They are suits belonging to lots which
have run somewhat low, and We have
thought it advisable, in order to pre-
vent accumulation, to get nd of them at
once-and We mean to do it. SIS. 70 will
do the work of moving them out-and
quickly, too.
Remember, every Suit we offer is made
by US-made well, trimmed well, and as
perfect fitting as garments made specially
to order. Every one Of them NEW, de-
sirable, and perfect in every detail.
We don't have to buy somebody's old,
shop-worn, brushed-up stock in order to
sell cheap. We don't have to look up
some northern manufacturer who is in
tight place and buy out his leftover
refuse stock at our own price in order
TO boom up business. We don't have to
mark our clothes at two or three times
their value in order TO be able to run
them off at 30, 40, or 30 cents on the
dolIar-not bit OF it. That's not OUR
STYLE. We can sell CLOTHING without
resorting to these methods-and We can
(being msnufacturers) and do sell our
Meritorious Clothing as low as that in
ferior stuff Offered at these so-called
bankrupt sales) is sold for.
We have everywhere won the admira-
ton and confidence of people by our
honest, straightforward, and open meth
ods-by our SUPERIOR CLOTHING
and by our LOW PRICES.
If you need a suit, it would pay you
10 look at those we are selling at 81. 70
this week. You'll find moro than one
to please you.
We have made big reductions in the
better grades of Suits. in all grades Of
Oyercoats, and in Our Children's Suits
and Overcoats.

4 BIG IDEA
is worth considering. Ideas rule the
world. They are also the source of pro-
fits. The most profitable idea that can
be conceived just now in Virginia is to
make q purchase from our stock OF
Clothing. That's an idea that has solid
reality about it. and that can have but
one result, a substantial saving for the
buyer. You buy savings, so to speak.
when you buy our Clothes. That makes
the public bank on our stock. You must
buy judiciously to save. You save most
by buying our goods.

AT the sale of the art collection of the
late Nine. Denain. once famous actress
of the Theatre Francois, II comparison of
prices with those obtained at the auction
of the Didier collection in 1868, from
which most of the paintings, etc.,
brought to the hammer were derived, is
most instructive as showing the wonder
full variations in the value attached to
masterpieces of art. Thus 1.-The Four
Seasons" Prudhon) brought $4,000
francs, against $4,000 francs in 1861 a
portrait of Nine. de Sombreval and of
her son (Nattier), 40,700 francs, against
5000 francs; a portrait of Rembrandt (by
himself), 10000 francs, against 1000
francs; The Rainbow" 9Th. Rousseau,
II 500 francs, against 4,700 francs; "a
Riverside View Bonington), 1850
francs, against 4 200 francs; 1.-The Recon-
Citation" (Fragonard), 1920 francs,
against 1,450 francs; portrait of Mile.
$500 francs; portrait of Monk Con-
fessor (Rubens), 1880 francs, against
1000 francs: "A Forest Landscape"
Diaz), $500 francs, against 5000 francs.
On the other hand, few works by
Prudhon and Decamps We're knocked
down at prices far below those obtained
in 1868, and a portrait of girl by We
lasquez, presumably his daughter, was
sold for 10000 francs. against 1900
francs at the Didier sale.-London Tele

DIVORCE IN eURMAH.
An Original and Exhaustive Method of
Settling Family Troubles.

