It is not possible to set forth in the papers all the particulars that you want to know concerning any class of goods it is not, at any rate, within the compass ot our arf to set them forth so as to satisfy your desire to know, and yet be interesting enough to keep you reading until you have got the facts.

For this reason we take a single item at a time, and tell about that. To day we're going to ask you to read the easy facts about one pillow linen, not very coarse, not very fine, and so commonplace that the quicker we get to the interesting part of the tale the better. We have told you before that the celebrated linen makers sell ten times as much linen as they make; that they buy good linen of obscure makers makers who hav'n't yet got into direct connection with the trade of the world and sell this linen as their own. Probably every maker does this as soon as he can seli more than he makes. It is not considered unfair in the trade.

Indeed a brand means, not "We made it," but "We approve it." We go to linen makers all over Europe and look over the samples they show us We order all the linens we want from the makers who seem to make our money go furthest. It isn't to be supposed that we choose wisely in every case. Our linen buyer is human like the rest of the linen buyers. Me sees all the linen makers that are worth seeing; so he thinks. He judges between them as well as he can.

Other linen buyers do the same. Perhaps he is as shrewd and diligent as any of them, and judges as well as any of them, and buys as well as any of them. That is to say, perhaps our linens cost us as little, quality for quality, as those of any merchant who buys in Europe. But still we never do as well as we might do. Now, to get back to the particular piece of linen that set us to thinking in this way, we had it last year at 50 cents a yard, which was cheap, as things go.

We'll tell you how we know that it was cheap. Somebody, who wanted a large quantity of such linen, got samples and prices from us and from others, including the wholesale houses, comparedthem and bought ours. Not only that, but, when our sample was shown to a wholesale dealer, he said that we couldn't supply such a linen at the price. But we did. That same liruen is here now at 45 cents a yard, 5 cents less than last year! It illustrates the difficulties and uncertainties of buying to tell how we saved that ten per cent.

Last year we thought we bought that linen of the maker; but we didn't; we bought it of a maker of linens, but not of the maker of that particular linen. This year we got behind that supposed maker and saved his profit. How are we to know, when a maker shows us a hundred samples, which he makes and which he is trying to sell for somebody else? But the way to get linens for the least money is to rummage all over the linen making regions and pick out the best there are; and the chances are that the maker wjll sell for less money than the dealer. But even that isn't always true. Now, this 45 cent linen has taught us quite a lesson; and you.

Your part of the instruction is to do in Philadelphia what we do in Europe. See samples everywhere, compare, and choose. John Wanamaker.

Thomas Goodwin, a deaf mute, was put on trial in Judge Bidule's Court of the Quarter Sessions yesterday on the charge of having stolen two shirts from a laundry on North Second street, kept by Joseph Thompson. Goodwin bad a piece of Irregularly broken slate, on which he wrote bis name and the fact that he could not speak or hear. Assistant District Attorney Kinsey wrote upon the stone the details of tho charge. The deaf mute wrote a long and scrawling defense. Neither Mr.

Kinsey nor any of the officers of the court could make it out. The mute tried again. The result was no better. The mute disconsolately rubbed out all his defense aud asked in plain large letters to be provided with an Interpreter. Mr.

Kinsey asked if there was any ono present who was acquainted with the sign language. Very much to his surprise a young man among the auditors rose and said, "lam, sir." The young man explained that ho had a deaf and dumb sister aud bad grown so skilful that he could run out sixty words a minute. The prisoner apparently understood hat was happening. Ills eyes danced with pleasure. The interpreter was sworn.

Mr. Thompson took tl stand and testitied that the deaf mute had come into his laundry and made some motions which he could not understand. A moment after the defendant bad gone out a boy came in and said that the deaf mute bad got away ith two shirts. Thompson run out after him. The mute threw away a buudle which Thompson picked up and found to contain his shirts.

The defendant was arrested later. The interpreter ran olf the allegations on his fingers. The defendant with his hands and feet and face and eyes made an apparently indignant reply. What does he say?" Inquired the prosecuting officer." "He says it's all lies," replied the interpreter. Well, tell him totukc the stand." A half dozen twists ot the interpreter's fingers brought the deaf mule in haste to the witness stand and set him going with his whole body.

The interpreter made three or four wiid motions under his nose. What does nil, that mean inquired the prose cuting officer. It means shut up," replied the interpreter, with a haggard look. "Oh! Well, what does he say?" He says that he did not steal any shirts; that the buudle hich he threw away contained an old hat, and that ho is us innocent as a baby." The jury, however, returned a verdict of guilty. The Judge said that before imposing sentence he would have inquiry made us to the defendant's antecedents.

'Tiie interpreter ran olf the message upon his finger. Tiie prisoner sadly replied. What does he answer?" the interpreter was asked. He says thank you, but it's too bad."

