GRAND OO|NGS' PLANNED
FOR MERCHANTS WEEK
Atlanta Wholesalers and Jobbers Annual En-
tertainment Of Buyers to Break All Records
for Both Pleasure and Business Next Week.

Southern merchants from far and
near will mock to Atlanta next week,
where from Monday until Saturday
inclusive. Atlanta wholesalers and
jobbers will keep open house for
their benefit.
Atlanta is the hub Of the Southern
business. Out of more than 100000
Southern merchants listed by Brad
streets, more than half patronize At
lanta wholesalers and tobbers ex-
clusively. or in large and important
measure.
1t Is to facilitate the buying Of
spring and summer stocks by these
enterprising and home patronizing
merchants that the Atlanta whole
salers and jobbers have arranged for
next weeks big display of their offer
inga
II is, as they say in sporting cir
cles, good business. all around the
table," for the Southern merchants to
come here In a body and do their
larger buying, rather than follow the
oid-fashioned plan Of scattering fire
and depending all but entirely upon
the travelling salesman.
The week will not be exclusively
devoted to business, however. on the
contrary, there will be grand doings"
of q social nature, OF one sort and an
other. many OF them already arranged
for, and others to be framed up" be-
tween now and Monday morning.
Heads OF firms and floor statesmen
generally are ready and waiting for
the rush to begin Monday. Every
thing that active and businesslike
brains could think of has been done
to make the week both profitable and
pleasant, and there will be no lost
motion" anywhere, II the Atlanta
wholesalers and Jobbers can pre-
vent II.
This Is not the first time this big
event has been held in Atlanta. Last
year the meeting was a glorious sue

Spinster Tax Is
Fought in Kansas

TOPEKA, KANS., Jan. 31.-The
State of Kansas puts a tax on wild
ows, spinsters and bachelors, and the
widows and spinsters want it re-
moved. Several efforts heretofore
made to remove this tax have been
blocked because they would also re-
move the tax on bachelors, and this
the State does not want to do.
Under the Constitution the man at
the head of family receives a tax
rebate of 5000 every year. The bach
elor, the spinster and the widow do
not receive this rebate.
A bachelor Is in precisely the same
dilemma as the widow and spinster,
but as soon as he marries he comes
under the exemption.

that is a "rooter" for this years
gathering.
For two or three years before that,
too. the meetings were more than
well worth while
The attendance upon these gather

torily Increasing, year after year. and
this year meeting IL confidently ex-
pected to surpass any of those here

There will be no effort made to
regulate the movements Of the WISH
tors. Each and everyone will come
and go as he pleases, visiting this,
that or the other exhibit entirely at
the visitors pleasure.
The hotels have prepared for a
large attendance of visiting mer-
chants, and nothing will be left I'M
done in that direction that might help
in making the occasion complete
success. Those wholesalers and Job
bers who care to will have, In addi-
ton 10 their regular places Of busi-
ness and exhibits, hotel headquarters

The Forsyth Theater has been Sc
cured for Tuesday night, where an
elaborate program OF amusement has
been arranged for the visiting mer-
chants and a big dinner, which 1t is
thought 1900 will attend, has been
planned for Friday night. at the Az

A SCOOP

If you could get twice as
much for the same grade of
goods as your competitors,
and sell just as many or more
goods than you do now, life
would be a sweet, young
dream, wouldn't it?
You can't very we'll do
this, but here's a chance for
the wide-awake merchant to
work the same magic with
his profits from the other end
of the game.
During merchants week
in Atlanta, beginning Febru-
airy 9th, there'll be many bar
gains on tap in all lines of
merchandise.
Here's ours:
We have hundreds of
cases Of floor goods in lots
too small Tor our statesmen to
carry samples on the road.
Some are in irregular
sizes, large and small. All
are sound goods, and to clean
them. out we're going to sell
them for WHAT THEY
WILL BRING.
Many will go for half
their value.
Here's your chance to
make a killing; you'll find
some styles and sizes that hit
you right.

Letter of Commentator

Offlce OF irish Standard,
st. Paul, MINI.
Dear Mr.. Regain
Some months ago, when l first re-
ceived a copy of the Irish Standard,
wrote you note of encouragement.
At that time I was unable to speak
with confidence concerning the fu-
ture of your venture, as I did not
have before me sufficient facts upon
which to base a judgment. did,
however, prophecy, that there was
an excellent field for journal such
as the Irish Standard. throughout
the west and central west. 1 am
sure that the readers of the Stand
ard will even now concede that my
prophecy has come true.
have read with interest, every is
sue of the Irish Standard since 1
first became subscriber, and 1 am
now in position to say that your pa
per is an ably edited and high class
messenger. upon matters pertaining
to Irish nationality, religion and AM
erican patriotism. 1t is doubtful if
any city or cities in the United
State have manifested so much
zeal to instruct their citizens upon
vital questions affecting the welfare
Of society, government and religion
as have the cities of St. Paul and
Minneapolis during the past seven
months; and you are to be compli-
mented for publishing in the Stand
ard for the benefit of it's readers,
these great addresses of the intellec-
tual giants of the country. If your
paper had contained nothing else
these alone would have more than
compensated for the annual subscrip-
ton fee. But it contained much
more of interesting mater.
If all those who have received the
paper during this period had done as
l have done, preserved these ad-
dresses in scrap book form or other
wise, and will revert to from from
time to time. they will be fully
equipped with logic and facts. to go
out into the. world and dissipate
much of the "thoughtless thinking"
of our generation.
take the liberty of thus writing
you because I think you are en-
titled to a word of encouragement
and commentator.
Hoping that you will succeed in
maintaining the high standard of
your paper, and long live to con-
tinue this good work, remain,
Fraternally yours,
J. L. O'CONNOR.

MANY SURPRISES IN
REALM OF FOOTBALL

Yesterday was a big day IN the
realm of the football enthusiasts.
Every Saturday is a big day. for that
matter. and every Saturday of this
season had proved TO be surprising In
that the teams that the dopester had
planned to win or lose, and lose by
Impossible scores. 1t Is so now that
no one can safely say who even might
win.
For instance, not many expected
Clemson to beat V. M. /. at Broad
street Park yesterday. 1t was true
that Clemson had the heaviest team,
but then the Cadets had fast men and
they were playing nearer home than
the Clemson eleven. Some fans are
prone to believe that when team is
away from home they play better or
just as good as on their home field
but this is not SO. At least so far
as the majority of scores show that
Is not the case.
Another surprise. and which. by the
way. was in keeping with the large
scores this season made by Virginia,
was the defeat by that team Of
Swarthmore by a score Of Al to 0.
Swarplmore is one of the largest coll
leges In Pennsylvania and has team
that ranks very high.

Michigan has been one Of the tough
est propositions that Eastern elevens
have had to face for long time
Harvard managed to defeat them by
pae diminutive score of to 0. Yes
terday Cornell defeated the western
ers, IS to 10. Stories OF the game
show that it was a great game. for
the Ithacans.
1t was a great day for Yale yester-
day. The ELI team celebrated the oc-
cupation OF their new concrete stadium
by defeating Princeton, 10 to IA. be-
fore $4,000 people.
Brown University marvclously held
Harvard's line yesterday and the New
Hayeners could not score. Neither
could the Brownmen.
BY way Of showing that Yale fresh
men are fresher than Harvard fresh
men. the Eli beiligerents won from
their opponents yesterday, IA to 6.
Washington and Jefferson kept up
their winning streak by defeating. by
