The outfitter who leaves the young mans tastes out of his calculations misses his opportunity. On the other nand, the outdtter who gives much attention to providing the wears young men prefer, gets the thanks and the trade of the young men. The showing of Varsity suits at Meigs & Go. $, Bridgeport, this Spring, is sufficient evidence of the firms zeal in catering to young men. These suits are on the real college model, very swagger, and in wide variety of new fancy mix lures in both single and double breasted styles. Further evidence is found in the generous display of col lege shapes in hats and shoes for young men; in picked styles of negligee shirts and neckwear for young men; in fancy hosiery for the low-shoe days so near at hand; in fact in everything young men wear. The near approach of Easter suggests the wisdom of select ing suit or overcoat now, while stocks are fresh. Meigs & Co. make a point of this in their advertising and state they will lay aside wears selected now and deliver them later.

 The third great disaster in the United States within little more than a year, marked by appalling loss of life, was recorded in the news of Tuesday morning. This time it is MasSachu. setts that suffers, and again the vic- timS number women and children overtaken in an instant by rush of irresistible flames, crowds of spectators standing by pOwerleSS to help. The loss of life by Monday mornings dis aster in the Grover shoe factory at Brockton may reach 100, perhaps more. The moral of the disaster is an old one. with a new phase. A defective boiler, or defective attention to the boiler, caused the disaster. Which it was and how such an accident can be pre-. vented in future will, of course, be the study of proper authorities. It will be, remembered that in the Iroquois thea ter fire, during the holiday pantomime on December 30, 1903, over 400 lives were lost. The loss by the steamer Slocum disaster on June 15, 1904, when Sunday school picnic party were the victims, will never be known. There were about 1000 victims. In the list of disasters in Massachusetts, Mon- days explosion and fire take place as one of the most serious. By the col lapse and burning of the Pemberton mills at Lawrence, January 10, 1860, the number of dead accounted for was 1l7, while 89 were left on the records as missing and some 15O were injured.
 By the Mill river flood in Western
 Massachusetts, May 16, 1874, 40 lives were lost, and in the fire in the French Catholic church in Holyoke during the
 feast of Corpus Christi, May IT, 1875,
 upward of 70 periShed.

Eternal Sleep for Joe Jefferson.

West Palm Beach, Fla, April 3d.
Joseph Jefferson died at his home, 1.-THE
Reefs" at Palm Beach, Fla, at Gle
O'Clock this evening. The end came
after day of Inconsistencies and after
a heroic struggle of days which had ex-
hausted his vitality. AT his deathbed
were his wife, his sons, Charles b. and
Frank Jefferson; his nurse, Miss Mabel
Bingham; Dr. r. b. Potter and his faith
full old servant, Carl Kettler.
The end was not surprise to his
family. Ever since his last sinking spell
which came after rally on Thursday
morning and which was followed by an
apparent improvement until Friday, the
family has been waiting for the end.
The sickness of Mr.. Jefferson, which
ended in his death, was contracted, it is
believed, while on recent visit to his
son, Charles b. Jefferson, at Hobe Sound,
q few miles above Palm Beach, where he
went to meet his friend, former Presi-
dent Cleveland. 1t is believed that from
slight indiscretion in his eating he suf-
fered an attack of indigestion.
Since his return to his home his condi-
tion grew steadily worse, with slight
rallies until the end.
The body of Mr.. jefferson will be
taken to Buzzard's Bay on a special
train leaving here tomorrow evening,
accompanied by all the members of his
family who are here. 1t will reach New
York Wednesday and the family hope to
reach Buzzard's Bay the evening of that
day.

Yorkville, April 21.--Major James F..
Hart. prominent lawyer, the gallant
commander of the famous "Harts Bat
terry" during the war between the States,
leader in the Hampton movement of
1876 and a highly esteemed Christian
gentleman of Yorkville, died at his resi-
dence at $50 O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
Major Hart had been great sufferer
for some months with cancer of the
stamach, which caused his death. All
the best medical skill and attention of
loving relatives and friends could do for
this fearless Confederate soldier was of
no avail.

del with distinction, fought with marked
gallantry through the war between the
sections and was severely wounded, be.
ing crippled through after life, having
lost leg.
He was one of the most successful
lawyers of the upper part of the State

vived by the widow of his second mar
riage, by three sons and two daughters.
He was member of the Presbyterian
. church and had been an elder for many
years

About rheumatism.

There are few diseases that inflict more
torture than rheumatism and there is
been suggested. To say that it can be
cured is, therefore, bold statement to
make, but Chamberlain's Pain Balm,
which enjoys an extensive sale, has met
with great success in the treatment of
this disease. One application of Pain
Balm will relieve the pain, aud hundreds
of sufferers have testified to permanent
cures by it's use. Why suffer when Pain
Balm affords such quick relief and costs

Sully May Be Solvent.

New York, April M.-MacGrane Coke,
referee in bankruptcy in the Sully case,
has sent to Judge Holt, of the United
States Court, an opinion, which, if ap-
proved by the court, will reopen the
Sully case and bring up for adjudication
many important points. The questions
raised are whether the one million dol
lars paid Saturday, March Is, 1904, was
preference, and if so. was it illegal /;
second, whether Fridays prices or
Saturdays prices should determine the
amount the Snlly estate owes; third,
whether the transaction on the Cotton
Exchange are gambling. If it is de-
cded that exchange transactions are
gambling, Sully will be solvent and will
not owe cent.
