There's a good deal more
in soap, good soap, than half
the people imagine. Poor
soap is dear at any price,
good soap is cheap the same
way.
You've used Ivory soap
and found it good; people
in the United States have
had the same experience, but
the people over there are al
ways on the lookout for new
things, better new things,
even in soap. They found
it in Self Washing Soap and
we take the cue from our
Yankee cousins.
The Self Washing Soap is
"a pure, white perfumed soap,
good for the toilet or the
wash tub. Good for cleaning
paints or glass, G Cd for any
thing that soap is used for.
it has no chemicals in it to
crack the skin and for that
reason is used in preference
to Ivory soap. 1t sells at our
store for seventy cents a
dozen or four cakes for a
quarter and is cheaper than
Ivory soap.
Worth conSideringyou will
say! We think so and we
believe you will take the
hint and use the Self Wash
ing Soap.
Our stock is not large, be-
cause new soap is not easy to
Introduce even when it is
pure.
You have only to try the
Self Washing Soap to learn
that it is more than the ad-
vertisements say of it. 1t is
pure, that's one thing, purer
than Pears and it is cheap.
To accommodate persons
who find it inconvenient to
visit the store during the day
we have decided to keep
open Saturday evenings.

ON A FREIGHT TO A FIGHT
Referee Campbsll Arrived Late, But
the Pugilists Waited.
Jack Con!cy, who CIni Washington
us His Home, Was knocked Out In
Two Rounds by Jack GiImn.

Hampton Junction, y. j., April d
There was lively scrap here last night
between Jack Gillian, of Easton, Pa, and
JACK Conley, who claims Wa Shingt o.
d. c., us his residence.
The fight did not begin until II 80,
because the referee, Walter Campbell, OF
Philadelphia, missed connections al PLiI-
lip>Gurg, y. j. and had 10 come here On Il
freight train. At least zoo hundred men
and boys came here by the same method
of transportation.
The hail WAS filled, and every one who
went through the doors had to pay ST and
as early as O'Clock standing room was
all that could be had.
A report that the sheriff or Huntcrdnn
county intended to raid the hail and arrest
the principals had no effect on
the enthusiasm of the crowd, and it is ex-
tremeIy doubtful If that official would have
been permitted to carry cut the law If he
had appeared and attempted To make any
arrests. However when Information was
obtained that the sheriff was not ON the
way here, the crowd was much easier.
The long delay or the referee in arriving
acted as a damper. but when ii was an
nounCed in the hall that the freight bearing
him had arrived, there was wild cheering.
1t was after IL O'Clock when the referee
reached the hall. Then Il dispute arose
over minor matters, which nearly ended
in free fight.
When the referee called time both men
sprang from their corners. and the fight
began.
In the first round Gillian landed heavily
with his right and punished Conlcy se-
vercly.
In the second round Gillian landed fearful
ful blow on Conlcy's jaw. and knocked him
out.
That ended the fight in one and a half
rounds. Several thousand dollars changed
hands.
A special train was waiting to take the
sports back TO Easton and Philadelphia.

WORLDS FASTEST CYCLIST
Melvin 0. Dennis, Of Denver, Has
Earned That Distinction.
Chairman Gideon Says the Mccarthy
Matter Is Settled-Sanger and
Hamilton to Race.

Melvin o. Dennis, OF the Denver Wheel
Club, who earned for himself the repu
tation OF being the fastest cyclist in the
world, has heretofore been unknown out
side of his home III Denver, Col. Over
q straight-away course he rode the mile
unpaced in / minute and IL 3-5 seconds.
cutting over seconds off the phenomenal
record held by John Green, of Cheyenne,
and reducing the tandem record of l:lT l-5,
held by Green and Frs well, over seconds.
The latter WAS the fastest time ever made
Oh any machine until Dennis, on his single
wheel, cut it down.
A mile a minute on = bicycle has been
regarded as the highest achievement for
q bicycle rider. For two years people have
marveIed at the nerve shown by Charles
Murphy, the racing crack, who proposed
to have boardwalk built between the
rails OF the Penns ylvania Railroad and
ride a mile paced by fast locomotive III
one minute. He is still talking of this
project and the first nail has not yet been
driven i'll the boardwalk.
When spoken TO in regard to the trouble
with Chief Consul Mccarthy of the Colorado
division, over Hamiton's recent unpacei
record, which was disallowed by the
board, Mr.. Gideon said: Il have really
nothing more to say i'll this matter, the af-
fair being settled and done with. Ham,
UtOn'S record was thrown ASIDE at the
meeting of the Old racing board at Balt-
more, Just before the meeting of the Ma
tional Assembly, and that settles the mat
ter. How can we give Il man credit for an
unpaced mile in minutes 20 seconds wien
be is paced to the tape by quad?'
This is what President Cleveland has
to say regarding the bicycle: The iDflu-
ence of the bicycle is broader than would
be imagined until the matter is looked
Into. Ii permeates our whole government,
and is making itself felt in no uncertain
manner in our social world. Its benefits
are many, and so long as the riders them
use, i am certain my opinion, no matter
whether ii should be favorable or other
wise, would have no effect upon its gen
cral use. l only regret that am not built
upon the accepted plans of successful
biCyclist."
Walter Sanger, the crack Milwaukeeracer,
has accepted the challenge of W. W. Hamll-
ton for a match race. The articles of
agreement will probably be sisned i'll few
days by bolh riders. 1t is to be hoped that
the race will settle the dispute between the
two over the NJ. and W. trophy.
Charleston, S. c., which has the reputa-
ton OF being most conservative city in
relation to wheeling, enjoys the distinction
OF having more women cyclists than men.

gan: Your telegram at hand. DO you

Use two weeks ago to box this man? Be-

stick a pin in il. Hoping the police will
cut short your professional career by Civ
ing you six months twice a year, remain,
"TIMOTHY HURST.

and when he recovered from the shock he
showed the letter to friends and asked
for advice. Some told him To hunt UP
Hurst and Swing on him." while others
told him to consult the postal authori-
ties. Steve has not as yet decided
which TO do, but thinks he will cause
Hurst some trouble for improperly using
the mails.
