Rev. G. Campbell Morgan, a Speaker of Rare Eloquence. Win! of til Boy? Is he ready for school Hardly, unless he has a spic-and-span new Suit in which to appear with becoming pride before teacher and playmates. Possibly you have not yet attended to this important duty.

Then we are just in time to point you the way that leads to satisfactory and economical investment. We lay great stress upon the exclusiveness of our boys' and children's Suits. The styles are exclusive, the qualities also. But there's nothing exclusive about the prices they're the same as are asked everywhere for commoner kinds. In broken lots of fall Suits we have some bargains that will gladden many a mother's heart.

For example Boys' 3-piece Suits, 10 to I6-yea sizes, $4.85. Children's 2-pece Suits, 3 to 1 0-year sizes, $2.85. Stout fabrics stoutly sewed as different from the ordinary bargains advertised as daylight is different from darkness. As for the brand-new things, our department is simply an exposition of all that is bright, novel and "kinky" in boys' up-to-date wear. Men's fall styles in Hats and Furnishings now HOUSE TO RENT CHEAP Furnlsbed or Unfurnished.

There was a near approach to a strike on the Sherman street improvement yesterday morning when the walking delegate for the American Federation of Labr, Meyers, asked the union laborers to quit work because there were some non-union men at work on the There were 00 men employed there by the contractors Whitmore, Rauber Vicinus, and among them were about a dozen non-union men Meyers asked the union men to strike until the others would join the union. The union men did so and work stopped. Then after a conference with the bosses of the job it was agreed if the non-union men joined the union, work would be allowed to go on.

The men objected to, in order to save trouble and their jobs, agreed to join the labor union and work was resumed. Walking Delegate Meyers then went to the Jefferson improvement, where the Warren-Scharf Asphalt Company has 150 men at work. There were fifteen nonunion men at work there, and the delegate induced the unimi men to quit until the others joined the union. It is understood that the men had promised from week to week to join the union, but when Saturday night and pay came around they faied to keep their pledge and pay their initiation fee. When the employees of the Warren- Scharf Company quit work, Superintendent W.

Stuart Smith was called up by telephone, at the office on Main street west, and when told of the condition "of affairs, said that Mr. Mevers was violat ing the terms of the agreement which the company and the union entered into when the laborers' strike was settled in July. 3lr. Mmtn stated that the union then agreed not to interfere with any non-union men the company might hire, and the company agreed not to discharge any union men because they were union men, and would not discriminate in hiring. The company said the men could suit them selves about joining the union.

Delegate Meyers then had a talk with both the union and non-union men, and the latter signed the constitution of the federation and the union men went back to work. HARD PAN FOILED DREDGE. Government Steam Shovel Tried to Ex cavate for Charlotte Waterworks. For some time hack the United States government dredge has heen at work in the harbor of Charlotte, dredging the channel of the accumulation of mud in the bottom, which in time gets so deep that the pas sage of boats is impeded. This work was finished recently and the dredge was about to leave Charlotte.

The municipal board of the village suc ceeded in getting the officials to allow the dredge to try its long, powerful steam shovel in the beach west of the village, where it is proposed to extend the infiltration galleries of the waterworks. The dredge went to work yesterday morning and every effort was made from then until nearly noon to make an excavation in the beech. The dredge worked 4 feet from the shore, and in five feet of water. Prac tically nothing could be accomplished be cause of the hard quality of the hardpan. or solidly packed clay, of which the beach is formed.

The big bowlders, it was said, could be raised, and there were many of thfm, but the clay was so hard the steam shovel could not get into it. The men on the dredge said it would he necessary to build a coffer dam in the lake and puni eut the water and then dig out the clay by hand. GOOD TEMPLARS.

Over 37 E. Main, street THE FALL TERMS Mechanics Institute Renovated From Top to Bottom. RECEIVING APPLICANTS Domestic Science Department Wll Open Monday Classes Forming; Capt. Lomb'a Gift of New Lathes Mechanic Arts Course Added. There is a bustle and a stir about Me chanics Institute in every department, which denotes that something is going to happen.

Kveryone about the place is mak ing ready for the fall terms which will open in domestic science department next Monday, and in the department of nne arts on Mondaj, September lth. All of the buildings have been renovated and redecorated in every room, and look as slick as a "new pin" from top to bottom. Miss Mary I. Bliss, superintendent of the domestic department, has returned from her vacation, and is superintending much of the work of getting things in order personally, as well as being at her desk to receive applicants for classes. The building is open from It) to 1 o'clock, and from 4 to all of this week, and pros pective pupils are rapidly being assigned to classes.

The management would urge all those who wish to join the classes to make their application early, as it is of the utmost importance that pupils should begin with the term. Kvery indication points to the most suc cessful year that the institute has ever enjoyed. New courses will be added, and much good material will strengthen the teaching force. Captain Lomb, one of the founders of the institute, and its staunch-est friend, has just caused new lathes to be placed in the manual training department at a cost of $lMKiO to himself, so that the facilities for turning out skilled workmen are of the best with the new equipment in this department. One of the most popular branches of work in the domestic science department is the dressmaking.

Last year there were eighteen classes, and it looks this year as if there would be many more than that. Already enough applications have been received to fill seventeen classes. Mrs. Barnard, who teaches the T. Taylor system, has been very successful, and the graduates from her classes are practical dressmakers as well as skilled ones.