GR1LL0N BT (f ROYAL PSWctS The Law Committee Recommends an Increase in His Salary Legislation Approved. How about Flipper asked General Snow den, chairman of the Councils' committee on law, as Common Councilman John M. Walton, speaking iu support of hi6 ordinance providing for the appointment of an examiner with power to go into the office ot any department of the city and inspect the books of the inspectors in the army and said that peculation there was unknown.

He was detected on the same day on which he performed his embezzlement," said Captain Walton. The consideration of the ordinance was referred to a sub committee. At the instance of the City Solicitor the committee decided to favorably report an ordinance to indemnify the bondsmen of Ex City Treasurers Delos P. Southworth and Joseph J. Martin in the matter of the appeal from taxation by the State upon the city loans.

The amount claimed by the State for these taxes during Mr. Southworth's term during that ot Mr. Martin, Mr. West explained that the suit had been formally instituted against the Treasurers, although they were in no way concerned, and that their bondsmen, at his instance, had consented to cuter security in order that he might bring the ease to trial iu the Dauphin Couuty Court, where it is now pending. The chairman was also Instructed to favorably report an ordinance instructing the City Solicitor to confess iudgment noon the claims of citv employes tor their salaries during the months of January aud reoruary.

ine object is to prevent miaauon growing out of the vacancy In the Controller's office. It was resolved to favorably report on ordinance raising ttio salary of the Chief Commissioner of Highways from 1,500 to Sfi.OUO per annum, and requiring that he should be a competent civil and mechanical engineer. An ordinance "authorizing the Park Commission to proceed by suit against all persons polluting the Schuylkill river was under consideration, wheu Mr. Harumett raised the point of no quorum and tiie committee adjourned. There had been all along only eight members present.

THE BEAUTY'S SLTT ENDED. No Verdict Reached Up to the Adjournment of the Court. MissMou (ague's suit against Circus Manager Forepaugh was given into the hands of the jury yesterday. Her fate had not been deerded on when Judge I'eirce adjourned the court. The beauty remained iu court all day, as usual, a bright star to the eyes of the usual throng of men and boys.

She wore a new light colored jacket, very tight, which emphasized the imperfect lines of her shoulders, brown pigskin gloves, a black velvet jaunty hat, with dark ostrich plumes, and a dark silk dress, trimmed with lace and beads. Flashing diamonds were pendant from her ears. HcrSl.OUOsealskindulnian was thrown carelessly across her knee. She wiped her very red lips with a dainty silk handkerchief every time she laughed at the witticisms of her counsel. Shehadasa background an elderly lady, who has never taken a prize for beauty; a little girl in a flaring, brown beaver hat, and a young man with banged and scolloped hair.

No testimony was given, the entire day being occupied by the speeches of counstd and tiie Judge's charge. The charge was directed altogether to the bald question of breach of contract and the Court did not bestow a word upon beauty. After the adjournment of the court Miss Montague went over to the oflice ot her counsel at ease, in the belief that the jury would give a verdict in her favor. It was said that, although the court room was jammed during the entire trial, not one woman appeared among the auditors. Detectives Foil Confidence Men.

Two men who were passing iu aud out entry ways on Fourth street, near Library, yesterday afternoon, attracted the notice of Detectives Miller, Gray and llulfish, who, suspecting that they were confidence operators and were watching for victims, arrested them on Library street. The' prisoners proved to be James K. Coolcy, alias Howard, of New York, aud John Hendricks, aiias tluinn, who refused to state his residence. Cooley was identified asa professional confidence sharper and bogus commission merchant, lie was arrested iu Philadelphia during the Centennial summer and sent to New York to answer the charge of obtaining goods on consignment by false pretence, swindling a number of agjieullur ists who had sent him butter, lard and cheese. Two years ago he was the means of getting a Philadelphia commission merchant in trouble through the purchase of a lot of cheese which Cooley obtained in an underhand way from New York dealers, so it was alleged.

The prisoners were taken to tho Centra! Station. Spurious Canadian Notes Circulating. A number of merchants and storekeepers iu this city have been victimized by means ot 410 notes of the Consolidated JJank of Montreal, Canada, and complaints reached police headquarters yesterday from some of the losers. The police have an explanation of the matter which shows how the professional sharpers who are palming off the spurious notes come hito possession of them. The bank hud a large number of the notes printed about a month ago.

Tlicy were unsigned and had blank spaces for the names of W. Irwin and J. Ilineks, the chief officers. A bundle of these blanks was stolen while being taken to tho bunk from the lithographers end these arc the notes which have fallen into the hands of the rascals, who have forged the signatures and set thein flout in Canada and over the border. The bank, on discovering the loss, had a new design pro pared and outlawed the issue which was stolen and destroyed the blanks which were not stolen.

