CAUSES Good TRADE.
JOBBING TRADING LACKS SNAP,
BECAUSE MERCHANTS BUY FOR.
PRESENT NEEDS ONLY.

New York April Is 5.-Bradstrcets
today said:
Requirements incident to Easter
week have caused some expansion in
retail trade, but the turnover has
been below expectations. Jobbng trade
lacks snap because merchants every
where are inclined TO buy for present
needs only. In some special lines, re-
duced prices have attracted trade,
but II Is evident that declining prices
tend to encourage buyers, to wait for
further bargains
Sentiment ns regards the future IL
very favorable, but merchants I'm gen
eral appear to be reconciled to the
view that the near future portends
little improvement in trade or indus
try.
The tiles In general continue dull.
Collections are backward, and in sec
tions Of the Northwest where crop
failures occurred last year credits are
being closely scrutlnized; in fact, re
quests for extensions are numerous.

THE LATE Texas

of Mishgps.

The late" Texas battloship had q
fitting end for the unlucNest ship in
the American Navy! For, although
she gained glory at the Battle OF
Santiago she was so unfortunate in
time Of peace as TO earn the title of
"The Hoodoo."
For the last four or five years the
Texas has been little more than a
floating barracks for enlisted naval
men, stationed most of the time at
Charleston, $. G, She has not been
considered good enough for station
ship. In fact, like more than fifty
other men-of-war that have become
obsolete, she is nothing more than a
pile of junk
The Texas was constructed at the
Norfolk navy yard, the first and only
battle ship ever built there. Work on
her was so slow that although the
keel was laid down in January, 1889,
she was not launched until June 1892,
and by that time the plans had been
altered so much that she was prac-
tically of American design. From
the start she showed up badly, with
such series of mishaps that she be-
came known as the greatest land go-
ing battleship in the world. Not only
did she sink twice, once right in her
dock at the Brooklyn navy yard, but
she used to try the patience of the
authorities at Washington by violat-
ing the navy regulations and run
ming ashore four or five times a
year. Her weakness for exploring
shoals and mud flats made 1t appear
as if she should have been trans
ferred to the coast and geodetic sur
vey.
However, the Texas redeemed her
self before Santiago. She was really
out Of date then, but her nose was
showed in the fight and she acquitted
herself But so many accidents
kept recurring that the title Of
The Hoodoo Of the Navy" stll clung
to her.
The Ill luck began while she was
being built. A dozen men were IA
tally injured while she was in con
stIuCllou anu Two men were plunged
to death from her deck Her en-
gines were scorched I'm a fire at the
Richmond Iron Works and her pro-
peller was broken on the first trip
to the yard. In her dock trial she
swamped a lumber schooner with
the wash of her screw Heeled over
by the wind and the unequal weight
Of a partially set up turret, she
nearly sank in her dock at Norfolk
before she was completed. She was
put in dry dock and II was found
that she was not strong enough to
bear her own weight.
Then the ship proved poor
steamer, and burned great quantities
of coal November 8, 1896, while she
was lying at the Cob Dock at the
Brooklyn Navy Yard one of her sea
cocks became unlastened and she
sank. Had the accident occurred at
sea the ship would have been lost
On every one Of her trial trips some
thing happened in the nature Of
breakdown in some port OF her ma

and clutch; because the control

naturally reach for them; because
OF a big steering wheel and good
steering connections. 1t is no trick
to learn to drive a Chalmers. We
guarantee to teach every buyer
without additional expense how to
drive and care for his car.
This car has a 1l5 inch wheel
base. The body is swung we'll be-
tween the aXles. The seats are tilt
ed and have good springs in them.
The upholstery is luxurious. The
rear springs are long, three-quarter
elliptic and Of the finest steel for
the purpose. The majority of auto
mobile engineers have voted this
type Of spring the best.
Without fear Of contradiction,
we say there is no car in the world
which is more comfortable under
all conditions than the Chalmers
"30.o Yet the price Of this car is
only $1,000 including Bosch Mag
neto, gas lamps, Prcst-o-litc tank.
Weight is another standard.
The Chalmers "30" motor is
lighter per horse power than any
other motor. The complete car is
from 200 to 600 pounds lighter than
anv connecting car Of the same size
and roomjness. The $50" has all
the weight that comfort and eff
cheney demand yet no useless
weight to consume gasoline and
Wear out tires.
The Factors of Safety are a
standard which YOU should have in
mind at all times. The four main
factors of safety in anv motor car
are Frame. Wheels, Brakes, Steer
inc Connections.
The Chalmers "30" has the heav-
lest. strongest frame in proportion
to total wcioht Of any car in its
class. Relatively this frame is as
strong nc in any car at any price.

How to Be Sure of a Good
Motor Car Bargain

Getting a good bargain when you
buy an automobile Is not just a
question Of price. 1t is question
Of features-of what is in the car
the design, materials and work
manship.
If it is possible to get more for
your money in one car than in an
other, you want to know it. Ability
to pick out car that will give you
the most for your money, depends
upon knowing the important points
ON which to judge and then com
pairing cars on the basis of these
points. 1t Is a question of having
the right standards.
A diamond expert will select the
one most perfect stone from
handful Of diamonds.
The horseman, looking over
string Of thoroughbreds, will pick
out the one or two best horses of
the lot.
They are able to do this because
they know the standards by which
to judge diamond and horse.
The same is true of motor cars.
We ask you to compare Chalmers
cars carefully with others. We
give here a few standards which
may help a You to- get an unusual
dollars worth of value for every
dollar you put into your motor car.
Simplicity Of design is one good
standard. The Chalmers $50" has
cylinders cast en- bloc. Motor,
clutch and Transmission cast in a
unit. Working parts thoroughly
protected from dust and yet easily
accessible. The Chalmers go" was
the first American car to have all of
these features. There is no other
car with these features which is so
thoroughly tried and proved as the
Chalmers. Many cars that looked
all right III design failed in use.
Whatever you do, buy a proved car.
Good looks is another standard.
The Chalmers $50" has good looks.
1t has beautiful lines and it has fine
finish. Those who are most COM
petent to Judge say there is no
more beautiful car at any price.
AS for finish, you positively can
not find a car to equal the Chal-
mers $50" except at nearly double
the price. For attention to details,
compare this car with those costing
twice and three times as much.
Only in that way can YOU appreci-
ate how all Of the "little things
that seem so big when neglected.
have been provided in the Chalmers
$50"
Ease of control and comfort for
both driver and passengers is one
Of the hest standards. The Chal-
mers $50" is easy to control be-
cause it has one pedal for brake
