ANOTHER TEST AT INDIAN HEAD

ANOTHER TEST At INDIAN HEAD
The naval ordinance officers took an
other shot at the Carnegie 17-inch er-
NOR plate at Indian Head yesterday.
This plate had been subjected hereto
fore to three shots. The first showed
fairly satisfactory results, the second
perforated and cracked the plate, and
the third would have passed the pla 9
had it been contract test. Iestel-
days shot penetrated the plate to a
depth of ten inches, cracked it and then
split up; but, as it was fired at the pre-
MUM velocity of I ,S5S feet per second,
this result was accepted as satisfactory.
The plate represents about 600 tons of
armor for the Oregon's barbette, and it
has now withstood very severe test.
But whether the last two shots can be
regarded as passing the lot has not yet
been decided by the department, there
being some doubt as to whether the
failure of the plate upon the second
shot did not require rejection.

that we're put on the immense
stock of
Dry Goods, Notions, Fancy Goods, &c.,
and they caught on at once.
They came in aocks, in crowds,
in troops, and when they saw
what we we're doing and real
lied the IMMENSE SACRI-
FICE that was being made,
they waded right into the good
things and every one secured
a prize. At this SLAUGHTER
SALE you can't go wrong.
Whatever you buy is a bar
gain which cannot be dupli-
Gated for double the money.
YOU DRAW A PRIZE EV-
cry TIME-THERE ARE
NO BLANKS.
Some good things are gone,
but there are many still here.
Those who couldn't get to see
us last week missed some
good opportunities. But we
are still going to give them a
chance to get even. We have
made another STUPENDOUS
REDUCTION in the prices of
the goods left. This sounds
impossible, but it is true nev-
ertheless, We want every
thing cleared out from top to
bottom, and the way we are
going to do it is by giving to
each person three times as
much for his money as could
be gotten elsewhere for the
same sum. We have plenty
of choice fabrics yet on hand,
which, if the business had to be
wound up, would command
full price to-day from every
man, woman and child who
needs them. These very same
goods we reduce this week to
less than one-half of their mar
ket value. Why, it would pay
you to lay in a stock for future
use.
It's like saving up so much money in bank
you will have to have the goods come time,
and you will have then to pay 100 cents Oh
the dollar for them. Why not buy them now
and hrs effect great saving? A PENNY
