Philadelphia clothes, was in Pottsville the
other day. She pretends to represent a
Philadelphia dry goods house and was

elite, two and a half dozen in number,
would be permitted to join this wonderful
society for the dissemination of cheap

Gates of stock. The lady with the benig-
nant smile drew the dollar before she left.
