Credit Argument.

Our strong position in the credit on -------- is matter attained by una daunted persistence in mafters Of quality and littleness of price, backed Dy the most liberal and generous cred- It proposition ever offered to the ptlb- lie by the Guarantee Credit Clothing Go.
 Anybody can buy for cashI That's easy" There's no special honor in the fact that one can walk into a store. lay down in cold cash the full price asked for an article and so become the possessor. Come to think of it it's the coldest sort of proposition, a. mere transaction. To have credit given you is entirely different. Makes you feel as though you were entitled to 1t. What great honor 1t Is to be able to enter as store. select such goods as you want and arrange to pay for them in amounts and at times that are convenient to you. What great dignity there is to credit, and how far reaching its beneficial effects
 A large per cenG of the worlds business owes it's existence to this great comodity. To buy Tor cash. then, is very ordinary But to buy on credit is always distinction that one should be proud of.

FATHER SHANLEY'S TALK He Urges Roman Catholics to Stand TOgether.

Hartford. Feb 22.-Rev Walter J. Shanley, rector Of St Joseph's cathe dral and chaplain of Green Gross council, was the principal speake last evening at the annual memorial service of the Knights of Columbus, which was held in Columbian hall. He was presented by J. F. Callahan, district deputy, who presided, aas splr- ttual adviser, lecturer and writer.
 Father Shanlev said that the anni- versary service reached the soul, a higher motive even than that of be nevolence. Generally nowadays, all kinds of Christians acknowledge the offering of tribute to the dead It teaches us among other things the value of living we'll
 One class of men Is governed by self-interest, the getting of wealth, for the pleasure it will obtain. An other class of men is governed by high moral aims, self sacrifice, etc. But even a pagan might belong to that class. There is 8 third class which recognized submission to the divine will They are religious men, in whom self lf-renunciatdon and self denial are characteristic. Roman Catholics should follow the King, and the Knights Of Columbus are doubly bound together by the ties of the or der and the ties of the church. They should stand together fin the bonds of the church, charity and brotherly love They ought to possess the spirit of forbearance. a1 {.
 All Roman Catholics should stand together and ought to help one an- other in business life. There are 13, GOO, 900 to 15,OOO,OoO in the country, and if they stand together there can be no greater power in the nation, The time is coming and Is not far distant when Roman Catholic lay men will take 8 much greater interest in things which affect Roman Cath olfcism.
 Tn Protestant Germany, the Roman Catholics have formed central party which holds the balance, of power In the reichstag and in Ho- land they have formed a party which has resulted in three Roman Catho- lies being put in the cabinet of the Netherlands Pope Plus X was very favorable ito organizations of Roman Catholics Laymen united for the church would become great power for the church militant. Irish Americans in this country are the embodiment of talent and they are recognized as talented men.
 Father Shanley said that other creeds were coming over to Roman Catholicism Recently while he was in New York, seventy two Protestants were received into a Paulist church at one time Discussing the treat ment of the Indian in the early his tory of this country. Father Shanley said that the Roman Catholic nis- sfonarfes performed a work of salva- tion, the Purftans work of exter- imitation.

IDENTIFICATION BILLS.
Government to Start Plants of its
 Own for Making Cannon.
Especial to Democrat.1 )

Washington, Feb 22.-In studying closely the fortihcation appropriation bill, which has just passed the house, there are several changes brought to Night from the one passed last year. These changes would indicate that the government intends to establish plants for the manufacture of cannon, instead of getting them by contract from various manufacturers. The bill of this year contains several items for the purchase of machinery to make various kinds of cannon, while last year the bill provided only for the purchase of these guns by contract or otherwise. This is espe- cfally true with regard to the ma- chine guns, all of which were pur- chased in the open market last year, and many Of which came from Con- nectdcut. The new bill would seri- ously affect the gun factories of Con- necbicut. especially Colts of Hartford. This firm usually does a great deal of work for the government, but if hereafter the work is to be done at the arsenals, it would seriously inter- fere with government work in Hart ford
 The naval appropriation bill also contains an item of $2O00.000 to in crease the capacity Of the naval gun factories. This is. in line with the appropriation in the fortifacion biH It has the endorsement of the Inter national Association of Machinists, and the members of the Connecticut delegation have in the last few days received numerous petitions from the lodges of this association, endorsing this provision of the bill.
 Tbe hill to prohibit the giving of prizes with tobacco, cigars and cigar ettes has broken out again. This is the same bill that passed the house last year, and is opposed by the cigar makers in some sections of the counr try, while favored by others. The labor unions are all in favor of the bill, and the Cigar Makers union have petitioned congress to pass the bill. sas@

