1st.—By giving them reliable Goods. Some Goods look
well, but don't wear well. Woolens are very deceiving
You can't often tell the quality of the stock, nor the
' test of the color. We make this a study and give you
only standard Goods.
2nd.—By giving them well made and well fitting garments.
What matters the good quality of the material, if the
workmanship of the tailor is poor? Or the beauty of
goods if the fit is miserable ? But combine the three,
—good material,—honest workmanship,—and a good
fit,—and you have the complete garment. Twenty-five
years experience has taught us how to do that.
3rd.— By giving them full value for their money. Whatever
amount you are willing to spend for Clothing, rest
assured that we give all that is possible in return for
your money. And our annually increasing sales show
that the people appreciate it.
The stock for the season is ready now, the quality, style, and
prices are right. Won't you call and see for yourself?

A. loisetce, 237 Fifth Ave. New York.
He was a bad lot! Magistrates,
jail chaplains, and police had all at
various times told him so, and he
quietly accepted their judgment,
knowing it to be pretty near the truth.
An outcast from his very babyhood,
what chance had he ever had ? Left
by an unfeeling mother to die in a
roadside ditch, he had been taken io
the nearest Union, to be brought up a
workhouse ioundling, until he was old
enough to be bound 'prentice and the
guardians could wash their hands of
him entirely. A drunken saddler
covenanted to clothe, board, and teach
him his trade; and at bis hands poor
Jim had a dog's life, uutil, goaded to
madness by every species of ill-treat-ment,
he struck his master and tied.
For a while he tried hard to get work
in the villages through which he pass-ed
; but no one would take on a strange
friendless lad, and he mad«! up his
mind to enlist for a soldier.
But ill-luck would not let him go.
He was routed out of an old stable by
a zealous member of the city
police, and charged next day with
sleeping out at night, or some equally
heinous crime, the result being that he
was committed to prison for seven days.
This broke down his la?t shred of self-respect;
and when that happens to
man or boy, heaven help him, for his
doom is sealed.
Jim came out of jail utterly reckless
with a wild hatred of everybody and
everything. He thought no more of
soldiering or getting :Js work, but let
himself drift resolutely to the bad
He soon got into vicious company.and
before many weeks were over was
again in the clutches of the law. The
down-hill road is an easy one, and the
pace is always rapid, and so at thirty
years of age he was pretty widely
known to the authorities as a confirm-ed
rogue and thief, :wl« would not
stick at trifles when once he was rous-ed-
;|
Yes, there was no doubting it, he
was an out-and-out ba<| lot! And he
looked it, too, as he slouched along
the country lane with bis hands deep
in his empty pockets and his head bent
to meet the rain which the November
wind drove in his face. But he was
too much used to discomfort to heed
the weather, and plodded sullenly on
through the puddles in the deepening
gloom, half asltep, and so utterly care-less
of everything around that he never
heard a beat of hoofs unti] a cheery
voice cried : " Now, my good fellow,
if you do not want the whole road to
yourself, perhaps you will let me pass."
Jim never looked around', but slunk
closer to the dripping hedgerow, and
expecting the horesraan to ride on
without another word, but something
quite unexpected happened, for the
cheery voice said " Thanks ?" '
It was the first time anyone had
ever thanked the good-for-nothing, and
he stared up in blank amazement and
saw a man of about his own age, in
red coat and top boots plentifully be-spattered
with mud, looking down at
him from the back of a weight-carry-ing
hunter without the least gleam of
aversion or suspicion on his pleasant
fresh-colored face.
"You look lather, done up; been
long on the road ?"
" A week an' more!" The reply
was surely enough—not that Jim
resented the question, but simply be-cause
he was so well used to insults
and rough speaking that the idea of a
«' blooming swell" speaking civilly to
such as he took him utterly by sur-prise.
" Going home ?"
Jim gave a contemptuous grunt.
" Never ha van, guv'nor 1"
" Poor chap! But you Jive some-where,
I suppose ?"
