IN MEMORY OF DOUGLASS.
Movement to Erect a Monument Re
ceiyes Hearty support.

Movement to Erect a Monument Re
ceives Hearty support.
The Lyceum of the Second Baptist
Church was crowded yesterday to hear
a paper By Dr.. o. NJ. Atwood on "Mys-
terious Influences" after which Dr..
James E. Mason Of Rochester, n. Y, rep
resenting the Douglass Monument Asso-
citation of that city, made an eloquent
appeal for funds to assist in erecting a
monument 10 the memory of Frederick
Dou glass.
This movement received the hearty ap-
proval of all present. Rev. DR.. Bishop
johnson offered the following resolution,
which was adopted:
whereas, An association has been duly
organized by the represe ntative citizens
of Rochester, n. Y, to erect a national
monument to the memory OF the greatest
of all negroes, the late Hon. Frederick
Douglass, the pre-eminently gifted and
grandly eloquent apostle of freedom, who,
for more than fifty years, with tongue
of fire and heart OF flame commanded the
attention of the civilized world by his
creative genius aud massive oratOry for
the manumiSSiou of the enchattled slaves;
and
Whereas, Between $4,000 and $4,000
have been contributed Of the $4,000 nee
CesSary to the completion OF his monument,
and
whereas, We have listened with inter
est to the representative OF the committee,
Rev. Dr. James E. Mason, and
whereas, We are fully conscious Of the
invaluable services of the deceased in
behalf of the Afro-American, and are de
sirous of expressing our appreciation in the
most fitting manner; therefore be it
Resolved, That we are heartily in SYM
patty with and do enthusiastically in
dorse this most worthy movement in honor
of our fallen chieftain;
Resolved, That we commend Rev. Dr.
Mason to the generosity of our pbilan.
thropic and patriotic citizens and pledge
him our heartiest financial support

THE COMMITTEES VIEWS.

what about the reports as to the ma
tional committee and how it stands, and
how contests are going to be decided?''
The national committee is made up of
good and trained Republicans, the most of
them of long service and all of them care
full of the party's interests and honor. and
all representative men in their respective
States.
while a majority of the national COM
mittee doubtless prefers some other can
didate from personal choice and party in
terest, it is safe to say that they will give
as fair a hearing TO every contest as will
the committee on credentials or the con-
vention itself.
THE convention at st. Louis, which is
going to be very serious affair, will
result in a showing that the sober judg-
ment of majority of the delegates in that
body will from party interest be in favor
OF some other candidate than Mckinley"
Mr.. Manley OF Maine tonight gave out
the following statement:
Since my statement of week ago there
have been elected forty-six delegates. The
electionsh have occurred in Michigan, Illinois,
Missouri, Arizona, Indian Territory, Yer
mont, Alabama, and Georgia.
They can be assigned as follows: In
Alabama and Arizona two sets Of delegates
have been elected, and they are there
fore placed, as they ought TO be, in the
contested column. Indian Territory, Mtchi-
gan, Missouri, and Illinois are placed In
the column for Coy. Mckinley.
The convention in Vermont was asurprise
to the friends Of Mr. Reed They had a
right to expect that Vermont would join
with the rest of New England and send a
delegation pledged to the support of the
New England candidate. The delegates
selected unquestionably prefer the nomina-
tion of Mr.. Reed.
How far they will feel bound by the
declaration OF preference for Gov Nc
Kinley by their convention time alone will
determine. 1t must be remembered that
the convention did not instruct the dele
gates, and left them free to exercise their
own Judgment.
Preferences and even instructions in the
past have not uniformly governed the dele
gates, because the conditions under which
they were passed did not exist at the time
the delegates were called upon to discharge
the duties intrusted to them. The situa-
ton today is as follows:
For Mr.. Reed :. =. 162
For Gov. Mckinley :. :. :. :. :. =. 2T6
For all ,other candidates :. =. :. :. PIT
Contested and doubtful :. :. =. =. 80
Nermonb 3
This makes 571 delegates elected and
leaves 16 yet to be chosen. The contest is
not settled and can alone be determined by
the delegates when they meet in conyue-
ton at st. Louis.

UnderSelling the
cash stores and
giving credit.

