AN EXPLANATION
In Response to a Question Many
People Are Asking.

EGoptC Rkt tASHkAks
The question is frequently asked how
can the Pacific Loan company sell such
silverware at such low prices, the goods
being made by well-known manuiactur-
ers having reputation for making best
quality wares of latest styles and de-
signs, handsomely engraved?
The explanation is, the goods are be-
ing disposed OF to cover cash advances
made on them, and the stock being 80
large for this market and the time 80
short to sell them in, it was concluded,
in order to insure a quick sale, to fix
the prices at just enough to cover the
loan and the expense OF selling, and
one-half of the original price accom-
plishes the purpose.
We will be much pleased if you will
call at the store, 215 Broadway, (Poto-
mac block, and inspect the quality,
style and prices. We fully guarantee
the goods as represented, and give
twenty-four hours to buyers to examine
them, and will, with pleasure, return
their money if from any cause they are
not wanted. Respectfully,
w. +. DEGRooT, Manager.
N. B.--The goods are selling off rap
idly and are highly appreciated by all
that see them. We hope to be able to
dispose of the balance OF the stock in
the next few days.
The sale affords beyond any doubt one
OF the best opportunities ever offered to
obtain elegant and useful holiday goods
at prices within the reach OF all. There
is considerable choice in early selections.

eluding or defeating such claim, have
reflected undue notoriety upon the en-
tire vicinity.
The community, as is proper, sympa-
thizes with these owners, and would
gladly do all it may, within the law, to
aid them in clearing their lands of this
smirch. This, and more, perhaps that
was less prudent, has been emphatic
ally expressed at these several meetings
but nothing of practical benefit to those
directly interested has thereby resulted,
while it may we'll be feared that serious
injury has been inflicted on Pomona.
Every law abiding citizen stands ready
to give moral and material support to
his neighbor in time of need, only it is
the part of all to be just before they are
generous, and it will be well if the citi-
zens of Pomona, before going too far,
would stop and consider whether its
best interests as well as those of indi-
vidual land owners will not be best sub
served by that patriotic, law abiding,
conservative course which leaves to the
majesty of the law, where it surely be-
longs and must finally repose, the arbi-
trament of these contested land titles.

son, the electrical wizard, arrived here
Tuesday. When asked if he had an
electric novelty in store for the Column
bian exposition, he replied:
well have thing in view, but the
details are as yet somewhat hazy. My
intention is to have such happy com
bination of photography and electricity
that man can sit in his own parlor and
see depicted upon curtain the forms of
the players in opera upon q distant
stage, and hear the voices of the singers.
When this system is perfected, which
will be in time for the fair, each little
muscle of the singers face will be seen
to work, every color of his or her attire
will be exactly reproduced, and the
strides and positions will be rs natural
as those of the live characters. To the
sporting fraternity | will state that ere
long this system can be applied to prize
fights. The whole scene with the noise
of the blows, talk, ETC., will be truth

Excitement Snhsiding.

AUSTIN, Pa, May 14.-The excitement
attending the late forest fires is gradual
ly subsiding, but on the streets may be
seen many men whose hands and faces
are bandaged and whose singed hair and
other marks of ill-usage proclaim them
survivors of the fire. Others who are
being cared for at the boarding houses
and their homes, are not able to be out.
and some of them never will be, No
other subject is talked of but the terrible
fire.
Survivors of the ill-fated train, which
was burned, regard their escape as some
thing of miracle. The missing men
have not been found yet, and it may be
week before the complete list of the
victims viii be made known. Through
out the entire district the number of in
jured and burned will reach 100.
The Austin chemical works was de-
stroyed. The losses caused by the fire
cannot be computed ON account of the
vast territory it covered.
Paul Coasta, who has been in the
woods for several days fighting the fire
says that number of men have surely
lost their lives in the various lumber
camps that were destroyed,
Mrs. w. II. Badger, wife of the dead
superintendent, arrived here yesterday.
Her grief is most pitiable.

the manufacturers at Key West will have

PARIS, May IA. - Official dispatches
from Toxic say that when the assault
upon his life was made, the czarewich
had crossed Lake Biwa, near Kioto, and
had landed at Otsuo, on that lake, whence
he proposed continuing his journey to
Kioto, about twelve miles distant. Short
ly after the landing of the czarewich,
native policeman, named Tsuda Sanzo.
member of the sect of Samuria, noted
for their uncompromising and fanatical
hostility to foreigners, approached the
Russian prince, and, drawing a sabre,
aimed u savage thrust at the head of the
heir to the throne of Russia Fortunate
ly the helmet worn by the czarewich
was so thick that the blade of the weap-
on only inflicted a scalp wound some
three inches in length and of insignifi-
cant depth. Before the fanatic could re-
new the attack he was seized by those
about the person of the prince, and was
speedily placed in confinement. Sur
geons at once dressed the wound. and
with but little delay the distinguished
traveller took his seat in a special train,
and departed for Kioto.
