He has been spending some time at Alta and Towles, well up in the Sierras, and his vigit to the mountains has restored his old-time vigor. He will remain here until next Monday, when he will return to Sacramento. In about a week he will visit the southern.| part of the State, in response to a telegram received this mornin While in the south he will inspect the various State institu- tions there; but the principal ob visit will be to look into the affai Sixth Agricuitural district. Some charges of mismanagement have- been made, but the Governor would not divulge: their ex- act nature. The executive said, in reply to a ques- tion, that he had not yet made up his mind with reference to the removal of Bank Commissioners Kilburn, McGee and Ful- ler. Headded: ““A mass of information has been laid before me by Attorney Clunie, who repre- sents the creditors of the Merced bank, and by a number of others.

Before he had fur- hed 1t the bank gave notice of an ap- The peal. Y The court fixed the supersedeas bond at $60,000. The bank promptly furnished a bond 1n $70,000 and announced it would wind up its own business. The city ex- cepted to the bond and is seeking to-night to secure an_order of the court to place the receiver in possession. - e ANARCHISTS AT SEATTLE. Twenty Disciples of Herr Most Who Hold Regular Meetings. SEATTLE, Wasm., Oct. 19.—An evening paper publishes a sensational story reveal- ing the existence in this city of aregularly organized anarchists’ club with a member- ship of twenty. It is claimed that the clubisa branch of the Chicago red flag organizations and that it was brought into existence and put into operation by one Henry Addis. Weekly meetings have been held 1n a ramshackle building on Thira street. LR S Arizona Agricultural Association. PHENIX, Arrz., Oct. 19.—The Arizona Agricultural Association concluded its session this afternoon and adjourned to meet again in January next.” W. Stone Devoe was elected permanent president. NEW RECORD FOR A MILE WALTER FOSTER TWICE CUTS INTO THE MARK SET BY JOHN- SON. Leaving THE PaciNG Quap Far BeHIND HE CovERS THE Dis- TANCE IN 1:46 3-5. NAPA, CaL., Oct. 19.—Walter Foster succeeded in breaking the world’s record for one mile, flying start, paced, this after- noon, cutting into Johnson’s record made ayear ago. Foster made four trials at the mile mark, two this morning and two this afternoon. He rode each of the trials in the morning in 1:48, and at the first at- PHENOMENON WHO HAS LOW- BRED THE WORLD’S RECORD FOR A PACED MILE, FLYING START, TO 1:463-5. [Reproduced from a late photograph.] removal of the Commissigners, if the facts Justify it “Have you the power to remove the Commissioners?” was asked. “That is a question that I am not yet certain about. I shail submit the matter formally to the Attorney-General if I find that the facts warrant my removing them from office. I have talked with him in- formally on the subject, but have asked for no opinion as yet.” “If the decision of the Attorney-General is that you have the power of removal, will you take steps at once to oust them from office?”” “Yes, I shall probably do so,” was the Governor’s answer, “‘that is, of course, if the facts show that they ought to be re- moved.” In speaking of the rewaras offered by him for the apprehension of lynchers, Governor Budd seemed very much pleased with the results growing out of the recent proclamation. “The other day,” he said, “‘Secretary McCabe received a letter regarding the capture of one of the Tehama County lynchers. 1t contains information which leads us to believe that six or seven more who were engaged in the same crime will be arrested and convicted.” g b Fell Under the Wheels, STOCKTON, Cawr., Oct. 19.—Harry Para- gon, a. Southern Pacific brakeman in the Tracy yards, was run over by a car this evening and probably fatally injured. The unfortunate man fell in such a position that a car-wheel passed directly across his throat. It was the wheel of a fiat car, and how his head was not severed from the body is a mystery. The neck was not broken, but the flesh was horribly bruised. TACOMA BANK FAILURE. The German-American Savings Insti-|> tution in a Receiver’s Hands. TACOMA, Wasn., Oct. 19.