A correspondent at Irvington,

pointed facts about mail order
houses and how to lessen theii
trade. and how some mes chants
may hold their customers. Here
IS what he says.
"If our home merchants would
advertise their goods properly the
large supply houses would find
their trade falling of in the coun
try districts. The big department
stores advertise and give prices on
every article. while the home mer-
chant il he advertises At all, sci
dom quotes prices. We like to
read il our home papers the prices
for which we can buy goods from
our home dealer, together with =
description Of the goods 50 that
we may know what we can pur.
chase from our home stores. The
home merchant, nine times in ten,
sells his goods IS cheap as the
same grade Of goods are sold by
any Of the big supply houses. but
their customers don't know il. A
mercant must not think that even
his best customars are so familiar
with his goods and prices that he
knows all about it without bein 9
informed. We can buy as cheap
At home as anywhere. and il
is the merchants duty to educate
his customers to that belief.
Primers ink is the great business
educator. An average Of about
$500 per month is sent away from
lrvington to mail order houses in
distant cities for supplies, the
greater part OF which could be
bought at home as cheap"

A PLOT TO KILL 800.
Armenian Leader IN New York Says Sagouni
Fomented Trouble.

New York (SpeciaD.-The assassin
alton Of Sagouni in London has I'M
masked a plot to massacre 800 COM
patriots in this city. In the Armenian
colony the scheme OF determination is
the sole topic OF conversation. Not in
years have the New York Armenians
been so excited.
Sarkis Havsopian. of this city, a
member Of the new Huntchagist Soci-
city OF Revoiutionists, against which an
other section has declared a feud, re-
vcaled the existence OF the assassina-
ton plot. He said:
The fight is between the members OF
the old Huntchagist Society, which mis-
appropriated some $4,000 OF funds
raised by Arnenians in the United
States for assistance in freeing Armenia
from Turkey. and the new society,
which detected the rrcgularity of the
first society.
Only few days ago the members
OF the new society i'll New York city,
of which there are some 800. received
warming that their lives were i'll peril.
Former members OF the original Hunt
chagist Society have declared that we
shall pay the penalty witt, our lives"
Some Armenians looked on the as
sassination OF Sigouni with compla-
ccncy. One recognized as leader
said:
"Sagouni was undoubtedly killed b.
an Armenian. probably from the Unit
ed States. He. is known to be TO-
inentcr OF trouble and Russian en-
issary. He has pretended to work for
the Arnlenians, while i'll reality he has
been IN the employ OF the Russian
Car.
Il and my couiltry.nen here believe
that much OF The slaughter of Armen-
ians is due directly to Sagouni and sew
eral Others like him. Two OF these have
lately been killed, and now Sagouni has
suffered 4 similar fate.
while We feel the means are ex
IRENE, yet it seems to us that under the
circumstances they are justified

PEACE DECLARED?
Western Union and Pennsylvania Said to be
on Good Terms.
JOHN HAY.
Secretary Of State.

Washington, D. c. (SpcciaD 1t was
learned from high authority that the dis
agreements that have existed between
the Pennsylvania Railroad and George
J. Gould from the time that the West
ern Union telegraph poles were cut dow,
along the lines OF the railroad are set
tied, and that cordial relations now cX
list between these two important tinan
cial interests.
During the past week there has been
increased activity in all the Gould stocks,
led by Missouri Pacific and the Wa
baslles. and there has been large buying
of Pennsylvania as we'll.
1t is believed that basis of settlement
is the sharing Of business in the Pitts
burg district between the Pennsylvania
and the Goulds, who, with the Wabash
extension into that section, now prac-
tically control all the rich tonnage that
has its origin there.

Fav0rs Niclausse Boiler.

At meeting OF the Naval Board on
Construction it was decided that it will
not be necessary to change the con-
tracts for the seven ships being built
with the Niclaussc type of boilers in
stalled, so as to provide them with a
different boiler.
This action, it is understood, was
taken largely as result of the recent
trial OF. the battlcship Maine, which is
equipped with Niclausse boilers and
which made such satisfactory run
from Hampton Roads to Culebra and
return.
The boiler question is now one of the
most important before the department.
1t has been held by some naval engi-
necrs. prominent among whom is Rear
Admiral George W. Melville, formerly
Chief Engineer OF the Navy, that the
Niclaussc boiler is not adapted to the
needs OF the Navy. Besides the Maine.
seven of the large ships under construc-
ton are to be provided with the Mic
lausse boiler Before retiring Admiral
Melville recommended that these new
ships be given another type of boiler.
The action taken by the Board OF Con-
struction settles the question in favor
OF the Niclaussc type

it rests with us ourselves to show that VIC
are worthy to use Alright what has thus
been entrusted to our care. In no other
place, and at no other time, has the eX-
pertinent of government of the people.

on so vast a scale as here in OUR own
country in the opening years of the TWEEN
tieth century. Failure would not only
be dreadful thing for us, but dread
full thing for all mankind, because it
would mean the loss of hope for all who
believe in the power and the righteous
ness of liberty Therefore, i'll thanking
God for the mercies extended to us i'll
the past. we beseech him that he may
not withhold them in the future. and
that Our hearts may be reused to war
.steadfastly for good and against all the
forces of evil. public and private. We
pray for strength and light, so that Ill
the coming years we may with clcanli-
ness, fearlessness and wisdom do Our al
lotted work OH the earth i'll such man
ner as to show that we are not altogether
unworthy of the blessings we have re-
ccivcd.
Now. therefore. I, Theodore Roosc-
welt. president Of the United States, do
hereby designate as a day OF general
thanksgiving Thursday. the Goth OF the
coming November. and do recommend
that throughout the land people cease
from their wonted occupations, and iii
their several homes and places of wor-
ship render thanks unto Almighty God
for his manifold mercies.
In witness whereof, l have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal OF the
United States to be affixed.