Settling Family Troubles.
In Burmah, as in civilized Europe,
suspicion often disturbs the family circle,
but instead OF filling lawyers pockets
and giving society papers highly spiced
paragraphs the following effectual mode
of divorce procedure is adopted: The
family rels ives ON both sides are called
Uneven distant cousins living long
way olf-Gnd many are lifelong journeys
made i'll jolting bullock carts, and many
the animated discussions by the cigar
puil x circle of relatives squatted cere-
moniously on the bamboo matted floors.
If an amcable settlement can be OBJ
tanned thus-and very difficult it is to
smooth down the quarrels, as rule, for
the Burmese are a spirited race--the eld-
ers or patriarchs of the village or dis
trict are called in, and after the circum
stances are expl lined arbitrators are APP
pointed from among Them who proceed
as follows: Two candles-wax if posi-
BILE, but generally rushlights-are select
ed of equal length and thickness, and be-
ing simultaneously lighted are placed on
the table if the establishment boasts of
one; if not, on the floor.
| This is done with the greatest gravity,
care being taken that neither party has
any advantage over the other in the
shape of drafts through the doors and
crannies, and that all present are seated
at sufficient distance to prevent their
breathing from affecting the flame. The
gradual burning down of the flames is
then watched with breathless and sol
emn silence, which eliminates as one or
the other of these slowly burns down and
splutters out its life in the waters of the
basin in which it is fixed.
A deep 'Ah" a gutteral sigh of relief,
greets this termination, and if it be the
husbands candle that burns out first he
and his relatives walk slowly out of
doors, solemnly and silently, leaving his
better half in possession of the goods and
chattels contained therein. If the wifes
candle expires first, she and hers do like
wise, and with small present to the
judges and umpires the divorce is COM
pleted.-Chicago Herald.

The Growth of q Metropolis.

Things seldom seen in New York now
adays: A runaway, man trying to as
certain where he is from the sign on a

slaughter houses, man carried Oh a
stretcher, girls selling newspapers, boys
sweeping crosswalks, advertisements
pasted ON the curbstones, a torchlight pa
rade, chowder party keeping step COM
ing home, goat south of Fifty-ninth
street, an omnibus on the west side of

of a building, or woman as ready to
take pennies in change in street car as
to give them for fare.-New York Sun.

The great secret which many electri-
clans believe to be nearing discovery by
some of their number is how to extract
from coal direct all of the energy which
it contains-the utilizing of it all, with
none of the present remainder of dead
waste. If they really do this, all their
claim and expectation of revolutionizing
present methods of heat, lighting and
transportation will be justified. If, as
they also claim, they will then make war
methods tremendously destructive be-
yond any yet known, the world may look
forward at an early day to the beginning
of a period of undisturbed peace. -Scran-
ton Truth.

Roses All the Year Round.

Splendid as the blooms of the June
ones are, we want roses all summer long.
hence have to look to The teas, Chinas,
Bourbons and similar ones to give them
to us, and they won't dlsappoint us.
Summer roses, as we call them, bloom
from first to last, giving us their small
er, though sweet scented, flowers until
freezing weather comes. When the cool
nights of fall come, they make glorious
display of flowers, allowing of the cut
ting of many bouquet. The we'll
known Hermosa, Louis Philippe, NAL
+maison and Agrippina are members of
this class. Other good Representative es
are Appoline, Edward Desfosses, Louise
Oder, Bougere, Caroline Marniesse, Flo
mer, Gloire de Dion, Nine. de Vatry,
Souvenir dun Ami, Marie Ducher and
Sombrieul. These are all hardy in this
latitude with but little protection, and
in many places with no protection at all.

Asking the Wrong Party.

"Some of you," said a political orator,
remind me of Johnny Bizirn, who un-
dertook to break the yearling bull, and
to make sure he did not get away tied
the rope around his waist. The break
ing process angered the yearling, and he
split crack in the atmosphere toward
the swamp. Johnny only hit the ground
in the high places. In their mad career
they passed neighbor, who yelled to
John. Where are you going?' 'Blanked
if know he replied as he sailed
through the air. Ask the bull. -

The News for 1898.

Since the last issue Of THE News the
chimes OF time have rung out the old and
rung in the new year. We have bid
goodbye to the old year with its joys
and it's sorrows, its hardships and it's
blessings.
With the first days of 1893 we enter
upon our work on THE News determin-
ed to serve the public generally, especial
cially our patrons, S best we may be
able for the next twelve months. What
soever we have learned by edu cation or
experience will be devoted to the best
interests of our people and section with
an honesty Of purpose that satisfies our
conscience and which we hope will meet
with the hearty approval of our fellow
citizens.
1t has been our policy to improve
from year to year our facilities for serv-
ing the public, and we enter upon this
years duties better prepared in that re-
spect than ever before.
We thank our friends and patrons for
their favors the past year, and again ask
for so much of the public patronage as
the people, in their opinion, think we
are entitled to. THE News takes pleas
ure in repaying its friends.
