KNOWING
WHERE. - ,
Of all the numerous arti-
cles for household uses and
wearing purposes which a
woman is called upon to buy
from time to time, it is not
to be wondered at if she once
in awhile forgets the price
she paid.
But she never forgets
WHERE she bplught them.
Ask her w ere she bought.
her table linen, dinner set,
lace curtains, carpet, cape,
suit, dress goods, gloves or
anything that is particularly
handsome, or that has worn
remarkably well, and she’ll
tell without a moment’s hesi-
tation just where she bought
it. Nine times out of ten
she’ll tell you what she paid
us for it.
It’s no use to try and
juggle a woman’s memory on
the best place to trade. Can’t
be done. * * *
Fine percale and dimity
Shirt Waists, that have been
selling all the season from $1.
to $2. each, are now only 75
cents; all sizes from 32 to 42,
and the prettiest in town.
It’s not so mpch the low
price we are proud of as it is
the quality—quality tells in
the long run. * * if“
.- There’s just a small lot of
Fancy Taffeta -: Silks, say
twenty-five styles, that the
price has dropped to 59 cents
the 'yard. Won’t last long,
you think, at that . price.
' That’s about as we calculate.
Another lot, don’t know
exactly how many, of higher
grade goods that aregnow 7 5
cents. -Everybody thought
they. were handsome, and
reasonable, when they sold at
$1. Everybody means a
goodly number.
The assortment of Wash
Silks is not entirely broken.
Some of the prettiest are still
here at 25 c. a yd. Quarters
doing the work of half-
dollars.
But don’t let all the other
good things make you forget
those colored Faille Francaise

N ew York Police Commissioners In a
f 20w Over Captain Eakins.
._‘_.-.—__
GRANT STARTS THE RUMPUS
‘I
He Declares the Captain’s. Trial a. Crime,
to Which Fling the Other Commission-
ers Reply In a Statement to the Pub-
lic—Colonel Grant’s Rejoinder.
NEW YORK, Aug. 5.—There is very
good reason to suspect that henceforth
the reform board of police commissioners
will not operate on the basis of harmony.
It has been known for some time that
Colonel Fred Grant has been more or less
displeased over his treatment by Commis-
sioners Roosevelt and Parker. Colonel
Grant has not'been consulted in many im-
portant matters until after action had been
taken by the president of the board, and
as a consequence he felt slighted. and
made no attempt to conceal his displeas-
urc.
The dramatic episode at police head<
quarters, wherein Colonel Grant declared
the trial of Captain Eakins to be a crime
-will complete, it is believed,~the rupture
between himself and the other members
of the board.
When asked why he considered the
trial a crime, Colonel Grant said:
“Captain Eakins was tried simply for
public opinion. The charges. against him
are frivolous and should neVer have been
brought. He should have been made an
inspector for his eficctive administration
instead of having his position jeopardized
by a complaining, ambitious society.
“I am glad that the Parkhurst society
or anybody else should help us suppress
crime, but I do not think it within their
province or part of their duty to harass a
policeman because he fails to perform the
high standard of duty they think he ought.
Thinks the Trial a. Crime.
“I think the trial a. crime because I do
not believe the charges sufficient. They
should never have been brought. I do not
believe him guilty, and I shall vote for
the dismissal of the complaint whatever
stand my colleagues take in the matter.
“ Suppose, ” continued the colonel, “that
you had worked for 29 years—the best
part of your life—and were brought up
on some tr1vial complaint necessitating
the expenditure of one—third of your life
savings to defend yourself. Wouldn’t you
consider that a crime?
“I do, ” said the colonel, shaking his
head and pounding the desk with his fist.
“It is an outrage and never should have
been.
“I never knew a thing about Captain
Eakins’ trouble until his application for
retirement came up for action by the
board. He came to my office that after-
noon, and I promised to help the applica-
tion through. In the meeting I heard for
the first time of the charges against him,
and of course could not-vote for his retire-
ment. ”
Although Colonel Grant refused to say
it in so many words, he intimated that he
considered himself as having been ignored
in the matter of the charges, and that he
then and there determined to act inde-
pendently in the matter regardless of the
powers and persuasions of his colleagues.
The following statement was given out
by Commissioners Parker, Roosevelt and
Andrews:
Grant Criticised.
“We regret deeply the necessity of mak-
ing public the circumstances attending
any difference of opinion among us as
commissioners, but as Commissioner
Grunt, one of the judges of Captain J0-
seph B. Eakins, now on trial, has seen
fit, while so sitting as judge and during
the pendency of the hearing, publicly to
announce his opinion of the inquiry and
without hearing the evidence to declare
beforehand his verdict and inferentially to
designate his' colleagues as criminals we
consider it our duty to make public the
following facts: '
“The statement and action of Commis-
sioner Grant occasioned the greater sur-
prise to us because he had never hereto-
fore made to any one of us the slightest
intimation that he considered it criminal
to try the charges against Captain Eakins
and that such charges were frivolous. On
the contrary, the following has been his
course with regard to this matter:
“Charges of gross neglience and incom-
petency against Captain Eakins were
made early in May last and presented to
the board by Frank Moss, Esq. They are
considered by the whole board (Commis-
sioner Grant ,included), and all (Commie
sioner Grant included) were decidedly oi
the opinion'that'he should be" put to trial
upon them. The official charge, having
been drawn, was referred to Commission-
er Grant as chairman of the committee of
rules and discipline. It is the peculiar
function of that chairman to pass upon
the question whether or not a charge sub-
mitted is frivolous. With perfect freedom
of action given him on that point he do-
cided that these charges were not frivolous,
and approved ‘ them. They hear his in-
dorsement in writing: ‘Approved. May
28. Frederick D. Grant, chairman.’
Didn’t Want the Testimony.