WAR ON CONSUMpTION.r., 7,
Labor Appoints Committee After Lee
 ture by E. T. Deyine.

New York, Feb. 22.-Edward T. De- vine, secretary of the Charity Or ganization Society, appeared before the leaders of the labor movement at the meeting of the Central Federated Union yesterday and appealed for la- bor's co-operoation for the prevention of tuberculosis. MT Devine gave facts and figures showing the spread of the disease in the tenement districts which caused sensation amoung the delegates,
 MT Devine declared that ten per cent. of. the deaths in the United States were due to pulmonary tuber- culosis.
 Right here in New York; he said, ''ten per cent. of the deaths of wom- en, and thirteen per cent. of the deaths of men occur from this dreaded disease. Yet the doctors say it can be stamped out if people will observe proper conditions. In every group of 1000 tuberculosis claims five victims"
 MT Devine classified the trades in their order of their tendency to con- tract tuberculosis as follows:
 Marble and stone cutters, cogar- makers, competitors, pressmen, hat ana cup "akeTs, DoOkKeeperS, caDlnet- makers, musicians, glass blowers and barbers. The lowest death rom con sumption was among bankers, brokers and officials of corporations.
 MT Devine advocated as preventive measures absolute cleanliness, san itary conditions and the isolation of patients. He said that there were not enough hospitals.
 In conclusion Mir Devine urged upon the delegates to educate the people as to the best means of stopping the spread of the disease.
 A committee of labor leaders was appointed to cooperate with the Char ity Organization Society to prevent tu- bercuIosig.

Thaw's Big Income in Jeopardy.

A report comes from Pittsburg that I'M
less Harry Thaw' can prove to his mother
and other relatives there that he has not
married Evelyn Nesbitt and will give a
solemn promise that he will be good and
will not cross the Atlantic again for a GER
tain number of years, he will be cut down
from $4,000 annual income to $500. This
ultimatum has been agreed upon by the
Thaws In family council at Pittsburg and
Harry has been summoned to come home
at once to declare himself. He will not be
condemned unheard.
The discovery of the fact that his mother
brothers and sisters can at will cut him
of from his big income just as easily as
they voted it to him when his father had
cut him off in his will to 81 500 per year
was a surprise to the reported husband of
the former New York chorus girl For
some years Mrs. Thaw has tried to per-
suade her youngest son to reside .on this
side of the Atlantic, but all calls to him to
come home have been ignored. One was
sent early last week, however, that found
him more tractable, and he cabled that he
would leave for home by the next boat.

SMALLEST TRUST OF ALL.
Watch Signs Used by jewelers. Are
Made by One Ohioan.

