pcaicd an article loiicernliig n xxoman named
Marj'HnsmusscnyWho died In a boarding house
on Tenth street. U stated that no physician
attended her , which Is not tiuc , as Dr.
Keogh xx-ns summoned , visited her and ad
ministered medicine. The said Mary Kas-
musscn xxas n kitchen girl In the house for u
couple of xx'ecks previous to her Illness , nnd
\xlien taken slek It-was tried In vain to get
her Into the St Joseph's hospital ( there being
no room under the circumstances ) . As to the
loom In which she lav belnir uncatpctcd and
cheeiless ( as stated in the MM. ) , it xxas the
best bedroom In the house and the family
giu'e her all the caio and attention possible ,
and a mm ricd dnughtcrns called home to
assist them , ruithermore , vlsltois and
bourdons xvill testify to having seen membeis
of the family holding the patient In
an uptight position in the bed
for houis ( xxhlch seemed to abate her suiter-
ings to some extent ) , nnd got her to sleep for
a few minutes. The arms of the attendant
xxotlld bo so stiallied as to ache xxith pain In
sliott ovoi jthing in their poxxci xx'as done to
lessen the agonv of the pool unfoi tumite

she died on Suiidnj night If Coiiutx Agent

WE MAKE IT
A principle of our business not to carry over one dollar's worth of goods
from one season to another if we can help it. This season we have a
much heavier stock and to close it out we know that extraordinary et-
forts have to be made. Having taken inventory , we have gone over
our entire winter stock , and propose to make a peremtory clearing of
the same , -Beginning today , we will inaugurate the greatest clearance
sale on record. Cost will not be considered in this sale , and we will cut
prices to mere nominal figures ,
First on the list are heavy overcoats , and we mention for this
week the following extraordinary bargains :
One lot good Ulsters , made of an excellent quality of Friezelined with
plaid flannel ; a perfect storm-defyer , at $9 ; the coat is fully wortty
$15.
One lot of elegant cassimere overcoats , cut very long with good astra-
clian collar and cuffs , a good looking as well as a good wearing
coat , which could not be bought under ordinary circumstances
for less than $16 ; we have marked it $9.50.
A small lot of very fine chinchilla Ulsters , fancy back , collar and cuffs
of good fur , elegantly made ; a splendid garment and as good as any
other house would ask $25 for ; we offer them at $12.75. This is de
cidedly the cheapest fur trimmed overcoat ever shown.
We are marking suits and all our winter goods in the same proportion
tion , and will announce through the daily papers the special bargains
we will have for every week.
All goods marked in plain figures and at strictly one price.
