Eventful Days Sale.

Last Saturday was gala day in the sales
records Of The Palace Clothing Company

This ambitious firm attempted to sell
out in one day the ENTIRE surplus stock
Of a New York clothing manufactured
mountain of suits, overcoats and crav-
enettes a~ggregating exactly 1896 gar
ments.
And the major portion of these garments
WAS sold-in one ay-bu at prices that
WOULD naturally SELL clothes.
But the 'remainders" remain-the final
odds and ends-the struggling lots that
ALWAYS hang over after a special SELL
ing, are re-offered to tomorrow's shop
pers. .r. Sc"
Come here and you will most likely find
SOMETHING to please you in a suit or
overcoat at S9.es-clothes that you will
agree are worth to SIS.
Come early enough and you are reason
ably sure to find some VERY good pick
up" in 1915 suits and overcoats that
would look more proper with $3.50 tags
attached.
There are no apologies offered for the
cl~othes--they are prime, new, stylish, of
nobby fabrics-but Palace admits that
the lines are broken-just what one
would EXPECT after a record days bust
ness on a line Of goods selling at 40 per
cent LESS han what they are actually
worth.
Take a chance-doubt a little If you
wish-but DO see what the Palace offers

Insofar as the Observation-Disclosures
conference yesterday is concerned, 1t had
to do with platform and with Mr.. Bryan's

that is, he discussed the questions with one

of the platform win be sounded through

And 1t is also safe to say the program
will not call for county option in the plat
form, but II will call for several amend

will be this: Making It a misdemeanor

for a second conviction the punishment

The s o'clock closing law will be. endorsed

tainly is not my purpose to try to make
any part Of the American people believe
that any Of these systems could be adopted
in the United States; certainly not without
very important notifications. And 1 am
not presenting to you tonight this matter
with a view of convincing you or leading
you to think for a moment that 1 or any
of the members Of the commission believe
that any of these systems could be adopted
by the United States.
An American System eeded
THE habits OF the one people, the reIa-
tions which exist between banks and bor-
rowers and banks and depositors. the Is, OOC
Independent institutions in the United
States, all related to the development OF
various communities, must be considered,
and no system can be adopted in this coun-
try that deos not recognize the fact that
the continuous existence Of these banks
and the prosperity of their business must
be maintained. OF course we have great
difficulties TO overcome, but we cannot
overlook the conditions 1 have named, and
it is no purpose OF the commission or Of
any member Of It to ignore It.
IF we lave any credit organization al
all we propose that II shall be an organiza-
ton which shall be the servant and mo-
tho master Of existing banks. I eonced'
freely that any institution or organizatio
which we may adopt must be one that otr
be fitted into the existing system, and an!
changes that are at all radical In theil

ACTION OF VOLCANO.
Eruption on Stromboli Island Races
Many Buildings.

Rome, Jan. 5.-A violent earth shock
running north-southwest and east
northeast, lasting three seconds, and
during which the Stromboli volcano
began eruption, occurred on Stromboli
island Sunday night. The phenomena
was accompanied by prolonged dull
rumblings The houses on the island
were badly damaged and the populace
fed to the streets in panic, but no one
was hurt.
There was also a strong earthquake
at dawn at Callagirone, in the south
eastern part of Sicily. Many houses
collapsed, including q school and
church, burying the sexton and his
son. The inhabitants, numbering 3d.
600, refuse to re-enter their houses and
are camping in the open country.
Other shocks we're felt at Fano and
Pesaro, also in the Messina and Reg
gio area, awakening fresh alarm
among the survivors. Two slight
shocks were felt at Palmi, where sew
eral buildings collapsed. 1t also is re-
ported that new shocks precipitated
all that remained of Pellaro into the
sea. This latter is not believed here.
