A Richmond lady who visited
New York during the Dewey

tell the head of this house that
she returned home witho ut
buying a single ar icle for her.
self or home, because she saw
nothing there within her means
that was not higher in price
than here. and how amazed she
was at the evidence ofour keep
ina NJ with the novelties shown
in New York. Had she known
the inside workings ofthis store
it would have been no source of
surprise. Our syndicate office,
at 977 Broadway, New York, is
managed by head buyer, with
other special buyers, stenog-
rapher, and packers, and every
morning, from 9 to ii, they en-
terrain offers from owners of
merchandise, who bring or send
samples of merchandi they
have to sell. according to the
exiqencies Of he casion the
deal is made immediately, or
samples are sent for our appro-
val. In this way the new things
reach us as quickly as the
stores in the largest cities, put
ting us on. the same basis as any
of them. Our syndicate uses
quantities large as the largest
department stores in the United
States, which places us on an
equal footing as regards price.
But we have the advantage over
the stores in larger cities in
lower rent and smaller expenses
in every way; and we can thus
sell the same goods at lower
prices. II we can sell for lower
prices than the Department
Stores in larger cities, YOU
should realize how much lower
we do sell than the stores
around us, who do not have our
advantages, and it is not by one
article that you should judge
us, but by this entire stock.

BONES OF THE NATIONS
HEROES TO Be CARED FOR

Special Correspondence of the Standard
Los Angeles, Cal, May 2.-It will be
gratifying news to every patriotic
American to learn that steps are to be
taken by the secretary of war to dis
inter and remove the remains of the
United States sailors and marines
buried on Dead Mans island After
a long struggle / have succeeded in
getting this duty to the nations dead
recognized at Washington and orders
have just been sent to the command
ant of the Mare Isl; nd navy yard at
Vallejo, Cal, to disinter and remove
the remains of these men and renter
them at the United States naval Gem
etery on Mare Island.
The story of the fighting that gave
Dead Mans Island its silent inhabi-
tants is interesting to the present gen.
GRAFTON of newspaper readers Dead
Mans Island l may explain, is a very
small patch of sand, gravel and rock,
and forms the terminus of the pres
ent old San Pedro breakwater, which
runs parallel with the shore and pro-
tects the little San Pedro harbor and
lies Immediately opposite the town.
L
dro harbor for which large appro-
priation has been made, contemplates
the extension of the old breakwater
from Dead Mans Island nearly mile
out into the sea, which, with another
breakwater. starting from Point Fir

giles with the first, will have been re-
duced to simple connecting link in

The island has been wasting away

the remains of the dead heroes OF the
republic were threatened with abso-

to the United States frigate Savan-

Of october, 1876, in an unsucces Sful
attempt of Commodore Mervine, L. S.

In July. 1876. Commodore Stockton

that when a Californian met and passed

a tramp is a man travelling. pretend
ing to be looking for work, and praying
to God all the time that he may never
find any.
AS long as the tramp is looking for
job just invite him TO sit in the chair
instead of saving wood to pay for food
and lodging two and one-half hours at
time, and see if he wants to repeat
the experiment.
The tramp tax of the 16 counties of
Maine in the year 1898, according to The
state report, amounted to 1884, sos. Just

town that has villages. and has large
population. Nearly one-third of all our
county tax is to pay the tramp's board

me Jail is the tramp's home in winter
That has been proven by the county
reports of two of our counties that have
no Jails-Plscataqui and Sagadahoc
They have no tramDs in winter be-
cause they have no jails; consequently
the tramp keeps clear of these two
counties in winter because they have
no jails, and goes to his winter home in
some other county, where the iailer
smacks his chops at the sight of his
powerful lever-the tramp-the man
that the county towns send to Jail in
hopes of getting rid of them for a few
must be levied on the tax payer. and
must be paid in money. Isn't that a
potent argument in favor of my tramp
chair?
Anything more that l can do to aid
the people in getting rid of tramps will
be cheerfully done.