—The German- American Savings Bank went into the hands of a receiver to-day. The officers are Henry Oliver, president, and A. J. Wesbach, secretary. A refusal tostand by its credit of $58,000—a cash credit with the city—and its failure to return worthless warrants caused its downfall. At 9o’clock Judge Parker delivered his decision from the beuch, anpointing S. R. Balkwill re- celver, On April 17, 1804, the bank gave the city a credit for $80,000 on its books tempt this afternoon he broke the record, covering the mile in 1:47 flat. But Foster was not satisfied with this, and after a short rest he again came out on the track with a quad team, manned by Alford, Davis, Jones and Dow. After goinga mile 1o warm up they went to work to break their former record. The quad team worked like machinery, and sent the big 109-geared wheel ever the track with marvelous speed; but the plucky Foster never wavered, and he led them all the way around. Coming into the stretch with a spurt that would have done credit to the speediest of locomotives he left the quad ‘and dashed under the tape unattended, making the mile in the re- markably fast time of 1:463-5. The quar- ter was made in :25)¢, the half in :50, the three-quarters in 1:20. Foster is not satisfied even now with his performance. Wishing to reduce it below 1:45 he has therefore had his sanction ex- tended until October 31, and will remain in Napa next week and go for the mile rec- ord again. Foster can surely ride several seconds- faster if he can get the pacing, and it would not be surprising if he should ride the mile in 1:42 or 1:43. Nothing seems impossible for this wonderful rider, who, after riding three such fast miles, went out and cut down a world’s record. The officials to-day were: Palmer, ref- eree; Gardiner, starter; Stevens, Winship and Turner, timers; Jones, Williams and Stevens, judges; O. H. Buckman, surveyor. On Monday morning Foster will try to break his record of to-day. SANTA MONICA, CAL., Oct. 19.—The new bicycle track was opened by a most successful race meet to-day. There wasa large crowd [}resent from all over Southern California. The results were as follows: One mile novice, class A, W, W. Martindale won, E. L. Weaver second. Time, 2:21 2-5.

PR I TROUBLE FOR A MO, THE LYNCHERS OF "JACK” LITTLEFIELD TO BE ARRESTED, HIS BODY IS EXHUMED. FoUND DOUBLED UP SCARCELY TwO FEET BENEATH THE EARTH. PIERCED BY THREE BULLETS. A CoRONER’S JURY Is STILL INVES- TIGATING THE MANNER OF His DEATH. UKIAH, CAL., Oct, 19.—Arrivals from the Round Valley and Mad River country were numerous during the past week. The latest advices from there are to the effect that the inquest on the body of “Jack” Littlefield, who was hanged by mob while in the custody of eflicers of the law, was being held. Rumors concerning the affair are numerous. It is evident that most of them are circulated to prejudice the public mind in favor of one or the other of the rival ranchers. 1t is definitely learned that Sheriff Tom F. Bergin, accompanied by ex-Sheriff Bowie and Deputy Sheriff Box, all Trinity County officers, and Sheriff Johnson of this county, made a thorough investigation of the affair; in fact all are still busy with the matter. A Coroner’s jury empaneled at Weaver was taken to the scene of the. affray. There Littlefield’s body was exhumed. Three bullets were found, two in the breast and one in the neck. Those in the breast were made by 38- caliber bullets, and that in the neck was inflicted by a 45-caliber revolver. It is a significant fact that in all that country only one pistol is known to carry such a bullet as that which caused the wound in the neck. The hole in which Littlefield had been dumped was probably four feet long. The body was almost doubled up when found. His hat was thrown over the face. The body was buried only a couple of feet under ground. After the jury viewed the body, it was placed in a coffin and decently interred. The jury, accompanied by the officers, then went to Weaver to take evidence in the case. Sheriff Bergin of Trinity is making every effort to trace the participants. To-night it was asserted by reliable persons that ar- rests are to be made at once, but it is rot known here who the suspects are. Itis claimed that John and B. W. Van Horn are among the number. The inquest is being held 100 miles from here and sixty miles from the nearest telegraph office, so particulars are hard to get. Joe Gregory, accused of an assault upon “Jack” Iattlefield several months before he was lynched, was to-day acquitted by the jury after a brief trial SANTA CRUZ GRAND JURY, A REBUKE TO THE SUPERVISORS ENDS THE COURTHOUSE SCANDAL: CENSURED FOR THEIR UNBUsI- NESSLIKE METHOD OF AWARD- ING THE CONTRACT. SANTA CRUZ., Carn., Oct 19. — The Grand Jury was in session to-day in this city, and late this afternoon a report was filed in the County Clerk’s office in regard to the Courthouse affair, which it has been investigating. The jury reported that in re-employing Comstock, under the conditionsof the con- tract, the price of the Courthouse being $13,475 more than cailed for in the plans and specifications,making Comstock’s com- missions §673 75 more than it would have been had the contract prices not exceeded $40,000, the Board of Supervisors practi- cally presented bim with $423 75, or the difference between the $250 forfeiture and the $673 75 extra commission earned by the increased price of the Courthouse. The entire transaction of the Board of Super- visors in connection with Comstock showed very close relations between that body and Comstock. ““Although the jury has not been able to find any evidence of an incriminating character,” continues the report, “the whole transaction cannot be too severely condemned and censured. The jury has made a careful examination of this Court- house matter from the beginning to the present date, and finds no grounds for in- dictment or imreachment, but it is the sense of this body that the whole proceed- ing should be strongly censured for the unbusinesslike manner in which it has been conducted.” e TENDERED A RECEPTION. Royal Welcome Extended to Grand Chief Patriarch Reid. SANTA CRUZ, Can, Oct. 19.—Grand Chief Patriarch George Reid of the Grand Encampment of California Odd Fellows, who was elected to that office at the re- cent meeting of the Grand Encampment at Stockton, received a royal welcome at his home this evening. He was met at the depot by citizens headed by a band. A rocession was formed, Hastings’ band eading, followed by Grand Chief Patriarch Reid in an open back, the local encamp- ment and the Branciforte and San Lo- renzo lodges. They marched to the hall, where a banquet was enjoyed by the local 0dd Fellows and visiting members. The address of welcome was delivered by Dis- trict Attorney Carl E, Lindsay. COMPANY F MAY DISBAND. Captain Sexton“of Orovilla Declines Re- nomination, and the Boys Will Have No Other. OROVILLE, CAL., Oct. 19.—Company F, N. G. C., met at the armory on Tuesday night for the purpose of electing officers. Captain Sexton was placed in nomination for the captaincy by Private H. H. Taber and seconded by the entire company. Captain Sexton declined the nomination and said: ‘‘The National Guard is not child’s play. 1t is not maintained for the amusement of afew men. Itis a stern reality and in- tended for very serious work. I have tried to do my duty. I believe I have done it. T have done my best.” Remarks were made by several of the members, all being of the same opinion that Captain Sexton is the only one who | l can hold up the company, and that he was their only choice. Several refused to re- enlist under any other captain. A motion to adjourn sing die was lost. The meeting was declared adjourned by Captain Gunley, subject to the call of the brigadier-general. This is thought to be the disbanding of Company F. A very enjoyable time was had Thurs- day evening at Union Hall, the occasion being the annual ball of Company F, N. G. C., and the first dance of the season, Newbarth’s orchestra of Chico furnished the music. — - STARVING IN ALASKA. Government Aid in Rescuing Stranded Miners Camped on Cooks Inlet Is Imperative. PORTLAND, Or., Oct. 19.—Intelligence received here to-day says that the neces- sity of Government aid in rescuing the stranded miners now camped on Cooks In- let, Alaska, is imperative. The men are penniless, and it is not probable that any private vessel or owners will under- take a relief expedition through philan- thropic motives. The men must therefore look to the United States for aid, and that should be immediate. There are now three or four revenue cutters on Puget Sound, any one of which could be dis- patched to the scene within two days after receiving orders. Persons who have never visited Alaska can form no idea of the terrible jungie of forests and undergrowth covering the mountainous steeps of that country, the interstices of the timber being filled with a dense mat of creeping vegetation, through which in many places it is impossible for a man to cut his wa; here are now be- tween 200 and 300 of these men, nearly all native Americans, in desperate straits, and unless Uncle Sam goes to their aid most of them will perish Dbefore the winter is well over. RIVAL CLUBS AT SUISUN, SPORTSMEN LIKELY TO CARRY THEIR DISPUTE INTO COURT. LEGAL "PROCEEDINGS WILL BE BEGUN To CHECK ALLEGED PoacHING. SUISUN, Carn., Oct. 19.