Fine Beginning.
We expected many people to take
advantage of our reduction of stock,
but we had no idea the demand would
be SO great. Our store is crowded
with purchasers every day and all
are delighted with the amount and
quality Of goods they get for their
money. At the present rate our
stock will be closed out long before
the time appointed. If you wish to
share the bargains we are offering
you must call soon or you will come
in too late.

CARE NEEDED.
Clews Urges Conservatism as a Re-
straint in the Market.


New York, Aug. 19.-"An improved
tone can be noted in stock market con-
ditions since our last advices, says
Henry Clews. "a firm feeling prevails
and prices have been very strong in
numerous spots; the forces on the bull
side are certainly now more unified,
and this afforded the bears less oppor-
tunity to attack. One leading operator
was bold enough to publicly proclaim
himself bearish in spite of the many
favorable conditions; but expressions
OF sympathy with his views were re-
markably few. The big holders of
stocks and many professional opera
tors are still absent on vacations, and
when they return concerted bull
movement is quite possible. There is
little doubt but that the large proper
ton of these individuals will return
vigorous bulls. The outside public is
also bullish, chiefly because of the ac-
tive condition of trade and industry
throughout the country. These condi-
lions are already so familiar that repe-
tltion is useless. Nor are any facts
necessary to prove the universal belief
IN higher market this autumn. The
probability that there will be no severe
strlngenoy in money and that our crops
wild yield returns beyond what farmers
usually receive has removed almost the
last vestise of doubt. The whole coun-
try in fact from the Atlantic to the Pa
cltic is saturated with optimism, and
there is vastly more danger at present
from the results of excessive conf
dence than from any other single cause.
NOW is the time to be on the alert for
injudlcious ventures. ALL sorts of Wis
lonary schemes are being, or shortly
will be, launched. There is a strong
likelihood also, of our discounting
prosperity too rapidly, and inviting an
unwelcome setback through excessive
speculation, though we can not be said
to have yet arrived near that stage.
The great advance in prices, especially
in iron products, must ultimately put
check upon demand and new enter
prise and the readjustment to follow
Will not be accomplished without injury
to some.
THE purpose of these remarks is to
show the need Of conservatism as a re-
straint upon the excessive optimism,
which If not used may carry us along
upon speculative wave that will bring
violent recessions later on. A balance
wheel of some sort is needed, and firm
er rates for money is one of the best.
Another reason for conservatism is the
high level of the best stocks and bonds.
In these the future has been so amp
lydiscounted as to leave little oppor
tunity for further profit except in
cases where dividends are likely to he
increased.

Leicester. Aug. 2O.-According to
James r. Dorney Of the firm Of Dorsey
q Dorney, proprietors Of the Cherry

Everyone will be on the lookout for
the machine when it arrives as it must
be very complicated and intricate af-
fair. The shooting gallery which may
be arranged so as to fulfill these expec-
tations will be set up Friday. The
proprietors are to follow the plan of
the Worcester base ball club, and on
one night in the week the gallery will
be for the exclusive use of young ladies,
several of whom desire to learn to hit
the bullseye.

Clinton Thermometers Dane ing About
the 100 Mark.
The heat in Clinton has been almost
intolerable today. The temperature
stood near hundred all the afternoon,
according to the more or less inaccu-
rate thermometers that grace High
street
There was a rush for the trolley cars,
which were crowded in the middle of
the afternoon, and constantly hotter
than some of the drug stores, which did
double the ordinary Sunday business in
soda water. The attendance on church
services has been much diminished. The
heat of yesterday caused a recurrence
of the plague of mosquitoes. Many
people went to bed, only to arise again
and devote themselves to the destruc-
ton of singing pests, which made sleep
impossible.
1t was nothing uncommon this morn
ing to hear solid citizens comparing
notes about the number of mosquitoes
they had killed. The insects are more
uncomfortable, because the town is usu-
ally almost free from them.
