BUSINESS CHANGE Smith & Parrish Buy the Coffee & Rinehart Restaurant NOW IN CHARGE It is a Popular Place and Will Continue the Same Old Way ifmith & Parrish is a new business flrm that began what we hope will be a long and prosperous life today. They are John Smith and Frank Parrish and are located at the Coffee & Rinehart restaurant which they purchased, the sale being made late yesterday. This famous eating house was owned for many years by Jacob Martin, and was purchased by J. R. Coffee and Mr. Rinhart after the firm of Coffee & Baker dissolved. Mr. Coffee retires on account of ill health and will proceed to take things easy until he regains his health. Both the retiring gentlmen did a profitable business, made so by the courteous and business ’manner in which they treated their customers. The new 1 , firm are young and experienced business men and will make their place one of the most popular in the city. Mr. Rinehart has been retained as baker, and this insures this part of the business as being properly cared for. o ■ ■ — J. H.

White performed the operation—Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. The various young ladies’ clubs will commence to hold their meetings in a few weeks. These clubs are organized to spend the long winter evenings in a sociable time. The girls i should not be too selfish, but ask the boys occasionally. The Pierceton plant of Reid Murdock & Co., of Piercetton, Ind., canner 25,000 quarts of catsup Saturday and received 700 bushels of tomatoes to be used for the same purpose. They also receive about 800 bushels of pickels daily.

All the head teams in the different leagues wen yesterday, so it will not change the standing of these clubs any. They will be watched with interest from now on till the season closes. As yet it is hard to pick the winner, as no team has a cinch on the pennant. About twenty members of the Sam Henry G. A. R. post left early this morning for Van Wert, where they will accept the offer made by the fair association there to be their guests at the fair. The boys have visions of an enjoyable day, which should develop into a reality. Among the fashion notes in a society journal it was stated not long ago that a firm of dressmakers or drapers in New York have on their bcoks the names of forty ladies whose accounts for dress materials exceed 310,000 per year. Their bills are presented semi-annually and paid by their happy husbands without a This account leaves out such things as jewelry and laces, which may be considered a kind of permanent investment, but is confined to perishable articles, silks, satins, embroideries and such things a a women ordinarily class as dress. Now, while it is not worth the trouble to assert that a man with an income of 3100,000 annually has no right to spend 310,000 on his wife's dresses, still It can be readily seen the matter involves something far more important than the mere legal right of a man doing with his income as he wishes. Dress is simply and rightfully to increase woman’s attractiveness, and the time must arrive when this attractiveness cannot be increased by an incessant variation of costumes. This latter simply means a life of making, putting on and off clothes and becoming a wearisome lay figure. The idea of a perfect dress mast come some time, and to go beyond ft or back of it must lessen good looks. Yet any one spending 310,000 in frocks must run his chance.
