Mr, Wiliam Masterson, better known as "Bat," hee been appointed a Deputy United States Marshal for this district ‘and ls expected along to take the oath of office as moon as he can pry himself loose from ‘tha toe and snow enoumber- ing salubrious Hot Springs, Ark. Thus does New York extend recognition to one whose fame is as wide as the world, for “Bat” Masterson is sald to have killed fifty men or more according to Western count, United States Marshal Henkel was enthusiastic to-day over the prospect of attaching the substantial Masterson man to hie staff. “Bat” cannot take ‘the oath of office and start on the war- path any too soon to sult Marshal Henkel. High Praise for “ “Mr, Masterson," sald the Marshal, ‘was recommended to me by some of the best men in the country—men of importance in national life. I know ay about him, He {je a capable man and will make an efficient Deputy Marshal, ‘The appdintnrent was made last week, and all that remains to make It effective is for Mr, Masterson to walk in here and take the oath.” This William Barclay Masterson was born some fifty-odd years ago in the West, There were two other boys in his family, award and James. In a measure they, too, achieved fame; but, although “Hat' was the youngest of the family, the Nght that shone on them was reflected from his exploits. Report in the West has it that “Bat” has killed twenty-eight white men, Of Greasers and Indians he hag kept byt ‘&® casual and incomplete record, | deem- ing them of no consequence, The Masterwon boys settled in Dodge City, Kan., which, alopg in the middle ‘70s, was undoubtedly the toughest set- tlement in the world, It was the dis- tributing point of the great cattle in- dustry, The floating population was wbout ten thousand a day, while the permament population did not exceed 2.500, In & few encounters of a casual nar tore the Masterson boys showed that they bad nerve, It was in 1876 that “Bat” was made Sheriff of the county, ‘The oriminal eloment was then in com- plete control, Eat, Masterson was made ‘Town Marshal of Dodge City, and upon the two brothers dependod the task of PROTESTS.

Stepping into the market at a dull season, as we did, we were able to secure very hand. some concessions from manufacturers who were not certain what their sales were going to be; and so most of the Silks in this offering are new goods, many never shown before, Of course, on some of the lines the reductions amount to only about 10 per cent, ; but there are others at 25 per cent and more below the regular prices; all of which are splendid reductions, in face of the fact that raw silk is about 25 per cent higher than a year ago, The offering includes silks for evening wear, shirt-waist suits, wash silks for Southern wear, as well ns silks for dresses for children and girls, The collection of silks for linings, petticoats and foundations is unusually large, The most decisive bargains of the Sale are | in the staple silks rarely sold under-price, Dressmakers will probably be more interested in this movement than women who wish The splendid list of silks is described in detail below: Black Dress & Lining Silks Double-width Evening Silks At 85c, worth $1,252,550 yards at 38-inch Printed Silk (Jazes, on plain white and black grounds, with twelve styles of satin and lace stripes and twonty different colored (leaiyns to select from, Desirable for evening walate, dresses and party wear, Colored Taffeta Silks Dress and Lining Qualities At €0c, worth 75c—One hundred pieces of 19-inch Lining Taffetaa; fast edge; heavy. rusting quality; {in twenty-five staple street and evening shades, as well as ivory and cream color, At 50c, worth €0c—Imported White and Ivory Taffeta Siike, At 55c, worth 8c ~21-Inch Col- ored Taffeta Lining Silks, !u dark and Nght shader.