“0n the day when Captain Eakins’
application was denied he came before
the full board (Commissioner Grant in-
cluded) and was told of the denial of his
application, and that he would be tried
upon the charges pending. Commissioner
Grant then told him in the presence of all
of us that he hoped he might prove him-
self to 'be not guilty, but that it was bet-
ter for himself that he should be tried,
and that if not guilty he might clear his
honor. ,
“As the hearing of the charges progress-
ed the approving attitude of Commission-
or Grant, far from being moderated, was,
so far as his utterances to us indicated,
rather emphasized. To Mr. Parker he
stated during the early days of the hear-
ing that Captain Eakins had besought his
consideration on the ground that he (Com-
msisioner Grant) was a. Republican, a
Methodist and a soldier, and to Mr. Roose-.
'_Q A
kids, had madd to hiTn" the Eame'ple‘a upon.
the ground that he was a Methodist and
a. soldier.
“To all three of us, upon three separate
occasions, he said during the progress of
the hearing that he would vote to dismiss
Eakins without reading the testimony, as
it was too voluminous to read. (The tes-
timony as far as‘typewritten to date con-
tains over 3, 692 pages.) To Mr. Parker
he said that he (Commissioner Grant) did
not see how Captain Eakins could get out
of the charge...
“Commissioner Grant has heard not
more than one-tenth of the testimony given
in the case—less than any other commis-
sioner, except perhaps Mr. Roosevelt, who
has given no public expression of opinion
upon the merits ofthe case. '
Ignored His Colleagues.
“On Aug. 2, in the earlier part of the
day, ,he told Commissioner Andrews that
he had been told that Captain Eakins
owned a flathouse worth some $24,000, and.
that he had lately inherited $12, 000, which
represented his worldly possessions.
“Under all of these circumstances Com-
missioner Grant later in the same day,
While sitting as a. judge upon the trial of
Captain Eakins, suddenly and without
the least previous communication with
any of his colleagues by questions put to
Captain Eakins, solicited publicly from
him the facts of which he theretofore had
been fully cognizant, with the additional
facts of the fees Captain Eakins had paid
to lawyers and stenographers, declared
the inquiry which he had approved a crime
and the charges which he had approved
frivolous. ,
“Of his changé of feeling Commissioner
Andrews was apprised first by those utter-
ances; Messrs. Roosevelt- and Parker not
until they learned it from the daily papers.
“ The charges against Captain Eakins
had to be tried. The board would have
been derelict if it had not tried them.
They have been tried as all charges are
tried, and the commissioners are in no-
wise responsible for the expense to which
Captain Eakins has been put. He has
retained an attorney as other captains in
like circumstances have done. He will be
judged upon the evidence, and that alone,
and none of us will declare his decision
until the evidence is complete and has
been fully and carefully considered ”
After the other three commissioners had
handed around their statement Commis-
sioner Grant was seen. He said:
Grant’s Statement.
“I have read the statement made by the
commissioners. I regret very deeply that
they should feel that I intended, to reflect
in any way that the board had committed
any criminal not. As to the statement
that I would vote for Eakins’ dismissal
without reading 'the testimony, I did
make that remark to both Messrs. Roose-
velt and Parker, but it was intended only
as a joke. Mr. Roosevelt laughed very
heartily at the time, and I thought that
ho appreciated that I was speaking light-
ly, and I probably repeated it to Mr. Park-
er because I thought it was witty. It
was a silly statement to make, and I am
sorry that they should have thought me
in earnest. I feel that if any one is to‘
blame in the matter it should be myself.
“As to the statement that Captain Ea~
kins said that he was a Methodist, Repub-
lican and a soldier like myself, I do not
remember ever having heard anything
about his being such, but all three things
are in my estimation to his honor. When
I said his trial was a crime, I spoke as I
felt, but was probably a litlte imprudent.
I had no intention to reflect upon any
member of the board. They are all gen-
tlemen of the highest order.”
CHINA’S LATEST MASSACRE.
Five English Women Killed and One Amer-
ican Woman Seriously Injured.
LONDON, Aug. 5.——The reports of the
massacre of Christians in Kuchcng,
among whom were five foreign women,
are confirmed.
Miss Harlow, an American woman, was
seriously wounded. All the women killed
were English. They were members of
the Church of England, the Zenana and
the American Methodist-Episcopal mis-
sions. According to the dispatch, they
were butchered after having Suffered tor-
rible abuse. Several other foreigners, in-
cluding women and children, were hurt
seriously. ‘ ‘
The dispatch declares that the Chinese
officials connived at if they did not in-
stigate the attack on the Christians. The
revival of outrages is attributed to the
apathy of the British and American min-
isters, despite the increasing antiforeign
feeling that is displayed.
Foreigners in Shanghai regard the com-
mission sent to inquire into the recent
riots at Chengtu as a farce. Many offi-
cials who were charged with complicity
in these riots are getting promotions.

body of Miss Emma H. Buell, aged 29
years, the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
