 In pursuance of our invari- able custom never to carry made up garments from one season to another, we now make this sale, although the stock is full in as- sortments of the very latest styles of the season, complete in colors and sizes.
 The sale is made earlier than would be otherwise necessary, because we need the room to make contemplated repairs, con sequently the jackets and capes must go just at the time when they are in the greatest demand,
 While the advantage is large for buyers, it is believed that our own interest will also be ultimately served even in this considerable loss.
 Great activity and prompt dis tribution must result from the above offering, and prompt at. tention is therefore advised.

VOLUME XXIIZ.

With to-day's issue the CONNECTICUT WESTERN NEWS commences Volume XXIu. Perhaps at this milestone on its journey we may be permitted to say that many people think that the NEWS, like wine, improves by age. Although the NEWS is growing old it does not purpose to publish old news. pardon the paradoxical term "old news'o but it intends to give it's readers the latest news that can possibly appear in a journal designed to chronicle the inn portant events as they transpire both far and near from week to week.
 When the founder of the NEWS began it's publication many considered the venture an unwise one, an experiment that would soon be abandoned; but the NEWS still lives, thanks to it's many friends and substantial supporters. The NEWS congratulates itself that it still prospers notwithstanding many other papers have appeared in this county since the NEWS was launched. It is also fact that during the past twenty two years 8 number of so-called news papers which have been born in this county have died natural death, and some of the remainder are about ready to give up the ghost. It is easy enough to launch newspaper and it is easy
 
 different task to keep 1t ahoat.
 Fully realizing these facts, and the conclusion drawn from them that some people do know good thing when they see it, the NEWS fearlessly enters upon the labors and responsibilities of Volume XXIII fully determined, as in the past, to give it's patrons the worth of their money.

A TIME-OBSERvING MULE.
She Won't Work on Sundays and She
Stops When the Whistle Blows.
New York Sun.


Name, the mule that draws cars at th Q
breaker of Lackawanna Valley coal mine,
keeps closer track OF the time than the
men. A minute or so before the whistle
blows at noon Name begins to bray and
paw and stamp, but does not refuse to pull
the cars. The instant the whistle sounds,
however, Name comes to q dead stop, and
no matter in what part of the yard she is
working she cannot be coaxed or forced to
pull pound until she has had her dinner.
Then she works as faithfully as an OK until
just before the whistle is going to sound the
quitting time-blast, when she brays again,
but does not paw or stamp AS at nOontime.
She won't stir peg after the first foot of
the stgam whistle, aud the driver boy knows
better than to try TO make her haul the trip
of cars by whipping her. The mule keeps
such a close track Of the time that she has
not failed in two years to bray minute or
two before the whistle blew at noon and
night. She never brays, the workmen say,
except when she thinks 1t is nearly time to
quit work for her dinner or supper.
Name also knows when Sunday comes,
rs the workmen ascertained three times last
year. 1t became necessary on Sunday last
A pTil TO do a little extra work in the yard,
and the mule was hitched TO trip of cars
in the morning She wouldn't take step
and they had to put her in the barn. On
Monday morning Name went to pulling the
cars as usual, and she didn't finch partl-
Gle in her labors. They tried her again on
a Sunday morning in June. but she wouldn't
even straighten the traces She worked all
right the next day. On a July Sunday the
men hitched her to trip again, but she
couldn't be coaXed to pull an ounce, and
they came TO the conclusion that Name was
a strict Sabbatarian Since then they
haven't attempted to make the mule work
on Sunday.
II knew Name before we bought her."
said the foreman, land / told the boy never
to hitch her to more than three cars. One
day he hitched her TO four, and she went
ahead all right till she heard the third link
click. She had been used to hearing only
two links click, aud she came to dead
stop the moment she heard the third click,
aud she wouldn't bulge an inch till the boy
unlocked the hind car. Then she went
right along, as though she was satisfied
"Mame is always in as big hurry to get
TO work in the morning on every week day
as she is TO stop when the whistle blows. If
the boy doesn't go to her stall by the time
the machinery has been started in the
breaker, Name bites the Manager and kicks
against the sides of the stall as though she
WAS determined to make him come and
harness her. But on Sundays, and when
ever the breaker is idle at other times,
Name makes no fuss In her stall If the boy

Geography of the Moon.
London Telegraph.


Sir Robert Ball is reported to have said, In
lis lecture on the moon, that the geography
Of our satellite was better known even than
that Of the earth. There was no single spot
on the moon the size Of an ordinary parish
in England that had not been fully photo
graphed aud observed. or course this re-
mark can only relate to the side OF the moon
which is always turned toward us. Nearly
one-halt Of her surface has never been seen
by mortal eye, and never will be, unless the
lunar globe should be tilted by collision with
a comet or SONS such erratic body Other
wise 1t is fact that photography has done
more for the earth's attendant than for the
earth itself. 1t is analogous 10 the further
fact that the only things which man can
predict with certainty are not those that
happen on the sphere he inhabits. but the
movements Of worlds immensely distant.

fact, the coast trade is only about 1000, eco

The Disseminating School Girl.


In our Anglo-SaXon social system the
young girl is everywhere, and If the shade
OF Sterne will allow me to say so we temper
the wind of our realism to the sensitive in
nooenee of the ubiquitous lamb. We like 10
believe that our women are better than
those of foreign nations. We owe it to
them to put more faith IN them because
they are our own, our dear mothers and
wives and sisters and daughters, for whom,
if we be men. we mean to do all that men
can do.
But we are all men and women neverthe-
less, and human, and we have the thoughts
and understanding OF men and women,
and not of school girls Yet the school girl
practically decides what we are to hear at
the theater, and. so far as our own language
is concerned. determines 10 great extent
what VIC are to read.
