VIEWS ACROSS THE ooSrIsEsT.
NAnC6TTA, WASHINGTON,


AUG. 4th, 1896.
MIR. EDITOR-No doubt you and our
friends are DESTROYS of a second letter
from my friend, Mr.. G. d. Shannon,
who has preceded me with The first let
ter for your perusal through the col
lmns OF the RECORD. Now | will en-
deavor to follow him and give you u
brief description of my first trip across
the continent and what l CHANGED to
see from the car window, as the train
flew on from one place of interest to
another. First, permit me to state that
l am a great admirer of natural scenery
and will note some places Of beauty TO
those who read this letter.
1t was just four weeks ago this morn
ing when my friend George and | bid
good by to friends and loved ones and
started for The far West. After trans
acting some little business in Philadel-
phia, we took The train for New York,
and preparatory TO leaving there, we
filled a telescope to its greatest capacity
with quite IA variety of canned goods,
such as any hungry fishermen would
like to sit down TO. Friend George says
bright, get some preserves" As he
likes sweet things, l bought pickles,
and | have not heard the last OF those
pickles yet. Well, L am wasting time.
We are now off, flying along up the
Hudson river N the N. Y. Central to
Troy, thence Delaware and Hudson
Railroad along the western shore of
Lake Champlain on into Montreal,
Canada. Here we make our first stop
off to rest up for the long trip which
still lies before us. We took a good
nights rest at a hotel, then the street
cars for Mt. Royal, which lies back OF
the city and rises to a height Of 700 feet
above the sea level.
We there walked around and took an
observation of the city from the noun
tain top, then hurrying from there we
took train for Lachine, and ''shot the
rapids'' as it is termed, when you flying
over some great water fall, down into
its f0aming depths below. Well, you
may thing that VT took a running start
and plunged in head first, by the way |
have expressed it, but NO, we went
through OH Il large iron steamed which
runs down the st. Lawrence river.
And if any of our friends take the Trip
to Montreal, lei them bear in mind,
that the Lachine Rapids is one Of the
most noteworthy places TO visit or shoot.
Of course our readers are cOnversant
with the fact, that Montreal is the chief
city of Canada, its situation l need not
mention, only, that it is on the site of
the ancient Indian village Hochilaga,
which was visited by Jacques Cartier in
the year 1885, and about $50 years ago
a trading post was established there by
the French, which was a chief centre
for the fur trade for u long while. But
civilization stretched out its mighty
arm, and now where once was a dense
wilderness, is reared a mighty city.
The wild man (Indian) who then roam
ed those dense forests, now tills the
soil, and the bear which George spoke
of, now are driven back or north and
west, because there are plenty of them
here. l will leave you now in Mon
treal and think that George will follow
me in line toward the Pacific ceast.
Truly Yours,
E. Z. BRIaHT.

LOGICAL

The existing conditions of
this sale are perfectly reason
able. The statements might
seem absurd to the casual
reader. The following are
among the reasons why aoe
and not the sellers command
the prices
First Large manufacturers
are not infallible-they make
mistakes, get too many goods.
By placing all surplus with
us theyconcentrate their losses
at a single point, do not de
moralize their general trade
and make a profit on all other
sales. They lose heavily on
sales to us to make generously
from everybody else.
Second. 1t pays to run at a
loss during a dull time, that
machinery may be employed
and an organization of hands
kept intact. This cause is pro-
life in our Furniture Bargains.
ThlrM. Some Furniture COM
panies are heavily bonded.
When short of cash to meet
interest it is better to f~inancier
on merchandise than to Dor
row money. Thus come many
of our cheap lots.
Fourth. To be represented
in our stock gives national
prestige to Furniture manu-
facturers. To maintain con-
tinuity of business throughout
the year some of the best man
ufacturers are glad to sacrifice
on Furniture for the Trade
Sale.
The Penn's Grove record., 1896-08-14

Ito transform dull and life
less August into brightness
and activity. In just that lay
all its possibilities of success.
This Trade Sale has no imita-
tors because it demands SO
much preparation, so much
cash, SO much faith in the in
telligence of the buying pub
lie. None other has yet APP
peared with cash, courage and
continuity enough to compete
with us in the expression of
our August Furniture ideas.

PRICES

There is a round one HuN-
dred Thousand Dollars worth
of Trade Sale Furniture that
was bought at exactly half
regular wholesale prices. 1t
shall be retailed at exactly
half. This applies to some of
the finest Furniture, which is
shown for the first time in this
Trade Sale.
Prices on all the balance in
usual retail grade would aver
age fifty per cent. higher.
Careful examination of the
pieces of Furniture and a
study of values will make our
price statements perfectly
clear.

