THE FINAL MARK DOWN SALE.

r. NJ. Lewsen & Co. are preparing for
an extensive fall business ana on that
account are closing out the balance of
their spring and summer stock at about
one-half and some at one-quarter the
regular prices. 1t is astonishing how
ridicuIously low ladies' garments are
now especially such a tine grade Of goods
as is carried by this firm. But Mr..
Lewsen believes he gains in the end even
though the goods are almost given away
at the end OF each season. He says his
patrons are sure to get something new
when they come in, instead of being in
doubt whether they get a garment that
was made this year or last for he never
has last years garments. They must go
not regarding price before they are three
months old. Ladies win find it to their
advantage to read the advertisement on
the last page of this issue.

AA1IoNAIl G UARD ENCAMPMENT
Yesterday the encampment of the Ma

Portland military men feel that the en-
amrment this year has been. of more
value TO the National Guard than any
held before in many years
All Of the show and buster Of former

The two regiments going into camp sep
arasely devoted themselves to hard work
without any fuss or feathers. The head
quarters mess was simplicity Itself The
staff officers and the governor himself
when in camp ate with iron knives ana
forks very simple and plain food. 1t
seemed to be the desire or all the officers
and nen to learn as much as possible and
the result was highly satisfactory to all
who witnessed any OF the work at these
encampments.

have finally determined to convert the
whole Of their system to electric trao-
ton with all possible dispatch. This
resolution has probably been accel-
Grated by the significant fact that in
the new electric railway they have 3
powerful rival, which is both quicker,
cheaper, and cleaner than their own
antiquated method Of locomotiOn. at
the recent meeting of the Underground
Railway company, the chairman an
nOunced that without any further de-
lay electric traction should be install
ed upon the outlsying portions Of
their system, since their own expert
ments between Earl's Court and Ken
sington with an electrically propelled
train had convinced them that an cleo
trio locomotive could haul q greater
weight than the ordinary steam loco
motive, that it was more economical
and that the atmosphere Of the tun-
nels was maintained in a much purer
condition. OF course, the great diff
Guilty that presents itself in connection
with the electric conversion Of the
Underground railway is the question
Of the intercOmmunication Of the other
great trunk railways Of the country.
The leading railways have not one cen
trail depot In London in which all the
railways converge, but rely for com
nunication between the various ter
mini upon the Underground railway
system, and as they hsYe full running
powers over portions Of the latteris
system, it is not probable that they
will introduce electric locomotives -es-
psciaIIy for this intercommunicatiVe
traffic. Therefore, it viii probably be
impossible to Danish the steam loco
motive entirely from the Underground
railway.

New York letter.

After an absence of nearly three
years the unprotected cruiser Mont
gOmery, now nearly ten years old, but
mighty serviceable considering her
age, has come ihto the port Of New
York flying one Of the most gorgeous
hOmeward- bound pennants that has
ever traiIed over the taffrail. There
we're nearly 200 feet Of it and the tip
was Ornamented with q painted blad-
der that helped to hold it horizontal
During the time the Montgomery has
been away she has been cruising in
trOpie seas, being for the greater part
Of the time, over Is months, with the
South Atlantic squadron. Everybody
on board was glad to get a glimpse Of
the towers Of Manhattan and every
body noticed that a few towers had
been added since the Montgomery was
here before. The feeling Of rejoicing
was expressed partly in the elongated
"homeward- bOunder." All hands were
so anxious once more to get into the
atmosphere Of pure Yankee DoOdleism
that they caused the old ship to do
stunts on her trip up from st. Thomas,
where she last COaled, and she made
the very respectable record Of four
and a half days from the little Danish
island, going at the rate Of ID and one
half knots snd dragging along q lot Of
tropical green slime and barnacles.
She did not 20 at top speed simply be-
cause she had no right to burn too
much Of Uncle Sans coal. On her
trial trip she made 19 knots during 8
four-hour run, but she would be IN
able Co do that now. The cruiser had
a peaceful sort Of an experience while
in southern waters She made her
headquarters at MonteYideo and cruis-
ed along the Brazilian coast as far
north as Para. There was only one
pet aboard the cruiser when she az
rived. It is q South American parrot
and talks nothing but Spanish and q
few American words that are heard
chiefly in the forecastle. Nearly every
blueiscket wanted TO bring a monkey
or q parrot, but recolIeotions OF what

in proximity and numerous, caused

an OPEN Confession.

