Just two days are left in which to end the special August Furniture.

We have taken scores of pieces Parlor Suites, Tables, Chairs, Women's Desks, Chiffonniers, Toilet Tables and the like that were splendid bargains when marked at a quarter or a tnird under price and marked them all At Exactly Half Their Real Value And all these pieces are now assembled in. the front of the Furniture Store, presenting the climax of this great August Sale the most extraordinary offerings that even this stirring August Sale has presented.

And with such positive cheapness, remember that every piece bears the AVananiaker quality guarantee as fully as if you paid double the price in October. Every housekeeper in Xew York, or near enough to get here promptly to morrow morning, should visit this great Kound Up Sale, if she has the least desire to add to the furnishing of her home. Every dollar you spend buys a good two dollars' worth fifty dollars buys to morrow what a hundred can buy when this sale is over. As these pieces are larjxely odd lots, and one of a kind, it is impossible to list them without causing you disappointment iu case they are sold before you get here.

In support of her claim for' a divorce she accuses her husband of intimacy with several women whose names are unknown to her and a letter alleged to have been written by the defendant's counsel agreeing to a divorce, If no counsel tee or alimony was sought, was banded to Justice Cochrane with the papers. The letter was as follows: "Dear Sir Regarding the action in the Supreme Court of Kings County, entitled Jessie N.

Barry vs. Frank G. Barry, would say that defendant called to see us Saturday, and consented that a decree of divorce may be entered in favor of plaintiff, provided that she will waive permanently all right to counsel fee and alimony. If this 's agreeable you will kindly advise os. and when you have obtained judgment kindly send us a copy thereof with the notice of entry.

a dozen more people with others. When they all hear what we are going to do about that stable they will rise up and bless us. I'll befmy Sunday hat that when they come to their senses they will get up a big celebration. I'm not going to say where the new stable fs to be, but I am sure that when those who have been protesting hear of the site we have selected they will be very happy." HAD HIS WIFE COMMITTED.

Guidi of Cardinal Ram po I la's Office Announced in Rome.

HE WILL HASTEN TO MANILA. Successor to Mgr. Sbarettl, Whose Appointment Was Reported to Be Not Pleasing to Archbishop Ireland, Rome, August 28 Mgr. Guidi has been appointed apostolic delegate In the Philippines. It is expected to hasten his departure for Manila In consequence of information receiv ed at the Vatican of the organization of a schismatic Catholic Cburcb in the Phlllplnea.

The Vatican professes not to attach much importance to the movement and declares It "cannot develop under the leadership of persons whose sole reason (or organizing is because they are excommunicated from the Catholic Church." Mgr. Guidi has long been looked upon as one of the coming men among the trusted officials attached to the bureau of the Cardinal Secretary of State at the' Vatican. He was regarded as the most promising rival to Mgr. Falconio for the appointment as' delegate at Washington, having In the various important trusts committed to his care displayed signal ability and diplomatic skill. As long ago as October 20 of last year Mgr.

Sbaretti, Archbishop of Bphesus, and former auditor of the Washington delegation and Bishop of Habana, received the formal appointment of delegate apostolic to the Philippines. He started for Manilla by way of the United States, and calling at Washington, was baited there for some cause that has never been explained. He is still here, and Mgr. Guldt's nomination now makes him functus officio: Humor had It that Mgr. Sbaretti's appointment was not pleasing to Archbishop Ireland, who was then negotiating the programme that led up to the appointment of the Taft Commission to the Vatican.
