nouncement comes quickly and true
as an echo.
And here we expected a worthy
response, but it came with double
measure. We have cast our lot in
this community, and with each pass.
ing season we expect fuller appreci.
alton.
This being so, how foolish it would
be to sell such Furniture, at never so
low a price, as would leave a linger-
ing sting Of regret. A warp. crack,
a dislocated hinge. things that would
sing in a minor monotone--"Beware
of Wanamaker Furniture"
We have Furniture reputation made
elsewhere to sustain by duplicatingit it
in New York. This marks the levelof
our purpose in the Furniture Trade
Sale. 1t should command your con.
fdence.
Many of the best Furniture makers
were suspicious Of these Trade Sales
years ago. Now they all seek to
be represented, and would consider
it discredit to be omitted
Remember the two great facts:
First. This sale commands $780,.
600 worth Of high grade Furniture
all newly made from latest designs.
Second. The prices will be fifty
per cent. higher as the Fall season
comes on. The midsummer methods
make the cut in prices-there is no
compromise in qualities.

This was directly at variance with Dr. Levy's tes-
t,mony. which gave a great number OF other and

The motion papers show that three months ana
sixteen days after the collision the plaintiff had
another collision. this time with a Brooklyn

The warrant charges that the man vio-

criminal relations with her by force and
threats. 1t is understood that the brute
has knowledge of the proceedings against
him and has armed himself declaring that
he will kill any man that shall attempt
