The situation Is a peculiar W. The
ordnance under which the Wheeling
company operates. Is hat OF the Manu-

controlled by the Wheeling company.
Under Its provisions the company can.
supply only those manufacturing eStab-

the committee recommends adversely,
provides that gas FOR manufacturing

Gently the firm of Smithfield, Wilder 4

retail clothing interests uf Trenton, n.

dorsementS, to close their doors. IL was
a shock to Trenton city and Mercer county,
and was no less a surprise To the outside
World. Arrangements were about TO be-
gin for the sale by law of the goods. when
Mr.. Fredlander stopped the proceedings
by giving the necessary security for the
goods, which consisted of about S23 900
worth of the finest clo:hing for men, boys
and children ever made for the people OF
New Jersey.
Special arrangements Were completed
by Mr.. Fnedlander for the immediate
transfer OF the stock TO Washington 1t

secured at a sacrifice il viii he likewise
sold at sacrifice. The stock is now on
the counters of Fl. Friedlandcr Il Brother
at their store. Ninth and streets north

One wonders that such goods can be
offered for the prices named by Mr. Fried
lander, but when it is considered that il
they had not been brought 10 Washington
they would have hesn sold under th, ham
mer in Trenton, IL is 10 surprise that
mems trousers can he sold for the mere
pittance Of 6S cents: yet that is the price

Cincinnati from Chicago Duhlen had his
berth made up at once. and prepared to 20
to sleep. 1t is n rule OF Manager Ansoii
that his players must come to him and get
their sleeping car tickets. This Ia hlen cii,l
not do. and when The conductor asked
Dahlen for his ticket the shortstop referred
him to Anson. -.4... .- e. ....l,....... ....,..
IF lie wants his ticket let him come and
get it said Anson when the conductor
stated his mission. The man III blue
clothes and silver buttons returned To DaiI.
lei and told him what Auson had SAID.
Dahlen's reply was not couched III parlil-
mentary language. but the import of il was
that Mr. Dahlen had ne present intention of
getting up and asking for the little red
cardboard.
The conductor felt worried, hut he kne%
the rules OF the road. Returning to the
place where the great man OF baseball was
engaged III an argument With free silver
man, the conductor said:
Mr.. Anson. the young man refuses 10
get up. l don't like to make any trouble
but you know I am required to take up
tickets from all those who have berths.'
Wen, you haev my ticket, haven't you?"
said Anson sharply.
Yes. and I'll have to have Mr.. Dab
lens also, or else put him OFF the car"
Well. yoI have my ticket, haven't your"
duty; put him off the car, snapped ..insou,

to uote their condition and make sure
that they are all on hand. Mr.. Dahlen
did not do this, and in taking the action
| did was merely insisting on my rights
and duties as manager OF the team.
Dahlen is possibly not the only Colt
rec;iIcitraut. Pitcher Griffith is not with
the team, and Anson Goes not know why.
tie says that Griffith must give some ex-
planation of his absence or suffer the
consequences.

The SO rate given for the first time In
thiscountryb by Doctor Mccoy yasnot Offered
as an inducement to secure patients. 1t
was given in Washington at a time when
Doctor McCcy's practice was the largest ever
known in this community. There is a diff
ference between offering rate TO sustain
practice and giving a rate as Doctor Mccoy
gave this, for the purpose OF affording those
who felt that they could bot pay his fees
the benefits OF this wonderful treatment
The adoption of this So rate by others
has led to some confusion regarding it's
purpose. Doctor Mccoy insists that his OBJ
