^fmrnnrntjiBmtm r? mrntmmwmK It las Always Been Our Ail to give the highest standard of excellency in Fur Coats. Those that are better fitting, better made and better all around than has ever been offered to the wearer.

Price is by no means a warrant of good value. What you want to know is that you lia»ve the best re­turn for your money. Our reasons for claiming super­iority are based on facts. We make ho statement we

cannot prove, and we make no claims we cannot fully substantiate. In the first place, for good wearing quali­ties, much depends upon the perfect softness and elasticity of the skin used, a result obtained by the highest > possible art in dressing. There are positively no calf coats that compare with ours in softness, durability and general pake up. The same can be said of our coon and wombat. The following guarantee accompanies and is attached to every warranted coat, and insures the purchaser good value for his money. It reads as follows:

. I This is a regular guaranteed coat. Made in the best possible wanner and of gootl sound material. We guar­

antee it free of any imperfections when shipped by tin. We ivill replace tiny skin found to be defective, or repair any defect in worismanshifi'free of charge tvithin one year from date thereof if accompanied by this ticket. We cannot take back this coat «jftev it is tcorn, nor does this guarantee cover ordinary icenr and tear, or damage caused by carelessness, aeciuent or misuse.

No slop work, and no pains spared to make them reliable and good value. The method of back staying or interlining our wool or liajr coats or others that have a tendency to break at the seams, with heavy drill, near­ly doubles their value. These facts are worthy your careful consideration and should be fully taken into ac. count when making your-purchase. All coats with quilted linings are provided with leather sweat shields and the new wrist protector. The former acts as a strong stay, and prevents the coat or rather the lining from ripping at a point where tjere necessarily comes unusual strain and wear. The wrist protector is a new feat­ure and of no small importance and value to the coat. It consists of a heavy piece of fijr firmly sewed on the inside of the sleeve at a |point where it comes in contact with the wrist, and thereby adds great additional warmth to the garment.

In the manufacture of this coat the old-time buffalo dressing is used, making the skins perfectly, pliable, elastic and strong. No. acid of any

issmg, the skins will never, under any condition, become hard or stiff. The coats made throughout, and the edges bound with the heaviest and best diamond braid first-class garment in .every particular we challenge anyone to produce its equal,

y, being the most sightly and, attractive coat for the money on the market and can r service.

Russian Buffalo Calf Uts kind being used in this di are strongly and perfectl; to be found; in fact for Calf coats have come to si be highly recommended f|

Of this articlb it is hardly necessary to make any special mention. They have already won a place not second to any coat. We are aware that coats of this kind made from poor, trashy, flat,

red skins, are being offered, and in this connection we wish to say that the coats we sell are made of the very best puality, full furred silver skins, and the costs we refer to above are no comparison to purs in value.

fl/\An fftofo This article, while hardly equalling, rank next to the buffalo in point of durability, is really \JUU1I VJUttlO. superior to it in many respects. Being of a light weight, soft fur, it is fully as warm and cer­tainly less burdensome to the wearer. The buffalo being practically out of the market, we can safely say that «oon, for comfort, durability, looks and practical all round purposes is the leader in the fur coat line. Coons > are native to, and their skins are gathered from every section of the country, and, like most all furred skins,, their quality and color depends largely on the section from which they come and the season in which they are taken. Our coats are made of only well furred, seasonable skins, carefully selected as to quality, color, and . the adaptability to the particular purpose of making coats..

Colonel John Jamieson, general su­perintendent of the United States rail­way mail service under President Ar­thur, is dead, at his home in Brooklyn. Colonel Jamieson was born in Albany in 1841.

After an investigation State Superin­tendent of Instruction Stryker stated there are 781 district schools in Kansas where the average daily attendance is less than five pupils Hundreds of thousands of dollars are annually wasted in this way. In many cases schools are under the control of oue family. The parents and a son or daughter compose the school board, and they employ another member of the family as teacher at $30 to $40 a month, the only pupils being other children of 'he same family.

Teeth aud Chewing cuin.

A noted New England dentist is authority for the remarkable state­ment that the people who have the soundest, best preserved teeth are those who are inveterate chewers of gum. Another eminent dentist says that the texture of tho teeth is im­proved and strengthened by con­stant chewing, just as the muscles of the arms are hardened und devel­oped by constant exercise. He also says the finest set of teeth he ever saw were in the mouth of a man over 50 years old who had chewed gum incessantly from early child­hood. There are theories and the­ories.—New York Tribune.

When Armor Was Heavy.

In the fourteenth century armor became so heavy that many soldiers only 30 years old were deformed or permanently disabled by its weight.

VIENNA, Nov. 17.—The Turkish gov­ernment, not having yielded to the de­mands of the government of Austria for redress on account of the indignities offered to an Austrian merchant of Mersina, Herr Brazzafelli, the Aus­trian ambassador at Constantinople, Baron de Calice, will leave the Turkish, capital, aud an Austrian warship will bombard the port of Mersina (Asia Minor) tomorrow if the demands of Austria are not complied with by noon.

Austria demands that the Turkish government order a salute of the Aus­trian flag, that the vali in which dis­trict Mersina is situated be dismissed from his post, and that the mutosariff, or local governor of Mersina, be re­moved. It was announced on Tuesday that the porte had agreed to the de­mands of Austria, but this turned out to be premature, and the sultan, buoyed up by the easy victory of the Turkish troops over those of Greece during the recent war, will not, it is believed, yield until the last moment. Brazzafelli, who was the agent at Mersina of the Austria-Lloyd Steamship company, was expelled from Mersina last month because he was suspected by the Turk­ish authorities of having intrigued, against the government of the sultan. He appealed to the Austrian govern­ment, the latter made representations on the subject to the porte, and eventu­ally Brazzafelli was allftwed to return to Mersina. But when the Austrian merchant attempted to land the local minor officials, with the knowledge of the vali of Adana and the mutosariff of Mersina, it is claimed, allowed Brazza­felli to be so grossly maltreated that he was compelled to appeal to the Austrian consul for protection. Tho latter promptly interfered in behalf of his

compatriot, ana was mmsen repeatedly insulted. This action upon the part of the authorities and others of Mersina was soon brought to the attention of the Austrian government and caused the latter to insist npon redress, notably the dismissal of the two Turkish offi­cials who were shown to be the most responsible for the ihdignities heaped upon the Austrian consul and the mer­chant, Brazzafelli, and a salute to the Austrian flag by a Turkish fort or war­ship.

In reply to the strong note of the Austrian government, demanding an explanation of the outrages, it devel­oped that Brazzafelli incurred the sus­picions of the Turkish authorities by befriending fugitive Armenians and by giving the most deserving oheap passage from Mersina on board the ves­sels of the Austrian Lloyd Steamship company. '

The newspapers of Vienna today dis­cuss the incident at length aud express the hope that the Turkish government,. recognizing its mistake, will give Aus- j tria the satisfaction she insists upon. Austria, in addition to the demands mentioned, will insist upon the porte furnishing her with definite assurances respecting other matters, notably the oomplaints made by the officials of the Austrian company operating the Ori­ental railroads, which have frequently been brought to the attention of the Turkish government.

In this connection, it is announced here this morning that, in addition to dispatching the cruiser Franz Joseph and the coast defense ship Wien and. other vessels of the Austrian squadron in Cretan waters to Mersina, with in­structions to obtain satisfaction for the conduct complained of upon the part of the Turkish officials, the Austrian ships will at noon tomorrow, unless the porte has granted the demands of Austria by that time, stop all traffio on the Orien­tal lrairoads.'and, it is semiofficially an­nounced, have recourse to other im­portant politioal reprisals.
