Mothers had settled the question of where. What and when were the only points to de- termine. We are just as cautious in selecting our children’s gar- ments as the bigger ones. Value counts for more in them. Its presence is better appreciated. But the policy of this store admits of no double standard. The best in everything. Outside of the main feature of wear-worth—our line of Children’s apparel will appeal to you in its exclusive fashion— careful making. It will be almost a surprise to find such a lavish expenditure of taste and thoroughness. Quite extraor- dinary. One of the betterments of the bigger and better store. The prices, too, tell a story of economy. Not nearly as much to pay as formerly—as elsewhere, perhaps — for lots more satisfaction. Accept these as big values for the money—for they are.

UNFORTUNATES IN LINE Some of the Oases Tried in the Police Court Today. Sentences as Given Out by the Judge —Those Whe Rede in the Free Van. William 0. Kelly, a colored man who was a passenger on a 7th street cable car last night, was a passenger in “Dick” An- derson’s “Black Maria.” He paid 5 cents for his trip on the car last night, but this morning’s hire did not cost him anything. When Judge Kimball's procession moved into court William was the leader, and when his case was called, Lawyer Ricks appearing for him, entered a plea of not guilty. “I have known Kelly for years,” the lawyer said, “‘and could hardly realize that the man whom I saw in the dock was my friend.” Disorderly conduct on Conductor Doni- phan’s car was the charge against the colored man, to whom counsel referred as a Christian gentleman. “This man got on my car at 7th and I streets,” said the conductor, “and stood in front of the trailer. A lady who ot on the car took a seat on the grip, and the man walked to where she was and took a seat beside her. When I saw him cro ing her I asked him if he wouldn't take another seat. Witness sald that he returned to the rear of the car, and afterward Kelly followed him and wanted to fight. At the end of the route Kelly invited him off the car. A. B. Cole, a passenger on the car, told the court that he heard Kelly talking to the conductor and heard what he said abcut fighting. “The lady thanked me for what I had done,” said the conductor. “Of course she did,” remarked counsel. “Iaadies usually thank gentlemen when they are gentlemanly to them.” The defendant said he was employed in a 7th street store, and he had always tried to be a gentleman. He said he <hought he was not doing anything wrong when he sat next to the lady, and he admit*ed that he had with the conductor. Judge Kimball told him the trouble was that he had no right to do so much chin- ning, and that he had no rigat to do so un the car. “In my judgment, the conductor did Just what he ought to have do: the judge. “I have frequently seen la a in the street cars crowded ‘by men in just aid counsel, » any compiaint. ‘Of course, she didn’t,” the judge said, “and nobody knows how much ladies have to put up with on sireet cars. con- @uctor is to be commended for what he did. He very properly asked the nan to move, and as a gentleman he should have moved to one of the vacant seats cn the car.” There was no claim that he used pad language, and the court released nim on his personal bonds. Crate of Beans. A crate of beans taken from a country wagon at the caused some trouble young colcred man. “this lady did not There was no claim that he actually took but it was alleged that he had the beans, an interest in them after they were stolen. “I found him putilag my crate on a fire,” said the owner of the beans, “but I didn’t see him with the beans.” This was about 4 o'clock this morning, and Policeman Herndon, who made the arrest, told of the prisoner’s statement. Among other things he said the thief did Center market last night to Frank Edwards, a The Honest Shakers and Their Cure for Dyspepsia. ‘The shopkeeper who cheats us by lying with re- gard to the quality of his goods, and the grocer or the butcher who gives us chort weights, is a thief, However, thelr knavery touches nothing but our pocket bouk.

There his just been received in this city the plaster cast of the Fred Douglass capi- tal that has just been erected over one of the composite pillars in the state cap! tol building at Albany, N. Y. The plaster model was donated by Mr. John E. Bruce of the state treasurer's office at Albany, who 1s a contributor to the coluzans of the Colored American, published in this city in the press name of “Bruce Grit,” to the Bethel Literary 2nd Historical Society of this city. It is arranged that the cast is to be presented next Saturday night at the regular meeting of the society at tne Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, and Mr. Edward E. Cooper, editor of the Colored America will deliver an address as the representative of the denor, through whose suggestion and efforts the idea of typifying the colored race in the decorations of the beautiful building at Albany was brought to the attention of the board of commis- sioners of the state of New York having this construction in charge. Mr. Bruce e listed the co-operation of prominen zens of Rochester, which was Fred I lass’ early home. and through their a) secured the adoption of the prope and the finished marble capital now been put in place.

In the procession was a man named George Smith, and the charge against him was being an habitual drunkard.

What are the first sensations of the bat- tlefield?

Another—another. bullets, and, brought on’ a sudden, cholera-like disposition.” be compared with Zola’s description. now constant hissing of the bullets, with their sharp ping or buzz whispering around and sometimes into us, gave me a sickening feeling and a cold perspiration. I felt weak around my knees, of my legs, as if they would sink from un- der me. These symptoms did not decrease when several of my comrades were hit,” says Mr. Lee Goss, a former private in the Army ef the Potomac. No one quite knows how he will behave. “No man’—I am quot- ‘ing Wilkeson’s stirring narrative—“rcaliy enjoys a battle. One has to string up his nerves and take a firm grip on hims morally, and hold himseif in the baitle- flames for a few moments until warmed to passion.

In the one case he wi be moving and occupied; in the other case he will only have hi: danger to think about. This was, perhaps, the reason why, in the war of 1870-1. the German soldier rushed impatiently against the French positions. “The beat of the drum went before the thunder of our guns, and our power was shattered by the fire of the foes’ unshaken infantry.” He was anxious to end the period of tension, and to come to hand-grips with his enemy.

The forests of Canada have supplied more or less the wants of Europe for cen- turies. From the earliest days of tis oc- cupation by the French, the forest wealth of the country washed by the St. Lawrence engaged the attention of the government of Frence, who saw therein vast resources available for their naval yards. They dre from these forests large numbers of masts and spars, and issued stringent regulations fer the preservation of the standing oak.
