in a frame building on Second street

Strain. In short time additional
space became necessary and Mr.. Strain
opened a dry goods department in the
Dunn block. After this expansion he
was joined by w. J. Strain, with whom

now stands Continued growth OF the
business made it necessary to seek stu
larger quarters and four years later
the stock was moved across Thirc
sn.eet to the old Steele building, where
the business remained for exactly u
years.
Early in 1914 it became evident that
the business had again outgroWn Its
quarters and the site OF the store

Husband Stingy, Forced
To Leave Baby, She Says
Asserts He Allowed Her Fifteen
Cents Day for Herself
and Infant

Mrs. Lena Ferrante, nineteen years
old, of SO Graham Avenue, Long Island
City, after pleading guilty yesterday
in Snecial Sessions Court, Jamaica, to
abandonment CT her baby, told the
magistrate she had been driven to the
act by the penuriousness of her hus-
band, John Ferrante. The young wo-
man said while Ferrante earns $50
week he allowed her and the infant
but Is cents day for food and she
had been compelled to beg sustenance
from neighbors.
Mrs. Terrante said she kissed the
baby goodby on the morning of June
10 and left home with the intention Of
killing herself. Her courage being un-
equal to this she wandered from place
to place, sleeping In outhouses until
discovered by Ferrante on the night Of
July II, sleeping in a shack On the
Harlem River waterfront. She was
placed under arrest and has since been
in Jail.
Ferrante denied his wife's charge of
penuriousness. He declared he had
provided literally for his family, but
that Mrs. Ferrantc had three times de-
serted her home, cnce shortly after her
marriage six years ago, when she was
thirteen years old, and twice within
the last year. The young woman was
ordered held under detention by the
police matron pending investigation.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 25.-Dis-
covery by California home brewers

increase in the price of figs on the
market here.
Corn sugar, the base for much Of
the fig nectar, is going up also, to-day's
quotation for 100 pounds being twenty
five cents over that OF yesterday.
Choice figs that sold st seven cents

article sells at eleven and one-haif
cents, as against five cents last year.

stantial decrease in the price of wines
and gin and slight one in that Of
whisky at British Columbia provincial
liquor stores is to be effective August
1s, the Attorney General announced to-
day. Most brands OF Scotch whisky
are to fall twenty-five cents, while
Gordon dry gin viii drop to $3.50 a
bottle from S425.
A local newspaper is advocating
serving of beer and light wines in the
provincial stores in order to reduce
consumption of stronger drinks. In
the sale Of malt liquors the govern
ment is understood to find difficulty
in the competition Of bootleggers, who
buy direct from manufacturers.
