How Hides Are Tanned.

Better leather is made today from
hides il from sixty TO ninety days than
was manufactured in the old way. Ii
should be remembered, however, that
hides are tanned in precisely the same
hammer now they have always been.
That is. the same agencies are used for
combining it with the gelatine of the
hide and for converting it into leather.
Modern tanners have simply discovered
methods by which the fannie acid Is
made to penetrate more quickly into the
pores of the skin. This is accomplished
partly by frequent manipulation OF the
hides while in the vats and partly 10y

Spring is not really here
and the robins have not COM

prudent man prepares for it in
advance by looking in on us
and seeing our goods. We
have the tables groaning under
the weight of the Spring fabrics
we have lately put in. Come
now while the lines are COM
plete, for there's no telling
how soon pieces will be used
up. A personal inspection Of
our stock is much better than

fabrics, and is much more sat

Subject of her address was "Tne

of it will be of interest to our readers
of both sexes.

THE death of Senator Wilson

THE death of Senator Wilson is
not merely loss to the Democratic
party, but as we'll to the State. He
was undoubtedly one of Maryland S
most accomplished lawyers, man
whose political methods and prac
tees were not in keeping with those
too prevalent in the recent history OF
his party in Maryland. All our
people honor his memory, because
he was pure man, and who by his
high character honored his State.
The death of every such man is a
public calamity, in these days OF
sordid ambitions, when the monetary
corruption OF politics runs riot

THE nomination by the President
of Ex-Governor Foster of Ohio to
the Secretary of the Treasury is
generally regarded as an excellent
one. Mr.. Foster is we'll known and
highly esteemed throughout the
country by men of both parties who
have acquaintance with him. His
service for ten years in the House, a
portion OF which time he was a
member of the Appropriation Com
mittee, and his service for two terms
as Governor of Ohio, furnish qualifi-
cations and equip him with expert
ence that will enable him to immed-
lately and intelligently proceed with
the labor which Mr.. Wind om
laid down with his life. In addition
to these qualifications attained in the
public service, Mr.. Foster has been
extensively engaged in private bust
ness including the banking business
and this will add to his general
equipment for the successful dis
charge of the important duties COM
mitted to him. On all fiscal ques
tons Mr.. Foster entertains sound
views, and will follow the line of
policy that has marked the admins
tration of the Treasury on the cur
rency question under both political
parties. The Ohio men are delight
ed with the appointment, first
because it is good selection, and
second, because they believe his
will strengthened the Republican
party in the State.
