Wanamaker advertises in the Phila-
delphia papers that by reason of the
lower duties imposed by the new
tariff bill he will sell goods cheaper
than ever, and quotes prices to show
that he is selling many woolens for
one half the old price. That is one
of the many good things the Demo
cratic tariff bill is doing for the peo-
ple.

ing their esteem to the faithfulness,
honesty and sincerity of..Mr. Wilson.
He is regarded everywhere, outside
the state as well as within it, as a
statesman of pronounced integrity
and unassailable purity of public
and private life. Our Ravenswood
correspondent tells us that in the
convention at that place yesterday
to nominate candidate for state
senator that at the mention of Mr..
Wilson's name the convention broke
into spontaneous and. enthusiastic
cheering that could not be controlled
for several minutes. Such a tribute
to public nan from a constituency

the highest possible testimony to
his moral and political worth. The

A NEW CRAZE.
Girls Look for Young Men with Rings on
Their Fingers.

Young men have been wondering
what it all could mean.
For the last few weeks whenever a
young man met young lady of his ac-
quaintance she would closely examine
his fingers, and, finding ring there,
would turn il around two or three times
and be satisfied.
When asked for an explanation the
young lady would of course, evade the
subject and laugh most sweetly at what
she would innocently call joke.
But the secret is out and il has come
to the ears of the young men. Now the
fun will be all on the other side.
1t is new craze, this turning of rings
on the fingers of young men by their
lady friends. Where it came from no
one knows; why the girls have all taken
it up they, of course, cannot explain
themselves. They think it is just too
lovely, that's all.
There is firm downtown which en-
ploys a large number of young men and
women, and much time is wasted there
during the day by the practice of this
craze. Recently one Of the employers
discovered what it all meant and now
there is a sign posted conspicuously in
the room which reads: ANY employee
caught practicing the ring-turning BUSH
ness will be Immediately discharged. "
asked member of the firm what it
was all about.
why. it's the craziest thing YOU ever
heard of. he said The idea is this.
If a young lady meets young man
with ring on his finger she is to turn
the ring two or three times. Then with
another man the same thing. and so on
until she has turned rings to the extent
of about twenty-four times. Then the
next thing to do is to look for married
person, male or female, wearing a
marriage ring. This ring she is to turn
twice, and the next man She shakes
hands with will be her husband.
Crazy, isn't it?" said the dignified
employer with a laugh But that sign
there has pat a stop TO it in this place.
The time we have lost through it would
amount to days"
asked one of the young ladies' if all
this was true. After some Hesitation
she admitted, with many bushes that
it was.
"Of course, you girls only do it for a
ioke?' said l.
oh, no. replied she very seriously,
"we all believe in it. Why, | know of
young lady myself who married the
very man she shook hands with after
turning the marriage ring. 1t comes
true every time.
"Ilow about YOURSELF"
well, I'm waiting patiently for the
yodng man whom | shook hands with
to ask me"
And she bounded away with laugh
to join her friends.
