Letter to TIL. Stanton.
Goldsboro, n. G.

Dear Sir: The usual way to buy
paint is to take the lowest price by
the gallon. Mistake: the buyer loses
by it; how much? Depends on the
paint; it is so much a gallon, or so
much a year. How much a gallon,
or year, do you think? AS much,
perhaps, as the total price ofthe paint.
It may taketWice the number of gall
Ions. n Avery, Delhi, n. Y, owns
two houses, both exactly alike. He
painted one with Devoe and one with
another paint. Devoe 6 gallons; the
other y.
Go by the names: Devoe. There's
nothing cheaper. Go by the price;
there's nothing dearer, except not
painting at all. Poor paint is better
than none.
Wha6 does it cost not to paint at
all? Can't figure it out exactly; say a
tenth of the building a year, besides
look.
What is poor paint worth, then?
Don't know and don't care; you don't
want it. Go by the name.
Yours truly,
F. w. DEVOE & Co.

SMART ETON SUIT AND COAT FOR TINY TOT
The Bonnet Is Novel and

With Clusters of
Purple Grapes.

1t is not probable that the Elton coat
suit will ever go entirely out OF style
1t certainly leads In favor at present
This is, perhaps, because the Elton
coat allows for so much trimming. Ger
tainly the Russian laces, fancy collars
and revers. which so effectively com
bine with the Etons, add greatly to the
general tone of a cloth suit
This very smart Elton suit is shown in
dark blue cheviot. 1t has the Japanese
shoulder with full sleeve and open cur
finished with frills of Rleated French
hatiste and lace. The vest and collar
are Of white broadcloth. with tiny black
buttons and braid for trimming.
The full-gored skirt is formed Of pIeats
set in at the waistband and falling into
loose. graceful folds at the bottom
II is finished with two rows OF black
braid
This suit is very serviceable as well
as smart. CheviOt is a material that

...FENCINlO...

Athletics for women. from the stand
point of several high authorities. have
been discussed previously, but there is
one form of exercise that is conceded by
many wise ones to give grace 70 he
carriage, alertness TO the eye. Quickness
to the mind, and exercise to all the mus
Giles of the body. and this exercise is
fencing. 1t is an old art, having beer
practiced since the wearing of armor

not practiced much I'm England until the
reign Of Elizabeth. when he who wore

Be that as IL may. fencing certainly
gives salutary recreation. and tends to

the temper
BY high authorities it is considered
that no other single exercise combines
so many advantages as fencing The
play OF the muscles all over the body
makes the blood circulate freely. the
chest is expanded, and Roland in his
Theory and Practice OF Fencing states
that more than one case came under
his observation. where affections of the
lungs and tendency to consumption
have been entirely removed by practice
with the foil.
Sword Combats Scarce.
While duels are no longer the rule in
the majority Of countries and when they
are bought In France or Germany pis-
tolls for two and coffee for one are the
rule rather than foils, yet fencing has
come into favor In the last few years
among society people who aim at the
acquisition or grace of movement, those
who eschew the kangaroo walk" and

CONTINUES TO IMPROVE
SITUATION IN THE BUSINESS
WORLD rs SATISFACTORY.
No Evidence of Anxiety in Regard
to the Future-General Re
view of Trade.

New York, Nov. 5.-R. G. Dun & Co.
Weekly Review of Trade says: "Busi-
ness improves steadily, and there is no
evidence of anxiety regarding the future.
Payments are more promptly met, tend
ing to stimulate preparations for COM
ing trade and the disposition to limit
purchases to immediate needs is grad
ually disappearing. Conservatism dur
ing the summer and autumn had a bene-
fetal effect, reducing stocks to a low
point. AS demand broadens, this
scarcity of supply produces pressure for
quick delivery, and prices are strength
ened. Aside from imitation caused by
speculation, there is no better sign Of
commercial progress than advancing
Commodity markets. All the leading
I branches of manufacture are in a bet
ter position, with noteworthy activity at
iron furnaces, wooden mills and foot
wear factories.
Commercial failures this week in the
United States are 229, against 233 last
week, 215 the preceding week and 246
the corresponding week last year. Fail
ures in Canada number q, against %
last week, 80 the preceding week and %
last year."
Bradstreets says: Warm weather,
activity in fall farm work and, to a lesser
degree, ante-election interest, have de-
tracted from retail trade distribution
north and west. For like reasons job
bling sales are rather smaller in volume.
Against this, However, is to be cited in
creased activity in a number of indus
tries, headed by iron, steel and allied
lines of manufacture. Resumption of
work by 10, 900 eastern cotton mill hands
is a feature, but the great Fall River tie
up continues, and the strike of compare
lively small numbers of mine employees
is responsible for the idleness of close
to AZ. 900 Indiana and Illinois coal miners
ard higher prices for bituminous coal.
A very general advance in staple prices,
covering a wide range of industry, is an
event worthy of note."s

OPENING IN DIES MONIES.
Nathan Schee Building Factory In
Capital City.

Des Moines Register and Leader:
Nathan Schee, who has recently sold
his interest in the business of the o.
kaloosa Manufacturing company at
Oskaloosa, will open a factory here
for the manufacture of wagon boxes,
scoop boards. lawn swings and cement
building blocks. His business at o.
kaloosa in this line was very success
full and while he begins here in a small
way, the prospects are that it will
grow to large proportions, as he has
ample capital to finance it. The orig
inal investment will be about $25, 900.
He has purchased a lot, 150x112
feet, south of the Canadians proper
ty at 315 West South Ninth street. He
has already commenced the erection
of a two-story cement block building,
whose dimensions are 64x112. The
building will be completed this winter
and machinery will be installed so
that the factory will be under way by
spring. He expects to employ about
twenty men to start with.
Five years ago Mr.. Schee organized
the Oskaloosa Manufacturing compa-
ny and at that time Des Moines made
an effort to have the factory located
here. The factory has been very sue
cessful, From an original investment
of 100000. the business grew and now
more than 100000 is invested in the
plant. Mr. Schee has been hoping to
locate in Des Moines for some time
because>Uf tRe-4aT-ger, advantages here,
and his selling out in Oskaloosa gave
him this opportunity. Schee has been
n Of the most successful business
men in the state and has accumulated
a large amount OF property. The Com
mercial Exchange was interested in
securing this factory.
