To Property owners:
 Owing to the high quality of the sherwin- Williams company's paint we have found 1t difficult to build up a profitable trade in these goods. The whole trouble is, the goods are foo high-priced for the average consumer. The result is we have a stock of several hun fred gallons that is selling too slow, and in order to push them we will sell to any bona fide property owner or agent for use only provided we have the colors selected in stock. No speculation allowed. These prices do not appIy to colors we have to order from factory.

LAMONT AND THE ARMY.
The Secretary Offers to Loan tho Gov.

Purse to DC Used In Paying Officers and
Men.

ernmcnt $780, 900 from Ills Private
Purse to DC Used in Paying Officers aud
Men.
Washington, Aug. 30.-The interest
Secretary Lamont takes In the army
was clearly shown yesterday when he
offered to advance $50, 900 from his pri-
vate purse to Paymaster General Stan
ton to pay the officers and men of the
army. who did not receive their June
salaries, owing to a deficiency In the
appropriation for the pay of the army
for the financial year ending June 80
last. Here the matter ended for the
time being, and what further steps
the secretary will take or has taken
remain to be disclosed.
Even II the secretary will advance
the money there Is a question as to
whether the accounting officers of the
treasury would approve the vouchers
1t Is feared they will hold that con-
gress made certain allowance for the
pay of the army for the year In ques-
ton. and that the secretary and the
paymaster have no authority to in
crease this allowance. 1t Is certain
that neither of these officials has au-
thortty to borrow money. In case the
secretary should make the advance
from his private resources, he would
have to depend upon congress to make
the loan good by deficiency appro-
prlation. Senator Harris, of Tennes-
see, who was present during the con-
ference, remarked that If the secre-
tary would make the advance he would
guarantee the passage of a deficiency
bill by next January reimbursing him.

LEHIGH VALLEY BOOMING.
Stock holders Anticipate Di Divldend In the

Philadelphia, Aug. 3O.-There have
been very heavy dealings In the stock
Of the Lehigh Valley Railroad COM
pany on the floor Of the Phila-

two days. and the price has risen from
80 on Wednesday to 41ss today. The
buying has been based on the report
that dividend payments would be re-

The company has not paid a dividend
since Its connection with the Reading
railroad. which was severed little
over two years ago. but Its earnings
In the past six months have increased

state Of the coal trade, as to give rise
to the belief that dividends will be re-
sumed at the next period. The officials
