Wise words for Women.

~ Wise words for Women. -
The gullibility of the average con-
sumner OF merchandise of all kinds is
we'll known and the ability of
't'shrewd" 1--WE should say dishonesty
merchants, to palm of limitations of
articles which have gained reputa-
ton, and are demanded by name is
also we'll known. In making small
and Insignificant purchases it is not to
be wandered at that consumers can
often be induced to accept substitutes
or articles which are claimed to be
''just 90 good" by the interested mer-
chant, but when it comes to articles of
value, which are likely to be used the
kgreater psrt Of q lifetime. We think
the purchasers Of such goods are as
foolish as the merchant is dishonest,
if they allow themselves to buy any
thing but just exactly whist IL asked
for BY name. AS a glaring instance
of what can be done in this connec-
tion, we desire to name but one very
well-known article of household us-:
to show what is often attempted and
sometimes accomplished. AS long ago
as 1882 the Michigan Stove Company
of Detroit, Chicago, and Buffalo
placed upon the market a complete
line of cooking and heating apparatus
for all kinds of fuel and of the highest
possible degree of merit-which they
marketed under the name of Gear
land" Stoves and Ranges, and as
the name was applied to but the high
est grade or quality of each type of
stove or range their products were an
electric success, and the name "Gar
land" has always stood as the symbol
of goods of first grade only, and are
today the only goods of their kind
sold under any trade name which are
not made in several qualities. Other
stove makers, counting no doubt upon
the credence of the public, commenced
to apply trade name to lines of
goods varying in quality from very
good down to the cheapest and most
inferior grades and then initiated the
shape and style of the Garland"
trademark, even to the shape and ar
rangenent of the lettering copying
even the colors in Garland" posters,
initiating the designs of Garland"
with the result that many unscrup-
ulous stove merchants have been sue
cessful in selling third and fourth
grade limitations of "Garlands upon
the statement that what they offered
were ''just as good, etc. The courts
have closed the factories of some of
the most shameless of these imitators,
enioined others, and yet there are
those who escape the pale of the law
and continue to dupe the public
whom, we repeat, are themselves to
blame for not insisting upon having
Garland" and nothing else.
The above is but one of many in
stances which might be cited, but it is
sufficient to show that it is not only
upon smaller articles of merchandise
upon which consumers can be de-
ceived, but large and important ones
as well. When will the buying public
learn to protect itself? How Bros. 81

STREET RAILWAY BILLS. q
Two Important Bills Introduced in
the Illinois Legislature.

SPRINGFIELD, H., Jan. 1S.-Bills were
introduced in the Legislature to-day for the
repeal of the Allen law, under which fifty
year franchises may be granted to street.
railway corporations. Another bill, pre-
pared under the direction of Mayor Harri-
son, of Chicago. will probably con-
stitute the Democratic platform on the
street-railway question during the session
as introduced by Representative McCorty
This bill limits to twenty years the life of
franchises TO be granted or renewed here
after, and provides that at the expiration
of such franchises the city may purchase
and operate the street railways, paying to
the companies a fair valuation of the actual
properties. Under this bill the city may pre-
scribe the motive power to be used, the
hours of service, number Of cars, etc, to in
sure the comfort. convenience and safety
of the public; may regulate the hours of
service of employees. fix a minimum rate of
wages and arbitrate disputes between them
ana the railway companies. The city may
prescribe n maximum fare of cents, and
proviGe for a class of tickets to be sold,
six Tor y cents; another class, good during
certain hours of the day. to be sold eight
cents, for the benefit of school children. Or
dinances 10 be passed under this bill require
a two-thirds vote of the City Council and
must receive three-quarteTs vote TO be
passed over the mayors veto. After their
passage they must be submitted to a popular
vote on petition of per cent of the voters
OF the municipality. A city may invite bids
for franchises, and. in addition TO other

NELSON DINGLEY'S FUNERAL.
Day of Mourning in the Second Com
gressiODaI District of Maine.

LEWISTON, Me, Jan. 1S.-In the midst
of marked evidences of public and private
mourning the citizens of Maine, including
the neighbors and lifelong friends of the
late Representative Nelson Dingley, en-
gagged in the closing services attending the
burial Of Names honored congressman here
to-day. The public service was held in the
Pine-street Congregational Church after
prayers at the Dingley home. The body
then was taken to Oak Hill Cemetery, in
Auburn, for interment. Both the cities of
Lewiston and Auburn, and, in fact, the en-
tire congressional district which Mr.. Dingley
had represented for eighteen years, gave up
the day to mourning. Little business was
conducted, and during the services and
afterwards as the long procession passed
through the streets, over the river and up
to the quiet cemetery in Auburn a husn
prevailed, broken only by the tolling OF
bells.
The floral decorations at the church were
very beautiful. The wreath from President
and Mrs Mckinley occupied a prominent
position. The entire center of the church

funeral party entered the church at 10

fatigued TO attend the public service. Rev.
G. NJ. Howe pronounced the eulogy, IN
which as pastor and friend he told OF the
life of Mr.. Dingley as he had known ii. At

ST. LOUIS BALL CLUB.
Chris Won Der Ahe Testifies That He
still Owns the Franchise.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 18.-The case of the
Mississippi Valley Trust Company VS.. the
Sportsmans Park and Club came up for
final hearing in Judge Spencer's division of
the Circuit Court to-day. Chris Won der
Abe took the stand and told how he had or
ganized the Sportsman's Park and Club in
1881. That same year the st. Louis Base
ball Association, a cooperative organiza-
ton, was got up for the purpose of operat-
ing a baseball team called the st. Louis
Browns. This organization, Won der Abe
testified, played games on the grounds
owned by the Sportsman's Park and Club
and received 80 per cent. of the gross gate
receipts for it's work. When the original
manager of the st. Louis Baseball AssOcia-
tion resigned the ball club was turned over
to Won der Ahe and he has been running it
ever since separate from the Sportsman S
Park and Club. Won der Abe testified that
he had always owned the st. Louis fran
chise in the National League, having never
transferred it either verbally or in writing
to any one. Mr.. Won der Ahe's testimony
took up the courts time until noon, when
his s-examination began.
The croSs-eXamination showed that the
Sportsman's Park and Club, the St Louis
Baseball Association and Chris Won der
Abe were three in one transacting only one
business. Toward the end Chris grew very
cross and short in his answers.
Judge Spencer ordered counsel to file
briefs by Friday noon, and announced that
he would render his decision by Monday
next.