Specimens of the forged notes are ut police headquarters. Ilurlai's Who Locked tho Doors. Frank Hamilton and liis ile, who reside at llfil Morris street, were aroused early yesterday morning by the noise made by burglars, who had broken into the kitchen. Mr. Hamilton ran down stairs, but discovered that the intruders had locked the intermediate doors, liy the time he had run up the alley to the kitchen door the thieves had decamped out of the back way, leaving everything topsy turvy.

Mil Liflfiiw run ouuo mu in MID HIS NAME AGAIN SENT TO THE SENATE The Nominal ion Promptly Acted Upon by a Tote of 38 to 4 Mr. Page's View of the Situation Yesterday's Artu nieuttj In Court.

Special Dispatch to The Times. Harbisburg, February 7. Senator Grady having been unable to induce any of the four Republican Senators who had voted to reject S. Davis l'age for the Coutroller ship to move reconsideration the scheme of stealing a march on the Governor was not tried when the Senate met this morning. The blushing Rev.

Private Secretary Everett came in at niue minutes past twelve, when two thirds of the session was over, and stood modestly at tho door, trying to catch Anting Presiden Reyburu's eye. That usually vigiknt Senator apparently did not see him, however, for tho Reverend Doctor stood there six and one half minutes before he got the opportunity to go through the celebrated duet with Reyburn. Everybody knew what he carried in his baud. Half an hour later Clerk Pearson amused the Senate in reading tho nomination of Pago by purposely changing his way of doing it. Ho gave the short sound to iu Page's middle name.

SKXATOII ADAMS' REGRET. Rcyburu announced that under the rules the nomination would lie over for five days, but Davies moved to go into executive session to confirm. Iu support of the motion Adams, of Philadelphia, expressed regret that he had been absent upon the occasion of the other vote. He desired to appeal strongly to Senators beyond Philadelphia to consider tho interests of the city, whose whole machinery was likely to be stopped should the Senate not confirm. Even if Republican Senators looked at tho matter in a political light they should not object, because tho Senate's action would not all'ect Mr.

Tag gait's chances ono way or the other. Cicorgo Handy Smith was extremely sorry that Adams had not been on haud a week before with his advice. Smith would vote for Page, but not because he was under anybody's thumb. McKniiflit was puzzled to know what he should do, and so he wouldn't vote at all. It was nearly 1 o'clock and the Democrats feared adjournment without action.

Hess indicated this fear to the Chair, but Reyburn assured him that the order of the day would not be culled. Amholt, of Allegheny, who, with Reyburn, Vpperman and I.autz, had voted to reject, set the Senate in a roar by a declaration, iu Teutonic accents, that he would "in thtecaso be tho golden haired angel of conciliation and cease to be the bald headed bono of contention." REYBURN GAME TO THE LAST. Davies' motion being carried Adams moved to confirm. Reyburn called tho Lieutenant Governor to tho chair and took the floor to fight Pago to the last; not that he had any personal objection to him, he said, for Page was a gentleman of high standing and ability, hut the speaker believed that the Coutrollership was a city office and Pattison had no right to interfere with it. At this moment, he said, the question was probably being argued in Philadelphia, and the Senate, by confirming, would only put another disturbing influence upon the affair.

Let us wait, and should the Courts decide that the oflice is a county one, then confirm Page." Adams closed the debate by remarking that, while he was inclined to agree with Reyburn ililit the oflice was a city one, yet he felt that he should not lake a judicial position in regard to the question. Page was then confirmed by a vote of 38 to 4, the nays being from llerr, Lautz, Vpperman and Reyburn, all Republicans. Ain bolt was the only one of the originally stubborn four who now voted yea. Those present but declining to vote were Kccfcr, Me Knight and McNeill, all Itepublieans. Tho absentees were Hull and Wagner, Democrats, and Jlyliu and Sill, Republicans.

How Mr. Pago Heard (ho News His View of the Situation. S. Davis Pago first received information that his nomination had been confirmed from an evening paper. He expressed no surprise at the result, nor had he been surprised at any previous action upon tho part of the Senate Ho professed to have no knowledge whatever concerning the matter and should not speak except through counsel, and as yet he had not even consulted his counsel.

"When a man is his own counsel he has a fool for his client," is an axiom Mr. Pago believes in. Having, as a citizen, the welfare of the city at heart, and, as a politician, a proper regard for what might be tho effect of the whole affair, he hoped for the best results, whatever they might be. At present and until the Courts decide tho question of the right of Councils to elect a Con trailer he matter would seem to he iu statu quo. At the very instant of tho Governor's induction to tho executive he had nominated him, and if the Councils had not tho right to elect he was the Controller, and Messrs.

