It is a "His; l'lunge," but that was the only way n# do. These shoes were all as cheap at the prices they were originally marked as any one sells shoes for of the same quality, but the sizes are not all here now and some of them are a little antiquated in style, but that don't affect the quality and wear and you arc to have the l>cnetit and us the loss, but sell them we will, if price is anv object to you. 40 Per Cent, off o M OATS, ERS, SUITS, STORMERS, NDERWEAR, WOOLEN SHIRTS, WINTER SHOES, RUBBER GOODS, ETC. f I WOOLEN HOSE, GLOVES, Last week's Dun it Co's Weekly Trade Review, says: "The Rain in volume of business continues entirely without precedent. More than 390 establishments have started work since the election which were idle, and at least 300 have increased working force, making 6oo concerns which are known to have added largely to the number of hands at work, and these are only part of the whole number. Kvery day thus adds thousands to the number of those who are able to buy a week's supplies and to make up gradually for many months of enforced economy. Already*this firings great increase in the volume of business and the clearing house changes for the first time in several years, not only exceed those of last year by 10 per cent, but also exceed those of the same week in 1892 bv 9 per cent. Business men are all anxious to prevent anything like fictitious excitement of last summer and in nearly all branches an excessive rise in prices is prevented. But with more hands at work there is inevitably a greater demand for supplies, materials and products. The speculative markets have been reacting, which is also natural." the regular price is the way they arc sold, and no use to ask for them at less, and Wiv (H'AKANTKH YOU to give that amount off 011 the goods included in this sale, even if you do not ask it. No one who ever tells the truth will dare assert that this is not giving you the goods for less than they cost. 427 Pairs is all that are included in this sale !

Havana, Nov. 17. -The feeling of hostility against the I nited States is growing day by day among the Spaniards in Havana. Jose Jane, a merchant in San Ignacio street; Migui-1 Berenguer, proprietor of a large grocery in San Kaiael street and several other important Spaniards held a private meeting in la Lonja de viveres, or "the Grocers' Exchange," to prepare a plan of war against the I'nited States and submit it to ('.en. Weyler's consideration. Senorjane said that neither a strong army nor an important navy is necessary to destroy their country. In his opinion a fund of #200,000, which be invited the meeting to subscribe, would be enough to crush Uncle Sam. That money should be used to support in the United States some faithful Spaniards whose only task would be to make the acquaintance of the more violent Anarchists, give them money, and aid them in throwing bombs and blowing up public buildings and the fineat residences of the Americans. In the opinion of Senor Jane the submission of the United States would in this way be obtained in a few months. Another orator, Senor Ruiz, a printer, proposed to appeal to Gen. Weyler, in the name of all those present and of all the good Spaniaads of the island, requesting nini to represent to the Government at Madrid that the conduct of the 1'uited States in Cuban affairs is intolerable, and war should be declared immediately. Senor Rutz added that no more soldiers from the mother country were needed in the impending conflict, as the Spaniards of Cuba could whip the Americans. "We shall leave the regular troops to fight the insurgents in the island, and we will rise in an army of 100,000 volunteers to conquer l'lorlda," said Seno Ruiz. Senor Rerenguer said that any measures taken against the United States would be but a just retaliation, as the Americans are helping Maceo, sending him dynamite and arms to fight the Spaniards. Senor Arango proposed to await the results of Weyler's campaign in Pinar del Rio, and if on account of the aid extended by the Americans to the insurgents the latter could not be vanquished, then the only remedy would be "to attack the bad tree at the root, reducing to ashes the United States." This resolution was agreed to by all, and it is understood that on Weyler's return to Havana without having crushed Maceo an appeal will be made to him by the Spaniin citizens of Havana requesting the Captain-General to urge upon the Spanish Government the necessity for a war with the United States. The war talk in American newspapers has further embitted this people against America. It is dangerous today to receive by mail a copy of a New York newspaper. Senor Onate jud Dr. Montalvo were recently deported to the Chafarina* Islands for tne great crime of reading an editorial in The Sun. There are other cases of the aame sort. La Union Constitutional, the uncompromiaing Spanish organ, aaya: "If they talk of war, let us talk of war, too. Spain prefers to be at peace, but Spain never fails to punish the enemies, wnether they openly fight her or conceal themaelvea like cowards behind the negroes and bandits of I'inar del Rio, trying to accomplish in a sneaking way what thev do not dare to attempt face to face." The Spanish mind cannot conceive that the United States Government ia neutral in thil contest and ia trying to observe all ita international obligations so long as the Cubans in the republic are allowed to express freely their sentiments and to work in all the ways to help their countrymen, provided they do .not violate the neutrality laws. As the Spaniard* here believe that to impriaoo and even shoot a man for his opinions is a lawful and justifiable action, they think tlw United States Government ia hypocritical beoanar Spain ia attacked by the ■awpspsrs of America; aad yvt Pmkkit Clc nkpl calls 8nb "a friendly pow»r." 14 LONG, Prop's.

Bellefonte, Pa., Nov. 23.—Rev. C. C. Miller, pastor of the Bellefonte U. B. church, recently escorted two young women to call on a neighboring family. The trio started home at 10 o'clock across a field, and when about half way over were attacked by a mad bull. Rev. Mr. Miller very bravely went for the animal with dubs and stones, nntil the women escaped, and then had to save himself by climbing a tree. The enraged animal butted the tree hard and often, and it waa only with the utmost difficulty that Rev. Mr. Miller could retain his hold until help could arrive, attracted by his loud cries. Finally the owner came, but he was driven away by the bull, and it was only after the animal had been drive n out of tne field with dogs that the preacher could be liberated, and then alter he had been in the tree more than an hour. We can only have the highest happiness, such aa goes along with being a great man, by having wide thoughts, and much feeling for the test of the world as well aa oorsdves. And this sort of happiness often brings so much pain with It that we can only tell it from pain by its being what ww would choose before anything sine, becauar our souls aee thai it la good.—Gmobok Bujor.
