JACOBS & FASOLD.
Reopen at Their Old Stand.

Messrs. Jacobs & Fasold re-opened
their store at 209 Washington avenue,
yesterday, after being closed about one
month on account of building, caused
by the recent fire in the building, at
which time their stock and fixtures
We're entirely destroyed.
Their store today is undoubtedly the
most beautiful and artistic Of it's kind
in the city. Fifty feet of the front of
the store are devoted to the display of
pictures, picture framing, etc. This de-
partment Is finished in mahogany; the
ceiling of stereo relief, and the side
walls done in dark green burlap, maxi
ing very artistic finish. Passing un-
der a grilled arch we find about one
third of the entire floor space devoted
to the wall paper department. Here
the firm are showing all the newest
ideas in decorative art. the arrangement
for display being perfect. In the rear
of this department the space is occu-
pied by paints and oils, of which the
firm carry very extensive line.
The public is invited to inspect the
new quarters. During opening week
double trade stamps will be given with
all purchases.
Messrs. Jacobs & Fasold, who have
only been in business about a year,
deserve to be congratulated upon their
success. ~

spirit in which it is extended and with
grateful appreciation Of the gracious
welcome and generous hospitality that
awaits the homecoming of the Union
soldier TO the Nations Capital.
Washington is without a rival in the
veneration and affection of the surviving
veterans of the Grand Army of the Re
public. AS you truly say, they have a
deeper interest in it than other citizens
because they offered their lives for its
defense and because their valor was vic
torious and their devotion consecrated
it,
1T is the one great city in this great
Republic with which the sorrow aud
glories of the nations defenders are in
separably linked. and no soldier OF the
Union can walk its streets or look upon
the stately dome of its Capitol without
recalling the deeds and scenes. the sac
rifices and triumphs of an epoch that
was supremely heroic.
In response to your invitation, we
shall come from the uttermost parts OF
the continent. We will leave our homes
,singly and in little companies, but when
we reach your city we shall have be-
come mighty host of marching men

II HE announcement that the Thir-

sion was reached by unanimous vote oi
the executive committee of the q. A. ~

This is the gate through which you Jared,
Flushed with the faith of youth;
Light heart, hot zeaot, dreamer-all
Drunk with strong wine of truth
For when your the calling flies
Pierced with their shrill refrain
Your drumming pulses caught the time
And beat it through the brain.
Their tranced gaze peering meath the lids
Of somber -visaged Death,
Some sank beneath the icy blast
Of his nerve numbing breath:
Some fell where the reef-like ramparts rent
The battle-tides apart
Some where the channeled bayonets thrust
Their logic to the heart.
He where the flame-tongue rifle pits
Kissed forth their fierce desire,
He where the falling shell bloomed quick
In blood-red rose of fire.
Some where the whimpering mnie-song
Alternate rose and fell,
Some where the gun-deck's organ pipes
Sweled with the hymns of He'll
Death in the tangled cypress-swamp
Kissed peace this ones lips,
Death held the helm and steered when these
Tossed in their fever ships.

up the horses after returning home

"That night about midnight a hard

did those turkeys know that tree

was fully 50 years old and apparently
as stanch as ever. ! tell you, I've had

SETTLED THE DISPUTE.
Two Teutonfc Gentlemen Have an
Argument About a Boat Nhich
Is AmicabIy Decided.

One of the lake passenger steamers
had Just passed out of the river at
the Lake Erie exit, and was plowlng
her way in the direction of Cleveland.
The wind was blowing at brisk rate
so briskly, indeed, as to unhinge
sidecombs and send them flying TO a
watery grave. Among those few that
remained on the exposed part OF the
upper deck conversation was carried
on under difficulties, albeit very in
teresting verbal passage was waited
to windward. A group Of Teutons-
well-fed and jolly-looking taken
refuge under the lee of the parlor,
and were discussing various matters
in tongue-twisting dialect. As the
steamer passed close to the Bar Point
lightship an animated argument arose
as to the nature of the strengthening
craft that stands out in the lake like
an abandoned nautical orphan, relates
the Detroit Free Press.
'yhas it is it?" queried one of the
MISUNDERSTANDING gentlemen who
was apparently a guest of the others
and a stranger in these parts.
"0h, dot is Won off our beeg fishing
Doadts," replied he Of the billy-goat

One of the others looked at him
commiseratingly.
"Vhadt are you talking aboudt?"
said he. dot is a tow parge, und
she is Waiting for der steamer, which
has gone back to der city to coal oop."
There were various similar claims as
TO the identity and uses Of the odd
looking boat, and the argument finally
resulted in several small wagers be-
ing placed.
But how viii we decision dis bet2"
said one of the Teutons.
1--WE viii leaf idt 10 dis gentleman"
said another, indicating a grave-look-
ing chap, who had been quiet listener
to the disjointed dialogue.
He turned toward the disputants
when appealed to, and solemnly OBJ
served:
Gentlemen, regret to say you are
all wrong. That is a Canadian war
vessel"
"Oh-o-o-o-o," said one German.
"So-o-o-o-o," comprehensively re.
marked another, 1--WE mide have

Wives are still obtained by purchase
In parts Of Russian Europe. In the
district of Kamyschin, on the Nolga
for example, this is practically the only
way in which marriages are brought
about. The price of a pretty girl from
a well-to-do family ranges from $50 to
800, and in special cases a much high
er sum is obtained. In the villages the
lowest price is about S25. It's custom
airy for the fathers Of the intending
bride and bridegroom to haggle for a
long time over the price TO be paid for
the lady. A young farmer whose faith

MADE THE FIRST REVOLVER.
Io.eph shIrk Was the Inventor of
Thts Modern Handy eapon OF
Destruction.

The majority " people can scarce
IL remember the time when there was
no revolver. yet the fact is that II IS
a modern weapon and in it, form Of
real efficiency is less than half cen
tury old. saws an eastern exchange.
1t was the invention Of Joseph shirk,
a citizen Of Lancaster county Pennsyl-
yania, a county which also boasts Of
Robert Fulton, who, if not the IN
ventor Of the steamboat, was certainly
the man who introduced the art Of
steam navigation successfully and Is
largely to be credited with the wonder
ful results which have followed and
its revolutionary effects on commerce
and civilization.
Before the civil war there were the
old-fashioned pepper-boxes, which
were dangerous 70 the user; then
came the navy" which had to be load
ed like a musket, each barrel requlf-
ing separate attention, and usually be
ing ineffective except at point-Dlank
range. Then followed the present
weapon of destruction, which is much
more effective than the muskets Of our
fathers. Out of the revolver was
evolved the repeating rife Of to-day
which has so far changed the whole
tactics and strategy Of war that Jean
De Bloch felt that a great war could
never again take place. Had he lived
to see the end Of the late war in South
Africa he would have been confirmed
in his views
