There's Wisdom
in Economy,

And there are different sorts
of economy. The economy
which saves at the spigot
and wastes at the bung" is
worse than no economy at
all.
The truest saving Is to buy
the best your pocketbook
will afford at the lowest
price for which 1t can be
sold.
We buy the best of every
thing.
We sell on such a close mar
gin Of profit that our Gus
toners feel confident that
bottom has been struck.
Hence the active, progress
sive look of things which
some people wonder at.
It's very simple this honest
shopkeeping when you know
how, and the trading public
Will always pin their faith
to an establishment of this
kind.

THOUGHT BRYAN A TRAMP.
Silver Candidate Roughly Handled by
an Illinois Policeman.

Peoria, ILL.,, Oct. 26.-Mr. Bryan got n
rough handling during his visit here. He
was called hobo and thrown out of the
han by burly policeman, whose mortifica-
ton was extreme when he discovered his
mistake.
When the Bryan party arrived at the
Tabernacle the jam was terrific. The pla-
toon of twenty police cleared a way to the
stage door and then formed into two lines
through which the party was to pass. The
crush, however, was so great that the lines
were broken and the crowd surged in.
One man in a macintosh and with
light slouch hat pulled over his eyes and
handkerchief knotted about his neck was
thrown against PatrolInan Herman Damn
and attempted to crowd pass him. Damn,
who wanted to keep the way open for Mr..
Bryan, had been much annoyed by other men
trying to break through the line, so he
caught the man by the neck and threw him
back into the crowd, saying:
mo hobo C an jam through the line that
way
The man went spinning like a tenpin
against the leaders of the advance group,
and, as he struck the main body, his hat
fell Off
Good Lord! that's Bryant yelled Col.
Warner, chairman of the Republican COM
mittee. The patrolman sprang forward
with profuse apologies and gave the gentle
man his assistance. Mr.. Bryan took the
whole Incident good -naturedly.

WITH FLAMES In THE HOLD
British Steamer WorsIey Hal
Reached Her New York Pier.
Her Cargo of Cotton Had Become Ir-
nited, and With Battened Hatches
She Made $50 Miles.

New York, Oct. 26.-The British steamer
worsley Hall, Capt. Cameron. put into
this port this morning with her cargo of
cotton on fire. She was bound from New
Orleans for Havre, and left the former port
on October 16. on October %, at a m,
when the steamer was $50 miles east by
south Of Sandy Hook, during a strong
southerly gale, smoke was seen Issuing from
the ventilators under the bridge, and an
examination showed that the cotton slowed
IN the forward hold, which constituted
the major portion Of the cargo, was ON
fire.
The ship was at once put before the wind
IN order to lessen the draught and the hatch
lifted. The smoke was almost oyerpo wer-
ing, but the Cingalesc sailors, driven by
fear of the ships being consumed and en-
couraged by the example of the officers, set
manfully to work, and managed to hoist
out twenty bales of cotton and pile them
upon the deck.
The ship was rolling with the heavy
cross-sea that was running and soon a huge
wave broke over the sides and washed the
bales overheard. As the work of break
ing out cargo seemed too hazardous in the
face of the high sea, Capt. Cameron, after
consultation with his Officers, decided to
flood the hold. The matches Were bat
tered down, hose was introduced into the
hold and the fire pumps started. The water
came in contact with the fire and produced
steam, which added to the smoke and sick
enlng odor OF the burning cotton poured
into the cabin and drove all bands on deck
AS soon as the matches were battened
down the ship was headed for New York, and
the chief engineer was given to under
stand that the safety of all hands depended
upon the speed with which the $50 miles
were covered. As the water poured into the
| hold, the ship sank down by the head and
took decided list to starboard so as to im-
pedc her progress considerably. The decks
grew warm with the fire, but not unbear-
| ably So
| 1t was found necessary to ba;ten the cabin
ioors as the steam and smoke were stifling
and it was impossible to enter there. When
| the Worsley Hall arrived at Quarantine all
| hands were worn out with the hard work ant
anxiety, but werehappy. nevertheless. Capt
Cameron did not know what course he
would adopt to put out the fire and he may
be compelled to scuttle the ship. This will
| be last resort.
