 Every inch of it needed: More still upstairs on the third story that must come into active usefulness soon.

Our housewives will look to the increased housekeeping space below stairs.
 You might search some of our largest cities through for a housekeeping department that has more actual square feet. We can call to mind none.
 You know what it means. More of the house needs-less to pay for them.
 The chief charm of the three story centers probably in Furni- ture.
 We're not all furniture ex- perts. That's why we may be excused from pointing our vir- tues not visible at a glance to inexperience.
 Some of them-the furniture makers-were left out in the cold when we put in the stock.
 The cheap, showy, unreliable stuff is not here. No use look ing for it.
 The BEST quality; the FINEST finish; the most PERFECT make. These are all of them in plenty. These are what will do you the most service to buy--us the most service to sell. There are whited sepulchres in furniture as in other walks of life. The poor material disguised un- der paint and polish isn't a credit for either buyer or seller to have anything to do with. One never hears the end of it. There's heaps of it about. Too much for morality.

A NEW PHASE

In the Bridgeport Police Muddle-
 Pointed a Revolver at the Officers.
 BRIDGEPORT. Conn.,, Oct. 22.-Shortly after 9 o'clock this morning Captain Pink erman detailed three of his biggest officers and gave them orders to go into the pri- vate office of Chief Rylands and throw him out of the building.
 The officers proceeded to the office of the chief and on opening his door found him sitting in his chair reading the morning papers.
 Soon as the officers entered his office he jumped to his feet and demanded the reason for this intrusion. The officers in- formed him that they had been detailed to throw him out and were there for that purpose.
 Chief Rylands quickly reached into his pocket and, drawing large 3S-caliber pis- tol, cooked it, and pointing at the officers said that the first man who laid hand on him would be killed
 This was a setback for the officers, and after looking down the muzzle of the cooked revolver for few moments they withdrew in confusion and reported to Captain Pinkerman. Chief Rylands was allowed to occupy his office in peace, for a time at least.

En Route to Washington Passes ;. Through This city Late Yesterday
 Afternoon. F.
 Hon. James G. Blaine passed through this city en route for Washington yester- day afternoon. The train on which he was passenger arrived in this city from Boston at 5:25 p. m., and left at 5:30 p. m. At the depot but few persons were assembled to greet him, as it was known that his stay would be brief and no demonstration be made. Though little more aged in appearance than upon his previous visit to this city, his appearance indicated good health. He was accom- panied by his wife, his private secretary and Miss Hamilton. MT. Blaine absolutely refused to see any of the various reporters who were congregating about the plat form of the depot but was noticed to be in conversation during the short time his train remained in the depot with ex-Judge Lynde Harrison of this city. He stood in the doorway of his car while talking with the judge, who was upon the platform. MT. Blaine and party, after speaking of the probable success of the republican party in this state at the next presidential election, was whirled to New York, where he will spend the night, leaving early this morning for Washington.

NEGROES IN OKLAHOMA,

One very interesting feature of the
growth of Oklahoma is the part the negroes
are taking in it, E. P. McCabe, ex-auditor
of Kansas, is the head of colonization
company which intends to make Oklahoma
a negro State if possible. He has 1000
agents in the South drumming up recruits
for the new promised land. He wants i'm
migrants who have little money. Most
of the negroes already settled in Guthrie
have lots and houses of their own, and are
fully eble to take care of themselves. There
are already 1000 blacks in the territory,
and Mr. McCabe says that the number will
be 10000 when his plans are consum
mated A recent estimate of the negro
population in Oklahoma is as follows:
Guthrie, 5000; Oklahoma City, 300; the
Black Jack country near King6sher, 1900;
negro settlements near Purcell, 1000;
settlements east of Oklahoma City, 500;
in and about the smaller towns, 1000;
at and about Langston City, 1000; in the
new lands just opened, 1000; temporarily
living in the various towns awaiting op-
portunities to purchase claims, 1000. The
lots in Langston City are sold only to
negroes, with clause in every deed
that no transfer shall be made except to a
negro. The sum of $25, 200 has been
raised to build college there. Mr..
McCabe says of his black Utopia: "We
will within six months have half, or nearly
half, the population, and before the end of
two years is reached we will outnumber
the whites two to one. I will admit there
is some politics in this, for if we are capa-
BILE of self-government we are capable of
showing to the world that we can success
fully govern State. At present we are
Republicans and will work with that party
| in all elections. But the time will soon
| come when we can out-vote both parties,
and then we will have new party, having
for its purpose negro supremacy in at least
one State in the Union, and we will have
negro State and county officers and negro
senators and representatives in Washing
| ton."
This is large programme and an inter
esting one. But we do not see what grea
good is to be gained by having negro
State. 1t is already we'll understood tha
the negroes are doing well, and there is nt
need of any large number of them fockins
by themselves to demonstrate that the.
are capable of progress.

COMMUNICATIONS.
UnvestfgatiOn Wanted.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
An outrage has been committed upon
the people who live and own property on
or near Winchester avenue. Three years ago
we were told if we worked for it that a
horse railroad would soon be built on
Winchester avenue. Many of Us went to
the expense and trouble of going to Hart
ford to help the ENTERPRISE.
But month after month and year after
year have passed, and thus far we have
got nothing. No, I mistake. We have
had promises, promises, promises for
breakfast, dinner and supper that the cars
would run as soon as a certain 'move"
was consummated. But one bright
'move" after another has been made and
still the cars do not move.
We are now told that the charter has
been sold out to parties unknown, who
will build the road at once. 1t looks to
me as if we had also been sold out and
that this last "move" is like all the other
"moves" which have preceded it. Would
it not be a good plan for those citizens in
terested to hold meeting and investigate
this mattera 1t would be worth while to
find out just what the situation actually is.
We might thus learn how to get what we
need-an actual instead of an imaginary
railroad. ONE OF THE VICTIMS.
