Arrival OF tho Presidential Party at the
Capital.

Arrival OF the Presidential Party at the
Capital.
WAsH1NaToN, May 15.--'Ths presidential
train arrived this evening at $50 exactly on
schedule time. Before the train reached
the city the president summoned to tho
observation car every person who had ac-
compsnied him on the trip, including all
railroad employees about the train. and
made a short address. He said he found
that he had made 1873 speeches since leaving
Washington, April IA, and thought this Was
good time to make the number 4 roun d
lao. He referred TO the unprecedented o.
cellence and perfection Of the railroad
service throughout the entire trip,
and said the fact that they had
been able to travel over 10000
miles of territory in q splendidly equipped
train without accident or mishap, or one
minutes variation from the prearranged
schedule, must always be regarded aG q
most remarkable achievement. He re-
turned thanks, individually, to every per-
son who had rendered service on the train
and gave all the employees substantial
token of his appreciation. The postmaster
general, secretary of agriculture and other
gentlemen of the party also remembered
the employees. The arrival in Washington
was unmarked by any denomination boz
yond ths presence at the station of small
knots of officials and several hundred
travellers. The presidents grandchildren
were at the station and his first greeting
WAS to them. The president and family
quickly went to the White house.

What Shall We Buy?

Why, boys clothing, of course,
and if you haven't boys of your
own, present them to your more
fortunate neighbor. They're so
cheap-you will smile when you
hear the prizes. Our Mr.. Ben
Harris, on his recent eastern
visit, bought lot of goods from
a manufacturer who is retiring
from the trade, at far below the
cost Of production, and we will
to-day sell these goods to our
friends and patrons at prices less
than those at which any dealer in
Helena owns them. Prices sim
ply ridiculous. We do not make
the claim to be as low, but we
claim to UNDERsELL any dealer
in Helena. We have line of
Children's Suits from $3.50 to So
that we claim no dealer will offer
you within so per cent. of the
prices we name.
You can form no idea of their
merit unless you see them, and if
won't come to see them you will
miss the greatest set of bargains
ever offered in Helena.

Where Will We Buy?

1t is not such an easy matter to
decide, when one considers there
are upwards of a dozen stocks OF
clothing in Helena, and the un-
wary, or the customer not posted,
isss liable to drop into store
where their neighbor can buy
much cheaper, because they
question the price. All will agree
that a business house that would
sell you suit for $40 after an
effort to get SIS would rob you
of $5if you cid not ward them
off in stating these facts. We
appeal to the public: (which
most deserves your patronage,

which would rob you if you

She Drops Into Acapulco, but Is Ordered
to Clear Out.
CRY OF MEXICO, May ia dispatch re-
ceived last night from Acapulco says that
the Chilian cruiser Esmeralda entered the
port yesterday and sailed again to-day.
Several of her officers came ashore and
used the wires and made several inquiries
regarding the action of the United
States. showing they were informed
that the cruiser Charleston had been
sent in pursuit of the Itata. It is be-
lieved she steamed north to intercept the
Itata and protect her should the Charleston
attempt to capture her. Officers who came
ashore were very reticent. but from one of
the sailors it was learned they expected to
sight the Itata and act as her consort down
the coast. The Esmeralda has numerous
crew, and in appearance they are veterans
and will fight. The above dispatch is con-
frmed at the war department., but officers
are inclined to be retioent. A prominent
official said the cruiser was warned not to
remain in port as Mexico WAS not harborlng
insurgent vessels and did not recognize
her.
