Is 1t Not
A Fact

That you cannot purchase
flrst-class goods at prices for
which third-rate goods are
sold?
How temptingly the cheap
plated stuff is made up and
how fluently the dealer stuffs
you about it being JUST AS
GOOD.
How often you make the
sad mistake to take his bare
word for it, purchase some
thing, and in SO very short
a time you find that 1T was
not quite as good as his word,
in fact no good at all.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1896-02-27
It Is Not
Reasonable

To suppose that a dealer who
knows his business, who
knows values, as no novice
can know them, would
charge you for his knoWl-
edge. knowledge of goods
makes it easy for him to pur-
chase right; and to sell right.
We claim to carry the best
goods known in our various
lines, and quality considered
sell them lower than most
houses in our line of trade.
1t is quality we brag on; 1t
is the backing we give our
goods which make them
right to you, for there IS no
question but what our
guarantee means ABSO-
Lutte RELIABILITY.

s. But about great seals, Mr..
Jacobsen" questioned the reporter
Have YOU been INDUCING IN the
pastime of getting such things into
shape during your travels?"
Not at all. 1t was only few
years ago that [ knew [ could do
anything in that line. [ am an
expert bookkeeper by profession,
but the confinement does not agree

"How long did it take you to
design the great seal submitted to
the committee and now being con-
sidered by them?"
''Not over a week. You see, 1t
takes some time for me to gather
ideas and then concentrate them
and make an harmonious setting OF
the whole"
"Does it require any special
preparation in arranging a ball
argent on a staff sable or does 1t
come to you spontaneously
II do not quite catch your mean
ing" said the designer.
"What l wish to ascertain is
whether the ability to arrange Jesse
points and field verts comes to you
as a gift, or do you first get your
system in condition for the attack
by dieting YOURSELF"
1.-THE ideas, my dear sir, come to
me in quite the regular way, and
often [ do not know they are here
until I consult the guides"
"You are not, then, like some
literary men, who, when preparing
an article for publication refrain
from banqueting and overlooking
their stomachs. Take myself, for
instance. When | was writing

''I guess SO, but you must under

nothing to suit your fancy L can

"By the way, Mr. Jacobsen, have
you thought what you will do with

II have not; Pm afraid to think
of it. You see the prize has not

SITUATION IN TERSE TIPS

The Silver Leaders Desire as Short Conyen-

HARRIS IS PERMANENT CHAIRMAN, SURE
HARRIS IS PERMANENT CHAIRMAN, SURE
In All Probability the Silver Delegations
From Nebraska and Michigan Will
Be Seated-What Teller Wrote
Senator-Short Platform.

Chicago, ILL.,, July 2.-(Special.) )-Bets
are offered here that Bland will be NOM
mated on the first ballot The Boies men,
though, are working hard. The friends
of John r. Mclean of Ohio, headed by
D. McConyille, are booming him, con-
fdently predicting he could carry Ohio
over Mckinley.
Daniel, Stone and Bryan are all
spoken of for the temporary chairman
ship.
1t is certain now that Harris will be
permanent chairman.
The silver leaders desire as short a
convention as practicable. To that end
together as early as possible, SO all pre-
liminaries may be arranged.
1t is known on the inside here that a
prominent United States senator has a
letter from Teller wh. h.ch may be given
out for publication tonight, to the effect
that he thinks it would be unwiSe to
nominate him (TelleD and that he be-
lfeves all who earnestly desire silver
should support the democratic nominee
on straight silver platform.
1t is the consensus of opinion here that
there will be very little in the platform
other than the silver plank. The tariff
will be let alone.
Each delegate Will nave SIX seats at
his disposal in the convention, each
national committeeman fifty, the press
1000 and the Grand Army of the Republic
$780, to be sold.
Delegations will occupy seats in the
convention by some system which the
national committee refuses to give out,
but 1t will be seen to that the silver
delegations are fairly treated.
1t is understood that the gold delega-
tions will act as a unit and 1t Is the de-
sire that the silver delegations do the
same, to the end that there may be no
doubt of straight silver platform and
q nominee known throughout the coun-
try to be in full accord herewith.
The silver delegations from Nebraska
and Michigan will in all probability be
seated. The territories will each get six
votes in the convention.

gineer Worthy Citizen.

Hartselle, July 2.-(Special) )-Shortly

badly torn up.
Wreeking crews from Decatur and Bir-
mingham reached the scene later in the
| morning and the work of clearing the
| track proceeded with dispatch
| The explosion Is thought to have been
| caused by low water. Mr.. Jones, who
| survived his injuries a short time, being
| the only one of the three not killed out
right, was one of the most reliable en-
gineers in the service of the road, and
the engine was in first-class condition
when 1t started on the fatal run. All OF
the dead men lived in Birmingham and
their bodies have been sent thither.
Superintendent w. M. Newbold and
Trainmaster John r. Wheeler went to
the wreck from this city, and directed
the work of clearing the track.
The remains of the unfortunate vic
Tins were brought to this city and pre-
pared for burial by the Warner & Smiley
Undertaking company.
Mr.. A. S. Jones, the dead engineer,
lived on Sixteenth street and Avenue d,

trated over the sudden and horrible
death of a loving and devoted husband
and father.

