Any observing man can instantly detect the dif- ference between Custom-made and Ready-made Clothes. In tailoring, like in everything else, “times change.” You are now buying with more discretion thun ever before, and the styles, methods and prices of yesterday will not do for to-day. I Propose to keep fully abreast of the times in all mat- ters pertaining to tailoring, I sell strictly for cash, aud the fret that “cash makes a lower price” is substantiated by the occasional offerings of some ‘Tailors who advertise certain lines at a reduced price “for cash only,” thus barring out their credit customers. Is it not an acknowledgment that Tuiloring can be deme for less if for cash? 1 claim that the man who buys his trousers and suits on credit pays from 25 to 3334 per cent more than he should, or would, if he paid cash. Toffer Cnatom Work almost as low as you are cherged for factory work, yet I am not competing with low-grade cloths and materials and poor work. My cloths embrace “from the good to the best made.” and I Promise you a perfect fit and entire satisfaction ataless price than can be named by any other equally first-class Tailor, Having just returned from the New York market, Tam now offering, in addition to my regular stock, an unusually attrac- tive line of Tronserings and Coatings, at prices from 25 to 3335 per cent less than generally pre- vail hereabouts, viz. 1 Line of $12 Trouserings at $8.35. 1 Line of $10 Trouserings at 1 Line of 89 Trouserings at $6.35, Black Diagonal Coat aud Vest, to order, it 0.

Mr. Bancroft is enjoying ood health and walks out each day. His riends have induced him to give up horse-back riding. They think that it is dangerous for a man of his years to continue this form of exer- cise. Mr. Bancroft has been very foud of rid- ing, and in good weather was on horseback nearly every day. For several years past his friends have been trying to induce him to give it up, but it has been only recently that they have succeeded, To show that he is in earnest, Mr. Bancroft has offered his riding horse for sale, Hermann, who has been Mr. Bancroft’s confidential man fora number of years, says that Mr. Bancroft is in excellent health, and is strong and smart.

He Interprets His Admissions of Last Friday to the Court. Special Cable Dispatch to Tar Eventne STAR. Loxpox, May 7.—The leading liberals decline to commit themselves to any expression of opinion about Mr. Parnell’s admissions of last Friday, pending his re-examination, which Sir Charles Russell will conduct himself, A similar reserve is exhibited by the newspapers, The unionist writers drew the point out strongly in their reports the next day, but otherwise ‘there has been no publie comment whatever | except in the Pail Mall Gazette, This makes the effect of the incident on public opinion the In a large London store erday, I heard one assistant say to another: ell, what do you think of your Parnell now?” This is the typical effect on a man in the street, THE PARNELLITES ARE PUZZLED AND ANNOYED, People in court saw the obvious annoyance on Russell’s and Lewis’ faces. The incident is not important in itself, but every one who | knows the English temper says that Parnell’s brutal frankness would be very injurious to Some of his friends remonstrated with him afterward, but he failed to cateh the En- glish point of view. “It was a life and death struggle,” he said, “and I did try to mislead the house, Why should I not confess it?” ‘The fact is the English liberals had begun to eanonize Parnell too much. on the forged letters, his sucec al parrying | of Webster hitherto, and his correct attitude since the Gladstone alliance made him appear ‘This incident re- vives his earlier character of AN IRISH IRRECONCILABLE and opinion rebounds, I have just come from the commission court, which opened to-~ with a personal explana- tion by Mr. Parnell. The drift of it was that on consulting Hansard (the ofticial parli ary record) he found that he meant, in 1881, to refer to the ribbon societies only, and that, as applied to them, his general statement was fairly accurate. Webster postponed further ane till he had had time to consult Han- sard. This explanation is tenable, for immediately after saying that secret conspiracies did not exist Parnell went on to instance the ribbon conspiracies, The court listened with deep silence, but I judged from the «lightly con- temptuous expression on the judges’ faces that the explanation failed to make a good impres- sion. ——.____ NIHILIST ACTIVITY. It is Having a Visible Effect on the Health and Spirits of the Czar. Lonpox, May 7.—Scarcely a day passes now- adays but does not bring press dispatches or private communications from St, Petersburg telling of increased nihilist activity and @ ecor- responding increase of the fears of the ezar for his safety. The Russian police have redoubled their efforts of late to thwart nihilist plots and break up nihilist haunts, with extremely grati- fying results, but despite the vigilance of the czars minions the conspirators continue their work undaunted, and the terror of his imperial majesty grows apace.

