DRESS GOODS

Take all the staple dress goods for granted. We always have the prettiest of seasonable dress goods in summer-every- thing from the plainest white muslin, the prettiest dimities, the least conspicuous ginghams, all the way through the organ dies and mousseiine de soie, up to the ex- quisite novelties that we bring each year from Paris.
 In winter time the same is true. The broadest variety, all the way from the sim pie 35c serge-or, if you uwant it, half-wool and half-cotton dress goods-up to the rich est novelties that Europe turns out.
 But the novelties are peculiar. Each year man goes to Europe, particularly to Paris, where he sees the best that the world has made: he choses from what he sees, and occasionally has beautiful things made after his own designs. These things, of course, nobody else in America gets, so that much of our dsess goods is exclusive as well as novel.
 But that doesn't account for the price of it. It is notable fact that we undersell all of the stores in Philadelphia, and in New York our stores undersell the New York stores.
 It comes from the vast quantities that we are able to buy and sell-which gives US rarely small cost We pass it on to you at just the same profit as other people-buy- ing cheaper makes it possible to sell cheaper.

SILKS.

Up until last year we did fairly good business in silks. It was perhaps as dis tnguished as the best stores of the country did. But an opportunity came for us to get back the leadership which had drifted during the war to New York and Boston.
 You may be sure we seized it eagerly. In two months we bought and sold more than 100000 yards of silks, so that doors of commerce closed to other silk stores are open to us. We see often what nobody else gets peep at and the vast quantities we have handled have made us so famous that importers of silk arc anxious to get our trade. Many of them even reduce their profit to get it. So the silks are cheaper, the variety is greater, and there are more exclusive things here than elsewhere in the United States.
 Isn't it better for maker to sell great quantities at small profit than not so much at little proft7 That's the secret of our low prices.
 And the secret of our success is that we are always glad to take back what we have sold at exactly what we have sold it for, and give you back your money-but the things must be fresh.

Lucy Wong Hurled According to Ma

The burial of Lucy Wong. the young
Chinese iaundryman who died from con-
sumption at the Park View Sanitarium
Friday, took place yesterday in the poor
field in Laurel Grove Cemetery 1t was
attended by some eight or ten of the
friends and fellow countrymen of the dead
man, and by quite a curious throng of
persons who hoped to see the peculiar
rites with which the Chinese inter their
dead.
In this they were not wholly disappoint-
Il, for though the elaborate ceremony of
the Chinese funeral service was not gone
through, .et that part of it consisting. of
the burning of incense, and of paper
prayers for the repose of the dead was
given.
Sam Lee, who knew Lucy Wong we'll,
and was one of the chief mourners at the
funeral. said last night that an effort had
been made to secure the services of a
clergyman TO conduct services at tho
grave. but that all that had beeen ap-
preached had declined owing to church
engagements.
As is customary. the bon of Lucy will

WANT FANS CONNECTED.
Sudden Appearance of Warm Wealth
err Made Demand Great.

The very sudden appearance of warm
weather this spring made the demand for
electrical connection for. the operation of
fans so great that il has been impossible
for the Edison Electric Illuminating Com
pany to satisfy all who have sought it's
services. Had the warm weather come
more gradually there would have been no
such rush of orders for connections. With
the jump of the thermometer to summer
beat, however, appeared anxious and per-
spring citizens, all demanding that conf
nections be made at once, so that they
might put their fans in operation.
When the fans are cut off for the fall
and winter the wires are disconnected on
the exterior OF the buildings. When it is
desired to renew the connections linemen
have 10 spend some time ON each fan.
Orders in the meantime, If there has been
a sudden visitation of warm weather as
this spring, have been pouring into the
Office of the Electric Illuminating Com
pany. They are put on file and are given
to the electricians 10 be filed In the or
der in which they were received. This
accounts for the delay that owners of fans
have noted and complained of. There are
about l,Oo0 electric fans in buildings in

BUILDING BREWERY RAPIDLY.
What Herman Winter Is Doing at
His ThunderboIt Road site.

Work on the brewing establishment OF
Mr.. Herman Winter, on the Thunderbolt
road, near the Catholic Cemetery, is be-
ing pushed rapidly. Mr.. Winter said yes
torday that he expects to have the ma
chinery in operation within the next six
weeks. Work on the bottling factory will
begin this morning and the warehouse
will follow.
The buildings have been going up for
several weeks aud have attracted great
deal of attention. Visitors were not per-
mitted to inspect the place, and many in
quiries were made as to the use for which
the structures were intended. The main
building is three and "a half stories high,
and the interior finishing is of hard wood.
The engine room is located in this build
ing. Mr. Winter states that the ca
pacity of the plant that he is erecting
will be $4,000 gallons a year. The brew
cry will be the first of its kind built in
the South, although there are a large
number in the North and West. Wise
beer is notwithstanding and contains but
a small per cent of alcohol.
At present fifty men are employed on
the buildings and the number will be in
creased when operations begin. 1t is Mr..
Winters intention to erect quiet num-
Der of cottages near the brewery for the
convenience of those in his employ. Work
on the cottages will be begun next week.
The stables completed last week were
built for twenty horses and half that num-
Der of wagons will be put in service. The
smokestack has already arrived, al
though it has not yet been put up. 1t is
ninety-six feet high and is the largest in
the city.
Mr.. Winter has beautiful home on the
grounds and his place has been one of the
attractions for strangers in the city.
When he purchased the property it con-
tanned a COW stable and there was no
system of drainage. The place has now
been transformed into a beautiful garden,
with an artesian pool and other atrac-
tons. Mr.. Winter is very fond of flow
ers and last week had 1870 rose trees put
in the ground. His place on the Thunder
bolt road is his hobby, and it is an ideal
country home. In talking with a repre-
sentative of the Morning News yester-
day, Mr.. Winter recalled that he built
the first brewery in Savannah after
wards an ice factory, later another brew
cry, and closed by opening the first mu-
sic hall in this city
