expelling the hot air, thereby giving the best of ventilation.
 In the center of the store there IS
 magnificent1y appointed hosiery de- pertinent, finely appointed show eases and electric lighting showing off the stock to the best advantage. Further more the stock is such as will satisfy the most discriminating buyer and is warranted to be of the best and ex- actly as represented. The motto of the store has been to give the best of service, every. convenience and value received for all money paid.
 Upon purchasing shoes, hosiery or other necessities handled by the store, the articles and money is placed in a pneumatic carrier. The articles pur- chased are wrapped securely and at- tractively while the change is being made at the cashiers desk.
 : Onesftem appealing to- the ordinary buyer is concerning the store stock system. It is believed to be a model for shoe stores. Every pair of shoes, rubbers, or the like, handled in the entire store has a tag attached which tells the year and date that the arti- Gle was received, stock number, size and the cost, as well as selling price. Salesmen are not required to make out a salescheck, the tag filling ail requirements necessary and avoiding the possibility of error.
 ' When the renovated store was plan ned, the requirement madetby ME. Samuels of the concern responsible was that it be the most up-to-dats shoe store in New England. He be- lieves that this has been accom- pIish- ed and that Bridgeport is a model for the other Samuels, stores in Springfield. Hartford and other cities.

MARTIAL LAW IS DECLARED TO END
 AFRICAN STRIKE

Cape Town, Union Of South Africa, Jan. 1-The proclamation of martial law throughout the Union of South Africa in response to the declaration of general strike by the federation of trades is regarded as making the issue. clear one between the state and syndicatism the system of orr ganized sympathetic strikes.
 The origin of the dispute between the railroad employees protesting against the policy of retrenchment i'm troduced by their employers has been lost sight of in the great sympathetic labor war which has brought the trade and commerce of the colony virtually to standstill.
 The drastic character of the regu- Ilations which come into effect with the proclamation of martial law creat- ed great surprise.
 U From. last evening the employment Of such epfthets as '.scab's. and s'black- leg'' was prohibited under penalty Of punishment, while any attempt to int timidate persons willing to work was forbidden. 4
 Newspapers were debarred from publishing false or alarming reports calculated to promote ill-wiu between the disputents.
 The strike region was divided into nine areas, each controlled by an ofn- Ger with complete power, in time of war.

" eseerday afternoon there were three fires in town and although only Of grass they threatened to be more serious than at first thought The fires were on the land between the rail- road tracks and Lundy's lane, at the foot of Warwick avenue. and at Washington bridge All three places are in naclose proximity to the railroad track and it Is possible that they were started by sparks flying from a pass ing train. 2.ss-
 The fierce wind which blew at that time threatened to carry sparks to. nearby houses which made the fires rather dangerous. At Lundy's lane, the wind blew directly Tn the direc- ton of the barn owned by Lewis BeardsIey and it was necessary to keep 3, close watch the flames. At Warwick avenue there are several houses in the vicinity of the fire which would have caught fire very quickly At Washington bridge the danger was not as greaf. , Had any houses caught fire, the fire department would have probably had a hard job to put them out with the severe wind blowing As it was, they were very fortunate in getting controI of them. well as they did.
