 at it as we do.
 People everywhere
 are working from morn-
 ing until night, from
 childhood to old age,
 and it is largely strug-
 gle for food and cloth-
 ing. Every one needs
 these in order to exist,
 and it is that necessity
 which keeps the world
 ever at work. How
 important, then, to
 humanity at large that
 these great needful
 things should be sup
 piled on the best terms
 possible, - that goods
 should go as nearly as
 possible direct from the
 mills and factories to
 those who actually use !, .a them. If a number of e 8 R8 profits are to be added NM A lW ,Dto the cost of an article 1AhNl4NfH or articles, then it is ,lIG ~-A44 impossible for hard- oIf G z ,o,,,,n, Me 70 earned dollars to buy n Ms me,o as much as they ought store. to buy.
 It is just here tha. the great stores of to-day step in. They are based largely on this modern idea of buy ing in bulk from first hands, and turning over the goods to the con- sumer at a small profit. Such stores require large capital and trade to succeed, and naturally are found only in large cities. But for Mail order shopping, out-of-town residents would be shut off from the great ad- vantages they undoubtedly confer. Few large stores have a Mail order service, although with us that has grown to be a leading feature of our business, due, perhaps, to the fact that people have learned to know that they can write to us for what they want, and be as we'll served as if they came in person. Mail.order shopping puts before the residents of small towns the chance to get the same goods and prices as city trade. To our mind, the value to them of that privilege cannot be overestimated,
 Thus it is pleasant to know that customers are reaping as much or more benefit from the various trans actions of this business as the busi- ness itself. The profits made from their trade may be seen concen- trated in the beautiful new building, with its great stock, but what the business has done in return is only known and appreciated in the tens of thousands of homes where it's goods have gone.
 To those who are interested in Mail-order shopping we will send free large descriptive catalogue, with prices and complete informa- ton.

DOM PEDRO,s LAST HOURS.

No Official Recognition i'm Rio Janet- TO on Receiving the News of His Death-The Funeral Arrangements.
 PARIS, Dec. 6.-Dispatches from Rio Janeiro say news of the death of Dom Pedro met with no official recognition in the Brazilian capital. A number of mer chants and shopkeepers closed their places of business for the day out of respect for the ex-emperor, but his death was marked by no other demonstrations.
 The king of Portugal in letter of con- dolence to the Countess d'Eu (Princess Isabella), the daughter of Dom Pedro, offers the use of the vault of the Braganza family for the burial of the ex-emperor.
 Dom Pedro was fully possessed of his mental faculties till the end. During Fri day forenoon, being conscious that he was nearing death, he had mass celebrated in his bedroom. The Countess d'Eu, Prince Ernest of Saxe-Coburg- Gotha and all the other members of the dying mans | household attended the service which Dom Pedro, himself, was able to follow, and at which he received the communion. Dur ing his last hours the ex-emperor repeated | ly exhorted his heir, the Princess Isabella, to pray with him for the peace and pros perity of Brazil. Soon after the Abbt Rebours had administered the last saora ment Dom Pedro went into comatose con dition. He passed quietly away. Hi body has been embslmed and other prep arations have been made for the funera which is to be held on Thursday.
 Dom Pedro's family have received man. calls of coincidence. Among those wh have called and inscribed their names il the visitors book are Premier de Freycine and host of other notables.

Trinity church was filled to oyerflowing last evening at the special musical service. The sermon was by Rev. Dr. Harwood on the Scripture. Themusic, as is the rule at Trinity, was of the highest order. The anthem, Schumann's Advent Hymn, :" was rendered with great effect and pre-. cision by the choir, who showed their thorough training. The singing quality oi the boys voices was remarkably fine. The soloist was Mir Charles Herbert Clarke of New York, who has a sympathetic tenor voice of rich hing quality, which perfectly suited the solos in the Magnificent by Cobb, and the "Advent Hymn" The latter work was heard here for the first time, and is beautiful thought of the great Schu- mann The organ voluntaries were, as usual, very interesting and possessing { churchly dignity.

CHURCH OF THE MESSIAH.

