the inaugural of his soon to be success
sor. Especially is this the case where
the current of events has tended, as o
hate in this State, to push forward the
public attention upon the coming mar
and the measures of local reform which
he is confidently expected to be earnes
and energetic in pressing upon the atten
ton of the General Assembly, while the
same endorsement of the same measures
from the executive whose official tern
u now so near its close would be
accepted in great degree as merely q
kindly expression of opinion.
But this is the way of the world. We
turn our faces to the rising sun and live
in the future without much regard
often less than we should have-for the
past and the men who are passing with it,
But the farewell message of Governor
Biggs comes to the people with pathetic
interest-from the chamber to which he
has been bound by illness for long,
weary weeks. And the many friends
of the kindly and popular man whose
name has been through many years OF
public service inseparahly linked to the
history of his State, will read with an
interest in which affection and sympathy
will play no small part what in all
human probability may be his last
official deliyerance to them.
The message, as will be seen on pc
rusal, deals with variety of local in
terests in a more or less-rather less
than more on the average pronounced
way; opening with caution to the
General Assembly to go slow and clos
ing with denunciation Of the Force
bill and an admonition to the Legisla-
ture to join with the executive in ''pro-
testing against the passage of law so
obviously unconstitutional and so in
imical 10 the liberties of the people,"
Well, indeed, does the Governor say
that mo measure more opposed to the
plain intendment of the constitution or
more hostile to the liberties of the people
was ever proposed in free country
and it is not hard to see that lie feels
himself handicapped by the internal
partisanship and the rule-or-ruin
aggressiveness of this Hoar-D ayen-
port scheme when he alludes to
matters connected with the better

and the uprooting of the debauchery Of
the franchise by imported Doodle; that

WANAMAKER'S
MODERN METHODS In MERCHANDISE,

THE LARGE IDEA in
our offerings of merchandise
at this period Of the year is to
turn to account the conditions
which under old notions made
the Mid-Winter dull. Our
modern methods admit no
idleness, tolerate no inaction
Ceaseless activity is reason,
able, essential from all points,
ethical, economic, humani.
tartan. Good for all con-
cerned. We might have more
to say about that were this
not an advertisement.
When demand slackens
good bargains come, holders
want to sell. 1t is a Mid
Winter chance. We improve
it for you. Hence the great
income and outgo Of goods at
prices you never used to dream
of, much less see. The grea.
Illustration of this you may
observe here daily in the sales
Of the White Fair-Muslin
Underwear, Linens and White
Goods.
Other examples will fall into
line to-day-Silks, Flannels,
Dress Goods. and the sameg
will be true all day and every
day all through January.
Important but merely Incl
dental is the stock review
which comes with the New
Year. Any stuffs or things Of
lingering propensities are then
invited out. We speed the
parting with such winning
prices that you are charmed,
as you ought to be, and make
friends of the Bargains. And
SO there are Wraps and
Jackets, certain kinds of mems
Overshoes, House Furnishing
things, and many other items
that mean money out for us
but in for you.
The id-Winter period isa
time Of social activity, but
otherwise domestic quiet, ard. :,
the practical sense of wise
women is more and more dis
posed to improve this time
with preparation for the Spring
and Summer. Here comes
our Modern Method. The
old-time merchant, and he is
not extinct, hides away his
new stuffs until February and
March, meanwhile pushes or
tries to push his old goods off
upon you through all the
Winter season. The result is
is indifference for you, stagna-
ton for him. Our Modern
Method says clean up the stock
with the passing season and
go into each new season with
all things fresh.
The Modern Method also
says meet the peoples wishes
anticipate them. And SO
we do, and that's the reason
you may see here this morn r.
ing rich and great array of
the newest things in India
Silks, a great showing Of Ham
burg Embroideries in harmony
with the great movement in
Linens and Muslin Under
wear. The bright light Of the
store, the beautiful display on
the counters is far better than
the darkness and obscurity OF
the Custom House for the
harbingers Of Spring.
This is the outline of our
Merchandise program for Jan
uary. 1t has in it the winning
elements.
Quantities of goods, great
and worthy, in every offering.
Bargains with the rich
flavor of real cheapness, true
economy.
Novelties in stuffs for Dress
and Household that will enter
tain and surprise you in
advance Of the coming season.
Present events are the Linen
and Muslin UndersOear, WraDs
md Jackets. Their attractions
require slight repetition.
Coming eUents are great bar
y0ins IN Dress Goods, China

The Camplor Tree.

