TO ORDER.

| Did you ever try to buy pair OF
glasses and could not find a pair that
you could see through?
Did you make up your mind from
this that you did not need glasses?
Did you go on suffering from head
ache aud eye strain because there was
no relief ?
This has been the experience of
hundreds of people. The secret of the
matter is that they need glasses made
for them. No ready-made glasses in
the world will ever fit their eyes or
prove benefit. My business is to take
the measure of the eyes and order
glasses made especially for them If
there are any weak muscles or defec-
tive nerves see that the glasses put
them into normal condition If I
have glasses in stock that fulfill all
/ fit them for YOU while
you wait. Otherwise l send to the
factory for them. They must fit you
perfectly in every way.

HANNA TO COLORED MEN
Addresses a Crowd of 3 900 in
Chicago.

Chicago, Oct. ga crowd of three
thousand colored voters listened to an
address last night by Senator Hanna at
the First regiment aTmory. The sen
ator was very hoarse as a result of his
weeks campaigning in the west, but
nevertheless he succeeded in making
himself heard. He spoke briefly and
his remarks at all times greeted with
applause.
There was never a time" said Sen
ator Hanna, when those whose citizen
snip came with the birthday of the Re
publican party had greater cause to re-
joice- The cOlored troops are always in
line and ready for action. As long as
the Republican party is true to the prin-
ciples which attracted to it the colored
population of the United States, the
colored vote will never be divided.
"All the collateral issues injected into
this campaign by the Bryanites have
been for the sole purpose of bewildering
and leading public opinion astray as to
what was the real issue. When it comes
down to what we are most interested in
short sentence tells it: Let well enough
alone No man who loves his coun-
try, no man who is proud of his citizen
ship, no man who cares for his own ma
terial interests can have more than one
choice upon that question. Today we
are in the midst of the greatest era of
prosperity that this country ever knew;
but it is nothing more chan the natural
condition of a nation having, as we have.
the greatest natural resources OF any
any, the greatest people of any, full of
Industry, ingenuity and progress. It is
for the people to decide whether these
conditions shall continue"

personal invitations for the services in
this city to such members of the diplo-

connected with the state department, it
is impossible for the department to issue
a general official invitation to the diplo-

HOW IRELAND WILL VOTE.
Archbishop Gives His Reasons For
Supporting Mckinley.

New York, Oct 23.-Archbishop Ire
land has given out the following state
ment:
How do I intend to vote? It cannot
at first sight but seem more or less i'm
pertinent for any citizen to tell the pub
lie how he intends to vote. In voting
each citizen obeys the dictates of his
own sense of civic duty; he should sim
ply do this and leave it to others to do
likewise.
However, since a certain number of
newspapers have undertaken to say how
/ intend to vote, and in so doing have
misinterpreted my intention and have
not been unwilling to make political
capital out of my supposed vote, I Will
give to the question a categorical and
unmistakable reply intend to vote for
William Mckinley and Theodore ROOse-
welt.
In giving my vote for the candidates
of the Republican party 1 am satisfied
in my own conscience that / serve the
best interests of the country at home
and abroad; that / contribute to the
maintenance of the country's material
prosperity and of peace and goodwill
between the several classes of its popu-
lation; that I aid the country in bring
ing about the safest and most honorable
solutions of the complex problems which
confront it as the result of the late war
and in retaining for itself the exalted
position which it holds at present, COM
mercially and diplomatically, before 9TH
er nations of the world"
