GAMUT STEALING.!]
Some increliants who would
scorn to steal outright, are do
ing it every day, in this way:
Mr. B will come in and want a
can of Johnston sliced pineap
ple. The merchant looks him
oyer and sees he is ‘ one of
them," and with an utter lack
of conscience, says 40 cents.
Sometimes he pays it; sometimes
he don’t, especially if he is ac
quainted with DILLON, who
only asks 30 cent®, and then
makes a good piofit on the same
identical goods.
It is often asked me by the
merchants why I cut prices,
ami all kinds of arguments are
used to induce me to quit it.
I am no cutter, I sell at a fair |
protit and take no chances, and
have built up :i splendid busi
ness, ;.i,d am to-day giving .
more value for the money than
nny other merchant in Brtins- ’
wick. I have no time to hot her ’
with the pay-day plan —or the
thief w! o int(-mis to pay part
ami run his smooth hard cheek I
tor th ‘ other part.
1 warn yi.nr tiv.de and J wi 1 ,
on an average save you from
$5 to sls a month on your
grocery bill. Remember that I I
keep every grade of goods from
the CHEAPEST to the ’
FINEST IMPORTED 1 sell
them at only a close, sharp prof
it, and turn my money over and
I
over again, therein- making in
J CJ j
the aggregate a good profit.
To you who have not dealt with I
me, come and try it once. To ;
ray customers, remember I am
selling goods cheaper than ever.
If you think anyone else is
making a cut, ;ee me, I am be
low him in price.

Different Brands of Cigars That
New Yorkers Consume.
Jay Gould Confines Himself to Four
Cigars a Day-Rockefeller Pre
fers Mild Ones—A Luxury
Enjoyed by All.
Evening Post Bvreau, |
200 West 47th St. |
New York, Aug 21.—The million
aires of this city, with hardly an ex
ception, are smokers. It is only na
tural that mtn who are constantly
engaged in the rush and excitement
incident to vast financial schemes
should find tobacco restful to their
nerves. Jay Gould is a moderate
smoker and he smokes the - best
brands of cigars. Four cigars a day
are his limit. Mr. Gould usually
buys his cigars at the stand in the
Windsor Hotel.
He smokes .Henry Clays and he
pays 25 cents apiece for them. When
Mr. Gould was so ill a yeai ago Dr.
Munn told him he must be temper
ate in the use of tobacco, and he re
lated a little story to impress Mr.
Gould.
“I knew a mau,” said Dr. Munn,
‘•who recently died at the age of 98.
He was the most perfect man physi
cally 1 ever saw. He had been a
smoker from the age of 10 years.
Had it not been for that I believe be
would have lived to be over a cen
tury old.”
‘ If he hail started to smoke when
he was 5 years old,” replied Mr.
Gould, laughingly, “he might have
lived to.be 110.”
However, he obeyed bis physician
and he has never since smoked to
excess-
John D. Rockfeller likes to puff'
! away on a cigar after dinner. He
fnicies a very mild brand, usually
La Liberador, which are sold for 10
cents each.
Mr. Rock feller never smokes in
business hours. He is a good billiard
player, and his smoking is generally
pursued while he plays that artistic
game.
Commodore Elbridge T. Gerry is
an excellent judge of a-bigar, and he
smokes a good many of them. A
pleasant feature of life oti Mr.
Gerry’s yatch is the cigars which are
handed around after dinner. They
are of various brands, to suit all
tastes.
The commodore’s favorite is La
Rosa, an I he pays $25 a box for
th< tn. There are 100 cigars in a box.
Collis P. Huntington is an infre
quent smoker, and one brand is as
good as another to him. lie buys
the best, however. One day recently
Mr. Huntirgton went into a Broad
way cigar store and called for a
Henry Clay cigar. lie threw down
a quarter and lighted the cigar
MjJiich the dealer handed him. It
was a Henry Clews, a brand which
is sold for 5 cents each, and is named
after the popular banker, but Mr.
Huntington never detected the mis
take.
Mr. Clews smokes the brand that
is called after him. He is a moder
ate smoker.
“My cigars do not cost me over 30
cents a day,” he says. “When I was
a young man and poorer, 1 used to
smoke more and pay higher for
them.”
Mr. IL Victor Newcomb is one of
the few millionaires who smokes
cigarettes. He says that he has '
tried on numberless occasions to '
smoke cigars, but that they always
prove too powerful for him. and he
is forced back upon cigarettes.
Mr. Newcomb's favorite brand is
the Special Flavor. He smokes on
an average ten cigarettes a day and
be pays 15 cents a package for them.
As there are twenty cigarettes in
each package Mr. Newcomb's smok
ing bill amounts to only seven and
one half cents a day.
.lames R. Keene, who is generally
believed to be again a millionaire, is
an inveterate smoker. He gets away
with a dozen cigars a day easily.
Mr. Keene is an exceedingly nerv
ous man. and he finds that smoking
soothes him. He paces up and
down broker Sam Booc'»ck'* <4llce
I for hours ut u time pulling away ut a'
j elgsr.
Mr. Keene smokes the Gin. it,, s
I cigar that costs 20 cents mil is
i pretty strong. Ilia smoking bill'
j averages $2.50 per day. Itai.kioii, |
SEASIDE COLLEGE.
The Faculty of Brunswick's Newly
Organized Female Seminary.
The President takes pleasure in
announcing to the citizens of Bruns
wick that arrangements are now
■complete for the opening of Seaside
College on Monday, September 29.
The faculty of file college will be
organized as follows:
S. C. Caldwell, A. M , President.
Natural science, metaphysics and
higher mathematics.

