i I SATURDAYMORNINGt May 21, 1898. Our First Saturday In the New Building. It will be a day of delightful surprises to the thousands who will be here. We repeat the shopping list published yesterday, but there are two very important matters we wish to tell you about this morning briefly. The first is, we would like you to see our Patriotic Window just put in.

You will appreciate it very much. The second important item is, that we have secured the exclusive sale of a new dress fabric that will be immensely popular owing to the popular name given it. It is named Ma'nila Cheviot. I. Patriotism being expressed in so many admirable fancies, we know of nothing more satisfactory than the popular Manila.

Cheviot. It is an exquisitely pretty blue and we name for it the Low price of 75 cents a yard. First aisle, left of main aisle, first floor. Experience Is the great teacher. The true test of a medicine's merit la In the taking: and result thereof.

Thousands of -women are to-day telling to others the story of their cures by Hood's Sarfaparllla. If you are "half-sick." ailing, weak, weary, nervous or suffering from Impure blood, such hearty indorsement should lead you Into similar satisfactory experience. As Mrs. Travis was led to take Hood's Sarsaparllla by another woman's testimonial, so let the frank statement below convince you of the merit of Hood's Sarsaparllla and lead you to take It and rejoice in restored health.

President Coleman, of the Cornwall Lebanon railroad, was at the camp early till morning antictpatlve of another unexpected order lo' transport regiments. But when at 3 o'clock no word had been received he lost patience for once, sent the iraanmea home and declared there would be no movement of troop whether sorters came to-ntght or not He said he would take advantage of the contract clause 'agreed to by the Government and the. Pennsylvania railroad, allowing the latter 13 hours margin of time In moving regiments. Heretofore this clause has not been observed, but on this occasion 3Jr. Coleman said that the Government would have to wait on the railroad, since the railroad had watted on the Govem- ment so often and then been fooled.

At 11 clock to-night the otnclals of the Cornwall Lebanon railroad ad- -mltted they had again received orders to have another train and crew ready far the shipment of troops to-morrow. It was stated orders to the regimental commanders were not received to-night, be- cause all the telegraph wires to Mt. (J rem a were down as a result of a storm.

Politics nd the Tenth. A curious explanation of how the Tenth was chosen has been offered by a man who is conversant with the Washington end of the successful applications. It Is claimed politic had everything to do with sending th Tenth above all other commands In Pennsylvania to such an out-of-the-way corner of the earth.

Colonel Hawkins Is a candidate for State (Senate from his district, and the opposition has "been putting up a stiff fight against him. Sending him to the Philippines is reasoned "as being the easiest way of putting him "out of reach when the nomination is made two months hence.

She endured untold pain, and suffered the breaking out of three running sores. I I thought from the looks of the leg the only relief would come from cutting It off. "She decided to take Hood 8arsaparllla again, thinking it might prevent the case from becoming worse. Her treatment resulted in healing two of the sores, while a third continued to require attention. She clung steadfastly to Hood's Sarsaparllla, used Hood's Pills, gave special attention to cleansing the eruptions and applied Hood's Olive Ointment.

For a time the discharge of matter was more profuse than She continued the treatment uninterruptedly, and now the limb Is to all appearances as healthy as ever. "Our experience proves that when Hood's Sarsaparllla la taken faithfully and persistently it will do Its work thoroughly and effect a perfect cure. We have waited some time before writing this voluntary testimonial to see If the cure was permanent, and we are glad to write that in all fairness it now seems to be our duty to state that Hood's Sarsaparllla did its work perfectly and well."