The camphor tree is attracting general
attention as one that can be grown for
profit, or ornament ard shade. 1t is one
of the most beautiful of the shade trees,
is very hardy, standing temperature OF
twenty F., and it is rapid grower,
forming plants eighteen to twenty-six
inches fro n the seed the first season. 1t
has done well in Florida and. California.
AT present the great advance in the cost
of camphor is creating more interest In
its production. The demand for it to
use in the manufacture of smokeless ex-
plosives is one cause for the sharp in-
crease in price. The tree grows to be
fifty feet in height. 1t does we'll in q
climate like that of Yuma and in soil
like that of the valley west of town. The
Agricultural Department at Washington
will have large number of plants for
distribution next spring. Why not plant

Strange Prehistoric Skeletons.

A discovery which will probably provo

been made ut the little hamlet of Slnaloa,
Mexico, within tho past few days, while

apes or of prehistoric human beings of u
very low order. If the rcmaius arc of

arc of men, the men were provided with
distinct caudcl appendages, very thick
and short, and curlcd up like n squirrels.
That they IRE tho skeletons of apes can
hardly be doubted, judging from tho
arms, which reach nearly huff u foo. be-
low the knee, and the thumbs, which AFRO

exceedingly sharp and-powerful nails.
Tho feet too, show that they were. in

the fact that several OF the skeletons were

Idiots Can Sinr.

Esquirol called attention to the fact
that IDIOTS without the power OF speech
could sing. DIR. Wildermuth, of Stet.
tin, compared $50 idiotic children with
eighty normal children in regard TO
vocal range, sense of harmony and mem
DRY for melody, and twenty seven per
cent. of the idiots and sixty per cent. of
the normal children were Chased as
musical in the highest degree. Eleven
per cent. of the idiots and two per cent.
of the normal children were without
musical ability. This remarkable rcla
tive development of the musical sense in
idiots, says the Pedagogical Seminary,
is the more striking as there is no evil
dence of any artistic taste. The practi-
cal outcome of Wildermuth's obserya-
tions is to emphasize the necessity OF
vocal culture in the traiuing OF idiots =

Three Miles Underground.

Colonel Rufus Heptheronc is proml.
nent ranchman of Martin County, Texas,
and was recently the hero of an adventure
rivaling the extravayanzas of Jules Verne
and Haggari, but which is vouched for
by several other well-known reliable
gentlemen. Colonel Hcptherone In COM
pany with three, was endcavoring to ford
n small stream Of the class known MS lost
rivers, rs it loses itself in the Garth after
n run of fcw miles. This stream, which
is known as Pilgrims Friend, is very
rapid, running downward with great
speed, and is at all times considered
dangerous to cross, but being in haste
Heptherone and his party resolved to try
it.
The former gentleman led the way,
and had only proceeded a few feet when
his horse was caught in the current and
borne away before the Others could lend
any assistance. Hepthcronc soon lost hi,
hold on the animal, and gave himself up
for lost on approaching the siukholc,
through which the stream loses itself.
He made an attempt to catch at the earth
as he went under, but, carried by tho

point, and knew no more until he found
himself in the hands of couple of
negroes, who were cndeavoring to restore
him to consciousness.
These stated that they had been fishing
in a small lake knownas Johnson's pond,
when they saw the body of man rise
suddenly to the surface of the water,
and, putting out in their boat, rescued
tho Colonel, whom it proved to be, though
nearly capsized by the volume OF water
that seemed to burst at this point from
the bottom of the pond. The spot where
the Pilgrims Friend loses itself is over
three miles from the lake, with which it
has no visible connection, and there can
scarcely be q doubt Of Colonel Hepthcrone
having made this incredible journey

Choked by a Cows Tail.

a. peculiar and fatal accident occurred
the other morning to the seven year-old
son of Mr.. Tramal Carter, who lives four
miles north of Louisville. The little
fellow was in the habit of driving the
COWS to pasture every morning, and this
morning, after he had eaten his break
fost, he started off with his COWS as
usual. About an hour later member Of
the family went in search of him, and
was Mortified to sec q COW dragging the
almost lifcless body over the field. The
boy had tied the cows tail around his
neck, and the COW, agentle one, had be-
come frightened and ran off, dragging
the little fellow with her. The little fell
low was released only by cutting the
cows tail, and was barely alive Cou.
