NO TRAP SET TO STEP INTO
Night Owls Not at Work to
Catch the Unthinking.


Any man or woman with ordinary
thinking power can readily figure out
what this piece of valuable information
means. 1t is a few points on deceptive
methods frequently used by some people
to deceive an unthinking public, and we
want to make this plain, and it won't
take many words to make it plain.
The reason that the people gave the
great preliminary building-alteratio sale
now going on in Jersey City the prefer
ence sover all others, is because of the
progressive methods that characterizes
the popular house w'iare the sale is in
progress. Every effort is exerted to act
squarely with the public. Their great
sale all this week proved that they did
not keep night owls to work creating
a trap for the unthinking to step into;
that they didn't stay up all night to
mark up goods, and then with scratch
of the pen over the greater figures make
the original price appear as though it
was a reduction. No such wool-pulling
over the eyes of the public is tolerated
by the mana cement of the Excelsior.
But it is really not necessary to state
these facts to old customers of
the house, but we do it because
there are many strangers who deal
elsewhere whom we feel it our duty
to enlighten; but these dealers, seeing
the great enthusiasm the Excelsior cloth
ing sale has stirred up, are fairly tum-
bling over themselves in their efforts to-
try and counteract its influence. But
they might as well try to stop the Hud-
son River from flowing as to stop the
tide of trade flowing into the Excelsior,
as the public know that this house never
seeks to create false impressions.

Mrs. Roosevelt Is Scored az StIngy.,

Dallas, Tex, Feo. 10.-Mrs. Roose.

oourteoualy by society women assem-
bled insthe Elk's Club room at Dallas
today, because of what they regarded
as an evidence Of "stiuginess -
"closeness." and "cheapness."
1t was all because of the quality Of

interest of theIDallas free kindergar.

aion."
AT a mass meeting here TO-DAY there
was much indignation expressed at
the gift, and remarks were made in
regard TO Mrs. Roosevelt's handker.
chief tastes which were anything but
complimentary. The handkerchief
donated by Mrs. Roosevelt is q cotton
affair, machine hemstitched and is
said by ladies' who are oompetentsjud-
ges that it ooaid be duplicated in any
dry goods store in Dallas for the small
sum Of ten cents, or three FOR o quar-.
ter.
The gift wes solicited by Mrs. W.
A.. Galloway, swho conducted the wo-
mems and children's department tof the
Dallas Morning News. Mrs. Galloway
recently wrote Mrs. Roosevelt asking
that che give something that could be
sold, the proceedst to go to tho kinder
garten fund. At the'0same time she
wrote Mrs. Jefferson Davis, and re-
ceived from her a costly handkerchief,
beautifully handiworked by Mrs. Da-
Wis, and contained her monogram ex-
quisitely stitched. Mrs. Davis gift
was enthusiastically and unanimously
accepted at q meeting held on Satur-
day last.
At today's meeting after much spi1-
tied discussion, It was moved and eec-
onded that "the piece Of cotton"
should be returned to Mrs. Roosevelt
after it had been exhib;tedeat so much
per look at.the reception.
Mrs. Henry Coke was one Of the few
women present who appealed to the
women to be conservative!in their ac-
tions, requesting that the matter be
dropped. The motion was passed,
however, and unless the women vote
to reconsider their action the handker-
chief will be sent back to Washington

STORM OF INDIGNATION.
Venezuelans See Germans Manning
One of Their Vessels.

La Guayra. Jan. 24.-The former
Venezuelan gunboat Restaurador. now
in the possession of the Germans, ar
rived here at o'clock p. m. from
Puerto Cabello and anchored near the
shore. Her presence caused great pop.
ular Indignation. At 3 O'Clock several
rifle shots were heard in the distance.
Shortly afterwards the Restaurador
left her anchorage and moved to po-
sition outside the harbor and under the
protection of the guns of the BRUSH
cruiser Tribune.
The Restaurador had been manned
and equipped by the Germans since her
CAPTURE. Her anchorage close in shore
was taken by the populace, in view OF
the Maracaibo occurrences, as dlrect
proyocation to retaliation. 1t is not
known where the rife shots were hred.
but it is believed that the precaution
of the Restaurador in moving from the
shore was timely. as the hungry, un-
employed populace of La Guayra, ex-
cited by recent events and driven to
desperation by their condition, had ap-
piled to the local authorities for arms
and purposed making night attack
on the gunboat Excitement against
the Germans is running high here.
