PEOPLE IN GLASS HOUSES


Must not throw stones, and mer-
chants with plate glass fronts must be
particular not to offer bargains so daz-
zling as to invite.a glass-breaking rush.
McGrath & Sons big clothing sale
of Friday, Jan. 25, was not only rec
ord-breaker but plate-glass smasher
as well.
An eye witness, In a letter to a
friend, thus describes the mad sweep
ing rush at the hour of opening.
"Twas on the stroke of and hun
dreds of eager buyers pressed up close
to the big glass door, waiting for the
signal. stood with my hand on the
door latch tgot there at 5 a. M hem
med in on all sides by huge mass of
people. Every available inch of side
walk and half the street was occupied.
The crowd looked bigger than tho ia.
nous Santa Claus aggregation of a
few weeks ago, and the cry was, Still
they Gomez
"Men nearest the door hung on like
grim death to their 'coign of vantage.
One big, strapping fellow, booted and
spurred, glued himself to the plate
glass door and impatiently played tit
tattoo on the glass door with the
butt end of his huge riding whip.
He was closely pressed by the surging
crowd and looking backward l saw
many an eye in fine frenzy rolling at
the prospect of scooping a $1,000
Schloss Bros. suit for the paltry sum
of 1888.
81 saw Abshagen thrust the key in the
door as the gong sounded, but before
he could turn the key, the crowd with
one accord dashed forward and the big
man was forcibly hurled through the
plate glass door in true circus style,
smashing the plate-glass to smither-
Gems. Without pausing to pick the
glass splinters from his eyes or bind
up his wounds the man in front
gave an Indian war whoop, dash
ed up stairs at the head of the
crowd and Selling $3.50 suit,
yelled, Eureka The sacrifice sale
was on! The result was daz-
cling success and not a customer left
unsuited. I talked with only one man
who seemed cut up on account of the
big sale. BY the way, he claimed to be
responsible for the smashed glass.
Said he did it in getting out in hurry
because John Awkward had him al
most persuaded to spend his last
80 cents for pair of bargain pants.
John Already had sold him, he said,
2 ten cent vests, fine suits, 6 pairs
of pants and was making supreme
effort to clean him up, lock, stock and
barrel.
"His little sea story will be disbe-
lieved by all who know the modest
and retiring disposition of McGrath
head clothing man. 1t is we'll known
fact that Aylward is tongue-tied and
was never known to push sale-that
is after he had driven it home. Fur
Their particulars regarding the big
clothing sale will be explained by me
on the date of the next big gathering
at McGrath & Sons. This will be on
Bargain Shoe day, Friday, Feb. 18th.
Hoping to meet my friends there
on this occasion and that we will
again have a smashing good time, l
remain, Yours truly,
ELI PERKINS"

Persons who suffer from indigestion
can not expect to live long, because
they can not eat the food required to
nourish the body and the products of
the undigested foods they do eat
poison the blood. 1t is important to
cure Indigestion as soon as possible,
and the best method of doing this is
to use the preparation known as Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure. 1t digests what you
eat and restores all the digestive or
gans to perfect health. G. E. Grafton

Pillsbury, the American Chess Champion

Pillsbury, the American Chess Champion
to Visit Brookhaven.
On Feb. 4th, Brookhaven is to have
the honor of entertaining Harry Mel
son Pillsbury, the great chess player.
Mr.. Pillsbury is making tour of the
country and en- route to New Orleans
will stop over a day in this city. The
exhibitions of chess given by this gen
tleman border Oh the marvellous.
When a generation ago, the great Paul
Mosphy, at Philadelphia, successfully
played four games blindfolded, the
world hailed the feat as something won
derful-and it was. But last winter, at
New Orleans, Mr.. Pillsbury conducted
sixteen games simultaneously, blind
folded, against sixteen of the strong
est players that the Chess, Checkers
and Whist Club could muster and
lost only one of the games. Two
weeks later, at Philadelphia he accom-
plished the unheardof feat in blind
folded play of playing seventeen
games simultaneously without losing
game. Mr.. Pillsbury, while in Brook
haven, will give an exhibition of his
skill and arrangements are being m lde
to enable the public to witness his
powers. This will be privilege which
few towns the size of Brookhaven have
ever enjoyed, but the champion has
heard of the chess enthusiasm that
here exists, and in carrying out his
plan of visiting the representative
chess towns of each state through
which he passes in his tour, has select
ed Brookhaven as his stopping place
in Mississippi.

ENCOURAGING NEWS
COMES FROM MANILA

Washington, March 1S.-Gcneral
Macarthur will remain in command OF
the Philippines until the civil govern
ment is established. That the War
Department expects such govern
ment to be established within the next
two months is evident, as it has been
determined that General Chaffee will
succeed General Macarthur as com
mander of the forces in the Philip
pines. General Chaffee and his force
in China will said from Taku about
the last of April. He ranks General
Macarthur and would naturally be in
command, but If the civil government
is not established in that time Gen
eral Macarthur will continue 10 be the
military governor and commander
The War Department feels very con-
fidcnt that civil government will be
successfully established and that the
hard fighting for the army is practical
ly at an end. The dispatch from Gen
eral Macarthur to-day is regarded as
very encouraging. No information
has been received Mt the department
either through military or unofficial
channels regarding Aguinaldo, but the
impression prevails that he is dead or
has disappeared to some of the very
remote Islands, seeking safety.

CHARGES RUSSIA
WITH BAD FAITH

London, March 1S.--Dr. Morrison,
wiring to the Times from pckin, says:
Russia, by her refusal to support
the powers in their demand for, the
punishment of the guilty officials has
finally thrown OFF the mask. A plea
FOR leniency is hardly serious, coming
from power whose troops last sum
mcr were guilty of rcprisals upon the
Chinese scarcely less feroclous than the
acts of the Boxers themselves.
''ltussia's $ action is only cXplicablc as
the fulfllment of a private compact
with Ii Hung Chang to throw the con
cert overheard. in return for conccs-
sions securing her separate interests"
In the course of a later telegram DIR.
Morrison says:
Chinese officials say thcy have been
informed from st. Petersburg that Rus
sia abandons her claims to exclusive
rights in Mongolia and TUrl.estan and
consents to modify the Stringcncy of
her control of the civil administration
of Manchuria. agreeing that the con-
vcntion shall be published as soon rs it
is signed in st. Petersburg fortnight
hence.
This is the first check inflicted upon
Russian diplomacy in China since Lord
Salisbury was cnjolcd into the with
drawal of the British troops from
Port Arthur in 1898: and it cannot fail
profoundly to modify the situation by
convincing the Chinese that there still
exist international combinations cap
able Of maintaining the equilibrium of
the FAR East"
