We are not at all surprised at our
increased trade-it's the goods and
prices that have brought it all about.
We have adopted the policy of quick
sales and small profits it's a first
rate policy for both the buyer and
seller. 1t means TRUE ECONOMY
good things need not be high
priced
There is certain hard wall of
facts and figures however, that
stands between possibility and prod
igal promises. There are certain
prices below which no good, honest
article can be bought. Those prices
are our's,-if you pay less you will
certainly get less. This is a plain
statement worth remembering.
We don't know what got into the
factory for they have sent us enough
LADIES, SHIRT WAISTS to sup
ply every lady ON these Islands.
We must get rid of them. Come in

PARIS, Jan. 6.-The Cabinet held a
council this morning on the Sierra Laone

far received prove true. that France will
not contest the making of reparation. It is

RISING IN THE NORTH.
There Is Open Disaffection With
PeixotO'S Dictatorship,

ST. VINCENT, ". l., Jan. Ga dispatch
from the Associated Press correspondent
at Pernsmbuco, dated December Ct, saws
that after a most careful, non-partisan
Investigation he has been forced to the
conclusion that the feeling in favor of the
revolution is constantly spreading in the
north, and that the presence of Govern
ment soldiers would not be enough to re-
strain it but for the presence of the Mic
theroy and America. If they should de-
part the rebellion would break out. as in
the south. Even the Government troops
sympathize with the rebellion and would
not be very severe with the rebels in case
OF an uprising.
The crews Of the Nictheroy and America
are reported to be much dissatisfied at not
receiving the wages promised them, and 1t
is believed, unless paid. it will be very
difficult to get them to fight. The rebel
lious feeling in the north is solely agains,
Peixoto's military dictatorship, not in
favor of monarchy, as they unanimously
favor a republic.
1t is stated here that the Nictheroy and
her consort have been instructed not to
engage the Aquidaban and Republica,
even should those vessels arrive off this
port. 1t Is said, should the rebel admiral
be signaIed. the Government vessels will
put to sea and trust to superior speed to
escape bsing shelled by rebel cruisers. AS
already stated, should this be the case, a
revolution Ia Pernambuco, which will de-
clare itself in favor of Admiral Mello, may
be expected as soon as the Government
warshps are cut of sight of land. L. fact,
it is reported that steps have already been
taken looking to popular uprising in
favor of the insurgents, and the conspira-
tors are only awaiting the signal to declare
themselves against Peixoto and openly
furnish the insurgents the assistance
which they previously have been extend
Ing In secrecy to the adherents of Mello.
Should Pernambuco revolt, it is added, it
is possible other cities and States in the
northern part of Brazil will follow its
example.

NOTHING ABOUT BONDS.
Wilson Waiting for the Tariff Bill
to Be Passed.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 6.-Chairman Will
son of the Ways and Means Committee
says there will be no consideration of the
bond question until the tariff bill is out Of
the way. The committee has not yet given
the slightest attention to the matter OF
bonds. Harter of Ohio to-day introduced
bill giving the Secretary of the Treasury
authority to issue bonds whenever be
considered it necessary, the bonds to bear
interest at 3 per cent and to run thirty
years or less at the option of the Govern
ment. Harter says the bill was not the
result OF any talk with Carlisle or any
other admin stration eff cial.

Exposure of the Practices of the
Horsewhipped Attorney
Sensational Testimony in the Pro-
ceedings to Disbar Lawyer
tolcomb of Los Angeles.

Los ANGELES. Jan. 6.-Owing to the
hOrsewhipping of Attorney Hoc0mb yes
terday a tremendous crowd was in at
tendance in Judge Wade's courtroom to
listen to the disbarment proceedings.
Mrs. Holcomb. his divorced wife, was not
permitted to testify, but Mrs. Hyland,
who, with his ex-wife. horsewhipped him.
gave testimony. She said that about the
time Mrs. Holcomb secured her divorce
Attorney Holcomb had made her hold up
her hand and swear that she would not
reveal what he was to tell her. She had
given the desired pledge. Holcomb then
informed her that he had had Mrs. Hol-
comb go TO the Westminster Hotel in
March. 1888. and register as Mrs. Rant;
that while she was there the papers in the
Rant divorce case were served on her as
the defendant in that case. Holcomb told
Mrs. Hyland that it was these facts
which Mrs. Holcomb thought gave her a
'cineh" on him, but if Mrs. Hyland said
nothing about the matter for few mo tbs
all trouble In the matter would be imp pos
sible. as the limitation would expire dur
ing which prosecution could commence.
Holcomb further told Mrs. Hyland. she
says, that he secured the Rant divorce
owing TO his trick with his wife.
In answer to a question whether she
knew man named Strong, Mrs. Hyland
said: "Holcomb came to my room last
September and told me Strong bad fiirted
with a girl in the millinery-s.ore in the
Baldwin Hotel, San francisco"
Holcomb wanted Mrs. Hyland to get a
friend of hers. MI. Hoffman, to have a
friend of his, commercial drummer by
the name of j. Anderson. who travels be-
tween here and San Fran cisco. call on the
girl in that city and tell her Strong was a
married man with family. Holcomb
then calculated that the girl would sue
Strong for breach of promise and that
he would be employed by Strong to de-
fend him and get a big fee. Mrs. Holcomb
said size subsequently went with Hoffman
to visit Holcomb at the Cotters House and
that Holcomb had shown them a photo
graph of the girl inscribed Frank from
Ida."
Some sensational testimony was elected
this afternoon concerning the eseapades
of both Mrs. HOlcomb and Mrs. Hyland.
Holcomb and his witnesses denied every
thing.
