Mr Burgess tells us that he is going to buy a big stock of dry goods, shoes, furnishings, etc, similar to that carried by the firm when its store was located on Academy street. Within the past week or so a partition and additional shelving have been run through the center of the big storeroom, and hereafter the grocery department will be practically cut off from the shoe and dry goods department.

Frank C. Ives lived lie would without doubt have become the greatest billiard plaver the world ever saw. When Ives got >ick lie sold his interest in the 100111 he had opened in New York, but continued to make the place his headquarters until declining health caused him to start for Mexico, where he died after reaching Progreso on Aug. 31, 1899. 4.1*. I..4.~ EV-.I \JllV evtfm.lj; llir lilic 1 riuiiiouu Poggenburg visited the room and, finding Ives, said: "Come on, Frank, and play some billiards with me. I want a little practice for a tournament." "How shall we play ?" asked Ives. Poggenburg replied: "I want to play 11-2. Suppose you play 600, and I will make all I can." Ives agreed, ami, although emaciated by the lung trouble which resulted fatally a few mouths later, the "Napoleon" of billiards had the grit to engage in a long game. He won the bank, counted on the opening stroke, and Poggenburg sat down. There he sat until the game was finished. Poggenburg did not get a shot. Playing with the care and perfection which characterized his performances when a well man, Ives retained control of the balls until he had scored 600. Then he almost collapsed. As he withdrew from the table he remarked: "If I had had another point to make I would not have been able to make it I was able to make the run because my mind was on 600 points." Poggenburg declared he enjoyed the entertainment more than if he had a chance to play and pronounced the exhibition the most wonderful he had ever seen.?Exchange. To Core a Coidla One Day.
