Our clothing has stood the test for nearly 20 years and now we show the largest assortment and the best values ever offered in this section of the State. Every year is an improvement over the proceeding one and the margin is smaller. Men's Suits, all wool, blue serge, black clays, thibits, unfinished worsted, checks and stripes, not flimsy, but well made regular $12 values at $10. Extra fine clays, serges, umfinished worsteds, black crepe, small and fancy checks and neat stripes, everv detail correct, $1S and $18 values at $12 and $1?. Great Reductions Create a demand that nothing else but low prices can do. With the busy season and low prices combined success is sure. This week we have received several large invoices on which some "Madam," said the attorney of the railroad company to the woman on the atand, "as I understand it at the time of yoar husband's death his life was insured for $10,000." "Yea, sir." "Yon also claim that he was killed by a train and yon are now suing the railroad company for $25,000." "Yea, sir." "Do yon think he was worth $35,000 ?" "I do." "That's all, madam." The woman stepped down and a tired looking man took the stand. "Your name, sir?" asked the attorney."John Beesley." "You have been a neighbor of the plaintiff?" "Yes, sir." "Have you ever heard plaintiff say anything regarding the value she set npon her husband." "Yes, sir; I have heard her tell him on several occasions that he wasn't worth his salt." And in just one minute the henpeokedjary brought In a verdict that the railroad company could not be held responsible for damages.—Indianapolis Sun.

The question m to whether Cab* or the United State* shall in future exercise sovereignty over the Isla de Plnos (Isle of Pines) is ons of the points at present being debated by the Caban constitutional convention, and it has served to draw attention to the fact that Cuba and Paerto Rico are not the only Islands in the Antilles which Spain lost when the treaty of Paris was signed. There are aboot a dozen Islands in the West Indies besides Cuba and Paerto Rico which passed oat of the possession of Spain at that time. Some of them are of no importance—mere rocks rising out of the water—bat others are regarded as of great i alue, and capable of being developed to immense advantage. Some of the islands are off the coast of Puerto Rioo, bat the greater number of them are near Cuba. Of the latter the Isle of PineB is by far the most important, Its area being almost equal to that of all the other small Islands of the group put together. The island is thirty-seven miles off the coast of Cuba, and virtually consist* of two islands, separated by a wlndlag channel. The Isle of Pines is sixty miles from east to west and fll* -Ave miles from I north to south, its area being about 1,200 square miles. In almost every way it la a most desirable possession. It» climate is far healthier than that of Caba, yellow and material fevers being almost unknown. Ttds is probably to be accounted for by tte fact that a great part of the Island is flur above the sea level. Almost exactly in its center is a mountain 1,000 feet hwb, known as the Slerradee la Canada. T wo other mountains are almost as high, and there are a number of smaller peaks. There are excellent harbors in the island ; the rivers are numerous and several of them are navigable some miles Inland; there are medical springs at Santa Ke—everything that could make the place desirable as a winter resort seems there. But this is not the only use for the island. It is extremely rich in natural resources. At the bases of the mountains referred to are beds containing marble of exquisite quality, with jasper and rock crystal; there are mines of silver, quicksilver, and Iron, and there are mauogany trees, including many of the male trees, which produce the class of wood from which furniture used to be made a hundred years ago, and which Is now becoming very scarce. Then there are cedar and various other woods, besides the immense growth of pines, from which the place takes lbs name; and the island also produces sulphur, turpentine, pitch and tar, tobacco, tortoise shell, and varlons other commodities. And with all this the Isla de Plnos at present has a population of but about 2,200. This means, of course, that its wealth has as yet hardly been tapped. Up to now the island has been a dependency of the province of Havana. It was discovered by Columbus in 14114, and was for centuries a favorite resort of pirates, so that there is the element of romance—and possible treasure—to add to its other attractions.—New York Times.

Ilerron's ltraud or Christianity. Dr. Newell D wight I Hills, pastor of Plymouth church and suoceesor of Henry Ward Beecher, recently refused to meet Dr. George D. Herrou At a Brooklyn club, and some of Dr. Herron's friends construed It as un act of per secutlon, on account of the latter being a socialist. Dr. Hillis, therefore, made a public statement explaining that his action was doe to Dr. Herron's personal character and record. Dr. Josiah Strong has also refused to meet Dr. Herron, assigning the same reason. The Iowa Congregational association has determined to try Dr. Herron for "conduct unbecoming a Christian and a gentleman." Dr. HUlls's statement reads, In part, as follows: "We believe In liberty, toleration and charity, but we also believe in the home, in the moral law and in Qod Almighty. I do not wish to be unkind, but there are sins so grievous, so bald, vulgar, and crass in their persistency, their virulence, that they consume the mantle of charity as a flame the garment. Consider the conceded facts in the case. This man marries n young woman, and is the father of four children, almost babies; forms a friendship with a young unmarried woman, from whom he accepts money to buy his clothes, hats, shoes, mid traveling expenses ; against his wife's protest goes abroad with this woman friend and her mother for a year; returns to tell his wife that he has ceasod to love her, but loves another, and persistently urges his wife to obtain a divorce. When the wife Is asked by the judge If there is any obstaole to their living together, ■he replies, "No, except In my husband's mind." This man's spokesman and bosom Mend In New Haven justifies the father's desertion of the four ohildren by saying the woman friend save the wife fioo.ooo to give her husband to her.—Public Opinion.
