The eEaSieSfF Fur-
 nifHre 70 Buy.

Price is always a leading factor with our Furniture, but price isn't every thing There's lots of Furniture made mat seems very cheap when you buy It, but becomes very dear when you use it. That's why some say the Fur niture of to-day is nothing like as well made as the Furniture of their fore fathers. Good Furniture is far better in fact, never more artistic, never stronger. never more lasting: That's honest Furniture, and if you buy from those that represent the exact truth, you'll buy better Furniture than your fathers ever bought.

The Chicano Erg Corner.

CHICAGO, Dee. 4.-Eggs scored an other advance of 1 cent a dozen yester- day owing to scarcity in the market. Stocks of the cold storage eggs are now only 150,O0O cases. At the present rate of consumption this is less than two months supply. Dealers'in South Wa ter street are disturbed over the, situation because the visible supply is eoncentrated in the hands of large packing interests. which, it IS asserted. are in q position to dictate prices. Fresh eggs were quoted at 20 cents a dozen.5 and cold storage stock was firmly held at 20 cents. &

FINE SPEECH.
Mr.. RosIsell said:

In the great struggle for perpetua-
tion of constitutional government, for
the preservation of individual freedom,
and THE transmission of the heritage of

be doubted that Delaware will take her
place i'm the front ranks and will see

But beyond the national issues, and
as interesting use Immediately, we are
concerned about the administration of
our State governments. We need men
of honesty and inlegrity, men of ex-
perience, men in touch and in hearty
sympathy with the people for that i'm
portant work. The New Castle county
delegates to-day most fidtingly selected
a man who measures up to all the re
quiremenlts of la gubeTnatoral standard
Peter J. Ford. (Long and continued
applause.) There is significance i'm the
fact that lin the contest for this honor
there was displayed such interest as
the Democracy of Wilmington has not
known for years. Peter ]. Ford was
clearly and Enthusiastically the choice
of that constituency and the signifi-
canoe lis all the stronger in the fact
that it lis more than sixty-eight years
since Wilmington has been honored
with a gubernatorial nomination. Sc
lecting, as the delegates from New
Castle county have done, a man of ripe
experience, a man known Ito many OF
you (for he has been going up and
down this State and mingling in pub
lie business for long tine) he scarce
