Why not consider the stock of Misses’ and Children’s Reefers, Coats and Caps for Christmas presents? It will please them—and you will be killing two birds with one stone. In view of the occasion you might make the purchase a little more elaborate in character than usual. Our special prices that we have put on these higher-class novelties will make that possible, without entailing any larger outlay. The assortment is in splendid shape to supply this dainty demand. We have collected, from these makers who make only the best, and whose designs are in the front rank of fashion, a large and varied line of choice and exclusive effects, for all the girl ages—from infanthood to maturity. You may be surprised at “concession prices” just at this time—but we have been able to buy very close. This sugges- tion of making gifts of these garments is worthy consideration. But aside from that feature, it is an offering that every family where there are girls, will be interested in. Misses’ and Children’s Reefers. We have called them exclusive styles—so they are—and exclusive qualities—the kind that you will have hard work to better, at any price. That is one thing that has helped this branch of our service to grow so fast—the distinctiveness of our garments and the care with which they are made.

Prof. Rockwood May Follow Example of Dr. Shields. A special to the Philadeiphia Press from Princeton says: Charles Green Rockwood, jr., professor of mathematics in Princeton University, will likely be the next martyr to the cause of the Princéton Inn. Prof. Rockwcod is an elder in the Presbyterian Church. He is also one of the twelve who signed the petition for a license for the Princeton Inn, and his signature to that document inay prove to have been given at the cost of his membership in the church. Prof. Rockwood said that he had not expressed his intentions to withdraw from the church, nor had he authorized the statement that he contemplated doing so. However, he would not deny that such was his intention, and the prevalent opinion among church people at Princeton is that Prof. Rockwood will soon be forced to foilow in the footsteps of the Rev. Charles W. Shields. i ————_—_-2-—____ BRITISH OCCUPY METEMMEH. One of the Strongholds of the Der- Vishes Captured. It is rumored in Cairo, Egypt, that the Anglo-Egyptian forces have occupied Me- temmeh, on the Nile, the main dervish po- sition between Berber, the headquarters of the expeditionary force, and Omdurman, near Khertoum, the stronghold of the der- vishes. The latter are said to have evacu- ated Metemmeh previous to its occupation by the Angic-Egyptian troops. Metemmeh is less than ore hundred and fifty miles, as the crow flies, from Omdur- A MEAN OPPOSITION TRICK. The amusing incidents of+political cam- palgns are many and partially compensate hard-working campaigners for the fatigues of waging warfare on the stump. During the Ohio campaign tast month Assistant Secretary Davis of the Interior Depart- ment spoke at Athens, the home of Gen- eral Grosvenor. The hall was packed. ‘The brass band was playing lustily. When the speakers appeared quict was secured. Sud- denly there was a commotion at the eu- trance, and the crowd gave way and al- lowed & passageway for a large coal-black negro with crossed eyes ani a grin reach- ing from ear to ear. He marched down the aisle toward the stage, bearing a very large transparency, turning it around as he approached the stage. Everybody turn- ed to icok, while the speaker, who opened his remarks, stood still to the commotion was about. After a moment the audience read on one side of the transparency the peculiar legend, “Why did she leave her home?” While on the other side was the answer “Because she could not take it with her.” The audience was convulsed with laugh- ter, and it was some time before quiet could be restored. It was then learned that the opposition had hired the colored man to carry the banner into the hall, the bear- er of the transparency, unabie to read “the inscription, being wholly innocent of any purpose to disturb the proceedings.

Superintendent Pratt of Carlisle re- ports an enrollment of 762 pupils at the beginning of this fiscal year, and they in- clude representatives of sixty-eight diff ent tribes.
