No, we are not out of the
Clothing businessl Yet we
are hardly in it as we used to
be-when we had a much
larger stock. Now the stock
is smaller, but choicer. There
are plenty of places to get or
dinary Clothing, but we do
not know of place to match
exactly what we offer.
We have a few Suits of a
kind and only the refined Gus
tom Tailorish kind-cut in the
latest and made up in the fin

If from this you get an idea
that our stock is small step off

higgins and the Press.

Senator Higgins, Of Delaware. showed
delightful freshness" in the remarks
about the press which he injected into
his speech on Friday.
A more exper enced statesman would
have knoHn better than to attempt TO
decry newspaper discussion in COM
parison with Senatorial debate as a
means OF public information and in
struction Indeed, II il were not for
the liberal spirit Of the newspapers, few
persons outside of Delaware would know
that there is Senator Higgins, and
much less what he thinks about the
silver question or any other matter Of
common concern.
lt.is entirely characteristic Of Senator'S
Of certain quality TO imagine only
country in the world where every man
IS absolutely free 10 do the best be can

Toe Wheel Of n Heavy Coal wagon Passes
over the Body of james Flanagan.
On Saturday afternoon, James Elan
nigan, the bright little son Of Mr.. Elan
nigan. manager of the Mutual Insurance
Company, of this city, narrowly escaped
death by being knocked down and run
over by a coal wagon opposite his home,
No II West Seventh street.
The father aud son were on the south
side of the street as the nurse came out
Of the house. On seeing her James went
to cross the street aud was run over by
the coal wagon
The driver did not see the boy until
the horses had struck him Then he
did all he could to stop the team, but
could not until the front wheel had
crossed the little fellows chest
He was taken to his home and
medical aid summoned Had the other
wheel crossed the boy there is no doubt
but that death would have resulted. A
call at his residence to-day at noon
ELECTED the fact that he is resting
quietly and not suffering much pain.

Artificial miniature auroras of the
borealis variety have been produced by
both De la Rive, the French savant, and
Lenstrom, the Swedish astronomer. In
Professor Lenstrom's experiments,
which were made in Finland, the peak Of
a high mountain was surrounded with a
coil Of wire, pointed at intervals with
tin nibs. The wire was then charged
with electricity, whereupon a brilliant
aurora appeared above the mountain, in

crow ded The pastor, Rev. w. l. 5
Murray, read the rules of the church, an
annual custom. He preached a short
sermon upon the duty members owe TO
their church and their God. At the
close Of the sermon .probationers,
who had been on trial for the last six
months, were called to the chancel and
after taking the VOWS of the church,
were received into full connection. Out
of the forty probationers thirty-six

mostly young people, ranging in age
from - to 25 years. 1t was one of the

In the afternoon a reunion Of the Sun

young to build such character as would
make them something in the world
In his discourse he referred to Presi-
dent Cleveland as being an earnest and
determined man, not fearing to speak OF
act his own convictions. He said, that
perhaps the Presidents own friends
might not think him so great man, yet
his enemies had to own that he was 6
man of earnestness, chopping chips from
the block and not caring where they
might fall.
He also referred to the money kingl
who had died and left records of fraud

ELEVEN new cases Of yellow fever
were reported at Brunswick, Georgia,
yesterday. and the disease has been de-
clared epidemic. Governor Northen
has issued an appeal for assistance for
the destitute and suffering people Of
Brunswick, and asks that money and
provisions be forwarded to the mayor
OF that city. Medical experts and a
corps of trained nurses have been or
dered to Brunswick by the Hospital
Marine Service, and a camp will be
opened outside the city to-day. 1t is not
uncharitable to remind those officials
who have failed and who are fail
ing now TO do their duty,
that this calamity is consequence.
After proper sanitary measures no epl-
demic can attack community. 1t may
attack families and those who are in
personal contact with the plague, but it
cannot proceed from block 60 block un-
less the city and separate premises are
in such a condition as to invite It. The
winter frosts will retard any epidemic,
but they will not prevent It's approach
the next summer. They may, in fact
preserve the germs intact so that they
will be even more virulent when they
are released by the heat It is, therefore
criminal not to keep every premise in I
wholesome sanitary condition all th'
time.

IT Is not cteditable to the silver cause
that Senator PETER is leading the forces
to delay the repeal bill None Of the lead
ers the silver cause has had has been cred.

more disereditable even, than Stewart

Kansas freak, was a resolution instruct

necessary to prevent the interruptions
of inter state traffic by lawless persons,

and murder committed on inter state
railway trains. Considering the state Of
the country and the necessity for the re
peal Of the law to mulet the people Of
$50, 000 900 a year to buy silver,
this is an insult; PETER himself
Is an insult to intelligence Of
the country. But we cannot expect
to change the current Of the political
thought and energy Of the last fifteen
years in two months session of
Congress. The House Of Representatives
was changed only after giving the Demo
Gratis an overwhelming majority. The
Senate is still dominated by the Republi-
can tesehings that Congress is RESPONSE
