THE CITY DEPARTMENT STORE

One of the many growing evils
of this country today is the city
department store. In our town,
where we have the best of stores,
the most honorable OF merchants,
and where goods are sold at a
margin so small as not to afford
respectable living to our bust
ness men, thousands of dollars
are annually sent to the depart
ment stores of our great cities.
Farmers expect our merchants
to pay them fancy price for
butter, eggs and poultry, for
their pumpkins, potatoes, apples
and tomatoes, and then they take
the money received from our
houe merchants and send it to q
city department store. There is
neither economy nor honor in
such a manner of doing business.
You can write it down ir your
hat, that as IA rule, the city de-
partment store is swindle. Our
citizens who patronize tn g N
should be compelled to ship their
butter and eggs to them There
is not business man in our town
who will not duplicate their
prices for the same quality of
goods, and he who turns down
his home merchants to patronize
these fakirs is far from being a
loyal, patriotic and good citizen.

Probable that Marine Hospital
will not be Closed ON July LIST
Teie-ram Received Yesterday from
Congressman Patterson In Regard 20
the Matter-Secretary Shaw Agrees
to Look Into the Matter Further
Number Of Towns are Interested and
Representatives From interested
Districts are Fighting TO Keep Hos
Ditals From Being Closed.

4 few days since 1t was regarded as
practically settled that the marine hos
pital in this city would be closed on the
first Of July, but regardless Of the way
the BUSINESS men felt about the matter
they went to work with a determina-
ton to see if the government could not
be prevailed upon TO keep the hospital
open, and foremost in this fight MAS the
Merchants Association and Chamber or
Commerce and it looks like their eff
forts combined with other commercial
bodies in the different cities where the
hospitals were ordered to De Closed, Is
going to result in some good. President
Taylor, of the Chamber OF Commerce,
wired Senator Simmons in regard TO
the matter and he replied that he
would do all in his power to prevent
the hospital from being closed. L. b.
Rogers, president of the Merchants AS
sociation wired to Congressman Patter-
son in regard to il n in 9 ad-
dition to a letter received yesterday
morning from -Ir.~PatterSon, the fol-
lowing telegram was received ABOUT 4
o'clock in the afternoon:
/. B. Rogers, Wilmington, \. c.:
Secretary Shaw orders another lnves-
tigation on marine hospital. Looks
more favorable for preventing discon-
%tinuance.

In addition to the hospital at Will
mington, the marine hospitals at Vine
yard Haven, Massachusetts; Louisville,
Kentucky; Evansville, Indiana; st.
| Louis, Missouri; Cairo, Illinois, and
| MEMPHIS, Tennessee, were ordered
closed. The marine hospital in this city
is the only one between Baltimore and
Mobile.
| In the investigation made some
months ago it was stated that the
patients could be treated more cheaply
in contract hospitals than in marine
hospitals. Bids were asked for when
the order to discontinue the hospital
was issued but the board Of managers
of the James Walker Memorial hospital
did not submit a bid, not caring to op-
ligate themselves to receive any more
patients than those from this city. 1t Is
now thought that the time for closing
the hospital will be postponed for Il
would be impossible to make any klno
of an investigation between now anc

Thought He Belonged Inside.

Rev. W. II. Morrison, Of BrocktOn,
Mass, formerly Of Manchester, \. H.
where he enjoyed a long and success
full pastorate, is a bit Of a humorist
and enjoys a joke, whether on himself
or another, says the Boston Herald.
His manner and sympathetic chardc-
teristics make him in much request at
funerals. and il is related that on one
occasion it so happened that the hacks
allotted to the mourners were all filled,
so the minister rode 10 the cemetery
on a hearse with the driver.
On returning from the grave he was
driven 70 his home On the same uC-
conventional conveyance. His wife
met him at the door. ana. somewhat
indignant at the apparently unusual
proceedings, and not noticing that Il
was a hearse the clergyman was riding
on. exclaimed: William. what did
you ride up there for? Why didn't you
get inside, where you belong?"

feet that he President vas dissatis-

about to call for the resignation of
Secretary WILSON. who was to be sue
ceeded in Office by Clifford PinchoI, a
close friend Of the President and at
present the head of the forest SER
vice.
When the attention of Secretary vii

had just finished reading Of his I'M

A Weman.s CompIexio n.

1t is rank foolishness to attempt
to remove sallowness or gressines
OF the skin by the use of cosmetics,
or local treatment, as advocated
by the beauty doctors. The only
safe and sure way that woman can
improve her complexion is by purify
ing ard enriching the blood, which
can only be accomplished by keeping
the liver healthy and active. The
liver is the seat of disease and blood
pollution. Green's August Flower
acts directly Ion the liver, cleanses
and enriches the blosd, purifies the
complexion. It also cures consti-
patton, biliousness, nervousness, and
induces refreshing sleep. A single
bottle of August Flower has been
known to cure the most pronounced
and distressing case of dyspepsia
and digestion. New trial size bottle
