According to a recent statement made
by Commissioner Raum there are 900.
600 claims pending before the Pension
bureau, and it would take more than
three years to dispose of them all if no
new ones were put in. These claims
are mostly made by soldiers who are
not receiving pensions of any kind, and
as there are more than 1000, 600 already
on the pension rolls it is fair to presume
that 1900, 900 men are represented on
the books of the Pension bureau.

The New Jersey Commissioners for
the Worlds Columbian Exposition have
already issued IA circular urging the ex-
hibitors from this State to promptly de-
termine what space they will need, SO
that the Commission itself may secure
good locations for the display to be
made of New jerseys resources and
products. The Commission is also to
hold meetings in various cities in order
to stimulate interest in the Exposition.
New Jersey was such IA liberal support
er of the Centennial Exhibition in every
way that Philadelphiaians still feel
grateful to her authorities and people,
and will be glad to note that the State
manifests the same patriotic feeling TO-
wards Chicago's undertaking. The
Commission, in citing some of the
manufacturing enterprises from which
large exhibits are desired, makes some
points that are interesting and not gen.
orally known. II says:
1.-The great and important silk indus
try of the United States is very largely
concentrated in New Jersey, equalling
at least the combined production Of all
the other States. A very large amount
of capital is invested also in this State
in the various manufactures of iron,
which, in connection with the value of
certain ores peculiar to the State, en-
tering largely into the highest grades
of manufactured metal, give TO New
Jersey an important and prominent
rank in that industry. IT. is believed
that, with the possible exception of
CuLnec.icut, no one State in the Union
exceeds our own in the manufactured
value Of les costly and artistic jew elry,
The vast and increasing interests con-
cernel IN the manufacture of glassware
L. its varieties, and the highest and fin
Est grades o. pottery, are most extern
sively located in this State, and are
Capable of a splendid display in any
mpetitive exhibit. In the manu-
Iaclure of leather New Jersey stands
almost unrivalled. The commercial
value of its expectation is very great,
and carries the fame of our State into
amos every quarter of the civilized
globe"

Perhaps you don't quite understand the meaning of "broken lots" as ap- piled to clothing It means suit not all made up from the same piece of goods. It doesn't mean that the trous- CTS won't harmonize with the coat or that any one of the articles will be out of place when worn with the other. On the contrary, some exceedingly be- coming combinations can be made at prices that astonish the purchaser. Broken lots and shattered prices gc together you will find if you call al our store this month and want a suit for yourself or boy.
