Yesterday afternoon there were
placed ON display in the windows of
Prickett, Gerson & Gardner, on Pal
afox street, q series OF valuable and
attractive articles. together with signs
stating that these are all to be given,
free, to those who attend the auction
sale of lots in Englewood Heights this
week. Crowds surrounded the window
and studied the display, apparently
much Interested in the announcement
that the souvenirs were to be given
to those who attend the sale, not to
those who buy
There are numerous artistic pieces
of bric-a-brac from far Japan; table
ware, carving sets with buckhorn han
dies, razors, tiny mantel clocks, in gilt
and bronze, vases, cruets and many
toilet accessories, dear to hearts of
women. AS the bills stated that es-
pecial heed would be paid to ladies
who visit the sale-which occurs this
week in the afternoons-it would seem
from the interest evinced in this dis
play that the sale will attract wide
attention.

Now, therefore,
Be it Resolved, That in the death
OF Stephen r. Mallory the bar OF
Florida has lost one of the ablest and
purest jurists, the people Of the state
have lost q citizen strong to uphold

while irreparable, leaves with them a
memory of disinterested good will and
kindly fellowships which will always
be cherished; and to his family ana

be to them a source of pride.

nearly all of these entertainments
have always insisted upon playing as

philanthropists seated at the tables
adjacent to that at which the two
women were engaged on rubber
were startled to hear one Of the four
women seated at the table shout:
