vention here. Besides the day was bright,
and in pleasing contrast to the drilling
rainy day that was the most frequently
remarked feature Of the visit two years ago
Of President Harrison, Mr.. Wsnamaker

As usual some one started the story that
Seattle delegation was trying to prevent
the expected visitor from coming to this
city. On this occasion it was said that the
Seattle delegation met Mr.. Wanamaker
here and tried hard to induce him not to
visit Tacoma. Later the committee in
charge Of tho reception denounced the
statement that the Seattle committee had
made any attempt whatever to keep Mr..
WAnamaker away.

MADE SICK BIZ MUssELs.
How Bivalve Delicacy Affected Can
McAlpine.


A mess of mussels very nearly killed
Capt. A. G. McAlpine, of the ireboat sno-
qualmie. a few nights ago.
He ate a plateful at a restaurant, and
they made him sick. Being an apothecary
himself. he went into drug store and took
an emetc which partially relieved him.
He then got in a cab and was driven to his
room at the Arlington hotel Here he
grew worse, and DIR. Raymond was called.
The captains entire body was covered
with q rash, whose itch was torturiug. In
the midst Of his suffering, what with the
retching and the irritation, his heart began
to fail and he was threatened with total
collapse. This Was averted, however, by
hypodermic injections and it was not
until morning that the physician was able
to leave him.
The case is remarkable, because no one
else was made i'll by the bivalves, and the
emetio was taken only few minutes after
they had been swallowed. DR.. RAYMOND
said that one of the mussels might have
been spoiled, producing an alkaloid called
technically ptomaiane. OR it might have
been merely an idiosyncrasy. 'Some peo-
pie can never eat shellhsh," said he.
without becoming deaihly sick"

The hundreds of patrons of tho
Big Store daily re-echo the
praise given by John Wana.
maker. They go even further
and say that the Big Store is
the best trading place upon
the Pacific Coast. They judge
from actual experience and
from the magnificent stocks Of
good that we have to show
them this season.
If you have not made a visit
to the store this season do SO
at once. Every department is
complete with the latest and
newest styles of the season
and the prices upon the same
are the lowest that have ever
been known in this city.