" Oh yes,"—with a grim chuckle—
•'I live somewhere—anvwhere. I'se
not like some folks, must have every-thing
tip-top. No; that's not my style
Ye've a big house, in course, and lots
of slave* to wait on ye. I live just
where I can, and has to tend for
mysen, and don't often get my meala
reg'lar."
"But you have friends somewhere
I suppose?"
"No; not me! There's never a
single soul, guy'nor, in this wide world
as cares a rap for me ; and when I lies
down some day and dies in a ditch,
there'll noan be, man, woman or child,
•a'll mis* me. None'll be sorry
'ceptin' the parish bums as'll have to
put me underground, and they'll
grudge doing of that even." Jim gave
a short ugly laugh and slouched on,
the water squish, squish, squishing out
of the gaping rents of his old boots at
every step. He quite expected the
" swell " to ride off now and leave him
to the rapidly deepening gloom and
the wild, cheerless night; but the
horse was kept steadily alongside of
him, And his rider spoke again.
" Can't you get in regular work and
leave this tramp business ?
No; there's none'll have the likes
of I don't look respectable
enough.*
" Nonsense, man. Don't get down
on your luck, hut pick yourself up.
Now. look here; I will give you a
chance myself, if you will take it."
Jim could not believe his ears.
Some one actually talking to him as
if he was an honest man, and not
some sort of vermin or venomous
beast. A real " tip-top gentleman,"
too. He must be muddled. But the
brown eyes were looking coolly enough
at him, and their owner was saying :
" Well, what do you say ?" '
" Yer don't know what I be; I'm a
bad lot! I've been in quod oft
enough," blurted out Jim, feeling
somehow he could not take his new-found
patron in.
" I dare say you have, and deserved
it, too. But I believe you can pull
round ye if you like ; and, as 1 said,
I will give you the chance of regular
work and pay. Will you take it?"
In the depth of Jim's warped na-ture
there glimmered something like a
spark of gratitude and a dim longing
«iter a new life, for a moment; but
old habits were too strong for him,
and the clouds closed darker again as
he shook his head and saia in tones
which tried to be civil: " No, guve-ner;
yer mean well ; but its uo go
now. I'm no good for anything but
cadging and tramping, an' I doan
want to work for any master—an' I
won't, neyther."
He expected an angry lecture and
round abuse for refusing; but the
other said quietly, stroking his boot
with the handle of his hunting-crop:
"That is a dangerous way of think-ing,
my friend, and will get you into
trouble again. You are a fool not to
try to pull out a bit, but you know
your own affairs best. Well, here is
a supper and a bed for you, anyway.
Look out." He tossed a half crown
to Jim with careless, easy goodnature,
and, shading up his horse, trotted off
with a nod and "good luck."
How costless a word or two of sym-pathy
are, and yet how priceless they
may become ! How easy to be gra-cious,
and yet how far-reaching the
results! We scatter kindly greetings
here and there as we journey through
life, and lo! they spring up bright
flowers to gladden some sad, weary
wayfarer.
Hugh Boyntou, smoking his high
priced Havana after supper that even-ing
in the luxurious ease of his favor-ite
lounging-chair, had utterly forgot-ten
all ab.»ut the few words and the
silver coin which he had thrown to the
tramp whom he had overtaken as he
rode home from hounds. Jim, curled
up under the lee of a cloyer rick,
turned the half crown over and over
in his hand, and thought of how, for
once in his life, he had been spoken
kindly to by a real gentleman.
Five dreary years passed over Jim's
luckless head, their monotony broken
by police court, prison cell, and va-grant
ward experiences. He had wan-dered
up and down some dozen coun-ties
and seen the inside of most of
their jails, and now had drifted toward
New York. He had scarcely tasted
food for a week and had almost for
gotten the feel of a copper coin.
The afternoon was closing as he
ound himself in the long stragging
village of Marston, footsore and done
up. The lights at the grocer's shop
shop threw a broad band of brightness
across the road, and Jim could see a
man in a white apron busily piling up
a pyramid of loaves which a boy had
just brought in crisp and hot from tht
bakehouse. The sight was too much
for the famished fellow, and he pushed
his way into the shop. " Now, then,
what is it?" cried the shopman sharp-ly,
as he scanned Jim's tattered ap-pearance.
