FURNITURE HOUSE
Samuel Speakman Now Occupies Spas
cious Quarters at No. sos
Market Street

Samuel Speakman, who for several
years conducted a furniture house on
West Fourth street. has removed to No
SOC Market street. His fair business
dealing and the prosperous times
which have existed for the past year
have been factors which have increased
his business to such proportions that
the seeking Of greater quarters was alb
solutely necessary to accommodate the
trade which the house is now enjoy
ing. The change has been made and
that il will be appreciated by the peo-
pie Of the city is already assured
The new Market street store is q
model furniture house It is a four
story structure and all its spacious
floors will be devoted to the display of
furniture. Not a few pieces of few
patterns will be found in the house, but
a complete line of everything that goes
10 make home beautiful and com
Portable will be there displayed. And
not only will the stock be complete, but
% will also be marked at figures aston
ishinsly low to those who favor the
new store with visit.
Mr.. Speakman's long connection with
the furniture business has enabled him
to buy at as close figures as the whole
salers. He is therefore able to dispose
of his stock at figures which are as low,
il not lower than any other house in
the city. The line of furniture on hand
at present is particularly choice. All
the newest woods and styles in pattern
are to be seen. In the carpet line every
thing from the ordinary ingram to the
finest quality of velvets is new. The
display of mattinss is as creditable as
that of the carpets. Within q few
weeks Mr. Speakman will add n line of
toys for the Christmas trade and they
viii also be marked at prices which
will make him a leader in that line.
In the Spring a willow ware depart
ment will be added to the house.
Every day is an opening day at the
Speakman store. A polite corps OF
clerks will always cheerfully show you
through the spacious building and dis
play the goods whether you wish Ia
buy or not. Polite business methods
\ have won for the house a reputation
second 10 none and it is the intention
OF the house to add 10 that reputation
That Samuel Speakman will succeed is
| already assured.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Lewis Morrison To-night

Lewis Morrison comes to the Opera
House tonight in Frederick the
Great" The press OF the world owes
more to Frederick the Great than to
any other ruler, for he was the father
OF free speech in the newspapers. Short
ly after Frederick became king OF
Prussia he issued a manifesto to the
press of his country, giving it carte
blanche to publish and discuss any sub
iect or topic. In reply TO an interrO-
cation concerning the expediency OF
such a proceeding, Frederick, with his
characteristic suavity, said My pe0-
pie and / understand each other. They
are to say whatever they please, while
/ am to do just as I please. So We are
both satisfied" The incubation thus
ministered became so contagious that
it was but few years afterwards when
the press of Europe was permitted to
print matters that a few years prior
would have been considered treason
able.

The business and finance Of the week
is reviewed, in part as follows, by
Dun's Review to-day
The report of failures by branches
Of business in the third quarter in 1899
Is highly encouraging. Though closer
money after long continued ease usu-
ally brings many and larger failures
no weak spots were disclosed in manu-
featuring or exchange OF products, with
no symptoms of III fortune unless in

The large failures were so scattered as
TO indicate no trouble in any manufac-
turing or trading branch, a fact of es-
pecial Importance on account OF recent
extensive combinations. The small

other year covered by the record The
quarters returns were smaller than in
any other quarter Of eighteen years ex-
cepting the second of this year and one

Industrial conditions could hardly be

traordinary buying that continuance

William Gillette's latest success, BE
cause She Loved Him So" which comes
to the Opera House next Monday night
At the opening OF the first act Oliver
West and his wife, Gertrude, are seen
in their home quarreling and then
making up again for no cause except
oyersensitiveness. Their servants,
who are the mischief-makers and the
cause Of all their trouble. have discov-
cred that sQuabbles between the
master and mistress mean nights off
for them. In order to make doubly sure
Of a certain night out the maid places
a wOmanB blond hair on Mr.. Vests
shoulder and saturates his coat with an
unfamiliar perfume which his wife dis
covers, and the fun commences. In the
second act we see the old folks at home
in perfect peace and comfort. This
calm is disturbed by warning of the
coming storm as the young folk have
returned to their parents for advice. AT
their wits end what to do for their
children, they resolve to do what they
have seen advised dn book, and pre-
tend to quarrel that their children
may see its absurdity. The last act
sees the quarrel between the parents
become serious through the meddling
OF the daughter, who has no idea they
are acting their parts However, seri-
GUS trouble is avoided and ali ends hap
