SHERMAN'S REGRETS.
The President Ill-Advised in His Philip
pine Policy.


Philadelphia. Dec. lin response to
an invitation to attend an anti-impe
rialist mass meeting to be held at the
Academy of Music on the centennial
anniversary of the death sof Washing
ton, Dec. H. the following letter has
been received from ex-Secretary of
State John Sherman, dated Washing
ton, Dec. 8:
II have a strong conviction that the
president erred in sending soldiers to
the Philippines to take possession of
their country. The United States had
wisely, as I think, assisted the Flip
mos in driving the spaniards out of
the Philippine islands and should, I
think. have aided them in protecting
their country against all assaults. He
no doubt was advised to adopt the
measures taken and all can do is to
express my regrets. Yours very truly,
JOHN SHERMAN"

Christmas
.Jewe|ry
Selections

By making your holiday gift
selections now instead of
waiting until you are in the
midst of holiday hurry and
excitement, you will be able
to make Christmas money go
further and buy more.
If you wait until the last
moment you are likely to
make injudicious selections
and forget some friend whom
you would wish to remember.
Even If you are not quite
ready to buy, now is the best
time to look and inspect and
make UP your list. Come any
day and look through our
stock and make UP your mind.
No one will urge you to buy
until you are ready. A visit
and careful look through will
convince you that you are in
the right place for nice goods
at low price.
