CALLING A HALT.
It’s high t.me to call attention to printers’ ink announcements that
everything on earth is cheaper than ever before.
Good Clothing is not
cheaper than ever, there is nobottom now and never was any real value
to a lot of old style, out of date garments, but every sensible man knows
that wool has advanced and so has labor in the past six months, and real
good clothing is in demand and not being slaughtered in price as some
advertisers contend.
, _ We are in direct touch with the manufacturers of woolens and
clothing and the touch must prevail. New cloth is up from ten to fifteen
per cent. and we are pleased to acknowledge wages are higher. How,
then, can clothing be cheaper than ever?
The answer is, OLD GOODS.
Remember we had a fifty per cent sale last winter, and closed out
all our heavy goods in order to be able to show all new goods this season.
We have only new goods and at prices you will appreciate—cheap enough
that’s sure.

A BIG any TRUST?
A Railroad Said to Have Cornered All
the Erie Canalboats.
WILL CONTROL THE RATES.
How the New York Central ls Alleged to
Have Brought Boatmen to Terms ‘
and Convinced Them It Would
Pay to Yield Quietly.
BUFFALO, Sept. 25.—The Express today
publishes a leaded three column article
declaring that the New York Central and
Hudson River Railroad company has se-
cured control of practically all the ton-
nage that floats upon the Erie canal, and
will therefore be in a position to control
all freight rates on the canal. The scheme
whereby the company has gained control
of the canal tonnage is said to have been
conceived more than a year ago. It was
set in operation, it is claimed, on the first
day that the canal opened last spring,
when boats were loaded at 2% cents. On
the day following the railroads cut the
price to 2 cents from Buffalo to New York.
This necessitated the boatmen taking
loads at 1% or 1% cents or lying idle.
“So shrewdly,” says The Express, “has
the New York Central done its work that
until a few days ago nothing could be
seen in this but an attempt on the part of
the railroads to force the boatmen to go
out of business. The scheme was a deeper
one than that, however. The New York
Central saw that it could do better than
throw the canal out of business, even if it
was possible for it to do so. There would
always be a time of year, just after har-
vest, when the elevators would not be
able to hold all the grain for the railroads.
Traffic has grown to such great extent
that at such times the railroad could not
hope to be able to control it unless it
should be able to control the canal. So
the company conceived the plan of gain-
ing control of all of the canalboats on the
Erie, making itself , a vast scalpi-ng com-
pany and forcing out all scalpers. This,
it is claimed, is just what the New York
Central has done.
H y Penalties Provided.
“It has operated through three well
known Buffalo canal men, and through
them has gained control of 90 per cent of
all the boats on the Erie canal, not a boat-
man having come into the combine who
has not assurance that the New York Cen-
tral company is behind the scheme. As-
surances of protection to boatmen who
have mortgages on their boats held by
scalpers have also been given.
“It is stated that every boatman who
has come into the combine has signed an
agreement to take no loads except such as
are given from the office of the syndicate
at 41 West Seneca street. If any boatman
should take a load other than assigned to
him from the ofilcc of the syndicate, he is
subject to a fine of $100 for each load so
taken. If the fine is not paid, he will be
expelled from the syndicate and denied its
protection and rates.”
The plan on which the syndicate is be-
ing worked is said by The Express to be
as follows: The agents of the New. York
Central Railroad company warrant the
boatmen good _ rates for carrying grain,
and in return the boatmen carry only
such loads as are assignedto them by the
freight committee or the New York Cen-
tral Railroad company. who dictate to the
shippers what they shall pay for the trans-
portation of their grain from Buffalo to
New York. In this way they will be able
to make their own rates to shippers, se-
cure the shaving which has been going
into the hands of the scalpers in the past
and at the same time do away with the
fight between the canal and the railroad.

BATTLE WITH BURGLARS.
Rough Experience of a Young Preacher
In Southington, Conn.
SOUTHINGTON, Conn., Sept. 26.—Thc«
Rev. Thomas C. Hanna, the young pastor
of the Second Baptist church, who came
here but two weeks ago to take his first
pastorate since graduating from the But-
ler university in Pennsylvania, was awak-
ened by some one moving around his
room at 4 o'clock this morning. He occu-
pied apartments in the house of R. W.
Voice and at first thought it was some of
the family. Receiving no answer to his
call, he arose and discovered two men
making for the wixw‘: NV. He grappled
with them, and a struggle ensued.
Mr. Hanna was thrown heavily agains.
a marble stand, but finally downed his
antagonist. Then the other man came on
with a knife. Mr. Hanna grasped the
blade, and although it cut him badly suc-
ceeded in wresting it from the burglar.
Both men then pitched on the minister
and beat him severely. In the scufi‘le Mr.
Hanna dropped the knife, and the burglar
recovered it. The burglar then stabbed
Mr. Hanna twice, once in the fleshy part
of the right arm, inflicting a deep wound.
and again in the face near the left eye.
The burglars then fled. They got nothing,
as he had evidently discovered them when
they were about to begin. A general
alarm has been. sent'to neighboring cities
for the arrest of the burglars. Mr. Hanna
will probably recover, but his wounds are
serious.
VETERANS FOR CUBA.
Spain Has Become Weary of Having Her
Raw Recruits Tronnood.
MADRID, Sept. 26.—The government
has decided to hereafter send only veter-
ans to Cuba for the suppression of the in-
surrection there. Advices from Havana
report several slight skirmishes between
Spanish and, insurrectionary forces and
the appearance of General Gomez, the Cu-
bau leader, in the provinceof Santa Clara.
Captain Vinal of the coasting steamer
Mortera, which sunk the cruiser Barcaste-
gui in a collision in the entrance to the
harbor of Havana on the night of Sept.
IQ, and who is to undergo trial by court
martial on the-charge of culpable careless-
ness, has been ordered to find bail in the
sum of 500,000 pesetas (about 09, 500).
LONDON, Sept. 95.-—-The Havana corre-
spondent of The Times, under date of
Sept. 21, says that it has been ascertained
beyond a doubt thht the cruiser Sanchez
Barcastegui had no lights showing at the
time other collision with the Mortcrp, the
electric dynamo having broken down a
few minutes before the accident occurred.
Up to this time only seven bedies have
been recovered. ‘ The Standard's Madrid
correspondent says that every steamer
from Havana brings numbers of political .
prisoners, who have been sentenced to
long terms of penal servitude for the part
they have taken ”in the rebellion. They
will be sent to the penal settlements at
Cents and Melilla, in Africa.

