The day for extortion has passed, and the occupation of the ' OM Tinier," who operated upon the idea that purchasers knew nothing about furni ture, and hence charged them what, he pleased, is gone. Daily newspapc-s con taining quotations of prices on all lines of goods known to the business world, keep the people abreast of the times, and in 'these days of fierce competitioi. only the dealer succeeds who gives his purchasers the largest possible value for every dollar expended by-tham. Years ago Blair founded bis business upon the principle above stated, and has never had cause to regret it. He has fought extortion -with all his power; has at all times done the best hi could by his customers, and the PRICES he ia quoting today, on all kinds of furniture, still indicate a conscientious desire on his part to 'treat them as well in the future as he has done in the past. TVo. 45 Patton Avenue, THIS MORNING'S NEWS. A patent has been granted to R. Durham of Burlington, N. C, on. steam boiler. Lr. a England has a larger army in South Africa than was ever sent across an ocean by any nation. It is predicted "that Governor Taylor will not live to witness the next elec tion; that he is held responsible for the death of Goebel, and that a hundred men. have sworn, to 'take his life in. re venge. Taylor has received many anonymous letters, threatening and warning him, bu't he pays no attention to them, although a guard iskept .con stantly about his rooms. Khaki has become a popular material for wearing apparel in (England . The pace was set by the prince of Wales, who ordered a cloak and skirt of 'the same material worn hy ithe Imperial Yeoman ry. The duke of York next had a com plete suit made of the material, and now society devotees generally are or dering clothes made of .1. Fifteen hundred miners in 'the region of AUtoona, Pa., have heen advised that they will receive an increase of 20 per cent, today. In Paris, according to a recent order of the under secretary of state, to avoid transmission of infectious diseases, the receiver and transmitter of a'll public telephones must be disinfected daily by being washed with a strong solution of carbolic acid. , An inquiry at the bureau of statistics "tehows 'that there ha-s been a large falling off in the amount of liquor shipped to the Philippine islands s'ince the Ameri can occupation. During the last year the 'total was 1,228 gallons of wine, 19, 275 gallons of whiskey and 65,344 dozen bottles of beer, which is about one-fifth the average amount exported during the last ten years of the Spanish occu pation. A correspondent of a Louisiana coun try paper writes: "I have had an en gagement with a young lady for the last three months to take her buggy riding the first afternoon the roads would do to drive over. The engage ment is still pending. Now you cn imagine the condition of our roads." Fierce blizzards are reported in the north and west and! have also proved their existence by not entirely ne glecting this locality. February has been as uncertain and capricious, not to eay generally disagreeable, this year as a month well could be. Weather prophets, however, promise something foetter for March, for the weather usu ally "averages"- about the same every year and is bound to make up for any special spells of hatefulness.

For sick headache, dyspepsia, sour stomach, malaria, torpid liver, constipation, biliousness and all kindred diseases. Tutt's Liver Pills an absolute cure. Cronje seems destined to become the popular hero that Cervera was in our late war. The triumphs of war are not all to the victors. Molineux is sentenced to die in the week commencing March 26, but many a chronic invalid1 would like to ex change his chances for life with Mo lineux. Lawyers are often more pro ficient than doctors in prolonging a condemned life. New York is excited over immorality on the stage. Judging from newspaper reports of the plays now running both the plays and1 the dramatic critics should be suppressed. The latter not only are advertising the former but giving the public a chance to read the worst parts of them. Michiganders have sent a petition to President McKinley asking him to stop the Boer war. In view of the fact that McKinley has not "stopped" the Ken tucky war, he may think it a bad pre cedent to interfere between his Brit ish and Boer subjects. He will prob ably at least continue to wait until each side asks for intervention. "ftrhile the stubborn fighting of the Boers fills the public eye and com mands the admiration of mankind.thosa who would guess the outcome of the South African war will watch the de- Velopments in quite another part of the world. Russia's recent diplomatic suc cess in Persia,- the reported' massing of Russian troops on the southern fron tier and the state of military activity in Russia are significant. Afghanistan and Thibet are the little buffer states between two contending empires. Eng land has spent much blood and money to extend the northeastern border of her Indian"" empire up across the Him alayas. For two decades she has been carrying on small tribal wars and send ing out expeditions jamong the tribes men of the northeastern- hills. She has pushed her strategic railways in the north of India nearer and nearer the land of her desire. It has long been known that Russia has had designs on this Himilayan territory and would like to extend