—Notices have to-day been served by Constable Kinlock on Dr. Parster, G. Hoxie and B. Morris, warning them to desist from hunting on the Teal shooting grounds. These papers will be handed to all trespassers, They read as follows: *“You are hereby notified that -you are unlawfully upon this iand, which said land is known as the Chamberlain tract, in the county of Solano. You are notified to immediately remove from this property upon which you are trespassing, and if you 1ail to do so you will be prosecuted to the extent of the law. “Cuarces W. KrrroGe, Lessee.” The report that the Mallard Club has forced its ark through the gate to the Teal Olub inclosures is ground- less. No attempt has been made to gain admittance. The ark is located outside the Huntington preserve, claimed by the Teal Club. Action will probably be brought against the latter club for blockading navigable waters, This slough is_unquestionably a navi- gable one, and it is stated the water is fully twenty feet deep, with a regular ebb and flow tide. The club, however, claims the slough is not navigable. Although a strong feeling prevails re- garding the barricading of thc sloughs, no violent steps have as yet been resorted to. e s Appties for Dissolution. SUISUN, CaL., Oct. 19.—An application has been filed in the Superior Court of Solano County by the directors of the Bank of Benicia for dissolution and dis- incerporation. Thisbank was incorporated in 1881, The decision for dissolution was unanimously approved by the full board. e SHOOTING AT SANTA ROSA. Two Quarrymen Quarrel and One Gets a Bullet in the Neck. SANTA ROSA, Car., Oct. 19.—Frank McCann of San Krancisco and Joseph Boylan, workmen at the basalt quarry, quarreled at the Half-Way saloon, five miles out from Santa Rosa, on the Sonoma road, last night, and McCann shot Boylan through the neeck. The wound is a dangerous one. McCann fled, but was captured to-day on the Calistoga road by Deputy Sheriff Weise. He was arraigned this afternoon on a charge of attempting murder. McCann claims that Boylan tried to rob him, while the injured man declares the shooting was done without provocation. One story of the trouble has it that the men, after drinking a good deal, started out of the saloon together, when McCann fell off the doorstep. He accused Boylan of striking him. Boylan replied, “I would rather have a man_take a shot at me than to accuse me of hitting him when he was not looking,”” And McCann, so the story goes, pro- ceeded to accede to Boylan’s preference by unloading a 38-caliber pistol at him. el g A0 SANTA ROSA WATER WAR. The City Has Filed Claims on the Visi- ble Supply. SANTA ROSA, Caw., Oct. 19.—The City Council assumed the offensive in the war- fare waging between the Santa Rosa Water Company and the city over the construc- tion of the new municipal water works to- day. The city filed claims on the water of Santa Rosa Oreek and all its tributaries for the purpose of using the water if found necessary for the new system. As the Santa Rosa Water Company ob- tains its supply from that stream the com- pany is compelled to go into the courts to protect its rights. It is also reported that the Council will begin proceedings to take away the franchise from the company. it T g ‘HACE EVENTS AT PRESCOTT. Eli Almont Won the Two-Twenty Trot. Cycle Runs. PRESCOTT, Arrz., Oct.19.—The main event at the races to-day was the 2:20 trot won by Eli Almont in four heats; best time, 2:32. The once great running horse, Mark Daly, was entered in the hali-mile dash. He is now 18 years old. It was i:[rubably his last appearance on the track, {e was easily beaten by King B; best time, 52 2-5, The cycle races included a quarter-mile Aclass, won by Harry Brown of Pheenix in forty seconds.

