The Prussian sword must be broken at the hilt before permanent peace can come—not sheathed—to be drawn from the scabbard upon some future trivial provocation that cou:d be adjusted by arbitration, but broken and ground into powder, said Hon. Clinton N. Howard of Rochester in a stirring address de- livered Tuesday evening in _Trinity very large audience. The World on Fire was the subject of Mr. Howard's address, and for over two hours and a half he held the close attention of his audience’ His words were fiery, right to the point, and were a great appeal for the noble cause which he is lecturing for. James C. Macpherson presided at the meeting and _introduced the speaker. In_part, Mr. Howard said: Napoleon' said to his secretary: “En- ter my room as few times during the night as possible; when you bring good news never wake me, for that I can always wait; but when you bring bad news, wake me instantly, for then there is no’ time to be lost.” T bring you bad news todsy.

Because a blue serge suit is the proper thing oftener than any other suit. Because a blue serge suit is always dressy and wears well. Because a blue serge coat looks well over any color trousers, particularly well over white flannel trousers. Beczuse there are several models to make a selection from — the. “box” — the “shapely”’—the “military” — the “one”—the “two”—the “three” button, and the “pinch back’ or “sport” coat. Because a blue serge suit can be bought as low as $15, and as high as $25, and all prices between, and all blue serge suits bought of us are guaranteed strictly fast color.
