Millinery Less than Cost.

We have decided, owing to our
limited space, to close out our
entire millinery department by
January I, and as we are too busy
to remark each and every article
we have decided to save time by
sacrificing all; hence we will sell
everything in the department at
just one-half the present actual
price. This is no advertising
scheme, but the straight truth,
which will readily be seen by
pricing our goods. Remember,
everything at just half of former
pices.

He will therefore secure q place on

OF the house. where his ability and ex-
perience will enable him to do telling
work. With the delegation Of his own
state too, all members Of which are new,
he will be 3 great help, and his acquain-

legislation will GIVE him an opportunity
to get through matters for the state
which even 9 man in the majority can
not always accomplish.

are too far away, We must raise
our own chicory. = ssss
So they got chicory seeds from Ger
many and put IN asmall crop in Michi-
last spring. The farmers made more
money than they made out Of whsat.
i set them crazy. Everyone wanted
to raise more OF it. Well, this fall the
Detroit factory is doubling its capacity
and Ill the farmers are getting seed
through the factory and Jerry Rnsk
and preparing to plant chicory next
year.
What is the resultp Why after paying
out to France and Germany over $40
600, 600 for chleory we are finally going
to mako it here, at home, and save our
money -skeep it in this country.
The history Of this industry and how
we got it is like that Of a dozen other
industries which have come through
this wise Tariff measure.
Last spring / visited Baron Babant's
4UUO-acre chlcory farm IN Whitewood,
Manitoba, on the Canadian Pacific. He
proposes to supply all Canada with
chicory and send his surplus raw chico
~ over to be manufactured in the United
States without paying any duty, His
fall crop is now coming to be manufac-
tured.
It is funny about the price Of chicory
too. II used to sell for 10 cents per
pound VIII olesale. Competition brought
it down to 10 cents, then to s cents, then
to 4 cents, and now it is offered Who'll
sale at 81 cents. Ourretail grocers are
keeping the news from the people and
still selling chicory at - cts. per pound,
when they conld sell it At s cents
By'and BY, if We get a Tariff on raw
chicory. every farmer can raise sub
stitute which will improve his coffee.
One-ha chicory gives delightful flavor
to coffee. Good coffee costs 90 cents
pound. Il 10 one Of the burdens Of our
farmers and mechanics to buy it, for We
Ill drink coffee. But soon ehioory will
3be one Of our crops and %, 600, 600 will
b saved 70 orr country every yssr.

From the Grave to the Altar.

On Sunday Miss Rillie Lee, daughter of
wealthy parents, who live on first street, Boyle
Heights, Los Angeles, Cal, expected to be Mrs.
Rillie Vaughn the next morning. The wedding
was set for II o'clock Monday. but at the ap.
pointed time the bridegroom had failed to an.
pear. The bride, very pretty brunette looked
very sweet in her wedding gown.
The minutes sped rapidly by and still
no groom. The wedding was postponed one
hour
1t appears that there were two young men
who wanted to marry Miss Lee. Dick Vaughn
was rich and managed to win the consent OF
Aliss Lee, waile Dick Elliott was poor and fol-
lowed the unlovely occupation Of a grave dig
ger at Evergreen cemetery. 1t is possible that
Elliott stood best in Miss Lees heart, but cir
cumstances decided in favor of Vaughn
Mrs. Vaughn, however, did not approve of
her sons marriage, and detained him at
home when she learned the day and the hour
had been set. and sent a letter to the bride,
waiting in her robes, that her son would not he
there
The sister of the bride did not waste any time
thinking about the tickle bridegroom, but took
the next car for Evergreen cemetery. She found
Dick Elliott digging grave. The young lady
told him that the field was clear. The digging
of the grave was intrusted to another man. and
Dick went home and soon emerged dressed in
his best suit Of clothes.
When he called at the home of Miss Lee
there were cries of Dick" "Rilliel" and the
next minute the two lovers were locked in
each others arms.
II nearly made an awful mistake sobbed
the bride
Dick kissed away the tears, and it was ar.
ranged that the grave-di gger and heiress should
be married at 3 O'Clock. The ceremony took
place at that time, and there was great jolli-
fcation.

