We have opened our GREAT FIRE SALE at our old stand, corner
Grand and Broadway, with renewed energy. Knowing that we
would be back at our old stand in a few days, we reserved the best
of our stock for this sale, we have destroyed all burned goods; none
damaged except by water and some slightly smoked. This makes
everything practically good as new.

MANNER OF KING GEORGE
General Woodford Says Great Britain*
Ruler Is a Typical, Real
Sailorman.
There Vas a general impression
when George V. came to the throne
that he had none of his father's bon-
homie that put all men at their ease.
Events have proved that this opinion
has no foundation and only arose from
ignorance of the new king's character,
due to the quiet and retired life he
has led.
Since his accession he has received
deputation after deputation, represent-
ing all classes, and all have gone
away with a high opinion of George
V.'s savolr faire. When Gen. Stewart
L. Woodford as president of the Hud-
son-Fulton commission of New York
presented the gold medal and address,
originally intended to be given to Ed-
ward VII., the new king did not con-
tent hlmsel fwith a formal acceptance
and transmission of a stereotyped re-
ply, tfut talked freely for half an hour.
His manner is quiet yet cordial;
his way of speaking, which recalls
that of his cousin Prince Henry of
Prussia is frank; he gives the impres-
sion of not being a talkative man with-
out appearing reticent; in fact Gen-
eral Woodford sums it up as "the
speech of the typical real sailor man."
His late profession, too, is evidently
the subject nearest his heart, for he
talked to General Woodford with
knowledge of the three warships sent
to New York for the fetes and with
appreciation of Admiral Seymour, who
commanded them.

DEATH POPULAR IN NAMES
New York Leans to Ghastly Nomen-
clature, Is Discovery of an
Englishman.
"No city I have ever visited is so
fond of death as a part of the city's
nomenclature as New York is," said
the Englishman. "Before I had been
here a day I learned that Eleventh
avenue is called Death avenue, that
tlie turn in the street railway tracks
at Fourteenth street is Dead Man's
Curve, and that every important
trench everybody is digging for build-
ing purposes or other improvements
is called Dead Man's gulch.
"Later when rambling about the city
I discovered other spots whose grue-
some appellations may not be so wide-
ly known but are as firmly fixed lo-
cally. Three hills I have climbed are
called Dead Man's hill on account of
the coasting accidents that have oo-
curred them?.
"In the upper part of the city I was
taken to admire the view from two
aoints which are known as Dead
Man's bluff and Dead Man's ledge. An-
other friend of a cheerful turn of mind
has volunteered to show me just as
soon as he gets* time a beautiful spot
up in the Bronx called Death's toll-
gate. All those names no doubt have
a strong local significance, but they
are rather depressing to a stranger.

Land and Water Craft.
Rear Admiral John A. Howell, re-
tired, inventor of the Howell torpedo,
is having built a craft which he be-
lieves will solve the problem of com-
bined land and water travel. The
boat, which is being built at the plant
of the Bath Marine Construction com-
pany, is 20 feet long, 6 feet 5 inches
beam and with a tall 10 feet long.
She will be fitted with a 10-horse-
power engine, making 1,000 revolu-
tions a minute. She will have a 21-
inch pitch on the port side and a
trail wheel at the stern. The two
driving wheels are four feet in diam-
eter and are placed forward. Except
for the driving wheels, the craft is
constructed on the lines of any small
boat. It Is expected that the boat
will make about seven miles an hour
In the water and twelve on land. It
Is understood that she will be ready
for her trial early In the coming
month. The new boat might'well be
named the Crocodile.—Kennebec Jou>

Hidden Room of a Castle.
In the course of some repairs at
Longleat, Wilts, a room with a fireplace
was discovered of which nobody had
the slightest knowledge. It had ap-
parently been walled up for years, and
neither Lord Bath nor anybody at
Longleat had any suspicion of the ex-
istence of such an apartment.
Longleat, which is said to be the
first well built house In the kingdom,
was erected by Sir John Thynne, and
Its construction occupied 12 years,
from January, 15G7, until 1579. The
first royal visitor to Sir John's noble
mansion was Queen Elizabeth, and the
story runs that the owner was not
very anxious for his sovereign to see
his home, as she might ask him where
he obtained the money to build so
stately a house. Sir John Thynne,
who was knighted after the battle of
Pinkie, was the factotum of the Pro-
tector Somerset, and It is said that ho
built Longleat from designs prepared
by his fallen master for a house of hie
own.—Court Journal.

Ceaseless Change.
Reflect often upon the instability of
things and how very fast the scenes
of nature are shifted. Matter is in a
perpetual flux. Change is always and
everywhere at work; It strikes through
causes and effects and leaves nothing
fixed and permanent. And then how
very near us stand two vast gulfs of
time, the past and the future, In which
all things disappear. Now, Is not that
man a blockhead that lets these mo*
mentary things make him proud or un-
easy, or sorrowful as though they,
could trouble him for long?—Marcus
