Arouse Yourself
to the Imperitiveness of
Immediate Action

Some people, perhaps wisely, have bided
their time for the last days-their expecta-
tons will be realized. Big surprises. We
want you to be as enthusiastic as we are
about these tremendous reductions.
We have trampled down and destroyed
every price beyond possible recognition, as
we have banished from our thoughts every
consideration of cost loss or value.
Don't let inclement weather, snow or rain
deter you from coming here tomorrow or
Saturday.

RETAINING THE PHILIPPINES.

If is nointed out, as q sign OF the

States practically behind them. anc
the interest is fair, and yet they keel
ON going down every year.
This fact is regarded as indicating
that the people are not In favor OF re
tanning the Philippines. 1t Is not tal
any lack OF faith in the security O.
the bonds, but because the people arr
getting tired OF those far-away pos

no other reason, for these bonds arr
quite as desirable as similar bond
that are going up all the time.

LIGHT ON TIPPING.

A divorce case just tried in New

The suit was brought by the vile o.
French waiter. She testified thai
he received, besides his salary, from
$40 to $50 a week in tips. And he
worked in comparatively obscure
restaurant where the prices are not
considered high. His annual income
as is seen, was between $4,000 and s.,
ono a year-more than the average
lawyer or doctor is able to earn, In
the higher.prlced eating and, drinking
places in New York, the income Of
some Of the walters must at least dol

The tipping evil is more rampant on
Manhattan than in any other Amer
can city, but 1t prevails nevertheless
in every town IN the country. the
larger the city the more difficult 1t lF
to obtain satisfactory service IN the
more pretentious restaurants and no

feel assured that they will be reward

many cases their weekly pay is rega

sale of MouougaIla County Coal.

A sale was recently made of $50

Roads, Battelle district, Monongalia
county, by A. L. Lehman and Homer
]. Price, OF Falrmont, to Klnsey John,
OF Newark, Ohio, formerly OF Greene
county, Pa, and others. The deed for
the same was delivered yesterday.
The price paid was S2G.4OO.OO. This
tract of coal was purchased by Messrs.
Lehman and Price from Unlontown
parties about n year ago The sell
ing price was much in advance of the
amount paid for the coal, which goes
to show that Pittsburg coal in Monon'
gala county is rapidly enhancing in
value.
