tricks in all
trades, and the clothing business is GER
tainly not without its share 1t not in
frequently happens that an unprincipled
dealer who discovers that his customer
has taken special fancy to any particu-
lar article, will stiffen up the price a
little. This, of course, is quite impos-
sible when every article is plainly
marked with the price. The stock is
bought originally for cash, at advan-
tageous figures. This enables the COM
pany to offer them to the public at an
exceptionally reasonable price. With
this price always plainly marked the
customer can know that he is receiving
fair deal.
The stock will include all styles of
mems and boys clothing, hats, furnish
ing goods, etc. Everything is of excel
lent quality and direct from the manu-
factory. There are no shoddy materials
to be found in the stock. A perfect fit
IS guaranteed, and any changes that are
found necessary IN garment will be
made.
HuluDeI VI eIlClenC clerks are IN
attendance to serve customers and assist
them in making choice of goods. The
store will be open evenings and is hand
somely lighted with electric burners.
The opening will take place Saturday
morning. The favorable location of the
Chicago Clothing Company's store, on
Spring street, at the corner of Franklin,
the well known reputation of it's mana
ger, Mr.. Morris, its large and excellent
stock, and above all, its wise feature of
one price only, plainly marked on the
goods, all tend to insure the new enter
prise large amount of the best class of
custom

EIGHT HOURS.
A Large Meeting of the Workingmen
Last Night.


AT eight O'Clock last night meeting
of workingmen was held at the Opera
House hail. the interior of which was
packed, even standing room being at a
premium after those who had paraded
the streets beforehand had entered. The
signs which had been carried round in
the procession were placed in the rear of
the platform, SO that they might be
seen by all present. A large banner on
twopoles bearing the inscription, "Labor-
ers' Cooperative Construction Company.
we are here to stay" was Aanked on
either side by small boards, bearing the
notices, Labor, not money, is capital";
ITO the creators of wealth belongs the
wealth they create; "We are the
people,; "We abolish the middleman
for the benefit of the taxpayers"
and Taxes reduced, labor produced by
cooperation"
The proceedings commenced with the
election OF a chairman, and Capt. Mackay
was unanimously appointed to the
chair, while Mr.. Whitford was called
upon to ofticiate as secretary. The
chairman briefly announced the object
OF the meeting to be the consideration
of the eight-hour question, and called
upon those who wished to address the
meeting to come up to the platform.
The speakers, who for the most part
were Nationalists, were Messrs Cross,
w. G. Owen, G. H. C6nnor J Vignette,