LIVERMORE, Car., Oct. 19. — Frank Bocea, a musician residing in San Fran- cisco, was run over by the morning local which leaves this place at10:30, and had both legs <o badly crushed below the knee that amputation was necessary. Bocca was carrying his harp, and attempted to board the train while it was in motion. He missed the step and_fell between his harp and the moving train. . His harp pres vented him from rolling out of danger. e . Red Men Parade at Portland. PORTLAND, Og., Oct. 19.—Two thou- sand members of the Order of Red Men, with their famiiies and friends, have come to celebrate the day of the order at the Oregon Industrial Exposition. The vis- itors turned out this afternoon and even- ing in a}mrnde that was viewed by thou- sands. During the evening they visited the exposition, where there were several :peeches made in honor of the organiza- ion. HEARING THE APPEAL, REV. MR, HOwWARD'S CASE COMES UP AT SAN JOSE ACCUSED OF CONTUMACY AN ATTEMPT TO SET ASIDE THE L0S ANGELES PRESBYTERY'S RULING: PLEADING HIS OWN CAUSE. JUDICIARY-ROOM OF THE SYNOD TRANSFORMED INTO A COURT OF JUSTICE, SAN JOSE, CaL, Oct. 19.—The number of complaints, appeals, transcripts and books upon acclesiastical law which crowded the desk of Dr. W. B. Noble, chairman of the judiciary commission of the Presbyterian Synod, in the lecture- room of the First Presbyterian Church to- day, gave it a decidedly legal appearance. At one side of the room were seated Rev. Burt Estes Howard, pastor, and H. T. Gor- don, elder of the First Presbyterian Church of Los Angeles, who appeared as appellants from a decree of the Los Angeles Presby- tery,which had suspended them from mem- bership for alleged insubordination, and opposite were seated Revs. W. Henderson, W. P. Craig, R. H. Hartiey and W. J. Chichester, who appeared as counsel for the responuaents, the Los Angeles Presby- tery. Rev. E. H. Jenks was appointed clerk and Rev. G. W. Lyon reading clerk. Around the room were seated the twelve commissioners who are to decide the ques- tion at issue. The complaint of J. K. Hoffman against the Los Angeles Presbytery was first called. Upon motion it was decided to defer this case until after the appeal of Rev. Burt Estes Howard, the suspended pastor of the church, had been disposed of. The appeal was read by Rev. Mr. Howard, who acted as his own counsel. Counsel for the defense moved a dismissal on technical grounds. The motion was denied. The appellant then sought to introduce the records of the Los Angeles Presbytery to show that that body had exceeded its jurisdiction. Counsel for the defense ob- jected, but the objection was overruled. When the records of the proceedings be- fore and at the time of the suspension of Rev. Mr. Howard were sought, it was found that they were not at hand. This | stopped the trial of this case until these | papers could be secured. The complaint of appeal of Elder H. T. Gordon against the ruling of the Los Angeles Presbytery was not taken up. Mr. Gordon wished to have Rev. Burt Estes | Howard act as his counsel, but this was objected to by the defense, who claimed that, as Howard had been suspended, he | was not a member of the Synod, and the appellant could only select counsel from members of that body. The matter was discussed by many, but the commission finally decided to sustain the objection. Mr. Gordon regretted this action, as he said it places him at a disadvantage before the commission, but he proceeded to pre- sent his own case. ‘Whea the complaint and appeal were read, counsel for the defense moved to dis- miss on the ground that a complaint and appeal were misjoined. This objection was sustained, but Gordon was allowed to amend his paper so as to read simple ‘“‘complaint.” ’ the Hibernia Savings Society, and $200 in The counselfor the defense then main- tained that the complainant, accordin_g to the rules of the church, had no standing, because he was not subject to the judicia- tory of which he complained, and, fur- ther, that he was under charges at the time of making the complaint. This objection thoroughly aroused the indignation of Judge Thornton, and he censured the defense severely for wishing to throw the case out of court upon its simple statement of a disputed assertion without an investigation of the truth of the matter. He maintained that the appellant could be submissive to the presbytery without being submissive to its decisions. He said it was an outrage to assume that the judg- ment of the lower court was binding until it was decided by a higher court to be unconstitutional. A majority of the commission decided to deny the objection of the defense. H.T. Gordon then began to read the part of the records of the presbytery relative to his suspension. These records go back through a long list of meetings and discussions, showing that trouble has been brewing between the First Presbyterian Church of Los Angeles and the presbytery for some time. Mr. Thornton was readiug these records when | the commission adjourned at 5:30 o'clock until to-morrow morning. The session of the synod to-nig devoted to discussions by Rev. H. C. ton of San Francisco on “Home M sions,” and Rev. John Hemphill of San Francisco on “Foreign Missions.” Dr. Minton claimed home mission- ary work to be the noblest withine the reach of a Christian, and Dr. Hemp- hill claimed that no man was en- titled to the title of Chris- tian who did not beieve in the conversion of the heathen, who was the | Coristian’s inheritance. W. H. P. Mec- Donald of Sacramento presided over the meeting. The attention of Dr. Robert Mackenzie, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of San_Francisco, was to-night called to a | published statement that he contemplated | reg:ignmg his pastorate. Dr. Mackenzie said: “I have been with that congresation | many years and hope to be with it many more. The question of my resigning has never occurred to me nor been suggested by any member of the trustees of the church, by any member of the committee on theotogical seminaries or any one else in any way connected with the church or the synod. “I cannot tell what will be done until 1 return to San Francisco, but you can say that the published statementis not war- ranted by present conditions. What the future will bring forth cannot be sur- mised.” Dr. Mackenzie is one of:the judicial com- mission appointed by the ]Presb)'terifln synod to try Rev. Burt Estes Howard. BT SCai SAN JOSE-SARATOGA LINE. Business Men Favor an Early Com- mencement of Construction. SAN JOSE, CaL., Oct. 19.—The Board of Trade committee for the promotion of the proposed electric railway to Saratoga, held a meeting this morning, and was ad- dressed by J. F. Pfetch, one of the pro- motors of the enterprise. J. P. Fay was elected secretary of the committee. It was the opinion of the committee that the matter should be hastened, as there was talk of an electric railway from Palo Alto to the bay, and if thatroad gotstarted before the Saratoga project, trade would be diverted from San Jose. S Williams® Heirs Are Unknown. SAN JOSE CAv., Oct.19.—E. W. Jones of Colusa has petitioned the Superior Court of this county for letters of administra- tion on the estate of Frederick Williams, who died at Saratoga October 14. The es- tate consists of $2000 cash on deposit with the bands of the petitioner.” The heirs of deceased are unknown. November 1 was set as the time for hearing on the petition. .

