Some years ago the brilliant but
unprosperous John SwintOn said in
his New York paper that the early
part of the twentieth century would
see Millionaire in the United States
a person with a thousand millions of
money. There is an Astor baby in
New York who is the only heir to
one hundred and fifty millions. The
possessions of the Vanderbilt family
amount TO two hundred and fifty mill
ions, and if they increase as rapidly as
since the Commodore died, not many
years will be needed for a billion.
When such people travel, they have
trains of superb private cars. But
you do not need 60 be Millionaire, or
even millionaire, to ride in the

GOOD LOGIC"

The conversation substantially took
place at a tea party on the Avenue, in
fashionable neighborhood, last week be-
tween two ladies. We will call one Mrs.
Fairdressed and the other Mrs. Well
dressed.
Mrs. F. remarked to Mrs. w.
"Where did you get that handsome
black all silk satin dress? 1t is as nice
as any l have ever seen.
Mrs. w. answered.
81 got it entirely by accident and you
would hardly guess where l purchased
it, just four years ago, had occasion
to get some Livery Buttons; l inquired
at all the large stores and failed to get
what | wanted. | was directed to a
store in Smith Street, between State and
Schermerhorn Streets, (Saengerbund
buildingj, and got the buttons l required.
L saw an enormous stock of all kinds of
buttons and made quite little purchase.
Perhaps being rather inquisitive, L in
quired: What goods are those done up
in those papers? They We're shown me
and found this elegant black satin of
which this dress is made. found it of
a better quality than any have seen in
any of the large stores; not but what
they may keep them, but | think not.
have had this made over twice to con-
form with the fashion and it is quite as
good as new yet"
s'Surely think it is Mrs. w, but why
don't the large stores keep such goods?
"Why, because they don't pay big
enough profit and are too expensive.
suppose they can make more money on
a cheaper class of goods. You know
their expenses must be enormous. Only
think of paying Fifty Thousand Dollars
a year rent and the number of clerks
employed, their big advertising, etc, all
to come out of a retail business in Brook
lvn. 1t is only common sense to know
that the Smith Street store could sell
goods much cheaper; that is, if you
would find what suited. Besides, as l
understand, these goods are intended
for gentlemen's coat Innings and are bet
ter made, better material and heavier
than we ladies usually buy. have also
purchased dress Innings, waist Innings
and the best silk thread l ever used and
some black farmers satin for mother,
dress of which wore elegantly. You
know. Mrs. +. it costs as much to make
up poor trashy goods as it does the best
which always comes cheapest in the
end"
Mrs. w, does that store send home
your purchases!
s'No / think not; all have ever pur-
chased, nave taken nome Win me III
my carriage. 1t saves the store bis
expense"
You are quite right Mrs. w. How
about their reliability?
''They are perfectly reliable; at least
have been so impressed that ] have
made what purchases could there for
the past four years and have always
been perfectly satisfied"
Mrs. Clinton announces ''tea is now
ready"
Now, Mrs. w, you did not give me
the name and number"
Il will, for it is positive benefit for
you to make your purchases there. The
address is: John f. Davies, 81 Smith
Street"

Gerrymander No. 2.

1t seems impossible for the Demo-
cratic bosses of this state either to
obey the laws or act with reasonable
fairness. While the last act of appor-
tionment is better in many respects
than the first and less open to the
objections urged hitherto il comes
very far from meeting the require
ments of the constitution or of treat
ing the Republicans fairly and equita-
bly,. Every effort was made TO retain
in power the hold.over senators who
were Democrats and to overthrow
those who are Republicans. So sue.
cessful were they in this that they
need to elect but two to control the
senate thus retaining almost in en-
tirety the whole number of Demo
cratic senators elected two years ago
while legislating out of Office those
who were Republicans. The near APP
proach of election and the evils that
would result from delay will probably
prevent another appeal to the courts
by the Republican leaders although
there would seem TO be ample cause
TO demand redress. Nothing shows
more clearly the unpatriotic nature of
partisan zeal than this. When we see
such acts in our own state perpetrated
by those who are almost our neighbors
we cannot wonder at the acts of seces-
sion in 1851, and we feel like trembling
lest some time partisan feeling may so
far overcome patriotic love as to again
involve our country in contest if not
one of blood at least of bitter acri-
mony. The man who can vote for
Peck at this time proves himself too
bitter partisan to be able to conceive
what is just.
