great retail centre, but from but a
small conception Of what it really is
until they have had the opportunity
Of looking the numerous bargains
over and see how much lower the
prices and how mucn better the
goods than can be found elsewhere.
The James L. Tapp Co, is already
household word but how little the
people know what bargains can be
found at this, the Bargain Centre Of
the Southern States, Mr. Tapp the
main-spring of this concern spends
the greater part OF his time in New

of South Carolina need. In fact he

bought. as he we'll knows how, exactly
what the women want. Mr.. Tapp has

THREAT.
Hightstown's Mayor Decides He viii Not
Resign.

HIGHTSTOWN, Nov. 20:-Mayor
Richard D.. Norton says that he has
reconsidered his an~te-election threat
to resign in the event of the defeat of
the democratic candidates for COM
con council. He says he has learned
from republican sources that the
campaign fund was larger this year
than eve before, and that he has
ground for estimating that at least
40 votes were purchased, which
| would be much more than enough to
turn the result. He also believes that
many of the supposedly bribed voters
would have voted the municipal part
of the democratic ticket if they had
had the privilege. Various other rea-
sons enter into Mayor Norton's re-
consideration of his prediction an
-nouncement, chief of which is that
the merging of the local and general
! elections caused by the voters to lose
Isight of the Importance of local is
sues.

UNIQUE FUNERAL.
MldvaIe Company Had Steel ingot
Buried With Church Rites.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. ga III.
neral without a parable II, this city
took place at the NIidvale steel works,
where Il forty ton ingot of steel per
meated with the flesh. blood and II
of two workmen was buried with the
solemn rites of the Roman Catliohc
church.
The workmen who were so strangely
laid away We're John Forkin ana DO
seph Gazda, two foreign speaking Ia
borers. who met Il horrible death q
week ago. They were in a pit near a
cupola containing many tons or molten
steel. A plug gave way, and 10000
pounds of the fiery liquid poured from
the cupola and overwhelmed them.
The men were completely inclnerated,
and not a trace of themselves or theiI
clothing was left.
The Midvale Steel company was
averse to selling the steel or using ii
10. the purpose it was intended. and
II was decided to bury II with the
rites of the church to which the I'M
fortunate men had belonged.
\ great crowd sought admission to
the works, but only the two sisters of
Gazda, who depended upon him for
support. and about a hundred work
men who were on Sunday duty were
permitted to attend the services along
with the officials of he company. For
kin had no relatives in this country.
Among the officials was President
Charles Harrah. All heads were bar
ed and flags were lowered to half staff
while two priests conducted the serv-
ices. After the sisters of Gazda had
been led away the great ingot was Gov
cred with earth, and the funeral party
dispersed. The grave of the men will
be appropriately marked by the com
pany.

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS
GRAND CHANCELLOR.

Grand Chancellor William T. Cow
gill will issue the following official
circular to the subordinate lodges of
the state i'll reference to the death of
lGrand Inner Guard John /. Main. Ii
is reproduced here for the benefit of
our Pythian readers. who will not re-
ceive it officially until their next reg
ular conventions:
Pa~ulsboro, N. j., Nov. Is, 1905.
To the Officers and Members of the
Grand Lodge and of the Subordi-
nate Lodges, Knights of Pythias Of
New Jersey;
Brother Knights-The order of the
Knights of Pythias especially the
Grand Domain of New Jersey, has
suffered IL great loss in the death of
Grand Inner Guard John l. Main.
Brother Main has been in declining
health for more than a year, and on
Monday morning, Nov. 13, death
came to relieve him of his suffering.
We have not only lost an official,
but we have also lost a Knight of
Pythias in the fullest sense Of the
term one who exemplifed in his daily
life the great principles taught by our
noble order. He was ever kind and
courageous, and devoted a most ac-
tive life, up to the hour of his death,
to Pythian work, ever striving for
the elevation, the happiness, the bet
torment of mankind.
While the loss falls heavily upon
the Knights of Pythias of New Jer-
sey, it falls most heavily upon his be-
reaved wife, who has the sympathy
and prayers of the thousands of New
Jersey Pythians.
My brothers, let us emulate the
noble example set by our departed
brother-like him be true to our
homes and loved ones, true to our
God, so that our lives, like his, shall
be such that when we come to the
river that marks the unknown shore,
our hands may be filled with deeds
of charity, the golden keys than open
the palace of eternity"
| recommend and request that the
cnarter of each lodge in this Grand
Domain be drapped in morning for a
period of thirty days.
The funeral will be held from his
late residence, 81 Fabyan Place. New
ark. N. j., Sunday morning, Novem-
Der 10, 1905, at 1890 o'clock.

FIRE
IN GLASGOW.
Thirty.nine Dead Taken from a
Scotch Lodging House Most
" WOrkingmeu.

GLASGOW, Nov. 20.-The most ter
rihle fire that has occurred in Great
Britain for many years broke out here
in Il cheap lodging house for men in
Watson street and resulted in the loss
of thirty-nine lives and the severe in
jury of many others.
The flames were first noticed on the
fourth floor of the building. which was
occupied by $50 men. An alarm was
raised, and the firemen We're speedily
in attendance, but flames and smoke
were then issuing from most of the
windows OH the fourth floor. An ex-
traordinary scene was created by n
procession of almost naked men issu-
ing from the door of the building, and
against their frantic efforts to escape
the tiremen had actually to fight for
admission.
Reaching the upper floors, the fire
men found that the narrow passages
were becoming congested with men
who dropped TO the floor overcome by
smoke.
The dead were mostly workmen i'll
the prime of life. They presented a
horrible spectacle, their b%laekened
faces bearing evidence of terrible
struggles to escape.
On Il search of the building being
made and a complete list of the vie
/ tins obtained it turned out that thir'
ty-nine were dead and thirty-two in
jured.
1t appears to be the custom of these
dodgers to sleep in Il nude condition.
and the march of the survivors 10 the
police station was Il. fantastic one.
Some had snatched the cover of the
beds and others their trousers, while
many were completely naked. The To-
cal authorities had TO be called upon
to supply the me with clothing and
warm meals. Owing to their migra-
tory habits and the absence of perma-
nent homes many of the dead will new
er be identified. The Identification of
others is rendered difficult by the alb
sence of clothing.
