THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES. 8 MONDAY MORNTXtt. NOVEMBER 27, 1893. ATURDAY'S crowd overwhelmed us. You'd have thought there wasn't any other Clothing Store FIFTH, SOUTH ANO PASSYUNK AVENUE STORE OPEN EVERY EVENING TILL 9 in the city.

I hi The great 1 Rush The Amount of Money You'd pay your exclusive tailor for an Overcoat alone will buy you an extra outfit of our superior Rcady-to-Wear Clothing and leave you cash in pocket besides. Those stylish Swagger Overcoats for men, of the GOOD PHILADELPHIA MAKE, begin in price at $10 of course, not the best of cloth, but just as cleverly gotten up as though they cost $25. All prices from 10 to $35 Double and Single-Breasted. Here on Saturday and the kind words of scores of customers have spurred us into extra energy. But the situation is still desperate.

The biggest bills still remain to be paid. Money must roll in faster or the fight will be lost. But if we fail we'll go down fighting so hard that the great slashing of Clothing, Hats, Furnishing Goods, will startle this quiet Quaker City. The Sccret-NO OTHER STORE SELLING $55 OVERCOATS FOR $35 First quality, genuine Astrakan Montagnacs. Handsomely trimmed.

Perfect in fit The Secret-NO OTHER STORE SELLING $40 OVERCOATS FOR $28 First quality Carr's Treble Meltons. Extra long. The latest swell full backs. The Secret-NO OTHER STORE SELLING $35 STORM COATS FOR $25 Genuine Irish Frieze. Half back and sleeves best satin.

BOYS' CLOTHING suc quant3 an so varied in style you'll almost think it our specialty. Boys' Reefer Suits, Boys' Sailor Collar Suits, Boys' Double-Breasted Square-Cut Suits, Boys' Reefers, Boys' Cape Coats, Boys' Swell Swagger Overcoats best of all not a poor garment in the store, not a single one that we're ashamed of at the time of sale or months after you have purchased. Another very important consideration-- Prices. Boys' Suits, $3.50, $5, $6.50, $8 from $1.50 to $2.50 less than current prices.

Boys' Cape Coats, $4.00 to $6.50 Boys' Reefers, $3.50 to $10.00 Boys' Swell Overcoats, $8.00 to $15.00 All we ask is Comparison. our goods, learn our prices. You'll know the right place to buy.

Tie Chestnut Street Store IS THE STORE for Finest, Fashionable Overcoats. We don't charge anything for fashion-ableness only for cloth and tailoring. We're kept busy days and nights in getting enough of those long, extra long Blue and Black Kersey and Melton Overcoats: $IO, $12, $15, $18, $20, $25, $30 and $35. Of course, we've some lots of short and medium-length Overcoats that were made last season some made by mistake this that we're glad to sell for about one-half. We don't show them unless asked for.

We can't afford to sell any but the most fashionable sorts. We're afraid you might meet your friend, who might measure the wit of your tailor by the length of your coat Do you want a genuine Montagnac velvet nap Astrakan made up as it should be silk that will last so long that if it don't the maker will replace it without cost to you? One New York maker says $55; another says it can't be right if sold for less than $60. We say Go to the right store', if you want the right sort. Go, as you would to your doctor. S.

Moyer, i formerly a school teacher but now an lusur- ance agent, Is, with the modesty character- istic of his profession, pushing his candidacy with considerable vim.

Alfred I. Leb, a traveling salesman, would be willing to for- sake the road and stay at home for four years If he could get the Postrnastership. Probably the most likely candidate Is Thomas Quinn, general merchant, who Is a very competent, capable, sober and reliable business man of Catasaup.ua. Editor Randall, when he returns to full duty on the Catasauqua Dia-patch, will leave in the post office ftiOO worth of furniture and pout office fixtures. He has expended overSWOin giving Catasauo.ua a first-class room, and the money so expended ib almost a total loss.

That is the hardship which third-class Postmasters frequently suffer. The government does not provide any fixtures for third-class Postmasters, with the exception of dating stamps; and yet every cent received by a Postmaster for box rent must be forwarded to the Post Office Department under a separate report and sworn to by the Postmaster. Editor Randall, during his Postrnastership, doubled the box-rent receipts of the offices by providing proper furniture. But not one penny of the box rents con, Id he retain for his reimbursement When Iris successor appears, with commission In band, Mr. Randall must step out and allow the new Postmaster to pay whatever he may choose to pay for the fixtures which are there.

The full story of the situation at the Catasauqna Post Office Is given thus in detail because it serves to explain the situation In all of the offices of that class which are soon to become vacant. On the sam date, December 21, William J. Galloway will cease to be Post master at Parkesbureh. The salary of this office 1b only 91,100, but there are enough candidates to make the situation a little lively in the Post Office Department here. John McClelianund J.

B. E. Wright have no pressing business at this time to occupy their attention, and either one ot them would be glad to be discovered by the appointing power here. William Ful-mer, a bartender, and J. D.

Wilson, who has a popular pool room and cigar store, are candidates for the position. However, ft seems that up to date Htreet Commissioner G. M. bmoker has the best prospects. The salary of the Postmaster at Hawley Is only 81,100 per annum, and the commission of Postmaster George Am merman will expire on the fatal 21st.

The candidates are P. J. Langan, manufacturer of bottle stoppers; William M. Slattery, grocer: E. V.

Murray, wagon-maker; M.C. Westbrook, laborer, and X. J. Old field, grocer. Avery pretty plum Is the salary of 83,100 which 1b drawn by the Postmaster at Lancaster.

