Brandenburg Cloth! Why
Brandenburg? No reason why
save that the Brandenburg
arms make a brilliant trade
mark and Brandenburg is a
great, strong name.
The cloth is cotton Such
cotton! Shades of Moses on
the Nile! did you ever see bet
ter' Egypt or South Carolina
cotton we know not which, nor
care we, SO strong, SO close
the thread. You might almost
call it linen, the yarns are so
clean and smooth. The print
ing is exquisite. Who dares
TO challenge the imagination OF
Philadelphia when such Cotton
Dress Goods printing is done
almost within sound of our
city church bells?
ust this one stuff was need
ed to make what already was
the greatest Dress Goods
Stock in all the world more
complete with an added, al
most superhuous, complete
ness.
Examine the goods. The
colors fairly sparkle, and you
think at once of France and
China, of Foulards and Shang-
hais. Comparisons are odious
or otherwise, according to the
point of view. But a COM
parison of this with any fairly
competing cloth must be
odious-for the other cloth.
The width is 80 inches full,
the price 20 cents. Compare
the count of threads, this
shows 20 per cent finer; COM
pare the strength, this gives
80 per cent more strength;
compare colors and design
there is no comparison, the
Brandenburg is beyond and
above it. Sheer as a batiste,
solid as drill, light as a
zephyr, strong almost as
leather. The Brandenburg
fills royal place in cottons
and is born to rule.

WINNIE DAVIS ENGAGED.

The Daughter of tho COnfederacy to Wso
an Abolitlonist's Grandson.
SYRACUSE, NY. April 16.-A report OF
q very interesting nature has material
lied into fact of great Significance, and
cannot fail to attract wide attention. It
Is nothing more nor less than the an
nouncement made to very intimate
friends here of the marriage of Miss
Winnie Davis, the eldest daughter of
Jefferson Davis, the late President OF
the Southern Confederacy, to Mr.. Alfred
Wilkinson of this city, the grandson of
Samuel J. May, the great abolltion1st
leader.
Dame rumor has for long time past
whispered of the possibility of such an
event coming to pass, but it was only
when Mr.. Wilkinson returned from Eu-
rope few weeks ago that the rumor
began to assume tangible shape. and 1t
was only within day or two ago that
one day Mr.. Mays bosom friends was
appraised of the engagement.
The event is of more than ordinary
significance owing to its bearing on the
birth and fall of the Rebellion. This
marriage, when accomplished, will
unite two families who have been here
tofore the most placable political foes,
| and to whose efforts the ferceness and
| fervor of the rebellion are largely due.
The life of Miss Davis is too we'll
known to be repeated here, but the story
of Mr.. Wilkinson's parentage Is COM
paratively unknown. He is a son OF
John Wilkinson, very prominent fig
ure in local history and the grandson
of Rev. Samuel J. May. The name of the
Rev. Mr. May is one of the bright gems
in the abolition sky, for he was the
pioneer, with Garrison, Emerson, Phil
lips and Longfellow, in the great work
for the abolition of slavery. Mr.. WILL

A RAGING MASS OF FIRE.
One OF the Most Promising OF the Read
ing Galleries Burning.

One OF tho Most Promising OF the Read
ing Galleries Burning.
ASHLAND, Pa, April 10.-The FIRE
which broke out in the culm bank at
the Big Mine Run colliery, may pene-
.rate the workings of the East colliery
and necessitate the flooding of the
mines and suspension of work.
The mine officials are making surveys
to ascertain if the North Ashland Creek
can be turned on the fire.
If SO, work will be commenced at
once. The bottom of the bank is a
seething mass, and it will require the
removal of many tons of culm before
the fire can be reached. If the creek can
be successfully turned on the fire there
is possibility of preventing it from
penetrating the mine.
The LOCUST Mountain Coal and Iron
Company put men to work at once to
do all that is possible in preventing the
spread of the fire. Inspector John J.
Williams and Engineer S. NJ. Riley, of
this company, have the matter in hand
and will use every means in their power
to extinguish the fire and prevent its
spread into the coal veins on their
tract.

WAsH1NToN, April 16.-Mr. Mckinley
says he hopes to report his tariff bill
to-day. The Republican members of
the Ways and Means Committee were
in session long time last night and
met again this morning.
A large delegation Of sugar men has
been here, and all sorts of rumors are
adoat as to the changes to be made in the
sugar schedule. The probabilities point
most distinctly in the direction of free
sugar, with bounty to the American
product of two cents per pound. An
other proposition is to fix the duty at
three-sighths of q cent per pound and
pay o bounty of one and a half cents.
In connection with these reports the
rumor is revived that 16 Republican
members from Louisiana, Nebraska,
Kansas, California and other sugar pro-
ducing districts have signed an agree
ment to vote against any bill which re-
duces the existing duties more than 25
per cent.
Rumors have been afloat also about
another removal of the duty on hides
and another change in the rate on car
pet woods, but the best Indications are
that neither of these changes will be
made before the bill Is reported to the

ated Labor Union and representatives
of the labor party of New Jersey caused
the arrest of Henry L. Butler, super

rest of Samuel Smith, Of the Keystone

1t is expected that similar proceed
ings will next be instituted against
principal Keeper John H. Patterson.
The charge against all these men is
violation of the existing law in this
State which regulates convict labor
The New Jersey statutes make such a
violation misdemeanor, punishable
with fine of not over $4,000 or impris-
onment for not over six months
The warrants were sworn out by w.

THE STATE OF FRANKLIN.
An Interesting and Instructive Bit OF
Early American History.

An Interesting and Instructive Bit Oh
Early American History.
The story of the State of Franklin
goes back to a full century ago. In the
Colonial A ssembly of North Carolina in
1776, the territory now embraced in the
State of Tennessee, was represented by
deputies as the District of Washington,
and in the struggle for independence
the settlers there promptly cspoused the
cause of the colonists as against En-
gland. From TIT to 1854 the territory
constituted portion of North Carolina,
In 1884 the settlers became very much
dissatisfied with what they believed to
be the unjust and ungenerous treatment
they had received from the government
of North Carolina. Conventions were
held and State government was organ
lied, which is called variously Frank.
land and Franklin in the documents
that have come down to us. The Con-
stitution was ratified by popular vote, a
Legislature and Governor were chosen,
and it looked for time as though there
would be bloodshed between the new
State and that of North Carolina. John
Sewer was the first Governor elected.
The State of Franklin was maintained
for several years, or until what was
known as the North Carolina party pre-
vailed, which overthrow in 1888 the
Franklin administration. Then there
were certain acts of pacitication passed
by North Carolina, which in 1870 coded
Tennessee to the United States, provid
ing that the inhabitants were to have all
the benefits of the Ordinance of 1857
except that slavery was never to DC
abolished. After that event the growth
of Tennessee was assured.-Chicago In
