THE EVENING STAR bas tne fullest Local Cireuiation of any Newspaper in the Wertd, and ns an Advertising Medium is werth in Washington. SE Kew York Office: Room 93, Tribune Building, ‘The half-holiday granted to the clerks in the Treasury in recognition of today aa the bun- dredth anniversary of the foundation of the department is probably the only celebration of the event which will bo witnessed anywhere in the United States, There is nota city in the land that wonld not bave made more of a dis- play of feeling over a far less noteworthy matter if it had apppealed directly to local venity, and yet there is not one which does not owe much of* its posseasions to,te success which attended the enterprise of Alex- ander Hamilton one hundred years ago, The republic over whose financial destinies he was called to preside was a conglomerate of inde- pendent states, all jealous of the encroach- ment of federal authority and holding such an officer as a national tax-gatherer in holy horror. The treasury was empty and @ column of debts incurred im the stroggie for American liberty was to be met. It was s trying ordeal through which Hamilton had to pass, but he faced it boldly. Hed he failed, there is no telling what disasters might have followed, but it is probable that the Union of states would soon have been torn esunder, and all the benefits thereof which have ‘e been enjoyed by the whole people with the effect of making them rich and power- fal, would have been lost. Today is therefore a centenary of national interest, in spite of the fact that nowhere outside of the capital will an act be done in honor of it, While the late Samuel S. Cox may never take rank in history as a great statesman, in the sense of formulating governmental pohcies or ng the relations of our republic with its powers, it would be hard to put too high an estimate upon his public usefulness, Few n have died of late years who have left the ss of their handiwork more plainly on face of affairs in which the masses of the people feel a direct and personal interest, The secret of his success in these par- ticnlars is that be knew the measure of his own strength, and devoted it toa few things, which he mastered perfectly. Thi aving service, for example, was one of hobbies. He understood it from the b mup. When the subject was introduced in any connection on the floor of the House, 2Mr. Cox was ready with suggestions, explana- t tatistiea. It was the sense of his thor- ongh acquaintance with his subject that silenced objectors, and his fellow members themselves forced to grant his nds because they were powerless to refute sand his logic. the free delivery ent, which made him the idol of ers throughout the coun- oracle on everything per- work. When the question @ new states in the northwest was promptly at the front, battle in behalf of the applicants snd to his energy and wisely di- y be attributed, in no small 3 of the movement. It was nat Mr. Cox, when ho had It was the same way way, It was of no t the federal gov- hends of the re- made his fight of the postal de- 5 life-saving service; it tmattored J the applicant territories save ome were outwardly hostile to his party when jastice demanded their admission to the 1 no. Such a man forces respect even from cal enemies, for he disarms every feeling by his manifest patriotism. He jer of men in the best sense, mple which no young Ameri- ic life can afford to ignore can err in following. ssarilonn Sven ttn Now York Sun draws a moral of present $ om the Baltimore celebration of the British in 1814 It calls at- © fact that, allowing for the change of circumstances both in attack and defense, tue shores of Chesapeake bay are as open as 1Si4 to the ravages of an enemy, and that imore and Washington are as exposed to injury, if not captare. Washington and Balti- more have been reported by the fortifications board as urgently needing protection. This ioral applies more forcibly to the eapital than ts neighboring city, for the British raid, of ich @ repulse is celebrated in Baltimore, sh captured and injured Washington. The suus for the defense of the capital ought to be placed in position before the next war, instead of after the reminder of @ second capture and barning. EE Yesterday's storm, of which Washington got asta hint in the way of a wind which lifted e dust out of roadways and scattered it ugh houses and stores, brought the sub- stence of which the so-called tidal wave of I ous day was but the foreshadow. It . tdown from the northeast, taking New- rt, Coney Istand, New York city, Cape May, Dity, Ocean Grove and Norfolk in ite The greatest damage was inflicted, of e, on those places where houses and pavil- were bailt nearest the water, as at the ous sea-bathing resorts. At Coney Island »aed the season” more effectually than a i advertised announcements, and the of all the hotels are shut against visitors the he ment the today. —_—— The enerzy with which the Gulf Coast Oyster Plantivg Company of Mobile is carrying on its work of replenishing the oyster beds in its own territory suggests the adoption of some more sorous policy by the people engaged in the hereabout. Chesapeake bay furnisbes an oyster of far finer quality than that found im Mobile bay. We have im these waters no drumfish, such as play havoc in the Gulf, or starfish, which vex the souls of New Fagland oystermen; but we have a host of un- licensed dredgers who play their piratical trade with @ reckless disregard of public and private interests, Continual drafts and no replenish- ment mean the eventual ruin of the oyster in- dustry, with all the benefits that accrue to the community from it. It would be well for our own oyster harvesters to take example from their fellow workers farther south, and have an eye to the supply as well ag the demand. ———— As if disasters enough did not occur in rail- road travel through accident, the train wreck- ersare at work.

As Tr Occurs To Us ‘Talking of overcoate—did you ever stop to think that you spend about two-thirds of the year in one, and more'n half of that time in a thin one? It's 8 fact, Anything you've got so much use for wants to be carefully selected. The young men—most of them—want the extreme of style. That's what we believe in giving them. At the same time they ‘want refined, genteel garments. The older one gets ‘the quieter, more subdued their taste becomes. Bo ‘when we selected the patterns and fabrics for our Fall overcosts this season we commenced st the very Jondest and tapered down to the most somber—fight- ing shy of everything with acommon look, After we had taken » strong hold of quality—elegance was our next study, we've combined the two into choice effects. We'te taken Meltons, Cassimeres, Cheviots, Kerseys, ts, Tweeds, and Worsteds in the plsin and fancy patterns, im light and @ark colorings, and trimmed them up according to custom tatlor’s ideas, For instance, at $10 we've faced them with silk and satin, and fancy silk orsatin Sleeve linings, From $15 up to our outside limit— 885—we've got ‘em silk-lined all the way through— sleeve linings and all. In someof them the factngs Fun to the bottom holes. In others not, We don't ‘care where you look for ‘em you won't find the number Of atyles that we've got to show you; and es for find- ing our qualities at our prices that’s all out of the ‘Qestion. They're just as good as the best custom ‘coats, and lots cheaper—from $5 to $10 on a coat, About the length they should be worn. There's Aifference of taste about that. Some want the abort cover coats; others s medium length, and still others ‘want the extreme length. It's ® matter of fancy Durely.
