Tux Stan will appear on Saturday in quad- Fuple or 16 page form, filled, as usual, with a great variety of attractive and useful original and selected reading matter. As it is largely the custom of readers to send by mail out of the city extra copies of these mammoth ditions, they will please observe that the transient postage on « single copy of the 16 Page issue is feo cents, instead of one, which is sufficient for the ordinary editions of 8, 10 and 12 pages. If those who wish to mail the paper will heed this notice they will at once secure its prompt transmission to points desired and greatly ac- commodate the loca! postal authorities, who are anxious to promote the interests of the public, but are obliged to detain all printed matter not fully prepaid. 4 SUGGESTION OB Two. ‘When you get down on your shopping list to the men folks come in and see us, All over the house you'll find many « thing they'll like—something per- haps that never occurred to you—and still it will solve the “brain-tangling” problem in a jiffy. Go from de- Partment to department—get among the gift goods— see what there is to be had—for we've got the desirable sort, We'll jot down here presently a few of the things aa they pop into our head, but the great bulk you will have to take for granted.

WHERE TO LOOK FOR THINGS, FURNISHINGS, All cities should beware of large blocks of | SLIPPERS AND SHOES,} GROUND FLOOR buildings nominzlly fire-proof, but which, as in HATS, the recent case at Boston, are so constructed as to be really invitations to the flames.

But this fact should not blind the city to the necessity for improvements in all the respects demanded by wise vigilance before we are visited by one of those terrible scourges that have befallen Boston. New York, Chicago and other large cities, and have also swept into the limbo of the lost the property of whole villages and towns in all parts of the Union. Whenever any attempt is made to secure the improvements in railroad occupation which are enjoyed in other large cities, to protect the lives and property of citizens and to keep these powerful and persistently encroaching corpora- tions within the law, the railroad officials and their local dependents and echoes begin to whimper about the injustice and foolish policy of driving railroads out of the city. Noone would drive them away. The desire of the public would be to improve their be- havior while here. They are very useful servants to the public, and very tyrannical and grasping masters, The talk of removal does not come from the people, but is a part of the threat of the railroads as to what they might, could or would do, if not permitted to dispose 1s they please of public and private property and the lives of individuals at the capital of the mation, NOT 80 WITH Us. Don't let the general impression that prices are high st these times apply to us orour dealings with you. IT IS NOT CORRECT SO FAR AS WE ARE CON- CERNED. OUR PRICES—NOW-—AS ALWAYS— ARE DOWN TO THE LAST NOTCH. SAKS AND COMPANY. FURNISHING DEPARTMENT. You've no ides of the amount of thought snd taste It takes to properly stock this department at any sea son of the year—but especially st Christmas time. We carry 8 veriety and assortment of these Men's “Small Wares” that isn’t mstched by any two exclusive Gents’ Furnishers—nor equaled by ail the “side shows” run under the name of departments there are in town, We've that rich, exclusive and elegant class of goods that the gentlemen like to buy for themselves—or that they would be pleased to receive from you.

We'll leave you to “gee” the rest You'll find it all there—right before your eyes. $< a The Commissioner of Education will make the very valuable showing in his annual report that the public schools of the country are edu- cating their pupils to relish rather than dis- like manual work. The graduates of these schools are apt to prefer some mechanical oc- cupstion. This may be assufued to be the most hopeful phase of our industrial civilization, on which much of our moral and political civiliza- tion depends. $$ The public has not been aware that the ses- sions of the supreme tribunal of the United States are held mainly for the convenience of such members of Congress as practise before the court. The reason that is assigned why the Justices do not wish to have a new building is an eye-opener. a While official Gaul 1s gently yielding to La Grippe the German pbysicians find it to be necessary to tell the Berlinese that the dreaded disease is not much of anything, indeed that it is a charmer for knocking out typhoid fever in one round. If the reverend seignors at the north end of the Capitol can’t keep a curious youth out of the galleries during secret sessions, perhaps they would do well to call the sessions open. ‘The newspapers, however, have been ahead of of the curious youth some time. oo One of the perfectly satisfactory net results of the Cronin trial is the discharge of so many of the policemen who were in sympathy with the assassins, SAKS AND COMPANY, MORE POINTERS.

In giving expression to feelings of friendship, Sratitude, respect or love the tendency of thought is in the direction of the gsy and gsudy. The bright bsuble. The glittering gem.
