Z Among the advertisements in q street
car at Omaha not long ago, says cor
respondent of the Chicago Record,
saw this legend "A man will pay 81
for 5O-cent article he wants; wom-
an will pay 9S cents for 5O-cent arti-
Gle she does not want"
When repeated this to an expert
enced department store merchant the
other evening on the porch at Manhat-
tan Beach he smiled and said: Il sup
pose you think that indicates superior
Judgment and self-control on the part
of the man, but l can tell you from long
experience that women are better shop
pers than men every time and that men
are attracted by odd prices much quick
er than women For example. just be-
fore left home the clerk in charge of
our gentlemen's furnishing goods de-
partment called my attention to a lot
Of ties we had been offering for 25
cents each, and said they were mo 60"
He suggested that we mark them down
to Is cents. told him for a flyer to
offer them three for 81. He did SO and
we sold everyone of them the next
week. / suppose people thought they
were 50-cent goods marked down. If
we had offered them for 15 to % cents
they would not have sold, but when n
customer thinks he can get three arti-
cles cheaper than he can get one he will
take the three. He imagines he has
got bargain.
I'VE had some negligee shirts that
had been selling for S1.25 all summer.
but there was no longer any demand
for them. We put them in show win
dow and offered two for $3.50. They
went like hot cakes People supposed
they were 81 so and S1.75 shirts marked
down. After that experience nobody
can tell me that men are not caught by
odd prices just like women.
Speaking of odd prices" continued
my merchant friend. 1T is n curious
fact that those ending in nine are more
attractive than any other. We can sell
more of the same article II we offer 1t
for 0 cents than for 6, or 10 than 10, or
% than 25, or 30 than 35 or even 80,
while 80 cents is the best figure to
catch trade We can sell % per cent.
more goods of the same value for 80
cents than for 20.
why? / don't know why, except
that it is a peculiarity OF human ma
ture. People like nine for the same
reason that they dislike thirteen"

FATE IN THE BALANCE.
Life of Court of Visitation In
Hands of Supreme Court.

One of the most peculiar cases ever ar
gued in any court was submitted to the
judges of the supreme court this after
noon The case itself is not SO peculiar as
is the fact that the attorneys on both
sides take exactly the same positions.
The case is the one brought to test the
validity of the Court of Visitation.
The suit was commenced as a manda-
mus proceedings to compel the Court of
Visitation to hear the application of the
Carver, for lower rates for live stock be-
tween Eldorado and Kansas City. 1t was
brought on relation of the state through
the attorney general.
The members of the court OF visitation
are really very much interested in having
the court upheld because it means sal
aries and perquisites to them and so their
solicitor A. j. Myatt and ). II. Allen,
who was employed to assist, argued that
the mandamus to compel the court to
Judge j. s. West, who represented the
state in asking for the writ also con-
tends that the law should be upheld.
AS a consequence the attorneys on both
sides submitted practically the same ar
gumentS.
1t would be purely a one-sided case were
it not for the fact that the Santa he
railroad has claimed to be an interested
party and has filed a brief based upon
the same contention as that taken by
Judge Hook when he held the action OF
the Court of Visitation in attempting to
enforce the telegraph rate law, invalid
He held that legislative and judicial pow
erS were so cOmmlngled IN the court OIL
visitation act that it went beyond the
| power of the legislature which created It

HAWAIIAN BILL UP.
Vote to Be Taken In the House
Next Thursday.

Washington, April 3-When the house
met today Mr.. Cooper, (Wis.) chairman
of the committee on insular affairs ask
ed unanimous consent for the consider
alton of the bill to authorize the secre-
tary, of the treasury to designate gov
ernment repositories in Porto Rico,
Cuba and the Philippines.
Mr.. Brewer (Ala.) objected.
A bill was passed to allow men who
served during the Spanish war or the
Philippine insurrection in the army,
navy or marine corps who enter lands
under the homestead act to deduct the
time of such service from the period re-
quiIed t. perfect title.
Under the special order made some
time ago the house then went into CON-
I9li;tee OF the whole 20 consider the Ha :
waiian civil government bill.
Under the order the debate is to 1a-st
until Thursday, on which day at 4
O'Clock the vote is to be taken.

ARGUMENT BEGUN.
In the Case of Senator Clark of Mon
tana-

Washington, April 3-Argument in
the case of Senator Clark of Montana
was begun by counsel for the memorial
lists today before the senate committee
on privileges and elections. Arthur A
Birney, counsel for the memorialists,
was the first speaker. He began by
laying down the conclusions of law
upon which the memorialists rest their
case, but said no effort would be made
to make much out of these, because
they considered that their case was too
strong to rest it upon any mere tech
nical ground. Strong as was the law
in their favor the facts We're still
stronger. Birney contended that Clark
had become a candidate as early as
August, 1898, and had, he urged, de-
termined to go to the senate regardless
of all considerations of virtue and
morality. While claiming the necessity
of wrestling control of state affairs from
Daily, Clark when on the witness stand
had been entirely unable to state any
case in which power had been exer-
cised in opposition to the best interests
of the state.
Birney commented at length upon
Clarks testimony, contending that the
senator had put himself in a most un-
enviable position.
Mr.. Birney had not concluded when
the committee at 1 o'clock adjourned
until Thursday.

FRANCHISE TRANSFERRED.
New Gas CompanyGiven the Faulkner
Concession.

A new gas franchise ordinance was
passed by the council last evening, which
has the effect of transferring the fran
chise granted to W. J. Faulkner several
months ago to the company which Mr..
Faulkner has organized, the Topeka Fed
eral Light, Heat and Power company
1t was the understanding when the
franchise was granted to Mr.. Faulkner
that ne should organize his company
within a certain time after which the
franchise should be transferred The
and several hundred dollars was paid
to the secretary of state as charter
fee, which was proof to the council that
the company was bona fide.
When the first franchise was granted
Mr.. Faulkner deposited $1,000 with the
city clerk as a guaranty that he would
accept the provisions of the franchise.
whether the transfer of the ordinance
released Mr.. FauIkner's guaranty. John
KIeinhans, who is Mr. Faulkner'S rep
resentative. explained that it was the
understanding of Mr. Faulkner that he
would release his own receipt for the
guaranty deposit and the city should
give a new one to the company, the city
keeping the thousand dollars.
As Mr.. Faulkner will not be. released
from his obligation until the company
accepts the provisions of the franchise,
this arrangement seemed acceptable to
the council and the ordinance was
passed, Councilman Hughes voting
against it.
Il believe in cheap gas as much as
this company can furnish it as they
propose. and I don't believe in distribut-
ing franchises around without having
anything come of them"
