New goods, all of the finest

Not a penny of avoidable
cost has been pinned to them
anywhere from the grass fields

the very low prices.
That is why we are doing so
large part Of the Mating

to us by chance. Not only
did we say how most of them
should be made, but sharp
eyes and quick wits, faithful tc

were so made.

CHRISTIAN BROTHERHOOD SUNDAY.
Something About tho Man Who Founded
the brotherhood of Christian Unity.
Special correspondence


NEWARK, n. J., Oct. 25.-The widespread
notice of the observance of christian
Brotherhood Sunday" on Oct. 30 makes
timely the story of n visit to the man who
is the founder of the great movement of
the Brotherhood of Christian Unity" Mr..
Theodore L. Seward, of East Orange, n. j.
He tells the story of it's begnnng-a little
over year ago:
"At n union church meeting in Orange
l made the suggestion of brotherhood of
Christian unity which should leave I'M
touched the differences of creed in denom-
nations and give u broader platform of love
to God and man under the leadership of
Christ, upon which all could unite for
practical Christian work. 1t met with inn
mediate response from all classes of ear
nest people in and out of churches. The
success almost overwhelmed me; it was
more than / had expected in so short
time. We soon had to have an Office in
New York, and letters of inquiry and ap-
prevail and membership pledges came
pouring in. 1t is one of the most rapid
growths ever known"
John G. Whittier, on hearing of the
movement, wrote rs follows:
DEAR FRIEND-For years have been desir-
Gus of n movement for uniting all Christians
with no other creed or pledge than simple
recognition OF Christ as our leader. | have
read thy published articles on the subject with
hearty approval and sympathy.
Mr.. Whittier joined the brotherhood, and
became member of its advisory commit
tee only short time before his death.
The pledge reads:
hereby agree to accept the creed promul-
gated by the Founder of Christianity-lOve 10
God and love TO man-as the rule of my life |
also agree to recognize us fellow Christians
and members of the Brotherhood of Christian
Unity all who accept this creed and Jesus
Christ their leader
join this brotherhood with the hone that
such n voluptary association and fellowship
with Christians of every faith will decpen nv
| spiritual life and bring me into more helpful
relations with my fellow men.

The stock market was much less active

less important than usual OF late, the

lower during the afternoon with, how
over, partial recovery at the close. Dis

announcement Of the deaf will be made
within few days. On this news III

OPEN FOR BUSINESS.
Passenger and Freight Traffic Over the
Ohio Extension.


The Ohio extension Of the Norfolk
and Western railroad Is now open for
freight and passenger traffic. The trains
are running regularly and the new road
is starting off smoothly. Several car
loads of fire brick from Irontou, Ohio,
to the Elkhorn coke region were one OF
the first shipments over the new limo.
This part of the Norfolk and Western
is part of the western division, going
under the supervision of General Super
intendent A. G. Hippey yesterday. SUI
perintendent j. A. Robinson. with head.
quarters at Columbus, takes jurisdiction
over the Kanawha division to Seay, W.
Va. Superintendent Maher, of the
Clinch Valley division, has had his jur
isdiction extended over the Pocahontas
division to Seay. This arrangement,
however. may be only temporary and it
is probable that superintendents will be
appointed for these new divisions at the
beginning Of next year. The division
freight Office at Columb will be main
tanned.
The auditing force, which has been at
Columbus, is to be removed to this city.
Seven or eight of them are expected to
arrive to-day. There arc fifteen of them
in all, and some of them will be accom-
panied by their families. All of the
business, beginning November l, is re-
ported to the auditors otflc here, and a
part OF the force will remain at the
offices there to clean up the work to
that date.
President Kimball, accompanied by
Vice-President and General Manager
Sands, Chas. H. Mellon, assistant to the
president; Jos. l. Doran, general solicit
tor, and Directors Clark and Dull, went
to Norfolk yesterday. They will return
| to-day and go on a tour Of inspection
| over the new line.
