COMPARISONS

The business of the past
week is a delightful retro
spect. The comparative
analysis of our sales is by
weeks and the comparison
of our weeks sales with
every corresponding week
in past years shows great
gains so large that we are
more than satisfied.
The result comes from
the vigOr with which we are
bringing to the public sea-
sonablc goods in most cx-
traordinary fashion. The
cheapness and the excel
lcnce is the marvel and the
power.

BATHING IN GREAT SALT LAKE.
Hundreds OF Women In the water ~
Garfield Beaoh.

OF course, you know that this inland
sea is salty, SAYS a Salt Lake corre-
spondenk Of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
but are you aware that 1t is seven
times saltier than the ocean? Why.
over one-ffth of the fluid is salt in So
luton. 1t doesn't look it. No water
was ever brighter in its blues and
greens, or more pcllucid TO look into.
But you find out there's something PEE
culiar about il when you go into it.
You float here like a cork. Eighteen
miles south OF Salt Lake is Garfield
beach and residents and travellers alike
60 there to float; you can't call it
swimming. The girls and women
make the spectacle. Here, rs else
where, men don't count for much when
it comes to sightliness. At Garfield
beach yesterday | saw hundreds of my
sex afloat. The more stylish of the
girls wore jaunty blue costumes, usu-
ally sleeveless. tho skirt reaching to
the knees, and blue stockings. A few
did without hosiery and barred their
pedal extremities from calf TO toe.
Now, when you GO into the surf ut
Newport or Long Branch the sub
merged part of you is invisible. The
spectator gets a view of your full
length only when you are on the sand.
AT Garfield beach it is different. The
water is clear as crystal, and the float
ing girls are quite as much in evidence
as though they were professional wa
ter queens in an illuminated tank.
The shallow water, undertake 10y sand,
is as clear as crystal. There is no
surf TO toss and tumble il Into foam.
Not SO much as a bubble on the sur
face obscures the floaters.
They lie lazily on their backs. sides.
or fronts, as though reclining in water
bammocks. Not the slightest motion
is requisite TO keep from sinking.
They can't sink IL they try. All they
have to do Is to keep their heads up SO
as not to get tho water in their mouths,
for IL is strangling with its salt, though
very agreeable to the skin. So you
sec them couchcd in water, lolling
luxuriously, chatting with their COM
panions, padding slowly about, and
occasionally skylarking.
B.tindolent enjoyment seems to be

and nothing moro utterly abandoned
to ~pleasurable inertia can be imagined
than yesterdays scene at Garfield
beach. don't mean to say that the
girls went SO far as TO forget them-
selves In their watery siesta. There

Somewhat Annoyed at an Honor Tammany

New YORK, Nov. 4.-Ex-Secretary
VIM. c. Whitney has discovered a few
days ago that his name had been placed
on the democratic ticket as a de iegate
to the convention which Is Il revise the
state constitution. Mr.. Whitney was
nominated by the recent Tammany con-
vention without his knowledge and was
greatly surprised when he learned OF
the honor which had been conferred
upon him. He had refused the nomi-
ton a week before the convention was
called TO nominate delegates. giving as
his reasons that the duties of q father
weighed heavily upon him because of
the death of his wife and that his bust
ness interests were such as to prevent
him from serving the state properly.
Mr.. Whitney is not particularly pleased,
therefore, at the knowledge that in
spite of his protestations he has been
nominated for SO important a place.
1t is too late now I o withdraw and
the only remedy he has Is to resign, if
elected, which he surely will do. This
will entail q new election and great ex.

WHAT DID,
Resume Of the Work Done In the Extra
ordinary Session of Congress.

Resume Of the Work Done In the Extra.
ordinary Session of Congress.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-This session Of
the senate will DO long memorable fo
the contest over the bill providing for
the repeal of the silver purchasing
clause Of the Sherman act of 1890. The
extraordinary session was called for the
purpose of accomplishing this repeal,
and the other work was merely in
cidental.
The Till of next greatest importance
to the repeal bill, which has passed
both houses of congress, is the bill ex-
tending the time in which Chinese la
borer5 can register under the Chinese
act, known as the Geary law.
OF the /, l52 bills which have been in
troduced during the session, only
three have become laws. One is in aid
Of the mid winter exposition to be heldin
San Francisco, another grants certain
settlers in Oklahoma Territory the right
TO commute their homestead entries and
the third relates to clerks in the Office Of
the commissioners in the District of
Columbia.
Tie following old bills have passed.:
Granting to California ) per cent of the
net proceeds of the cash sales of public
lands in that state.
To extend the time for making final
payments on entries under the desert
land act.
Authorizing certain Cherokee allottees
or claimants to purchase certain tracts
held and claimed by them.
To donate TO the county of Laramie,
Wyoming, certain bridges on the aban-
donea Fort Laramie military rcserva-
ton.
To grant the right Of way to the Kan
sas, Okihoma Central and Southwestern
Railroad company through Oklahoma
and the Indian Territory.
To aid the states of California, Ore
gon, Washington, Montana, Idaho, Ne
vada. Wyoming, Colorado and South
Dakota to support schools Of mines.
Probably the most important Till upon
the senate calendar is that Of the repeal
of the federal election laws. A similar
bill has passed the house. Senator Voor-
hees has a bill concerning national bank
note circulation. Mr.. Morgan's resolu-
tion for a joint committee of the two
houses to consider questions of finance
has a place on the calendar, as has Mr..
Stewards resolution concerning the co.
ordinate branches of the government,
also Mr.. PETERS relating to interstate
commerce. Senator Palmer's bill, con.
corning invalid pensions paid to non-resi-
dents, is i'll shape for consideration at
any time,

BURGLARY, MURDER AND FIRE
a Burglar Gets Six Bullets in His Body.
Woman Cremated.

CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-Burglary followed
by a fire of probable incendiary origin
at Frank B. Wheeler's house at Will
mette,' a suburb of this city, early Sat
urday, resulted in two deaths. The
dead are: An unknown burglar, shot
fix times by Mr.. Wheeler: Mrs. Cross,
mother in law of Mrs. Wheeler, injured
about the head and burned to death.
About 1880 o'clock this morning Mr..
Wheeler val awakened by strange
noises in the house. Taking his re.
volver he proceeded to investigate. Az
he approached Mrs. Cross door at the
end Of the hall a man appeared in the
entrance and seeing Mr.. Wheeler made
a dash for the stairs. Mr..
Wheeler fred six shots at the
retreating burglar, all of them taking
effect. When the burglar reached the
hall he fell at the feet of a comrade.
The latter, frightened at his comrades
fate, fled pursued by Mr.. Wheeler. The
escaping marauder started across the
prairie after leaving the house and wa,
soon lost sight of in the dark
ness. When Mr.. Wheeler re
turned TO his house he
found the upper portion in flames
Efforts were made to reach Mrs. Cross
room, but the fire was burning so
fiercely that it was found impossible to
do anything to ave her. Shortly after
wards the flames were extinguished by
the Evanston fire department and Mrs
Cross's burned and lifeless body wa.
carried out.
Mrs. Cross had been the first TO en-.
counter the burglars and their opera.
tons had been confined chiefly to Ies
room. She had been assaulted and the
noise had awakened Mr.. Wheeler. lie
thinks the room vas fired TO cover the
trace of the assault or that a lamp had
been overturned in the ARRAY. The
wounded burglar was dragged out of the
house while the fire was burning and
died while being taken to Evanston,
No definite clue to his identity has
been discovered and a description OF
his comrade is lacking.
