A rare good bargain was the
buying of a hundred dozen
shirt waists. And yru share
the benefits. Shirt waists of
newest patterns in c,.lorings
and cut go to you at a dollar.
Some at$1.75; beauties at $1.25.
The lot is almost gone, some of
the prettiest will not last the
week out.
A new stock of ladies and
mems hose and half hose at
half price. Cricketers flannel,
just what is wanted by men
who try with the wickets, at
low prices. Outing fiannels for
ladies', in beautiful shades.
Such linen duck bargains
were never heard of in Homo
lulu. It's the result of stock
taking = maybe over-buying
has something to do with it
whichever it is you are the
winner. Summer dress goods,
new importations, were never
prettier than now. The weaver
seems to know as much as the
designer these days, and he
puts them together so they
wear. This applies to Dimities,
Organizes and Muslins. These
are in fancies; the plains are as
serviceable.
A whole department of Cor
sets gives you the chance
you've waited for. Prima
Donna, P. d., r. & g. and
ventilated. The price is right.
Navy Blue and Black rain
proof cloth is serviceable for
wraps at this season.
Stock taking affects Turkish
Towel prices the same as every
thing else. This is customers
week in profit sharing.

Amongst the receipts at the
BULLETIN Office today was Ha-
waiian quarter dollar of base
metal.
The minting of the coin is SO
perfect that its spurious character
can only be detected by the ring.
Every fine detail seems to be
stamped exactly like the genuine
"hapaha."

sort of stuff the college bred dude was
made Of" He is'now.3O years old and is
worth 500, 100000 just $1,000 900 for
every year of his life.
Young Letter calls himself n self-made
man. .and in sense he is With the firsS
million he purchased n large and varied
stock of experience. He bought it in
large chunks and profited.by II. Then he
turned it to good account. He cornered
the market in experience. He had Sc
cured all there was to be had, his money
WAS nearly all gone, and then he began
TO realize on his investment. He began
unloading large blocks of experience on
others and realized R handsome profit.
To day he is the king of the Chicago
wheat pit. He went into the deal six
months ago novice. He now holds all
the cards. The veterans who in other
times have won through sheer force OF
money. and have slaughtered opponents
in the grain arena without mercy OF

THE ANDREWS CHINA COMPANY.
A Splendid Business That Has Grown
In With the Cit,-

a DPicHuiu business That Has Grown
Up With the City.
The Andrews China Company of which
Mr.. w. L. Andrews, brother of Mavor
w. X. Andrews, is sole owner, and which
has been established at No. ITO Salem
avenue for the past seven or more years,
has one of the largest and most select
STOCKS to be found in the South, all ar
ranged about the store in the most artis.
lie style. The magnificent display of
Aladdin lamps is wonder in itself. Next
comes the various kinds Of imported
china in dinner, tea and breakfast sets.
among them those from Dresden, Lii.
moges and Carlsbad being the most con-
spicuous. The English and American
stock is first class in all respects, espc.
clally the beautiful dinner sets, while the
latest patterns in cut, blown and pressed
glassware are sure to attract attention.
The Ironstone china, uuadruple plated
silverware, and the up to date iardinieres
also add much to the beauty and variety
OF the collection. Bric-a-brac, bisque fig
ures, cuspidOres, onxy lamp tables, wine
sets, punch sets and Lemonade sets, the
last named being of great delicacy in
make and coloring, Mt once excite atten.
ton and admiration, while the white
metal frames in windows and show cases
are beautiful in design and finish. The
supply of japanese, Italian French,
Spanish and American vases is ample for
all demands, while the children's tea
sets and the coarser work in domestic
ware are sufficient to meet all the needs
of the extensive wholesale and retail trade
which the company has long enjoyed.
Roanoke and the State of Virginia may
we'll be proud Of having such large and
growing business, which is largely the
result of the personal energy and enter
prise of Mr. Andrews.

POSTAL BANKS.
Bills Now Before Committees OF Congress
Attract Much Attention.

ACracC Mucn Attention.
The Chicago Records postal savings
bank bill was introduced in the house of
representatives on the opening day OF the
congressional session by Representative
Loriner, the Chicago member of the
mousse committee on p5stotlices and post
roads. The bill was referred at once to
the postoffice committee, according to the
usual custom. 1t was introduced in the
senate day or two later by Senator Ma
son, who is member of the senate post
olhce committee. 1t is upon these COM
mttees that attention must center for the
present nj those Interested in the passage
of n law for the establishment of the pos.
tai savings bank system. The earnest agi-
tation among the people has forced upon
all the members of Congress cons dera-
tion of this subject. with the result that
1T is discussed in Washington to an ex
tent that it never has before. The chair
man OF the house committee is an oppc-
ntnt of the postal bank idea, but other
leading member s are friendly to the plan.
The first and, indeed. the severest test of
strength, therefore, must come in the
postoflice committee. If IL postal savings
bank bill is reported favorably by that
committee and brought to Il vote in the
mouse, there Can be but little doubt of the
outcome on the floor. Fortunately, as
the result of popular agitation, and be-
cause of the aggressive spirit which the
friends of the measure in Congress are
manifesting. the subject is one tht t can
not be ignored or pigeonhoed. Never
before has the number of members act
lively interested in the success of this sub
iect been so great.
Sentiment in favor of postal savings
banks seems to be even stronger in the
senate than among the members of the
holse. 1t is expected that bill will be
reported from the senate committee with
out great difficulty, with the chances
good for its passage through the senate.
The more that members of Congress,
and especially of the postonice commit
tees, can be made to feel individually the
deep interest OF the public in this matter
the more likely they will be to take early
action looking TO the establishment of the
postal savings bank system.-Chicapo
Record.
