Carr, Notary Public. $< ae Dressmakers are known the world over as inflexible despots, ruling their customers with srodof iron. The French dressmaker who caused the arrest and imprisonment of three American ladies in France, extorting thereby the amount of her bill for dresses which these ladies had not accepted and concerning which there was dispute, has, however, overstepped her jurisdiction. Women who are accustomed to be postponed and bullied and discommoded as the humble subjects of the reigning dressmaker will revolt when treated as thieves. The worm when trodden upon will turn, and not all the habitual reverence for dressmakers will prevent the ladies from protesting vigorously against the use of a French dungeon to persuade them that dresses fit or are made of the ordered material and should be accepted and paid for. ‘The three American ladies in this case have been subjected not merely to the royal whims of a dressmaker, before which they are ac- customed to bend, but have been insulted by the brutal violence of a French policeman and a stupid French magistrate. These men may, without treason, be called to account. If the French expect the Americans to make their exposition a success and to spend millions this summer in France, their government must sce to it that officials treat ladies from the republic with courtesy and consideration, anf that the latter are not robbed through the extortion of money by insult and false imprisonment. a Chicago is to have the first chance to secure $600,000 from J.D. Rockafeller for a Baptist university. The Standard Oil man has offered that amount towards such an institution pro- vided others will contribute 350.000. The great Baptist university of the future which shall bear the same relation to other educa- tional institutions of that denomination as that of the new Catholic university at Washington to existing Catholic universities and colleges will naturally be located at the capital. A word to the wise and rich man seeking the best place in which to found or develop a great university is sufficient. ~~ eee Indications multiply that the consent of the necessary number of Indians to the opening of the Sioux reservation strip will be secured, and that the eleven million acres of land will be thrown open to settlement before the territory becomes a state. South Dakota has avoided all chances of delay in admission as a state by adopting with substantial unanimity the state constitution previously framed at Sioux Falls. Between the adjournment of the last Congress and the meeting of the next South Dakota will be able to boast such substantial acquisitions as the addition of a strip of land to its available territory as extensive as Massachusetts and New Hampshire combined, the opening of di- rect railroad communication between the Black Hills and Southeastern Dakota, an excel- lent state constitution, and statehood. oe If the report proves true that Mr. Severance, the newly-appointed minister to Hawaii, is not acceptable to King Kalakaua, we may soon have a chance to sce whether there is any color line in the deference which this republic shows for the feelings of royalty. Would Kalakaua be forced to accept against his expressed prefer- ences what Frances Joseph and Humbert were permitted to reject without protest? > + The bears in Wall street who are trying to depress the market on the strength of a ship- ment of three or four million dollars in gold to Europe are not likely to make a brilliant suc- cess of their effort if the people who are ex- pected to respond can once be brought to study the figures of the case. The bulk of this ex- port goes to England. But the bank of Eng- land, according to its own statement, is to-day holding seventeen million dollars more in gold than it held one year ago, and nearly four mil- lion dollars more than its average stock of gold in the last week of May for four years past. It is plain, therefore, that the latest import is not demanded to supply a deficit. The greater probability is that it is desired merely for the settlement of trade balances between the two hemispheres, in which event the shipment is without speculative significance. ——— -- The man who bought a straw hat ten days ago is looking for a chance to exchange it for a tarpaulin. —— sm The proposal made in New York to sell beer by the pound instead of by the quart has the virtue of candor behind it. The public are evi- dently getting tired of paying full price for a drink consisting of two tablespoonfuls of liquid and a heaping glassful of froth. The latest discovery by the redoubtable Prof. Wiggins is that the earth is moving away from the sun, and the seas drying up so steadily that “the time will come when it will be necessary to carve up the continents by canals, as we see on Mars.” It is safe to predict that, long be- fore we have begun to carve up the continents, the surgeons will have carved up Prof. Wig- gins, to discover whether the disorder of his brain extended all through his nervous system. ——————————eeeee Lexcu Goons. — GREAT VARIET MEATS, ’ es ba MANY KINDS.

