great reputation aud extensive sale by
its remarkable cures Of colds and grip
and can be relied upon with implicit
confidence. For sale by all druggists.

take to interest the commercial bo-
dies Of those cities in tho inter-
coastal project.

Both at II As P. NJ, and arrive at
st. Louis on the morning of Dec.
End; leave st. Louis night of Dec.
End, and reach Louisville on NOR
ming of 3rd, and Cincinnati on the
evening Of the Same day. leaving
Cincinnati that night and arriving
at PittsburR on the 4th and reach
ing Washington on tho 5th.
1t is the desire of tho league to
take as largo delegation as pos
sible and to that end you are cor
daily invited to mako the trip to
Washington in this way. The ex-
psnses of such. trip will be but lit
tie, if any. in excess of the direct

The intercoastal project needs
your support. The Interstate In

to work for the improvement OF
all our coast waterways and We in-

MCFARLAND SAYS
WOLGAST CAN'T HIT
Pacxey Declares Champion is
Afraid to Meet Him

ST don't think Wolgast is a hard
puncher. His bout with Hogan last
night proved that. Had he had the
dreamland wallop he would have
knocked out Hogan when he had him
on the ropes with his hands down.
Place Knockout Brown in Wolgast's
position, with Hogan helpless On the
ropes, and I am certain he would have
ended the bout decisiviely."
In that fashion Packey Mcfarland,
conceded to be the greatest lightweight
boxer in the world commented on the
Wolgast-Hogan fight Wednesday night.
Packey admitted he did not see the
fracas. He says he does not care to
witness boxing bouts in which he is
not directly interested or in which his
personal friends are not contestants
'sWhy is Wolgast afraid to meet me
in the ring?' Packey asked. ST have
been willing to meet hdm at 1873 pounds
at o'clock p. m, the day of the bout
for the last six months. But he has
always sidestepped the challenge by
saying he wants the weight to be at
ringside.
ST am not crazy to be the champion
Of my class nor to hold the title but
I would like to meet Wolgast. T am
willing to peg along the way have
been going. I am willing to leave the
question Of who is the better man to
the public. If he does not answer my
proposition in a few weeks I'll con-
slider that he is afraid to meet me and
will brand him as a coward

.HOLYOKE PAPERS
PRAISE SMALLING

Big Mike Smalling has made a. hit
with the Holyoko fans. Since being
shifted to second base with the Mud
singers he has fielded his position in
sensational style, and is also playing
nifty game at the bat. The Hol-
yoke Telegram in commenting on the
support given Pitcher Curtin in the
game with Waterbury. says:
"Of course the infield stood bravely
behind him in the whole game. Some
chap whose visiting cards read Mr..
Michael Smalling, always manages to
get in the way of a batted ball. In
the fourth inning Jack Hoey tried to
start something but the smoke from
his bat was nailed with one hand near
first by said Mr.. Smalling, who retired
MT. Hoey. In the sixth OHara start
ed a drive for right field, but Giant
Smalling reached UP in the heavens
with his gloved hand and shared the
sphere
Smalling broke into the error column
yesterday, his first misplay in six
games. At that he worked in sue
cessfully four put outs and three as
sists. The error did not help in any
Of the scoring. Yesterday Mike failed
to get hit in four promenades to the
plate.

fair, in progress at Eagles hall, under
the auspices of the United Irish So
cieties of Bridgeport, last night and

tendances continue to- grow IN size.
Various articles are disposed of every
evening while Monday and Tuesday
nights of next week, when the carni-
val will close, will see the drawings
upon the several hundred prizes to be
awarded to the fortunate.
There are special features of inter-
est every evening aside from the fair
itself. This evening the entertainment
will include solos by John Calvin, ten
or and Miss Catherine Sullivan, So
prano. Tomorrow evening a special
program will be provided Of unusual
merit The carnival will be a big
success but the members Of the five
societies interested want to obtain SUI
ficient funds to provide a satisfactory
nucleus for the building fund.
After tonight there will be but three
more evenings to attend the carnival,
which closes on Tuesday night. Mem

fair. Everything is now ready for the
comfort and pleasure of all who at

The Outlet Proposition.
Are you aware that about 35 to 40
per cent of the price you are paying
for your clothes, goes to the pockets
of some one who does nothing but in
vest a paltry few dollars in some
fancy store fixtures, few dollars
more in fancy display pictures and
a clever ad in the newspaper and sits
down at his cash drawer and begins
to take in You come to his store
he smiles his sweetest, pets you on
the back, calls you by your first name,
shows you a suit, swears by a stack
Of bibles '.it is the best value on
EARTH You give up $40 for something
that stands him just $3.50 (if he pays
for IT'D the rest is his Legitimate pro-
fit The real maker of that suit, over
in New York, invests his own (and
his borrowed fortune, contends with
the greatest hardships, wear out his
nerves worrying and fighting compe-
tition, comes to your local merchant
and sells him his product on months
time, takes his chances on getting his
money and all he makes is 10 per cent
if he gets paid Here we have a man,
1.-The middlenIan'' who does the least,
and gets the most. Is that fair, Mr..
American citizen of the goth century
Is it fair to you, the consumer? Is it
fair to us, the producers? We are
tired of this state of affairs, we want
to deal with you direct. You at least
will pay us the cash. You come to
our retail outlet get your clothes at
the same price that this middleman
buys at You will save his enormous
profit We will please you, and you
will appreciate it more than he does.
We made good our promise in our
other branches, we will make good
here.