A Home of Millionairas.

Speaking of Newport, says the Illustrated
american, nothing so impresses a visitor
as the stupidity of ordinary excursionsts trying
to enjoy themselves in that summer city of the
rich. 1t is surely no place for quiet folk seeking
health and amusement at modest figures The
whole town is so dominated by the majesty of
millions that no remotest corner is left
for the well-to-do, even when fatteued
out and all gone to eyes and
mouths to cape and Ftara while plutocracy
grows jovial in glded sunshine Unless they
90 very early or late before or after the butter
fly toys through the season, mediocre pros per-
ity had best stay at home and not attempt even
the humhlest rivalry. Newport is the focus for
this country 9 EXTREMIST wealth and smartness.
The milionaires made it famous, and they
deeply resent any poaching on their preserves.
A very tremendous belle and heiress put up her
glass the other day while driving and inquired
plaintively why some one did not arrest those
Shabby sight Seers for spelling the view. She
was simply expressing the sentiments of
her kind, who completely possess the
place for time. keep a succession of ire
proachable equipaees rolling over its smooth
drives, support summer palaces on the right
and the left Of the green shaded avenues, and
for three months flood the picturesque old city
with beauty, the glamor of riches and ceaSelesS
excitement. All over this broad land are spots
almost equally lovely, and instead of hanging
by their eyelids, foraging for fuu at insurmount-
able disadvantages, or peering at society
through sternly guarded peep-holes, it would
certainly be better sport to try the first in
Brundisium plan for a while. 1t is the dlllest
place on earth for transient guests out of the
swim when gaiety il on.

Lea der Quay is stin Living.

Rather a sensational statement comes
from Philadelphia to the effect that Master
Workman T. V. Powderly and the other
Knights OF Labor who were attempting to
betray their organization to the Republican
party met q crushing defeat Saturday last.
1t 10 said that the entire scheme to use the
knights as an instrument to down the state
democratic ticket was laid bare to the
light" Until the legislative convention OF
the Knights of Labor met Saturday at
Philadelphia the order had not held such a
convention before since Jan. last.
Presumably the call was issued to further
the cause Of the proposed constitutional
convention. Really it is said to have been
intended to get the knights to commit the
order to Candidates Gregg and Morrison
and to work for the republican state ticket
Knights James A. Wright and NJ H.
Butler issued the call in their official
capacity. Strangely enough some of the
brother knights now declare that those
officials of the order issued the call at the
instance Of Senator Quay. Up to the day
of meeting many Of the delegates did not
understand the real underlying motives for
such a convention. When they did finally
grapple the full significance of the
assemblage they Immediately proceeded to
kick vigorously. Just as soon as Chairman
Wright had called the convention to order
the averse delegates at once charged that it
was improperly called for the covert pur-
pose of aiding the republican politicians in
making use of the order TO strengthen the
republican ticket in Pennsylvania.
Notwithstanding the hasty and protuse
protests of Leaders Powderly. Butler and
Wright that the call was regular and the
motives strictly virtuous, motion to dis
solve the convention was carried with an
impetuous rush and large majority. Then
the delegates Immediately summoned
another convention.
Apparently ths Powderly- Butler Wright
scheme was to have the Knights of Labor
send out over the state large troop of
stitutional convention to urge the election
of the republican ticket. But
the majority didn't take to that scheme
at all. Hence the hasty adjournment and
call for a new convention. General senti-
ment in the assemblaSe was SO strong
against the clique that the nicely arranged
series of ready-made resolutions they had
brought along were all strangled in their
infancy.
Not only will this be likely to create a
storm throughout the order involved, but
it shows that the Hon. Matt Quay is not
half as superannuated and weary as he
looks. In his own peculiar way the sena-
tor is still a-hustlng.

Reatsn on a SQUARE issue.