pal. Rev. J. M. M. Caldwell, presi
dent emeritus. Moral philosophy

personal obligations, the President
has exercised ns wisely as possible
the wide discretion allowed. Only
instructors of the highest moral,
social and professional character
have been engaged. He is confident
that no school in the South can offer
superior advantages in anj’ depart
ment.
To the parents of Brunswick the
establishment and maintainancc of
such an institution is a matter of
prime importance. Upon their
hearty co operation and support its
very existence will depend. That
co operation and support is respect
fully solicited.

obtained at the sto.e of 11. T. Dunn '
& Son, or at the college.
LOADED TO THE MUZZLE.
With a Selection of Clothing and
Furnishinge- Second to None.
That will be the situation at the
popular Cincinnati Clothing House
in about two weeks.
Mr. A. S. Berlack, Mr. Apte’s
popular and wide-ajvake right hand
man, received this morning, a letter
from his chief that he was now on
his way back to Brunswick.
Mr. Apte goes on to say that he
has made the largest and best selec
tion that could possibly be made,
and that he is perfectly willing to
compare the Stock he will have to
that of any other merchant in the
city.
Being a clothier and furnisher ol
long experience and good judgement!
Mr. Apte certainly knows what it
tak s to please the people.
His many patrons will await the
opening of his new stock wjth in
terest.
In the meantime call around and
see Barlock, he is always on hand
and can perhaps show you some
thing you want.
Drunk On The Street.
Hon. John Barleycorn is a pugilist
of great reputation, and a person he
can’t knock out is not worth knock
ing out at all. Mr. Barleycorn has
just knocked Peter Jack son,the great
Australian negro out with case.
Last night he got in his work again.
This time he did not respect s-x or
color. Sue Pidgeon, Carry Dunlap
and Grade Smith had a lively tussle
with the smasher last night at very
“unseasonable” hours, and as usual,
they lost the fight. They were
knocked so silly as to be unable to
reach home. The city, however,
provides places for such characters,
and they were soon taken in charge
by officer W. A. Clark and incarcer
ated in that “home for the triendless”
where they will remain until the
cases agains^them can be considered
by “his honor” judge Whitfield,
Saturday morning.

