FACTS VS.. CLAIMS {!

1t is amusing to observe the various pre-
texts put forth by the clOthiers as grounds
for seeking business. Human ingenuity is
fearfully taxed in the productions of claims
for the various claimants. One is best, an.
other the biggest, or the oldest, or the most
progressive, and SO on until all appropriate
adjectives are consumed.
The facts we claim embrace not only the
single merits claimed by others but actually
contain them all. Does another produce the
best goods, our products will equal them.
Does another claim to be progressive, we
will allow our business system to speak for
us. Does another claim LOW PRICES, our
prices are marked in plain figures, are sub
yscu Close inspection and comparison. Our
prices tell and the people tell them.
These are not claims, but solid substan-
tial facts which can be verified by visiting
our store.

An ex-President in the Ranks.
For the first time in the history of the
order an ex-presldent of the United
States marched with the posts of his
native STATE. 1t was Rutherford B. Hayes
that won this distinction. He Joined the
Cleveland post just before it reached the
reviewing stand, saluted as he passed the
commar der in-chief and marched several
blocks with the Buckeye lads before he
retraced his steps to the grand stand.
On Monday night there was an interest,
ing scene at the National department
headquarters, where ex-President Hayes,
in behalf of committee of the order, in
graceful and eulogistic speech presented
the retiring commander-in-chie with
diamond-studded Grand Army badge
upon which a round thousand dollars had
been expended Colonel Veazey made
brief reply.
The Men Who Dug Out of Libby.
And there were others to share the gener-

adventure. The Indiana contingent
marched to the music of the band of the
Soldiers and Sailors Orphans home-the
musicians being all under 16 years of age.
Reception to Gen. Neaxey.
Last lght the comrades flocked out TO
the rink to participate in a reception to
Neazey. Mayor Pingree. in a we'll
chosen ddress, welcomed the veterans to
the metropolis of the Wolverine state. and
the commander-in-chief made brief re-
Spouse. Brief addresses breathing a
spirit of goodwill to the veterans were
made by ex-President Hayes Secretary of
War Proctor, General Fairchild, Governor
Hovey, and General Butterfeld Mean
while an other great crowd had gathered
at Camp Sherman in the exposition
building and hither the same speakers
were hurried and the programme re-
peated At midnight the streets We're
just as crowded as they were at midday,
but the sleeping accommodations were
ample and nobody was compelled TO seek
lodging in the open air.

The One that Took the Cake"
But the magnificent tower and war
arch at the intersection of Woodward and.
jefferson avenues was a veritable work of
art. 1t was built upon the plan of the
famous Eiffel tower of Paris. and was a
double arch looking through from either
avenue. The first thing to strike the eve
on this arch was the fiuttering flag held
by the erect figure surrounding the tower
"a white flag with a square of red in the
center. 1t is one of the numerous designs
used by the Signal Corps attached to the
armies of the Union by which messages
were sent long distances by the code Of
signals.