CROWDED WITH TROOPS
TRANSPORT GRANT TO SAIL FOR
MANILA VIA THE SUEZ CANAL.
Gen. Lawton and Nearly 1000 Soldiers
the Philippine Situation.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1S-The party of gov
ernment officials who left Washington at
midnight to be present at the departure
OF the transport Grant. for Manila arrived
at Jersey City early to-day. They boarded
the government steamer General Meigs at
the Adams Express Company's pier and
were taken to the Grant, off Liberty island.
The party included Adjutant General Cor
bin, who represented Secretary Alger; Quar-
termaster General NJ. 1. Ludington, Major
George H. Hopkins, Brigadier General
Henry NJ Duffied, Senators Warren,
Mitchell and Proctor, Representatives Grif-
fin, Marsh, Fenton, Beknap, Mcdonald,
Lentz and Jett. When the General Meigs ran
alongside the transport the big vessel was
gaily decorated with bunting and her decks
were crowded with the soldiers of the
Fourth and Seventeenth Infantry, who are
embarked for Manila. The visitors were re-
ceived on board by General Lawton. The
party was conducted through the vessel and
the quarters of the soldiers were closely in
spected, as was also the hospital. There
are .S12 beds fitted up, sixty of which are
in the hospital. The noRcommssioned Off
GERS and men in the Fourth Regiment and
the battalion of the Seventeenth Infantry
number 1870. The officers, with their wives
ana IamllleS, VIII NUMBER over 100, ana
counting the crew there will be over 2,1OO
souls aboard the vessel when she sails from
this port. The army and other officials left
for Washington at l o'clock this afternoon
over the Pennsylvania Railroad
1t is not known when the transport will
get away on her long voyage to Manila.
She met with an accident to. her propeller
as she was being towed to her anchorage
off Liberty island last evening, the extent
of which has not yet been aScertained.
There is besides an impression that it will
be necessary to put new dynamo on board
the Grant before she sails.
A diver was sent down this afternoon, who
cut the cable that was entangled in the pro-
peller. The anchor was raised and the
transport got under way about ) O'Clock for
her little preparatory voyage to Grants
Tomb. Whistles were blown and salutes
were given all the way up North river.
There were no mutitudes at Riverside Park
and along the banks to give voice to cheers.
but passengers on passing ferry boats
cheered the bluecoats and the big transport,
and the soldiers answered Justify. 1t was
dark when the ship arrived opposite the
tomb. A salute of twenty-one guns was
fired and the band of the Fourth Infantry
played the "Star-spanged Banner" The

ate committee on military affairs to-day.
He gave a detailed account of his opera
tons in the province and in the city OF
Santiago. and also gave his estimate of the
military force necessary to maintain order
in the Islands. on the latter point he ex-
pressed the opinion that for some time the
1900 men now In the province Of Santiago
should be continued, but after that time
5000 would be sufficient for the service. He
considered, however, that a military force
would be necessary to the maintenance OF
order for some years, and said it should be
sufficient to effectually and quickly check
any trouble before 1t could gain headwsy-
This remark applied to the island as a
whole. He thought as many as 5000 troops
should be stationed throughout Cuba. With
proper precaution and tact he did not anti
cipate trouble. and he believed that the in
surgent forces would rapidly diSintegrate in
all parts of the island. Santiago had been
great stronghold of the Cuban insurgents
under Garcia but they had now practically
disbanded
Outlining his mode of governing the prov
ince, lie said he had made no appointments
to office except on the recommendations of
Cubans, and that he had in all cases put
them upon their honor in making such
recommendations He had shown absolute
trust in them in all matters, going among
them always unarmed and leaving the books
of the administration always open to their
inspection. He had CubanS in all depart
ments, and his private secretary had at one
time been a member of Gomez staff Thus
they always knew how their money had
been expended, and knew just what he was
doing as their governor.
General Wood said that his first effort
had been to encourage the people of all the
towns to establish self-government, and he
had been especially jealous in having them
select their local officers, open schools, es-
tablish courts. build roads, etc, and in
cases where they did not have the money
for these purposes he had aided them by
making contributions for the general fund.
This system was entirely different from the
old one under Spanish rule when all the
collections were forwarded to Havana and
never came back only 16 per cent. of the
evenue being devoted to local uses. He
had found the peopie especially jealous OF
their rights in this respect, and the recent
public meetings and protests against send
ing the revenues TO Havana was due to
this feeling. General Wood spoke especially
of the establishment of schools and the
building of roads. He said he had 1000 men
making roads and that he was getting many
schools started.
Replying to a question from Senator Haw-
ley, he said the people were anxious for the
separation of church and state in educa-
tioaal matters. and that they seemed to
want to be like the Americans in this as
well as in other respects. Speaking of San
tiago city, he said the collections mainly
from customs have been sufficient to pay all
legitimate expenses and leave balance of
$3.50 COO. which he meant to devote to clean
ing out the harbor. This harbor he said,
had an accumulation Of ten feet of filth, and
with this removed he believed the city
would be as healthy as any American city.
