will read the big advertisement on another page
they will see at glance that large line of bar
gains has Just been received, and they are
marked in figures that are astonishing consid-
ering the quality of the goods. 1t may be
asked how,such goods can be sold at such low
prices? The answer is plain-they are bought
for cash and they are sold for cash only. Even
those whodo not now intend to purchase will
be interested in examining the price list which
the Bazaar offers. And as another inducement
all straw hats purchased are trimmed free of

station keeper that he had walked all the way
from Baltimore, and was sick and penniless.
He seemed reluctant to talk but to reporter
of The HERALD he told curious story. ''My

am the son of Commodore McGonnigle, of the
Navy, who, l believe, is now stationed
in Washington, and my visit here is
to find him, if possible | never

an air of frankness that carried conviction

advised him TO remain at the station-house

Rumors That There VIM BE Many Di,-

charges Before July L.
There is CONSERVATION in the various
branches of the Census Office. 1t grows out
of the fact that the money appropriated to
carry on The work is running SO low that it
has become necessary to reduce the force. 1t
is hinted around the buildings that between
this and July the force is to be reduced at
least one thousand, which takes in quite
large number of the original appointees and
nearly all of those who were given three
months appointment. This information
was gently, impaired yesterday by Chief
Clerk Childs, on being asked to transfer
a number of the clerks to the regular list or
reappoint them for another three months
term. He replied that it was impossible, that
on the expiration of the time there would not
be any new ones appointed. The work is no
where near completion and it was only
thought possible by working the force night
and day that by December Il would all be up
in shape. This state of affairs will delay the
work of the Office considerably and will neces-
state an extra appropriation to complete it,
In the mean time the large force of clerks
are excited and the ladies are especially wor-
ried.

finish, and the judges could rot separate
them and called a dead heat. The
stakes was worth to the winner about $33, 500.
The handicap also resulted in the success of
an outsider in the betting. Eon at z to 1
took the lead in the stretch and won in very
fast time. The fayorite, Tristan, was shockingly