SOMETHING TO SAY ON MEN'S SHOES. ‘Three new styles in Men’s Oxfords—All three Kangaroo—solid leather. ‘The first is the “Bon Ton”—That’s the shape of the toe. It's got a tip—a fancy one. Soft, pliable and wearable. The best quality that’s made. The second is the Harvard—a plain toe—but a neat, shapely Shoe—comfortable ag a matter of fact. Nothing better in Oxford's can be put together. ‘The third isa Kangaroo Walkenphast—grace- ful—stil thoroughly English in shape—com- fortable as a Walkenphast must be. Hasa plain tipped toe, and is a Shoe you'll want to dupli- cate after you have tried a pair. ‘These three styles are $4.95—at other places you'll be asked 86 for the same identical things. If you pay that it’s so much loss to you. 84.98 admits of no margin for fancy prices—but the quality and our selling profit is just covered. It represents solid value—every cent of it. Russet Oxfords—genuine Goat—three quali- ties, $1.98, 22.48 and $3.37. All good—but of course in different degrees of finish. We'll guar- antee every pair no matter what the price. We don’t do this idly for we know the goods—and they're bound to come out at the “big end of the horn"—every time. In Russet Bals. we've three grades—$1.98— $2.50 and $4. That's a good quality, a better and the best. The Boys like the Russets, and we've got them in Oxfords and Bals—with every atten- tion paid to the easy-to-wear-out-points, You can kick them and they'll stand it. The Boys’ and Youths’ Iron Clad at $1.98 need but a word of reminder from us. They're in the market long enough and have so favor- ably impressed themselves on your mind that a hint isasgoodas @ volume. When you want all-around Shoes don’t pass by the “Iron Clads.* ‘They're on a par with the #1.98 Black Bottom genuine Kangaroo for Men. The hint is all that’s necessary. The sizes are complete. THE DRIFT OF THE FURNISHING TIDE. Something to keep the rain off is the most thought of to-day. A Rubber Coat oran Um- brella—either or both. We've a line of Rubbers we call Feather- ENGLISH weights—essentially a coat for summer wear. They weigh only s few ounces, but the water couldn't get through them any more than it could through a piece of sheet-iron. Besides these, Coats with and without capes ands full line of Water-proof Cassimeres. We're still singing the praises of those Gloria Silk Umbrellas—26-inch at $1.25—28-inch at $1.50, with Black Stick or Snake Wood. They're made for dusiness—are light and ter-proof. We'vea full line of Silks—with gold, silver mounted, or natural wood sticks, from $2.50 to 86-26, 28, and 30-inch. An equal division—all our 50-cent Neckwear —Scarfs that are in style in pattern and shape— Four-in-hands and Tecks—are divided in price— dust a half—25 cents. We're making a display of them in the window. A quarter buys any one of our regular 50-cent goods, This will make a clean sweep—that’s what we're after. It's Underwear time—and, of course, things are booming. The Angora Shirt at 40c. anda Bal- briggan at 50c., and from that up to $6.50 for pure silk—all shades and combinations. You'll find just what you want if you'll give us the “tip.” Neglige Shirts are wearable now—All pat- terns that are unique in Flannels, Domets, Cheviots, Madras and Sidk, from 50c. to $4.50. ‘These are qualities based on our pricings. Our 50c. Night-Robe—and the 48c. Un- Jaundried Shirt—lines we've had made for us expressly—are complete—Higher-priced goods if you want them. S8A4KS AND COMPANY, SIMPLE STATEMENT OF PLAIN FACTS. The world of clothing never ssw such BARGAIN VALUES as are these suits that we are offering to-day AT FIFTEEN DOLLARS EACH. ‘The boisterous claims of others resolve themselves into “thin and empty alr,” when those faultlessly-fit- ting and thoroyghly-tailored suits of ours at FIFTEEN DOLLARS EACH are seen and examined and tried on. ‘We have catered to the wants of Washingtonians for the past forty years, We have ever carefully avoided exaggeration in our statements and extravagance in our claims. With such a record we fairly assume that our statements are entitled to credit, We make the statement NOW that these suits that we are selling at FIFTEEN DOLLARS EACH bear the palm of superiority over the best that others boast of. They wre made from home and foreign fab- rics of unquestioned merit, constructed into garments of incomparable fit and finish, and FIFTEEN DOLLARS EACH is the price we are enabled to name for the choice of a brilliant assortment of bright, new styles—not the scourings of the New York wholesale lofts—track that bas been examined and “passed” by shrewd merchants everywhere. These FIFTEEN DOLLAR SUITS of ours are on our counters, ready for you to see, han- dle, examine and try on. As they seem so they are. We do not seek to heighten the effect of their excel- lence by surrounding them with flowers or filigree work, or Chinese lanterns. Not much. We want our patrons to know what they are buying; to buy these suits for what they are, and they are beyond question or cavil the best values ever shown in Washington or elsewhere at FIFTEEN DOLLARS EACH.
