OURSELVES.

Possibly it is not good taste to make personal allusionS, but we are such an excessively young firm that it may be pardoned. We cannot point with pride to a long and distant past-we cannot even refer to last year; but we can plant six feet on the living present and serve your interests with as much pleasure and profit as our more ancient and respect ed competitors. Our stock is even newer than ourselves, and
 it may interest you to know that our ambition is a trifie larger than the commercial field we hope to occupy. We are a bit OveranXiOuS to place your orders
 on our brand new order book, and to feel the weight of your sil-
 yer in our pockets. Perhaps you will find it convenient and profit
 able to allow us an opportunity to do both.

 An Able and Eloquent Discourse.
 Rev. MT. Luckey of the Humphrey street Congregational church preached an admirable sermon last evening in the Church of the Messiah. His text was taken from II. Corinthians, 3d chapter and 18th verse: "But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the spirit of the Lord" The lessons drawn from the sermon were: First, that Christian life involves a contemplation of the glory of the Lord; second, that contemplation of the character of Christ and studying deep ly the attributes of the character of the master would cause those engaged in that blessed work to reflect the glory thus seen: and, third, this life of contemplating and refecting the character of God as revealed in the master would result in the trans formation of all so engaged into the same glorious image. The sermon throughout was an excellent one and the audience gave the speaker their undivided atten tion

THE GREAT SPECIAL SALE

 The great special sale now in progress at George H. Ford's, corner of State and Chapel streets, is very much appreciated by housekeepers who wish to replenish their china for table use, as the prices at which many have been able to secure fine china and dishes at this noted establish ment are actually less than the price of more ordinary wares.

Equally interesting pieces for the drawing room are an elegant mantel set, clock and two side pieces, of marble and European cloisonne, fine French movement, striking the hours and half hours on cathedral gong, price reduced from S1OO to s60; pair of French cande- labra, reduced from $65 to $25; Dresden china, Royal Worcester, all takes it's place in the procession. The articles mentioned are few leading things, the prices of which have been specially cut. and the prices are far below cost of importation

THEY USED DYNAMITE,
Train Robbers IN Texas Adopt . New
Method.

special dispatch from Del Rio, Tex, to the
st. Louis Post Dispatch says: Tclegraphic ad-
vices from Samuels, Tex, small station on
the Southern Pacific railway, in thinly settled
section, give an account of daring train rob-
berry committed by six masked men at that
place shortly after midnight Tuesday night.
Dynamite and Winchesters were used as a
means of intimidating the express messenger
and gaining entrance into his Car.
All the money and valuables in the safe in
the express car were secured by the robbers,
as well several sacks of mail and registered
packages. The amount of money obtained is
thought to be more than $4,000.
The train was just pulling out from the sta
ton when the masked men. who had selected
their positions, simultaneously mounted the
engine, mail and express cars Over forty
shots we're fired, literally perforating the cars,
but without injuring any one, when an unex-
pected mode of procedure was adopted, that Of
exploding d dynamite cartridge against a small
window in the express car. The effect of this
was to tear the window out and otherwise dam
age the car.
The express messenger was stunned, but he
recovered In a few moments only to be over
powered by the robbers and made to give up
his safe key, The train was held up for several
hours. The robbers took their time in doing
the job and showed the utmost GOODNESS. Horses
were in readiness for them and upon the COM
pletion of their work they rode rapidly away
and are now in Mexico beyond the reach of the
authorities.
The sheriff of Del Rio was telegraphed to Sc
cure posse and give pursuit a reward of $3.50
per capita being offered for the capture of the
robbers. He left at 10 o'clock yesterday morn
ing.

upstairs to rejoin the family.
number OF the passengers by the Majestic
spoke today enthusiastically of their delightful
association with Mrs. Mckee and Mrs. Russell
Harrison on the way over. When the two ladies
went aboard the steamer at Liverpool they were
presented with beautiful floral shield from
the members of the United States legation in
London.
At Queenstown the Majestic was DELAYED ten
hours waiting for the mails. Mrs. Mckee and
Mrs Harrison, with several of the other pas
sengers. employed this time in taking short
tour with jaunting cars through the beautiful
roads and byways near Queenstown. The morn
ing was delightful and the party thoroughly
enjoyed the excursion.
The big steamer encountered very heavy
weather on Sunday. In this gale Mrs. Russell
Harrison proved herself a first-class sailor.
She was on deck every day during the voyage.
But the stormy weather was too much for Mrs.
Mex aud she was compelled to remain in her
state room for two DAYS.

Royal Women Who smoke.

from the tribune OF deneva.
If women smoke much nowadays they can at
least plead that the example is set in high cir
cles. The Empress of Austria smokes thirty to
forty Turkish cigarettes every day. On her
writing table there Is silver box with fine re-
lief work filled with cigarettes and gold ash
tray. The czarina also yields to the passion for
nicotine. but she only smokes in her boudoir, a
copy OF one Of the prettiest rooms in the Al
hanibra, filed with palm trees. Her anxieties
may plead her excuse; but Queen Marguerite of
Italy, whose life ia freer from care, smokes also,
and smokes much, but always in solitude The
queen regent Of Spain consumes Egyptian
cigarettes in large quantities, Queen Natalie of
Servia has a wonderful store OF cigarettes of
every kind, the Queen of Roumania carries a
little golden box filled with the same means of
delight, while the Comtesse de Paris appreciates
only the tobacco OF Havana, and her daughter,
the Queen Of Portugal, gets her cigarettes from
Dresden.
