The Diamond Garment
Cutter.

Probably no article used in the
household will enable the family to
save more money, cost considered,
than the Diamond Garment Cutter.
The instruction in the use of this
system is a thorough and complete
education in the cutting and fitting
and making of any style or kind OF
garment worn.

BOAT FOR THE JACKIES'
Prospects Bright for Passage of
Appropriation by Con-
gress.
FAVORED BY SECRETARY OF NAVY.

Committee ON Naval Affairs Also Sup
porting Bill, the Immediate Benefits of
which Would Fall to the Reserves Here
and at Moline. Alton and ouIncy-Gen.
Reece at Work.
Prospects are growing brighter
daily for the passage of bill by the
present congress appropriating $40O.
900 for the construction of gunboat
for the use of the naval militia on the
Mississippi river, according to reports
from Washington. The bill was in
troduced recently by Congress man
Marsh. and is said to meet the APP
prevail of the secretary of the navy
and the committee on naval affairs, as
well as of many representatives from
the Mississippi valley.
The immediate benefit would fall to
the I'd ships crew of the Illinois
naval militia, whose attachments are
located at Rock Island, Moline, Alton
and Quincy, and the naval militia of
Chicago might also take an occasional
cruise on the rivers, but the greatest
good to be accomplished by the con-
struction of such vessel would be
the encouragement which it would
give for the formation of a naval
militia in all the states reached by the
Mississippi system. This is the
ground on which the friends of the
bill are urging its passage through
congress.
