What, then, of November? Larger results await y greater efforts. In this golden month we will make history for our house and for general trade.

Of course their clothes are nice if they happen to fit, but even they miss it, and their ' prices are burdensome. Cheap tailoring is only paying high prices for low grades of fabrics, common workmanship and inferior trimmings. Such dealers show highly finished sample garments and deliver, if you order, ill made, poorly fitting, badly 'trimmed goods. Meantime, you have deposited say 510 and must take them, right or wrong. Most ready-mad- e M & is tempting in price, but there the pleasure ends. It's soon out of shape, falling to pieces, buttonless and disgusting. We step right in between these extremes with properly tailored M J: ' Overcoats and Suits, with an established reputation for merit, with unexcelled facilities and at prices much below equally good ordered clothes, asking less money than tailors, and ij 2 furnishing garments guaranteed to satisfy. You can try them on, see how tl:ey fit, see if the colors and shapes are becoming, critically test the tailoring and all risk is ours.

Having what the business man and the dressy man or woman, and any other clear thinking person wants, and at the right prices, is the secret of it all. The littles ones, too, can be fitted here alike. No other shoe store in the west has so great or complete facilities, nor does any other shoe store need them. There's if ' f- '( luxury in a good-fittin- g, well-mad- e shoe. That's why the Picadilly Blucher has been swept to success on the wave of popular fancy. The St. Lou"s toe (tipped or plain) follows a close i second.

Oives Vent to His Enthusiasm in Language Which Is Peculiarly His Own A Poean of Victory in Verse The Manndertngrs of the Century's Greatest Fraud. George Francis Train has again bobbed up serenely in New York, and has determined to throw off his coat, toss his high hat in the air and make politics more lively. To a reporter who found him in Madison square recently he was very talkative. "I'm right in the campaign," he began. "I may speak at Tammany hall before elec-tion day. At any rate, I shall speak again in Long Island City. We are going to elect Grover Cleveland through the Psycho influ-ence. "I am the leader of the Irish-Americ-voters, and we hold the balance of power in every state. Mark Psycho's predic-tion: Cleveland will have every electoral vote." The citizen pulled out a sheet of paper and a collection of red, black and blue lead pencils and jotting down a lot of figures, proving conclusively, at least to his own satisfaction, that his prediction was correct. "I'm a brass band, a drum corps and a lantern parade all rolled into one," declared the citizen, "and I'm going to whoop things up." "What leads you to support the Demo-cratic ticket?" asked the reporter. "In order to prevent a revolution and an-archy," said the citizen, solemnly. "An awful calamity was impending before I changed front. Gerryism, Gouldism, mo-nopoly oppressing citizens. - Force bill, reciprocity, free trade. Psycho to rescue." The citizen dropped Into verse at this point, saying: And that is why I have began To fire the Cleveland signal gun. The day of judgment now has come And the people will enjoy the fun. "The Democrats will carry every Western state. They have formed a secret alliance with the People'a party which will give them a certain victory. I have made pre-dictions for thirty years as to the occupants of the White house, and have never made an error." "How are you betting?" was asked. "Bet every cent you can raise on Cleve-land," said the citizen. 'Do not ask for odds. Give odds. You can't lose. Psycho tells me so. Pawn your watch, if necessary, and put the money on Cleveland.

"Republican party ia nearing rapids just before plunging falls. Nothing can save it. Something had to be done to prevent na-tional bankruptcy. - Cosmos leaps into the breach." Citizen Train pitched into reciprocity, and asserted that the policy had not accom-plished any good. "I wish mayor Grant would appoint me a police Justice. How I would deal with peo-ple iu Psycho style." The citizen seemed to be apprehensive that he will meet with many interruptions during his proposed campaign from politi- cal opponents, but he saya that Cosmos can-n- ot be Injured. "I have belonged to every party that ever started since 1850," said the citizen. "Might . have been mayor, governor, perhaps preei- - latter wilted like a starched shirt in a thun-derstorm. He was frightened out oi his wits and cried like a hysterical school girl. The captain looked at him In disgust and told him to go to his room and lock himself in, advice which he followed with alacrity. Then he called the crtw on deck, sat-dow-on a coil of rope, lit a cigar and said: 'Well, boys, I understand that you are going to make me walk the plank tonight and take charge of the Sea Gull yourselves.' The men looked at each other, but made no re-ply. 'Now, he conUnued, as coolly as though ordering his dinner, 'I want to say right here that I have been expecting this.

