Easter
WaiStS

This is as much a silk waist store
a shirt waist store, an though
we had no other business in
hand, and we are willing that
the whole store be judged by
the silk waists and shirt waists
we sell. A chain is no stronger
than its weakest link-we could
not afford to slight waists; we
could better afford to lvse mon
ey on what we sell.
We do sometimes, but even
with a fair store-keeping COM
mission, we know that the pric-
es are right. DO you catch the
distinction. We've no patience
with waists simply "made to
sell"
Judge the Easter Silk Waists by
these of Hemstitched Taffattas
in the new blues, greens and
old rose at S5.9s each. This lot
just arrived and are the newest
creations of Easter Silkwaist-
dom. The tailors who made
them said they were 81 so values
and they knew. At IS 48 we
show all the stylish colorings
of taffetta silk waists tucked
all over, with white yoaks and
collar. At S4.9s we offer five
new shades in Taffetta Silk
Waist, some pleated all over,
some with plain sleeves, and
others with cord plait backs and
tucked sleeves.
All we can do is to hint at the
silk waist beauty here. Cold
type cannot express the color
and feeling in this department.
You must look here If you want
to see the latest in silk waist
things. You must look here
if you want to save on your silk
waist purchases. You must
look here if you want to save on
your wash waist purchases. OF
these we have a stock of a. doz-
en- embracing the new styles
and fancy colorings in Ladies
and Misses Waists from 29c to

Mr.. Fink Confirms the Reports OF the Penn
sylvanIa's Purchases.
New York, April 2-President
Henry Fink, of the Norfolk and
Western, today confirmed the report
that the Pennsylvaia had pur-
chased a considerable amount of
the company's common and pre-
ierred stock, alth ough the total is
far from enough to indicate "A
change i'm control He said that
he was very much pleased with the
interest taken by the Pennsylvania
in the Norfolk and Western, and
thought the position OF the road
and its securities had been mater
tally strengthened by recent de
velopements.
The newly acquired interest of
the Pennsylvania In Norfolk aud
Western, said Mr.. Fink, has been
taken with the same idea i'm mind
as that which in the past four
months has prompted large invest.
ments in Baltimore and Ohio and
G. and q. In none of these cases
have the purchases has been large
enough to give the acquirer the
power to dictate policies, and this
has not been desired.
In talking about the matter to
day, President Fink said it was
yet too early to indicate the retire.
ing mem bers Of the board of direc.
tors aud their likely SUCCESSORS.
He added:
al think that the interest that
the Pennsylvania has taken in the
Norfolk and Western is the best
ithIng that Icould have hap
pencd. 1t gives us a strong ally,
and the fact that so powerful a
corporation as the Pennsylvania
has direct concern i'm our interest
increases our prestige. The talk
that the Pennsylvania has made
the move to stop rate cutting is
senseless. We have for p numb. r
of years had very close traffic re.
latiOns, and there have been no
disputes. AS for buying to check
mate some probable purchase by
the Southern railway, | regard
that also as having no basis. |
don't thing the Southern ever
strongly considered buying the
Norfolk and Western
President Fink said that one
great advantage to his road of the
Pennsylvania interest was relic
from the ultimate necessity of ex.
tensions from Columbus, Ohio, to
the lakes, and from Hagerstown
north through Pennsylvania. Con
nectiOns are now made with the
Pennsylvania at both of these
points. He said that the con-
tinued requirement of reprssen-
tation by large financial interests
in different railroad properties wa.
simply an element of necessity
growing out of the law forbidding
open agreements on rates. In his
opinion, the small road is gradually
becoming less influential and must
finally, if present conditions con-
tinue, find Its greatest strength as
a working part of some large sys-
tens.

London, April 2-The war Office
reports that Colonel Bro atwood los,

The war Office has received the
following dispatch from Lord Rob
erts dated April the 1:
II received news late Yesterday
afternoon from Colonel Broadwood,
who was at Tbaba Nchu, 38 miles
east of here, that information had
reached him that the enemy was
approaching in two forces from the
north and east. He stated il the re-
ports proved true he would retire
towards the waterworks, II miles
nearer Bloemfonteip, where ho had
"a detachment of mounted infantry
Tor the protection of the works.
"Broadwood was told in reply that
the Ninth division with Martyrs
mounted infantry will march at
daylight today to support him and
that If he considers it necessary he
should retire from the waterworks.
He moved there during the night
and bivouacked. At dawn today he
was shelled by ;he enemy, who at
tackled on three sides. He imme-
diately dispatched two horse artil-
lery batteries and his baggage tow
ard Bloemfontein, covering some Of
them with his cavalry.
Some two miles from the water
works the road crosses a deep null
lab, orspruit, in which during the
night force of Beers had concealed
themselSe-o we'll were they hid
den that o1s leading scouts passed
over the drifts without discovering
them, and it was not until the wag-
ons and guns were entering the
drift that the Beers showed them
selves and opened fire. Many of the
drivers of the artillery horses were
immediately shot down at short range
and several of the guns were captur-
ed The remainder galloped away
covered by Roberts Horse, who suf
fersd heavily.
Meanwhile Lietsnant Chester
masters, of Rimington's scouts, found
a passage across the s,ruit unoccu-
pied by the enemy, by which the
remainder OF Broadwood's force
crossed. They refor med wish great
sturdiness. Notwithstanding all that
had previously occurred.
"Broadwood's report which has
Just reached me aud which contains
no details, states that be had lost
seven guns and all his baggage. He
estimates all his casu alties at about
$50, including 200 missing.
"On hearing this morning that
Broadwood was hard pressed I i'm
msdiately ordered General French
with two remaining cavalry brigades
to follow in support of the Ninth
division. The latter, after a magnif

to the side entrance abuse. II IS a hideous
parasiticai growth on the saloon busi-
ness as made legitimate by the laws OF
the state and nation. 1t serves no pur-
pose except for evil. Even many OF those
who profit by II admit this fact. Not an
honest officer Of the law in Seattle Is
there who will not heartily indorse any
movement for its correction. Only the
selfish avarice of few saioonkeepers
who are not satisfied with the profits of a
legitimate business and the ambition OF
petty politicians who covet their good
will in campaign time are responsible for
the existence OF the evil in Seattle
There Is a city ordinance regulating
the retail liquor traffic which, II riridly
enforced. would soon eradicate the evil
complained Of. This ordinance makes Il
the duty of every police officer to report
those saloons where iewd women are ac-
customed TO congregate. or which are
frecuented. by lewd women and provides
that the license of any such saloon may
be revoked

presence OF lewd women would alone IL

of the side entrance. Resorts such as
have been herein described would soon
cease to be profitable were the patronage
OF .lewd women cut on In the enforce
ment of this provision lies the way TO a
substantial Improvement in the morals of
the city.
