A Metropolitan Establishment.

Concerning the new Fearnside-
Shelley Clothing Co., store at st.
Augustine, the Meteor of that place
last week said:
For city that delights in the most
quaint and curious relics of the past
or the most modern establishments
of the time and date, st. Augustine
may be classed first and foremost.
The millionairs of the land who tour
the earth, revel in the wealth of lux
ury to be found in our hostleries.
Equally will they marvel with our
home people il the grandeur of the
lisment such as the FEARNSIDE-
SHELLY CLOTHING COMPANY have
prepared on the corner of st. George
street and Cathedral Place. The
cost of the fixtures alone in this
modern store runs away up into the
thousands. The goods that will or
nament the cases will be selected
with all the care that skilled talent
can command or money can procure.
In truth, it is a rare combination of
ideal location, select equipment, and
superb Judgment conspiring with
business tact that can but proclaim
the tide of business which is bound
to flow through the hands of the
Fearnside-Shelly Clothing Co. To
further close deal with success, the
company has secured as its mana
ger Mr.. r. F. Galloway, than whom
no more popular or talented sales
man ever established a greater repu-
tation for fair dealing and compe-
tencv withal.

Damage Suit Was Quickly
Settled,

Walter M. Davis, the well-known
lawyer, tells an interesting story of
how he settled suit for damages
against a well-known railroad COM
pany without a minutes worry,
thereby pleasing an old darkey to
such an extent that his business has
been greatly benefited.
IA few days ago an old darkey
entered my office, took seat, but
finding that was very busy walked
out. In about an hour he returned
and again took seat. In few min
utes | was at leisure and announced
that / could attend to his case.'
'Dis is Mr.. Davis, amt it?"
"Yes, my name is Davis, what can
l do for your"
"Mr. Davis, / is got very impor-
tant case for you to take up. | know
you is a busy man, but dis case is
most important, and | is been rec.
commended to you as good lawyer
"Well state your case and we will
see what is in it" said |.
"Well, it is dis way. | bought me
a round trip ticket to -, on de -
railroad; when | got ready to come
back l tagged de train and dey
wouldn't stop for me. De next day
I went to de station and tagged de
train, but dat time de engineer paid
no attention to me, so l had to walk
back to Jacksonville.
II paid 80 cents for de ticket when
l left and is got de return ticket,
and what / wants is my money back.
| done been to de railroad office and
to de depot, but no one won't give
me my money back. Somebody told
me to see you, cause you could get
my money back"
"Well, Nose, it seems to me you
have a pretty clear case and should
get damages. What do you place
your claim at, and where do | get
my fees for handling the case?"
"Well, l isn't thought about dat,
all | wants is to get my 10 cents
back"
II told the old .darkey to come
back in about an hour and | would
have time to get up the papers to
enter the suit against the company.
He went off, and in the meantime
had forgotten all about him. In an
hours time he was back, and seeing
my chance, jumped up from my
desk and reaching my hand in my
pocket, l said: Well, Nose, have
got settlement from the company,
here is your l5 cents
'"The old negro looked bewildered,
but soon a smile played over his
black features and he said, taking
the money:
''Lawd, Mr.. Davis, dat was sho
quick work. I sho is much oblige to
you and is goin' to tell all de mig
gers l see to come to you when dey
wants to sue de RAILROADS for dam
ages"
"Since then the old negro has sent
me several cases which have paid
fairly well, Never in my life have /
seen an old negro so happy as when
[ handed him that 10 nts."-Times

In haywoOd's Trial Will
Claim He Is a Victim
OF A CONSPIRACY.
Clarence Darow, Attorney for Min
ers' Officers, Makes a Long
Address to the Jury.

Boise, Idaho, June 24.--Wil!iam d.
Haywood having already pleaded not
guilty to the charge of numbering ex-
Gov. Steunenberg and having heard
the evidence the state has placed be-
fore the jury in support of its charge,
VIII to-day formally assert his entire
innocence and outline the evidence he
purposes to produce Clarence Oar
row, for the defense. will say that his
client is not only not guiltyo of conspir.
acy to assassinate Steunenberg, but
that Haywood is in fact the victim Of
a conspiracy to disrupt the Western
Federation of Miners and, under the
guise of legal procedure to condemn
to death the chief officers of the fed.
Grafton, of which Haywood is the sec
retary and one of his co-defendants
under the Indictment, Meyer, Is the
president.
Darrow's address to the jury prob.
ably will take up most of the day. He
will assert that Haywood rose from
the humble position of a miner to be
come the secretary and treasurer of a
labor organization with upward of 50,.
600 members. He will show that Hay
wood was elected to Office by the
members of the federation through
successive terms of office because of
his ability and honesty He will point
out that The personal character of the
men has not been assalled Darrow
will not deny that StemIenberg was
assassinated. but he Will maintain
that his client had nothing to do with
this or any other murders and that
the state has not connected Haywood
with any conspiracy. He will charge
a conspiracy on the part of the Mine
Owners association with large
membership and unlimited money, Ia
wreck the federation.
II will be asserted that the alleged
conspiracy between Haywood, Meyer
Pettibone, Orchard and Adams was a
fabrication made by Orchard to save
his life and that the price of the con
cocted confession was the pardon OF
the actual murderer of Steunenbe.g
The defense expects to take not
more than ten days for evidence. but
counsel for the state will go into a
close examination of all the witnesses
brought 10 upset the Orchard story
and for this reason il is thought that
the case for the defense may take M
longer time than was occupied hy
the state. The rebuttal testimony
will take probably a week. The
speeches and verdict may take the
greater part of another. but It is not
thought that the conclusion will be
reached before the end OF July.
