Getting Ready for Business.
Mr E Carroll Burgess, manager of!
the People's Mercantile Co, left yes-:
terday afternoon for the markets of
the North to buy a stock of dry goods. !
^hoes and furnishings for their big!
department store on Hampton ave- i
nue. For the past two years little
attention had been driven by the
heads of the concern to their dry
goods department, as so much time
was taken up in looking after the
other branches of the company's
badness. 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.

WONDERFUL BILLIARDS^
the Gjr.io Frank Ives Played When He
Was Near Death.
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.

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.