" Will you give me yau ov them
little uns, guv'nor? I'm nigh clem-med
;" and he nodded toward the bread
pile.
" No, certainly not; I never give to
beggars or tramps."
"I've not tasted bite nor sup this
blessed day, God knows."
" Can't help that ? Come, get out
of the shop, do you hear ?—or I'll set
the constable onto you. The likes jf
you ought not be allowed to go about
the country. Come, off with you !"
So the social outcast went forth into
the night hungry and insulted, and
the sleek tradesman rubbed his hands
and stacked his loaves, congratulating
himself the while on his refusal to
countenance a worthless vagabond,
who, regarded from the lo*ty stand
point of political economy, had no
right to live on the earth.
Three times did Jim try his luck
down the length of the yillage street,
with no better success ; and then he
gave it up and oitterly left the houses
of his fellow-creatures behind him and
faced the bleak open country again
He dragged himself along for a few
weary miles, then opening a gate
crawled into a half-ruined cowshed
and flung himself down upon some
bracken and straw litter in the furthest
corner, and dozed off. When he woke
up the moon had risen, and was shin
ing in through the chinks of the roof,
and Jim could see the country side
was white with snow. He shivered
and buried himself completely in the
bracken and tried to sleep again and
forget the cold and his hunger. He
had almost succeeded, when the sound
of voices came to him on the still night
air, and a minute later three men en-tered
the shed.
" Curse the cold !" growled one as
he drew back just within the shadow.
" Curse him, you mean," said an-other,
as he leaned a thick oak cud-gel
against the wall and began to blow
upon his numbed fingers.
I'll do more than curse him when
the time comes," answered the first
speaker.
Ay, he'd best not taken as 'i hand.
Says lie, when with the rest of the
beaks he sentenced Tim and Jeff:
'The poaching rascals shall be stopped
if I have to do it single-handed.' "
" Well, he'll be single-handed to>
night anyways, for he's no groom wi
him. So he can try what he's good
f>r wi' three ov us; eh, Jack?"
" He'll find it a tough job, I'm think-ing."
" Is t' wire right, Bob ?"
" Surely !" His mare steps high
but I've 'lowed for it, and she'll catch
beautifully. It's past twelve now ; he
oughn't be too long."
" Hist ! mate ; there's wheels. Now
for't. Come on."
The three men went out quickly,
and Jim, following to the door, saw
them leap into the road and hide in the
hedge on the opposite side; then he
stole down to the gate, out of mere
curiosity, to watch what their game
was. In a few minutes the ring of
hoofs grew louder, and a high-wheeled
dog-cart Spinning round a corner came
rapidly down the lane. It was occu-pied
by one figure only, the red glow
of whose cigar gleamed in the frosty
air ; and just as ths scent of it reached
Jim he saw his horse suddenly plunge
and stagger forward, The wire-snare
had done its work, the animal fell
heavily and the driver, thrown off his
balance by the shock, shot out on to
the snow. Before he could rise, the
men were upon him ; but somehow he
managed to shake them clear and
struggle to his fee . He faced them
boldly and met their rush with a right,
and left hander which sent one to the
ground, but the other two closed in
upon him.
Jim looked on with languid interest.
Evidently it was some magistrate way-laid
by three men who had a score to
settle against him. It was no business
of his anyway, and though three to
one was hardly fair, he was not going
to interfere. The gentleman lought
well, whoever he was, and again sent
an assailant backward with a well-got-in-
blow. But the odds were too heavy,
and the cudgels told. He began to
stagger and give ground and a blow
on the head beat him down. " Give
it him, lads, if we swing for't," cried
the tallest of the three villains, jump-ing
upon him, mad and blind with
rage.
A ray of moonlight fell upon the
upturned face of the fallen man ; it
was that of the gentleman who five
years ago talked with Jim in the lane.
In au instant he was over the gate and
at the men like a tiger-cat, and so sud-den
was his onset that they gave
ground; then, seeing he was alone,
they rushed at him with oaths and
threats, Weak from want of food and
half dead with cold, poor Jim had
never a chance. For a few seconds he
held up doggedly against the shower
of blows ; then feeling he was done
for, stooped suddenly, flung his arms
round the senseless Squire, and with
one last effort managed to roll into
the deep ditch, keeping imselt upper-most.
