Bat fashion's decrees are arbitrary and we must bow. In our stock are a lot of fine Cape Overcoats sold formerly at $15, $16, $18, $20. We've not many of them and don't want any.

Day by day, week by month by month, until 'iha months make yean, it records the misdoings of men.

Its annals are interacting. They alum the morale of the city, the ebb and flow of ovil. There has fust n(TI nr been compiiea in I 'li tl City Clerk' office a tubulated comparative ttitement of the arrest made in July and August ot 't0, '81, (T82 and and '91. This report writes down in ell the force of figures that men, as far as tLe violation of law id concerned, are improving. There have been fewer drunkards, fewer thieves fewer murderers, arrested, on-tidcring the increase in population, in the luttt three years, than in the some number of years a decade ago.

The I-wimint who Bays the world, and Louisville with it, are going to the dogs, because Rome shivering thief has stolen his overcoat, miut silence his complaining ice. Take the record of drunkenness in the 1J statement, which it printed below. For the two monthi of the three years given in the eigiti-s persons were ae-r-itvi ou that cluirge. For the SHnid "timo in the last three years the reeord ij 3,412, an incieane of 1,1 However, vht'U the incrr-ae of population amounting to over is taken into account, it is evident that fewer men and women are getting in that state ot inebriety which requires the a8ietanee of poliee-uian, titan of yore. The record of July and August of thi year over last shows 8 decided in numbers.

Of ilainn drunkcnueiu, the decrease is just as flattoring. There were 460 charges of malicious cutting in the u.v month of fc.n years ago as against 353 for a similar period in tire last three year. two months of this year oM-r List fchow that the of- fon was comntitted nineteen more time in lttii). Grand larceny shows a de- crease of nineo-en in the three years' reports and a decrease of three in the last two years' reports. Petit larceny shows an iucream of oiUy thirteen; which is a great improvement, when tho growing poiuiatioit is uiade note ot Uobbery shows a commendable falling off.

II. Thompson was ought by a Courier-Journal and asked why. lie said there were a great many whys. One eauso was tlutt tliere was more care taken ln iMulng warrants for felonies. The policemen were natural ly eager to make a felony arrest, as the Stale gave a reward of S3 for each ease.

There was a time when warranto were issued at the policeman's reinet. Thus many felony arrests were made in which there was no element of that grade of crim Tle State was robbed 0f then, sands of dollars. Now a sworn affidavit was necesxary to obtain such a warrant. However this rule had not stopped false charges. A plan ln use now, however, wa generally effective.

It was an ar-rankOaent between himself and Gen Taylor by which no officer should obtain a felony fee nolo Judge Thompson said it was a genuine esse. Another came of the improvement was the placing of tin nicer of the City Court on salaries, instead of a fee for every cae. The breaking np mi the Ifcaordarly conduct.

See them and you'll know And don't confound: us with the confounded schemes -with which other houses, that OUGHT to know bet- ter, are confounding each otherand confounding the people who buy their con-founded trash, palmed off under the "auction" racket and other dodges. And that reminds us of the following extract from the CLOTHING GAZETTE, New York, which everybody knows is an au- thority. It says in the current number: "It's a great worn-out trick of some retailers to visit a big auction sale and buy a few hundred dollar's worth of stuff, and then proclaim to the whole country that they nave bought out the magnificent and entire production of So-and-So Co. There was a lot of these would-be cor- nerers at Fechheimer, Goodkind 'Col's big sale last month. I met one of them leaving the place with a dejected look, 'Oh, the limit of that game is too high for he said.

Job Lots has enterprise, but it's got to come cheap." i Now WHICH one of the Louisville "Job Lots" got in the game and which one got "froze out?" WE didn't go to this auction sale and DON'T CLAIM to have any of the goods. Even if the QUALITY had been up to our standard, the PRICES wouldn't have suited us.

Oni morning when brought into court after a hard fpree, site said Judve, you never did let me off turn me free this time, and I'll never bo anon in this room gain." The trurh of "Old Mary's" statement in regard to Ms ever having released struck Judge Thompson. Uer request was granted.

A week, two weeks, a mouth and more pureed before it struck him that "Old Mary" making an effort! to keep her promise. One Sunday night, however, slie was found lying on the street deed drunk, thiee more she was tikeu to the etation and the Mir iron key turned. Strange to say, Old -Mary," whose haWt was to hnek and wail when site awoke from a drunken doze, made no noiwe that night. When the station-keeper opened the llNtvy iron door the next morning, letting a flood of 'sunlight in the dark, musty room, he sw that which made him stnrt back with a cry of horror.

When a child wut arrested for some petty midetnfwtnor, the mother or father was told tliat tlie lust fine would be remitted if the erring ton was souudly thrahed. In moxt cases the alternative was gladly accepted by the inotlier or father. The whippings were administer etl under the eye ot Urn ludKo in the Marslial's oflice.
