Twenty years later Monica Mutche-

One of the prettiest weddings OF

their green and white decorations,
white snow balls being used effec-
lively with ferns and palms. The

Miss Rose Coghlan needs no intro
duction to Greeley audiences Ihere
are very few theatregoers in the city
who have not been delighted with
her playing and who have not ad-
mired the high-class features OF the
dramatic art which she portrays IN
her acting. Since her first appear
ance here, Miss Coghlan has always
been a favorite. She has worked
hard at her profession to attain the
position as one of the brightest stars
on the American stage. The oues-
tionahle advertising OF the latter
day where social scandals excite pub
lie curiosity and draw crowded
houses has never been her lot. Her
career on the stage is a proof OF the
fact that she has aimed at being
lady and an artistic first, and her
success is a further demonstration
that respectability In private life
and genuine dramatic ability are
more acceptable to the general pub
lie than the ephemeral notority
which scandal may give to lady
who prominently comes before pub
lie notice Miss Coghlan will be
seen at the opera house tomorrow

Shaw's greatest and most discussed
play, MRS. Warren's Profession. y

Such marks as these are no secret
il one sets himself to pick them out.
Usually all that is necessary Is to
find out what several of the ten let
ters are and then fix upon the ones
most likely to represent l, 5 and U.
Such secret cost marks can be tig-
ured out in this way in five min
utes sometimes. Other merchants
use the letters in this way:
ABcD DEFGH H1J
2 3 s s 9
Or as follows:
ZYX W vUTs 8 RQ
Il 3 s 6 s 8 o
Still other systems take every
second letter in the alphabet or ev-
cry third letter, beginning at either
end.
The crowning argument against
these systems is that all betray the
fact that they are cost marks. B l
\ on a tag can mean nothing but
cost
What does it matter? Only this
that the more the customers mind
is diverted from thoughts of what
the article costs the dealer the more
likely he is to be favorably impress
ed with the article itself.
The solution of the problem lies
in using a cost mark which will ap-
pear to be something else. An ideal
cost mark is the one that has an
easily remembered key, that may be
transmitted by voice, that is SO sim
pie in form as to minimize chances
of error in writing and reading and
that is not what it seems. The fol-
lowing is such one: 81 234."
To use it, l doubles the figures
placed after it, 2 adds so per cent
to the figures placed after it, 3 de-
ducts third, deducts half. The
cost mark key is always the initial
letter. To illustrate its use:
In marking the cost on an article
costing 60 cents one may write it in
four ways-l30, 240, 800, APO
as the initial l means to double the
following figures, the initial 2
means to add so per cent to the fol-
lowing figures, the initial means
to deduct a third from the following
figures, ETC., thus: 13O (2x3O) is 60;
240 40 plus so per cent? is so; 800
go minus third) is 60, and 4120
(120 minus half is 60.
In writing the cost on the goods
under this system the abbreviation
"No." or the sign = is placed be-
fore the cost. Thus the customer is
led to believe that it is the number
OF the article instead of the cost
mark. This makes it great advan-
tage IN conversation between the
clerk and the manager or proprietor
before customer.
For instance, the customer is pro-
testing against the price. The clerk
may think reduction wise and that
it will be granted by the manager,
or he may desire the managers in
dorsement of the price.
The manager does not have to ex-
anime the tag or ask its price to
learn the cost. He simply asks,
"What number is it," The letter
or hieroglyphic system would not
permit this simplicity in such a
case.-New York Sun.

Results of Tinsdar,s Elections,

AsSSuAN5 VA \ 0SGN~J - AtSSOAV"Se
Elections were held on Tuesday in
| nine states and number of cities OF
the Union, and while no particular
political significance attached to a
majority of the contests, such as pos
sessed any Importance in that respect
were highly favorable to the Republic
ans. The general results may be
briefly summarized as follows:
Massachusetts elected the entire Re-
publican state ticket and q legislature
that will be composed of about two
thirds Republicans and one-third Dem.
t.crats. Gov. Guild is reelected by
over 100, 900 majority, the largest given
any candidate 10 Massachusetts since
the free-silver campaign. In the city
of Boston District Attorney Moran,
independent Democrat, was reelected
as the candidate OF the Independence
League, defeating the straight Demo-
cratic and Republican candidates by
a large plurality.
In Rhode Island Gov. Higgins, Dem
ocrat, was reelected and carried in
the Democratic candidate for lieuten-
ant governor with him. The other
state officers and large majority Of
the legislature are Republican.
Early returns from New Jersey indi-
Gated the success of the Democratic
state ticket and very close legisla-
tures but later reports showed the eIec.
tion of the Republican state candidates
and two-thirds of the members of both
houses of the legislature. John Frank,
Ito Fort, the Republican nominee for
governor, carried the state by about
1000 majority.
Pennsylvania registered heavy Re-
publican gains as compared with the
eleotion of two years ago, and John
Q. Sheath defeated John G.. Hartman,
Democrat, for state treasurer, by over
l75, 900 votes.
Maryland gave an apparent Demo
cratic plurality of about 1000, and
both houses of the Legislature will be
Democratic. Ex-Gov. John Walter
Smith defeated Gov. Warfeld and
Congressman Talbot in the Democratic
primary for United States senator for
the long term, beginning in 1909. SEN
ator VIM. Pinckney Whyte. who is
serving BY gubernatorial appointment,

tute himself committee of one to lend his per.
sonal endeavors to enlarge the membership OF
this club.

thier and H. C. Brogle-and that the said COM

our hest efforts towards electing him governor
that he may redeem Louisiana from Democratic
misrule.

Orleans Daily Picayune and the Donaldsonvflle
Chief
1t is confidently expected that the
sixth ward Pharr club will become one
of the strongest and most influential
Republican campaign organizations
in New Orleans. 1t is composed of
excellent material and its members are
thoroughly in earnest in the deter
minatiou to give the gallant young
Republican standard bearer big
