In stationary the goods are of the finest
quality for correspondence There is an
endless variety of silver novelties and
catchy little ideas in brass and bronze.
'Ye Olden Time" candle sticks in black
iron, quaint and pretty; the ornamental
clocks tick themselves out at lively rate at
$500 piece. The counters are full of the
most elegant soaps. they are luxuries but
the prices are amazingly low, evidently put
here for quick sellers, and are rapidly being
taken out. Brushes.--Hair, tooth flesh and
shaving, they are perfection in make and
finish, certainly of daily necessity, they
are marked at a special low price for Christ
mas time. Candies of only the finest

GUS chocolate almonds, caromels, bon bons,

what The New century Club Did.

What The New Century Club Did.
At the opening hour last Tuesday il
looked as though the sharp north wind had
cooled the ardor of the members of the
club only a mere handful being present,
but, during the reading of the minutes and
the frst article, they came in by one and
by two until an average attendance was
reached.
Miss Susie Ellison gave in her article on
Sir Thomas More" an excellent description
of him as a statesman and as a scholar,
while Miss Saidee Pharo brought before the
club q most vivid picture of man and
king in her "James T."
Three papers, "Ths Gunpowder Plot,
'sThe Thirty Years War;" and ben JON
son." were left for later date owing to ill
ness and unavoidable absence of their
authors. However, Miss Mary Cochran
helped make up for their loss in her ex-
ceedingly characteristic story of John
Dudley" and the remaining time was oc-
cupied by discussion of affairs connected
with an interesting drama which will be
produced by several members of the club
sometime during January.
The following is the program for next
week: "Charles IT, Mrs. J. p. Cochran, Jr.;
Milton" Mrs. Richard Lockwood; Duke
of Buckingham" Miss Allie Mckee; DRY
den," Mrs. Howard Pool. There will also
be roll cali of current events.

The Incomparably Low Prices
which we have advertised for
this Sale may seem ridiculous to
some, but we say for the benefit
of those who have not visited
this store since we started this
Colossal Sale, that an inspection
will reveal the fact that there has
never been a sale of Fine Cloth

where costs and values were of
as little Importance as they are
now. We earnestly believe that
the prices at which we are now
selling are as low as any fair
minded man would set for him
self. So we say again: "Avail
yourself of this life time oppor-
tunity," as all smart buyers will
lay in enough for several seasons

sion in Germany his nance appears n b.

One hotel man, discoursing upon thls
assertion that all women are petty rob
bers, said: why these collectors are
not all women by any means. though 7
must admit that Won Kunitz hit II nrat.y,
near the bull's-eye when he said klepro-
mania was well nigh universal among
women. 1 do not see why such a habit
when unchecked will not demoralize a per-
son of either sex. We know from the
amount of china, drapery, silver and bed
clothes which We have to replace annu-
ally that this nefarious practice is increas-
ing. We lost 800 teaspoons in 1897. IF
you will believe me we put $40 French
clocks on the mantels of that many bed

course a few of these things may have

on May street, says the Hartford Times
one of the features introduced in the way
of entertainments after the playing made
a good deal of amusement.
Twelve miniature walls were filed with
liquids of uniform red color, but all of
different odors. The test was for each
guest to name the several odors and write
their names on card. The odors chosen
were familiar, such as witch-hazel CO.
logne, wintergreen, pennyroyal, rose, lem
on ETC., and it would be supposed that
there would be little or no difficulty in
identifying them, but 1t was not so easy
after all, for the reason that the stronger
doors seemed to dun the sense of smell
as to the more delicate ones.
Some of the mistakes were very anus
ing. The highest score, eleven out of
the twelve, was made by one of the gen.
tlemen, and, as a rule, the scores of the
gentlemen were rather better than those
of the ladies. A curious fact was that a
vial containing a liquid without any odor
whatever was wrongly guessed by all
the ladies and was identified as water by
only two of the party both gentlemen.

MUSIC IN PLACE OF ETHER.
A Doctor Uses a Photograph in Sur
gerry With Success.

From the Chicago Times-H Herald.
Surgery is likely to lose half its terrors.
Gruesome operations in the future will be
pleasant incidents. The amputation of
limb will be done to the accompaniment
of dulcet tones from a photograph. The
talkative machine will displace ether and
chloroform, and the man of hlgh-struns
temperament can visit his dentist without
the fear of laughing gas or noxious drugs.
All this will come to pass If the predic-
tions of Dr. Thomas B. Keyes count for
anything.
Last night the doctor at his laboratory
performed some experiments before mem
bers of the medical fraternity. He demon
strated that the photograph possesses
powers never dreamed Of He put the
strongest men TO sleep by the influence
alone of the magic cylinder 1t took only
few moments to send his subjects to
the Land of Nod and there was no re-
turning until the doctor gave the word
HIe slipped a cylinder on the machine
which had previously caught the strains
of one of Sousa's most famous marches
The body of the subject in the chair
moved in rhythmic cadence to the music
DIR. Keyes changed cylinders. 1t was
one OF his own compositions this time
and the music was from the well-knoyn
vocabulary of the surgeon to his patient
1t was something like this: You feel
no pain; not a muscle In your body is in
pain; you have no feeling
The patient slept on and the doctor
produced a large silver needle from his
medicine case He heated Il on the gas
jet and began pricking the patients hand
until the blood stood out. Not move
ment of the patient was noticeable The
doctor grasped the right hand of the man
In the chair and, COMPRISING the mus
cles between the thumb and the forefinger,
pushed the needle slowly through the in
tervening flesh. Still not a twitch or the
slightest motion of pain. He carried his
experiments further Slowly pulling the
tongue from the mouth until it protruded
an inch, he inserted the needle pulling II
clean through. Not a sound escaped the
man in the chair. The men who handle
the scalpel and the knife drew closer.
The pulse was felt and it was declared
normal. There was not even a flush
noticeable.
DR.. Keyes said his experiment in the line
or surgery was over, and proceeded 10
wake the sleeping patient He slipped on
another cylinder. 1t told the man TO wake
up. In slow, monotonous tones 1t re-
peated the command and the subject was
soon in the condition that he had been at
first. He looked at his hands and dis
covered the blood and cast suspicious
glances at the doctor. He maintained that
he had not felt the least pain and did
not then. He was totally ignorant of the
operation to his tongue

At this instant something struck Charlie
in the eye. Before he had recovered his
sight Rose helped Miss Haughtley into
a milliner's shop. She returned in few
moments. Come on; she won't come out

Charlie, land I am not going to be stuck

was no denying, it was one of the buttons
