1T WOULD BE
ABSURD TO STATE

hat any one house carries everything
made in shoes, and it would be an absurdity
If any one house would attempt to do so.
There are shoes good bad and Indifferent, and
of the many shown the greatest minority only
develops into satisfaction givers If you We
never bought shoes from us, this Spring is a
good time to get started-this line was never
more attractive.
Our customers have learned that GER
tain standard exists in this business-a stand
ard of value in shoes at price that allows us
fair profit and make satisfied customers.
There is price below which a good
shoe cannot be made, but you will find plenty
of shoes priced very low
We talk shoes on only one basis-quality,
and the demand for equality has not disap-
peared, Judging from our sales.
Our stock of Summer shoes tor ladies
and misses is complete in tans, browns and
greens, with silk vesting tops, lace and button,
ties and slippers.
For gentlemen-tans and browns with
vesting tops, Pat. leather in chocolate and
black with vesting tops. Vici Kid enameled

You can examine each line of our shoes
for the asking only costs you your time.
May either of our statesmen show you our
lines?

The man who waits for business to

of the TACT that business like any other

Hop Wah, the only citizen of
truly celestial descent that our
town could boast has emptied his
suds tubs, cooled his irons, and de-
parted hence. The shirts and collars
and cuffs that knew him once will
probably know him no more forever.
We were growing accustomed to his
slanting eyes and his curious queue

LAST MAINE INCIDENT.
Much Ado Is Made of 1t By Sagasta
and Madrid Press.

Madrid. March 25.-Premier Sagasta
and Colonial Minister Morst went TO the
palace to convey 10 the queen the intel
ligence that Consul General Lee mad oeen
Instructed to ask permission of the au-
th0rities at Havana TO begin to remove
The wreck of the Maine. which permission
Marshal BlancO had refused
On leaving the palace Senior SaSasIa
told the Spanish reporters that the gov
eminent had decided to cable its approval
of Marshal BlancOs refusal.
This incident created profound sensa-
ton.
After the cabinet council the usual off,
cial communication was made TO the
press. It contains the following:
The council approved the conduct or
Marshal BlancO. At the same time, hav-
ing been informed that the inquiry OF
the North American committee on the
catastrophe or explosion on said vessel
had terminated it's examination on the
question raised by the council commits
stoned the minister of state to take into
account oDDortunely all that has been
exposed in order to defend what IS just
and the interests OF Spain
The Madrid newspapers unanimously
applaud both Marshal BlancO and the
pretensiOns' in asking to be allowed to re-
move what remains OF the Maine They
are equally unanimous in saying that
America has committed an sgregious
blunder one calculated to impress the
whole world unfavOrably in regard to the
American case. on account of the I'M
seemly haste in wishing to destroy the
chief evidence of the claims made by
both sides.

MORE REPUBLICAN BOODLERS
WHOLESALE ARRESTS OF SOUND
MONEY REFoRMERS.
Nine Prominent Brooklynites In
dicted For Engaging In General
Loot-Had Posed as Reformers.

New York, March 25.-Nine former
Republican office holders of Brooklyn
were indicted today. Many of them
have been leaders in their party for
years, and some of them have been
known as reformers. They have been
held in high esteem socially and politi-
cally. One is police commissioner OF
New York City.
The Indictment concerns officials in
the department of city works. The
testimony adduced goes to show that
there were individual raids upon the
city funds and general loot, in which
each secured what he could. These
are the men under Indictment:
William A. Phillips, Republican
police commissioner of the City of New
York, indicted on a charge of receiving
$500 on contract. Bailed in $1,000:
Theodore B. Willis, former city works
commissioner of Brooklyn. Indicted
jointly with Commissioner Phillips on
a charge of receiving ST. 500 on con-
tract; admitted to $4,000 bail.
Robert w. Fielding, formerly deputy
commissioner of city works, three in
dictments. One charging him with
cOnniving in the audit Of illegal bills
on contracts; admitted to $4,000 bail.
Oscar Knapp, former water purveyor,
three indictments, charging connivance
in the audit of illegal bills against the
city of Brooklyn; bailed in $4,000.
Frederick Milne, inspector in the old
city works department, indictments
accusing him of auditing fraudulent
bills; bail fixed at $4,000.
A. T. Jansen, former clerk in the
comptrollers office, indicted on a
charge of taking a fee of $50 for an
official act for which there was no fee.
Admitted to $4,000 bail.
William Leaycraft, alderman
charged with conspiracy to pass a
resolution in the former board of alder
men for which he received a bride.
Joseph +. Clarke, former president
of the Brooklyn common council; in
dicted on a charge of conspiracy jointly
with Alderman Leaycraft.
William II. Golf, formerly superin-
tendent of sewers; indicted on a charge
of accepting a fee for an official act
for which there was no fee.

Torpedo Boat Schischad, Valuable
Naval Addition.

Washington, March 25.-The navy de-
partment was informed by cablegram
from Lieutenant Colweil, naval attache to
the United States embassy at London,
that agents of this government had pur-
chased q "Schischad" torpedo boat that
had been constructed for the German
government. The new acquisition is of
the general type of German torpedo boats
and is regarded as valuable addition TO
our navy. One feature regarding her that
affords special qualification TO the officials
of the navy department is that she is now
ready for sea- 1t is expected that in
few days she will leave for the United
States She will be able TO make the
journey across the Atlantic without diff
Guilty as she is a good sea-going vessel.
and her coal capacity is ample for the
trip TO this country.
She is q 23-knot vessel and about $50
feet long. While of the same general type
as the Rogers and Foote, of the United
States navy, she IS a trifls larger. At the
navy department the precise dimensions
of the new boat could not be given. The
price paid for her the navsS officials de-
clined at this time to state, but it was
said to be very reasonable.
Work on the vessel has just been COM
pleted- She never has been in service.
She is supposed to carry three torpedo
tubes and two small caIibre. rapid fire
guns. Nine to u men will be needed to
man her.
