happened to drop into our store a week or so ago and purchased pound of our new coffee. the ssGolden Blend. She informed us her papa couldn't se- cure any good coffee since he came 10 Waterbury no matter what price he paid; but on account of reading our adv in the newspapers she decided she must try a pound of our 25c "Golden Blend;" she also reminded us she eX- pected it would be cheap trash just like all the other fellows sell ana when she was informed that we really thought we sold the best Coffee and Tea in the city (and we. dol her ex- ciamation was, ''Oh, fudge; you make me tired: the coffee doesn't grow for Phelan,s tea store.'' Well, she was right there; but there are all kinds of Coffee grown and we claim to know enough about our business to know which grade of Coffee is the best. We also know how it should be roasted and when blending we know a trick or two in that line However, we have the pleasure of informing the public that this young lady came back five days later and purchased more ssGolden Blend'' Coffee, also half a pound of our 50c Tea and three pounds of our 25c Butter and as true as the sun shines she admitted our Coffee suited her papa and also tickled her own palate every morning at break fast. Remember, we do not say "Golden Blend'' will suit everyone, but we do say we can suit everyone be- cause we sell all good grades of Cof- fee. We are selling Butter at 25c per pound that will please every one of the 6o,0OO people in our city. If in doubt. give us a trial at

A BRIEF HISTORY
OF the Parker-Bridget & Co.
Establishment.

Barely nine years ago this house
started on its career. The policy
was well laid out and has been
closely followed from the start. 1t
is a policy that is bound around by
best. Our aim has always been
to better everything you've known
in the lines of business with which
we deal. You got good clothing be-
fore we went into business-but
you've got better clothing ever
since.
Our first store, 3f5 Seventh Street,
was large enough for the first five
years of our career. But In 1898 the
opportunity came to US to further a
pet plan that had been born almost
with the business-expansion. We
got the two stores on Ninth and the
Avenue-enlarged stocks, put in more
departments and laid the foundation
for still greater growth. Ii wasn't
long before we took the building
adjoining ours in the rear-and now
in the ninth year of our career we're
adding another Avenue building and
taking in over 1O,G00 more square
feet of floor space. More depart
ments will be added-old depart
ments will be expanded again as soon
as we can rebuild and tear down
the barricades already up and to
come as the work progresses.
We believe you approve of us and
our policy because it's you who have
put our success in our hands-for
no matter how hard We had worked
if We hadn't won your confidence
by right treatment you'd have taken
too little interest in us to help US
as literally as you have done.

BAIL REFUSED TO RATHBONE.
FUTILE EFFORTS OF THE CONVICTED MAN
To SECURE HIS LIBERTY.

Havana March 26.-Estes C. RathbOne the
former Director of Posts. who was arrested last
night after having been sentenced the day pre-
vious by the Audencia Court. TO ten years i'm
prisonment and TO pay fine of S35.324, a
result of his connection with the Cuban postal
frauds. remained in the Vivac prison all night.
At II o'clock this morning he taken to the
carcel GaiD. accompanied by a number Of
friends Rathbones bondsman, Senior Lopez. a
Spanish merchant. went to court this morning
and announced that he was willing to furnish
bonds in any amount. but bail was absolutely
refused.
Counsel for Rathbone have not yet received
official notification of their clients sentence.
They say that his arrest. under the circum-
stances. was irregular. but admit that the court
had the option, under the old Spanish law, to
refuse bail in cases where the sentence is over
six years Imprisonment
Acting Governor Scott says the case is in the
hands of the court. and that he cannot inter
vene in the matter of fixing bail If the court
refuses TO accept bail.
w. II. Reeves was also removed to Jail to-day
on an order of arrest. He was formerly deputy
auditor of the Cuban POstofice Department,
and was sentenced with Rathbone and c. +. W.
Nicely on March n, to ten years imprisonment
and to pay fine Of $35.516 for misappropria-
ton of postal funds. Neither RathbOne nor
Reeves has the option Of ball This Is owing 10
the fact that their sentences are for more than
SIX years duration Although the law, in Ger
tain circumstances permits the acceptance of
bail until the sentence shall be finally executed
the court holds that there are no circumstances
in the present cases To warrant the acceptance
Of bail. Under the Spanish law, the court 10 al
lowed to accept bail when the accused man has
good record. when there is no reason TO sup
pose he Will attempt to escape justice, when the
crime with which he is charged has not pro-
duced alarm and when 1t is not of constant oc-
CurrenCe in the province.
Counsel for Rathbone and Nicely will appeal
the cases Of their clients. They have not yet
received copies OF the sentences. Rathbone's
former bond of $4,000 IS cancelled ny the fact
that he has been put in prison. Reevess bond
amounted to only 81 800.

the Rapid Transit Commission. passed the AS
sembly this morning by a vote OF 30 ayes 10 81
noes The bill was accompanied by an emer-
gency message from the Governor and a letter
from Mayor Low in its behalf.
It was somewhat Of a surprise to the New
York delegation that the bill attacked by
several Republican members from that city. who
did not hesitate TO denounce Mayor Low In their
opposition to the measure. On the roll call 1t
was found that all the Democrats. with the eX-
ception Of Assemblymen Grady, MCInerney and
McKeown, voted against the bin, together with
the following Republicans: J. A. Allen, Bennett
NewcOmb and Finch.
Assemblyman Bennett attacked the bill in a
speech that was finally cut short by the Speaker
on the time limit Mr.. Bennett said in part:
Tammany Hall never conceived of such an out
rageous bill as the one that we have before US
anlah my HOua not f mSVe v W. " The Hoard
Of Aldermen is the proper body to pass on the
Commission, which is responsible TO no one
Assemblyman J. A. Allen denounced Mayor
Low by saying:
This bill has been sent here by lman who is
supposed TO be a reform Mayor lie has, however,
o platform OF home rule. but this measure which
ne has sent is open violation OF the
fundamental principles Of home rule
AssembIyman Newcomb. Of the XXIIId Dis
trict. New-YorK. also attacked the bill on the
ground that the Board of Rapid Transit Com
missioners not the body TO be responsible
for the operation OF a corporate enterprise.

the bill We're Assemblymen Fitzgerald. DUrOss.

Of the arguments Of the opposition. He said
that the mem oership Of the Rapid Transit Com
mission was made up Of men Of high integrity
and that the City's interests could be intrusted
10 their care The Mayor and the Controller
were also members of the commission. He said
that in order that the underground system o.
railways in New-YorlI should be uniform they
should all be under the control and supervision
of one board OF men. Mayor Low favored the
bill, and he told by Corporation Counsel
Rives yesterday that this was the better bill OF

early yesterday morning. Although he had slept
little the night before. General Palma delved right
into the work before him. He pleased
the decision Of this government not to establish a

leves Congress will increase the 20 per cent tariff

hard in the matter"
The Presideut-elect made the positive statement
last night that. although he has considered ap-
pontments for his Cabinet and for other Offices he
will not select any definitely until after ne
reaches Havana. There has been a considerable
influx of Cubans here for the last two or three
weeks. presumably OffiCeseekers. and this an
