NICHOLSON THE TAILOR
One of the First Tailoring Establish nantS on the Pacific Slope.

One of the First Tailoring Establish
 ments on the Pacific Slope.
 Phoenix has emerged from little country town into metropolis She has forever cast aside the old ways of the frontier. and one of the great ne- cessities for business man, profes- sional man and man about town is to be dressed we'll and stylishly. Nichol- son the tailor is par excellence the fash ionable artist of this territory. His aim is to please his large trade and let no work entrusted to him leave his store until his customer is thoroughly and we'll pleased. Whenever one sees a stylishly dressed gentleman on the streets of Phoenix it is almost an abso- lute certainty that Nicholson has fur nished the garments ard that our peo- pie appreciate his efficiency to please and dress them we'll is apparent by the great mum Der of tailors Mr. Nicholson employs. Every body's taste and purse can be suited by Nicholson. He has made it his business maxim to drive away from our beautiful city the fakirs and travelling men for cheap tailoring concerns by meeting them with low prices and vastly superior its. His stock of woolens comprise splendidly selected lot of domestic suitings, Scotch tweeds, English clay worsteds and French cassmeres, and he has devoted particular attention to the selection O. the choicest patterns. We believe merit should be encouraged ; we asser that it is our duty to support an estab lishment which contributes to the re sources of our city and gives employ ment to men of family, and our busi ness men should forever cease to pat ronize people whose only aim is to draw money from this city and give nothing but poorly made garments in return. 1 MT. Nicholson is one of the most ex perienced cutters and filters and h. prepares himself all work for his jour neymen.

ONE MILLION DOLLARS
The First National Bank Transfers That
Amount TO "PrOiit and Loss
The Sum Represents Accumulated Real Es-

Profitable

CHICAGO, August 5.-rhe First
National bank has charged off from its
surplus 81. 700. 600, transferring that sum
to the profit and loss account. Never be-
fore have such heroic measures been
taken by Chicago bank. In charging
off this large sum from its surplus the d.
rectors have completely wiped out the
real estate which the bank has taken at
one time or another and which is said to
represent value of some 100000 The
bank charged literally from its unoiv ided
profits at the beginning of last year.
The banks statement to the comptroller
on December 10, 1893. showed undivi ded
profits of $GS9,94 January it charged
off something like 5000, 900 for its un-
divided profits.
'There is nothing to say about the mat
ter" asid President Gage. further than
that the bank has made losses and ac-
cumulated doubtful assets which it has
now but deemed wise to charge off in this
sweeping way. We hight have worried
along and brought out all OF these assets

only since last April, does not know
every one in those parts but says the
men did not appear to be Mexlcans, the
command to throw up his hands having
been uttered in good English. Little

peared anxious to conceal their identity.
After their departure Smith tried to re-
move the gag from his mouth. 1t was 2

in dong so. Then he shouted until neigh

IS 1T SOVERElGN'S BOYCOTT?
Pensioners Advised by Handbill to
Demand Gold
Only Two Person, Comply With the Order
Out of Five Hundred
Payess

TOPEKA, Kan. Aug. 5.-The ollow.
ing circular was distributed among the
old soldiers of Topeka and Shawnee coun-
pension office to draw their quarterly al
lowance from the government:
Comrades. halt! You ar, entitled to
gold in payment of your checks. De
mani it. DO not accept deprecated cur
rency."
The pensioners are paid by checks,
which arc cashed at the Topeka banks.
This circular was evidently prepared ny
a bimctallist who wants to show that
there is not enough golo in the banks to
pay the pensio ners alone. aside from do
ing the other business of the country.
1t has also been suggested that this
may be part of the Sovereign boycott of
national bank notes. 1t is not known
who distributed the circulars.
Over 500 pension checks were paid by
the Bank of Topeka today. only two men
asking for gold. One was customer
and was gwen the yellow metal. The
other was somewhat insolent and was
ordered ont of the bank. President J..
r. Mulvane of the Bank of Topeka said
I'VE generally pay most of the pensioners
in gold. as it is more convenient when
we are rushed, but this circular which
was distributed among the pensioners IS
diabolical. We do not charge these veter-
ans anything for collecting their money.
The government does not keep any mon
ey deposited with us, so you can see how
foolish it is that this cicrular should be
sent out telling them to demand gold"

SANTA CRUZ, Aug. s. There was
dramatic scene in the superior court to-
day when the petition Of A. Silvar of
Half Moon, who applied for letters of ad-
ministration on the state Of his brother,
Jackson SilvaT, was called. Silvar recent
ly died, leaving an estate valued at S25.-
C00 but no will. He was an old resident
OF Santa Cruz. was director in the City
bank and owned VARIABLE business prom
erty. The petition for letters was first
presented by J. l.. Enos of Watsonville at
the request of the brother of the deceased.
The latter changed his mind and petit
toned ior the letters himself. Today.
when the petition was about to be grant
ed. G. K. Lindsay, an attorney, rose and
said that the widow of Silvar had just
filed petition to he appointed admins
tratrix. This was surprise to the attor-
nevs as we'll as to the community, for no
one suspected that Silvar had wife. 1t
developed that Silvar was NJ arried by con-
tract ten years ago to Mrs. Eliza bet Nut
ter, who was his housekeeper after the
death of his first wife. For certain rea-
sons which will be explained when the
proper time comes, the marriage was kept
secret. Her attorneys say that the con-
tract can be produced in coart when the
time arrives. The widow has two grown
children by her former Husband.
