Colgate Glee and Mandolin Clubs.

Last evening in the Berean Baptist
church an audience of about 100 of
Carbondale's aristocracy listened en-
Enthusiastically to a concert given by the
Colgate University musical organiza-
tions The Glee club. composed of 10
picked men, rendered exceptionally
high-class music. Their best selection
was without doubt "The Bridge" as
arranged by Shattuck. To each selec-
tion they We're compelled by enthusi-
astic applause to give encores, which
We're rOlliclling college songs sung with
life and vim in true college style. The
Mandolin club showed careful train
ing. The shepherd Boy" by Wilson,
and '"Uliserere," from IL Trovatore,
were rendered in Il mastery way. The
encores consisted of popular dances,
marches and cake walks. The quar-
tette consisted of four well-traned and
well-balanced voices. The rendering
of Kathleen MaVourneen" was excel
lent. Mr.. Root shows remarkable tai
ent in his two solos. He takes low D
in his bass solo as easily as most bas-
SOS take F. His voice is of better
quality in low register, and his choice
of lis selection was wise. The Ladies'
Aid society, assisted by the pastor
'4teW II. j. Whalen, made Il financial
success Of the venture, and Carbondale
earnestly hopes to see the Colgate boys
again. The following Is the programme
as it appears in the tasty folders, but
it represents only one-half of the con-
cert, as each number was followed by
an encore:

Modern conditions of life call for mod
ern methods Of supplying the wants Of
humanity. The old ideas of merchandising
have passed away-at least as far as the
large cities are concerned. The central
thought to-day is to bring the producer
and the consumer as near together as pos
sible and to simplify much as may be
the machinery of production and distri
button. This should mean a lessening of
the cost of necessaries and luxuries and
a much larger degree of convenience for
the buyer in obtaining such articles as
he wants.
These ideas are the underlying prin-
ciples of the modern department store.
Wisely conducted such store should be
of the utmost value to the public. 1t is
81 firm belief in such principles and d
pusiness-like application of them to local
conditions that leads the Powers Mercan-
tile Company of Minneapolis to claim
with confidence that it has solved some
of the most difficult problems Of supply
ing the manifold needs Of the people. This
solution may be said in a general way to
be found in the facts:
First-That the company through its
seventy departments sells practically
everything needed in furnishing and fitting
up home as we'll as everything needed tc
supply the daily wants of the occupants.
Second-That it buys wholly from first
hands-from manufacturers-and imports
great quantities of goods direct from for
al trio
Third-That it has unparalleled facil1-
ties for displaying its goods-its establish
ment being the largest, lightest and most
conveniently arranged of any in the west
outside of Chicago.
One need but recall the methods Of re-
failing goods in vogue generation back
to understand at once what a remarkable
advance has been made in methods. Fol
instance, in fitting up a new house ou1
mothers and fathers were ordinarily
obliged to arrange for their paper hang
tngs in one store, for their decorations in
another, for their curtains and draperies
at third, and probably for rugs and car
pets at a fourth. Furniture was invariably
sold in separate establishment, while
stoves must be bought of stove store
and china and glassware at still another
place. For many small items regular
hardware store had to be sought out. Sill.
verware was found at yet another shop
possibly clocks at another; while the mint
of the older housekeeper will readily re
call other items of household fitting which
it was necessary to buy at the inconven1
ence of still further search among a grea
variety of small stores. -..-.

the morning. 1t is necessary for this work
to go on without cessation.
Another odd notion, to the outsider. is
that a crew Of carpenters must be kept
, constantly at work. The building is so
large that there is always work for car
penters. 1t is the same with painters;
something is always ready to be refreshed
with oils and colors.f
With the exception of those workers
whose duties make 1T necessary. the en-
p1Cyes Of. the Powers company have COM
paratively short hours. The big store
does not open in the morning until $3.50,
and closes at $50 in the afternoon. AS
far az known it is the only store west of
New York which follows this custom. The
holiday season is of course excepted, as it
must be everywhere.
IL 1t is one of the principles of the Powers
company that while it strives to have on
hand large variety of mediums priced
goods, all it sells, whether low-priced or
high-priced, must be of good quality. 1t
must be worth the price whether it sells
for five cents or five dollars or $500. This
point was emphasized by the manager
of the furniture department in speaking
Of the grade of goods with which this
large area on the third floor is filled. II
a piece of furniture is not substantial and
we'll built in every way, whether 1T be
the moderate class Of goods designed
for. the workingman's home or the finest
grade which will find its way to the efe-
CANT residence. it is not wanted
In the furniture department the stock
Is now fresh After the holidays heavy
clearance sales were held in this depart
ment and the goods thus disposed of
were replaced by new stock which rep
resents the later patterns and designs
ofyeastern and local manufacturers. One
OF the newer ideas in iron bedsteads is

be needed for working up by the sklllful
home fingers into things which shall have
tho added value of having been made by
the home maker herself.
But when the home has been thoroughly
furnished the work OF the modern de-
partment store has but just begun. The
pantry and storeroom must be filled and
the family must be clothed and fed. Its
literary and musical tastes developed, it's
artistic senses cultivated it's ills cured
and its pleasure not forgotten.
How far all the manifold wants Of the
human being can be attended to under
one roof may be seen pretty clearly by
running through the following list OF the
departments maintained in the Powers
Mercantile Company's establishment:

hung for stated periods for the use of GER
tain customers. Some prefer meat that
has hung in the cooling room for as days;
others want it cut up much sooner.
Adjoining the large cooling room is a
small room where temperature of "a de-
grees is maintained This is the place
for freezing anything or for keeping meats
or fish which may have been received

cut steaks waiting for a demand from the

To secure these Interchangeable tempera
lures a mechanical refrigerating plant is
kept in constant operation, night and day.
THERE'S no trusting to the vageries Of the
ice man or the unfortunate, effects OF sud-
den changes in temperature outside. This
plant, of course, means large invest
ment in machinery and apparatus and the
constant employment OF a force Of engi
neers and fireman day and night. The
whole plant and series of rooms consti-
tutes the finest meat handling and selling