Charles Wheeler, president of tho Second Xational Rank, and John C. llullit, attor iK'v at law, would become his bondsmen. CONTESTING TAGG ART'S CLAIM. Tho Arguments Advanced on the Petition for a Writ of Ono Warranto. AVliile the Senate at Harrialntrg gave an additional twist to the (angled skein of the Coutrollership litigation yesterday, the Court of Common I'leas, No.

3, was grappling with the intricaciesof the question, of which they have as yet been unable to unravel the tangled meshes. At ten o'clock yesterday morning the issue raised by the demurrer was called for argument by Judges Ludlow, Fiulcttcr and Yerkes, when Solicitor West and Assistant City Solicitor Morgan answered on behalf of the city, William Henry Rawle for Mr. Taggjirtand Charles Henry Jones and James K. Uowcn on behalf of the Attorney General of the State, in whose name the petition for the writ of quo warranto had been filed. Goweu announced that, ith the nnnroval of the opposing counsel, it had been agreed that the judicial inquiry in the proceedings should be confined to the right of Councils to till the vacancy iu the oflice of Controller.

Mr. Jones, of counsel for the Stale, contended that by the fourth article of the Constitution of Pennsylvania it was provided that the Controller should be embraced the county officers; that tiic fundamental law of the b'tate has so provided, and that there is no power in the courts to alter a provision so mandatory in character. It was urged that by section 14 of article 8 of the Constitution tho date of the general election was fixed for the Tuesday following the second Monday of November iu each year as the dny on which the County Controller should be elected; while under section 3 of the same article it was provided the city officers should be elected on the third Tuesday of 1'eb ruary. Ily the organic law of the State, as well as the act ot lf7t, it was contended the county officers receive their pay without the intervention of Councils, as decided in the case of Cantliu against Hancock. 'J here Is a provision in the act," said Judffc Ludlow, "that County Auditors, or County Commissioners, shall be elected iu a manner, tmd is followed by this sentence 'Any vacancy iu the county officers shall be filled by the Court of Common Plea's of the county In which the vacancy shall occur by uppointmeut of an Are the words Controller and Auditor syuouoinous?" inquired the Judge.

"Yes," responded Mr. Jones, "and by the act of 1S7I the Governor can till the vacancy in the office of Controller." Hut," said Judge Ludlow, the Legislature can sweep away the charter of tho city and give it a new one, though I hope 11 will never attempt to govern the city from llarrisburg." City Solicitor West arose at tho conclusion of Mr. Jones' argument, uud, addressing the Court, said he appeared on behalf of the municipality and of one of its officers. Judge Ludlow replied that the Court would listen to his argument with pleasure, but that he must speak as counsel for Mr. Taginirt and not as the representative of the city.

Mr. West, however, proceeded to discuss the debates ot the Constitutional Convention, urging that it was merely to recover all fiscal power that the consolidation act of 1S51 was passed. Mr. Knwle, representing the interests of Mr. Tag gart, said that the act of Wi4 having provided that the city should elect a Controller the office becanio subject to the provision that any vwcaiicy should be tilled by Councils.

Mr. Kawle insisted that neither the Constitution nor the act of l.sTii controlled tho office. In his opinion, all that the Constitution did was to provide that certain officers should be constitutional ollicersiind that (he Legislature should carry out the provision there indicated by nroper legislation. "The Governor has never yet issued a com mission to a Controller," said Mr. liawle, "since flic act of ISM, as he has to the other county officers." "Neither has he to tho District Attornev," mildly suggested Mr.

Jones, "who is unquestionably a county officer." James K. (iovven, senior counsel for the State, made the concluding argument. He contended that tho Constitution did not contemplate tho abolition of tho office of City Controller, but merely that It should bo taken out of one class and put Into another without Altering the duties to be performed. It had been an especial object of the Constitutional Convention to avoid any special legislation regarding the city of Philadelphia. If the office of Controller," said 'Mr.

tiowen, is to be regarded as belonging to thecitv, why did It elect a Mayor, Cily Solicitor nnd a Receiver of Taxes at the February election immediately after the adoption of the new Constitution ond not elect a Controller unlil the following November?" Mr. Gowen thought that the difference in the political complexions of the Governor and Councils had precipitated the difficulty, but had Governor Iloyt nominated Mr. Pallisou's successor no such controversy would have arisen. If the Controller was not a county officer, then there had been no legal election for ten years. The act of ISTiJ," concluded Mr.

Gowen, provided for the retention of certain county officers cxlstinK at the time; yet, ff that net had said it should be a county office! no possible ingenuity would have led tho lawyers on the other side to contend that Councils had the right to fill the vacancy." The Court will probably announce its decision on Saturday. Vol! Thick Heads, heavy stomachs, biliousness Wells' May Apple l'ills cathartic. 10 and li5c.
