Mthat they are good, and win give good
service, if they are worn and treated as
they should be. A light, thin bottom shoe
should not be expected to give the same
wear that a heavy shoe will. So do not
purchase a real light Shoe when a
heavy one should be worn, and then com
plain if it doesn't stand. You run no risk
in buying shoes from us, as we will gladly
make good any shoes that are not as repre-
sented. We have a big stock of shoes and

The Ordeal of Christening.

People whose households are unblest

them standing at the altar with a little
child awaiting christening, +" remarked one
OF the fortunates after church service
There were five children held by fond
fathers and mothers, and while there an
peared to be some degree of tranquility
there was plenty of trouble. Somebody
remarked that our little girl behaved
splendidly, but nobody knew the troubles
we had. That youngster broke my watch
chain in two, and then my wife gave her
the one she had been wearing, and that
was broken, and the piecI were jammed
into my mouth. too. ali this peacefully
while the service was being read. Then
the baby perceived her little brother on the
second scat from the front and cooed out
for him rs loud as she knew how. He, a
3-year-old, responded by creeping under
the front seat and Juggling at my trousers,
calling Papa. papan Then the minister
took the littlo one in his arms, amid her
vigorous protestations, and put water on
her head. / took her from him, and every
body aftcrward told us how NICE If they

a resolution Of sympathy in regard to
Rev F. f. Hale, who was prevented from
being present By domestic sorrow and allie
ton.

and referred to the committee On business,
and as modified were approved:
Resolved. that the serious and increas'
ing corruption and yenality, developed
In recent years in connection with toe
government of American cities. has not
only made good municipal administration
much more difficult and costly, but has SO
obstructed the advancement of morality
and religion as to make IL a grave duty OF
all friends of municipal reform 70 exer;
themselves for the arrest of such evils in
the future and make common cause in
urging all good citizens to discard mere
party spirit and interests and unite in
common efforts for good municipal gov
eminent without regard TO their party
affiliations.
The resolution was passed: THAT this
congress wishes to express its profound
sense Of the serious nature of those evils
which have their origin in the habits OF
intemperance and in the demoraiizing in
fluencc of the traffic in intoxicating
drinks.
These evils not only cause needless
expenditure OF vast sums of money Win
out useful results, but also serious lin-
pairment Of the physical and mehtsl
energies, the general debasemene OF
character and much OF the corruption 10
politics and government, but are the cnlei
obstruction to the triumph OF morality
and religion, "a reproach to enlightened
people and Christian civilization.

ATTACKS UPON CHRISTIANS.
Charged a Turkish Soldier Made an Assault
Upoa Young Armenian Girl.

Constantinople, Oct 22.-Reports have
reached here that Mussulmans at Ismid,
Asia Minor. IS miles southeast of this city,
are continuing attacks upon Christians.
IL is charged that n Turkish soldier at
that place made an assault upon young
Armenian girl and threatened her with
death.
This charge is denied by the authorities
ut 1smid. Troops were hastily dispatched
to the scene. The public prosecutor at
IsIuid started for Akhissar to begin an in
quiry in the recent massacres there. Ac-
cording to advices received from Adana
and Aleppo, revolutionary propaganda of
serious proportions is in operation in those
sections.
Agents Of the propaganda are enrolling

and arms, ammunition and dynamite are
reported to have been secretly imported

Sailing Ship Routes.

The longest way around is often the
shortest way to a vessels destination
Sailing ship routes on the United States
north Atlantic pilot charts clearly show
for example, how unadvisablo it would be
for navigator bound to England from
the equator to make directly for his des-
tined haven. In mid Atlantic there is a
region of high barometric pressure, around
which the winds circulate in the same way
as the hands of u watch Hence, on the
eastern side, where northerly winds pre-
vail, the outward bound sailing ship has q
fair wind. On the western side of the
north Atlantic. however where southorly
winds are probable, the vessels bound to
Europe arc favorably situated.
1t is for this reason that the outward
bound vessels make fairly direct track,
while those homeward bound are COM
PEELED to make wide sweep to the west
ward out of the straight line. Again, old
sailing ships in ballast, bound to Canada
for cargo of timber, will actually sail
right around this central Atlantic area of
high barometric pressure rather than con-
tend against the persistent westerly winds
of higher ATTITUDES. Maury first drew at
tention to the desirability of adopting this
longer route in order to obtain q quicker
passage. Ships of this description bound
westward steer southwest from the Eng
lish channel as though bound across the
equator, until the twentieth parallel of
north latitude is reached, then steer due
west before the easterly winds of that
region, gradually turn to the northward
as the American coast is approached and
thus have quicker and finer passage than
would be possible along the flftieth paral-
lel.-Chambers' journal.

A HOT FIGHT
Over nyestig CATION Of Building Of Street Car
System at Bridgeport, CT.

Bridgeport, CT, Oct. 2222.-Thc city
is excited, today, over the report Of City
Attorney Toomey prt sented to the board
of councilmen last night, declaring that
the street car system here was built well
in all but few particulars, and advising
against carrying the investigation to the
courts
Councilman O'Rourke and Farrell OF
the investigating committee appeared be
fore a notary public, this morning, de-
olared under oath that the report of the
city attorney was series of misrepresen.
tations and never authorized by the com.
mittee.
The latter will ask the board of alder
men, tomorrow, to permit it to engage
new council and forbid the city attorney
to interfere with the progress Of the invcs
tigation. 1t will probably be a close
fight over the matter when it reaches the
board of aldermen.
