Women'S Shoes, $3.50.

Ireyouchcatca2 The papers
in towns not a days journey
from Philadelphia advertise
Women's Shoes at $3.50 from
$500, which is claimed to be
giving them to you atlcss than
It took to make them. We
bought a pair and tore them
apart. The leather is quite
good, the lining ordinary, the
wax and tacks ofthe sole hid by
a bit of stuff pasted over-let
the foot get warm, the glue
gives and the wcarer gets
down to the stocking-tearing
sole-torture Of the bargain.
Does the seller tote fair ?
No, and yet the Shoes are
fairly worth what they cost !;
but you were led to buy them
as $500 Shoes. Analyze the
costs of making and our regu-
lar $3.50 Shoes costs more
than we could duplicate the
$500 Shoe" for. Ours has
Goodyear welt, with insole
that are same as hand-sewed
has nothing to hide and can't
come out. Prettily stitched
soles; almost daintily finished
tops-not a skimp. Sold
5000 pairs Of them last year
and we'll sell many more this
year; not a bargain Shoe, but
a bargain in Shoes.
We don't let anybody give
you quite as much for your
money as you'll get here.

Under the provision Of the Constitu-
ton, Hon. William Il. Watson, the
Speaker of the Senate, will exercise the
office Of Governor until a governor
elected by the people is inaugurated in
January, 1897.
Governor Watson has the intelligence
and character to make chief magis-
trate Of whom the people of the State |
will be proud. His intellect is vigorous,
active and well informed. His acquaint-
ance with the needs and desires Of Della
wareans is intimate. His political prin-
ciples are well considered and upright.
He has conscience, and he is accus.
toned to use it in public as well as
private life.
The circumstances which bring to
him the high duties Of the governorship
are out Of the ordinary; tor ne is not
elevated to this station through a victory
OF his party at the polls, but, rather, by
the interposition of Providence. His
character is such that, coming to the
governnrship under any circumstances,
lie would be careful and conservative
executive, and coming IN this way lie
will doubtless be greatly impressed with
the propriety Of using his constitutional
power with the utmost caution and
moderation.
He will, of course, conduct his ad-
ministration on Democratic lines, for he
is Democrat. His faith in Democratic
principles is sincere, and he was elevated
To tile Speakcrship of the Senate as d
representative of the Democratic party
In his appointments to ciiicc he vii
therefore naturally surround himself by
political friends We feel assured tina
in selecting such he will choose mer
whose fitness for the places they ar
called to fill will be generally recognized
by men Of all parties.
If the circumstances under which h
comes to the governorship are extra
ordinary, they are also such as to leav
the new Governor peculiarly free an
untrammelled. lie owes no political
or clique of politicians any politics

put him under obligations by workn
for his nomination or by being partiGl
larry strenuous in striving for Ii
election. In the nature Of the case, h
has no outstanding promises definite {
implied.
We are anticipating good things fro
the administration OF Governor Watso
We expect him TO be free from Il
domination Of all bosses, and to kHo
no factions He has a great opport
nifty to be the peoples Governor. *
lowing such course he can look fc
ward with confidence to being su
ceeded in office by Democrat, since
Governor who does right commends t
party to which he belongs to the con
dence Of the people. Those Of us WI
even the shortest memories can rec

Governor Joshua Ii. Marvll mas lalu
down the duties and cares Of this life
and passed into the great beyond. His
health was known to be prccarious
when he was nominated and elected last
year to the high office of Governor; but
his availability was considered SO great
by his political friends that they forced
upon him the burdens involved in
political campaign and in the subse-
quent administration of affairs. For
several weeks his condition has been
such as to foreshadow his death.
There is one thing touchingly sad in
the circumstances surrounding the close
of Mr.. Maryil's career. He was not by
nature contentious man. For many
years the Republican party in his county
has been rent by feuds, but his love Of
peaceful relations prevented him from
allying himself with any faction. lie
had no place in such wars.
But the fight over the election of a
Senator, coming Immediately after his
Inauguration and continuing to this
moment, brought him to the very edge
OF its bitter conflict. His last days were
full of fachonal fighting, and so in.
tense were its animosites that the pity
OF his death, here at the beginning of hi;
term of office, may scarce soften them
Mr.. MGrvii was man of kindly dis
position, and he was accordingly popu
lar among his neighbors and acquaint
ances. He was earnest and active in hi
religious life. All political disagree
ments ought to stand forever hushed b.
the side of an open grave, where it be
comes all to forget that the departed on
was political opponent, aud to remem
Der only that he was fellow-man.
OF course, the political results o
Gov. Marvirs death are momentous
The office of Governor, with its grea
patronage, passes from Republican t
Democrat. The apple Of victor
which the Republican party plucke
last fall, turns to ashes almost before
has been tasted.
1t becomes the Democrats to take til
power which now comes into thei
hands with bowed heads and dee
determination to use it only for IL
public welfare.
To the personal friends and IL
family Of the late Governor, Til
GAZETTE extends sincere sympath
They have the satisfaction Of rememba
ing that Joshua II. Marvil, by his cha
acter, energy and intelligence, lift,
himself from humble beginnings
prosperity, commanding influence, al
the chief magisracy of his native Stat
and now leaves behind him that pric
less thing-a good name.
