TMV, great rush of people to take advantage ol our extraordinary offers in uncalled for suits and overcoats has been marvelous from the very beginning.
The popularity of these suits has become so great that we have been compelled to open correspondence with over one hundred of the largest Tail
oring concerns throughout the country in order to get these suits fat enough to supply the enormous demand. These are not misfits, but suits
made to order on which deposits have been paid and which for unkown reasons remained uncalled for. Such things happen to every Tailoring establish
establishment. It is by advertising and making a feature of selling these suits that they find it more advantageou to consign, them to us than to attempt
to dispose of them from their own establishments.
Uncalled for Garments at Half Price.
$20.00 Suits and Overcoats, $10.00
$25.00 Suits and Overcoats, $12.60
$30.00 Suits and Overcoats, $15.00
$35.00 Suits and Overcoats, $17 50
$40.00 Suits and Overcoats, $20.00
These garments are so far superior in
style, fit and finish to ready-made cloth
ing that comparisons are odious. Call
and examine them and see if we can
fit you.' '

Tammany Charged With Casting I'our
Hundred Fraudulent Votes Agnlnst
HI in Last Tuesday.
NEW YORK. Nov. 8.- The Herald
saya:
While the republicans admitted that
Teres M. Stewart had received the
greater number of votes In the nine
teenth assembly dlstrlot they unani
mously declared that Robert Mazet
would again occupy his seat In the as
sembly,
Stewart's plurality is less than the
number of alleged fraudulent votes
cnat In the district for the Tommnny
Moll ticket. It was announced that
Mr. Maict would make a contest and
there wis ample evidence to Justify a
republican legislature in throwing out
more than 400 vat which were cast
against him. This report spread
through tho district laat night before
the figures became known.
The fight had been so bitter that the
small plurality was held to be suffi
cient to seat Stewart. Charges of brib
ery and colonisation were freely made
on each side. A report was taken to
republican headquarters that five men
who had gone to the thirty-fourth
election district Intituling to vota for
ilaset found that' Tammany men had
cast ballots In their names. This was
anld to have been otio of tho many
tlnlriant frauds.
"It la a surprise that we weiv not
defonkd by 1,000 or more," said Col
leolor indwell. "Mnset's defeat Is due
to Illegal WXIng, lllogal registration
and to every fraud In the calendar."
Mr. Qulgg mudo these comments:
"The strange feature of the flpht Is
that In the democratic districts Stew
art has run behind while In the repub
lican districts Maiet hits run behind.
Mairl losses wen? heavy. My present
estimate Is that the total vote of the

Ana about 25. Then were at least 4M
fraudulent Tammany votes cast.

Is so small? We must bear in mind
that this globe upon which we live la
made up of small things, Infinitesimal
objects, we might say. Little drops
of water make the mighty ocean. The
mountains which rear their hoary
heads toward heaven and are often
lost in the clouda are made up of little
grains of sand. Besides, my friends,
we must take into consideration the
possibilities in the life of this little
speck of humanity. He may become a
great preacher. Multitudes may be
swayed by his elequenoe and brought
to see ond believe In the truth of the
gospel. He may become a distinguished
physician, and his fame as a healer of
men may reach the uttermost parts of
the earth and his name go down to
posterity as one of the groat benefac
tors of humanity. He may become a
great astronomer and read the heavens
na an open book, He may discover new
stars, which may be coupled with that
of Newton and other great discoverers.
He may become a distinguished states
man and orator, and by hls-.eloquence
he may control the destinies of nations
and his name be engraved upon mon
uments erected to perpetuate his, mem

counerymen. He may become an au
