The Winchester Arms Company at New

“The dynamiters, dynamateurs, or dyna j

Gambling in Cincinnati is said to be car
ried on more publicly and defiantly than
ever bes ire. Some of the houses have pick

The San Franciscans are very proud of
what they term tbeir Golden Gate Park of
over a thousand acres. Os all the great
parks of the world they assert there is none
so picturesque and none having so many re
sources for variety of arboriculture. Nearly
all semi-tropical trees will thrive in it. tor
ten years the work of tree planting has been
going on, and the park is rapidly becoming
a most attractive spot. One of the best fea

park being located on the shore of the bay,
with a driveway along the beach.
The laxity with which business secrets
are often guarded may be learned from an
incident of the recent issue of bonds by the
New York Central Kailroad. When the ru

was any such intention. A Wall street man
has for his neighbor an employe of one of
the large engraving establishments of the
city, While the controversy over the pro
bability of the issue of these bonds was in
progress, the printer told his Wall street
friend that the bonds were completed and
ready for issuing with the exception of flat.-
in?. The Wall street man took the “tip,”
sold the Central short and made $20,q00.

Crocodile farms are becoming common.
The largest animals are killed and skinned,
their flesh b* ing used to feed their hungry

are of no small dimensions is shown by the
fact that the owners of one of them supplied

year with no less than 5,000 alligator skins.

A few nights ago a field of dry sage on the
hattie field of Missionary Ridge became
lighted, and soon the flames were spreading
with lightning-like rapidity. A stump
standing in the battle field blazed up. and in
a few seconds a roar like thunder reverber
ated down the valley, and the stump was
blown into 10,000 pieces. Investigation
developed the fact that three shells were
imbedded in the stump, and exploded from

The electric light is being used to light
bakers’ovens. A great difficulty has al
ways existed among bakers to get a light
into their dark ovens, so that the progress
of baking might be observed. Two incan
descent lamps driven bv a Victoria brush
machine, are placed inside an oven where
the temperature ranges from 400 degrees to
600 degrees F. The oven door contains a
sheet of plate glass, through which the
whole of the oyen is distinctly visible. The

THE EVENT OF THE SEASON.
A. R. Altmayer & Co.
ONE WEEK OF PRONOUNCED AND UNPARALLELED BARGAINS.
In order to make this week memorable not only in our own history, but in the history
of the general trade in this city, we shall offer, beginning MONDAY MORNING, pronounced
and unparalleled oargains in all our Departments. Having in view that our new store, on
the corner of Broughton and Hull streets, will be finished by September Ist, and desiring to
open our new place with an entirely new stock of goods, therefore we have concluded not to
move our present stock, and knowing the only way to make them move is to mark prices
down. The prices we name represent in almost every instance less than manufacturing cost
i of the goods they cover.
<J 6 , < > . V I < « !
OUR CLOAKS, FURS and WINTER WRAPS MUST BE SOLD AT ANY PRICE. »
This is our sacrifice and your opportunity. Yon will never have another chance to select
from such a complete stock of beautiful and stylish overgarments. \on can never make a
better investment. It will pay you to buy at once, In order to take advantage ot this extra
ordinary and unprecedented sale.

MILUtNERY.
Our low prices for both trimmed and untrimmed hats annoy the very life of certain
high-priced milliners. We frequently hear fro n customers how uncomplimentary they
speak of us as ruining trade. Well, that doesn’t worry us a bit. We rather like it. It is a
confirmation strong as holy writ that they are jealous of our reputation for selling the
cheapest line of Millinery. The object of this corner of our advertisement is to let you know
that our New York buyers purchased at a sacrifice an enormous quantity ol trimmed and
untrimmed Hats, the balance of stock of one of the largest New York importers. These pur
chases, in addition to our large stock, crowds us so much that we can hardly turn round.
In fact, we frankly acknowledge that we are heavily overloaded, and as we know the quick
est way to unload Is to cut prices, therefore this week we shall offer Hats, in fact everything
in the Millinery line, at 25 cents on the dollar.
FRENCH FELT HATS, TRIMMED,

SHOE Si
Certain retail dealers of this city, because we ha ve seen fit to break the combination price
of certain makes of shoes, try to keep us from getting these makes. The public may not
kno v it, but some makers of shoes decline to sell a merchant unless he will agree to retail
the shoe at a certain high price fixed by himself. This we invariably decline to do. XV e buy
our Shoes, pay for them, and it’s no business of the maker at what price we sell them for.
We would be in a pretty fix this week, when we intend to cut prices lower than ever before,
if we could not put prices down below what manufacturers chose to name. The tremendous
stock that is to be sold offers an opportunity for variety, shape and style that no person who
has feet should neglect.
