peculiar sign and needs private arrangements for doing BUSH
ness IN secret, my business is conducted openly and above board
and needs no side doors.
The gentleman Of money and estate seldom paws spot cash for
his clothing. He pays his bills at his own convenience, and not at
the convenience of the merchant who supplies him. He makes no
secret OF such debts no more than he makes secrets Of his horses or
his dogs. his dignity Is In nowIse impaired by such transactions
On the other hand, many persons OF limited means will not even
ask for credit They imagine they are compromising their dignity,
or that they are asking an unusual favor. But with me it Is a mat
ter of business, pure and simple. The working man gives, and is
proud to give, a good days work for a fair wage. He is accustomed
to giving value for all he becomes possessed Of Therefore, the
honest working man is trustworthy and good in credit for all his
needs, including the needs of his family. My business, part cash,
and the remainder In easy payments, is a convenience to him. When
he gives his word and receives good value upon that word he feels
his responsibility and his dignity as an accepted applicant for credit
IN the worlds markets.
My business is managed upon the idea that such are to be trusted,
and the results are satisfactory to me. In contrast to some other
houses doing what may be called business on the instalment plan, l
take no advantage of the necessities of the people and sell them at
spot cash prices, which are plainly marked on each article.
My goods are guaranteed in every respect, and satisfaction to
every customer is a fundamental part Of my business, and all gar

to be found in credit establishments. Call and examine my goods,

more than pleased You will find no iron-clad rules in my terms.
Some of my customers are paid weekly, others b~imonthly, others
monthly. 1 study the convenience OF nv customers in each case.
All goods delivered on day of purchase, not, as some may sup

A TANGLED WEB.
BANKER KEAN'S AFFAIRS BEING
UNRAVELED.
The Pious Mans Business Methods Net
Exactly Upright-preaehers Given a
Tip to Withdraw Their Deposits.

CHICAGO, Dec. 24.-According to the
testimony of Keap, OF the suspended
banking firm OF Kean & Co., the assets
are lowered $4,000 more. In his testi-
mony today Kean acknowledged that no
allowance had been made for $4,000 paid
D. H. Tolman on the day of the failure,
or for $2200 declared forfeited by the
authorities at West Superior. Wisconsin,
upon his failure to purchase certain
bonds of that town, which he had en-
deavored to do.
Miss Higgins, Kean's private secre-
tary, testified that she had seen partner
ship papers drawn up between Kean and
Wilson Waddingham, and that they
were signed by Waddingham This is
considered an important development
for the depositors, as Waddingham is a
wealthy man.
She said she had searched for the
Waddingham agreement, but was unable
to find it. The attorney asked her if
she had ever placed her name on a note
for kean. She replied that she had
once. Kean asked her to do so, explain
ing that there was some law providing
that bank could not loan more than so
much on one name, and that her name
was acceptable.
"were you good for the note?" asked
the attorney.
Il don't think l was very rich at that
time" she said.
During the session Attorney Mayer
asked Kean if ne was aware of the fact
that Rev. John O. Foster and Rev.
Lewis Curtis were given ''tip" as to the
condition of the bank, with the result
that they drew out their deposits.
Kean answered that he did not know
such to be the case. Mayer, however
secured and served subppnas on the
reverend gentlemen to appear in court
and testify.

VICTORIA, B. c., Dec. 24.-The coast
ing steamer Katie returned from the
west coast today, bringing Captain
Mosher and eleven men of the wrecked
bark Atlanta, which went down during
the recent terrific gales. Captain Mosher
gives the following account of the
wreck: The Atlanta, owned by Pope
& Talbot, OF San Francisco, left Port
Gamble, Washington, December 8th,
last, with a cargo of lumber. When off
Cape Flattery, a succession of heavy
gales was encountered, which car
ried away all the sails. On the
18th the vessel commenced leaking.
Next day the main topmast went
by the board, and the ship began to
settle. On the 18th the ship broke in
two, leaving the crew floating on the
cabin. They drifted all night, and next
day reached Claquoquot, where they re-
ceived every attention at the hands of
the men employed at the trading sta
tion there. While at Claquoquot, Cap
tain Mosher learned that another vessel
must have been lost, as part of ship
with the letters l. S. w. |. on it, came
ashore. United States Consul Movers
has taken charge OF the shipwrecked
crew, and will send them to Port Town
send tomorrow.

