A Famous Painting.

Beginning Tuesday afternoon an,
continuing for the balance of the weel
we Will show in our store one of tn,
most pleasing, as we'll as the mos
wonderful. paintings of modern art
TIE famous painting ''Zamba" il a
miraculous illusion, adequate descrip.
tlon OF which Is absolutely impossible
Two women are painted on the same
canvass. One at first sight sees a por-
geously robed Parisienne gowned for
the opera. Before your very ewes her
wraps are waited from her as the wind
might carry away the msts, and an
other, a different woman, in filmv neg.
leRee, stands in her place.
We have secured this mvsterv in
modern art through the courtesy of
Welngarten Bros, makers of the fam
Gus W. b. GCorsetS. Thousands have
seen this marvel throughout the coun-
Try ana IL was rare good fortune
GhaG enabled us to secure it for a week
in Greenville.
But to return to the picture, At first
glance one beholds no evidence of the
extraordinary about it, YET at regular
intervals the picture fades. The oor.
geous evening robe 81 ps over the wo-
mans ivory shoulders and disappears
from the canvass as a cloud of mist
might drift into the ar. TIE marvel
grows-the rObed queen of the opera
has been magically transported before
1oar very eyes into her home. Her
wraps have disappeared. They have
yiven place to lingeriel Her hair has
changed from brown gold to cleaning
'ol1. The white roses that nestled i5
ler tresses have become a bnrning
ed jacqueminot. The spidery laces of ,
Ter mulls and cambrics are infinitely
vident. 1t is another picture up0n

PICKERING REPUBLICANS.
Everywhere Pulling Hair and Leaders
Busy Knitting Each
Other.

Harmony is not gaining ground
amongst the republican brethren, in
fact the schisms are growing in inten-
sity, and dissensions are cropping out
daily. La Toilette and the StalwartS
have gone beyond any hope of concilia-
ton and the republican party of Wis
consin appears to be hopelessly divided.
In Illinois many of the republican lead
ers are trying to cut the political threats
of each other and the result of the cleo
ton is by no means certain. In Della
ware the AddickS and anti-Addicks fac
tons are no nearer together than when
the feud started. In West Virginia the
republican party is divided on state
issues and Senator Scott is afraid to
enter the state, while Senator Elkins
Is not borrowing much trouble about
the result, mol will it change the usual
jollity of his countenance if President
Roosevelt loses the state.
In New York, prominent republicans
are opposing their candidate for gov
ernor, and as such a good republican
authority as the Sun says he will be de-
feated. cit must be So" That the dem
ocrats will carry the state is admitted
by close observers, the only question
being the size of the majority. The
Tammany leader puts 1t at 10000.
Even the vice-presidential republican
candidate has warmed up sufficiently to
pout at Senator Dolliver, who received
more applause at the meetings they
Jointly addressed than the iceberg cid.
They have parted company and hardly
nod when they meet. In Massachusetts,,
reciprocity is splitting the republican
party wide open and the democrats are
making a bold and determined fight to
carry the state. Senator Lodge is like
ly to be defeated for reelection and in
retaliation he Is trying to blast the
prospects of some of the republican can
didates for congress and the legislation
In Indiana there is an under current
of trouble between the republican fac"
tions which only the fear of losing the
loaves and fishes keeps from coming to
the surface. The republican workers
of Indiana live on the money the party
wrings from the trusts and corporations
and the larger the amount furnished
the greater the harmony. That is what
keeps Chairman Cortelyou and Senator
Aldrich so busy obtaining trust con-
tributions.