The brutes jumped down and
strove to make him lose his hold of
their victim ; but stunned and blinded
with blood, he clung fiercely to Hugh
Boynton, sheltering his body with his
own.
The world began to spin around—
another and another heavy blow—a
chiming of fàr-off bells—a hollow buz-zing—
and then— black night forever !
Next morning they were found to-gether
in the trampled, blood-smeared
ditch—one living, the other dead.
Hugh Boynton often wonders, as he
looks up at the white stone which he
put up over a nameless grave, who his
preserver was. But the recording an-gel
will one day tell how Jim, the
" out and-out bad lot," gave his life
for the man who once spoke kindly to

With 120 or more bodies already
discovered from the ruins of the Louis-ville
disaster, and an estimate that
others to be dug out of the debris will
swell the total to at least 175, there is
coming to the front a clearer idea of
just how severely that city suffered
from Thursday's tornado. But not
all the loss of life and properly due to
the storm was sustained by that city
alone. Far from it. There is a grow-ing
possibility that the casualties in
other cities—largely in Illinois and
Indiana border counties—may equal
if they do not exceed in the aggregate
those of the stricken Falls City. For
example, there are reported from the
vicinity of Gallitin, Tenn., about 20
deaths; from Jackson county and ad-jacent
territory, 50, and from the Po-sey
county region about 50 more
These, with Louisville's 175, make a
grand total of 295, without including
any of the scattering casualties that
fell by twos and threes in separate
sections.
A dispatch from Marion, Ky., says
that a large portion of that town was
destroyed and 18 lives lost. A family
consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Mon-tague,
and four daughters, and the
mother of Mrs. Montague, living in
the country eight milts from Marion,
were crushed to death by the falliug
of thieir dwelling.
LOUISVILLE, Ky., March 29.—Since,
Since Thursday's tornado it is to occu-py
a page prominent in the history of
the world's cyclonic events, something
more definite as to just what it was
like will prove both instructive and
interesting. People in the midst of
tottering and tumbling structures sel-dom
: observe more than the ruin
wrought. But occasionally a cool ob-server
just outside the danger line,
has opportunity to see and describe the
effect. This was the case with Dr.
Lyon, who resides at the falls. The
cloud accompanying the cyclone was
observed by him along almost its en-tire
course. He says the cloud ap-proached
up the gap in thé Knob
through which the Ohio flows. It was
balloon-shaped, twisting an attenuated
tail toward the earth. It emited a
constant fusillade of lightning;, and
seemed to be composed of a lurid,
snake-like mass of electric current,
whose light would sometimes suddenly
be extinguished for a few brief mo
ments, making an almost intolerable,
'lorrible darkness. It was accompa-nied
by a fearful roar (like that of a
thousand trains cross the big bridge at
once).
A CLEAR SENSE OF ITS MAGNITUDE,
A sense of magnitude of the disas-ter
and the terrible force of the tor-nado
comes home to those who stand
and look at the ruined buildings to-day.
One hundred and six bodies haye
been recovered so far and identified.
Fourteen more are not yet identified.
The injured yet remain unnumbered,
nor can it be kuown for a long time
yet how many of those now suffering
the combined agonies of physical hurt
and heart bereavement will yield
their lives to the combined assault.
It is now said to be quite certain
that the loss of life occurring directly
from the tornado will not exceed 175,
but this number will be largely in-creased
by the deaths from injuries re-ceived
from various causes. A sys-tematic
counting of the dead and
wounded and of the buildings has been
begun. It is believed that all of the
dead, save in the dancing hall, have
been found, and the estimate given is
nearly correct.
EVANSVILLE, Ind., March 29.—Now
that some sort of communication be-tween
this city and the surrounding
country has been restored.it is learned
that the tornado's death and destruc-tion
over in the Louisville direction
did not begin to embrace all its terrible
work. For example, in Point town-ship,
Posey county, on Rising River,
nearly 100 people were killed and in-jured,
and a number of physicians
have been called to attend. There is
no chance of obtaining anything fur-ther
reliable from that secti 'n.