lodge of Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers, Birmingham Lodge No. 112, In
dependent Order of Odd Fellows, and
Fidelity Lodge No. IS, Knights Of

His remains will be inferred in Oak
Hill cemetery this afternoon at $3.50
o'clock.
Dan Atkins the fireman, lived in this
city, and had been firing on the Louis
time He was known here by some as
Ike Patrick.
L. Jenkins, the brakeman, also lived
here and had been In the employ of the
Louisville and Nashville for long time.
The remains of Atkins and Jenkins
are at the Warner e. Smiley undertaking
rooms, and will be buried today.
The scene of the wreck was one and
half miles south of Hartselle and
seventy-two and G. half miles north OF
this city.
AT 1 o'clock this morning inquiry OF
the train dispatcher failed to elicit In
formation as to whether the track had
been cleared or not.

LAST DAYS PROCEEDINGS.
There Was Large Falling Off in Attend
ance-Old Officers Reelected.

There Was Large Falling Off in Attend
ance-Old Officers Reelected.
Confederate Auditorium, Richmond,
July 2-The final meeting of the sixth
annual reunion of the United Confederate
Veterans was called to order this morn
ing by General Gordon. There was
large falling off in the attendance of vet
Grams, whose places in the auditorium
were well filled by the visitors, both mill
itary and civil.
The cadets of the Virginia Military in
stitute occupied seats directly in front
of the stage, and the seats in the rear
were occupied by ladies and their es-
corts. The absence of delegates and vet
Grams was accounted for by the fact that
they were all down in the thronged city
getting ready to participate in the grand
parade, Introductory to the laying of
the corner stone of the monument to JEFF
ferSon Davis.
Rev. DR.. P. Smith, editor of the Central
Presbyterian. who served on the staff OF
"Stonewall'' Jackson, made the prayer.
General Gordon, in opening the pro-
ceedings, stated that the session would
necessarily be very short one. There
was some business yet to be transacted,
but 1t would be promptly disposed of to
afford all an opportunity of attending
the Davis monument corner stone.
General Gordon, on behalf of the Con-
federate veterans, thanked the people of
Richmond for their unbounded hospitali-
ty. In doing so the general made feel
ing address, in which he expressed the
heartfelt and everlasting gratitude of
every veteran, whether from the north
or south, to the grand people of the dear
old CITY of Richmond and her proud
mother of states, Virginia. He believed
every man, woman and child who came
to this reunion had been made better by
being here. He had nothing but pity for
the man who would say that this great
meeting had been for any other purpose
than for good to the country and to man
kind.
A veteran from Augusta, Ca, was rec
ogniZed, and he presented a memorial
from the Confederate Veterans of that
city asking that the name of the United
Veterans be changed to the Confederate
Survivors association. Delegates asked
that the memorial be spread upon the
minutes and that the adjutant general be
instructed to send copies of 1t to the vari-
Gus camps for action and report to the
next meeting. This was adopted.
An invitation was received from the
Philadelphia brigade asking the Confed-
crate Veterans to attend the reunion of
the blue and the gray at Washington Sep
tember IS, when monument to the bri-
gade is to be unveiled on the field OF An
tietam. General Gordon said this paper
would be spread upon the records and a
copy sent to the camps for action.
DIR. ]. William Jones, chaplain, said he
was opposed to this, for the Philadelphia
brigade was the body that kicked up
row in Richmond about marching behind
. Confederate flag several years ago.
"Dr. Jones belongs to the church that

General Lee concluded a glowing eu-
logism of Jefferson Davis pure private
life, his exquisite courtesy and gallantry
as a soldier, with the declaration that his
dominant characteristic was his fidelity
to principle 1t was well said of him,
HE Bent to None but God"
He came among us as a Roman born
out Of time. 1t was impossible for him to
ask pardon so long as he felt he had done
his duty conscientiously. as he saw it..
and he was never forgiven. One after
another his great comrades entered the
beyond until he stood alone, but he never
wavered. He passed from us stern and
ma jestic figure, broken, but never bent.
General Lee quoted from speech de-
livered by Mr.. Davis in the senate in De-
cember. 1860, In which he declared that
the union was dear to him as union of
fraterllal states. He argued from this that
Mr. Davis was opposed to disunion, and
at the conference called by Governor Pet
tbs of Mississippi of the representatives
in congress from that state in 1860 Mr.
Davis declared himself opposed to seces-
sion as long as the hope of a peaceful
remedy remained.
AS a president, the speaker thought
Mr. Davis may have made mistakes
He was q constitutional ruler, not revo-
lutionary chief, but when the night of de-
feat was darkening and the dismantled
ship of the Confederacy was sinking be-
meath the waters he stood at the helm
to the last.
He referred to the popular demonstra-
tfons of affection which always attended
Mr.iDavis' appearance in public, and re-
ferred with deep feeling to the occasion
when his remains were en- route to Rich
mond for final burial. No conqueroTs
