Philadelphia, June 20?President
McKinley was not renominated at
the session of the Republican nation?
al convention today But tomorrow
will witoeaa in all probability the
unparalleled spectacle of both the
presidential and vice presidential
oandidatea being nominated by accla?
mation. Senator Hanna threw up
the aponge today. He found be
ooold not etem the tide of the pop
ular favorite without using the direct
influence of the administration at
Washington And this he could not
get. Possibly even with it he might
have failed But without the task
was hopeless The preeideot would
have no hand io ao effort to control
the conventioo He made knowo
directly to Mr Hanna his wish that
the will of the convention should not
bo thwarted, and when* that unequiv
ooal word came Mr Haona reluctant
ly abandoned the fight. With bis
retirement from the contest against
the Empire State governor botb nom?
inations could have been made before
the convention adjourned today. The
original programme was to nominate
McKinley today aod to nouioate the
caodidate for vice president, tomor?
row But the national Republican
committee bad made a compact with
the looal Philadelphia committee to
keep the convention here for three
daya, aod it waa feared that if the
nominatioo for president was made
today the oonvention might take the
bit io ita teeth and wind up the pro
oeedioga before dark. All the prep?

And cocaequently the immense

Of cot quest o'er tbs palm aod pine,

To spread the prestige of tby throne ?

Aod out where coaquered peoples groaa,
From manhood's rights debarred ?
And bast thou, then, that prayer forgot,

WOMEN IN TROUBLE.
The Approach of Motherhood io the
Occasion of Much Anxiety to All.
Every woman dreads the ordeal
through which she must pass in becom?
ing a mother. The pain and suffering
which is in store for her is a source of
constant anxiety, fear and dread, to
say nothing of the danger which the
coming incident entails. The joyous
anticipations with which she looks for*
ward to baby's coming gives wav to an
indescribable dread of the ordeal when
she fully reulizes the critical and trying
event which will soon approach and
have to be endured.
Women should hail with delight a
remedy which insures to them im?
munity from the pain, suffering and
danger incidental to child-bearing
Such a remedy is now offered, and
women need not feor longer the hour of
childbirth. "Mother's Friend"?is a
scientific liniment?and if used before
confinement, gently and surely prepares
the body for the great requirements
and changes it is undergoing, insures
safety to both mother and child, and
takes her through the event with com
Samtive ease and comfort. This won
erful remedy is praised by every
woman who has used it.
What woman is not interested in
"Mother's Friend?" This wonderful
remedy has been tested and its price
less value proven by the experience of
thousands of happy mothers who
have used it during the most critical
period of woman's life?the approach
and culmination of motherhood.
It has won their everlasting praise
for it gave them help and hope in
their most trying hour and when
moat needed, fevery woman may some
day need "Mother's Friend." The
little book, *'Before Baby is Born
telling nil about it. and when it should
be used, will prove of great interest and
benefit *,o nil oipectant mothers, and
will be aent free to any address upon
application to the Urudticld Regulator

In some of our departments, we are overstocked, and rather
than carry a surplus into next season, when the indications are
we can replace them for less money, we have determined to put a

In Clothing we have about
25 Crash Suits
Worth $3 to $3.50; we offer them at $1.95
This is actually less than the goods are worth to buy, and at
above price should not last long.
100 pairs Boy's Washable Pants?
sizes 4 to 15?35c to 50c values
at 25c per pair.
25 DUCK VESTS?Plain and fancy, single and dou?
ble-breasted goods worth $1.50 to $2?as long as they last
they go at 95C.
We have still some good values left in
Flannel Coats and Coats and Vests?
if you find your size we will guarantee to save you money.
Men's Low Cut Shoes.
Reynolds make $3 grade, as long as they last $2.40.
Bay State make $2 grade, $1.60.
Ladies' Oxfords?black and tan.
Godman brand?the $1.00 grade $1,10.
Ladies' Shirt Waists?With laundered Collars and
CufTs?formerly sold 40c to 50c, NOW 25c. The 25c
grade, 15c.
We have a few very desirable patterns: in
Silk Waists left
Formerly sold at 50, 75, 85c and $1 ?while they last they go at 38,50,
60c and 75c. These mult be seen to be appreciated.
What is left of our Silk and Wool Challies
we will sell at 23 cents.
It is needless to add that persons wishing to take advantage
of these prices will be expected to bring the CASH.
