There are manifest lossesl

For weeks after a sale
similar to this we had letters
from storekeepers of other
cities asking how we collected
such a stock.
We will answer such letters
now in advance, that we
supplied the money to small
manufacturers when they want
ed it during a period of several
dull months, and while they
compelled us to take immense
quantities at these prices we
dictated quality and finish.
No one can fail to see that
there is an indescribable some
thing, a refinement and deli
cateness about the Underwear
we present. We do not wish
to sell the ordinary makes of
of the wholesalers.
The white months are here,
butthesnowy drifts ofwhiteness
are, as yet, all in our galleries
and along the Main Aisle and
over to the east Of the Arcade
where the dainty Underwear
for Women and Chill ldren is
spread out.
This long-looked-forward to
Semi-Annual Sale is
the Sale of Sales
of this house.
Nothing we can say can
convey a true idea of the
MarveIs of Cheapness of
Women's Muslin Underwear.
We are ashamed of the low
ness of the prices!

ALBANY, Dec. 28--Judge Wallace affixed
his signature to an order taking the New
York and New England railroad out of the
managerial hands of President A. A. Nc
Leod and placing it in the care of ex-Sena-
tor y. G. Platt, one Of the roads directors
and stockholders. The appointment Of
the receiver was the result Of some quiet
work done by a committee appointed to
raise money wherewith to meet an inter-
est payment of $3.50 900 due on Jan. l. The
money could not be obtained, and as the
committee is made up of anti-McLeod men
they determined to thwart any attempt on
the part Of the president to be appointed
receiver
NEW HAVEN, Dec. 2s William X. Lor-
ing of Boston and Charles G. Perkins of
Hartford, counsel for the trustees of the
second mortgage bondholders of the New
York and New England road, called upon
Judge William Is. Townsend of the United
States court here and filed an application
for temporary receivership for the Con-
necticut interests. The attorneys stated
that the property of the road was in danger
of being attached in Connecticut, and TO
protect the bondholders a receiver was
asked for Judge Townsend appointed as
