GOOD NEWS
For the Ladies.

Appreciating the fact that Pittsburg,
Allegheny and vicinity are blessed with
thousands of ladies that are always looking
out for the welfare of their husband,
father, brother or some one else's brother,
is the one reason why we address the ladies.
We have laid in a stock of extraordinary
fine overcoats and suits for the coming holi-
days. The overcoats are with silk, satin
and cashmere trimmings, cut either in
short, medium or long lengths. They were
all originally made to order by the very
best of merchant tailors Now we are in a
position to know how much wiser the ladies
want to appear to their husband, father or
brother, and are going to help them out all
we possibly can by selling to them our fine
overcoats at $12, SIS, SIS and 800 30. We
will guarantee the price to them to be the
very lowest. In suits we have them in the
Prince Albert, full dress (swallowtaiD,
one, three and four-button cutaway; and in
sacks the three styles, straight cut, double
breasted or the cutawav sack. An elegant
Prince Albert suit for $22 80; beautiful
full dress, satin-lined suit for S25; hand
some cutaway suit for $1S, and nobby sack
suit for S15.
You will certainly agree with us that
there is nothing that would be more appre-
ciated by any Of the male members Of your
family than a handsome merchant tailor
made overcoat or suit for Christmas pres
ent, and by coming to US you will be treated
right.
Polite statesmen will delight in assisting
you all in their power to make your selec-
tions. Very respectfully,
MIsFIT CLOTHING PARLoRs,

the coloring left nothing to be desired.
Iorgnettes of shell have shorter handles

less delicately carved handles than for

The prettiest spreads for the white and

embroidered all over in scroll-like patterns
done in white silk. Flower patterns are
also brought out with outlines of rope silk
and filled in with lace stitches of various
kinds on the linen.
Quite the newest and most approved
thing in table spreads is an odd bit of the
beautiful Eastern tapestries found in the
large shops where choice materials are kept.
These tapestries, while not embroidered bv

stitches and exquisite color combinations
The piece is simply hemmed on the raw
edges and thrown over the table or divan as

New beds follow the Louis XIV. outlines,
being less elaborately carved and gilded
than those of the succeeding Louis. The
head and foot of the frame are of exactly
the same height, and the bed has bolster
of the same kind at both head and foot over
which the spread is drawn, thus abolishing
the pillow and its attendant nuisance, the
pillow cover.
Most beds designed for two people really
consist of two beds standing side by side,

Autograph table cloths are the latest home
caprice, according to Paris correspondent
quoted by the Buffalo Commercial You
take very smooth, fine cloth. either light
gray or bright scarlet, and you ask all your
friends to write their names or verses or
stray thoughts-with signatures of course
in lead pencil These you embroider care
fully in varied shades in silk and wool, so
as to make variety of color, of light and
shade. Rule, reason or classical methods
must be thrown to the winds; the great
charm is the barbarous freaks of each
writer's wild goose chase. If you can OBJ
tain celebrated autographs, your table
cover may be worth hundreds of dollars in
time, but the simple writing of plain Mrs.
C. coming next to her dear friend and in
innate enemy, Nine. D., makes great fun.
The illustration shows an extremely
pretty and novel work-case, or, as our
crandmothers would have called it, ''lady's

white linen, on which tiny scattered

The speaker replisd that it would not, the
time fixed for general debate having ex-
piTed.
Mr.. McComas' motion was agreed TO,
yeas, l39, nays, l01, and accordingly the
House went into committee OF the whole on
the bill indicated.
REPUBLICAN, HYPOCRISY.
In the course of the debate which at
tended the reading Of the paragraphs the
elections bill was brought TO the fore, Mr..
Hemphiil declaring against what he de-
nominated the ''arFant bypocrisyn of the
Republican party in trying to put upon
some of the people Of the country an un-
warranted and ignorant vote, while deny
lng that vote to the same class Of persons in
the District of Columbia.
The negro question was brought up by
Mr.. Richardson of Tennessee, who quoted
many newspaper extracts relative to thP
treatment OF the negroes in the northern
states. The allegation that the negroes
were badly treated In those states was
vigorously contested by Messrs. Henderson
of Illinois aud Morse Of Massachusetts, the
latter calling attention to the fact that the
present administration had appointed GIL
colored men 70 official positions.
The NEGRO IN NEW YORK.
Mr.. Spinola OF New York said that il
New York the negro was given every right
and privilege that white men enjoyed. He
despised the contemplate and dirty politi-
clan who tried TO uss the negro for his own
purposes. New York guaranteed every
right TO its oolored citizens But when the
republicans came forward with the force
bill saying that its purpose was to proteci
the negro, it was all humnug, and they wert
saying what was not true.
Then discussion arose upon q proposition
to close the debate on an unimportani
paragraph. Mr.. McComss having made q
motion TO that effect, Mr.. McCreary Of
Kentucky moved to amend 1t by limiting
the debate to one hour.
POINT OF ORDER.
A point of order was raised against the
amendment on the ground that the motion
to close the debate was not amendable by .
motion to limit the debate. The parties,
pants in the discussion were, upon the re-
publican side, Messrs McComas, Adams OF

Atlanta's Observance OF Less Birth
day Criticised.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-The Star says
the announcement in an Atlanta telegram
last night concerning the observance of
Lees birthday that the postofice kept
regular holiday hours, attracted considers-
BILE attention at the postoffice department,
and inquiry developed the fact that no re-
quest had been received from the Atlanta
postmaster for permission to close the Office
on that day.
WHAT THE DEPARTMENT SAYS.
A Star reporter interviewed First Assist
ant Postmaster General Whitfield who
stated that 1t was customary to obtain per-
mission from the department when the post
Office was to be closed on any Gay that was
not legal holiday. He added, however,
that the regulations gave postmaster
authority to close the Office, and re-
ferred to the following paragraph in
the regulations: "Postmasters may observe
as holidays Jan. l, July 4. Dec. 25, and such
other days as the President of the United
States or the governors in their respective
states may designate as fast or thanksgiv-
ing days. or proclaim specially as holi-
days" He said. however. that il the post
Office at Atlanta was closed yesterday. as
stated, it was done in violation of the
usages of the department, even il this ac-
tion was in accordance With the letter Of
the regulations.