A brakeman on the Ohio Valley
Railroad, arriving here at midnight,
reported that at Blackford and
vicinity in Union County, Ky., on
Tradewater River, not less than fifty
houses were carried off their founda-tions
and demolished, and thirty lives
were lost.
A letter received from Blackford,
Ky., last night conhrms the report of
the terrible calamity at this point.
The correspondent states that the en-tire
town was swept away by a tornado
on Thursday night. But few houses
remain standing, and these are badly
damaged. Many were killed. The
damage and loss of life in the country
are reported to be very large.
FIFTY PERISHED IN JACKSON COUNTY.
The ruin wrought by the storm in
Jackson county, 111., was terrible.
About twenty-five people are reported
killed. Sixteen are reported killed in
and about Shiloh and north of Camp
bell Hill, in the northern part of the
county. Several were killed about
Popular Ridge, in the southern part
of the count}'.
At Grand Tower four were killed)
three children are missing, and a great
amount of property was destroyed.
At Vienna, 111., a young man named
Walker and a little child were in-stantly
killed, and the wife of W. J.
Sh ultz and his domestic servant were
fatally injured. All buildings gave
way before the wind.
Though nobody was killed outright
in the tornado at Sparta, 111., many
were seriously injured, and numerous
buildings wrecked.
The lightning was worse than the
wind at MechaiJcsburg, 111. It killed
Charlie Black, aged 12, who was out
riding, and his horse met death by the
shock. A little sister riding with him
was only slightly injured. All sorts
of structures were damaged DY the
storm.
To Kill the Pastor.
EASTON, Pa., March 30.—A ball
from a revolyer last night crashed
through the window of the residence
of Rev. O. D. Bartholemew, pastor of
the St. John's German Lutheran
Church, Philipsburg. The bullet
passed close to the pastor's head, and
lodged in the wall. This is the second
time that shot was fired into this same
room, and it is alleged to have been an
attempted assassination. The police
have searched for the would be mur-derer,
but failed to find him. The
pastor is a relative of the murderer
Bartholomew, now in Easton jail.
Wallace for Governor.
Ex-Senator Wallace quietly visited
Samuel J. Randall in Washington,
and after a lenghtv consultation with
leading Democrats it was agreed that
their desire was that Mr. Wallace
shall be the Democratic nominee for
governor of Pennsyhvania, Mr. Ran-dall
saying he would do all in his
power for Wallace. The lines are
now drawn. William L. Sectt is for
Pattison. Scott is for Cleveland de-legates,
while the Wallace-Randall
men are for Governor Hill, or, if
there is no hope of uniting the New
York factions, then the Pennsylvania
delegation, (if Wallace wins at Scran-ton),
will be for Wallace for president.
Pennsylvania's delegation will then
make no concessions either way, and
be for Wallace for governor first, and
if elected, then Wallace for president,
on a tariff reform platform, the same
as the Cleveland idea. Sir. Wallace
has a half million dollars ready for
necessary election expenses.
A Bridegroom Goes Mad.
GALLUP,Prussian Poland, March 29
Heinrich Raboezynski the son of a
wealthy peasant, was married here
last Wednesday to a pretty young
girl. A big wedding party was given,
and the pair seemed very happy.
Late at night they retired to a pretty
cottage. On the following morning
the neighbors noticed no signs of the
pair, and broke open the cottoge door,
when a horrible sight met their view.
On the floor of the bed-room lay
the nude body of the bride covered
with blood. Her face, nose and lips
were most severely bitten and her
breast and Sogers esten away as it by
the teeth of a wild beast. The hus-band
was in bed fast asleep, a foam
iiding from his mouth and the
flesh of his right arm torn away. On
awakening he jumped from the bed,
barking and suarling like a dog, and
going around on all fours endeavoring
to bite. After a fierce struggle the
man was overpowered, and died later
in the afternoon. He was bitten by
a mad dog about a month ago, and it
evident he became raving mad
through the excitement of the wed-ding.
