In a recent lecture on decoration Mr..
George Aitchison, a. r. A, stated that
certain colors and tones are prejudicial
to health. Very dark rooms are so. and
red and yellow are also prejudicial in
the same way, if we have to remain in
rooms so colored all aud every day. The
lecturer said that a manufacturer had a
woman's workshop painted yellow, and
found sickness increase in his hands.
His doctor recommended whitewash,
and normal health was restored

ALBANY, Sept. S.-The mystery at
tending the apprehension of John Reed.
who was detained all day yesterday on
suspicion of being one OF the Central
train w~reckers, was partially explained
this morning By the arrest of John Kier-
nan, a West Albany freight brakeman,
and John Cordial, a freight conductor.
Both are striking knights. From words
overheard by a reporter during Reeds
cross-examination by the PinkeItons it is
evident that the arrests were made on in
formation furnished by Reed. The latter
has been very prominent in his hostility
to the PInkertons and made threats
against the road, so he was spotted"

Merely a low price is not an evidence Of
c~heapness 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 thsu
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
seeingthe clothes.
