The history Of the Dutch crown jew

Laeken leaving the crown jewels at
Brussse's In the care OF a few atten-
dants. Sentries were placed around the
place, but at the most open place there
was no sentry, and here a thief made
his entrance and was able to steal all
the Jewels. For long time a very
high parsonage at court was suspected,
and for many months he was followed
by detectives, while the government
offered reward of $4,000 gulden for
the discovery Of the thief. Almost two
years later, on July rs, 1884, certain

him to retain most of the things

embassy, after which he fled with her
to Philadelphia, and from there set

A Never EnGnq
Exposition

Is continually going on in our
Suit Department. But don't expect
to see gowns exhibited or told
about last week, here this week.
True, our showing is permanent,
but it has a kaleidoscope existence
the scenes change daily, SO do the
color combines. What's here to-
day is not the same as yesterdays s
nor will tomoToW'S be like last
week S, nor next weeks. For want
OF Il more fitting word what is
called STYLlSHNESS is ever here.
At its best now. 1t is collection
of Suits, Costumes. Coats and
Wraps that permits Of no rivalry
either in quality or price. In fact
the single idea Of the whole is
QUALITY FOR PRICE. Superior
ity not price is the key note OF this
stores success.
The BEST jacket that $40. 90 will
buy. The BEST costume that
5000 can purchase. Best always
that's our plan of store keeping.

5.--Few things which have happened

an officer in the regular army, General
Graham's time limit was reached long

has suddenly been changed from a dirty.
disreputable village into a town fragrant

brought about solely by the prohibition Of
alcohol. Since the natives-negroes and a
mixed population-had become victims of
alcohol to such an extent that there were
more drunken people to be seen than sober
ones. the British resident prohibited the
importation Of alcoholic beverages to stop
the evil. Then the native merchants be-
