Getting Ready for Business.

Mr. E Carroll Burgess. manager of
the Peoples Mercantile Co. left yes
terday afternoon for the markets of
the North to buy stock of dry goods.
shoes and furnishings for their big
department store on Hampton ave-
nue.. For the past two years little
attention had been given by the
heads of the concern to their dry
goods department. as so much time
was taken up in looking after the
other branches of the company's
business. Mr. Burgess tells us that
he is going to buy a big stock of dry
goods, shoes, furnishings. etc, simi-
lar to that carried by the firm when
its store was located on Academy
street. Within the past week or so
partition and additional shelving
nave been run through the center of
the big storeroom, and hereafter the
grocery department will be pract-
cally cut off from the shoe and dry
goods department.

WONDERFUL BILLIARDS.
fhe Came Frank Ives Played When He
Was Near Death.

Had Frank C. Ives lived he would
without doubt have become the
greatest billiard player the world
ever saw. When Ives got sick he
sold his interest in the room he had
opened in New York, but continued
to make the place his headquarters
until declining health caused him
to start for Mexico, where he died
after reaching Progreso on Aug. 81,
1899.
One evening the late Ferdinand
Poggenburg visited the room and,
finding Ives, said: "Come on,
Frank, and play some billiards with
me. l want II little practice for a
tournament"
"How shall we play?" asked Ives.
Poggenburg replied: 81 want to
play l4-2. Suppose you play 800,
and l will make all l can"
Ives agreed, and, although emaci-
ated by the lung trouble which re-
suited fatally few months later,
the Napoleon" of billiards had the
grit to engage in long game. He
won the bank, counted on the open
ing stroke, and Poggenburg sat
down. There he sat until the game
was finished. Poggenburg did not
get a shot.
Playing with the care and per-
lection which characterized his per-
formances when a we'll man, Ives
retained control OF the balls until
he had scored 600. Then he almost
collapsed. As he withdrew from
the table he remarked: "1f / had
had another point to make would
not have been able to make it. l
was able to make the run because
my mind was on 600 points"
Poggenburg declared he enjoyed
the entertainment more than if he
had q chance to play and pronoune-
ed the exhibition the most wonder
full he had ever seen.-E1change.