King, president of the hospital; Dr. Jobn 8, Billings, U.S. A., and D.C, Gilman, president of the Johns Hopkins university President King said that Johns Hopkins, in founding his two great trusis—the uuiversity and the hospital—each with an endowment of nearly three and a half millions of dollais, was not actuated by a wish to build a monument to his own memory. His motives were inigher and nobler, He remembered that in reply to @ question as to why he had never made a will (Johns Hopkins had neither wife nor children) Mr. Hopkins said that he looked upon his wealth as a gift for which he was not accounta- ble; but he was sure it was given to bim fora pur od aii e efore it was revealed to him how he should dispose of it, **This wealth,” he said, “is my stewardship.” One of the most interesting parts of Mr. King’s address was a quotation froma letter written by Johns Hopkins to his trustees, which clearly sets forth in a few words the good he proposed to accomplish. It is a follows: “You shall receive into the hospital the indi- gent sick of the city and its environs without regurd to sex. age. or color who may require surgical or medical treatment, and the poor of this city aud state of ali races who are stricken down by any casualty.” DR. JOHN S. BILLINGS, U.8. A., medical adviser to the trustees, fol- lowed at great length, complimenting the good judgment of the late Johns Hopkins in his not trammeling with specific directions those whom he had chosen to carry out his plans, The doctor rehearsed the fact that the men eu- trusted with the accomplishmen: of the @onor’s designs had sought advi-e, employing | five men skilled in hospitals, each to write an essay giving his suggestions. These were pub- lished and criticism invited and the plans re- vised. One of the essay writers went abroad, iting the hospitals of other countries, and finally the general arrangement was scttled upon as it is to-day. The doctor then discussed the objects of the institution and the various sanitary arrangements, explaining its merits, PROF, GILMAN'S ADDRESS, Prof. Daniel C. Gilman, president of the Johns Hopkins university, said that thirteen years ago, during the centennial celebrations of Independence Day, the university founded by Johns Hopkins began its work, and now, as we commemorate a completed century of con- stitutional lite, the hospital, gift of the same donor, throws open its doors. ‘hese buildi: are henceforth concentrated to the ministry of mercy and the restoration of life. That large- minded citizen of Maryland found two words adequate to his great ideas, “University” and “Hospital” were his chosen terms, and he linked them together by this significant phrase: “Bear constantly in mind that it is my wish and purpose that the hospital shall ultimately form a part of the medical school of that university, for which [have made am- | ple provision by my will.” | He referred to the fact that for fifteen years the public had bad the unpaid services of twelve of the most capable citizens of Balti- more, who have endeavored under the ship of their president, Francis T. King. to ascertain by correspondence, travel, reading, and by consultation with experts in medicine, surgery, nursing. architecture, education, an adnunistration, the most enlightened views oi the civilized worlds with regard to the con- struction and management of hospitals. They have built these seventeen buildings from the income of the fund and have even increased the rineipal gift They have constantly bene- fited by the professional advice of the distin- guishe surgeon, Dr. Billings. The noise of ee eee ee ministry ins. le then referred to the ample equipment of the hospital and to its objects and aims for the relief of the sick and wounded in the broadest possible sense, and to its value as an educa- tional institution, and closed as follows: “Upon one hill of Baltimore rises a temple ‘whose guardian crest, the silent cross,’ is an emblem of the Christian faith; upon column reminds us of the a third the Hotel Dieu is charity. —— triad. ‘Here abideth faith, hope, and charity, but the greatest of these is charity.’” Gov.
