WHY THE WASHINGTON CLUB SHOULD WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP. 1. Because it is very strong In the pitcher's pusition ‘and all the players unite in saying that Victor E. Adler's Ten Per Cent Clothing House is the best place in America to secure good clothing at reasonable prices, { 2. Because its catchers are excellent backstops and terrors to base stealers, just as Victor E. Adler's Cloth- ing House is a terror to old. fogy, high-price dealers &. Becanse its short-stop, although small, is a man of great Force in his position. And this should remind the residents of Washington that, although Adler's prices are low, he sells nothing but good, serviceable material and well-made garments. 4. Because there is a Gladman In the team and thou- sands of glad men in the city because Adler is selling good clothing at very small figure above actual man- ufacturing cost, 5, Because its infield fs a stone wall from which there is no escape for “liners,” “daisy cutters” and “rattling hits.” It takes fine fieleing as well as hard batting to win games, and the reason why Adler's Ten Per Cent Clothing House is the best place to buy is be cause you-are always sure of obtaining there the best of clothing at the lowest possible cost. 6. You may say, “Oh, Shaw!" after reading the ‘above, but the fact remains that if you “strike out” to buy youcan speedily reach the “home plate” of low prices by coming direct to Adler's Ten per Cent Cloth- ing House, which that most reliable of all umpires, “Public Opinion,” declares is the place you can safely: invest your cash and be certain of obtaining full value for every dollar you expend, Ye Souire will honor ye Festivito with his presence Ye White Elephant ot Burman!

Mr. Villee has boarded with ine for over a year, and during that year he rented for me the hotse mentioned in’ your article (hot rooms, as you have it), as you well know that property Owners in this city are very peculiar about renting to a lady, particularly a widow, and ft would be absurd for me to reni two runs when I bad boarders, and depending entirely upon them tor my’ subsistence.

Adopted. THE CHINESE INDEMNITY RESOLUTIO: In the morning hour the House in committee of the whole resumed the consideration of the Chinese idernity Joint resolution. Mr. Rice (Mass.) argued in support of the proposition, contending that the obligation of this govern: ment to pay damages, rested not on good will or a spirit of benevolence, but upon interna tional law. He cited precedents for his posi- tion. In the course of his remarks he Said: When England, through her carele let loose the erulsers whieh had drty merce from the sea, the United States had ex- acted idemnity; and he trusted that there would be now An arm as long and a voice as strong to exact Idemnity trom England for the injuries her subjects were now perpetrating and seeking to perpetrate upon American fisher- anen, [Applause] The President had assured vexs thal the outrd Rock Springs had mitted b had the outrazes “ago, Wh d been shocking the eoun- dhe (Mr. Ric in Cl ) hoped that the murder- icao would be visited with that n had not vet been visited upon their fellow assassins in Wyoming.
