SAMPLES ARE COSTLY.
Many Are Given Away by the Big
 Stores.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
 That story some time ago about for tunes being given away In samples" said man with an eye for the curious. made me think of the vast cost to department stores in years time, we will say, as beginner. I have had reason to know something about the money spent in the sample giving practice, as have a friend employed as a clerk in the silk depart ment of one of the largest stores In the city A lady will enter the store and ask to be shown to the silk department or any of the other dress goods depart ments. She will make known her mission by asking to see a shade of silk, or other cloth. to match a tiny piece she has in her hand Then the clerk looks through his stock diligently trying to find the match piece and also in the hope of servnig the sample hunter In a hurry, for the more experienced clerk know that the lady will not stop at one or two, but often wishes to see many others, all of which entails plenty of work taking down and replacing the goods. Sometimes the stores reap benefit by giving the samples, for if they sell enough cloth to make one dress there is already some return for the money given away.
 Recently a lady walked into a de- partment store and asked for, and ob- tained, several samples of expensive silk. From her appearance she seemed to be a poor person. but the salesman was sur prised a short while afterward when the same lady returned and bought some of each sample of silk She was purchas- inS agent and had been obtaining samples for prospective customers. The stores have system of sending out the samples which help the customers materially. A small tag Is attached to each sample, giv- ing It's price and lot number. with some remarks of helpful nature to the buyer. The idea that seeing is believing finds its way into the dress goods departments in the stores. The customers have plenty of time to take the sample, which Is Of a generous size, home. allowing them the advantage of looking at 1t in the daylight, and artificial light, studying the shades, and matching 1t with other dresses so as to prevent sameness finding it's way into the wardrobe. There are many things to absorb the attention of the average creature. and the sample-giving scheme Is not the least important among them.'

First Aid to the Hungry.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
 If the restaurant men want to do good turn for the public they will not for the next few days insist upon selling steaks at g apiece, and chops, large enough for buttonhole bouquets, at a dol- lar, but will make a speciality of vegeta- bles, macaroni, pastry, soups, salads, creams, desserts and fruits, furnishing portions that are really made to be eat en, not looked at, and giving the same care to cooking and service that they be- stow on meat. There is reason to believe that we eat more meat than is good for us, that the dietary of the common man is tlresome from its monotony of flesh, that a more liberal interspersing of fari- naceous foods and vegetables would tend to better health, lightness and elasticity of body and peace of mind, especially in hot weather, and no doubt the prepared health foods are better at the beginning of the day than is the customary chunk of greasy, gristly flesh. Of course on the score of economy there Is no comparison; vegetable food is by far the least waste full in material and cheapest in price. 1t is worth while to try 1t for a season.

REPUBLICANS MAY
 HAVE A BAD SPLIT
DR. CHANDLER. NOMINEE OF THE REGULARS" IN DELAWARE, MAKES SENSATIONAL SPEECH BEFORE THE CONVENTION.

Dover. Del, August 9.-Dr. Joseph H. Chandler when nominated for governor of Delaware by the regular republican convention, today created a stir by taking the platform and declaring that he accept- ed the nomination under the sole consid- eration that he would enter the fight and stay on the ticket until November. T would rather suffer honest defeat" he de- clared, than be pulled off the ticket that somebody else might be substituted"
 This was received with deafening cheers from the Dupont men who had won a vic- tory over the Higgins forces in nominat- ing Chandler. The regulars who com posed today's convention, are really out numbered by the union or Addicks re- publicans, and when in recent years they have made out a ticket, 1t has always been with the understanding that truce would be patched up later. and both re- publican factions would agree to trade and substitute the nominees. making one ticket to meet the united demands.
 The Higgins men who are more cons ciliatory to the Addicks republicans and desire one state ticket even at a sac- rifice, after many of the delegates had left, got through a resolution empower ing the state central committee to make any changes upon the ticket named to- day which in its Judgment are necessary to bring about the success of the whole republican ticket in Delaware.
 The ticket was completed as follows:
 Governor-Dr. Joseph Chandler
 Lieutenant Governor-Samuel H. Derby.
 ongressman-Horace G. Knowles.
 Attorney-General-Rob Richards.
 Treasurer-Thomas H. Rawlins.

Ills Funniest Incident.
From the New York Globe.

From the New York Globe.
 Harry Furniss, the English caricaturist, who ought to know funny thing when he sees 1t, tells this old one in his new book of "reminiscences as ''the funniest incident I ever came across" The prince oonsort, cruising on the Scottish coast. was taking a turn on the royal yacht, when, passing by the cook house, the olfactory nerves of his royal highness were sensbly affected by a sweet smell ing savor emerging from a boiling kettle.

Number of Exciting Amateur
 Events Are Promised
RUSSELL WALTHOUR HURT
As Result of Accident In Atlanta Sat urday He VIII Be Unable to Race, But Good Sport
 Is Assured.

Cycle races will be held at the stadium tomorrow night and they promise to be much better than any similar events vel held there. Owing to the accident To Russell Walthour last Saturday night in Atlanta, when he fell and was badly in- 1ured, there will be no professional motor paced race, but an exciting match race between Elliott of Atlanta, and Ped HleK- man of Birmingham, has been arranged
 These two riders are considered the best In their respective cities, and they nave ridden some neck and neck heats in the previous races at the stadium. For that reason 1t is believed that they will ride a pretty race tomorrow night. Elliott left Atlanta last night and will arrive In Birmingham this morning to train Tor two days on the track, previous to meet Ing Hickman. The latter is in fine condl- ton and expects to clip second or TWO off any previous time made by an anna teur on the track this year.
 In place of the motor-paced between Russell Walthour. a brother of Bobby, and the elder Elliott of Atlanta, there will be motor race between Bob Stubbs of Birmingham and Hardie also of Bir- mingham It will be a five miles race.
 A one mile handicap for amateurs will also be run and a number of entries have been received for that. There will be at least three heats of this race, and following this there will be one mile handicap for those failing to qualify for the finals of the one mile handicap.
 A nunnher of hoVs under sixteen years of age will enter the boys race and they always put up good exhibition. Should 1t rain after o'clock tomorrow after noon, the races will be postponed. Ii it rains after that hour the track will not dry sufficiently to make 1t possible for the riders to race.

To the Sporting Editor of the Age
 Herald:
 It has come to my ears many times Tor the past week that Bill Glenn, otherwise known as the Irish Kid, has said that he is here for the purpose of fighting any man up to 1SS pounds. That part is all right, but when he says that he can best me he is all wrong.
 This controversy has been going on among my friends and they are urging me to put stop to 1t.
 l still claim the lightweight champion ship, but l don't want to do any fighting. though if this man persists I must call him down.
 Let him show up a forfeit and do busi- ness or let him shut up.
 I am not in the business now, but I am willing to show him that he Is not up to the mark.
 He thinks because he has been with Fitzslmmons in his training that he is there" but let him show up something. I am here to do business, not to talk.

The fire jumped several hundred yards, wiping out residences on Government street, and then went with the high wind to the Work estate, where 1t is now raging.
 It Is too high for water pressure there and the fire department Is practically helpless.
