IAN AUsPIclous OPENING.
TT. Foss & Sons's New Store Inspected by
Thousands Saturday Evening.

I. F. Foss & Sons elegant new store
in Monument square was thrown open te
the public for inspection Saturday after
noon and evening and thousands of PEG.
pie awaited themselves of the opportunity
to attend the opening. There was con-
slant stream of people pouring in and out
of the store last evening and on all sides
could be heard words of praise for the
large and beautiful stock of house fur
nishings carried by this firm.
The store was handsomely decorated
with ferns and flowers for the occasion
and an efficient corps of courteous clerks
were in attendance to give all necessary
Information to the people and direct them
to the various departments.
During the afternoon and evening the
Jefferson orchestra, under the direction
OF Il. A. Given, disooursed sweet music
in the rear of the main floor.
Each lady attending the opening was
presented with a charming little souvenir
in the form of celluloid shopping
tablet.
The new store is large and commodious
being $50 feet deep, and comprises four
stories and basement.
The interior Of the building has re-
Gently been thoroughly renovated and is
now as bright and fresh as paint and
tlnting can make it.
Is The many patrons of the firm will GER
tainly appreciate one Of the features OF
the new store, and this is the light.
There are large windows on the Preble
street side of the store extending from
front to rear and 1T is doubtful if here is
"a better lighted place of business in New
England. Nouhing is SO essential in a
satisfactory selection of goods as plenty
of light and the new store is certainly
favored in this direction.
Realizing that many people cannot do
their shopping in the day time the man
agement has made arrangements whereby
at night the store will be brilliantly
lighted by electricity.
From basement to roof the building is
filed with household turni shings and the
immense stock is entirely new, for before
leaving the old store nearly everything
on hand was disposed OF. It would be
hard to find finer or more carefully Sc
lected line of goods, and they are dis
played to the best possible advantage.
Although the firm of T. f. Foss g
Sons, by progressive methods and fair
dealings has built up very largo bust
ness, it will undoubtedly enter upon a
fresh era of prosperity in ethe handsome
new store.

 ElopesS Desersing His Family.

Troy, Kan, Nov. 24.-For two days it has been rhmored that w B. Dever- eauX, late county treasurer, had left the country and now it is positively known he has fled and taken with him a woman, not his wife. In October he settled wi5h Doniphan county as treas urer and gave a mortgage on one of his farms tc secure the payment of a shortage of aboUc $6.000. He was a Keeley graduate before he was elected treasurer and kept sober until ab0u, a year ago when he began drinking and spent money in q reckless manner He was very generous and much of the money that is gone was los. by security debts. Two years ago he lost in two cases $1,7O0 ard $6G0 respectively. Monday he secured about $1 090 in cash by making 9 sale of ',he equity in his I3lcrtgaged farm and town house, went a5 once to g.. Joseph and purchased two tickets for New York ely, taking with him Nelly Delaney, 2 young wo- man who formerly lived in Troy.
 1t is said that Cyrus Leland is loser at least &1 eco. D6vereUx leaves be- hind a wife and several small children, but t is said they are net destitute be- cause farm of 160 acres was long ago secured to the children by their grand father. Deve.eUx was well known throughout Kansas, northern Missouri and Nebraska and was liked wherever he was known.

Chicago. Nov. 24.-1ns last outstand- ing company in the stock car deal will it is said, come to terms by Saturday afternoon This will complete an agreement which is binding for twen- ty-five years.

 As indicating the liberal view pSe- yailing among the American commits sic1ers, one of them said today that he wished American merchants could be brought to realize the futility of shut tins out Canadian goods from the mar kets of the Unt-ed States, when the chief result was to force these goods into the British markets, where they compete with American goods at a much greater advantage than they could obtain in the New York and ether American markets. In his judg ment, it was to the advantage of the United States to compete with Cana | dian goods on it's Cwn ground, rather than to go across the ocean and meet them in competition.
 The commission, which adjourned last Saturday, will resume it's session on Tuesday at II a. n. The two sides held separate sessions yesterday af- terncon, and most Of the time until Tuesday will be given to these sepa- rate meetings The only subject con- sidered was reciprocity. I, is under stood that the item Of live animals is receiving special attention, the traffic in horses, cattle, etc, being eoasidera- ble across the border.
 The prospect of an early settlement Of She Behring sea question was i'm proved by the receipt Of word that the two officials who have been apprais- ing the value of the Canadian. sealing fleet have completed their labors, and are now on their way to Washington.
 A PROTEST FROM BOSTON.
 Bostcn, Nov. 24.-The Boston cham Der Of commerce has protested against any action on the part of the interna- tional joint high commission that will imperil the continuance of the Ca nadian bending privilege. The resolu- ton adopted refers to the present method Of permitting freight in rail- way cars to be sent to eastern or west ern sections of the United States, through Canada and back into the United States, as being of great com mercial advantage to many millions of the American people, and says that for obvious reasons it is opposed by number of the American trunk line roads As it was of immense import anco to the general business interests cf this country that q treaty providing fer reciprocal trade with Canada should be ratified, therefore it was re- solved that the Boston chamber of commerce deprecated the introduction of such conventions into the treaty which the joint high commission has been appointed to frame, believing that r. was not so much a matter of differ e1ce between Canada and the United States as between various transpOrta- ton interests within the borders of the United States.