An Interesting Service of Song Closing Meeting of the Series.
 The last meeting of series of very in- terestiRg services was held last evening st the Church of the Messiah, which probs- ply never contained larger audience. A large number of temporary seats were oc- cupied and many persons were standing throughout the entire service.
 The beautiful singing of Rev. Stanford Mitchell, who has favored the meetings with his delightful songs and addresses, was much enjoyed by the large assem- blaze.
 During an interval between the songs sn excellent poem was read by the pastor, Rev. L. H. Squires, who later made short address from the text, ''Ths Lord is with you while ye be with him"
 Brief extracts from the concise sermon are as follows: ''The very heart of the a parting message at this closing meeting of the series. We are all in Gods hands. God is above all, through all, in all. He who shapes his course in opposition to divine law will con- tinually meet obstacles, while who acts in accordance with Gods commandments will always be aided by favorable circumstances. Let us turn our steps into the highway of holiness that leads to that awaits us all.
 MT. Mitchell then sang Some Sweet Day." which he stated was by urgent re- quest.
 The pastor expressed his appreciation of the large attendance that had been present during the meetings of the past week, which he hoped had been beneficial to many. He regretted that the meetings were not to begin at the present time. He also expressed his appreciation of the presence of Mrs. R. F. Lines. who at the piano had accompanied the singing. MT. Mitchell has fully sustained his rep utstion as the leading gospel singer in this country. His voice is marvellously sweet and his thorough command of it is very remarkable. He has sung his way into the hearts of many du-ing his brief stay here and has left an impression for good that will not soon be obliterated. It is hoped and expected that in the near future he will again consent to visit New Haven l and remain for several weeks. Among those who heard him yesterday morning was ex-Mayor Shelton.
 The beautiful song 'In the Sweet Bye and Bye" was sung with spirit at the close of the meeting.

 LYNN, Mass,, Dec. 6.-Dr 0. B. Teed, the apostle of a new theology denominated Koreshanity, is proselyting in this city.

He has other branches in San Francisco and Portland, Ore. In dustrial and wealth-producing employ ment is to give variety to the lives of the Koreshans. Dr. Feeds theory is that a | course of life as Koresan will bring about physiological change in the brain, the blood will become white and run the other way from its present route and i'm. mortal body will ensue.

 Contests for Several Seats-Tht
 Speakership Fight.
 WASHINGTON, D. O., Dec. 6.-The Fifty second congress will assemble tomorrow at noon. The usual decorous quiet is ex- pected to characterize the assembling of the senate. An unually large number of senators will stand before the vice presi- dent to take the oath of office, for thirty two of them (nearly one-half of the mem- ship are either new or begin new terms. Senator David B. Hill of New York is not expected to appear in the senate for some time, and his credentials have not yet been filed with the secretary. Redfeld Proc tor has also failed in this respect, but he may yet hand his letter of appointment to the secretary in time.
 RIVAL CLAIMANTS TO SEATS.
 In two cases there are rival claimants to seats. MT. Dubois of Idaho is challenged as to the validity of his title by Mir. Clag- cit, but as the name of the former appears on the secretary's list he will be sworn In and MT. Clsgett's claim will be examined by the committee on privileges and cleo tions. MT. Call of Florida also finds a contestant in MT. Davidson, who is armed case may possibly be referred to the same committee for report before either party is admitted
 Should the house fail to organize to- morrow the senate will not transact any business. Conferences will be held by senators of the different parties early in the week to arrange the membership of the committees,@ a task of more than erdi- nary importance, this time, in view of the incoming of fifteen new senators.
 THE sPEAKERsHIP.
 Unless there should be radical change in the speakership situation tonight or early tomorrow morning the house, for the first time since the Thirty-sixth con- gress, will meet without a previous selec- ton by the dominant party of presiding officer. Should there be failure to decide upon speaker at the caucus tomorrow forenoon it will be necessary for the house to adopt one or the other of the two methods established by precedent, namely, to elect a temporary chairman or tenn porary speaker or else commit the duty of presiding to the clerk. Very little busi- ness will be transacted in the house during the week. The presidents message will be received and read on Tuesday, if the house completes it's organization to- morrow and for the rest of the week brief sessions and adjournments over for day or two at time are probable.
