Between clothing made exactly right and clothing made "just t.o sell." The latter may look well for a tew days, but wear and weather soon betray the '•Justto sbll" sort.

Clothing honestly made of honest stufl keeps its shape and style proves its riuality the longer you wear It. That's economy.

Chicago, July 1.3.—General Joseph Wheeler passed through Chicago yesterday bound tor the Philippines on ail unknown mission. As he pur. it hinise.lt: 1 am ordered merely to report, to (reneial Otis anil do not. know what I shall have to do when I get there. I expect to let urn by December, when congress meets.

on active ser

vice. ihe only intimation Ci-eneral Wheeler gave as to the uurpose ot his mission was reply to an inquiry as to what

CICNI- RAI. HM-'.l.KIi

bethought of the situation in the island acquisitions, lie said: "I do not understand and no one in Washington seems to understand why it is that our people over there seem to have no idea of the ioices lo which they are opposedGeneral Otis makes no estimate and you will have observed that, neither General Lawton nor General Mac Arthur makes mention ot those forces in Ins reports."

Asked if he were sent by President McKinli to make an expert report on the situation the geneijil replied: "I am merely to report of Gemaal Otis." Miss Annie W heeler, the ueiK rai'-i daughter, accompanies him to Manila. She goes out as a R-.'.l Cross nurse and intends to remain so long as health permits or her services are need -U.

General Wheeler reiterated, his statement that- b" would not give r-n his seat in congress. ••That was setih-d in the last, congress," he said, jtit i: probably will have to be settled again by the next. At the last session a majority of the Democrats and many Republicans voted for me and I hope they v."ill do it again."

Agnation started to Have the Governor Declare? a acanrv. Birmingham, Ala., .Tiilv l:}.—Since General Joseph Wheeler has been ordered to the Philippines a renewal of the discussion about declaring his seatin congress vacant troin the lughth district has been begun. Last year, when General Wheeler was in (. aba, Attorney General Fitts rendered .in opinion for the governor to the effect that General Wheeler, bv accepting a command in the armv, had vacated Ins seat, and it was within the power ot r!:e governor to order an election to ii|] the vacancy. Commenting on the sentiment then and now, the Alontgoinerv .Journal, which is looked upon as the organ ol the state administration, says: "Uicn there was some sympathy tor the cause which Wheeler was engaged then a war with a loreign power was progress, and the country was a lianie ot pa'riotie fervor and enthusiasm over tin contest. But there is no sucli sentiment today as that which then swept over the country, and the people are in a more practicable mood and are inclined to look at tlungs in a more practical war, There are many people who would particularly approve the act it the governor were to order an election in the Eighth district to elect a congressman, and the governor will no doubt be urtrcd to take some prompt action in the j".e::hses."

Pittsburg, Juiy 13.—Thomas P. Day, vice president and cashier ot the Peoples' National bank of this city who viis injured at a grade crossing near Umontown, Pa., last Saturday, died yesterday afternoon, never having regained consciousness. Mr. Day was vice president, and a member of the executive committee ol the American Bankers' association, and president of the Pennsylvania Bankers' association. He was 47 years old and leaves a wife and two children.

(SETS A PENSION

Though Declared Dead by the United States Court at St. Son is. Washington, July K5.—This government, with quarterly regularity, is paying pensions to a man who has been declared dead by a United States court, and whose lite insurance has been paid to his widow—that is, his widow do jure. The Wackerle case is stranger than lietion. William Wackerle pf Company H, Ninth regiment, Minnesota infantry, still lives, in the opinion of the pension bureau. William Wackerle, same company and same regiment, was killed in a railroad accident as long ago as 1872, according to the verdict and the decision in the United States ci? cult, court at St. Louis 20 years ago.

Basing her claim noon the evidence and the finding ot the court that her husband was dead, Walberga Wackerle, the widow de jure, has been trying to get a pension

The case has been investigated again and again. Special examiners nave visited wirious parts ot the country and lia\e collected voluminous testimony. The conclusion arrived at is that William Wackerle still lives, and the government continues to pay the pension to him. deuying the claim ot the alleged widow. A decision to this ellect was made on July 1, 1S9U. The persistent widow has continued to press the matter, appealing the case tlu'ough all of the stages provided by law. bhe earned it to the assistant, secretary ol the inteiioi, Webster Davis, and he has declared that William Wackerle is still alive. "Iler husband," said Mr. Davis, "is now on the rolls us a pensioner. Beloro his name was restored, his case was specially examined, and his identity as tlie soldier who served in said company and regiment- was satisfactorily established. "The soldier," continued Mr. Davis, "gives a satislactorv account ot lit nisei and Ills hereabouts, and the date ot his earliest recollection up to lssx and subsequentl,y. He. bears a good reputation tor truthfulness and sobrietv. His signatures to his application lor a pension, May 21, lb(4, to the various vouchors lor pension, to his payroll in service, to his two applications for life insurance in 1870, and to his subsequent allulavits and pension application have been carefully compared and shown to be the signatures ot the same person. I am ot the opinion that the evidence this case tails to show the death ot the soldi e.-."

Mrs. Wackerle, IU her suit tor the insurance, produced a skeleton which her witnesses said was that of William Wackerle, killed on the railroad in 1S72She had much other evidence which was sufficient to satisfy the jury that her claim against the insurance eomii iv was 711st"-.

Mrs. Wackerle not only got the insurance money, but she collected damages from the railroad lor the death of her husband.

Today she is a widow de jure and her husband is a living pensioner de facto.
