The G.. \. Cane Shirt company of
this city has decided TO engage in the
manufacture OF colored shirts of all kinds
as has been contemplated for some time,
and the necessary arrangements for TAX
ing up that line of business have been
perfected. This change has been made
with view to making the company's
factory up-to-date aud progressive in
every way and it should and doubtless
will add largely to the scope of the bust
ness. 1t has always been Mr.. Canes
policy to maintain his business on high
standard, aud he intends that his keene
factory shall be no exception to the rule.
The development of the colored shirt
trade is likely to involve quite an exten-
sive enlargement of She business. A
custom order department has been
opened at the factory.

playing the rivalrieS and jealousies of the

by his predecessors on the throne
When ne was invested with the historic scimi-

the Sultans influence extends far beyond the

Every vestige of authority is concentrated in
the hands of the Sultan. He Is the absolute
autocrat of his empire. That his authority on
the whole has not been misused is shown by the
fact that the Armenians prefer his sceptre TO

Sublime Porte and in the growth Of the pros

EVENTFUL SEPTEMBER.
Many Notable Anniuersdr1es 10 BE
Celebrated This Month.

September Is OF all months in the year the one
in which occur the largest number of festivals
and anniversaries of national Importance in
various parts of the world. No less than seven
republics of the Western Hemisphere. namely,
Brazil. Chill, Guatemala. Costa Rca, Honduras.
Nicaragua and San Salvador celebrate during
the coming, three weeks the anniversary Of their
national independence and emancipation from
the rule Of monarchcal Europe nearly ninety
years ago. And tomorrow patriotic Germans
in all quarters of the globe will be commemo-
rating in customary Teutonic fashion their great
victory over the French at Sedan, where Ma
poleon III and his entire army were compelled
TO surrender to the late Emperor William. 1t is
doubtful whether there will be any official OBJ
servance Of the day in Germany. The Kaiser
and his government are endeavoring to con-
cillate France and TO assuage by every means
in their power that Gailic bitterness against
Germany which constitutes a standing. though
fortunately diminishing. menace to the mainten-
ancc of the peace Of Europe. Were Il not for
the danger of France endeavoring day tn
recover her lost provinces of Alsace-Lorraine.
and to avenge her crushing defeat at the hands
of the Germans II would be possible to proceed
posed to constitute the principal aim of the
peace congress of The Hague. Germany can
not afford to diminish her military strength as
long as there is any possibility Of conflict
with France, brought about either by popular
chauvinism by political expediency the
banks of the Seine. and France her side,
quite naturally processes herself unable to
duoe her armaments as long as those Of Ger
