As this is an age of mercantile reform, I pro- pose to introduce a reform in fine Custom Tai loring. It is no secret that the profits in the ‘Tailoring business have been enormous. Most tailors are compelled to quote exorbitant prices to allow for the losses that invariably follow the wiving of credit. In the past year I have dem- onstrated to my satisfaction that I can sell from 20 to 30 per cent less than is usually charged by most tailors, and yet make a fair profit. I appreciate the fact that “the nimble sixpence beats the slow shilling.” I ell strictly for cash, do my own cutting, employ only skilled assist- ant tailors, and personally supervise all work leaving my establishment. 1am making up Trousers and Suits from the same hizh-«rade cloths shown by other first- class Tailors at prices from one-fourth to@ne- third less than they ask. #9 Trousers for $6. $15 Trousers for #11. aa * “1 oe “ 912. a2 « * ath “eer “ 13. 13 « “ 99 s20 ° “ $1450. oe “$10. $35 Black Suits I wish it understood that Iam not endeavor- ing to compete with cheap material, and infe- Tior-grade custom-work, thrown together in sole distant city, There are no finer Clothes imauufaetured than I handie, and to sum up I offer you elegant stylish patterns, first-class workmanship, a fashionable cut, and a perfect fit—and at prices considerably less than quoted by any other reputable Tailor.

They Go to the White House and Are Introduced to the President. HE TELLS THEM THAT HE LIKES TO SEE A GOOD GAME, BUT DIDN'T THINK HE COULD SEE THEM PLAY TO-DAY—SECRETARY HALFORD WILL REP- RESENT THE ADMINISTRATION, The base-ball tourists arrived in town this morning and took rooms at the Arlington. They looked like folks getting home from a grand picnic, at which no ants had crept into the pie, the pickles had not been spilled over the sandwiches, and the lemonade had not been iled by salt instead of sugar. They looked fat, sleek and happy. They chatted with their friends in the lobby of the hotel for some time, and at about half-past 10 entered carriages and were driven to the executive mansion, Mr. Spaulding, President Hewett, of the home club, and Mr, Lynch occupied the first car- riage. AT THE WHITE HOUSE. They were shown to the cabinet-room and in- troduced to Mr. Halford and Mr. Russell Har- rison, Secretary Windom strolled in while they were waiting, and Mr, Spaulding and Mr. Lynch were presented to him. Then the dos ding into the President's room was thrown open and the tourists filed in, Mr. Halford in- troduced Mr. Spaulding, who presented the others by name. When they had all shaken hands and were standing in solid ranks on the western side of the room. THE PRESIDENT SAID that they had just come in time to catch him, for he was going out for a drive. Then there was a momentary silence, which Secretary Halford broke by explaining to the President that the tourists would play a game at the es this afternoon. He thought that he would go down. President laughed and said that he was glad that the administration would be repre- sented. Mr. Spaulding said that he would be overjoyed. if the President could come himself, at which Mr, Harrison said that he was afraid he could not. LIKES TO SEE A GOOD GAME, “T used to go to the games once in a while at Indianapolis,” added the President, “and also at Chicago. Ilike to see a good game, but I He then bade the tourists good morning, to which they responded in chorus, and theu filed out and were driven back to the hotel. PRESIDENT HEWETT intended to have a talk with Healy before he left, he said, this morning. He had not yet seen him when the party went to the White House. He said to a Srar reporter that he hoped there would be no demonstrations of dis- approval on the part of the crowd at the game with reference to Ward. There was no feeling between him and Ward, he said, and he trusted that the game would not be marred by any unpleasantness, ee A SHOT IN THE NECK. Early Morning Pistol Practice on the Avenue. Yesterday morning about 3:30 o’clock ashoot- ing affray occurred at the front door of Wm. Nicholson’s saloon, on Pennsylvania avenue, between 12th and 13th streets, which came near being a tragedy. The shooting at such an early hour in the mornmg caused some excitement