From the Columbus Journal
Springfield Is the home of the smallest
trust. 1t Is largely a one-man affair, and
the employees number three, yet this octo-
pus supplies the world with the single prod
uct of its shop.
Every big watch sign that swings above
the shops of watchmakers and jewellers the
country over is made in Springfield, unless
1t was manufactured back in the days be-
fore Lon Barnhart ran all his competitors
out Of business.
Barnhart. sign painter by trade, with a
little shop high up in a Springfield build
Ing. turns out all the signs that are used
in America-all that are more than four
feet in height. There may be jewellers who
have commissioned mechanics to make in
dividual signs for them, but Barnhart has
not competitor in the United States, Cam
ada or Mexico. There is not a week that
he does not receive inquiries from foreign
countries, but all foreign orders he de-
clines, the duty and cost of Transportation
Of the bulky signs making it Improbable
to send them so far. His staple style is a
watch six feet and a half from base to top
of the ring. 1t is made of sheet zinc and
weighs seventy-five pounds. There is one
larger size. eight feet high. These mon
ster watches he keeps in stock, though the
calls for them are few Mr.. Barnhart has
been In the business eighteen years. Eight
years he spent In Chicago, the remainder
of the time in Springfield. With two ex-
ceptions every sign in Springfield has been
made by him. and those two are small ones,
made of iron: Eighty per cent of his prod
uct are Illuminated signs. A few obseryant
people have had their attention called to
the fact that nearly every watch in the
country has its hands painted to indicate
$40 o'clock. One of the most common ex-
plantations is that maker of signs who
was painting dial when Abraham Lincoln
was shot marked the hour with his brush
and ever since that time makers of signs
have followed the precedent.
Il have heard the story said Mr.. Barn
hart, but there is nothing to it. A good
many signs were painted with the hands in
that position before Lincoln ever became
President. The fact OF the matter is that
this position is the only one In which the
hands balance properly. and at the same
time give an arrangement on the dial to
allow the proper display of the watch
makers name. 1t would not look just right
to have the hands point straight away from
each other as they would at seventeen
minutes after 9, and no other arrangement
gives room for the lettering.

HORSESHOE supERsr1T1oNs.
Chinese Nail Them Up Over Doors at
Charms Against Evil Spirits.


The origin of belief in horseshoe luck is
SO ancient that it never has been deter
mined with certainty and no superstition is
more universal. Ever since horses began
to wear shoes those crescents Of iron have
been accounted lucky emblems Of all peo-
pies, races and nations that have been
acquainted with their use.
The Chinese, for instance, say they nail
them up over their doors as charm
against evil spirits because of the close
resemblance in shape between them and
the arched body of the sacred snake, Ma
gaLdra. one of their principal deities.
Ask Turkish Mahommedan for informa-
ton on the subject and he will tell you
that IT is because they are in form like u
crescent, the sacred emblem of Islam.
A Polish Jew will explain that at the
passover the blood sprinkled upon the Intel
and doorposts, in the manner directed by
their ritual. forms the chief points of an
arch; hence, obviously, the value of arch
shaped talismans such as horseshoes are.
The stolid and unima ginative Russian
peasant, on the other hand maintains that
the luck associated with the horseshoe is
due chiefly to the metal, irrespective of its
shape, iron being additionally a charm
wherewith to nullify the malevolent designs
of evf: spirits and COLLINS.
Very different is the story by which the
Irishman seeks to account tor his liking
'1lonclad' or Ireland" he will tell you,
originated as follows:
The whole island was once submerged in
the sea, out of which it only rose once
in seven years, and then only for a short
time. Many attempts had been made to
break the spell and induce the country
to remain permanently above the waters,
but ali were vain until one day daring
adventurer threw horseshoe from boat
on the topmost peak of Wicklow mountains
Just as they were disappearing beneath the
waves. Then, at last, was the ban re-
moved. The emerald isle began forth
with to rise again from the ocean depths
into which it had sunk. And 1t has bee,:
dry lanc-more or less-ever since.
In England, up to comparatively recent
times, horSeshOeS were extensively used al
most everywhere as anti-witch charms and
the custom is not even yet an extinct one.
No witch, 1t used to be said. could enter a
building over the door of which horse
shoe-or, better still, three horseshoes-
been affixed, prongs downward.
The origin Of this particular belief is
referable to the old legend of st. Dunstaft
This versatile English ecclesiastic was a
skilled farrier and one day while at work
in his forge the evil one entered in d.s-
guise and requested Dunstan to shoe his
single hoof." The saint, although he ut
once recognized his malign customer, ac-
ceded but caused him SO much pain dur
ing the operation that Satan begged him
to deSist. This Dunstan did, but only after
he had made the evil one promise that
neither he or any of the lesser spirits. his
servants, would ever modest the inmates
of house where a horseshoe was dis
played.
