Beautiful American Cut Glass.

WE MAKE TO-DAY the most important announcement concerning Furniture which has ever been

made in the history of the Store.

The Winter Furniture Sale is an annual event. Thousands are waiting for it. Hundreds of

queries have come to us in the past few weeks as to the date of its commencement. Itis widely known as

one of the greatest merchandise movements of the entire year, and an event without a rival,n character, scope

or values. m m „ a

But the sale announced herewith is the best of the long series. On the three broad furniture floors and

in the reserve warcrooms is more Furniture than we ever assembled before. We believe it is also finer

Furniture and \u25a0 finer assortment than was ever shown before anywhere. And for this sale almost the en-

tire superb stock is marked.

At Straight Reductions of 15 to 50 Per Cent, withan Average Saving of a FourthThe usual prices of Furnitui'e here, as we believe most people know, are at least as low as and generally

lower than the same grade of Furniture willcost in any other place. The sale offers straight reductions from

our own regular prices, and every piece is plainly marked with a tag that shows just what the saving is.

The sale is in a class alone: not only because of the vast quantity ofFurniture and the very low prices,

but also because it is the best Furniture made by the best craftsmen in America. You can easily see this

by noting for yourself bow the pieces are made: how the drawers fit;how the under sides of chairs and tables

are finisbed: how every detail shows good wood and good workmanship.Furniture of practically every grade, every wood and every style is included. You can furnish your

house from top to bottom and as simply or elaborately as you choose. You can spend*

1.000 and save &300,

or $10 and save $5. You can buy Furniture of the sort to last for generations and save an average fourth

of the usual cosl.The Sale will continue for some weeks, and until the very last day there will be great opportunities.

But naturally some of the most noteworthy bargains willnot last after the first few days, and they cannot

be duplicated. Come to-morrow. -h and n«h f:<v>.-.

Tin- wise and great of Brooklyn once thought

that the opening of the under river tube woulddo away, for a time at lea«t. with the discom-forts of th* crush hours on th* Brooklyn Bridge.

Now the tunnel is open and the trains are inoperation in it,but the bridge is just about asbad as ever. The only transportation companiesthai are feeling the effects of the tunnel are theterry companies, and the ferries have nottroubled Brooklynites much any way since thebridge was opened. The hardest blow of allha? just fallen. Sufferers from the bridge jams

awoke tile other morning to learn that any per-son who has passed through the bridge crowdsuntil he ha« developed a poor heart, bad lungs

and weak nerves. can never hope to profit di-rectly by the tube. The tunnel air is condensedsufficiently to make it dangerous for him to

enter it.and ifhe defies the danger and ridesthrough it he is likely to go into a faint shortly

after reaching daylight again and wake up tofind an ambulance surgeon pushing the long,sharp point of a hyperdermic syringe into his

most exposed bloodvessel. That is the lessontaught by the experience ©f K. T. Daley. He\u25a0 woke in the coroner's office the other morning

alter taking a chance In th* tunnel with his

weak heart. But whoever else suffers from the

tunnel. Vice-President Calderwood reports thatthe Brooklyn Rapid Transit is not suffering-

Iron* it.

BROOKLYN SOCIAL CHAT

Playerpiai\os«/ a n.Professor Franklin W. Hooper, director of the

Brooklyn Institute- of Arts and Sciences, viewswith dismay the present attitude of Brooklyn-

ites toward . the work which he has 6pent somany years promoting. In speaking before theChiropean Society the other evening, be said:

"The Brooklyn Museum has all that it cando to keep Its head above water. Many influ-ences are at work dragging itdownward. Whatinfluence will e/evate the city? Twenty-five

years ago Ilooked to the high schools to up-

lift the city, but they have failed to do bo.

Any educational work is harder to-day than itwas twenty-flva years ago. If the museum.which now lacks support, has any excuse forbeing:, any justification for the work, time andthought expended for the gifts received thatexcuse and justification lie in the standard thatit has set in art and education. It is mission-ary work to try and uplift Brooklyn. Since Itwas annexed to New York its quality has set-tled downward steadily."
