R. H. MAcY'S CATALOGUE.
How Strikes and Delays lnterfered With Publication Designed to Pic lure the Great Establishment.

New York, October 31.-There has been considerable talk in certain circles anent the publication of catalogue of R. H. Macy & Co. When the firm moved from it's old stand on Fourteenth street to it's great building on Herald Square, it an nounced its intention to open a mail or der department, this method of doing business having been a speciality in cer- tain western cities. When Macy x Co. determined to make bid for the mail order business it set out to present to buyers throughout the country an ade- quate idea of the vastness of the new es- tablishment and the great variety of it's wares through the medium of a cata- logue Artists, photographers and en- gravers were employed. They went to work at the task of Illustrating the goods In an establishment. the floor space of which is equal to twenty-foW acres of ground or over ten city blocks Then troubles began. It was not an easy thing to picture the miles of counters over which 1t is estimated goods are sold daily that require the labor of over 5000 persons and which 1t would take person one hour to pass walking quite briskly. De- lay followed delay, occasoned by strikes and mishaps; and the date fixed for issu- ance of the catalogue came and went.
 When Macy X Co. discovered that 1t would be impossible to issue the cata- logue on the contemplated lines on time it changed it's plans and now, instead of issuing a costly publication at fifty cents per copy, 1t has put out free to all ap- plicants living outside radius of twenty-five miles one of the best cata- logues ever issued.
 By the art of artist photogra pher, etcher and engraver. this greatest of New York's department stores presents to the view of the reader of the catalogue a picture of the mammoth establishment which Is even more perfect and complete than the impression gained by walking through 1t would be. Evidently the aim of it's projectors Is to paraphrase an old saying. if the buyer cannot come to the store. the store can go to the buyer. If certainly accompishes this Tine cata- logue used in connection with the mail order department affords to the resident of cities and towns distant from Herald Square facilities to make purchases fully equal to those offered to the customer at the counter.
 Working in connection with the mail order business. the firm has establish a department of deposits. The idea is original with this firm, and curiously enough. for some reason or other, has never been taken up by the western houses. Money can be deposited with R. H. Macy & Go. and while on deposit bal ances draw interest at 4 per cent. Goods purchased can be charged to the account and purchasers receive the benefit of the low figures which only prevail where goods are bought and sold on a cash basis. JOHN MARTHOL.

Madame Patti.

On last Monday night, Madame Patti made her first appearance outside of New York. This was at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia, and thus far it afforded much the largest house of the season.
 From o'clock in the afternoon there began to grow a line of people from the Academy door, running round into the side streets and three abreast. It was reckoned that before 6 o'clock this line amounted to about two thousand people; at any rate, it took forty policemen to keep them in order.
 The receipts of the concert were within a few dollars of fifteen thousand. With out a question. this is the largest sum ever taken for a concert performance. Madame Patti sang superbly. Her se- lections did not differ materially from those of New York, but 1t was remarked that in the old Philadelphia Academy her voice sounded much more sonorous than at Carnegie Hall.

AN UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE.

Has 1t ever been your unhappy lot to be told by your physician that you must go to hospital and submit to an operation If so. you remember with what dread and shrinking you waited the day when you must endure the knife.
 The present day surgeon appears to be possessed by a mania for operatinE.-espe cially in cases of hemorrhoids or piles, and while the greater number of the4profession do not recommend this Hast resort" un- less they honestly believe it necessary, the fact remains that much needless operating is done, and the patient put to much ex- pense and suffering for what?
 To obtain a possible temporary relief; these words are used advisedly. because in and the patient is just where he started from. Oftentimes he could be cured much more simply and easily by the use of such a remedy as the Pyramid Pile Cure i; this has come to be recognized as the best remedy on the market for the pain. full disease named, and the druggists now sell more of it than all other pile remedies combined
 The writer personally knows people who were afflicted with the worst form of bleeding and protruding piles and who were permanently cured by the use of Pyramid Pile Cure. In every one of these cases the attending physician had assured the sufferer that only by an operation could he rid himself of the disease; so much for the infallibiity of the doctors.
 This remedy, which Is sold by all drug gists at the low price of fifty cents. Is in suppository form, is applied directly to the parts affected. and performs its work quietly and painessly. The Pyramid Drug Co.,, Marshall Mich, will mail free to any address book telling all about piles or hemorrhoids, their cause and cure.
 A suggestion Is offered that if the reader Is afflicted, or knows anyone who is. this book be sent for, as it will, be found inval- uable.
