 THE KAUFMAN BAZAAR.
 In the wonderfully prosperous career of The Kaufman Bazaar it has never had a more handsome or magnificent Fall opening than that inauAurated this morning, and which will continue tonight and to- morrow.
 The Kaufman Bazaar, one o' the most fashionable and popular houses in the city, occupies handsome two-story brick on Second avenue, between Main and Pine streets.
 At noon a GRAPHIC reporter visited the Bazaar, and the scene which he beheld there was as one from fairy land. The decorations were on the Japanese style. Japanese sun shade and lanterns hung in arclles from the ceiling. The shelves and counters were filled with handsome goods of the latest patterns and colors. One feature in the dress goods depaI tment which eicited ad- miration from Che lady visitors to the store were the novelties i'll p,aids. This stock of the Bazaar in this line of goods can not be excelled.
 As usual, the Bazaar this season carries magnificent line of cloaks and wraps. These goods range in quality from the cheap to the most costly grades. \ line of the cloaks carried in stock were made especial lY for the Bazuar.
 A leading feature at the Bazaar is it's millinery department Special intention is given to this depart ment. and none but millincrs with established repntntions fertasfe and style are ever employed; hence the great popularity of the Baznar's millinery department with the fash ionable people of this section.
 The millinery business, this season, is under the management of Miss Lisa Muller, and it was never in bet ter hands, as is attested by the eX- quisite display of ladies headware on exhibit today, most of which shows Miss Mullers skill as designer and trimmer.
 Today the Bazaar's millinery de- partment is simply beautiful. Over head, in circular form, are innumera. ble Japanese lanters of gorgeous colors, and in the center of these is D Japanese snn-shade. The room was lighted by gas, and the effect of the brilliant lights blending with the gorgeous eolors of thc hats was ia- describahly beautiful.
 There were hats and bonnets of every imaginable style in color and shape. 4 magnigcent Gainsborough, in castor and white, with Bird Of Paradise and steel ornaments, at tracted great attention. Another beautiful hat was one on the Gains boro order, in the new shade of pur- pie and white. The imported hats were of great beauty.

large pieces Of free-lunch meats. When she pro-
tested against this work to her husband she said,
he replied that "he had not married her to put her
in a glass case, and that she'd either do the WORK
leave" .
Gloster denied his wifes allegations, ana sa'h
that the whole trouble caused by his mother
in-law and his wfe's relatives. He did not go out
