LORD & TAYLOR WILL DISCONTINUE THEII
GRAND-sT STORE TODAY


GRAND-sT STORE TO-DAY
Lord Taylor have issued the following letter to
the customers Of their Grand-st store:
On Saturday evening, March 8. the Grand-st.
store will end honorable career, which taken
Catharine-st.. has extended without interruption
over period of more than three-quarters of
century.
1t is not without feelings of deep sentiment,
tnged with sadness and regret, that those VINO
mark-some of them for more than an average life
time, and for the best part of their livestock
forward to the final closing OF its doors and the
termination. so far as the old familiar surround
ngs concerned of the pleasant intercourse that
has existed between its customers and themselves
It's record IS probabiy without parallel IN the
commercial history of NewYork, and IL is believed
that no other store exists in the city frequented
by so many middle aged and even elderly people
whose memories go back to the time when as chill
dren they were led by the hand through its aisles
and past its counterS-a ver1taole wonderland then
in their childish eyes-by their mothers and even
their grardmothers. 1t is no uncommon thing TO
hear them say that their mothers baby clothes
and wedding clothes and mourning garb. as we'll
their own, were bought in this stOre and there
hundreds still living whose personal patronage
of the store extends over periods of thirty forty
and fifty years, during which time in many cases
these old customers it would be sad indeed if the
time hOnOred name over its doors. and the genial
and hospitabIe spirit and the spirit OF fair and
honorable dealing that nave characterized it and
made 1t memorable to die with il.
But it is pleasant to announce that the name of
Lord & Taylor will continue to live with the spirit
that it represents unchanged, and that the custom
ers of the Grand-st store will be warmly well
St. and that they will find there many OF the old
familiar faces and voices to greet them and make
wait them.
In closing the doors and bidding you goodby in
wide open and give you hearty welcome at Broad
way and Twentieth-st., and the tinge of regret
is dissipated by the expectation of minister

The bucket would soon be empty,
Without the drops in the well.
Only a poor little penny
1t was all I had to give;
But pennies make the dollars,
1t may help some cause to live.
Only some oItgrown garments
They were all had to spare;
But they'll help TO clothe the needy,
And the poor are everywhere.

Though the gift be poor and small
What doth He think of His children.
When they never give at all?

OUR OLD ENEMY.
Closer Relations Advocated by
Spanish Minister.

New York. July lS.-Emilio de Ojeda.
the new Spanish minister to this coun-
try, is quoted as saying:
''Spain, having lost her colonies,
fully recognizes the importance OF in
creasing her commercial relations in
order to adjust her affairs to the new
conditions. But what is needed as a
preparation for increased commercial
intercourse is better understanding
and more general intercourse between
the two peoples.
II find there is almost total ignorance
in popular sense in the United States
as to what Spain is, and there is even
greater ignorance, if possible, in Spain
regarding the United States. As be-
ginning, therefore, favor increased in.
tercourse between the two nations.
When the people of Spain and the
United States get to understand each
other better the commercial opportuni-
ties will follow.
land think a happy and practical
way OF creating this better understand
ing has been hit upon. The idea is TO
establish kind OF syndicate to COM
prise the rich bankers in Spain, the
railroad companies, the hotels, ETC., for
the purpose of encouraging American
tourists to visit our country. The plan
is to make the trip as cheap and in
every way as pleasant as possible, and
have all conveniences.

QUEER CONFUSION.
Lake Michigan Goes Through Pc.
culiar Performance.

Chicago July lS.-A phenomenon,
known to Geneva and Swiss lakes as a
"seiche, has made its appearance at
Lake Michigan. In queer convulsion
the lake sent big wave landward, and
resi- lents along the shore suddenly
found the water tapping at their door
steps. All along the lake front the
waves swept up over the breakwater or
over the beach. Steamers were tossed
about at their docks. smaller craft were
thrown on the shore, boats were broken
and in several instances loss of life was
narrowly averted. Two boys bathing
north of Lincoln park were saved after
they had been carried out by the reced-
ing wave. A fisherman was rescued by
the Evanston life-saving crew, and
another bather. an Evanston boy was
pulled out Of the water as he was in
danger OF being drowned.
At the weather bureau the barometer
indicated a sudden high pressure, fol-
lowed by an equally sudden drop. A
wave OF heavy atmospheric pressure
passed over the city, and as it struck
the lake, moving from West to East,
the water was pushed back and dashed
up over the land and then receded to
the normal water line.

STEEL CORPORATION.
First Detailed Statement of the
Assets of This Enormous
Financial Concern.

Newark, n. j., July l6.-The answer
of the United States Steel Corporation
to the suit brought by J. Aspinwall
Hodge. William H. Curtiss and Bernard
Smith. who asked for an Injunction to
prevent the company from carrying out
its bond conversion plan, has been filed
before Vice Chancellor Emery. When
the case came up before the vice chan
cellor it was put over until July %.
The answer is sworn to by Charles NJ
Schwab, as president. For the first
time since the organization of the steel
corporation, detailed statement of the
assets of the property and its subsidiary
companies is furnished. The assets, il
is stated, include 400 producing mills,
of the value of $500, 200, 900; IS blast
furnaces of the value of 5000, 900
iron and bessemer ore properties of the
value Of SOC, 900, 900; coal and coke
properties of the value of $4,000, 900
natural gas fields OF the value of 500.
600, 600; cash in banks to the amour,
OF see, 900 900, and over $50, 900, 900 OF
material in process of manufacture.
The total value OF the company &
property. including cash and cash as.
sets, is placed at 81 400, 200, 900 by Mr..
Schwab in an affidavit which is part OF
the corporation reply. The company
earnings are stated to to be at the rate
OF more than $140, 100000 year. A
saving OF $40, 0OO,0 year is credited
to the ore properties, and it is estimat-
ed that the ownership of transportation
facilities saves the company 81 900, 900
annually. The earnings OF the coke
and coal properties are stated to be
more than 81 900, 900 a month.
Mr.. Schwab in his affidavit main
tains that his position is such as to give
him knowledge OF the actual worth OF
the properties, and lists his estimates
OF their value. He says, among other
things, that the earnings of the corpor-
alton in the Is months of its existence
have been in excess Of 10 per cent. of
the entire capital stock.
