evening. The magistrate gave him
hearing on a warrant, charging
him with buying stolen copper wire

FALL TRADE
GROWS ACTIVE
in gLARKSBgRg

IF you chanced to see a forlorn,
solitary gentleman pacing up and
down Pike street yesterday you
would never have recognized him as
the genial and iovial Clarence Stout.
The reason of his exile to the. cold
pavements was that Porter's big
millinery opening was on, and that
store was surely no place for mere
man. A reporter braced the multi
stude of ladies, and escaped unscath-
ed, but then reporters bear charmed
lives. Attending this sale was the
largest crowd in the history of the
store, and from the obs and my's
that the throng of the fair-sex gave
vent to it must certainly have been
the real article.
This establishment handles moth
ing but strictly pattern hats, direct
from the eastern and New York
markets. Expense in the worSroom
being thus saved. Prices are great-
" reduced, fact which win be
greatly appreciated.
r. J. LYNCH EXHIBITS.
The large department store of n.
J. Lynch & Co. today and tomorrow
will be given over to their millinery
department for their annual fall dis
play. They are showing some of the
latest designs and models in dress
and street hats with many attending.
THE WOMAN'S STORE DIS
PLAY.
Sept. 81, % and 80 are three red
letter DAYS for the ladies. The ublq-
uitous reporter formed a flying
wedge and managed to penetrate
about three feet into the interior OF
the Woman's store on Main street,
when he was Immediately engulfed
in sea of hats and ladies. This
store has hewildering variety OF
the new STYLES and shapes and pat
terms, and the obliging clerks were
quite busy in exhibiting them.
After that journey around the
shons the reporter felt like Old
Gound might have done. There
we're hats to right of him, hats to
left. hats behind. hats above
thank goodness there won't be an
other opening until spring.

ton of supremacy in accordance with the
demands of the New York army of base
ball fans, Griffith has paved the way, ap-
parently, for Brush to arrange an interest
ing series in sportsmanlike way. II
Brush is willing to play the Boston Ameri-
cans why should he be unwilling to rlay
the New York Americans? The rival clubs
in Philadelphia and st. Louis are to meet
in the spring. and the Cincinnati club has
already arranged games with the New
York, Boston. Gle leland and Detroit Amer
lean League teams. The New York Ma
tionals won the pennant in their league.
and the New York Americans lost their
pennant by one game. For that reason
base ball fans are anxious for local
series.
When Brush was asked last night If he
would play the New York Americans in
stead of the Bostons he said:
I'VE would have to cancel several of our
exhibition games to play the Bostons, but
-as they will not play the incident is closed.
We will not entertain a proposition from
the New York Americans for spring series
under any circumstances" All of which
prompts the question, VIII Brush consent
to worlds series if the New York Ameri-
cans WIN their pennant and McGraws men
are again successful in the National
League?

Mail Contract Liability.

Justice Day of the Supreme Court of the
United States yesterday handed down the
opinion of the court in the case of Luther
c. Slavens VS.. the United States, involving
the liability of the government on mail
contracts terminated in advance of the
time for which. they were made. Slavens
secured contracts to transport the mails in
the cities Of Boston, Brooklyn and Omaha
for four years. During the term the Post
master General determined to have part
of the mails in Brooklyn and Boston car
ried by electric car lines. He gave notice
OF such intention and indicated a willing
ness that the contractor should continue
the work on the diminished routes. This
he declined to do, and brought suit to re-
cover for services IL they had been per-
formed. The court refused to grant the
prayer, saying:
1--WE think the advertisement and the
regulations under which this contract was
made and the contract as entered into were
intended to permit the Postmaster Gen.
eral, when in his Judgment the public in
terest requires 1t, to terminate the contract
and If a service Of different character has
become necessary in his opinion, to put
an end to the former service upon the stip-
ulated indemnity Of one months extra pay
being given to the contractor. 1t is not
reasonable to hold that the power given to
the Postmaster General for the public in
terest can only be exercised when the mail
service in the district fs~to be entirely
abandoned"
