 Springfield, April, 1899.
 The present promise is for a bright Easter. And this means many needed things to everybody that marks the glad time by some special attention to dress. Why tell of details when you know the unspoken thought of your wants is echoed here; or, better per- haps, your wish is the echo of what you already know is here.
 Inconsistent! Yes, we are, and here are a few details that we must print, and you-well, ought to read.
 To describe the beautiful jackets and capes that are coming in every day now would require endless space and an inspired pen. The best advice we can give you is to come and see for your selves, and then you will see what a difficult, yet pleasant, task it is. We are right in sending our buyer to New York every week, it seems. Can't tell why; don't know why; per haps there isn't any why. But we are picking up some of the prettiest garments. Second floor, Vernon street side.
 We have just received a shipment of our famous French mousquetaire Suedes, the third this spring.
 Somehow we never have any fear lest a better glove should be put out against this make; and by better is meant a glove that a committee of ladies would pronounce su. perior.
 Its price is fair; $1.75. | often seems high to people Ewho believe shop tales with out discrimination. It is no high; it cannot be low. South store.
 Easter millinery. We car sell without limit. As te making, there is a limit. Ou1 work rooms are full of mak !, CTS, but twice the force won be large enough the last of this week. Come quickly there is no time to spare. Second floor; take car from left aisle. The array of colored vel vets here is something extra ordinary. We have actuall, 58 colors of IS inch at $1.OO. | 32 colors Of IS inch at $1.25. 72 colors of 19 inch at 50.
 2S colors of 19 inch at $2.00.

The Worlds Fair at Chicago got frs

The Worlds Fair at Chicago got first rate notice from MT. Chauncey M. Depew, president of the New York Central and Hudson River Rail1oad, who returned re- gently with other officials from an inspec- tionssofs fsthe Vanderbilt lines between New E York and Chicago. He said:
 .asNhile in Chicago we spent several hours making personal and careful ex- animation of the present condition of the Worlds Fair buildings and the prospects. To say that we were all astonished is to use very mild word. The country has no idea of the character and extent of the work already completed and projected. believe that the space to be covered | is three times as large as that contained in the Paris exposition. The work upon the lake front has already progressed far enoughto to see what it is to be. It is diff | ficult to imagine anything more effective than the entrance from Lake Michigan. On either side of the grand canal the beach has been paved down to the waters edge, and on the surface above a broad asphalt pavement will accommodate on the one side innumerable booths and cafes and summer gardens, while on the other side of the broad promenade will be the lake,

When examining a horse with view to purchasing, always have him led down a steep or stony descent at the end of 8 halter and with no whip near him. Many horses when brought out of the stable are excited by the presence of strangers, and become still more so at sight of a whip. A slight lameness may therefore be momentarily overlooked by the horse himself, just as man, under strong ex- citement, will sometimes forget sore foot. Leading horse down slope will show any defect in his forequarters, and running him back will develop any weak ness that may exist in his hind legs. Horse sharpers know these facts, and if the horse is in the least affected, they will generelly avoid hill when showing of horse to probable purchaser.