WHY IS IT?
Some find work where some find rest,
And so the weary world goes on.
I sometimes wonder which is best.
The answer comes when life is gone.
Some eyes sleep when some eyes wake,
And so the dreary night hours go.
Some hearts beat where some hearts break.
I often wonder why ’tis so. -
Some will faint where some will fight;
Some love the tent and some the field.
I often wonder who are right-
The ones who strive or those who yield.
Some hands fold where other bands
Are lifted bravely in the strife,
And so through ages and through lands
Move on the two extremes of life.
Some feet halt where some feet trend
In tireless march 23. thorny way;
Some struggle on where some have fled;
Some seek when others shun the fray.
Some swords rust where others clash;
Some fall back where some move on:
Some flags furl where others flash
Until the battle has been won.
Some sleep on while others keep
The vigils of the true and brave.
They will not rest till roses creep
Around their names above a grave.
—Father Ryan.
HOW ‘HE WORKED A MINE.
The Sheep Mountaineer Enlightens the
College Bred Inquirer.
“How do we work a mine?” exclaim-
ed the Sheep mountaineer. “Well, you
unsophisticated, undeveloped outcrop-
ping of the land of the rising sun, I’ll
proceed to enlighten your beclouded col-
lege bred understanding. ”
The college bred young man from the
land of the rising sun sat down on a
$300 to the ton chunk of ore and turned
his, undivided attention to listening to a
discourse on mineralogy.
“We first prospect around until we
find a tunnel in on the jugular vein and
a pile of ore on the dump. Then if the
other feller ain’t looking we jump. Then
we proceed to sink a. shaft on the float,
gather all the gangue and sack it, being
careful to preserve technical phrases in
mineralogical science in so doing. Then
we prospect the stockholders with an as-
sessment, and if they don’t come down
put in a blast. At this point we call the
roll, grab a No. 4 warranted not to rip,
wear, tear, ravel, cut or run down at
the heel ragical, tragical, irrasive smelt-
er and run up our stack. If. the other
feller holds the best band, the stack
will diminish, and we consequently
drift for a pay streak. If we don’t get
through drifting by fall, it’s the fust
thing we go at in the spring. ' We now
concentrate our efforts, and if the silver
panned out don’t have the eagle stamp-
ed on it we sample the outcropping in
every saloon within a radius of ten
miles and take a fresh chew of- tobac-
co. Then we get to work in earnest,
salt the dump and go east and sell all
the stock we can. We return, renew our
grub pile, pack it into the cabin and
wait for spring to open and the snow to
go 011‘. During this period we amuse
ourselves playing seven up for the
drinks. We then import a mining and
civil engineer, run a few levels, cross-
cut for another assessment, get it, cave
in the shaft and abandon the property.
Then’ ’— The Sheep mountaineer paused
for a. moment to catch his breath, but
the moment was fatal to his learned dis-
course, for the college bred young man
from the land of the rising sun feebly
reached for his pick, staggered slowly
to his feet, looked wildly through the
limpid atmOsphere toward the summit
of Sheep mountain and disappeared be-
hind the giant outcroppings of the Big
Eliza lode. —Lump City Miner.
How to Make a New Face.
Skin removing for beautifying pur-
poses is having a great vogue among the
women who can afford it. At present
the price for‘making over the face of a
woman under 50 is $50. An older sub-
ject who is greatly wrinkled has to pay
$100. The operation confines one to her
room for five days and is somewhat
painful, but not unbearably so, as the
skin removing paste contains cocaine to
numb the surface it rests upon. An odd
thing is that if you have your wrinkles
removed before you are really an old
woman they will come again as you ad-
vance to the wrinkled age, but if you
have them removed after you are as
wrinkled as you are ever likely to be
they do not return. And adanger of
the operation, so far as its complete
success goes, is that you will move your
face while the paste is getting in its
deadly work. If you do, a wrinkle
forms and cannot be got rid of. Liter-
ally you must bear the pain with an ab-
solutely placid countenance. Even a
grin is detrimental. — Philadelphia
Times.
Ancient Ropes.
While conducting a series of tests
with a 100 ton testing machine at the
Yorkshire college in England, which in-
cluded the testing of, a steel wire rope,
Professor Goodman stated that such
ropes were not a modern invention, and
that he had recently seen a bronze wire
rope one-half inch in diameter and from
20 to 30 feet long, which had been found
buried in the ruins of Pompeii, and
which must" have: been at least 1,900
years old. —Philadelphia Ledger.
Women who have a fancy for heavier
perfumes than delicate toilet waters and
cl'ean smelling colognes, and who afloat,
some special essence, are not always
aware, perhaps, that‘few of the 11ch
after which their [favorite odors .are
named play any part in contributing to
the rich fragrance.

13,200 houses, churches, halls, libraries,

is estimated to equal 630', 000 gallons per
acre every year—almost 3,000 tons.
