Dress Goods the Dry Goods
zes-There are few really
great retail Dry Goods stores
in the world. Paris has two.
possibly three. London has
none that will compare favor
ably with those in Paris. The
ideal store has not appeared
in New York.
Philadelphia has Wanna
makers. Public judgment
seals this as the great success
in American retailing. We ac-
cept the verdict and justify it
by appeal to the perennial
stock of Dress Goods.
Years ago we made the stan
dard: The most complete
Dress Goods stock in America.
No variation, no declension in
quantity, or variety, has since
been tolerated. The collection
S always unique perfection.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, aud that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube is inAamed you have rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result,
aud unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever ;
nine cases oct of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)th that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

If the Republicans intend to make
a fight next year they had much bet
ter stop fighting now and save their
strength for the common enemy. II
an election was to be held in this
State q month hence the Democrats
would win from the Brandywine to
Baltimore. There is not any use
trying to deny the fact of the breach
being equally as wide now as it was
on the 9th of May. The feeling be-
tween the Addicks and Higgins men
is just as bitter now as then. There
must be some understanding between
these two wings or there will not be
any use in making a ticket next
year. We have no plan to suggest
looking towards harmony, for there
is not any possibility of getting to-
gether just now, but this is the time
to do the thinking,-to formulate
plans,-and to compromise. The
Republican party is hard to kill in
Delaware. For thirty years it fought
a hard fight and every time suffered
defeat, but the next round would find
them as fully determined, as full of
fight as the last. Who can bring
about a harmonious feeling? The
man or men who can cement the diff
ferent factions will win the eternal
gratitude of every member of the
party. Let the leaders get together
and have some understanding that
they will stick to even if said under
standing is not just what all would
like it to be. There must be har-
mony if success is expected.

Called the Bismarck Of the Balkans Be

The late NJ. Stambuloff, ex-premier
of Bulgaria, used to be called "the

most dramatic passages with Russia
occurred during the war with Servia.

the Bulgarian army in person, leaving

air stirring, and the roar Of the cannon
was plainly heard in the city. NJ
Stambulotf thought the Servians were
winning the day In their anxiety the
Bulgarian ministers applied to the Rus
sian diplomatic agent for advice That
gentleman shrugged his shoulders and
said it was no affair of his.
''But, urged the Bulgarian minis

that word will not be spoken. On one
condition only will I stop them, and
that is that your beggar of a prince

With that M. StambuloH sprang into
the saddle and dashed away to the bat

to his friends to come to his house to
celebrate the defeat of the Bulgarian
armies. A few hours passed, and then
the Bulgarian foreign minister got a
telegram from NJ. Stambulof, dated
on the field of battle, telling of Prince
magnificent victory and of
the utter rout of the Servians. He hur-
ried with it to the house of the Russian
agent arriving there in the midst of
the festivities. And when he told the !

Caffeine, the active principle of coffee,

pure state it takes the form of long silky
needles. In ordinary coffee it is present
to the extent Of about 1 per cent, but
Java coffee contains A. 4, and Marti-
nique has as much as ga. 1t is said by
some chemists that caffeine in its essen

the inferior qualities Of tea contain more
caffeine than the best commercial grades.

THE recent fight against Senator
Quay for State Chairman of the Re
publican party of Pennsylvania was
organized and conducted by the per-
sonal friends and political managers
of ex-President Harrison and was
very ably supported by Governor
McKinley's adherents throughout
the State.
1t was an aggressive fight for su-
premacy on the part of the Harrison
Mckinley forces against the Quay
Reed element of the party. The
Harrison people boldly proclaimed
that it meant a st. Helena for Quay
If they were victorious. The Senator
met the issue and just as boldly pro-
claimed to the people Of Pennsylva
mia that at means either my elimi-
nation from politics, or that the Hog
Combine of Pennsylvania shall be
nightmare of the past"
The Harrison-McKinley combine
asked for no quarter, and if success
full, intended to give none. 1t was
clearly a case of burning their
bridges behind them and fighting TO
the death. Had Quay been chucked
over the ramparts, Gov. Hastings ,ex-
Postmaster General Wanamaker,
David Martin and Chris Magee would
have been four Of the eight delegates
at large to the Republican National
Convention, and Pennsylvania's del
egation would have been practically
solid for Harrison.
Pennsylvania will send eight del
egates at large, four for the two SEN
ators and four for the two Congress
men at large. Senator Quay, Gov.
Hastings, Lieut-Gov. Lyon, of Pitts
burgh, ]. Hay Brown, of Lancaster,
ex-Lieut-GoV. Watres, Congressman
Jack Robinson of Media, and William
B. Gill, of Bucks, will doubtless be
chosen; and if Mayor Warwick, of
Philadelphia, would attend the Con
vention as a delegate he would re-
ceive the high honor of a unanimous
election as q delegate at large.
If the friends of Senator Quay
from other States desire that his
name shall go before the National |
Convention for the Presidency, he
will have the sincere and united sup
port of the Pennsylvania delegation.
If Senator Quay SHOULD resolutely |
refuse to enter the Presidential con-
test, as he assuredly would the chair
man of the Pennsylvania delegation,
Gov. Hastings, would in all human
probability cast Pennsylvania sixty
four votes for either Thomas Brack-
EFT Reed of Maine, or Gov. Levi P.
Morton, of New York.
/ do not speak authOritatively in
saying that under Senator Quay's
leadership the vote of Pennsylvania
will be cast solidly for Reed or Nor
ton but l do assert that neither SEN
ator Quay nor any friend of his from
Pennsylvania will cast a vote for
Benjamin Harrison, Of Indiana, or I
William Mckinley, of Ohio.
