Our aim is to give our customers First-class Goods for very little
money. We mark our goods down to a bare -living - profit, and have but
one price. We do not advertise any Big Discount Sale in order to draw
trade, for every intelligent person knows what that means. When a firm
advertises in that way, it Is quite easy to understand what they do; they
simply add to the regular price the percentage they intend taking off.
This is a fact that has been proven in the so-called Great Discount Sales.
When buying, don't simply look at the discount offered, but deduct that
discount from the regular price, and then compare it with the prices of
others. If you call on us we can show you the best assortment of Furni-
ture in the County, and our prices are as low as the lowest.

THE STARTrrING EXPERIENCE OF MR ISMO
Bugles, OF LONDON --A SUFFERER FOR
FOUR YEARS—H1e LODGE OAA1E TO TRE
RESCUE Arran Docroes HAD FAILED—HE
IS AGAIN ABLE TO DE OUT.
From the London Free Press.
The home of Mr Isaac Briggs, at 501
Charlotte St., this city, is one of the most
prettily situated and well kept of the many
homes of the workingmen of London. Tire
front is carefully boulevarded, and at the
side and rear of the cottage home is a lat-
tice work covered with vines, and there' ie
also a garden. Within view are fields and
woode, and in fact there was nothing
needed upon the occasion of an autumn
afternoon visit to make the lot of a sick
man amid each surroundings aspleasant as
possible.
And so it was not to be wondered at that
Mr Briggs was found in a cheerful snood.
But a conversation with the gentleman re-
vealed the fact that there were very good
reasons why any man under the same
ciroumstances, and enjoying the same
bright hope, could not but allow his face to
beam forth with what he felt. The story
as told will be found most interesting, and
that it is absolutely correct there•are many
of the friends of Mr Briggs will testify
should such testimony be , needed. Mr
Briggs has been an invalid fcr four years
and has been unwell and under medical
treatment for eight years. It was in 1885
that he first felt the twinges, the aches and
the pains that foretold trouble, He secured
medical attendance, and learned that his
liver was out of order, hie kidneys were
bad and that he suffered from dyspepsia.
However he worked along for nearly four
years, when the terrible malady affected
his system in a way painful to relate. It
came directly after an attack of "the grip."
Mr Briggs was yet in his "fifties,' and to
all appearances was a well preserved and
strong man. But almost without warning
the joints in every part of his body were
as solid and immovable as though they bad
been padlocked, and the strong man be-
came as helpless as a babe. Many doctors
were consulted, and they all promised re-
lief and occasionally a slight relief did
come. But it was only temporary, and
the unfortunate man, in consequence of
these relapses, was gradually loosening his
hold upon hope. The days were long and
weary that he spent upon; his bed, with the
dismal prospect ahead of being held a close
prisoner, to be released only by death.
The family, too began to lose faith in
medical skill, They had given a trial to
ome of the foremost practitioners of the
ity, but always with the same unhappy
exult. Patent medicines of various de-
criptione were likewise tried, but in vain,
hen about Christmas tide came news that
ad almost been expected. Mr Briggs had
ot long to live, the doctors said. Gradually
e grew weaker until early in the spring so
enously ill did be appear to be that the
nd was daily:looked for.
Court Forest City, A. 0. F., of which.
Mr Briggs is a member, proved just at this
uncture to be a friend indeed. During all
is illness the brethren had been very at.
entive. And no one regretted more than
hey the unhappy prospect- One night the
curt was discussing the case when it was
uggested that Pink Pills should be tried.
soiree had been told of what they had ef-
cted in other cases. Then why °not in
his? Finally the court agreed to present
ne dozen boxes of the pills to Mr Briggs.
he attending doctor told his patient that
e pills were only good for cases of paraly-
s, but he consented to their being given a
ial as a last hope., Accordingly Mr
riggs began taking them. Very soon a
change was noticed. He grew more cheer -
1 and suffered much less. His whole
stem seemed to be awakened to new life,
et as was the world outside, for it was
e glad springtime Attie year. ,
With renewed strength came renewed
ope. and the invalid began to look upon
ink Pills as his deliverer. He used them
ithfully, taking era a day. In a month
was able to leave his bed, and he did so
ith a thankful heart. Only those who
ve been forced to undergo long confine-
ent between bed -clothes can realize the
easure and joy there were in that first
y spent in the neat little parlor, seated in
big arm chair beside tbeesvindow where
e sun sent in its *arm,' bright rays.
nce then Mr Briggs has been about daily.
e uses crutche's yet but he grows stronger
ery day. Now he can use, his hands, eat-
g with a knife and fork, and the joints
ntinue to grow looser and pliable, giving
ly a false idea of the veritable knots into
ich those of the hands and feet were tied.
ere wan a cessation of the pains too, a
est pleasing fact to the invalid—and the
od veesele that had become lost to view
ddried up are now quite healthy looking.
111r Briggs has only used twenty boxes of
o pills, at a cost of $10. Certainly his
1 for fnedicalattendance shows a marked
rease.
Mr E. W. Boyle, druggist, 052 Dundee
eat, who is also secretary of Court Forest
y, was also interviewed with respect to
case, and his statements were all con-
natory of what Mr Briggs bad said. He
d he had a tremendous sale of the pills.
other similar medicine ever approached
the same demand.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a perfect

