The Presidents Mother.

There was one dear old ladyiu this town
yesterday, and every mother in the land,
and every son and every daughter, was be
atified and beautified in letting bis or her
heart Sooutto her. Werefer to Mrs McKin-
ley, sr.. who was here amongus justlike any
other dear old mother, eighty-seven years
old, but active and com Portable, and filled.
naturally and properly enough, with the
greatest ant sweetest pride in the world
We believe the new President did not kiss
his mother before the assembled thousands
in front of the Capitol. Perhaps he re-
serves that happiness for the privacy of
home. But we hope the report is true that
Mr. Mckinley intends to keep this vener-
able lady by his side, whether he is Presi-
dent or private citizen, until the day of
her death He will be a better President
If he does this; for who, whether he is
high or lowly, appreciates fully the extent
to which his life and character are influ-
enced by the good women who surround
him? And what man, high or lowly, does
not realize that this influence is present
with him, beautiful and sweet, always?

AN UNIQUE ACT.
New York's Chamber OF Commerce
Greets Cleveland and McKtnIey.

New YOrk's Chamber OF Commerce
Greets Cleveland and Mckinley.
The New York Chamber ofCommerce was
very anxious to demonstrate its high ap-
probation OF the benefits conferred upon
the commercial interests OF this country,
both at home and abroad, by the honorable
and uncOmpromisingly honest financial
policy" Mr.. Cleveland advocated and in
Sured throughout his entire adminiStra-
tion,' and to that end had requested him
TO permit them to tender him a banquet.
Mfr. Cleveland. however, politely declined
the honor, writing to President Orr, that
all he had done or attempted to do in the
direction of the general welfare des erves
no special manifestation OF approval such
as you suggest, since all this is within the
scope OF the service l owe my fellow Coun-
trymen who have trusted me"
Yesterday the chamber of commerce did
what is an act unique on such an occasion
in sending greeting TO both the retiring
and succeeding President. The telegram
sent to Mr.. Cleveland yesterday read:
THE ChaLlbe of Commerce of the State
of New York, in convention now assem-
blCd. sends you its congratulations and
thanks for having SO faithfully ana sue
cessfully maintained the financial honor
and credit of the United States through
out your entire administration, to the
lasting benefit of the COMMERCIAL inter
ests OF the whole country.
"A E. ORR, President"
President Mckinley received the fol
lowing:
The Chamber of Commerce of the State
of New York tenders its cordial greetings
upon this auspicious casion, and IN the
fulIness of its confidence and hopeful
ness wishes you cheering Godspeed.

Fridays Our Remnant Day.
Special Bargain DaY.

Our store policy is based on let
ting you be your own Judge as to
the goods and quantities you need.
Nobody IS coaxed to buy and no
liked rules govern your choosing
when you do buy. You choose ac-
oording to your requirements. We
cut any length of piece goods de-
sired; we divide certain lots of goods
Tor accommodation which were
intended to sell as a whole. Then,
as you perhaps know, in a line of
Wraps, Underwear, Hosiery,
Gloves, Shoes, ETC., the medium
sizes sell first, leaving US the very
small and the very large sizes.
Then, again, articles become soiled,
marred and otherwise defaced from
handling and displaying-an so
on. From these various sources
remnants accumulate very rapidly
when sales are large, and we can
not push them aside or pile them
up.
Our policy demands their abso-
lutte and immediate clearance in or
der to keep the stocks fresh, bright
and up to date in every particular.
Less than perfect goods or COM
pIete assortments have no place
here.
Hence Friday of each week is
voted to the selling of remnants
fragments, remainders, ETC.; and
they are the genuine, legitimate
sorts, not remnants made for the
occasion, There'1l be a goodly
collection to pick from today, and
for quick distribution we've made
the prices in many cases half and
less.
We shall also offer several bar
gain lots of goods secured express
ly for this occasion at very special
ly low prices.

Mr.. Bryan did not need to feel any of
the twinges of disappointment which
marked the stolid face Of Grover CIeve-
land. Last November over $500, 900 Of
his fellow citizens voted to elevate him to
their highest office. A change Of forty
eight electoral votes, which seems pretty
large number, to be sure, would have
defeated Mr.. Mckinley, and sixty cleo
toral votes cast for Mckinley Were from
States which have nearly always been
Democratic in the past. Moreover, the
election returns show that change OF q
little more than 10000 votes. if dis
tributed among six of the closest States,

The Passing of the Mugwump.

It is a subject OF national congratula-
ton that with the passing of Grover
Cleveland the mugwump retires from
American politics, for some time to come,
at least. He used to be an independent
Republican, so-called, though independ-
ence was a kind OF fad with him, which
usually caused him yirtuously to bend
over backward and indulge himself In
other ludicrous performances. Cleveland
was his demigod, and frequently he helped
Cleveland out. In the last campaign the
mugwump was chiefly gold Democrat.
though some OF him simply returned to
his former Republican company, and took
his high protection medicine without a
whimper.
1t is difficult to point out where the
November election, and the consummation
OF it which happened yesterday. leaves

A reporter recently called at this famous
seat of learning and was shown intothe room
of the President, Prof. Alvin p. Barnaby.
When last seen by the reporter Prof. Barn
ably was in delicate health. To-day he was
apparently in the best of health. Is re-
spouse to an inquiry the professor said:
"Oh, yes, l am much better than for some
time. l am now in perfect health; but my
recovery was brought about in rather .
peculiar way"
'Tell me about it." said the reporter.
well, to begin at the beginning" said
the professor, Il studied too hard when at
school, endeavoring to educate myself for
the professions. After completing the com
mon course l came here, and graduated from
the theological course. / entered the min,
lstry and accepted the charge of a United
Brethren Church at a small place in Kent
County, Mich. Being of an ambitious ma.
ture, l applied myself diligently to my work
and studies. In time l noticed that my
health was failing. My trouble was indiges.
ton, and this with other troubles brought
on nervousness.
My physician prescribed for me for some
time, and advised me to take a change of
climate. l did as requested and was some
improved. Soon after l came here as a pro-
lessor in physics and chemistry, and later
was financial agent of this college. The
change agreed with me, and for awhile INV
health was better, but my duties were heavy,
and again | found my trouble returning.
This time it was more severe and in the
winter l became completely Frustrated. /
tried various medicines and different physi-
clans. Finally l was able to return to my
duties. Last spring l was elected president
of the college. Again / had considerable
work, and the trouble, which had not been
entirely cured, began to affect me, and
last fall l collapsed. l had different doctors,
but none did me any good. Professor Bow
man, who is professor of natural science, told
me of his experience with DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People, and urged me to give
them a trial, because they had benefited
him in a similar case, and I concluded to try
them.
"The first box helped me, and the second
gave great relief, such as 1 had never expert
enced from the treatment of any physician.
After using six boxes of the medicine / was
entirely cured. To-day l am perfectly well.
l feel better and stronger than for years. I
certainly recommend this medicine"
