A horde of peo- pie rushes past in the gloomy shadow cast by great walls of granite, grooming under tons of bastard ornament. This must be one of the principal thorough fares, and I ask my neighbor where we are.
 Mon capisco Signore," is his polite re- ply. I bow my thanks and turn to my left.
 Could you tell me what street this is?"
 "Bitte, ich bin nur Heute hier ange- kommen''
 He smiles and makes s>rne primitive signs with his hands and arms. I reply by motions more involved occasionally moving my scalp. We are making little headway. when I spy a likely fellow sit ting beside my new acquaintance. With suppressed agitation I put my question to him.
 Pardon, vat for you demande?"
 He Is anxious to help me. I repeat slowly. "The name of the street we are on."
 "Tlens! for sure wee go on" he relies, reassuringly; ''mais lentement. Allezl Nom de Dieu, on va plus vite chez nous!"

BUY CoMPANY's INTEREST.
J. P. Verhine Now Owns the Morgan
Mercantile interests.

Last week, just before leaving for the
markets to buy dry goods and mercan-
tile, supplies for the coming seasons, j.
2. WShine acquired by purchase the
Morgan mercantile interests in the en-
tire stock of dry goods, clothing, fur
nishings, hats, shoes, notions, carpets,
ETC., conducted under the name of the
Morgan-Verhine Company Under the
new ownership, however, the name and
style of The company will be retained
and the business will be continued as
heretofore without interruption or Wis
ible change of any kind.
Some years ago, not more than six or
seven, J, P Verhine bought an interest
with the late Jas. r. Morgan and the
Morgan-Verhine Company was formed,
including other company interests. Mr..
Morgan, who was a successful mer-
chant was necessarily absent on ac-
count of i'll health, and it depended up
on Mr.. Verhine to direct the fortunes
of the enterprise. How well he has
succeeded the latest investment shows.
Formerly the stocks were divided into
three separate buildings. Mr.. Verhine
soon discovered that the system then in
use was inconvenient, inexpedient and
far more expensive than the same
amount of business should be handled
He therefore disposed of one of the
buildings and consolidated the other
two into one large salesroom, with de-
partments as heretofore, but within
easy reach or view from any part of the
house, and therefore subject to better
system and management. The stock
was displayed to better advantage with
plate glass cases and cabinets
and everything SO arranged as to make
the house more attractive as a shopping
center.
The result has been that the company
has enjoyed very large and profitable
business, eliminating in the sale last
week to the president and manager,
Mr.. Verhine.

Scaffold Outside of Wall.

Work has been started on the foun-
dation of the brick structure which will
enclose the scaffold to be erected at the
State penitentiary, and the gallows
house will be outside the prison and
built against the north wall, the struc-
ture being the same height as the wall.
The order for the erection of the build
ing has been given to Warden Mart
Rice and work has started on the foun-
dation, convict labor being employed
and everything that will enter into the
construction of the building will be pro-
duced in the penitentiary except the
steel which will form the gallows.
The scaffold will be erected in time
for the first executions, which will be
September 2, unless further respite i
granted. Probably only two of the
three prisoners sentenced to hang on
that date will face the executioner, as
Judge Meeks has granted the petition
of attorneys for Cecil Palmer, colored,
for a writ of habeas corpus and the date
for hearing will be announced later, the
attorneys contending that as Palmer
was convicted under another law, the
sentence should be enforced under that
law and not under one passed after
wards Virgil Lee and William Mitchell
are the other two prisoners that have
been sentenced to hang on September 3,
and as provided under the new law ex-
ecution will be private.