The management of the institute is justly proud of its normal courses. There are two, and it is most important that pupils intending to enter these should begin promptly with the year. These courses tit pupils for teachers in those branches, and nearly all of the graduates of last year are filling lucrative and responsible positions. Miss Monell and Miss Stewart have been added to the teaching force of the institute; Miss Nettleton has accepted a position as teacher of sewing with tho Women's Educational and Industrial Union of Buffalo; Miss Sutherland has a position with the State Agricultural Col lege of Colorado as teacher of cookery. The normal courses offer fine opportune ties for young women, as there are more positions than there are trained teachers to fill them.

All through the West as well as in the East there are demands for trained teachers in these courses, and the compensation is large as salaries go. Among the improvements in the buildings noted are new hardwood floors in Mrs. Barnard's class rooms, also large cutting tables fitted with lockers, and all necessary appliances for facilitating the work. The millinery rooms have also undergone a treatment of paint, and new lockers have been added, which were greatly needed A new course called the mechanic arts course has been addd to the already var ied curriculum of the institute, which is especially designed for grammar school graduates. The subjects taught will fit one for the numerous occupation requiring a trained eye.

a skilled hand and a knowledge of the sciences, an! th practical details which enter into every industrial pursuit. elements and principles are taught by practical ii.structors and skilled mechanics, so that the advantages offered are greater under the old apprenticeship system Those who complete the course are fitted to enter any trade, a more thorough knowl edge of which they will acquire by con st ant practice. 1 he course will include instruction in English, mathematics, physics, freehand drawing, mechanical drawing, manual training in wood, including joinery, wood turning, pattern making and moulding; and manual training in iron, including forging, vise work, lathe and other ma chine work, and construction. Five days a week, both morning and aft ernoon, win ne required tor recitations. mar.ual training, laboratory work and lee- tures.

the course to be completed in three years. Examinations for entrance on Tuesday and Wednesday, September 2th and 27th, from 11 to 12 o'clock. Those holding grammar-school certificates will be admitted without examinations. Miss Scott, teacher of painting, has spent her vacation abroad, principally in Brit tany, and is expected home before the term opens. Many improvements have been made in her department The new catalogues for the year will be out Friday, and may be secured at the in stitute after that date.

The list of in structors for the year is as follows: De partment of domestic science: Miss Mary I. Bliss, superintendent and teacher of his tory of education and current topics; Miss Elizabeth S.

The art department of the Democrat and Chronicle is turning out the finest quality of half-tone plates and etchings from pen drawings. It -will be a welcome announcement to many that Rev.

G. Campbell Morgan, of London, England, associate of Rev. F. B. Meyer in the conferences held under Mr.

Moody's direction at Northfield, is to be in Rochester for three days this month, preaching and conducting conferences similar to those so largely attended and much enjoyed when Mr. Meyer visited our city two years ago. Three years ago Mr. Morgan came" to this country to preach at Ocean Grove. On closing his engagement there he was invited to Northfield by a friend of the conference.

Mr. Moody, having heard from Mr. Meyer of Mr. Morgan excellent work in Ixndon, invited him to speak at one of the morning services. He had time for only that one sermon; but so deep was the impression made by that sangle discourse that he was engaged by Mr.

Moody to go to Chicago and speak to the students in the Bible Institute. He did so, delivering a dozen lectures on Malachi. Before he returned home he was invited to return the following summer as one of the conference speakers. He came, and the wisdom of the choice was at once manifest. His addresses were intensely practical and deeply spiritual, while he had rare gifts of eloquence and power such as are possessed by few public speakers.

He remained a fortnight after the conference closed, speaking every day to laTge audiences. Not only that, but he was urged to return for the conference for the fallowing year, and at its close Mr. Moody insisted that he should come again this year and remain in this country for at least three months, carrying out a sort of Northfield extension movement. He will visit successively Montreal and Toronto, Rochester, Pittsburg, Atlanta, Kansas City, Chicago. Baltimore, Philadelphia, Boston, Brooklyn and New York city.

I'nder the leadership of a committee of leading ministers of various denominations in our city, he is to conduct meetings for the deepening of the spiritual life here for three days. He will preach in the Brick Church. Sunday morning, Septem-lwr 17th. and the same evening in the (Vntral Church. On Monday, the ISth, in the morning, he will probably address a meeting of ministers only, or of ministers and church officers, and will address public meetings in the afternoon and evening.

On Tuesday he will also address public gatherings in the afternoon and evening. The invitation will be extended through the pastors of the churches to the people of several hundred congregations throughout Western New York. The admission will not as in the case of the Meyer by ticket, but the first to' come will be admitted as long as there is room. Since the conferences are to be held in the main auditorium of the Central Church, certainly a laTge number can have the privilege of being present. FOUR ESTATES.

Wills Admitted and Administrators Ap pointed by the Surrogate. Two wills were admitted to probate yesterday by Surrogate Benton, and two administrators appointed. The first will was that of Kdgar A. Spring, late of Clarkson. His estate is valued at of which is in realty.

William Biehl, a farmer living on the Ridge road, in Irondequoit, was awakend about 2 o'elock yesterday morning by the barking of his watch dog. His house is near a peach orchard owned by him, and looking from a window- he saw two men stripping the trees of their fruit. Summoning hi hired man he left the house and started for the orchard. The thieves saw him coming and fled. He had a shot gun and he ined fire upon them with IxFth barrels.
