At a meeting of the N orwalk \Vheel
club, held last evening, the following
otlicers were elected: E. B. Baker,
President; \Villiam 'Wardell, vice~pres-
ident: Harry Evans, secretary: H. B.
Hoyt. treasurer.
Last night was a stinger, and Jack
Frost had the streets pretty much to
himself. few others venturing out. The
Salvationists held a vigorous meeting,
however, and if the arch rascal who de-
luded grandma Eve some years ago,
ventured into the hall, we opine that
he found the place too hot for comfort.
Frank Becker probably has the only
genuine Angora goat skin robe in the
town, if not in the state. It was pre-
sented to him by a friend who brought
it from South Africa, the native land of
its original owner. It is a fine speci-
men of the cuticle of that kind of gias-
ticutus, vulgarly called a billy goat, and
is covered with long, silky fleece as
white as a ghost.
By special request, the reporter pre-
sents the six longest words in the Eng-

lIydropyridinecarboxylate.

ogy for Cocaine.

The Sheriff has again been heard
from. One of his fellow boarders won
a 2S-pound live turkey at a raffle, and
put it in a coop in the back yard until
he got ready to devour it. Luckily,
however, he saw the Sheriff cast his
evil eye upon the bird, and suspecting
that the wretch designed to gobble the
gobblcr, as he did the Priest’s clothes,
he slipped out at eventide and secreted
the bird in a small out-house under
lock and key. Sure enough, when
darkness shrouded the earth and all
good people were abed, the Sheriff took
a sneak and visited the coop, only to
retire baffled and enraged. This was
repeated two or three days and nights
until the Sheriff, desperate and wild-
eyed with hunger, recklessly rushed
forth in broad daylight and seized the
fowl which was then in the coop. His
rash and fowl action was noticed by
some workmen from the window of a
neighboring factory, who instantly
yelled “stop thief!” Then the Sheriff’s
spunk oozed out, and, dropping the
turkey, he beat a hasty and ignomini-
ous retreat. Soon afterward the owner
of the bird removed it to that bournc
where “the wicked cease from troub-
ling and the weary are at rest,” and
the Sheriff was not asked to the funer-
al, which, no doubt, was Paineful to
his feelings. .

‘ Hon. Daniel Doughcrty says: "That
the man who can adapt himself to cir-
cumstances is the right man in the
right place.” "This is what we are
aiming to do. We have just completed
our Third inventory since starting in
business for ourselves. ' The last covers
a. period of six months. While our
profits have not been as large as we
might wish to have them, yet we feel
very grateful to find our business in a
healthy and growing condition It
was our intention to give the public a
chance during the month of February
to buy Good Desirable Dry Goods at
prices Lower than was ever heard of
before (considering the market value
of goods today); but circumstances
have forced us to do even more. it has
forced us to lay aside for a time all
good principles previously made in re-
gard to selling ends at cost and loss
than cost. Necessity, they say, is the
mother of invention.
[lo Sauro Morning. 3. I
We will continue and sell during the month
all kinds of
A AT COST I
And some goods such as Gloaks, Shawls.
Fur Capes, Woolen Hosiery and
Woolen Underwear Below Cost.
\Ve still believe in the principle we outlined at first, that of selling
every article of a Thoroughly, Reliable Quality at a small” Margin We
would say to the public that we buy goods as low as the lowest. and in
some cases lower. (This is where the experience comes in.) ‘IV e have
never made a statement in print that we did not conscientiously believe to
be a fact. When we say that we are going to sell goods AT COST we
mean the actual cost, and not a fictitious price added on with a view of
deceiving clerks as well as customers. To every rule there are exceptions,
and we make but two out of our whole stock. These are Corsets and Kid
Gloves. The goods named are sold under contract and we cannot break
price on same. Our Stock of Ladies’, Misses’ and Children's Cloaks to-day
contains more in number and is composed of more Choice Styles than is
shown by all other stores combined. It shall be our aim to show during
this month a Complete Line of Black and Colored Silks, Black and Colored
Velvets and Black and Colored Wool and Dress Goods. We have been and
are now receiving our stock of SPRING GOODS, every yard of wh ch will
be offered for sale during this time on the same terms. We sell strictly for
cash with one price to all.
