II it is really fact that Van Aliens
only recommendation for the post Of
ambassador TO Italy lies in the fact that
he is rich and that he subscribed $4,000,
or any other sum, TO the campaign fund,
his nomination ought TO be withdrawn
by the President or opposed by the Sem
ate. Il is the merit Of the present adj
ministration that IL departs, as radically
as possible, from the record and the in
huence Of the previous administration.
Il was notorious that Cabinet position
came TO collection Of $3.50. 1000, that
Millionaire Astor went 20 Italy; that
editors galore who had proved useful, or
who needed rest were sent abroad. There
were defenses and apologies in each case,
but the fact remains that Mr.. Harrison's
administration was and is scandalized by
the number OF editors who were
either rewarded or bought off. The
charges have been made against rich
Van Allen, and whether they are the re-
suit of Pulitzer's envy and malice or the
ordinary low comedy politics Of the
Republican press (of the baser type only,
such as attacked Mr. Bayard), they de
serve President Cleveland's attention
We have no doubt he will give them bis
attention. He is not a man to submit
TO bargain made for him without his
knowledge or consent He will with
draw the nomination If the charges
prove true. Mr. Cleveland is not willing
to submit to the dictation Mr. Harrison
endured he is less willing TO incur Thu
scandals which marred Mr.. Harrison'
administration.

wANAmAKER's.
Philadelphia, Monday, September p, 1898.
The weather to-day is likely
to be cloudy.

Answering the inquiry-our
store covers nearly double the
acreage of the new Chicago
store, that is if correctly stated,
about nine acres" The Phil
adelphia big store has now
within a fraction of 10 acres
floor space.
One such store as this or
any other like enterprise, en-
ploying many people and at
tracing thousands from the
surrounding country, cannot
go on without benehtting the
entire city The stir and
stimulus reaches out in every
direction.
AS one business goes on
growing and improving so do
others. Scarcely a thing that
we have done in II years
Dry Goodsing by way of max
ing conveniences and advan-
tages for customers, but has
been copied in every city in
the Union.
And now we have to keep
on the alert lest we may not be
ahead.
Philadelphia is splendidly
equipped to-day with fine re-
tail Dry Goods stores, and
there is no longer need to 90
shopping to other cities fo1
fine assortments. But then
who ever washes a donkey's
head wastes his soap.
Thousands of dollars daily
leave us for the Custom House
till to get Uncle Sam to let 90
of our foreign goods, and for
a few weeks immense cases
will be emptied every hour
into overlooking salesrooms.

located the subjects arms, sewed bis
lips together, and thrust hat pins through
his neck, ears, cheeks and arms Not q
drop of blood was shed. He followed
this up by placing bottle OF concen-
trated ammonia TO the. subjects nose
keeping it there for several minutes.
Next he laid the man on two chairs
the head resting on one and the feet OF
the other The body was so rigid that
three men, whose combined weight wal
| 525 pounds. could stand on the parts o
the body which had no support.

Long Standing, with Bare KnuoISles on

There are two residents Of Wilmington
who have had hard feelings toward
each other for some time past On
Saturday evening they, in company with
three others took Il walk over Market
street bridge and after going a short
distance q wordy encounter ensued
which led to the party going a short
distance off the road. Both men di-
vested themselves of both coat and
vest and each went at the other with all
his might.
One Of the men weighs $50 pounds and
the other twenty pounds less. II was a
regular smuggling match and lasted for
sixteen minutes when the big fellow
whispered to the referee I've got
'nough.
Both men presented sad appearance
when the fight was over and were
thoroughly exhausted There shirts
were covered with blood from the vari-
ious cuts which now adorn their faces.
The referee had the misfortune to fall
into the ditch along side of the ring and
ruined his pair of new trousers.
