Subscriptions for the WORLD-HERALD received at this office To My Customers: Our compotitots are again in tho fiold. trying to fret our cus tomprs dissahslied and domorohzed by circulating nil kinds of wild-cat stories and nicely gotten up printed matter, wlh tlio idea of making them feel that thoy liavo mado u mistnko in not olaciii"- their order for "Tho other fellow's machine." n Now, wo address this upon letter to you to say that past exper ience, if remembered toachod us that it is a oommou practice with most of them to send out handsomo printed nmtter, make a game of smooth talk and many fair promises, in order to have you believe their mnchino is tlj.i only one to buy. If thoy find you havo bought on yoiu own judgment, and bought what you know to bo tho best.THE McCORMICfC MACIIIN1&Y, they got after you, offering lower prices, stones of imaginary brilliant successes, etc., calculated to make you feel that you have bought too enrly. Tim facta in the case arc that you enn buy a McCormick Bindor or Mower just ns cheap in January as you can in June or nny other month. McCormick machines are sold at ono prico at all times, thoy being all mado alike and of the same material, aro necessarily worth tho same money, henco tho company must nk all people the same prico. Tho price of a McCormick machine has no moro to do with that of nny other binder or mower than it lias with tho price of bicy cles. Please bear this point in mind . McCormick makes his own machines, tho other companies make theirs. Thoy do not compare notes aa to the cost of tho dirter ont machines, and onjy do so in relation to the SELLING PRICE and guago their prico by their ability to get orders that wo would suroly cet if thoy would put tho same pnoo on their goods as we do on ours. If their machino cost them as niqpjj money ns tho McCormick does to build, thoy would suroly ask tho same prico, as thero is no uiiuijmuy on earm uiai cun ounu macnincs any cneaper or better than Tho MeCormipk Harvesting Machino Co. build theirs. If you jiavo not bought a McCormick, you should placo your order nt once with your nearest agent for one of tho McCormick mach ines tho best harvester and binder that McCormick oer built, and a machine of which wo aro all justly proud. Reports from tho southern harvest fields aro most flattering and encouraging, showing that tho competition only did business whore wo wero SHORT Oh' MACHINES and couldu't till orders. This con vinces us and Bhould convince you, thnt tho McCormick machino sells on its merits and not on price, which is guaged by productions of oth er manufacturers, and as history usually repeats itself as the harvest moves north, it might bo well for you to place vour order at once, as wo will very likely have to face a shortage in Nebraska and olsowhore. It might strike you when you need your machine tho worst, "First como must bo first served," If you havo already placed your order, you should feel happy over it and pay no attention to any talk givon you by a competitor with tho idea qf making you dissatisfied with your purchase.

NOnDIDA, i'tie Splendid Oltt of the Oreat G In for' Admlrort. A beautiful diamond tiara which ia to i bo presented to Mmo. Nordlca by hpr' v I admirers atnonc Uic box and teat nold cra of tho Metropolitan Opera House, has been put on exhibition In New York. The coronet contains 233 dia monds, which range in slzo from 14 carats to 1-8 of a carat. Thero am about a dozen pf the larger stones, ahtl the total weight of tho diamonds In tho tiara is about 30 carats. Its cost wilt not be far from 5,000. The Btylo of coronet Is that of Adams, in the timo of the first empire. The tiara is built upon a base band of gold, which will rest upon tho wearer's head and keep tho diamond-set crown from sinking Into the hair. This barid is, however, only a round wlro of gold about 113 of an inch in diameter. At its ends ara loops into which hairpins or ribbons may be fastened to secure tho coronet to the head, Abovo the base and root ing on wire uprights Is the base propofc of tho tiara. This consists of a doublo line of diamonds, containing in all about soventy-flvo stones, inclosing row of larger stones. Above this either sido Is scroll work of diamdiy!, conventional grasses, and betw these conventional flowers, all ot dla, monds. The tiara stands very high ia front and tho center pleco Is a remark ably effective specimen of Jeweler's work. It is an open, graceful cluster of sprigs and flowere, and containaln all sixty-six diamonds. The tips olr tho 1 sprigs contain tho largest stones In tha tiara, each sprig holding a single stone, and the centers of tho conventional flowers are also formed of single stones of large size. The center piece of tho crown can be separated from the rest and used by ltsolf as an ornament for tho hair. For this purpose it la provid ed with a gold comb, which sits at right angles with the front. This coraO serves to steady the tiara when tho en tiro Jewel is worn. The Idea of making a gift to Mmo. Nordlca la said to have originated among some of her admirers at the Wnldorf, but it did not take definite form mtll Mr. James Otis toob: It in hand. He Invited the great sing er's friends to contribute for the pur pose but limited the contributions' to 510 each.