The moral rectitude Of the state ad-
ministration is simply feigned. The
great governor Of the state doubtless
suffers from the Authorization that
teaching a Sunday school class in
Wichita each week is q great labor to
humanity, and feels that as a reward
for his religious work the people Of
this commonwealth should not fail to
return him TO the gUbernatOrial chair,
within the embrace Of which he might
complete his dream Of the millennium.
Stanley is governor Of Kansas and
should therefore play the role Of
gOvernor-nOt Of a One-horse peda-
gogue. Would it add TO the military
ability Of a general to forsake his own
official duties and condescend to do
those belonging to a corporal? Assur-
edIy not. But this is just what Stanley
is doing. He is fOrsaking the duties
incumbent upon him as executive Of
Kansas-duties that he only can per
form; duties which he owes to the
whole population Of the state-to do
the humber things which are not his.
Repeatedly have many good people
besoUght the governor to put a stop to
the infamous "KIondike," but his wav-
ering tendency to do those things which
cOnduce more to his seIfishness for re-
election than to his honor, has become
the chief characteristic Of this notable.
The Kansas City Star thus comments
upon the vacillating indulgence Of an
administration which has practically
made an open confession that the
HK1ondike" is master and all others
slaves:
Nothing more humihating or shameful has
ever happened in Kansas than the virtual con
fessiOn by the sheriff Of LeaTenworth county
and by the governor Of the state that they are
unable to suppress the vile crimes which are
committed at the -'Klondike,' near the Soldiers
Home at LeavenwOrth, in defiance Of law, OF
decency and Of patriotic gratitude to the vet
Grams Of the Civil war who fought for the
preservation Of the Union.

DEMOCRATIC TICKET.



One Of the peculiar duties Of The
Kansas City Star for several years past
has been that Of roasting" Bryan. He
has been denounced by that daily as
being an exponent Of ehimerical and
extravagant ideas in economits, but
the public exercises much better judg-
ment than a dictator Of daily news
paper who from selfish motives has
thrown his influence over to the gold
bug class. Instead Of the Stars mould
ing public opinion in the case Of Bry-
an, the public has at last moulded
its redOUbtabIe opinion for the Star,
as can be seen in the following editor
ial taken from the Star Of Wednesday:
@Mr. Bryan's appearance in the East
can hardly be referred to, at this time,
as a visit to the enemies country The
democratic candidate for president has
become so well known to all Of the
people Of the United States, by his
constant travels during the past four
years, that in no part Of the Union can
he be looked upon as a stranger.
@His career as a campaigner is Ger
tainly remarkable. His continued pop
ularity and his undated power to in
terest the people argue the possession
Of unusual gifts and qualities. That
he has grown in favor IN the East is
certainly significant: 1t is predicted
that he is more likely to gain votes in
that section than to increase or even
maintain the majorities which he
scored In the West in 1896. The friend
ship with which Mr.. Bryan is received
IN the East, where his ideas and doct-
rines we're formerly regarded with pc
culiar distrust, is a striking tribute to
his great personal influence. His abil-
ity to command the support Of a state
like New York in the national conven-
ton, and the Endorsement Of such an
organization as Tammany, demon
strates the wonderful hold which Mr..
Bryan has on his party. All Of this
comes about, not so much BY the force
Of the doctrines for which Mr.. Bryan
stands as BY the exercise Of a singular
individual power, which has been rare
y equalled IN the history Of American
politics.
1T may be expected that Mr. Bryan
VIII command in the East the same at
tention andrespect which always greets
him IN the West. There are certain
democrats in the Atlantic states who
we're not able to shake hands with Mr..
Bryan on his financial views who VIII
now greet him as q true prophet IN his
crusade against militarism and imper-
iaIism-
ut can hardly be said that Mr.. BFy-
co keeps himself to the fore, for he
couldn't do that unless the people
wanted to see and hear him.

Purchased for Him When = Boy
Wants Interest for Use OF Money.
A singular case involving the rights
Of a holder Of a half-fare, unlimited,
ticket developed recently on the Santa
Fe line. It was on an eastbound train
from San Francisco, and the conductor,
while collecting tickets, was given the
return portion Of a half-fare, or chld's
excursion ticket, from Kansas City to
San Francisco. The holder Of the
ticket was a young man about . years
Of age. The conductor looked at him,
smiled, and asked:
aYOu don't expect to ride on this
ticket, do your"
"Why not? 1t is an unlimited ticket
and I bought it in Kansas City eleven
years ago?"
The conductor examined it more
carefully and found that it bore the
stamp Of the Santa F'e office at Kansas
City and was dated April u, 1889. It
was, moreover, as the young man had
said, an unlimited ticket.
81 don't doubt what you say about
buying it" the conductor said, shut
you we're a kid then and now you're a
man. I can't let a man ride on a child's
ticket. You must put up the other
half in cash or get of the train"
@But let me explain. Ny father put
up nearly 500 for that ticket II years
ago and your company has had the use
Of $50 Of it for all that time without
rendering any service to him or me for
whom he bought it. If I have to pay
the extra half-fare, am not entitled
TO q credit in the shape Of interest on
that $50 for IL years?"
SIN not cracking those kind of
nuts the conductor replied, smiling.
you're a man and you have got to
have a mans ticket or pay full fare"
swell, I viii pay the extra half fare
but I would like to have something to
show for it,
"All right; I'll give you a receipt"
The money was paid and the receipt
given, the name Of the young man be-
ing Charles A. De Courcy. He said
he would present a claim against the
Santa Fe on his return from an eastern
trip.