An ImDortaut Franchise.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 24.-The board
OF supervisors passed last night over the
mayors veto an ordinance granting the
right to j. w. Hartzell, Behrend Joost
W. f. Thomas and their successors OF
assignees, to construct and maintain 10,
fifty years double track street railroad
in this city and county. AS the San
Mateo county board has already granted
franchise to the same parties, which
order permits the employment OF any
motive power on the proposed road, it
is surmised in some quarters that the
building OF the road VIII be compatible
with the entrance of another overland
railroad into San Francisco.

UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Pennsylvania Cannot Prohibit the Sale
of OIeOmargarine.

IeHnsylVanld cannot frOnlD1C the sale
of OleOmargarine.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 24.-Judge Reed
today rendered decision, holding the
state law forbidding the sale of oleomar-
garine in packages as originally import
ed from another state unconstitutional.
The decision, which is lengthy one,
finds that the right of a state to enact
police laws, when such laws prohibit the
sale Of articles which, without prohibi-
ton. would be legitimate subjects OF
commercial interchange, is sub
ordinate to the power of the
United States to regulate interstate
commence. The right to sell in an
original package, ii the goods are mer-
'chantable and legitimate subjects of trade
and commerce, is guaranteed by the
United States, and though it can be
regulated, it cannot be prohibited by
any state. The United States has a
paramount right to declare what goods
are merchantable and what regulations
of their sale are reasonable; and by an
act OF congress the United States has
declared oleomargarine to be mer-
chantable article and has regulated its
sale. AS Pennsylvania, the state in
volved, does not regulate but prohibits
the sale of oleomargarine, it cannot ap-
ply to the goods described in the special
verdict.

ATTEND, ALL NATIONS!
The President Issues the Worlds Fair
Proclamation.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-The following
proclamation was issued today by the
president:
Whereas, satisfactory proof has been
presented to me that provision has been
made for adequate grounds and buildings
for the uses of the Worlds Columbian
exposition, and that the sum of not less
than $40 900, 900, to be used and expended
for the purposes of said eXposit ton, has
been provided in accordance with the
conditions and requirements OF section
ten of an act entitled, An act to pro-
vide for celebrating the four hundredth
anniversary of the discovery of America
by Christopher Columbus, by holding an
international exposition OF arts, indus
tries, manufactures and the products of
the soil, mines and sea, in the city OF
Chicago, state of Illinois, approved April
25, 1890.
"Now, ,therefore,I, Benjamin Harrison,
president of the United States, by yir-
ture of the authority vested in me by
said act, do hereby declare and proclaim
that such international exhibition will
be opened on the first day of May in the
year 1893, in the city of Chicago, in the
state OF Illinois, and will not be closed
before the last Thursday in October,
the same year; and in the name of the
government and of the people of the
United States, do hereby invite all the
nations of the earth to take part in the
commemoration of an event that is pre-
eminent in human history, and of last
ing interest to mankind, by appointing
representatives thereto and sending
such exhibits to the worlds Columbian
exposition as will most fitly and fully
illustrate their resources, their indus
ries and their progress in civilization"
The parchment, in the usual diplo-
matte form, was carried to the president
shortly after midday by S. A. Brown,
chief clerk of the state department, who
is the functionary through whom these
little formalities are carried on. The
president was in his Office, talking with
Secretary Proctor upon the Indian stua-
ton. The secretary OF war, Private
secretary Halford and Brown formed
little group around the president, as he
looked the paper over; then taking up
pen from his desk he affixed his sigma
ture, just as the clock indicated 80.
The president, after making his sigma
ture, handed it to Halford with the sug-
gestion that perhaps Fred w. Peck, of
Chicago, might desire it as memento,
and directed that it be mailed to Mr..
Peck

CHICAGO'S CHRISTMAS GIFT.
The Worlds Fair Proclamation Gives
the Fair City Great JOY.

The Worlds Fair Proclamation Gives
the Fair City Great JOY.
CHICAGO, Dec. 24.-President Harri-
sons proclamation today was every
where in the city regarded as most
enjoyable Christmas gift. The status
of the exposition is now settled. Chicago
is to have worlds fair; the world will
know it, and is invited to attend. The
proclamation marks an epoch in the
exposition. No digging or building
could be attempted until it was known
beyond doubt that Chicago was to
hold the worlds fair. The question
could not be settled until the president
issued his proclamation. Now the United
States government has declared that the
Worlds Columbian exposition will be
held in Chicago in 1893; it announces
to the nations that Chicago has made
adequate provision for grounds and
buildings, and has raised $10,000,000 for
the uses OF the fair. With this sort of
guarantee from the president, the ex-
position is given standing with every
government, and the invitation to each
nation goes well accredited. One of the
