The Vaughan Furniture Company
We have secured this space simply to further introduce ourselves to the public, and our friends in general. We have recently bought the T. C. Jef
fords Furniture Business, and propose to carry and up-to-date line of everything that is usually kept in a first class furniture store. We are getting
in new goods every day; we have at least two car loads of Furniture, Matting, Rugs, etc., on the way now, with as much more to follow as soon as
we can find space to store it. We shall carry a complete line of small Musical Instruments, Strings and Trimmings of all kinds. We began making
Picture Frames today. In taking an inventory we found several lines that we do not wish to continue, such as Buggy Whips, Wall Paper, Flowef
Pots. We have just received a complete assortment of the famous Sheahan 10c. Matted Pictures. You never saw Mosquito Canopies for babies
Cribs in Darlignton before, we have them. We handle the very best Mosquito Canopy that is made, THE PERFECTION. We have a full line of
Canopies in stock now. We have some rare bargains in Cotton Rip Mattings. We wish to thank our friends and the public for the patronage given
each one of il, in our particular line in the past, and most cordially invite one and all to come and see us. Yours for business,

Hoth partiv s are numerously
represented at the conferences
iii this city preliminary to the
campaign. At luncheon on
Thursday the president had as
his Ktiests Speaker Cannan, Sen
ator Dry den of New Jersey, and
Representative Hitt of Illinois.
They subsequently declined to
talk for publication, except thatj
the Speaker said "everybody
knows that the Illinois republi
can have endorsed Mr. Hitt for
vice president.” Senator Dry-
den repeated the announcement i
that New Jersey would favor the
nomination of Senator Fairbanks
of Indiana known to be preferred ;
by the president for his running
mate. |
Quite a Hurry was caused
yesterday by the announcement
that Attorney-tleneral Knox had
been selected by (lovernor Pen-j
nypaeker for the seat in the 1
I’nited States Senate made va
cant by the death of Mr. Quay.
The selection of Mr. Knox is said
to have been due to the persist-'
ence of Henry (\ Frick of Pitts-,
burc. manager of the United]
States Steel company. He is a
multi-millionaire. It is rumored
that Ambassador Choate may’
succeed Knox in the Cabinet.
Ata meeting of the Maryland
•delegates to the Democratic Nat
ional Convention it was inform
ally declared that, should Sena
tor (lorman’s nomination fori
president not seem practicable. 1
Judk r eCra> of Delaware would
be uarmlv supported as second
choice.

l
the classification of them accord-
inp to ape, it beinp understood
that all over seventy are to be
dismissed from the service.
There are several hundreds id'
these now liable to such dis
missal. There are 2.17;j veterans
in the public service here receiv
ing salaries from $1,200 to $2,000
per annum each. Of this num
ber eleven are over eighty and
one eighty-six. Most of them
sleep at their desks a good part
of the day. The Grand Army
posts insist that these men ought
to be retained because they arc
old solders without regard to
whether they earn their salaries
or not. Some of them do earn
their salaries and are excellent
and efficient clerks; but . uch are
few. It seems to be universallv
assumed that these clerks have
laid up no money, have saved
nothing from their large salaries,
and if dismissed would have to
be supported by charity. Un
happily,^ this is to a great extent
true. The government clerk
generally looks upon himself as a
favorite of Providence, whose
good luck is to last forever. So
thousands of them spend every
cent of their talaries and borrow
money of sharpers at five per
cent a month, and more.
Whether these improvident per
sons shall be supported indefini-
teiy is a question which mainly
concerns the tax-payers of the
eountrv.
I his city, through the triumvi
rate at its head, has extended
official greeting to the forty
"honorary commissioners" from
she Philippine archipelago now
making the tour of the country.
The president lunched them yes
terday. These gentlemen have
been selected by Secretarv Taft
and Governor Wright from among
the more intelligent of the in
habitants of those islands. They
travel without rxpense to them-
scives and are entertained by the
dies which they visit. Mr.
Tavera said yesterday, "none of
you can appreciate the emotions
which welled up within us when
our eyes rested on the White
House within whose walls your
beloved Pretident McKinley
evolved the intention of stretch
ing out his beneficient hand to
raise us up to the plain upon
which you stand and place with
in us the same beliefs which you
have in this great country.”

Henceforth let it be understood
that any clerk may be removed
from office for any cause and
that the civil service law fur
nishes no protection As. the
“lifts" abroad generally carry
people up. but not down, so the
civil service commission helps,
people into office, but has nothing
to do with their getting out.
The case of Rebeceo Taylor, dis
missed from the war department
because she wrote a newspaper!
article "disrespectful to the Pres- j
idem” treating of Philippine
matters, has been settled finally.
Her application for a writ of
mandamus compelling her rein
statement was a year ago denied
by the Supreme court of the Dis
trict. The Court of Apoealst
now decides that the courts have
no jurisdiction to consider the
merits of the case. The right of
appointment carries with it the
right of removal.
