GAVE UP THE JOB.
King 4 CIcary Sub-lct the Contract for
Linden Street Approaches.

Linden Street Approaches.
King & Cleary, Of Shenandoah. con-
tractors for the Linden street bridge
approaches have sub-let the work to
Peter Stipp. the well-known local con-
tractor. The consideration is not
known.
1t was freely circulated about city
hall yesterday that King & Cleary quit
in disgust. They took the contract at
very low figure, a trille over $4,000,
which was $4,000 under the city engi-
neer's closest estimate, and as the work
progressed they realized that they
would not be able to cope with many
obstacles and come out ahead. Some
trouble was experienced in getting
stone and a dispute arose over the
dressing of the stone, which Inspector
Peter Ross claimed was not being done
according to specification. A month
ago Mr.. Cleary threatened to throw up
the job and forfeit has bond, so dis
gusted was he with the course Of things.
He, however. continued working as
well as was possible with the limited
supply of stone until Saturday last.
when negotiations with Peter Stipp
were dbncluded. Mr. Stipp's derricks
were being put in place yesterday. and
it is quite certain that no delay will re-
suit from the change.

Co-operarivc Store For All Connected
With Army and Navy.
The army and navy store is one
of the ouriosities of London. It had
very small beginning. The foun-
dation of it was years ago, when
some naval officer, wishing TO have
superior quality of tea, arranged
with some of his fellow officers to
take part of consignment. The
plan proved so satisfactory in this
instance that it was tried with other
choice commodities in bulk, and
finally club was formed for the
purchase of things in quantity and
for distribution to mem berS at cost
price. The club grew and extended
to the army, so that now every Off
cor and nonoom. of tho army and
navy is a subscribed member of the
company or club. One who is eligl'
BILE, having paid his fee and dues,
receives a numbered ticket with his
name on it, which is his certificate
of mem bership and the original
stockholders draw dividends = for
though prices are comparatively
cheap In the great establishments
profit is made Dealing is strictly by
number-that is to say, the clerk or
salesman with whom you have been
preparing q purchase will produce
his tablets and before taking entry
of the articles designated for the
purchase will ask. his pencil poised
expeotantly, Number. if you
please?" YOU reply with number.
Usually this suffices, and the check
is made out, but not infrequently
the name is asked for in addition,
and then the name corresponding to
the number must be given.
1t happens, that goodly part of
the trade of the stores is transacted
with persons who are neither mem
bers nor entitled to be members, but
being friends of members are ac-
corded the privilege of trading on
the NUM- ers of those friends. Deal
ing at the stores is by cash or depos-
it-.that is to say, you can deposit
s1O or $50 or more and trade against
that, the cashier sending you no
toe when you have reached the linn
1t. You can get anything you want
In the stores-dry goods, meat, gro
oeries, provisions, coal, furniture,
linen, millinery, tailoring, tapestry,
eto. You can book a servant or hire
a carriage, prepare for wedding or
arrange for funeral; in short, from
the tea daddy of a few years ago has
grown a great establishment of uni
versal supply. The top floor has
refectory, where one may get
lunch unexcelled in London, and as
the stores are thronged from 10
O'Clock in the morning until E
O'Clock in the afternoon the refresh
ment room is generally fully occu-
pied. Limited to the service of tick
ct holders, the stores may be said to
have an exclusive patronage, and it
