A Fine Store

Mes-rs. Blitz & Langsdorf, popularly known as The Two Sams, have doue a good thing for themselves and the city. Their new store, although smaller, rivals the splendor of clothing stoies in the larger ciñes. The front, of stone and brick, is pleaiing to the eye, and the two showwindovrs, each nine feet deep, give every opportunity for fine diplay. The store is 110 feet deep. The tables and woodwork are of a&ii ; the gas fix tures are bright and pretty, the stock of goods is arranged with great taste, and altogether the effect is one that chartns the beholder. The opening on Saturday, in spite of the drenching rain, was a great suooesa. Probably the dark day and gloomy exterior was a good thing for The Two Sams' opening. The crowd was not apparently dimini8hed by the rain, while the darkness made it cecessary to licht all the eras jets, and tbe resnlt was a blaze of light and beauty in the store a'imost in mid-day, in striking contrast to the darkness without. The citizens crowded into the store during the afternoon in great numbers. Each lady was gladdened by the gift of an elegant basket, and each gentleman by a note book. Many women went with thinlydisguised mercenary motives in regard to thoue baskets ; but crowds of friends dropped in inerely to congratúlate the popular merchants and to see what they had done. In the evening the Chequamegon orchestra entertained the guests, who were more nnmerous than in the afternoon. The second floor ia devoteá entirely to overcoats. On the first at the end is the children's department. The dressingrooms and office at the right about the center do not obstruct the view down the magniflcent store.

We hope our friends will take advantage of this invitaItion, and join our ceighbors in this grand celebration. The regular season at Ford's Opera HouBe was opened last night. -'The Corner Grocery" kept the audience in constant laughter for three hours. The plot is 8mply a thread to string funny incidents upon ; but it is fun ot a highly concentrated quality, which would niake any kind of a spectator either laugh or bust. Mr.Griffin, as Michael Nolon, the upright man, with a rudimentary education, got more fun out of a telephone than is usually obtained from whole comedy. Yout)g Heme, a bad boy somewhat like Peck's but not go tiresome, excited trenendous enthusiasm among the boys, and all his acts were vociferously encored.