among the persons who ‘don’t go home till mornin’.” ‘The report of the pistol was heard by the officers on several adjoining beats, and all hastened in the direction of the sound, ex- pecting to find the dead body of a man and possibly arrest a murderer. Policemen Ellis and Heller were the first to arrive. Wm. Nich- olson, proprietor of the saloon, was there, and he admitted having fired the shot. John Shea, who had received the bullet from the pistol in the fleshy part of the neck, was also there. Both men were taken to the station. Nicholson was held on a charge of assault and battery with intent to kill, and a physician was sent for to attend the injured man. WHAT THE POLICE LEARNED. The police investigated the shooting and say they learned that Shea had caused the trouble; that with a companion named Hugh Flaherty he had been in the saloon, and Shea had made some trouble and was ejected; that he went away, but returned about the time stated and rang the door bell; that Nicholson answered the bell, and when he reached the door saw Shea standing with a brick in his hand; that he thereupon drew his revolver and fired through the door, ‘The bullet inflicted a slight flesh wound on Shea’s neck, but the broken glass and powder filled his eyes and did more injury than the bullet. The doctors from the Emergency hps- pital attended Shea, and he was afterward r moved to his home, No. Maryland ave oe The shooter was released on $300 bail. AFTER THE SHOOTING A RUN-O" After his release Nicholson went out carriage riding, and when near 12th street and Pennsyl- vania avenue his horse became unmanageable and ran over a young man named Stephen A. Davis and slightly injured him. Nicholson wi then aerawtadl by Officer Weedon, and he left $20 collateral for his appearan Se A DISGRACEFUL FIGHT, Men, Women and Children Engaged— One Woman Seriously Hurt. Avacant lot not many hundred feet from where the late George Juenemann received in- juries that resulted in his death, was the scene of adesperate neighborhood fight yesterday afternoon in which the Kenny and the McDonald families participated, It is difficult to tell just how the dificulty commenced. There were about ten members of the two families who were either directly or indirectly engaged in the row. The different causes assigned for the trouble are “Tom Kenny’s hat,” “Mrs. Me- Donald’s potatoes” and “Mrs. Kenny's tongue. The ouly person badly injured was Mrs. Me- Donald, whose internal injuries. may result in her death. Her husband says he did not recognize his wife on account of the blood and dirt that covered her, THE ORIGIN OF THE TROUBLE. “Go home to your penitentiary family ” is the offensive remark attributed to Mrs, Kenny. ‘That is what she is said to have told Maggie McDonald because Maggie’s brother is sojourn- ing at a government institution in Albany. Maggie's brother Mike called at the Kenny res- idence to resent the insult. The Kenny bro- thers—Jobn, Tom and Ned—met him and gave him «a warm reception. Mike was glad to get back home. When Mike’s mother saw him in the hands of the Kennys she went to his rescue, and it was then that the two families came to- gether like two trains trying to pass each other on the same track. rs. McDonald was struck on the head with a_ brick, alleged to have been thrown by Mrs. Kenny. She also received other bruises about the body and some cue kicked her in the stomach. Mike McDon- ald claimed that he was injured and Mrs, Kenny accused the McDonalds of having pulled her hair out. Tom and John Kenny each showed = they claimed were bruises received in the ght. MRS, M’DONALD WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD when her husband carried her in the house,but Dr, Maddox found that she might possibly re- cover when he examined her. The fight caused the inhabitants of that lo- cality to assemble on the lot and discuss the trouble. Policeman Wannell was the first of- ficer to arrive and he summoned a squad of officers from the station, Mrs. Kenny and her two sons, Tom and John, and Mike McDonald were They were taken before Judge Miller this morning. The men were fined §J0 each, and the case of Mrs. Kenny was cont on account of the illness of Mrs. McDonal MRS, MCDONALD SAID TO BE DYING.

