Chicago has always boasted OF doing
things on great big scale. The latest ad-
vices from the City blythe Lake are TO the
effect that the Treasury is empty and the
indebtedness figures up s8,OOO,OOO. III Is
said that since the last election that the
town Is growing slow, although the
Mayor Is Swift.
When / read OF Mr.. James Scott's death
the fact was vividly brought to mind that
life is mighty uncertain. He was
thorough newspaper man, practical
printer, and had made wonderful sue
cess. He was owner OF The Herald and
The Evening Post, and short
time ago merged The Herald into Carter
Harrison,s Times. At the time OF
his death he was in New York contem-
plating a newspaper deal in that city.
As knew him he was an aggressive, but
at the same time warm hearted man,
true to his friends, and one of those
rarities of human nature, in that success
did not spoil him.
We are told that beet hiss gone up. We
are also told that there are 100000 fewer
beef cattle this year than last. Last year
the statistical fiend put down the num-
Der of cattle aforesaid, not counting milk
cows, at 10000, 900 head. What the pub
lie want to learn is how, with shrink
age OF less than one half OF one per cent,
there was any need Of rise in beef, any
way.
IL beef goes up, up goes leather.
Leather has gone up, but the shrewd
shoe dealer who bought goods before the
rise, can afford to give his customers
the benefit of moderate prices. f. Il.
Ballou, 127 Weybosset street, was arguing
this subject with the writer yesterday.
! make note OF it here that intending
purchasers, ladies or misses, men or boys
can take advantage of the fact.
This brings us to the subject of feet.
BY all means treat your feet kindly.
Don't squeeze them or surround them
with size too small or a size too large.
Get fit. Get quality. Trade at a re-
sponsible store as above mentioned.
While was in "Uncle Tom" Carpen-
ter's yesterday observed one man buy
ing q dog collar and another had S24O
worth OF diamonds beneath a magnifying
glass. "Where do you mover" l asked
the proprietor. "Well SIR" was the re-
ply, "we move right away, as soon
as we can pack up, to the
stores 1876 and 1877 Weybosset street,
corner OF Clemence." A good location.
When the new building is finished he
will return to the old lucky corner--Mid-
die and Union.
All the great singers OF the opera are
resting now, and those who have been
engaged for the Arion Concert, which
takes place at Infantry Hall, May 9, will
be in readiness to appear to tho best pos
sible advantage. Nordica! Melba!!
Magic names in the world OF song. They
will be there and so will Davies, the cele-
brated tenor.
am told there are at least 1913 manu-
fictories of bicycles already, and more to
hear from. That shows that the demand
for bicycles Is increasing. That is the
reason the Berkeley riding school at la
Weybosset street 10 crowded. That is the
reason that tho Whittien Cycle Manufac-
turing Co., Infantry building, sells the
lCtOr inc huu
the lightweight Orient.
Artist Morton OF 81 Westm inster street
was taking apart a show sign he had in
front OF his studio at Block Island since
the summer of 1882. Among the portraits
in cabinet size wero some OF a well known
young lady in various poses. Tho re-
markable part OF il was that the portraits
aforesaid looked rs il they had been taken
within thirteen days rather than thirteen
years-Lucky thirteen!
Another new invoice of spring clothing
was received at tho Misht Clothing Par
lors, 100 Westminster street. Watch the
papers for the announcement.
What we call to mind:
Zin-zil- "a. bud.
Cashier Bennett.
The Comstock burglars.
The "Old Blue Store"
The Hoyle Tavern.
Daniel Pratt and Commodore Packard.
OLD VET.