Better and better-bigger and
bigger every day.
Saturday was the busiest day
we've mad since we came.
We ought to be. We are doing
something that was never before
attempted-selliug clothing on
credit for less money than the
cash stores ask.
Just now we're selling our reg
ular Mems $40 and Sl2 Cashmere
Suits for So. so. We say our reg
ular $40 and S12 suits, because
they were made by the manu-
facturer who supplies US year III
and year out, and are just like
the suits which we buy OF him to
sell at these prices. But this
time we took such quantity that
we got them at a big concession
and we're selling them for $3.50
cash or credit.
They are in all sizes-siugle or
double-breasted. We can fit any
man from this lot-no matter
how small, how large, how short
or how tall. We guarantee the
fit, too-and we say ''if the suit
isn't entirely satisfactory bring it
back and we will make it so or
refund what money you've paid
on it-or all of your money, If
you've paid all cash for it."
We shall leave it to you how
you shall pay for it-and how
large the payments.

THE OLD TESTAMENT .

But what of the Old Testament? 1t was
proved by the fulfillment OF the prophecies.
Uneduca ted men who couldonly have spoken
by inspiration predicted what would be-
come OF Tyre and Babylon, then i'll al
their glory, and their prophecies have come
to pass, and are being still verified The
present condition of the lSraelites was
current proof of the divine authorship OF
the Old Testament.
The crowning proof OF the value or the
Old Testament was its eXactitude as TO
time and place of the foretold Messiah. Its
sanciity was proved by the protection which
had guarded it through all the centuries.
Gelogists had attacked Genesis, but Genesis
remained; they attacked Joshua, but that
book was still here, and they attacked
the story OF Jonah, but that remained as
an eternal example that God, when he COM
mands, must be obeyed, even If natural
laws are to be contravened.
What do the agnosticS give In place OF the
Bible? Nothing but sarcasm and irony AID
sneers They supply no medicine for the
destruction of medicine, but essays 10
| prove that medicine Is not needed for the
suffering They have built no charitable
institutions, no hospitals, 10 asylums. Its
| only business is TO clench its hands against
| Christianity, and to assail 1t.
Referring TO the infidels he said: ''Get out
of the way ye miserable paupers or the
| universe, and crawl into some rat hole OF
| everlasting nothingness.
The answer to this falling of the infidels
| DR.. Talmage drew from the institutions of
Christianity.
In conclusion he congratulated the so
ciety on its work, and the fact that it had
introduced the word of God into nearly
all the homes of the great city.

There is no place in the
world where as much care is
taken of the building of
floors as in those cities
where the taste of the peo-
pie has been educated up to
rugs. There is a bit of clean
illness and richness about a
polished floor with a rug
thrown over it that is lost in
a room covered with mating.
The days for expensive
rugs is past and now anyone
can own one, the price de-
pending entirely upon the
size. The cost of manufac-
ture has been so reduced and
the competition SO spirited
that a rug may be had for a
song. Our stock comprises
all the latest designs in
English and japanese manu-
faCture; their like at the
price has never been seen
here. We've carpets and
borders too.
In our dry goods depart
ment you will find Door
Slips, De Long Hooks and
Eyes in white, black and
gold-small things, you say,
but nevertheless useful.
Collars and Cuffs, feather
stitch Braid, both white
and colored and an endless
variety of Ceylon Shifting
Flannels. These goods are
all cheap.

turn, if possible, should be by some 9th

be depended upon to furnish the most
accurate and reliable directions as TO
roads for half days ride at least from
their homes. In spite of all the informa-
ton that he can gather, though, the
tourist will often find himself at lone
~ crossroads corner, perhaps gazing at
a signboard that is worse than useless to
him because the unknown names it bears
only confuse his dim idea as TO the di-
rection which he should take.
This is one Of the disagreeable fea-
lures of wheel touring, but the long
coasts down strange hills, the we'll rel
ished dinners at country hotels, the aft
ernoon siestas by the roadside, the max

are some Of the amenities that lend to
the sport a charm that, once expert

Thomas Hardy, the novelist, is thus
described by a writer who has recently
met him: ''His cheeks are slightly
sunken and his skin is sallow, speaking
of sedentary labors, the midnight lamp
and of a constitution that could not
support the sustained strain of an ardu-
Gus task Yet his eyes tell another tale
and possess that phosphorescent light
that indicates energy. The solution of
these contradictory remarks must be
that he is mentally as robust as he is
physically delicate.