A Soubrette's Life.

New York, Aug. S1.-Among the
merry hearted soubrettes who amused
the public at one of the Coney Island
resorts yesterday was Mrs. Mile
Azevedo. just before she went on the
stage she received telegram from the
Spanish consul in New York. announc-
ing with official brevity that her hus-
band, Raymond Azevedo, had been
shot and killed in Cuba, but when and
where and whether by revolutionists
or royal troops, the dispatch did not
state.
Mrs. Azevedo said her husband was
a mine operator, 81 years old. He was
Cuban, but when she met him in
San Francisco year and half ago he
had been in business there for several
months. She was living in the same
city with her parents, her maiden name
being Helm. After a courtship of two
months they were married. Business
called Mr.. Azevedo East, and his wife
came with him. In the winter he was
summoned to the Azores. He left his
wife well provided for, and said he
would return in less than four months.
Since then Mrs. Azevedo said she had
received no word from him. Her
funds giving out and having good
voice, she went on the stage to support
herself.

It Was Taken from the Base of Pill.

lar and the Pillar Still Staod.
SamarcaE is great and noble city
towards the northwest, inhabited by
both Christians and Saracens, who are
subject to the great Kaan's nephew,
Caidou by name; he is, however, at Bit
ter enmity with the Kaan. I will tell
you of a great marvel that happened at
this city.
1t is not great while ago that Siga-
tay, own brother to the Great Kaan,
who was lord of this country and of
many an one besides, became a Chris
tan. The Christians rejoiced greatly
at this, and they built great church
IN the city, in honor of John the Bap-
tist; and by his name the church was
called. And they took very fine stone
which belonged to the Saracens, and
placed it as the pedestal of column in
the middle of the church, supporting the
roof. 1t came to pass, however, that
Sigatay died. Now the Saracens were
fun of rancor about that stone that had
been theirs. and which had been set up
in the church of the Christians; and
when they saw that the Prince was
dead, they said one to another that now
was the time to get back their stone.
by fair means or by foul. And that
they might well do, for they were ten
times as many as the Christians. So
they got together and went to the
church and said that the stone they
must and would have. The Christians
acknowledged that it was theirs indeed,
! 70, 1o, Of
and so he quit. Howbeit, the others
replied that they never would give up
the stone for anything in the world.
And words ran so high that the Prince
heard thereof, and ordered the Chris
tians either to arrange to satisfy the
Saracens, if it might be, with money,
or to give up the stone. And he allowed
them three days to do either the one
thing or the other.
The Saracens would on no account
agree to leave the stone where it was,
and this out of pure despite to the
Christians, for they knew well enough
that if the stone were stirred the church
would come down by the run. So the
Christians were in great trouble and
wist not what to do. But they did do
the best thing possible: they besought
Jesus Christ that he would consider
their case, SO that the holy church
should not come to destruction, nor the
name of it's Patron Saint, John the Bap-
tlst, be tarnished by its ruin. And so
when the day fixed by the Prince came
round, they went to the church betimes
in the morning, and 10, they found the
stone removed from under the column;
The foot of the column was without sup
port, and yet it bore the load as stoutly
as before! Between the foot of the col
umn and the ground there was space
of three palms. So the Saracens had
away their stone, and mighty little joy
withal. 1t was glorious miracle, nay,
it is so, for the column still so standeth,
and will stand as long as God pleaseth.

ALeopard Hunt in Africa,

Started out hunting at o'clock. Came
upon small herd of mswala, followed
them carefully, but could not get near
enough to have shot. After an hour
l found that l was not alone in being
interested in the mswala. A leopardess
had stepped in between me and the
game. When / first saw her she was
crouched like cat. Then she moved
stealthily and quickly toward the game.
crept rapidly toward the buck. For
about quarter of mile l moved
stealhtily and quickly toward the game.
l was then within a short distance OF
them, and could family hear the crea-
lures in among a clump Of trees.
was thinking how best to stalk and get
a shot, when the leopardess again ap-
peared about eight yards from me and
close to the mswala. She had cleverly
crept to windward and was now almost
within striking distance. She crouched
and moved her head slowly from side
10 side in order more clearly to see her
game. To get better view she slowly
IA ised her head and sat on her haunch-
es. Then she took still better view by
putting her front paws on a log, which
raised her two or three inches higher.
Then she showed her head and shoul-
ders above the grass, and l succeeded
in putting Snider bullet through her.
She was six feet in length. 1t is a very
rare thug to see leopard at all, and
most unusual to see them in the day
time. The natives were delighted. 1
find the killing Of the leopard raises me
to heroic plane, while, as a matter of
fact, the mere killing of the beast was
as easy as the shooting Of a retriever