its influence into these disrupted little kingdoms if once the opportunity presented itself. Whether Russia thinks the opportunity has come for a move in this direction may only he surmised, but the suspicion is gen eral that Russia has some project In view which would be distasteful to England, and which, if carried out, would necessitate a compromise in South Africa, a compromise that has gained an advantage in the field'. Count Boni has been in Paris for three days and the duel with the euitor of the Figaro has not yet come on. European attempts to bring pressure to bear upon England have reached the newspapers. The Neuste Nachrichten, of Berlin, publishes an article which says: "The Boers will fight until the last drop of their blood is expended, while England' will continue to make enormous sacrifices in lives and money in order to win success. But is Eng land strong enough," the article con tinues, "to make these sacrifices and at the same time feel safe on -the score of its colonial possessions, especially India and its Suez canal?" It has been rumored persistently that the Boer strategy was due to the direc tion of German officers, but the first direct evidence of the presence of these officers in the Boer army is the capture of Major Albrecht with Cronje's troops. 'Notices are published to the effect that a "Magazine for Bachelors" has been started hy two Chicago women. It is not stated whether it is a pow der magazine or a tract to reform them. Were it not for the dentist many a long-felt want would remain unfilleu. t MARCHE. 1 Invites inspection of their beautiful line of NEW SPRING DRESS GOODS, composed in part of PLAID BACK goods for' skirts, PLAIDS from 15c. to finest CHEVIOTS, SERGES, CLOTHS, HENRIETTAS, .

During the week will show a good line LADIES' SHIRT WAISTS. SOMETHING WE WOULD MUCH LIKE TO SEE Editor of the Gazette: Once more we ask space to .name a thing that we would much like to see, and of which today we think there is greater probability than has appeared for some time past. Happy too are we in the conviction that our wish finds a responsive echo in the hearts of an immense majority of our people. Our most earnest wish is, that we may speedily hear of a complete ces sation of the awful carnage in South Africa. In this wish we know all win agree, but perhaps we may riot be so in accord in our reasons for entertain ing this hope. We older men of the south have seen a most remarkable instance of history repeating itself presented in the many points of similarity "between our civil war and that now in progress. It seemed to us then, and it" seems to us now, that the "heartfelt sympathy of all men must be with the effort of the southern states, to sustain what they sincerely believed to.be their rights. So again, our sympathies go out to the government of the Transvaal and of the Free State. We hope that the name of "Free State" may be one that they, as all people, may long deserve and enjoy. Looking back, we now see that in 1861 it was inevitable that the more powerful must succeed. Tne same is the case now.. Looking back, we also see that this result was the best for all parties. We could not see it then, but it is generally admitted now. So also our judgment is that suc cess to Great Britain will surely bring great benefit to 'both parties. If asked for our reason for this opinion, we need only reply,- that this is not the day of miracles; that only by a miracle can a weaker nation compete with one im mensely the stronger. That one nation is the stronger, simply in proportion as it has represented progress; that an other is weaker, simply as it has stood against progress.' This result depends not at all upon the personal character of the officials composing either nation. The stronger may be all bad men and the weaker may be all good men, but the inevitable result is the same. To us it seems that some of the officials of the English government compare unfavorably with some of the officials opposing them; but it would be most wrong to conclude that this fact, if fact it is, applies to the people of either na tion. The one fact which seems to us Indisputable is that Great Britain represents progress and her opponents oppose it. If such is the case there can only be one result. The sooner that result is attained the better for hu manity. Now, it seems to us, is offered an unexpected opportunity for the speedy realization of the inevitable, and for the stopping of the terrible bloodshed which must distress us all. Wonderful success has attended the British arms. It affords that great nation an opportun ity to show magnanimity of character; we know that her people posses that characteristic. Let us hope that they will be truly represented by their gov ernment; that it will be speedily man ifested by their asking our government to enter upon a friendly mediation. Our position of strict neutrality and friendship for both parties well quali fies us to undertake this most Honor able -duty. We cannot imagine that the nation at present feeling the inev itable effects of its own weakness, would hesitate to unite in such a re quest. The initiative should come from the stronger and successful nation. My hope is that it will so come; that we will all again feel proud of our mother country, both because she rep resents progress and also that she and her people stand for true magnanim ity.