This Week’s Elections—The Budget— Introducing the Chautauqua Idea. Special Cable Dispatch to Tak EvENtNG STAR. Loypon, April 15.—Political interest this week centers in the Birmingham election to- day and that of Rochester to-morrow. Schnad- horst says that if the tories vote, as they prob- ably will, the liberals will be badly beaten, Five hundred pounds would buy Rochester, but the liberals will not take up that line of business. There is only languid curiosity about to- night's budget. The revenue has been better than was expected, but owing to the surrender of taxes by country councils and thé navy ex- enses there will be a deficit of about two. mil- ions. The general expectation is that Gos- chen will meet it with several small tinkerings. In the unlikely event of any large scheme it will be one pound notes. The judges’ decision against women counsel- lors is # blessing in disguse to this women’s movement, ineligible as coun- cillors, the: dings of the councils in which they assisted are liable to be declared void. The great practical inconvenience of this will probably make the government intro- duce a short declaratory act at this session au- thorizing women to sit as councillors, The latest instance of England sitting at the feet of America is an influential meeting at Lord Aberdeen’s house to form a national home read- ing-circle’s union on the lines of the Chautauqua assembly. Mrs, Pearsall Smith, an American, is the best-received speaker. FOR THE ARCTIC CIRCLE. The Everest Exploring Party Starts from Winnipeg To-day. Wrynirea, May., April 15.—The Everest ex- ploring party leaves for the Arctic circle to- day. ‘The party consists of five, and is headed by A. W. Everest, the wealthy proprietor of a large stock farm, They go from here to Cal- gary, thence across the country to Edmonton, and they will descend the Mackenzie river until the Arctic ocean is reached, and at the mouth of that river they intend to builda ves- sel with which.they will try to round Cape Bar- row, a feat that has been rarely performed. They hope to return through Behring strait and sea and, skirting Alaska, reach Victoria in about a year's time. They have deposited 10,000 with the Hudson Bay company here, nd the company is placing all its resources at their disposal. They are also taking an elabo- rate stock of wares to barter with the natives. They fear they will meet with hostile Esqui- maux in the vicinity of Cape Barrow, and are making provisions for placating them by these meuns, The Call for Conventions to Frame Constitutions for the Dakotas. Bismanck, Dax., April 15.—Goy. Mellette has completed his proclamation calling for the election of delegates to the constitutional con- ventions of North Dakota and South Dakota forthe framing of state constitutions, The proclamation will be issued in accordance with the enabling act of Congress. Each of the broposed new states is divided into twenty-five istricts and each convention will have seventy five members. The issue of the proclamation defining the districts will precipitate as fierce a political fight as ever has been witnessed in North Dakota, owing to the fact that the con- stitutional convention is looked upon as the stepping stone to the Uuited States Senate. Owing to the minority representation the demo- crats hope to elect about one half of the con- vention und are organizing for a vigorous campaign, +; pep ee oe DANMARK AND DENMARK MISSING Was the Latter the Ship Which Col- lided With the Danmark.

The national steamship is now two days and several hours over-due, There is a possibility that the delay of the Denmark is due to her being in collision with the Dan- mark. It would be a strange fate that should bring these two vessels together a thousand miles out on the wild ocean, There is no ns of accounting for the way the Danmark in the sea when sighted by the City of Chester except by a collision, “Her stern was so deep in the water that tee waves were con- stantly washing over the after deck and her bow was so high that her keel could be seen. ‘The National line steamer Denmark left Lon- don on March 30. The Thingvalla steamer Danmark left Christiansand on March 26. The vessels could not therefore be far apart when the latter ‘was seen water-logged by the City of Chester. Several steamships came into port to-day, but so tar none have brought the wished-for news, The Hammonia, of the Hamburg-American line, came over the track of the Danmark. In fact all the steamers that come through the English channel take nearly the same course, The Cheniston came from Mediterranean ports and would be on the equatorial side of the northern European steamship track; the Brit- ish vessels from Liverpool and Queenstown and Glasgow and Londonderry would have a course tothe Arctic side of it. This is thought to increase the chances of rescue. Itis held that unless a comparatively la vessel, either a steamer or a ship, took up the shipwrecked people it would be most likely that the nearest point, the Azores, would be utade for.

Viexwa, April 15.—The Neue Freie Presse CRITICISING MR. O’BRI His Colleagues not Pleased with Some of his Recent Actions. Loxpoy, April 15.—The statement published in the Weekly Dispatch, a liberal organ, that Wm. O’Brien has brought an action for libel | against Lord Salisbury, in consequence of the premier’s utterances in the course of his late speech at Watford, is undoubtedly true. Of course, neither Mr. O’Brien or anybody else expects that the conservative premier will be compeiled by an English judge or an English jury to pay the sum demanded as damages, or, indeed, any other sum, but the plaintiff will be afforded an opportunity to introduce more or less testimony suppiementing that to be given by the Parnellite witnesses before the commis- sion, and the action will therefore be valuable, | not only to Mr. O'Brien, but his associate home- rulers. It is not to be denied, however, that Mr. O’Brien has given not merely his political opponents, but many of his friends, ample cause to question the wisdom of his course, and the strictures of many of his colleagues and admirers upon his conduct would, if they could be used in evidence against him, go far toward exculpating the premier from any la- bility for his utterances as an Irish editor. For the champion of a great cause to repeat- edly and with deliberation place himself in a position rendering certain his removal from the field of usefulness at a time when his active services are most needed, is not regarded even by Mr, O'Brien's apologists as an exhibition of acute judgment, and the displays of hot-head- edness, which have resulted in landing Mr. O'Brien in jail on several occasions, have been roundly ceasured by many of his friends, A PILOT BOAT SUNK.
