The Fall Campaign on Dress Goods has now begun. You perhaps know what an invitation of that kind means here. To say that it's 8 large stock. says but little. But when we tell you that the va riety and exclusiveness of the stock is surprisingly large that means more. We might have told you something sim- liar before, yet it's meaning becomes more influential season after season. We say so because the growth of this department demonstrates the fact. You know that it is mere chance that we can't satisfy your wants in the Dress Goods line.

the female brain is smaller in proper
ton to the size of the body, and as the
specific gravity of gray matter is less in
the female brain than in the male
brain, therefore the woman should not
pursue her studies assiduously This
argument is not. however, of as serious
Importance as the grave charge brought
by Sir James against high schools for
girls ''Some of their methods are
capable Of leading to great evils. +"
He saw lately scene of graduates
from celebrated college. MANY of
them had STOPPING gait and withered
appearance, shrunk shanks and specta-

who is always sick. Put yourself in
the place of the woman who never

she is happy in God Almighty's sun

heart beating as if it were

her how little of life she had, and
how soon it would go. Think of waking

body else is having a good and merry
time, but that you are entirely out of it
all, not because you are i'll that day,
but because the doctor thinks you are
not quite well enough to risk it. Now
this is wretched enough when it comes
to woman who has had most of the
pleasures of life, but suppose it comes
to a girl of nineteen. Don't you sup

Interested in a gambling house which was
run without n license on the second floor of
the building On South Main street, next to
the corner of Broadway. The license of the
concern had run out at tho time Henry says
he was beaten out of his money, but the
propristors, finding out that there was
liable to be trouble over the matter, reme-
died that oversight. They renewed their
license. There were two other parties in
the scheme, it is charged. one of whom
Henry describes as q fine looking, gray
haired gentleman. who was kind enough.
after taking all his money, to give him
back enough to get something to cat.
Brown. however, was the only one 80 far
arrested. As it could not be shown that he
had any proprietary interest in the place,
the charge of running it without u license
was dismissed. Another charge was i'm
mediately made under the Hunt act, passed
in 1889, of inducing q man to play at a
game of chance with intent to deceive and
mislead. Brown gave bonds. This will be

MIR. whitaker's Statement.

In reply to the statements contained in
the Lindsay complaints, MIR. Whitaker states
the whole matter is untrue from start to
finish and is a fabrication without founda-
tion in fact, that he was sent to take charge
of the books and financial affairs Of the
Lindsay firm, and after remaining with the
firm about four months, by the most pains
taking and careful management. he reduced
the firms liabilities from $4,000 to $21, 600
and ~inaugurated a methodical system Of
collecting and discussing the funds, and
out of chaos brought order. That he held
the employees in check to such an extent
that it caused jealousy; that it apparently
was the aim and intent of certain interested
parties to injure him; this was particularly
the case at one time while he was laid up
from an injury and unable to give matters
his personal attention.
