IMPORTANT NOTICE.

l desire to call the attention of the
members of the Alliance who have
still, notes and unpaid accounts for fer
tIllzer, to the fact that the Durham
FERTILIZER Company have been ex-
tremely lenient with them during the
financial depression, and have waited
on the Alliance people and have car
rled their notes and accounts in a time
when it was extremely inconvenient to
them, and caused them MANY hard
ships, but they did this with the pur
pose OF protecting and helping the ALI
ance brethren when they sorely needed
this help. Brethren, you now have
your crops on hand, andanhile these
products may be very low, you owe it
to yourselves, to your Alliance and to
the company, to pay at once all that is
due for fertilizer. Let me beg you and
insist that you will at once send to the
company any. sums that you may be
due them. They must have this money
to furnish usfertilizer again hisspring,
and a payment to them now means a
credit to you again in the spring. So
do not delay another day, but send the
money to them at once. This is inn
pOrtant and must be attended to at
Onc
We are going to furnish you the same
high grade goods that we have done
heretofore, and do all we can to accom-
mOdate you this year, but to get this
favor you must pay up what you owe
Fertilizers are ready for shipment
now for the spring trade, and you can
send in your order.

such eggs as we have been shipping to

the plan sent out and do not wait for
returns. If you follow directions good
prices surely will be received.
We have ordered thous ands of egg
boxes direct from the factory and the
crates and baskets will be sent from
here complete i'm a few days. We re-
gret the delay and expense in getting
the egg baskets from Boston to those
Subs that have ordered the past month

brother has shipped beef to Boston.
We think it will be a losing business,
therefore do not advise such shipments.
We cannot recommend any other mar
ket f Or eggs at this time except Boston.
We can get more there net than most
of markets pay gross. Send orders for
five or more crates complete.
Our merchant writing from Boston,

the place of fresh eastern, and the time
is not far distant when they will take
the lead. providing you keep up the
system you have adopted. The eggs
like Mr.. w. S Barnes shipped will
always command top prices"

A COWARDLY POLICY.

Was the investigation of the charges

designed onl" to gain time and to stop

of Trockway?

the suspension of ~lIruckway during its

Would not such a cowardly policy be

The Park Department wants more; the

The Evening Gown.

Much is new, these days, in the line of
overskirts. Butterfly overdresses of ac-
Gordon plated gauze are worn over silk
skirts of exactly the same shade. They
often have 4 finish of s%pangles and a
tiny frilling Of narrow lace. Nothing
could be more dainty or better cal
culated to give new modishness and
to a gown which is n little
worn Scarfs Of chiffon are draped over
the hips in panier fashion and following
the lines of the pointed bodice tie in a
soft knot in front. To give the needed
weight the ends are finished with a
frill OF lace, headed by a ban OF thickly
spangled ribbon. Panels are set On belts,
to hang at each hip without %fulness, and
reach almost to the knee. This Is n
concession, perhaps, to the demand of
fashion for p%aniers, but at the same time
all the bunchiness of paniers Is avoided.

MUCH GOLD FOR JIMMY"
Troy Tells of the Contracts He
Made for the Champion.

w. II. Troy, who had been In France
for nearly nine weeks arranging terms
for Arthur A. Xlmmerman's professional
career, arrived to-day in the Majestic.
Troy says that by the contract he has
made In behalf of Zimmerman, the
champion Is to receive 10000 cash the
day he reaches Europe to race as a pro-
f%cselonal.
Troy stats that Zimmerman Is to re-
Ceive $50 for each event in which
he starts, in addition to the prize
money which he may win. At
each race meet whore he has been adj
vcrtlsel to appear, and where he nCtu-
of the net gate receipts.
Troy refuses to state what sum in
lUcel George a. Banker to go with
Zimmerman. He goes to help pace
" IIm' In his races, and incidentally to
ride OF his own account.
Troy considers Shorthand to be Xim-
mcrman's greatest opponent, hut does
experience any, trouble whatever In
beating them all.
In regard to the resurrection of the
Cash Prize League. under his manage
ment, Troy prefers not 70 speak az yet.
II Is understood to be his intention to
bring "Zim,' Wheeler and all the
French craCk-a-jacks over to the United
States next Fal to race.
Tbs American trio, Waller, Ashinger
and Martin, he said, are growing fat In
Paris. and express themselves as en-

Painters pickle Is used for removing
old paint. 1t Is useless to waste time
and money applying good enamel paint
over old paint, for it quickly cracks and
grows shabby. Mix one pound and a
half OF stone potash, one pound and a
half to two pounds of soft soar and
half a pound of washing soda together,
and stir into about a gallon of water.
The pickle should then be boiled till the
potash is melted. Apply this with a
brush, then let 1t stand for several hours.
The work must afterwards he washed

piled equally well hot or cold. Great