There is not a man of you that would not disgrace a yaller dog by his company. I have fixed for you. In the hold of this ship is 100 rounds of giant pow-der, connected with the male' a room by an electric wire. The moment you raise a hand to do violence on this ship he will touch the button, and there won't be a splinter of the Sea Gu'il left as large as a match. Now, you cowards, you miserable traitors,, you sneaking cutthroats, here I am ; lay a hand on me if you dare! Refuse to obey my or-ders if you see fit. Swing out your black flag whenever you please.

He walked through ' the crowd, through himself into a hammock f and was soon sleeping as peacefully as an infant. The mate kept his room, sick unto ; death with craven fear, while the men tip. toed past it, believing him to be a fiend in-carnate, eager for an excuse to blow the ship to pieces." USE FOR A COWARD. A Sea Captain Saves His Ship and Life Through a Slate's Timidity. "The nerviest man I ever saw was a Brit-ish sea captain," observed Frank Millisb, a member of the St. Louis Story Tellers' club, of which a Qlobe-Democr- at man is a member. "He was an old schoolmate of mine and in-vited me to make a voyage with him from Liverpool to Rio Janeiro. As I was in poor health and needed a vacation I eagerly closed with the offer. lie had a crew of nineteen men, all Portuguese except the first mate. He waa worsw than a Portuguese he was a coward. The ship was a swift sailer aud we carried a valuable cargo of British merchau. dise. When about 500 miles from our destina-tion one of the men revealed to the captain a plot that had been formed among the crew to murder him, together with the first mate and myself, make the port of New Orleans, and there dispose of the ship and cargo. The .civil war was raging at the time, the Confed-eracy waa ia sore need of supplies, ships and able seamen, and at such times officials are not inclined to be captious. It meaut $3000 apiece for the men. "It waa now 4 o'clock in the afternoon and the devilish plot was to be put in execution that night. The captain called the first mate ' into his room sad stated the situation. The ronl. Unless they toot their own horn they will never rise to eminence in this world. A huge m a tiff was employed recently in this city by an enterprising drummer to ad-vertise a well-know- n brand of nerve-soothe- r. The Morgan, Templeton and Knutsford hotels are engaged in a spirited but friendly rivalry to secure the good will of the trav-elers. S. P. Rounds, jr., formerly manager of the Tribune Job Printinij company of this city, is now the traveling representative of a leading Chicago printing ink establishment. The McCornick block is the abiding place of three knights of the grip. Their sample rooms are on the seventh floor, which an irreverent wag says is as near heaven as they will ever get. The report has reached this city that Jack Shannon, the San Francisco cigar dealer, has fallen heir to a snug estate in Ireland. Jack has many friends here v. ho will rejoice to learn of his good fortune. Drummers should adopt the golden rule as a guide. ''Do unto others as you would hare them do unto you," should occupy a permanent place on the lid of their sample case. The Eastern drummer has succeeded in making it rather lively in this city for his Pacific coast brother. For some reason, most likely silunanism, the 'Frisco merchants are now about twenty-fiv- e years behind the times. Charley Bell's pleasant face is missed in business circles. About this - time ho is 6eeing the Bostonese elephant under the I guidanco of the happy-go-luck- y council-me- n who painted this quiet city red about nine months ago. Bob Ingersoll is billed to deliver a lecture for the special benefit of the commercial travelers who make Chicago their head-quarters. "Pagan Bob," as a Methodist preacher onco called the great agnostic, is a prime favorite with the fraternity. Ted Marks, the interest-excite- r of the "Gloriana" comedy company, was at one time the most successful cigar drummer on the Pacific coast. His strong card was the "Pink of Perfection" brand, and under his skillful manipulation it enjoyed a phenome-nal sale. In the latter part of the '70's the firm of Walker Bros, of this city was one of his heaviest customers. IvNirTlITSOFTHECrRIP The Year 1892 Has Been a Profit-able One. A FUTURE FULL OF PROMISE.

