SENSIBLE THINGS. The most sensible women are an-xious for comfort. Above everything, there is nothing that insures comfort 'so much as furs. Our idea is to supply you with really good furs at very low prices, . We clothe you well and elegan ly here. There are are times in the lives of some of us when ve look for goods of the cheapest kind, nothing can be too chap and trashy. At such times as these people are what is call- ed "hard. up,,,," and do not like their friends to know. it. It is a mistake all the same, no matter how "hard "you are, to buy trashy cheap clothing. The harder up you are the better clothes you should buy, for they wear 'Onger, and for that reason are cheaper in the end. We want your trade, and our prices are reasonable. FUR COATS SUICIDE OF A:CANADIAN POLITICIAN. NICHOLAS FLOOD DAVIN SHOOTS HIMSELF IN A WINNIPEG HOTEL. . Nicholas Flood Devin, ex -M. P. for Regina, "the Demosthenes of the West," /committed suicide at the Clarendon hotel, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, at 4:30 last Friday afternoon' by shooting himself. The act seems to have been most premeditated. Veiling in his attempt to purchase a revol- ver at one store, he went into another and succeeded in obtaining one. Thea he entered his room for the last time. Mr. Davin came to Winnipeg, October eth, ostensibly in oonneotion with siome legal business. •'Since then he has appeared very depressed. Oe MOnday afternoon he sat for a while in the billiard room of the Clarendon hotel, where he was talking to himself. He appeared, said one of the hotel men who saw him, as though he were not quite right..- The girls about the build- ing also noticed him noting most peculiarly, one of them telling of quick, distracted walks about the corridors, and an appear. Lance of annoyance when anyone passed him. His friends, too, in that town had seen that he was not himself, and remarked upon it, but no one dreamed of the tragic end so rapidly approaching. H BOUGHT TE REVOLVER, About noon he went into J. H. Ash - down's and purchased a revolver and box ot cartridges for $4. He took them away with him, and shortly after two o'clock turned up again with the weapon. One of the chambers was clogged, and he had been unable te work the extractor, hence he had brought it back to obtain assistance in firing. Mr. Lindsay, the clerk, noticed at that time he was acting very strangely, and oonsequently,.after fixing the revolver, drew back, just as he was, about to hand ib over, and gave him the mopey instead. Mr. Davin,' however, was notl deterred by this. He passed an hour or two driving around town in a hack, then he visited the store of the Messrs.Baskerle, end here secured another revolver. Safely stowing the weapon away in his pOoket, he went about as usual. It was a little after 2:30 that he dropped into the Queeni hotel, and there ran across some friends, with whom he chatted -pleasantly for a time. From the Queen's he paesed on to another hotel and then to the Clarendon, telling the hackman to wait for him and take him to the station on his way to Regina. He then went straight to his room. Twenty minutes later a boy was sent up after him with a letter from Regina, which had just arrived. The lad knooked at the door, and in reply to the usual question entered the room and handed the letter in. Mr. Davin was at this time sitting atthe table, apparently not doing anything. He said nothing, but taking the letter turned and seemed as though about to read it, when the boy went out. THE FATAL SHOT, A few minutes later a loud report was heard from Mr. Davin's room. Investi- gation was made, and Mr. Davin was found lying on the bed, with a smoking revolver in his right hand. The muzzle had been placed in his mouth, and the ball passed through the back of the head, caueing instant death. Buy -a good coat or none. We will not attempt a com- plete list, yet you will be able to gain a general idea of our stook from these quotations : Black Coney storm collars, $2.50 to $6,; Coney Cap- erines, $4 to $7.60; blue martin and electric seal'combina- tion, with ripple trimmed edges, also the electric seal and black oppossum combination, $7.50 to $15, varying according to the quantity of fur and the tails and ornaments used. An- other tasteful combination is the electric seal and sable; we shcrYw the newest caperines at $15, to $35 in this style. • A very rich article in neck fur is the sable boa. Oar prices on Canadian sable boas are $6.75 to $8.50; Alaska sable boas $10 to $17.50; sable muffs $8.50 to $15 ; brocade fur lined capes $15, Amster lined, men's calf coats, $16.50 to $28; men's coon coats $35 to $60 ;„ men's Australian coon coats, $18 to $28; Astrachan jackets,$20 t $3 o 0 -; ladies' Bocharan jackets, $30 to 6O, lathes' electric seal, $35 to $55, , -thittevy oiling lino with tiff. jot 14.0W daw@av 01: wool (loth eitp, worthy vithi@§111OAfflyiitfold§tom hhttro ry0e glovo and gab, bop' vett Add§ tani. gag, A PROPER EFFECT.

Old Stand, E1-1...A.J! THE CAUSE FOR THE RASH ACT. The search • for documents revealed very little, however, except letters which ehowed that he had been expected baok in Regina f�t. some few days and an unopened letter trom his wife asking how it watt he had been detained so long in -Winnipeg. This letter it must have been that was taken up to room HO shortly before the tragedy; He had little money in his pocket, only some $10, but that was hardly peculiar, as he had settled his hotel bill two days bdore with the intention of leaving then for Regina. So far as can be ascertained he left no 'letters of any kind, but his friends have noticed that ever since his defeat at the laet election he had, been despondent. He had worried over his litigation with Walter Scott, M. P., and if rumor speaks true, had endeavored to obtain employment under the Manitoba Government, If this was SO, indeed, it seems that there was no place suitable to a man of his abilities which could have been offered him. He had aloe been drinking heavily for several days while ia Wiginipog.

In 1880 he was appointed to the royal commission respecting the Canadian Pacific Railway, and in 1884 acted u secretary to the royal OOMMill6101:1 on Chinese immigration. In 1882, Mr. Davin settled in the Northwest, locating at Regina, where he established The Leader, the first newspaper of which Aseiniboia had boasted. The Leader re- mained under Mr. Davin's control until a few years ago. In 1887, Mr. Davin was - elected member of parliament for West Assieiboia, and held his constituency for two terms, though in 1896 his majority was reduced to one. In 1900 he was de- feated by Mr. Walter Scott, the present member for bhe riding. Mr. Davin married on July 25, 1895, Miss Lizzie Reid, daughter of Mr. James Reid, of Gloucester, who survives him. The publications of the deceased are "The Irishman in Canada," "Eon, and Epic of the Dawn," "Culture and Practical Power," "British v. American Civili- zation," "Ireland and the Empire," and " The Earl of Beaconsfield." The remains were taken to Ottawa for interment there. nis °Aunt& Mr, Davin was for many years e unique figure in Canadian journalism and Canadian public life, He was a man of AMA oulture and versatility. His oareer was a varied one, including the experiences of -a London bar• rieter,.a reporter in the Parliamentary Press Gallery in England, a war correepondent in the Franao-German war, then in journalism and law again in Canada, and finally many years in public life. He was a graoeful and clever speaker, with a touch of true elo- quence; always witty and . frequently brillisnt, though not, perhaps, able to sus- tain hie oratory on the highest levels. He was a master of banter, and did not by any means confine his raillery to his politioal opponents. He was a popular figure in the House of Commons, where he sat from 1883 to1900. He impressed his interesting per- sonality on the newspaper he founded at Re- gina, The Leader, and gave it a name which extended far outeide its natural boundaries of influence. He wrote graciously and vigorously, and was the author of several volumes of considerable merit aad circul- ation, and of numerous articles and re- views.