SAN JOSE, CaL., Ost. 19.—J. Diest, who has served numerous sentences in the City Prison for drunkenness, was arrested to- dey on a charge of insanity. He imagines that his friends are pursuing him and wish to hang him. NEW TO-DAY. NOT ALONE PRACTICE A Man From Stowe Who Has a Few Remarks to Make, Worthy a Fair Hearing, Because He Is Honest. “Practice makes perfect”” is a proverb so old that it may be said to be trite, That it does help skill to perform any n thing will not readily be disputed, but there are still some of the *‘old school” so bigoted that they will aver, and that, too, with an evident air of sincerity, that all a man wants in this world—no matter what his trade or profession may nty of experience and practice.’ modern science has blown all these theories to the four winds of heaven like c A good groundwork of education is, se, necessary, and a great amc 1 must back up both that and ex nee in cot order to accomplish the best results. A plain case in evidence is that of the famoug Hudson Meducal Institute (the most cele. brated curative establishment on this con- tinent, if not in the world), whose physi- cians have made such a record for the cure of all curable diseases. They have had the foundation of the most perfect educationg that has been backed up by their selection by the management for their acknowl edged skill, and of course their experienci is far greater than any twenty, or eve more, physicians in private practice coul have. Itis plain to any man who ever has gone to them for treatment. Perhaps on} example of this is sufficient here. Mr. K{ O. Taft was suffering from a very serious disease when he applied to the specialists at the institute, butisnow strong and well, That he saw skill as well as practice is cleariy shown by the following letter: STOWE, Cal., Aug. 20, 1895, Hudson Medicel Institute, San Francisco, Cal.—Gentlemen: I am feeling fine with not a sign of the d se now. Last week I was works ing hard, and sweat, and I drank a great deal of water. When I urinated I felt a coolness, but when I had rested that left me. Outside of that I feel asyoung as I ever did, which is all through the skill of the physicians of the Hudson Medical Institute. I ¢an mever say enough in praise of what they have done for L. C. me. Yours faithfully, Tart. Mr. Taft shows his appreciation clearly in this sound, common-sense view of his cure. Hardly an hour passes unless the management gets letters similar in tone to this. For there are people who are than ful when *‘a good turn” is done them. And the Hudson Medical Institute does good to every patient. Mr. A. Burton of Grass Valley says: “T] medicine that I took did me lots of good.” 8. J. Bailey of Weaverville: “ After two months’ treatment with you I feel fully restored to health.” Mr. G. H. Rice of Fort Canby, Wash.: medicine has, I think, established cure in my case.” Testimony of this sort piles up as f t ag snow does against the “weather’’ side of a building in winter, and it all goes to dem- onstrate as clearly as that the sun shines that “The Hudson Medical Institute is the best and only place to go when you are ill, and want quick and certain relief.” gLPENRy, T A FIRST-CLASS HIGH-ARM SEWING MACHINE $22.50 With 3 Drawers = AT HOME TO-MORROW IN OUR LARGE NEW STORE 1132 Market Street. o~ We were doing business in the new store all last week, but we did not want to formally invite you until all the details of re- arrangements were completed.