The drummers are deserting Zion one by one, and ia a short time only the veterans of the home guards will remain. Taken as a whole, the year 1S92 has been a good one for tbem, and it is safe to assert that it has been the best, in a business sense, since 1&8J. In that year, under the influtnee of the boom fever which invaded every city and village iu Utah, the merchants ordered heavily and the result was that 1800 and 1891 saw them striving to unload their rapid-ly growing out-of-dat- e stocks. Their shelves were finally cleaned, and this year has witnessed the replenishinir of their wares. The uucertainties, too, of iS'X), have given place to that confidence which only expe-rience begets, and the salesmen are assured that few, if auy, notes will be protested, and that the polite request, "please remit," will not have to be made a second time. For Utah is now on the topmost wave of pros- - ferity and will eventually land on the shores "assured success." ' A Tall Poker Yarn. Several drummers were recently discuss-ing, in the rotuuda of tho Knutsford, the ' mysteries of poker, and of course numerous fairy stories about big pots were recalled and properly digested. Among the story tellers was a Caiifornian and he regaled his hearers with an interesting yarn of how W. C. Ral-- . stou, tho most enterprising sport that ever colled the Golden state his hom. won $200,-00- 0 from Sharon, the well-know- n millionaire of unsavory fame. It appears that Ralston won that vast sum with a pair of tens. They were playing jackpots and Sharon opened. Ralston and two or three others stayed. There was some light chipping of one or two hundred several times around, when Ralston strengthened his play and began raising by thousands. Sharon and Ralston soon had the play to themselves and it was not' loug before there was close to $150,000 in the pot. Then Sharon made a raise with a $50,000 counter. Ralston studied only a moment and then came back with a $100,000 raise. Sharon did not take long to decide his play. "I quit. Bill," he said, and shuffled his hand in the deck. Ralston was o delighted over having made his bold-playin- g bank partner lay down that he spread his hand disclosing a pair of tens. 'Sharon," concluded the truthful drummer, 'never told what he held iu that hand until Ealston's death. It was a pair of jacks." The story, perhaps, is out of place in this column, but is given for the purpose of showing that occasionally a happy-go-iuck- y liar will creep into the pure and undefiled ranks of commercialdom. The Futore Tnll of Promise. Many sanguine persons believe that the day ia not far distant when the wholesale bouses and manufacturing industries of Zion will be multiplied three-fol- d. This de-lightful prediction they base on the assur-ances that freight rates will soon be reduced to a figure which will enable this city to compete with Omaha and Denver for tho trade of the inter-mountai- n country, and that a competing line to the coast will be in existence before the expiration of five years.

