the trouble of a line or so of de- scription.
 The Big Store" doesn't ex- actly lay claim to pure perfec- tion----even in the mail-order de- partment---in a world that never will be but imperfection at the best. But the stages that stretch toward the goal of perfection lie through the tangled paths of imperfection, and get broader and easier as the hand of pro- gress brushes aside the briars of mistakes.
 To endeavor to intelligently interpret your written wishes :; to serve them with the most de- sPatch; to please you as much as it's possible by proxy; to help you to the least labor of pen and thought--these should be the highest efforts of well directed mail-order service.
 Thus you find here shrewd judges, cunning in quality choos- ing, skilled in shade matching, tasteful in color combining, thoughtful in pocket-saving, all for your use and service in filling those letter demands of yours carefully and conscientiously.
 'Tisn't unlikely a mistake will occur now and again --the comic muse. says they will, seven in the best regulated families" !" But if that error is fairly and squarely of the Big Stores making, be sure that it will be adjusted to your complete satis- faction before the transactions through.
 Remember your wishes ex- pressed in writing bear just as much weight as if uttered by word of mouth, for the mail de- partment has as high and honor able a reputation to maintain as any of the other twenty-two counters.
 With you in a measure rests the success of the service, for your appreciation and recogni- tion of 1t can but increase its efficiency.

''Litera scripta manet," (what Is written re- maius)
 Steam, electricity and the rest of the rapid transit crowd have become such essential parts of our nineteenth century existence that few of us, even the thinking ones, care to waste time in the remembrance of the slow old mail coach, carrier and pony ex- press service of the past.
 Think how the folks of other days would have held up their hands in holy horror of such in- ventions of the evil one as the telephone or photograph.
 The wizard" would have been a veritable wizard to them, and safe to surmise would have met with scant courtesy from people who could be guilty of the atrocity of preventing a man kissing his wife on Sunday. How could the "rnail order part of any business be success in such times2
 You who do perhaps most of your mail-choosing by the friend ly aid of 'smodern merchandis- ing" may well ask. You would hardly have had the patience fol the weary waiting, may be ot weeks, between the coming and going. Samples could hardly have been FREE then, if they went at all. Delay must have even killed "second choice" How different now.

Hut Fell on Broken Glass With Ba
 Feet and Received Severe Injuries

 Hut Fell on Broken Glass With Bare Feet and Received Severe Injuries. A young urchin, who attempted to gain free access to Schuetzen park, met with painful accident yesterday. He made leap for the fence, but missed his hold, falling back on piece of broken tum- bier that lay on the ground below. The glass penetrated into the ball of the foot and caused the boy intense pain. An ar tery had seemingly been struck, as blood flowed from the wound in great quantities. As soon as possible the boy was removed to the saloon and his injuries dressed. Owing to the fact that no physician could be found, the managers at the park ordered the boy to be taken home in hack. He was about eleven years old, but his name could not be obtained.

 THE SPORTS AT THE PARK. :. The crowd present was furnished no end of amusement, which included dancing, climbing greased pole, the capture of g greased pig, a fat mems running race, 8 pudding eating contest, which consisted of three young men, all blindfolded, who sat down to table on which was pan of pudding and each one fed the other with the pudding. The winner of the contest was to be the one who was able to eat the most.
 The climbing of the greased pole was &C., complished by Lawrence Mulligan, ia miliarly known as the ''boy tramp" who succeeded in reaching the top of the pole and thereby winning the coveted prize of $2.
 THE CAPTURE OF THE PIG Was successfully accomplished by a col ored youth well-known as "Smoke," but whose baptismal name is Leonard Saun- dsrs. The pig which was valued at $5 was sold by the winner to one of the spectators for $3. The pig was not greased, as it was expected it would be, fact which caused Officer Morris Connolly to remark that if he had known that the pig was not going to be greased he would have been one of the contestants himself. THE PUDDING MATCH.
 The pudding match, the prize for which was $1 was won by Patrick Harrigan, the only other contestant being Edward John son, 8 colored man.

Search for Civilization.

The Russian Government some time
ago decided to make some admins
trative and educational reforms In
Asiatic Russia, and, with view to pro-
ceeding intelligeutly, sent to it's officials
in Siberia interrogatory circular letters
OF considerable minutencss. The pre-
siding officer in the district Akmolinslx
was asked, with the others, as to the
progress Of civilization in the region he
had the honor to superintend. He re-
Turned this answer, which was pub
Eshed recently in the Siberian Messea-
ger: 1.-The civilization is not to be
found in the territory under my super
vision 1t may have withdrawn to the
Chinese border, although 1 can not say
to certainty. The Governor, how
ever, has sent out two Cossack horse
men to look it up, and they may have
found it at the present writing" In re-
Spouse to the emphatic and rather I'M
complimentary comments of the ST..
Petersburg office on this remarkable
statement, the Akmolinsl1 official ex-
planned that he thought that by civ
ilization" the Government had meant
an obscure tribe of Iiirgeez, and that,
| acting in accordance with this belief.
he had instituted the search mentioned
in his first answer.
