ing much attention. He then took les
sons of Charles r. Adams and others.
He accepted the position as basso solo
list in the ST. Pauls Episcopal church
in Louisville. where he remained three
years, when he accepted the director
ship of another large church choir.
He was very prominent in Louisville

reputation as an oratorio singer

previous To returning to Boston.
Wednesday forenoon, on the fast ex-
press. our business is very good just
now. and it is strengthening somewhat.
The prices Of WOODEN and all classes Of
goods are little sitter. and believe
they will have to be quite a little
higher in price before long The ma
tcrial in the wooden goods il costing
more, though the labor is but little in
advance Of the past few years The
consequence is that YOU will soon have
to pay better prices for your clothes.
One cannot expect anything different.
though. for the clothing in the past few
years has been remarkably low. even
down 10 the very closest margin for
the manufacturer and dealer. The
prices in every other line is picking up.
and this must naturally follow.

is very much higher. on account Of the
steep increase in the material For
the fancy Combed Australian wool, the
very best in the world, where we paid
IS cents Il pound, it is now costing 50
cents.
And. by the way" he added in a

much for our business in connection
with the Philippines. The natives
there require but a yard or two Of

cation. his health being most excellent.
He is enraptured with the climate, while
the prospect of environment fills him
with enthusiasm. suggesting 'sojourn
at a summer resort"
He says the ''niggers," when hard
pressed by the troops, seek shelter in a
church. within whose sacred atmosphere
they think themselves safe. thinking the
American soldiers will abstain from lay

place. but that is where they lose" he
SAYS.
