a great many men throughout
the country, including plenty of
really swell fellows, have got it
into their heads, rightly or wrong
ly-and we are by no means sure
that it isn't rightly-that there is
no reason why any man should
pay more than So. 90 to 50. 90 for
a pair of shoes, and to say the
least, the idea has this foundation
in reason, that excellent shoes are
now made for $500. To pay
$500 to $1,000 for n pair of
shoes is simply throwing away
money, and in many cases this is
done to crafty II mistaken otion
hat none but your favorite shoe
maker is worthy to adorn your
feet. The recent improvements
in the machinery make itpossihle,
as shown by the well known w L
douglas $500 Shoe, to produce
a shoe today that will compare fa
vorablv in style, wearing qualities
and comfort with those offered at
SO. 90, SS. and $1,000 per pair.

Douglas shoes which appears else

1t will be remembered that the
State recently sold its title to the
Catawba F.,IIs canal to Mrs Susan
y BoyISton Of Winnsboro, for
$1,000, on condition that factory
to cost $50, 900 should be erected

from Il very reliable source that
northern capitalists have already
taken hold Of the project and will
repair the canal and build such q
factory there. 1t is said that the

says the names of the inves.

sto'y ee Cruel Treatment at an Orph .,
Asylum.

PoUGHKEEPSIE. n. Y, Oct. H.
There is much excitement In the village
OF Madalin. in Dutchess county. be-
cause Of cruelties alleged to have been
practiced upon inmates of De Peyster
Home for orphan girls in that village.
This home was founded by General J.
watts De Peyster, who bought the COM
modious building and farm upon which
II is situated three years ago and pre-
sented II to the Woman's Home Mis-
sionary society of the Methodist Epis-
copal church with the understanding
that they should maintain II as home
for orphan girls. There are now i7
children in the home. f.. +. George is
the superintendent and his wife is the
matron.
In May of last year May Conklin. 10
years old. committed suicide by eating
Dar's green. II was said that the child
took her life because the matron cut of
her hair, but Mrs. George says that the
girl was a victim Of suicidal mania.
since that occurrence many rumors
nave been rife concerning i'll treatment
of the inmates.
The latest charge made by the vii
layers and indorsed by the village
newspaper is that three girls were con-
fined in a pigpen for As hours and fed
ON bread and water. Superintendent
George said yesterday that the girls
were kept in the pen only eight hours;
that no swine had been in it for "A long
time, and that there was nothing de-
grading about the punishment
Mr.. George says that he is being per-
secuted by the villagers because he in
stituted certain reforms in the way of
ahelishing the unlicensed sale of liquor
and games of chance at horse races at
Madalin.