HER EDUCATION.
The Method of Educating Girls
Futher Discussed.
k
Another Lady Interviewed.-What
She Has to Say.—A New Idea
Suggested. -At What Age
a Girl Should Marry.
The articles now being published
on the subject of a girl’s education
are being read with great interest.
Mothers are always interested in the
welfare of their daughters and they
are particularly interested in the
articles. Young ladies are also
interested to a great extent, as they
wish to profit by the experience of
their mothers.
The Post does not desire to pass
any mother by, who wishes to ex
press her views on this all-import
ant question, and if there is any
lady who wishes to give her views
she will confer a favor upon the
education editor of The Post, by
sending her suggestions to him.
A priminent lady, the wife ol a
prosperous merchant of this city,
was called upon and asked to give
her views on the subject. She re
plied:—“l have been reading the
articles published in the Post with
much interest, and I feel that this
question should have been brooched
long ago. I am glad to note that
the question is being agitated every
where, all over the union. Mothers
can not be too well informed on this
great question. The more one
thinks about it the more profound it
becomes.
“1 have one daughter who is in her
teens. Ido not consider her of suf
ticiant age to consider matrimony.
A young lady should not marry be
fore she is twenty-one years of sge.
A young man is not considered of
sufficient discretion to have a choice
in the selection of rulers over our
country until they, have .u rived at
that age and the woman being the
weaker of the 4 wo should have as
much discretion to use in the selec-’
tion of a husband, that is supposed
to stand for life, as a young man
must have before be can have a voice
and vojte in an election. The law is
very liberal and yet, not withstand
ing its liberality, it does not con
I aider a young lady of sufficient fixed
ness of purpose to choose a husband
until fifteen years of age.
“Youth is full of happiness and it
should not be marred by marriage
until a person has become settled.
Then they- understand the responsi
bility oi married life and what is ex
pected of them. Many girls marry
early; they think they love theyoung
man and he probably :s so foolish as
to believe that her love is genuite.
They marry and as a natural conse
quence of a hasty match find only
too soon that, they were mistaken.
Then they see their folly and two
lives are forever wrecked on the
shoals of haste.
“A girl should have a thorough
training in household duties. She ,
should be taught that “cleanliness is
next to godliness” and that to make
herself attractive, which she should
always do. she must always appear ,
neit and tidy. It is a very disgrace
ful sight to see a young girl loung
ing around a house with a soiled
wrapper on.
“She should have as complete ed (
ucationas her circumstances would
permit of. The cariculum can’t be
improved to a great .extent I dont ,
think. A young lady should take a
business course at some reputable
school whether she is an heiress or
not.
“As I said before, a young lady ,
should be al least twenty one years
of age before considering the ques
tion of marriage. But it is a great
mistake for a girl of any age to mar
ry a man to reform him. Ninety
nine times out of a hundred he goes
lower into degradation anil at last
becomes an outcast from society. He
is ostracized by all his former asso
ciatesandyet by her. maritid vows
she must remain with iiin., honor,
uphold ami cherish him ami be
shunned by all the companions of her
youth.
“I think u young hijiy should ex
<*rei»u greut care in selecting a Ims I
baud. Life would be far sweeter if '
»lii reiuuin in iuui<leulioo<l than to
mum u wortlilMs man. A man
ohoulil not lu: luunied simply l><>
i-Miite he i-. u man or u Luu<l«ouie
mau. If beauty is the only recoin
mendation, God pity his wife. ll<
should be noble and generous. O
course, if he is wealthy they canaf
ford many luxuries not to be ob
tained by those of more limitec
means. The old adage of “uneasy
rests the head that wears a crown’
will apply to the wealthy as well as
kingsand Jemperors. Marry an hon
orable man that you can really love
and that loves you ami “married life
wiil be a success.”
OUR GAS SUPPLY.
The Merchants Say it is Very Limi
ted and They Kick.
For ' several days complaints
poured into the office of The Post
against the insufficiency of the gas
supply. They say they cant have
enough gas to last until 7 o'clocx
and they proceed to complain in the
usual way, that is by kicking, and
some of the kicks are bard. A Post
reporter called on some of the hard
est kickers to investigate the gas
dearth. Here is what they say:
Mr. Henry T. Dunn: “We have
been compelled to light lamps to see
how to transact’our business for the
past ten days. We think it an cut
rage to be imposed upon in any such
away. We may light tile gas at five
o'clock and by six we have to light
our lamps to see. The gas light is
never strong enough to see to read
by. However, lamps are selling rap
idly. 1 have sold lamps to nearly
every man in the <xity that uses
gas.
Mr. J. T. Palmer, the shoe mer
chant, was next seen. He said :
“It is an outrage to be imposed upon
us we have for the last week by the
gas company We were compelled
to buy larjps and oil to illuminate
our establishment, The gi i service
has been a humbug for eight months.
I am in for a boycott; 1 think it
would have some effect lending to
give better service.”
Mr. Kaiser, the dry goods dealer
was next seen 1 He replied: “1 do
not use gas at all now. It is so
very uncertain a mau of business
cun not put any dependence in it at
all. It usually goes out when .you
need it must.”
Mr. W. F. Doerflinger, the jeweler,
said: I am thoroughly disgusted
with anything called gas sewer. We
have had no gas service for twelve
months ami it seems to be growing
worse each day.
S. M. Glogauer, the crockery mer
chant, expressed the same views as
those expressed by Mr. Doerflinger.
Joe Hall, the almond eyed celestial
who runs the restaurant on New
castle street, was called upon. Joe
speaks English retnarkabl well and
with the peculiai-’twinkle of his eye,
common to all Chinamen, said:
1 went to a large’expense when 1
came here two months ago and
opened my restaurant, to put in gas
fixtures, but 1 have never had anv
decent light. I think when a man
has to pay for a thing he should have
value received, but you can’t get ii
from the gas company. Only yester
day I spent sl6 for lamps to light
my dining room. I bought the
lampsuf Mr. Dunn, and be told me
his ms service was in a similiar
con.litio-.i. We can’t have any light
at all during the day, and none by
night, except from lamps.”
Several other Merchants were cal
led upon ami all were using lamps
or electric lights. They are heartily
in favor of a gas boycott.
The superintendent of the gas
company was called upon and asked
about the mutter. He said that
their capacity was too limited to
supply the city. He said, however,
that their capacity would be increas
ed this fall to meet the demand.
It is probable that the boycott
threat will be carried out. If it is
a new company wilt probably be
formed to manufacture our lights.
Delayed Several Hours.
The East Tennessee passenger train
which was to arrive at 6:15 a. m.
had not reached the city up to 1:30
p. m. The cause of the delay was a
run <ll about twenty miles above
Atlanta. The business men are
kicking about their mail.

It wrs a curious note Mr. Pragent,
found at his front door this morning.
Il getfliine, a sensational suicide

The note referred to was brought
to the office of The Post this morn-

lows :

A little further down appeared
the following sentnnee :
“Look for my body somewhere
near the back landing.”
On the back of the envelope ap
peared the following incription :
“Please open, this.”
“Important.”
Mr. Prager said he intended to
