SPRING TOP COATS

Gentle spring with its ETHEREAL
mildness" is here, and although it has
arrived quite early this season it is
most heartily welcomed by all. Life
in the vegetable world is rapidly chang
the carpet of green" and the peeping
buds and blossoms evidence the usher
ing in of the most enchanting period Of
the year when life asserts itself in the
glorious transformation scene.
And while the vegetable world springs
into visible life and beauty there should
be according to the eternal fitness Of
things" a corresponding desire on the
part of human beings to also ''arise and
shine by decking themselves with ap-
parel which is in harmony with the
gladstone season.
And the opportunity is yours, my
friend, and a glance to-day at the big
display at the Hirsh stores will rivet
your attention and if you are at all ap-
preciative of "a good thing when you
see it, you will discover Immediately
that it is your chance. To-day and
Monday are eventful days at the Hirsh
stores. There are hundreds of eXcep-
tlonally high-grade top coats of fault
less quality and workmanship and made
to sell for many dollars more than the
price at which you can get them. This
great sale is simply another instance of
the interchangeable and wonderfully lib
eraI methods in vogue at the Hirsh
stores. Ever alert and sagacious and
with a Napoleonic genius which is
overwhelmingly successful in every eff
fort made by them, the Hirsh brothers
have not only made themselves famous
in their line of trade. but have also rev.
olutionized the clothing business in this
part of the good old Nutmeg state.

this is a time for business: will you
take this box Of correspondence and try
to get it into some shape and order?''
That duty afforded him good insight
into public life. There were letters
from men who gave modest descriptions
Of themselves, some with a self
efacement which did them honor;
others with overweening pretensions
which reminded him of the Eastern say
ing. They came TO shoe the pasha's
horses. and the beetle stretched out his
foot A day or two later Mr.. Glad
stone spoke to him of the relations which
ought to subsist between a minister and
his secretary-They ought to be those
which exist in a happy household be-
tween a man and his wife-there should
be nothing kept back, and I shall give
you ever possible confidence in every
single thing that I do" Mr.. Gladstone
put into his hand a plan for the dis
establishment of the Protestant church
in ireland, which was so complete that
there was very little difference between
it and the act as passed. Before maxi
ing his speech on introducing that BILL
Mr.. Gladstone was sitting at $3.50 in his
private room with calm mind, reading
Shakespeare; he said that his speech
would last three hours, and it lasted
three hours and ten minutes. So ac-
curate was he in everything. Sir AIger-
non early saw that in all he did there
was a deep sense of religion it was to
him as the Nile to Egypt, or as the sun
shine to the world.

was intolerant to those who differed
from him, Sir Algernon said that it
was true to this extent: When a mat
ter was being discussed he was most
modest, gentle and inquiring. He once
wrote to him: Il want to know every
detail about malt and beer, from the
time when the barley is sown to the
time that the finished product is in the
cask." But when his mind had been
made up he did not like people to make
objections at the last moment He fol-
lowed the advice given by Bacon: "A
statesman should always doubt to the
last. and then act as if he had never
doubted
OF Mr.. Gladstones extraordinary I'M
selfishness, Sir Algernon gave this in
stance: After the operation for cata-
ract, and the confinement for some
days in the dark, it was feared that the
operation had not been successful. His
first words on the matter were: "How
sorry 1 am for DR.. Netteship.'' In 1892,
on going to the old familiar door in
Downing street, Mr.. Gladstone said,
How unnatural it is at my time of life
to undertake task like his!" Andlater
he said. MY great wish now is to be
out of the strife. Mine ought to be one
of the faces set toward Zion. This is
only preparatory school,"
Sir Algernon concluded: when shall
we see another like him? Not in my
day, l am afraid. I pray God that you
may in yours. London Daily News.

Sir Algernon, whose early mention of
Mr.. Gladstone evoked cheers, said he
was glad to find that they had not for
gotten that statesman's name. He
went on to give two or three stories.
Mr.. Gladstone hated smoking. and one
day he said to Sir Algernon. You

he had been sitting half an hour in the
room of Sir w. Harcourt "a great

The northwest has been visited by
some copious showers that have placed
a brighter aspect on the crop outlook
in very many places. The Red River
valley has had some rains but not
enough to place many sections on the
safe side, but Neptune seems to have
returned to his old aominions and*we
may expect sufficient moisture nowsto
help out the crops. In the vicinity of
Princeton the outlook is much brighter
than it was a week ago. The rains
that we have had are worth millions of
dollars to this section. This is no
dream, either. A partial failure of the
potato crop in this section tributary to
Princeton alone might mean the loss of
half a million or more. The. farmers
fields after all are the tangible assets of
the country.

y MOB of several thousand people in
the city Of Wilmington. Del, turned
out last week and took from the iail a
colored man who had outraged and
murdered white girl in that city, and
the incensed citizens took the misera-
bic brute shivering with fright and
fear and burned him to death. The
press accounts of the affair were most
shocking and revolving, and the affair
is one of the worst that has disgraced a
civilized community for a long time
The brute deserved immediate death,
but when men and respectable citizens
become imbued with the idea that the
more revolving, brutal and hellish they
can make the punishment for such a
crime, they disgrace themselves and
the community in which they live,
Such punishment can never erase the
british and bestial instincts in others.
though a thousand men be cruelty
burned. A well-ordered hanging would
have answered the purpose sufficiently.
No atonement can be made for such a
crime, neither can anything be done to
lessen: the grief caused by such a dia-
bolical affair, and if the people feel that
the law must. be set aside for the time
being the proper thing. to do is to pro-
vide'immediate extinction in as orderly
manner t.E Is possible. *s.,. q, ,,>, 49,.

CONGRESSMAN STEVENS is about
right when he says that the postal ma

date and cumbersome, and that there
should be an overhauling and reorgan-

the business of the department is done
at too long: range and there is too much
red tape. It needs to be placed on a
modern business system and then there
