SEATTLE, May S, 1891.
Everybody says it is the fin.
est window display ever made
in the city.
That's possible only because
the goods came from the finest
silk stock in the Northwest.
Make a guess at the value
of the goods in the window.
1t runs up into the thousand
dollars. yet you cannot tell that
even a trihe has been taken
from the silk department.
Everybody knows about our
silk department and our dress
goods stock. These are two
big features Of our big store;
the quantity, the selection. the
quality, the prices. where can
you duplicate them in a city
double the size of Seattle !?
It's the study with us to
keep ahead of the needs of Gus
toners; no tagging. always in
the advance.
About the Challies, this sea.
sons selection. Never any.
thing quite SO elegant shown.
We advise that the imported
French kind, the all wool, are
worth every bit Of 7sc and will
give you that return in salts
factory wear. But if you do
not care to put that amount
into Challles you Will IND the
25c quality not only a bargain,
but we'll worth much more than
the price. They have all the
delicacy of patterns and figur-
ings of the high priced goods.
AS the auctioneers say, this
is third and last call on the
bunting. You will have to be
early in your purchase. To-
morrow the city will be in gala
day attire. You surely do not
propose to let your place re-
main undecorated. We have
all the styles of bunting and
large flags. You will find the
prices just right.

Pro baby there is not lady in Seattle
who is not acquainted with the Chester
Cleary store. Since the untimely death of
Mr.. Cleary the store has been closed, so
that the business affairs might be arranged
the more speedily.
Now that the invoice is taken and other
matters settled the store will be opened on
Thursday, May Z, for business.
It has been decided by the admins
traitors to sell the complete stock immedi-
ately, and in order to do so they have
marked everything down 50 low that to
look at an article and hear the price is all
that will be necessary to induce one to
purchase. A large number of extra clerks
will be employed to wait on the thousands
who will rush to the opening.
There is no doubt but this sale will be
the greatest ever had in the city, for
Seattle's ladies know . good thing when
they see it.

individuals have made preparations to
receive him with great pomp and display;
but probably the most gorgeous and
attractive display will be the twenty-six

been hung in position at the corner of
Front and Columbia streets. The many
arc lights are calculated to throw q light
equal in power to 1900 candles. The dis
play is made by Hyams & Pauson, the
popular clothing dealers, and the lights
surround their building. In one of the
large show windows of the store will be q

A handle" to ones name is often q
cheap acquisition "The clouds may drop
down titles and estates" but to the mind
of a sensible American such things are
hardly worth seeking or using.
The late Leonard Jerome's three pretty
daughters, somewhat to his grief, chose
Englishmen for husbands, but though he
lived abroad during the latter years of his
life he remained independent and good
American to the end. In fact, he never
acknowledged Lady Randolph Churchill's
title, and the first visit he paid her
after her marriage he astorished the fun
key at the door by asking for Mrs Church
hill"
The cockney footman at first seemed In
clined to throw the tall, amused looking
American down the steps, and holding the
door half open announced, Indignantly,
'Er leddyship ia at 'ome. but not to the
likes of you."
Whereupon Jerome smiled gently,
reached in the doorway. and, by twist Of
his long, strong hand on the back of the
footman's coat collar, twirled him round
like top.
"Now." said he, "go tell Mrs. Churchill
that her daddy is down here in the parloI
and wants to see her, and I'll stand in the
doorway and see how fast your calves car
