Fall Clothes

You are glad, Of course, to pay the cost
Of good cloth and making; for you know that
they will earn every cent in wear alone-not
to mention the satisfaction that you get from
being well-dressed.
We have not the only good clothes in
Philadelphia; but there are particular rea-
sons why we can and do sell good clothes for
less than anybody else.
1t is an old saying that you get thing we'll
done you have got do it yourself Of course can't
personally make every of the thousands upon thou
sands of suits and that Make but do watch
every step of the making know how everything go
ing to be DONE and examine everything before put

roundabout want, and we see that you get it
The only way know that is to have your factory
and do your own work
Now to Cost. Our factory exists only for the bene
fit of 1t makes money delivers the goods

Murdered in His Home.

James Larkins, 81 years old, who led
the life Of hermit on the shores Of
Harvey's Lake, the popular summer
resort, was found dead in his cabin
yesterday. He had been murdered
during the night. His throat was cut
almost from ear to ear, and there were
several stab wounds on the body.
Samuel Keller spent the night with
Larkins, and as they had a bottle oil
whisky between them the supposition Is
that they quarreled over the liquor and
then started to fight, using their huge
pocket knives for weapons
The bowling Of dog attracted atten.
ton to Larkins' cottage yesterday. A
neighbor went in and found the owner
dead on the floor. Nearby was Keller
who was in stupor. His clothes were
covered with blood, and be had a stab
wound on the neck, but it was only a
slight one. Keller was at once placed
under arrest and lodged in the county
Jail to await a hearing.
The prisoner says he does not know
how his friend met his death. He
thought he heard him cry for help at an
early hour yesterday morning. Keller
is 60 years OF age and well-kuown.

Eiqht-Hour-Day Tomorrow.

The members of the United Mine
Workers in the anthracite and bitumin-
Gus regions will observe new holiday
tomorrow. April is known as Eight
Hour-Day, and no member of the
miners union will work tomorrow, ex-
cepting those whose positions are such
that their services are necessary to keep
the colliery in condition.
For few years past the day has been
observed in portions of the bituminous
fields, but this year it is expected that
1t will be celebrated in every state
whore the United Mine Workers has a
member.
The members OF the union on the
South Side will parade tomorrow, and
outside of this there will be no formal
observance of the day in the Lehigh
region.

Unique Politician Dead.

David A. Potts, Of Wilkesbarre, one OF
the most unique politicians in the state,
was found dead In bed Saturday morn
Ing, having expired during the night of
heart disease. Potts was born in
England 55 years ago. He came to
this county when boy and has worked
in the mines all his life.
Thirty-four years ago he ran for Office
on the Labor ticket and every year since
he has been candidate for some office
in the county, both municipal and state
elections, but was never elected. At
the end of every campaign, when he
was defeated, he would apply for an
appointment, but never secured poll
tical position In the thirty-four years he
was seeking one.

Thursday that they would not work
next day, it being Good Friday, and a
majority OF the employees wished to
appropriately observe the holiday. On
Saturday the breaker whistle blew the

rived at the slopes they were notified
that they were suspended until Tuesday
All were sent home with instructions 10

Spotted With Telescopes.

All last week the hills surrounding
the Woodward and the Pettebone
breakers of the Delaware, Lackawauna
and Western Company, near Wilkes
barre, have bristled with telescopes
Committees Of the union mine workers
employed at these two colieries, but at
present locked out, have been stationed
at adva ntageous points and their glasses
have enabled them to identify men at
work in and about the engine, fan and
pump houses, at the head of the shaft S

C0ray Urged to Stand.

A. Coray, who represented the
Second district In the last legislature,
has not yet signified his intention of
being a candidate for reelection,
although his friends want him to enter
the race Mr.. Coray himself says: II
felt that l would not be called upon to
be candidate again. There are many
good men in the district who would
make their mark in the house"
Mr.. Coray's reluctance to be a candi-
date is due to the fact that his health is
not good, and he thinks that If he should
take long rest it would be better for
him. But the indications are that Mr..
Coray's friends will insist upon his being
a candidate. They will be satisfied with
no one else, and he may thus be forced
into the fight.
Last week a paper which supports
the Quay faction published an article
to the effect that Mr.. Coray overthrow
his party in the last election; that he is
now Democrat, and II he goes back to
the legislature it must be as a Democrat.
The Wilkesbarre Record, which sup
ported the Democratic Union ticket last
fall, says in answer to the attacks upon
Mr.. Coray: Let the machine bosses in
this county who have control of the
party organization follow the advice of
their party organ and rule E. A. Coray

Easter in FreeIand.

Notwithstanding the fact that Easter
Sunday came early this year, the
weather yesterday was remarkably fair
and pleasant In the forenoon and the
greater portion of the afternoon.
Toward evening dark clouds gathered
and cold showers marred the pleasures
OF the promenaders.
The services at the churches Of town
were attended by unusually large num-
bers. Special music or sermons were
given in several and helped to draw the
non-church goers to the edihces.