HETTY GREENS HEART
Her Husbands illness Reveals Thai
 She Has One.

New York. Nov. 24.--A stroke of par alysis which prostrated Edward A. Green and sent him, recluse from his friends, to a secluded apartment has succeeded in bringing to his bedside his wife, Hetty Green, the richest wo- man in America A separation of years that, according to public report has been marked by some bitterness between the eccentric woman magnate and her aged husband, and which has extended to other members Of the fam lily, is apparently at an end.
 Hetty Green. after a diligen. search since she learned of her husbands iIl- ness, located him today for the first time in an apartment on the fourth 1loor of the Cumberland, at Fifth av- enGe and TWenty-second street Tn ten years she has seen him bu- two or three times, and then only upon impor- tart business matters, where his sigma ture as her husband was required.
 At the sick mans apartment ir the Cumberland Hetty Green found her daughter, the child of the man who was rumOred 10 be dying within.
 On October 15, Edward A. Green, who was then living at the Union club, sud- denly disappeared Few of his friends knew that he had been p-ostrated by a stroke resembling paralysis, and those few were requested by MT. Green not to reveal the fact.
 Edward A Green is heir to One-thiTd Of the millions possessed by Het-y Green, who thus provided fo- him ia her will when, ten years ago, she sep arated from him because of his Teck less expenditure of money. At that

Washington, Nov. 24-Members Of
 the Anglo-American joint high com mission, Canadians and Americans, ex- pressed the hope today that the com mission would complete it's Iabor be- fore the Christmas holidays, but they
 are not ye5 willing to say that a treaty will be framed covering the many sub jects of difference between the United States and Canada. Greater progress
 has been made than is generally un- derstood, and rough drafts of some of the articles of the proposetI treaty have been submitted by subcommittee and tentatively approved. These, however, cover the minor questions, and the inn por,art subjects Of the North Atlantic
 fisheries, reciprocity and the Behring sea seal fisheries remain open.
 While the commission treats all statements regarding it's work as un- authorized, yet it is understood that the ques ions of border immigration, mining rights, lake fisheries and the Alaskan boundary have be4n found less difficult Of solution han was expected, and that Q basis Of agreement on these subjects Is in sight ,it not actually de- termined upon. Technically, however, nothing is done until the last act Of rhe commission is performed, so that these,and all ether subjects remain oren until the end.
 As to the Behring sea, the view pre- vails on both sides that a settlement will be reached, and the presence CT two off1cials-one a Canadian and the other an Americ3n-at Victoria, where an inventory Of the Canadian sealing fleet is being E-ade, leads to the beliet that the settlement may be on the basis of wiping out the industry by giving the Canadians some equivalent for the capital invested. A recent official doe ument makes the Behring sea fleet thirty, tut these are small schooners, none of them above a hundred tons.
 Reciprocity and the Atlantic fisher ies continue 70 be IEe most difficult questions before the commission. On reciprocity the commissioners ,lo not express themselves in sanguine terms. The subject is still before 3 sub-coni- mittee. which, however, reports wheI- an agreement is reached, and the full commission approves what has been 6aue. Tneer are So many articles on tariff schedule tkac the discussions have net yet resulted in many agree ments on specific articles or groups of articles Thus far the discussion has been rather free and open articles be- ing considered as they were called up by individual members. While the abrogation of the British preferential tariff is considered by some of the commissioners as essential to any reciprocity agreement, it is said that his view has not been sub mitted in the form Of an ultimatum,