Schemes to Beat Scalpers Heine IMs-enss- ed by Officials A Railroad With a Two-Fo- ot ftange-- A Pro-nounced Case of Kapid Transit Headlight Flashes From Far and Near Sources. Manager Leeds of the Traffic association of California at the first annual meeting of the association recently held In San Francisco, had the following to say of the proposed competing road: The organization of the San Francisco & Great Salt Lake railroad to build a road from this city to Salt Lake City, Utah, and oc-cupy the valleys of this state, is another work iu which we have taken an active part. I regard this as a very important move and worthy of a special report, because its effect for good upon the commerce of this whole coast will be more g than all other things combined, because it will only emphasize by several - fold the benefits which come from 6ea compe-tition and introduce other elements of sea commerce which are impossible without it. If it is constructed, owned and operated in the Interests of this state it will bring a revolution, the benefits of which are beyond computation. It will settle for all time the question that the Pacific ocean is the front door to whole Pacific slope, and I desire to go on record now, as saying nothing else which lies within our reach will accomplith this so well. It must be apparent to every man who has an interest in the welfare of the state that this would be worth many times the cost of the road in the material wealth of this country. Such a road would prepare the way for us to take full advantage of the at Jersey City. The Baldwin compound and the "Johnny Bull," an English engine, demonstrated their utility as drawers of heavy trains, but did not show up so well on speed for a mile, as they covered the dis-tance in sixty-thre- e and sixty-fiv- e seconds respectively. The Schenectady engine did the mile in just fifty-thre- e seconds, which is equal to seventy-tw- o miles an hour. This was con-sidered good time, but the Pennsylvania's own No. 34, mads in her own shops, did better, doing the mile in forty-seve- n seconds. A Two-Fo- ot Gauge. A railroad with a gauge of but twenty-fou-r inches is now building in North Carolina. It is to run from Hot Springs, near the Ten-nessee border, to Laurel river, a distance of twenty-fou- r miies. Its course is through a very mountainous country, touching also a fine farming section. The main purpose of its construction is to get out the timber on about 70,000 acres of land. A type of mogul engine is being built for the little road. There is a railroad of the same small gauge now being operated in Maine and one or two in the Western states. Headlight Flashes. The Davenport, Iowa & Dakota railway was sold recently to satisfy a mortgage of $630,000. It is hinted in railway circles that the Reading is now seeking control of the Balti-more & Ohio. The Chicago fc Western railway company will issue improvement bonds to the amount of $2,500,000. The sixty-tw- o miles of the Sioux Falls, Yankton fe Kearney railroad, from Sioux Falls to Yankton, will be graded this year and ironed next spring. George C. Smith, assistant general mana-ger of the Missouri Pacific Railway com-pany, has sent 110,000 to the families of the men who were killed in the affray with the Dal tons at Coffey ville, Kan. Henry E. Gilpin, named as superintendent of the Erie's Western division, began work for that company In a subordinate position not more than five years ago, and owes his promotion to his ability and marked capacity for work. President Roberts of the Pennsylvania has returned from his annual inspection trip of the road. He says that the physical condi-tion of tho line is excellent and that the out--' look for business in the West is "the best in the world." Wabash gross earnings for September were $1,406,142, an increase of $50,000. Net earn-ings were $405,606, an increase of $41.74. From July 1 to September 30 the gross earn-ings decreased $34,593 and net earnings de-creased $37,511. great Nicaragua canal when completed, and only when the road is completed will it be made apparent how much more with an extended trade horizon we really need the canal. I believe that a full measure of greatness for this city and the state of Cali-fornia will be assured when thia railroad is completed. A Schema to Beat Scalpers. All kiads of schemes to prevent the scalp-ers from owning the earth during the World's fair are now discussed by passenger men. With things as they are now the scalp-ers would control the situation during that period of cut rates, and the roads recegnize the fact that something must be done to pre-vent it. Some of the plans discussed are very radi-cal and one of them would be almost a death blow to the scalpers. Many railroad men re-gard it favorably.and it is possible that some-thing ot tho kind may be adoptod. The plan is to advertise that all the roads will redeem unused return coupons at its Chicago office at one-ha- lf of what was paid for them. This would prevent anyone hunting up the festive scalper. The scalpers have always managed to get around every plan to injure them, however, and will make the light of their lives over the World's fair business. It is going to be a very pretty match between tho wits of the general passenger agents and the wits of the brokers. A Mil in Forty-Sere- n Seconds. For the purpose of discovering what style of machine would be best adapted for haul-ing fast trains to the World's fair next year, four locomotives of the Pennsylvania rail-road recently made a mile on the Jersey meadows. They were the engines from the different parts of the system between New York and Pittsburg. Each engine drew two cars. They started from the terminal station a i , TOO MANY COURTS MARTIAL. The War Department Speaks on This The Subject. annual reports of the department commanders for the year just closed indi-cate largely au increase in the number of trials by courts martial.