h diseases as rheumatism, neuralgia,

Vitus' dance, nervous headache,
yens prostration and the tired
ing therefrom, the after effects of
rippe, diseases depending on humors in
bl000d, such as scrofula, chronic ery

pale and sallow complexions, and are a
cilia for the troubles peculiar to the fe-
le system, and in the case of men they
at a radical cure in all cases arising

ear in mind Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
never sold in bulk, or by the dozen or

ch these pills are sold makes a course of

ew ork'a Buildln$ Within a Builillan
That Interesta.Engineers.
New York has no piece that is as Inter
eating to engineers and students of semi
neeriog as the big cable building at till
northwest corner of Broadway and Hons-
ton streeet, which is one of the power sta.
tions of the Broadway cable road. This is
an eight story building,witlea granite and
brick front and an interior of steel, being
really a building within a building. What
makes the building a scientific curiosity is
the fact that, though theponderous oper-
ating machinery of the station is at work
unceasingly night and day, its working
does not produce the slightest jar or tremor
in the building. There are 550 tons of
machinery, all told, in motion when the
cable works, including driving wheels,
shafts and cable drums. The shafts of
the driving wheels thefnselves weigh 50
tons each, and two of the driving wheels
are 82 feet in diameter.
The machinery is 65 feet below the side-
walk level, and in itself is a wondrous
sight to a layman. A visit to the power
room makes plain at a glance how the en-
gineers have solved the problem of elimi-
nating the jar and tremor of the mighty
steel power makers. The builders have
simply reared the huge superstructure of
stone and steel on great steel pillars that
are nearly 1% foot in diameter. These
pillars rest on a foundation of concrete
and do not come in contact at any point
with the foundations upon which the cable
machinery is built. +This latter founda-
tion is a separate and distinct one of steel
plates filled inwith concrete, with big cir
cular holes at different points. The foun-
dation pillars of the building pass through
these holes, and there is a free space of
half a dozen inches all around between the
pillars and the steel and concrete- founda-
tion.
Even if the giant machinery did jar,
the jarring could not be communicated to
the steel pillars of the building and with.
out such communication it would be im-
possible to produce a jarring of the walls.
It is an equally astonishing fact to a lay-
man that the machinery itself does not jar
in the least. The mammoth shafts of tee
driving wheel beat the air and produce
sensation like thumping upon the ear
drum of the visitor to the power Louse,
but that is all.
If a visitor places his hands on the walk,
or the street columns, he can rere'iiy dis
cover that there is not the slightest trc
mor of either walls or pillars. There is u
big store on the ground floor of the build-
ing over the power room, and every one
who goes in the store is amazed to find that
the floor does not shake. The visitor can
hear the machinery going below him, but
he cannot feel any motion despite the
enormous weight of the machinery.—New
York Sun.
Origin of the French Theater.
Volumes •innumerable have been writ-
ten on the origin of the French theater,
which had as humble a beginning as the
theater in all other European countries,
with the exception, however, of opera. The
spoken drama of France, as of other Eu-
ropean countries, had humbler beginnings,
and the first regular troop of the Comedie
Francaise had its origin in a combination
of wondering companies. It is a little
more than .two centuries ago, in the year
1689, that the theater where `the come-
dians of the king" habitually performed
received the title of Comedie Francaise,
though its constitution dates from 1680,
when, by order of Louis XIV, the com-
pany of the Hotel de Bourgogne was
united to that of the Theater Guenegaud
in the Rue Mazarin. The history of the
Comedie Francaise cannot well be sepa-
rated from that of Corneille and of Moliere,
its greatest writers. though Moliere, who
died in 1878, and Corneille, what died in
1684, produced their works long before the
Theater Francais was officially constituted
