liShmCHt Of the Mcmahon Brothers

If tho busy housewife should wan any
imaginable article thought necessary to
furnish or ornament dwelling, she
should visit the curio sale OF Nc
Mahon Brothers. at Fifth and King
streets. There she will find everything
she could desire, from parlor suite 10
kitchen utensils. She would also. be
pleased TO note the Row price at which
valuable articles are sold. IL is almost
impossible 10 name everything in the
store. A person can see himself on every
hand, in mirrors large and small, and Of
every description. One can sit in ancient
arm chairs curiously carved in oak, or in
rockers made according to the latest de-
signs One may recline at leisure on
couches and gaze at costly pictures in
fine frames, OF foreign or domestic life,
of landscapes. and Of the ocean One
small article which pleases the children
who visit the sale, is cow, which, when
the head is turned To one side, gives an
exact imitation of the voice OF the real
animal. Mostly women attend the sale
and they amuse themselves by testing all
the articles in the store Very few leave
without having made a purchase.

Stabbed len Years Ago and Carried Blade
in Body Since

James Mcclure. formerly Of this city
now of Chester, underwent an operation
in Philadelphia yesterday, to have a
knife blade removed from his stomach
While attending a party at Harc's Cor.
ner over ten years ago, he was stabbed
by man with whom he had trouble and
the blade broke off and remained I'M the
wound unknown to the attending physi-
clans. Mcclure had been suffering re.
Gently and consulted Dr. Flynn, a spe-
cialist of Philadelphia, and he suggested
an operation.
The blade, when removed, was covered
with rust and why blood poisoning had
not resulted from its being sccrcted in

something that goes beyond the physi-
clans knowledge. Mr. McGuirc is the
son OF Edward Mcclure, who is in the

the nomination dinner, and the torch
light procession assumes more gigantic
proportions on the occasion of the
post election function.
This same spirit prevails also among
nations. Mark the clamorous demands
for recognition which sound across
the Atlantic, and the no less noisy
protestations Of friendship from the
antipodes, since the United States
stepped into prominence in the politi-
cal arena of the world.
With England, Germany, Russia,
France, Japan, in fact, all nations,
kissing our hands and extending felici-
tations, we are led to wonder as
wonders the successful, candidate,
where in the world our opponent drew
his votes from.
That Spain had the moral, if not
tangible, support of one or more of the
powers, is certain. Which was it?
With this question before us, would,
perhaps, be inadvisable to disband our
armies, dismantle our Notifications,
and divert the navy to commercial
uses, solely OH account Of the hypo-
critical plaudits of band of foaters
who, it will be noted, carried no
banners in our parade, until the votes
had been counted.
The Conservative, 1902-02-20

The recent rul-
HAVE NO FEAR. ing of the post
master-ge eral,
with regard to the transportation Of
second class mail matter, is intended
to aid, rather than to hinder, those
publishers Of bona fide journals who
do legitimate business.
Abuses Of the law governing the
mailing of second class matter are
wholly responsible for the annual
postal deficit, of $12, 900, 900. and a
correction OF these abuses would
eliminate that deficit, and grow in it's
stead a surplus of probably $40, 900, 600.
The sending of books through the
mails as second class matter, and the
continual flooding of the country with
fictitious publications, whose mission
is, not to instruct the reader but
simply to serve as all advertising
medium, are pointed out as perhaps
the most fragrant of the many evasions
of the present law.
These evils corrected, consider
able amount of money formerly ex-
pended in publishing "fake" iourn-
ais, will flow into the Golfers of those
who are engaged in printing periodi-
calls MS business, not as a side-line.