Elwood Grlest, of the Iqguirer, will complete his term on December), but there are no candidates for the position, so far the papers on file in the Post Office Department are concerned. Sixteen hundred dollars per annum la the salary of the Mount Carmel Post Office and George A. Htecker will finish his term December 20. The candidates for the position lire J. H.

Holllster, mine fireman; Hoi. Btrouse, mine clerk; J. H. Kauffman, merchant; Patrick Don In saloon-keeper; Rt chard Boelky, merchant, ajid Nathan Unuven-steln. grocer.

Not one of these patriots Is yet properly indorsed so that he can read his title clear to this incorporeal hereditament of political victory. Henry F. BeardMey will have been Postmaster at Montrose for four years on December 20, The salary or the office is and there Is the usual complement of candidates. Captain E. 8.

Warner fan nothing else to do at present and ts anxious for the position. K. W. Ha (lord, a success tul lawyer, Is a candf-date who has reason to look forward wiib Iridescent dreams of nn Incandescent future. Fate is at present dealing out rainbows most gorgeous for Mr.

Saftord. lie is near akin to the aeniusof victory. Editor W. C. Cnirer, however, is looming up athwart the horizon of Lawyer Watford.

There will be lively times In Montrose before this question is finally settled, although there are not so many candidates as other vacancies have brought forth. WOULD OPPOSE STATE AID. Bishop Uoane Fays the Catholic Clin oh la on Trlnl Here. Albany, November 26 Bishop Doane, of the Albany Kpiscopal Diocese, in commenting on the proposed bill to be introduced in the next Legislature providing for State aid for parochial schools, said that if he were a Roman Catholic he would oppose the bill with all his might. Bishop Doane said that the Roman Church is really on trial in this country and is cluiming to be adapting herself to American principles and habits.

She is already suspected, the Bishop said, of interfering with the political elections. If she makes open avowal of an attempt to Interfere with public education Bishop Doane thinks she will receive and, fn his judgment, deserve the unanimous verdict of condemna tion of the more than fifty millions of people In America, who, being divided into all sorts of religious associations and some having no religious position at all, are united In their determination that no religious body shall control either the elections or the education of the country.

The Secretary of the Treasury has completed his report, which Is ready for the public, and deals ably with financial questions. Uncle Ham, like other men, needs filthy lucre, and the all-important question of the day now seems to be how to raise the needful. While there Is a scarcity of the genuine article your uncle keeps his eves open for those who counterfeit the coin of the realm, and there 1b always a force of detectives at work in that branch. The "secret service'1 is a bureau in the Treasury Department, whose head is an expert detective and whose subordinates are unknown to the outside world. But the ramifications of this service reach out to the different cities of the Union and explore the secluded haunts In quiet country towns.

Up in one of the numerous rooms of the Treasury Department we find a small chamber which is a museum In which are collected the tools, pictures and work of the counterfeiters. On one side Is a case of ugly pistols; On the other, a frame full of photos of famous "shovers of the queer," while behind a glass are numberless specimens of counterfeit or "bad" money In bills and coins. To those whose curiosity Is excited by the queer exhibit the polite chief clerk Is always ready to give information. 'The annual report of theRecretary is Just completed," he explained, "but there are many little things ot Interest In the service outside of dry statistics. For lnstance.lt Is not generally known that It Is against the law to print, photograph, engrave or paint a fac-simile of a United States note or coin, but such is the case.

We have there," he continued, pointing to a large placard bearing an engraving representing a $2 bill, "a picture which was placed In a window to advertise some 82 shoes. This drawing was seised by the officers. A photographer had as an advertisement a representation of a 85 note, and this also was confiscated. "This photograph of a man, seated in a chair and held by two others, Is the picture of a famous counterfeiter. He was determined we should not catch his face, so you see he has wrinkled It up so as to be almost unrecognizable.

"One of the easiest ways of counterfeiting is to change a bill from one denomination to another say a 810 bill to a $100 note, or 8100 to $200. But as a rule iaree bills are not those most often counterfeited, for the reason that It is much easier to pass a 82 note undetected than it Is one for 81,000. A small note passes unnoticed where a large one would be challenged. "Of course the counterfeiters are fine engravers, and their work is simply wonderful, still they never get ofT as good a specimen as that put out by the government. The lines in the portraits are not near so fine.

"When a fellow has made false money his first object is to give It an old look, so It can more easily escape detection. Home do this by rubbing a new note in the sweat from an overheated horse, as this gives a Boiled, oily look, and others use coffee or tea to effect a stain. "We have In the department here a lady who Is remarkably gifted with such a delicate sense of touch that it is simply impossible to pass a counterfeit on her. One bad note, wnlch had passed the Sub-Treasury In New York, was detected and thrown out while passing through her bands. Mutilating coins is a foolish habit with some people and they do not seem to realize that they are practically withdrawing it from circulation.

For Instance, the ten-cent pieces used by ladles lor bangles, or on which initials are cut, can only be redeemed as bullion they are money no longer, as they no longer represent the coin of the realm."

From tbe New York Herald. While Secretary Herbert Is evidently alive to the needs of tbe navy he Is too wise to attempt the Impossible by recommending to Congress such an Immediate Increase In the number of ships as will awaken tbe hostility of the extra economical members. It may be that money will not be forthcoming to build even tbe one battleship and the four torpedo cruisers recommended by the Secretary; but as it Is well known that the navy Is very popular with the people, there Is a reasonable probability that Congress wilt make the necessary appropriation for building (he proposed additions to tbe service.