Mai. Barksdale, the champion of the
subt treasury scheme in Mississippi. has
bean defeated in his contest with Senator
George for United States senator. The oon-
test was a notable one and attracted the at
tention of the whole country from the
beginning to the end Of il.
Senator George is a candidate for re-elec-
ton, aud Re has many more votes than he
needs. Maj. Barksdale has been a prom
inent democrat in Mississippi for many
years and his personal popularity is great.
He thought his popularity and his advocacy
OF the sub-treasurY scheme would enable
him to succeed Senator George in the Sen
ate. He is q wiser man than he was three
months ago and, probably, very much dis
appointed one.
The sub-treasury scheme is not dead in
Mississippi, but it is badly crippled. twill
never again have the hold upon the people
of that state it once had. The sledge ham
mer logic of Senator George knocked the
vitality out of it. The majority of the
Mississippi farmers are convinced that
would do them no good, aud would afford
the speculators additional means for rob-
bing them.
The kind of democratic talk which Sena-
tor George gave the Mississippi farmers is
needed in this state. II he could be heard
in every county Col. Livingston would no
longer boast of his purpose to cram the
sub-treasury scheme down the throat Of the
| Democratic party Of Georgia. The colonel
| khok 4l,os ia IN,
harmony with genuine democratic doctrine.
And how can ii be in harmony with dem
ocratic doctrine3 Was it not made plank
of the alliance platform by Macune. Polk
and others With the view Of breaking up
the Democratic party9
Only recently Col. Polk said in Kansas
that he had no use for either of the old po-
litical parties. He is for the Peoples party
and he does not hesitate to say so when he
Is in Kansas where that party has the
upper hand.
| Col. Livingston says he is a democrat,
and that he is going TO make the Demo-
cratic party of Georgia swallow the Ocsla
platform if he can. Does he deny that the
only platform adopted by the Peoples party
at its organization in Cincinnati May 10 Is
the Ocala platform2 He will hardly say
that the men who organized that party are
democrats The majority of them were
republicans, and they would consider any
one who called them democrats as not being
in his right mind.
The democratic leagues which are being
formed in this state should invite Senator
George to make a few speeches for them.
He has won a national reputation and he
deserves it, No other man has done SO
much to expose the sub-treasury fallacy.
In the present congress he will be notable
figure. He will be pointed out as the terror
of demRgogues

Mr. and Mrs. Ephriam Riker own nice home
at No. 204 Madison avenue. They also possess
Polish servant girl who boasts a name as long
as a Chinese mandarin with three buttons. Or
Monday evening the aforesaid emigraut from
down-trodden Poland was granted leave of
absence by her mistress IN order that the for
mer might attend party given by fellow
countrynan on Eighteenth street. IL was
nearly midnight when she returned Pole
with an impossible name accompanied her. He
had evidently been drinking to the best of his
ability.
In Poland some of the customs are peculiar
One of the said customs is to drop in upon your
friends, and crawl into the bed that has the
greatest capacity at bedtime.
True to the tenets of his progenitors the
Polish escort, forsaking his countrywoman at
the foot OF the stairs leading to her virgin cham
ber, wandered on until the spacious and lux
urIant couch Of the Rikers fell upon his vision
1t mattered but little to the emigraut that the
bed already held two occupants so long as there
was room for third. The descendant of Kos
ciusko, therefore, calmly divestng himself of
his clothing crawled beneath the snowy sheets
and applied himself asSiduously to slumber
Just az the dim grayness Of dawu was steal
ing over the horizon MIR. Riger became aware
that some contraband object was stealing over
the small OF his back. Reaching out his hand in
order to learn the nature of the intruder he
grasped-a foot.
That touch of feeling brought the proprietor
of the bed TO his sense and sitting position.
What he saw made him apoplectic with surprise
and indignation. Sire. ched at his right side
Law the burly form of a Polish escort, snoring
and serene.
A moment later Mr.. Pole was basking upon
the floor, propelled thither by DIr. Rikers foot.
Then he was told to get up, dress and get out,
ip order 70 avoid the expense of powder and
shot aud coroner's fees. The gentleman from
Poland silently and unwillingly complied with
the command.
Either Mr.. and Mrs. Riker must be phenome-
nally heavy eleepers else Mr.. = sky has
missed his vocation in being Pole instead OF a
burglar
