NEW TAILORS ARB POPULAR
Scotch WOOlen Company Characterized by
Great Success Since Its Opening Here

The Scotch WoOlen Company, which
opened a store at No. GIT Market
street about a month ago has already
sprang into popularity, not only be-
cause of the reasonable one-price fea-
ture of their establishment, but also be-
cause their goods will stand any in
spection that they may be subjected to-
Their store is one of the most attrac-
tive in the city, and their clerks are
courteous Customers are made to-
feel at home, and every attention is
given to them.
The store has several features which
recommend It to the great public favor,
which it is receiving. The Officers of
the company say that the business
they have already done in Wilmington
is four times greater than they antici-
pated, when they opened their estab-
llishment. This is largely due to the
nice grade of goods the company
handles, and also to their good work
manship in turning out made-to-order
suits at SIS. The company only has
one price for suits and overcoats, and
that is SIS, and as their motto reads
nothing more and nothing less"
The Scotch Woolen Company saves
1.-THE buying public in several ways.
Their goods come direct from the mill
to the consumers, thus cutting out the
profits of the middleman. and also sew
oral freight charges. All their clothes
are made in Wilmington. Every gar
ment is fitted and cut i'm this city. The
workroOms of the company are ON THE
west side of Market street below Sew
lenth. and here a force of worlmen are
lkept busy. Every tailor employed by
the Scotch Woolen Company is union
man. No one is allowed to work in the
lshop unless he has a union card
Therefore every suit, overcoat and gar
lment made by the company is made
lbv union hands and has also that to
recommend it to the public.
The cutters of the company are COM
petent in every respect. The concern
lxeeps not only abreast, but a little
ahead of the prevailing styles. Theil
lclothes are made in their own mills
Therefore in many cases the company
z sets the style in checks. plaids ant
stripes. AS the cloth is all made in th'
mills of the company, a large majority
lof them are exclusive designs with th'
Scotch Wooden Company. The fac
that the patronage of the new stor'
llias been so great establishes the fac
that it is a popular concern, beyon'
any question.

.r,,r ARMY OF THE LEAGUE'

The Democratic League, Of This city
seems bent on self-destruction, and
DESPITE the warnings of the press, in
slsts on perpetratng folly after folly
A few days since in a manifesto IL took
occasion to demand that the Hon.
George Gray should step to the foot
lights and proclaim his purpose, never
TO allow the use Of his name as candi-
date for United states senator IL took
much OF the sting out of dts fulmina-
lion. however. by the humorous re-
mark that the Judge is "a political
nonentity." OF course, the reputable
papers took up the matter, since the
public generally was Interested, and
since 1t was too amusing to resist com
ment Now the League comes back IN
a solar plexus blow aimed at two OF
our contemporaries, in which there Is
more richness.
Now this is a Democratic show, and
as a participant we are disqualified,
but it may not be inappropriate for us
to make certain remarks from the side
lines. We notice that the League OBJ

epithets. asses, "demagogues, "
"blathersdtes" and "cranks." 1t was
not necessary to use such terms for it

and writing beneath this is a horse. -
What the Leaguers are when they is
sue such manifestos is sufficiently OBJ
vious without comment,
The League stands on the principle
that "all men are created equal" but 1t
says nothing about the different way
in which they have made use OF their
opportunities. II it would have us in
fer that since they have been created
equal, they remain equal. then Judge
Gray is raised to a position of equality
with the distinguished members of tn,
League. and may aspire to The sam'
honors as the person who drew the
resolution. Think of it, something like
10000 Democrats in the State and al
are equal This leads us to the observa'
tion that the members OF the League
have made 1t plain THAT some OF them
are equal" to anything-especially in
the Dogberry line. But we fail to see
how it Is consistent under that princi
pie to exclude Judge Gray from The
senatorial race for the enunciation O
the principle that "all men are created
equal, and have been getting more so

may stand side by side with the Hon

modern Henry Of Navarro. Evidenu

Flowers of the Cranberry.

). One Of the daintiest of wild flowers
of June is the blossom Of that time
honored concomitant of roast turkey,
the cranberry. While, however, every
body knows the berry, few are ac-
quainted with the flower, for the peat
boys where it blows in the choice fell
loWship of the stately pitcher plant
and the golden club and of many a
rare orchid are quite remote from the
beaten paths Of travel The cranberry
plant is a small, slender, somewhat
trailing shrub, with the neatest of
evergreen leaves, from amid which a
few threadlike stalks lift their nodding
flowers. When fully expanded, the
pink lobes of each corolla are curled
back like ily's, and from the heart
Of them the compressed stamens pro-
trude in the shape Of a spear point or
beak. The imaginative may see in
this long beaked little blossom a re-
semblance to tiny cranes head,
whence some hard pressed etymologist
has thought to derive the word cram
berry-that is, crane-berry-"Country

said the man who keeps the railroad

change. For instance, one man has
been buying two evening papers from
me every afternoon for several years.
If he has any pennies, never see them.
He always throws down a nickel, picks
up his two papers from the pile and
then takes three pieces of candy, which
he chews while waiting for his train.

lowed suit, and now it's quite the regu-

men. The four claws of the outer ring
in open work support the setting of a
sharply pointed pyramidal diamond,
such as was then coveted for writing
on glass. The shank bears a fanciful
resemblance to a serpent swallowing
bird, of which only the claws con-
Meeting the face remain in sight.
It was with a similar ring Raleigh
wrote the words on a window pane,