THEATRICAL.

Eight years Of consecutive success in
Che principal theatres of the United
States, supplemented by an equal amount
of popular favor In Great Britain. Ans
tralia, Germany and France, is the
record attained by that masterful melo-
drama, The Span of Life," and no
other play, except those of Shakespeare,
mas ever been so widely played or so
universally popular. Strong heart in
terest, exciting climaxes, thrilling
situations, natural dialogue, genuine
humor, fine stage settings and compet-
ent acting, are the features that have
made this play the best of modern times
1t will be presented at the Grand opera
house tomorrow evening by the strong
est company eyer seen in melodrama
and with an entirely new equipment of
scenery and effects. A great feature of
the production will be the marvellous
Donazettas, the most skillful and daring
acrobats of the country, who will form
themselves into a bridge 80 feet above
the stage, and three people will pass
across their nterlocked bodies
An exchange speaks of "My Friend
From India" as follows: =" MY Friend
From India as produced last night at
the opera house by the frankie Stock
Company, did not suffer humiliation at
its relegation to popular prices. There
was as much fun in the lines as ever
and as much satisfaction expressed at
the portrayal as was evident when the
piece was first introduced through a
more expensive medium. The special
ties were original and entertaining.
Taken as whole the company has set
new standard for popular priced
shows"
This company is announced to appear
here this evening.

Rear Admiral Taylor Is quite right IN
urging that the eacoast defenses should
be well protected against attack by any
European power. There is no i'm
mediate danger, It is true. Of our get
ding into serious trouble with any coun-
try Of Europe. It is not dihicult to
cOnjure up possible conditions that
might cause trouble. but the chance Of
the United States being challenged 10
maintain by force the Monroe doctrine
Is extremely remote and the idea that
Germany contemplates any such thing
may be dismissed as utterly groundless,
Germany is building up a strong navy
as a defensive preparation and for the
protection Of her foreign interests
and her commerce. not with any ag-
gressive intentions. The policy OF
Germany Is one OF peace and the ex-
tension Of her trade and she Is quite as
anxious to maintain friendly relations
with the United States as with any
other nation. That she covets territory
In this hemisphere has been emphat-
ically denied and there is every reason
to believe that the oficial statements to
this effect were entirely sincere.
Still 1t is sound policy to keep our
coast defenses in good condition, as
generally they are at present. For
many years they were almost utterly
neglected and the seabOard cities were
without protection. but cOlncldent with
the movement FOR building up the navy
the strengthening OF the seacoast de-
lenses was begun and a great deal OF
money has been expended In this work

SUMMER LIFE OF AMERpOANs.
Phases Of tAs Vacation HaSi4 aud tn
Eject.
Philadelphia Post


One OF the most interesting features Of
our modern American life Is the develop
ment and growth Of the summer resort. In
places where a few years ago there were
but two or three summer hotels there are
now two or three dozen. For the hundreds
who ten years g left home for a summer
outing there are now Thousands.
Men who owned desolate little bits OF
land, half sand and half water, along the
seacoast. have sold for 5000 what they
purchased for $50. The seaside resorts are
no longer little collections Of cottages, but
have become large cities, With mayors. IRE
departments and police. Mountain resorts
to which. ten years sgo. a few Of the beid-
est locked for hilly tramps. country board
and quiet life. are now the centers Of
groups OF snormOu hotels.
And in all this there are distinctly graft
flying features.
One is that the moderately well-to-do, as
well as the very rich. are p~artakers OF this
summering enjoyment. The summer homes
Of the wealthy and the expensive hotels
have not driven out all OF the farm houses
and boarding houses and hotels where a
moderately filled purse will pay the ex-
penses OF a fortnight's outing. Most Of
the railroads which run into the popular
resort districts furnish lists OF moderate
priced stopping places. Hundreds Of thou
sands OF the fairly wsli-to-do enjoy The
healthful delights Of the country.
Another source OF qualification is that
the general movement toward the country
movement spreading throughout the en-
tire land-shows hat the Americans are
coming to realize that life should not be
entirely devoted to money making; that
harassed nerves mould have a time Of rest;
that We are becoming a wiser as well AZ an
older nation.
And while those Of the cities are flock
ing for recreation 10 the wilderness and
the country. those OF the small towns and
Of the country are more and more hOcking
for q vacation time to the cities. Thus Il is
that the summer habit is influencing and
improving ali sections Of the country and
classes.