- - It is accounted for in the department of the Platte by the insti-tution of summary courts and a manifest willingness on the partof the company com-manders to rely upon the court for the cor-rection of all offenders, avoiding any respon-sibility which might be incurred by deal-ing summarily with th3 enlisted men. This matter was made the subject of ex-plicit recommendations by Generals Brooke and Merritt. and as a result an order has issued during the past week from the head-quarters of the army embodying substantial-ly the following comments: The Increasing number of trials by sum-mary court, and the trivial character of many cases tried, indicate that commanding officers frequently fail to make use of their power. They are, therefore, reminded that it is their duty to use all reasonable means to prevent the occurence of delinquencies rather than to punish them. In the discharge of this - duty they may not only deprive un-worthy soldiers of privileges, but take such steps as may be necessary to enforce their orders. It is believed that the proper use of this power will make it unnecessary to bring before the summary court many of the trifling delinquencies which are now made the subject of trial ; indeed, that such trifling delinquencies will, in a great measure, be prevented. Department commanders will see that their subordinate commanding offi-cers fulfill their duties in this regard. EMERSONI'S SENTIMENT. Hi Dying: Wish Regarding Ills Wif Wearing Colors. The late Ralph Waldo Emerson had a bit of sentiment in regard to his wife, which in-stead of terminating with his life was, in ac-- ' cordance with his wishes, perpetuated by his widow. About a year after the death of ' the great philosopher I visited Concord and attended a meeting of the Saturday Evening club at the Emerson homestead, just serosa the road from where I was staying. j I was presented to Mrs. Emerson, a placid. , looking old lady, whose strong features were softened by the snow-whit- e hair which showed under the tiny square of sheerest muslin which she wore. The strings of this cap were brought together at the back of the bead and fastened with a bow of blue ribbon the exact shade of the. large turquoise brooch which held the muslin collar in front over a plainly-mad- e gown of black silk. ' The brooch and the bow of blue ribbon ; were the sole bits of color Which Mrs. Emer-son had worn for so many years that when dying her husband urged hia wife, instead of putting them forever out of sight, to wear them in memory of the pleasure he had always experienced when his eyes rested upon them. Kate Field? Washington. - The Outcome. Major Stofah had been in attendance at a social festivity, or "function," as be called it, the night before, and the next morning a couple of his friends met on the street cor-ner. "I understand," said the one who had not been there, "that the major sang for the guests at Colonel Culpepper's last night." "Yes," responded the other with a sigh. "How did fie come out?" "Oh, he didu't come out at all; everybody else did though," and the two friends looked at each other in a silence that might have been felt, if the major had been there to feel it. Detroit Fret Fress. NAMES OF AMERICA. This Continent Has Had Several Titles. In these quadro-centenni- days it is worth while to recall the fact that tho continent now named America has gone at one time or another by a great many names. The no-tion that Columbus held, of finding a west-ward passage to India by way of the Atlan-tic, is recorded in the names New India and India Occidental, found upon old maps as indicating the land discovered by Columbus. America Mexicana was an old name of North America, as American Peruviana was of South America. Then Brazil was for a time the name applied to the Southern con-tinent. Finally, the origin of the name America has beeu gravely disputed, though the weight of testimony leaves practically no doubt that it comes from the Christian name of Amerigo Vespucci. Some early authorities, however, gravely contended that the name came from the Pe. ruvian word Amaru, meaning the sacred symbol of the cross, made of a serpent and a stick, and the suffix "ca" meaning country. Thus derived, America means the land of the holy animal. The Jollity of Tooth and Age. Externally, the jollity of aged men has much in common with the mirth of chil-dren; the intellect, any more than a deep sense of humor, has little to do with the matter; it is, with both, a gleam that plays upon the surface and imparts a sunny and cheery asDect alike to tho green branch and gray, mouldering trunk. In one case, how-ever, it is real sunshine; in the other, it more resembles the phosphorescent glow of decaying wood. m a e I Precautions. "Julia," said Dr. Pillingcare, sitting down at the table and glancing critically at the various dishes placed thereon, "have the water and milk been boiled?" "Yes." "And the forks, and spoons and plates newly scalded?" "Yes; you can feel them hot yet." "Is the table linen fresh from the laun-dry?"
