OPENING
Saturday
A Mans Day at Hartley's

WYE HAVE REASON TO THINK that Hartley service for
wv men is as excellent service for women and we re
very proud of our New Mans Store.
Rt the two branches are more or less separate The Store
for Men in place apart on the main floor with its own en-
trance from Main street You may in and buy clothing
shoes hats etc. without seeing anything of the rest OF the
WV Saturday the STORE FOR MEN will have lis special
offerings and its cordial welcome for all men But we hope
that men will also find in the holiday an opportunity to visit
the other parts of the Store perhaps together with some OF
the feminine members Of the family.
It is to be a MANS DAY at Hartleys,
Every part of the Store will have something Of interest to
show and we believe that man can spend little while in
walking about here without feeling OF satisfaction in the
extent and the character of this Famont institution and with
out recognition of the SPIRIT OF SERVICE GIVING that

New York. March s.-Back of the
fight which Eric II. Dahlgren is pre-
pairing to make in the higher courts to
the decree of divorce which Mrs. Dahl
gren obtained here last Friday is an
ambition he has cherished for several
years of becoming a diplomatic repre-
sentative of the United States In Eu-
rope. This statement was made to-day
by close friends of Mr.. Dahlgren.
AS divorced man, it is said, the
chances are all against his being ap-
pointed TO any prominent berth. In
fact. the divorce might operate to keep
him out of the diplomatic corps alto
gether.
Mr.. Dahlgren. whose father was a
noted admiral of the United States
Navy is Democrat, although he has
never been very active in uttering his
political beliefs. But TO many OF his
closest friends In this city and Wash
ington during the past year he has
spoken of little except his desire to be
appointed to an European diploma tic
tation.
Mr.. Dahlgren Is now In washingto ton.

MEDAL CONFERRED ON
PAY-DIRECTOR GAIT
Honored by Navy Department
for Extraordinary Services
on April %, 1898.

Washington, March S.-Pay Director
william Wilson Gait. of Norfolk, re-
Gently received marked distinction
from tho Navy Department in the
shape OF medal conferred on account
of extraordinary services performed on
April 2s, 1898, two days before the
famous battle OF Manila Bay. in which
he participated as a combatant. In
addition to this medal. Pay Director
Gait is the only active officer on the
star OF the United States Navy who
has been advanced in rank for con-
spicuous gallantry in line OF duty.
The incident for which the medal
was conferred occurred when Pay Di-
rector Gait was paymaster at
tached to the United States steamship
Raleigh. which was part OF Commo-
dore tnow admiraD Dewey's Asiatic
squadron. When the squadron left
Hong Kong for Mrs Bay. twenty or
twenty-five miles distant, on April 20.
the Raleigh was Obliged to proceed
with only one engine. her main cir
culatinS pump being on shore under
going repairs. She was decidedly q
lame duck" and the advisability OF
carrying her to Manila III that condi :
ton was seriously debated.
The next day, April &c, Paynaster
Gait was sent i'll a tiny launch to Hong
Kong to get the circulating pump. BY
the time he had the pump ready to take
ii back to the ship, a heavy northea st
gale had arisen and the little launch
was in desperate danger of being
swamped. In spite OF the protests of
the crew of the launch, who were
alarmed by the deluging seas, Pay
master Gait insisted on proceeding
with the passage, through a gale so
violent that the Fame" a tug many
times larger than his own fraiI craft,
was forced 10 put back to shelter, al
though trying to bring from Hong
Kong United States consul to ac-
company the squadron to Manila.
AS result of the determination and
intrepidity of Paymaster Gait, the Raj
eigh's pump was delivered to her and
placed III position, and the ship was
able to proceed with the rest of the
squadron. This conduct on the part
OF the paymaster called forth the
warmest commentator from Captain
Coghlan, then in command Besides
receiving the praise of his superior Of
hcers, Paymaster Gait was advanced
one number in grade for "extraordtnarv
heroism."
An act Of March 3, 1901, authorizes
the awarding of specially meritorious"
medals for service other than in battle.
The medal received recently by Pay
master Calf under the terms Of this
act is inscribed as follows:

First Serious CInsl,

Mexico City, March S.-The first Sc
rious clash between Mexican Federals
and Carranzistas is reported to-day to
have occurred at Reata, Coahuila,
about midway between Monterey and
Monclova. The engagement lasted
four hours, the rebels Offering stub
born resistance
The losses. as reported from govern
ment sources, included twenty-si Fed
erals killed and eleven wounded, and
thirty three rebels Killed. The rebel
forces have fallen back OH Bajan,
thirty miles to the north.
Another engagement is looked for
soor, as the Federals are advancing
and endeavoring to follow up their ad :
vantage. Only the most meagre de-
tails of the battle have been received.
Another column of Federais is adj
/ yancing from the west. having marched
from Rfncon. on the Northern Mexico
Railroad. These troops came to Rim
con by train from Escalon. chihuahua
TO prevent clashes between rebels
and the American troops, the Mexican
War Department proposes to send
5000 Federals to occupy the border
towns in Sonora. To this end 1t is
probable that the government will ask
the administration at Washington to
permit the passage OF troops through
American territory
plan is a-foot to reorganixe the
army, increasing it's strength to 100. 900
men, and il also is proposed to place
In France an order for $50 cannon.

lean Federal soldiers were killed In the
first battle of the Sonora rebellion at
Nncozari, below here, to-day, and one

ger OF the Moctezuma Copper Com
pany, was shot in the leg. 1t is be-

erably.
The battle began at $50 this morn
ing and was still in progress at 3:45
this afternoon. when all communication
with Nacozari was interrupted. The
fight was precipitated when a force
of 500 rebels. under Colonel Braca-
monte, was marching to reinforce the
rebel command. which is encamped on
the outskirts Of Aqua Prieta, encoun-
tered part of the Federal garrison of

Most of the early fighting was done
at long range, but after the first hour
the rebels began to draw In closer
about the little town.
Refugees from Nacozari have been
flocking over the border here in the
last two days, and 1T is believed that
all women have left the besieged town.
The rebels made no move against
Aqua Prieta to-day, but 1t is reported
an attack is intended some time after
midnight or early Sunday morning.
Aqua Prieta and Douglas are divided
only by ali imaginary line, and much
apprehension is felt here for the safety
