FRIDAYS
OUR REMNANT 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
fixed rules govern your choosing
when you de- buy. You choose
according to your requirements.
We cut any length of piece goods
desired; we divide certain lots of
goods for accommodation, which
were intended to sell as a whole.
Then, as you perhaps know, in a
line of Wraps, Underwear, Hos
iery, Gloves. Shoes, ETC.. the me-
dium 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-and SC
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 stock fresh, bright
and up to date in every particular.
Less than perfect goods or COM
plete asso1ments have no place
here.
Hence Friday of each week IS
devoted to the selling of rem
nants-fragments, ,remainders, etc,
and they are the genuine, legiti-
mate sorts, not remnants made for
the occasion. There'll be a goodly
collection to pick from today, and
for quick distribution we've made
the prices in many cases half and
less.
We also offer several bargain
lots of goods secured express
ly for this occasion at very spe-
cially low prices.

Unnecessary Alarm.

The New York Evening Post expresses
uneasiness over some features of the tariff
agitation already precipitated by the near
approach OF the extra session. 1t refers
to an alleged intention on the part Of the
House Ways and Means Committee to
adopt measures calculated to prevent i'm
porters from seizing the privilege of the
hour and stocking up before the new tariff
can become operative, and says: whether
the importers are TO be sent to Jail or
whether their goods are to be confiscated
after they arriveis not known" The Even
ing Post is also alarmed for fear the prop
osition to impose discriminating duties on
merchandise imported in foreign bottoms
may be adopted. 1t likewise is inclined to
be hysterical on the whole subject of the
protective tariff, for the imposition of
which upon the American people it will
share full responsibility with all the un-
believers in protection who nevertheless
worked tooth and nail to secure the cleo
ion OF a President who was and is the
apostle of that fiscal policy.
Although our position of Consistent De-
nocracy renders US opposed to the prin-
riple OF protection equally with the Even
ng Post, we are not inclined to fear some

The Yale juniors who sent flag and
letter to Prizefighter Corbett telling
him to ''go in and win" have caused the
faculty much trouble. According to their
statements, the fact that the letter is in
dicative of the sentiments of Yale College
amounts almost TO blasphemy. The climax
will be reached when the blue siiken flag
bearing the word yale" in big white
letters flutters in the breeze produced by
biting prize fighters. Just why Corbett

this disturbance is not thoroughly un-
derstood. For years the dignified in
