has been depleted of this fish fishermen
will not deny. but they cannot advance
any reason for the scarcity.

Reading advertisements as a
rule we know is lot interesting
unless it is proftable-then il
is interesting in a pecuniary de.
gree.
But there is 80 much exag.
geration-so many ostensible
mark.downs, so many so.called
bargains that do not in reality
exist that one is apt to lose
faith. We know it, we see it,
we read it, the same as you do,
but it is a boomerang; sooner
or later it finds its mark.
There are honest advertisers
the same as there are the other
kind.
And it pays in the end
pays in two ways.
Fair and honest dealing be.
gets confidence and that is bali
the battle.
Our record has always been
clean and we take pride in the
fact.
We never misrepresent.
When we advertise anything to
be SO and SO you can depend
on it as we have said it.
In all our business life we
have tried to give 100 cents
worth of value for a dollar
that is equable. You know
whether we have succeeded ol
not. If you don't, try us.

RAILROAD AFFAIRS.

Philadelphia Directors of the New Eng
 land Make New Charges.
 Spencer Erwin, Charlemagne Tower and Joseph F. Sinnott, Philadelphia directors of the New York & New England Railroad company, last night said that there was no danger of the stock being wiped out. They added that they and other leading directors, including ex-Senator Platt were satisfied that the company had been forced into the hands of a receiver through the operations of Boston broker.
 They also stated that they were in pos session of indisputable evidence showing that MT Mcleod did not sell the company's stock, as has been charged by antagonistic interests. They intimate that the board of directors may take some public action against the broker accused of wrecking the road.
 The directors of the New England road met yesterday. In preamble to the reso- lutions passed, the board declares its be- lief that permanent receiver should be appointed, despite the fact that a large part of it's securities are held by persons more largely interested in rival corpora tion.N The resolutions instruct James Armstrong, counsel for the company, to officially deny all allegations of improper conduct on the part of the present manage ment, and to consent to the appointment of a receiver. They request the court to appoint no permanent receiver interested in the securities of a rival corporation. They also express the belief that the ap- pointment of Thomas c. Platt as sole per- manent receiver would greatly ald a speedy and satisfactory reorganization of the company's affairs, and request the court to make the said appointment.
 A dispatch from New York this after noon states that the appointment of Thomas c. Platt as receiver is in the in terest of the stockholders of the New Eng land road. It is expected that the at tempt of the New York, New Haven & Hartford road to secure the New England by foreclosure will be defeated.
 The Boston Herald to-day says: It is said that the holders of the second mort gage bonds, whose interests fall due on Feb. 1, are afraid that in case of a fore closure the New York, New Haven & Hart ford road might bid it in for the amount of the first mortgage bonds. In that event the holders of the second mortgage bonds would suffer. It was stated that MT Prince and those associated with him will, if the sale occurs, bid up the price until the second mortgage is protected It was be- lieved that the Consolidated would get the New England road, but that the price would be sufficient to cover the second mortgage bonds.

Hnw t0 Shine In Society.

A notebook, a retentive memory and an ordinary command of the English language are necessary if you want to become a brilliant conversationist.
 Into the notebook should go those good stories, those admirable bits of repartee, which are floating about. An ecdotes about persons who are of pass ing interest should also be jotted down.
 It is even advisable for the would be conve1sationist to go to those older and more brilliant than herself and humbly ask to be ''coached.' It would be mark of fattering regard for which the coacher ought to be willing to pay in choice jokes and rare estories-always provided that he or she did not need the entire stock on hand for the same dinner. There need be no deceit about using such stories. The woman who says, "Oh, by the way, have you heard MT. Jones' last?' will have satisfied ev- cry claim of honesty, and at the same time will have contributed to the suc- cess of the party. And if one is willing to study colors and styles for ones din- ner gown why not stories for one's ta- b1e talk?
