Why? Because the soles are made of the
best oak tanned leather and are made abso-

outwear any three pair of ordinary soles and
is always flexible, never cracks on the bottom
never gets hard by being wet. The sole being
flexible there is strain the upper, and

be explained in this wise. Those

When about Q year ago the

Co. were applying to the LegiS.
lature of the State of New
Hampshire for leave to increase
the capital stock of the several
corporations for the avOwed pur-
pose of establishing branch mills
In the Southern States, it seemed
to the Sequachee Company that
being essentially a New England
Company, the location of q cot
ton mill might be secured for Sc
quachee and that from the actual
residence of q majority of the
Stockholders, that some coin
pany might be induced at least
to come and examine the place
for2a location.
Looking to that end, circular

rious corporations as we'll as the
stockholders OF the SequaChee
Company, urging combined act

bout the result, aud Offering the
services of the agent here and
the company's officers to furnish

here, was to offer a location in

coRBETT AND BRADY PART.
Dan Stuart. 1t Is Said, VIII Look After
the Fighters Interests.

New York, aug 25-Thcre Were a host
of sports present in the office OF sporting
newspaper yesterday, where it was eX-
pected that arrangements would be com
pleted for the coming fight between Jim
Corbett and Tom Sharkey Dan J. Lynch
appeared early to look after Sharkey's
interests. Neither Corbett nor Billy Brady
were present but in their stead came
Samuel Thall, who stated that "Corbett
would not be able to appear, as he left early
in the day for Baltimore"
After considerable discussion it was de-
cided To postpone the meeting until Thurs
day afternoon next, when both Corbett
and sharkey will be present.
The true significance OF the meeting
came when Samuel Thall officially an
Dounced that Billy Brady had severed his
connection with Corbett as manager. and
in the future the latter would attend TO
his own pugilistic affairs.
There was considerable speculation and
gossip as TO the real reason for Billy Brady
and Corbett parting
"Corbett and j had a long talk last
week when We decided to part" said
Brady last night we are just as friendly
as ever The reason we parted is just
this: l have great deal OF other business

THRIFT OF A CoUNTERFEITER.

from this place, has been sold To Gustayus

er Mrs. Ninger and her children have
left their little house to take up their
residence near the Erie penitentiary, where
Ninger, the prince OF counterfeiters, is now
serving "A slx years sentence for passing
the marvellous specimens OF his penwork
In New York city.
The impress that this remarkable man left
upon the quiet community in which he lived
has been demonstrated by the untiring de-
votion OF his old neighbors To his little
family since his imprisonment. Ninger was
such "A good neighbor and helped 80 much
In the public and religious enterprises Of
the community that his old friends even
cow refuse To believe him guilty OF his
selG-confessed crime.
IL was the belief among Mrs. Ningers
friends that she had been left almost pen
piless after the secret service me n had con-
fisca;ed her bonds and all the money they
could find in the house. on the eve of her
departure, however, she, with the assist
ance of neiGhbor, dug up about So 900
in gold, which the crafty counterfeiter had
buried in the cellar.
1t has recently come 10 light that Ninger,
in all probability, disposed or most Of his
pen-made bank notes by real estate transac-
tions. Henry Reiner. q real estate agent
of III is place, who sold Ninger the cottage
at Flaggtown, says that Ninger made him
n payment OF $1,000 in new $50 bank
notes. This Iuoney was passed readily upon
the hanks, and il wis not unit a fter Ningcr's
arrest that Reincr learned of his exceptional
ability in making "nfties.'' and became
convinced that the notes given him by the
own handiwork.

them as n losing spcculator But it is

and business letters, which are marvels of