LINCOLN, Aug. .. 1s02.-TO the Editor Of
The Bee; Are you not altogether too Sc
we're on your new police commissioner, w
J. Broatch, when you try to make him
responsible for the whole deal by which
our enterprising fellow citizen. William
Dorgan. the involuntary successor Of
Charlie Mosher as lessee Of the ~peniten-
tiary. succeeded In disposing Of what you
call his junk for $4,000 to the state of Ne
braska7
II memory serves me right, there were
two other appraisers besides Broatch. One
Of these was J. N. Gafhn, and the third
mar by the name Of Gale. Broatch and
Gaf1n represented the state and Gale was
chosen by Dorgsn as arbitrator In case
Cafhn and Broatch could not agree on the
price. Broatch and jam seemed to have
no trouble in making the appraisement
without the Intervention Of the third man,
and each OF them received $500 for the serv-
Ice rendered to Dorgan and the state.
You may be correct in saying that the
whole job lot Of Dorgan's belongings, which
Broatch and Gafin appraised at $685. o0, was
worth less than $1,000. but you ought to
have drawn the line at that mule team,
which / am sure was q piece Of salabls
property. J. H. L
The Bee has no disposition to do Mr..
Broatch injustice or to misrepresent any
OF his acts. . II Is doubtless true that
Mr.. Gaffn shares the responsibility with
Mr.. Broatch for ~appraising the property
Of the penitentiary contractor at more
than six times it's value. It's informa-
ton concerning the Dorgan mule team
was derived from a letter to the editor
Of The Bee, written by a responsible
and prominent business mar from west
ern Nebraska (whose name for obvious
reasons it Is deemed proper to with
hold. from which we make the follow
ing extract:
While visiting The penitentiary today /
was shown BY the warden a wagon that
was appraised at $40 by your friend Broatch.
This wagon, II put up at auction on the
streets Of Omaha. would bring about Is
cents. l also saw a team Of mules, which
was appraised at $3.50, which would be dear
at $50. II you could make arrangements
with the warden Of the penitentiary to ex-
hibit the wagon and team Of mules at
Omaha, with q sign stating thai this outfit
was Appraised by ex-Mayor Broatch for
f2s2. you would create q great sensation.
The letter from which we quote has
been preserved as a souvenir of the
closing chapter Of the famous Stout
Mosher-D organ penitentiary contract 1t
Is only q pity that a man as familiar
with horse flesh and mule flesh as our
noble governor could not have g
those mules on their homestretch before
they turned up their hoofs about six,
weeks after they had been appraised by
Broatch. We feel sure the governor
would at once have appointed Broatch
as state veterinarian and brevet mule

SECULAR SHOTS AT THE PULPIT.

New York Mail and Express; Archbishop
Ireland successfully coinbines his faith In
his church with confidence in his eountry.
Boston Transcript: with municipal music
and sixteen different varieties OF religion
on the common yesterday It must have been
a dull mind indeed that did not not carry
away something.
Brooklyn Eagle: The success Of the
Methodists In respect Of their million
guinea fund in England is frightening other
denominations lest a Ike fund should be
called for by their clergy.
Washington Post: The colored preacher
who predicted a tidal wave for Atlantic
City made the mistake Of using an early
date. 1t didn't give him suficisat time to
take up his collections.
Washington Star: A Delaware clergy
man whistled his text, the theme Of his
discourse being the song OF a meadow lark.
which he had heard during a visit to the
country. This Is. perhaps, as innocent a
form Of pulpit sensationalism as has yet
been devised.
st. Louis Globe-D Democrat: There is a
marked contrast between the situation in
the United States and that in Spain on the
religious associations question. II is a
curious fact that In Catholic countries like
France and Spain the Catholic religions or
ders get worse treatment than is accorded
to them in some Of the Protestant nations,
especially in Germany and England. No
sort Of religious associations find any fault
with their treatment in the United stateA
All are on an equality here. No discrimina-
tion Is made In favor OF or against any
kind of a religious or non-religious order
In the United States. 1t would be impos-
sible to get up any sort Of an issue here
which could bear any resemblance to the
one in France, or to that which Is about
to be renewed In Spain.
Detroit Free Press: There is a novel
movement afoot in Indiana. It is nothing
less than a censorship of the Methodist
pulpit, Initiated and prompted by q pastor
of that denomination. He proposes sermon
inspectors appointed by the church to ex-
anime all sermons before they are delivered,
having the right to cut. slash or reject with
no right Of appeal by the victim. The pur-
pose is to prevent heretical utterances and
to preserve the literal scriptures in their
integrity, even to the story Of Jonah and
the whale, the spectacular ascension Of
Elijah n what the worldly are prone to
designate as the romance Of Adam and Eve.
But the job will be no sinecure. There is
to be a verihcation OF all illusions, scien-
tihc, literary and historical, the correction
Of all that is ungrammatical and even the |
fixing up" OF the spelling. The movement
Is endorsed In some quarters, but the prob |
ability OF it's general endorsement is very
remote. @r.- ss.-t - .ser r1a ,-s1 /
