FAC S

! st: We handle the highest grades of
staple groceries produced. In Teas,
Coffees, Butter, Cheese, Rice, Mo-
lasses, Smoked Meats, Canned
Goods, Dried Fruits, Flour, etc,
etc, we have always in stock as
good as can be bought. In Import
ed goods. such as Olives, Olive Oil,
Sardines. French Peas and Beans,
etc, etc, what we carry are the
best brands brought to this coun-
try. Some people who have never
bought any goods from us have an
impression from the fact that We
sell so cheap that the goods can
not be first class. Nothing could
be farther out of the way. We de-
pend almost wholly on the quality
OF our goods to hold our trade, as
we do no drumming and solicit no
credit customers. We think we
are not stretching the truth when
we say that we handle the largest
amount of groceries of any house
in this part Of the state not ex-
clusively wholesale, which in itself
guarantees fresh goods always. So
much for quality.
I'd: Notwithstanding the fact that
the goods we handle are strictly
first class in every respect, our
method Of doing business enables
us to sell at figures much below
the usual rates. AS we said be-
fore, we do 10 drumming. That is,
we have no agents soliciting or
ders, which Is a very expensive way
of selling goods. for which the Gus
toner must pay We sell, with
few exceptions, for cash, losing
no bad debts whatever. We do q
wholesale and a retail business.
We do a large retail fresh meat
trade without having to charge u
big shop rent up to that depart
menr.
Sd: We have ten horses used exclu-
sively in delivering goods with five
wagons on the road all the time,
getting out orders promptly and in
good condition.
Finally: We have the largest
line of first class goods in North
eastern Pennsylvania. Our prices
are the lowest we have heard of
anywhere and our delivery system
is now perfect. Until March 1st we

There are many watching the growth
of the fund with interest, and many
letters, some without enclosures, are
sent to The Tribune, commencing it Cor
the good work it is doing. A few of
these letters are from business men
who evidently do not see the differ
ence between writing congratulatory
letter and enclosing something more
substantial than kind words.
1t should be borne in mind that the
Young Mems Christian association is
sadly in need of money; it needs this
money to swell a depleted Finishing
and Furnishing Fund, and The Trib-
une offers its columns and business
department as a medium between the
giver and the beneficiary.
That's plain, isn't it?
If you understand the matter pay
your share Of the debt of the communi-
ty by subscribing cents, or % cents,
or 81, or $l0-whatever you can afford.

DIR. TALMAGE'S LECTURE.
Told of His Trip Around the World at the
ErOthinghnm.

Rev. 7. Dewitt Talmage. d. D., de-
livered lecture on MY Journey
Around the World" at the Frothing-
ham last night before a fair-sized au-
diehce. Or, Talmage is no longer 4
young man, hut he possesses II kindly
face and expressive eyes that light up
his face when he becomes animated.
His voice is loud and resonant, but
rot particular ly pleasing, and his ges-
lures are few and of very uncon-
ventional knid. At first they seem de-
cideGly awkward, but as the speaker
progresses with his theme his ges-
lures seem to lose their awkwardness
and become natural and fitting. DR..
Talmage has Il peculiar trick of break
ing off abruptly when he reaches the
climax of some of his impassioned
periods. as if suddenly overcome by the
emotions that follow in the train of
the sentiment he is discussing. He does
it impressively and it usually has the
effect of imprnting the thoughts on the
mind of his auditor in a most forcble
manner.
Beautiful Word Painter.
He is eloquent in a masterful way,
ana can paint word picture in which
the lights and shadows appear in lam
guage expressive but delicate. His
vocabulary and store of information
seems limitless. When Dr. Talmage
appeared on the stage of the Froth-
ingham last night he was accompanied
by Rev. c. f. Robinson, pastor of the
Second Presbyterian church. who said
he appeared not to introduce a man
who was so well known to ALL but
rather as their personal representative
to welcome him among them.
Without preliminary discourse DR..
Talmage began to relate the story Of
his travels around the world and said
that after zig-zagging across the coun-
try he embarked on the bosom of the
Pacific ocean and after seven days
landed at the Sandwich Island,
which was then in the throes of the up
heaval that caused the throne of Queen
Lii to totter and fall and in its place
appear the chair of a president of a
republic.
DOlcs a Good Man.
The speaker described Mr. Dole, now
pfeSlueHl, WHOln he lHtl, as Il, great anu
good God-fearing man and he felt that
the Pacific republic was a perma-
nent institution. America, he said, does
not want it. neither does the new re-
public want America.
The speaker then told of his visit to
New Zealand and Australia, which he
advised young men to make their
home. Wonderful Ceylon drew forth
beautiful tribute and the siege of
Lucknow and massacre at Cawnpore
were vividly and dramatically de-
scribed. His visit to the late emperor
of Russia was told of at length and
he said that the present emperor, whom
he also met at that time, is a good man
in whose keeping the peace of Europe is
safe
From Russia the speaker jumped alb
ruptly to Sandy Hook and drew word
picture of the scene that met his gaze
when he entered the North river.

A TEACHER IN VIEW.
Poushkcepsie Young Lady May DC Placed
in the Training School.

There was a meeting of the teach
ers' committee of the board Of control
last night, its object being to do some
thing with reference to engaging a
teacher for the training school.
Superintendent Phillips was present
and explained to the committee that he
had communicated with about q half
dozen good teachers in different parts
of the United States, but that there is
one in Poughkeepsie that, in his opin-
ion. would fill the bill better than any
other. The recommendation will be
reported at Monday nights meeting of
the board of control.
