WHAT | SAW AT BARNABY'S.
They Were Pushing Things---Every-
body Knows What That Means.

The j. B. Barnaby Company has always
had such fine lines of goods and has ad-
vertised so extensively and judiciously
that there is very little anyone can say
about their store that the public does not
know. The company is one of the most
wide-awake in the country, and its new
store is so bright and convenient that no
one looking over the city would think of
going away without seeing IL. The com
pany has the finest in every line IL car
ries,. and makes n splendid show in it's
windows. Everything which "a man
wants TO make him look stylish or feel
comfortable, in the way OF clothing. is
there, and one of the advantages of in
vesting money in goods such as they keep
is that you may still wear the article and
look well long after the Christmas candy
and trinkets are gone.
The overcoats of all styles attract good
deal of attention in the windows and there
are s.... As OF them inside and as for suits
and dress suits of the best and most dura-
BILE kind, they have just as good as can be
bought anywhere.
What pleases the ladies is the fine line
Of wraps and muffs and children's outside
garments, which are just about the proper
things for them at this time of the year.
That Is what the Barnaby people think
about all the time, TO get something that
everybody wants so that they can't keep
anything.

refuses to divulge, and acting on the adj

the matter is now confined TO the ques ion
as to whether or not Deputy hOwley
agreed 10 divide his salary with
Secretary of State Soper as condition
of his appointment. Only three persons
besides Soper were present when the decis-
ion was arrived at. Those were Auditor
General Stone Warden Davis of Jackson
Prison, and j. A. Rosenthal, of Grand
Rapids. Davis, in an interview to-day
said that such and agreement was made,
while Stone positively asserted that no
such promise was exacted from Rowley.

He Spent the Fortune Given Her by the
King of Holland.

New YORK, Dec. 21.-William Henry
Blakeney, brother of the famous Nine.
Musard, the beautiful mistress of the late
William w., King Of Holland, died last
night at the family homestead at Orange
burg aged 81 years.
This leaves but one close blood relative
of the noted beauty. This is Mrs. Charles
Pike of lOl First place, Brooklyn. Blake
ney has squandered several fortunes in a
career of the widest dissipation. The
Blakeney fortune came from the Golfers of
William Nv. William Henry's sister,
Henrietta, thirty-flve years ago turned the
heads of all New York's men about town
with her ravishing beauty. She was CON
sidered one of the most beautiful women
in America.
Before she reached the age of 81, an at
tache of the court of Holland took her be-
fore King William and her fortune and
fame were made. The kings infatuation
was no secret, and when she died eight
years later her parents, William and Han
nah and her brother William Henry and
her sister Mary Ann received a fortune in
jewels and cash from her estate.
Later the father died and the children
received his share. Then the mother died
aud William and Mary Ann received
third fortune. The dissipation of William
Henry since that time brought him, II Is
said, TO almost absolute poverty.
Though unable 20 write his own name
he once ran newspaper i'm Nyack and
spent money lavishly at the race courses.
Three years ago, while a fortune still re-
mained, he was declared incompetent TO
MANAGE his estate and trustees were APP

Mrs. Pike, Nine. Musard's living sister,
is still handsome woman and has man
aged her fortune so that IL has doubled.
The mother. Hannah Blakeney, knew so
little about the care Of money that for
years she carried $4,000 worth of govern
ment bonds I'm her bosom. The father
met death while intoxicated, falling over

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 21.-From infor-
nation gained here it looks as il the re-
ports sent out from Washington of pre-
parations for trouble with Chile were
true. Admiral Brown yesterday secured
the the option of new and powerful
tug, the Fearless, just finished at the Union
Iron Works. She has speed of sixteen
knots, and has coal enough on board for
fifty days to maintain "A ten-knot speed.
If purchased by the government she will
be supplied with two 5-inch guns and q
secondary battery of four 60-pounders
and four torpedo tubes. She is swifter
than the Chilean torpedo cruiser and far
more powerful
Admiral Brown has also secured the op-
tion on four of Spreckel's big steamers,
the Zelandia, Australia, Mariposa and AL
ameda 10 be used for transport service.
The Zelandia can be ready at ten hours
notice and all the others inside of three
weeks
The coast defence vessel Monterey can
be made ready in three days after her
armor plate is received. Admiral Brown
received his orders to-days and the cruiser
San Francisco will come down from Mare
Islend in the morning and will probably
sail on Wednesday for Valparaiso.

from Her Fathers Property.

Susan o'Grady is one of the happiest
women in the city Of Providence to-day.
She has recovered a good share OF her

at several thousand dollars, TO his brother
James in Ireland. His daughter Susan
was cut off without a cent. The brother
died about year ago, and under the pro-
visions of his will all the property was
left To another brother who came out from
Ireland to take charge of it.
About the time the second brother ar
rived Susan decided that IL was about
time for her to act, and she entered pro-
ceedings for fourteen years services as
housekeeper for her father, and the court
produced a written agreement signed by
her father in 1877, promising TO allow her
$3.50 as his housekeeper.
After hearing all the evidence Judge
Rogers gave her the full amount asked
for, s., 700. Thomas r. Cosgrove appeared

VALPARAISO, Dec. 21.-A message was re-

Blaine had assured Minister Pedro Montt
that, after complete investigation of all
the matters in dispute between the two
countries, he was confident that an amic-
able conclusion could be arrived at.
Several prominent Chileans here, in
speaking of Minister Months response to
President Harrison's message, say that it
was couched in somewhat undiplomatic

correct. IL is probable that new Cabinet
will be formed after President Months in
auguration on December 20. when more
