Why ~ the Palais Royal wins is told of somewhere below. 8 _stanaxerentets as if embroidered by fairy fingers at only 19¢ each makes the Palais Royal a sure winner because none dare compete. [7 Are not we merchants engaged in a race and are not your favors the prizes we compete for. A streak of luck—call it what you lke—bas Possessed the Palais Royal of late and the “buyers” of the various de- partments have won many first prizes. Most of our competitors are friendly enough; generous enough to state—many of them—that the Palais Royal bas been in grand form all the summer. Of course, some- times, we run against one another in the excitement of the race and ‘say things we regret in cooler moments. Cases in polnt are as follows: ‘The Men's Shirts at 89c bave the latest style fancy percale bosom, with and without cuffs to match—g white collar {s worn. We find these Shirts are, if anything, better than those sold by a leading com- petitor at $1. When he ran up against us in the race for your patron- age he sald ours were inferior, but we think be could not bave seen ours.His and the Palais Royal Shirt are here for you to make comparison —you shall judge which is best. Ladies generally are aware that Warner's “Health? and “Coraline” Corsets sell everywhere from $1 to $1.25. When we advertised them for ‘Tc the makers were written to by some of those who sell them at higher prices. We secured first place in the race by securing the trav- lers'—drummers'—samples. Bought at a price reduction, we share the ‘Advantage gained with our patrons. Should we be blamed? And now are to offer “P. D."* Corsets for $1.50 that usually sell as high as $6.50. We anticipate those slower in the race will want to claim “a foul.” However, here are short, medium and long D." Corsets, in sateon ard Italian cloth—the well-known makes that sell from $2.25 to $6.50. Your choice for $1.50 patr. And just because our Wrap buyer was smart enough to discover a maker willing to dispose of Autumn-weight Jackets, Suits, Walsta and Wrappers at a loss, tn order to secure needed cash, we were accused of only having old stock, like our slow competitor. ‘The Skirts that bring the Palais Royal abead of others have only Just arrived. They are warranted fost black sateen skirts, with single and double rufies, at 98c, instend of $1.50 and $1.75 each, Mohair Skirts, with deep yoke band, are $1.75, instead of $2.68. Black Sateen Skirts, with ruffle and 4-inch wide lace edge, are $1.15, instead of $1.68. ‘The Wraps, etc., that bave attracted the unkind notice of brother merchants, not tess than the enthusiasm of so many ladies, are told of below, So are the 25e, 35c, Boe ard 68 Handkerchiefs at only 19¢ for $5.98 for the Black Djagonal Cupes that will sell later at $7.50. They have the new stylo Worth collar ard the correct ribbon bow at front. $8.98 for the Black English Diagonal Capes that will be so popular at $10.50 each. Note that the Worth collar is embroidered after the style of the expensive imported garments. $10.75 for the Imported Diagonal Cloth’ Capes that cannot be bought later to retail at less than $12.50. Note that the satin trimmings are adjusted in what is called the millinery fold—a most effective, but skill- requiring and time-consuming operation. $2.98 for Cloth Jackets that are to be a special at $5. Note the stile facing and other details seldom secn in five-dollar garmenta, $3.98 for choice of various styles of Jackets that cannot be bought later to profitably retail at less than $6, $7 and $8. $4.08 for choice of the Jackets that include those of Black English Diagonal Cloth, made up exactly like the latest imported tallor-raade $5.98 for not a few one-of-a-kind Jackets that would be judged worth from $10 to $14 by those who make a specialty of exclusive novelties.

EVANS DENTAL PARLORS, 1217 Pa Ave N. W. sez" DISTRICT AFFAIRS. The Aypelaton at the New School ‘Trustees Rests Entirely Wi Commissioner Ross, Who Will Be on Duty Some- time Next Week—Other Matters. Commissioner Ross is improving very rapidly. He was up and dressed today, and walked around the room. He states that he will be on the stand Monday to witness the centennial celebration, but will not make an addross, Commissioner Parker visited him today in reference to the appointment of school trustees, and it was decided between them that no action should be taken until Com- missioner Ross’ return to the office, which will be about the middle of next week. The matter rests entirely with Commis- sioner Ross. Such business comes under his Jurisdiction exclusively. He has not si ed whether he is for reappointment of the retiring trustees or not. Commissioner Parker said today that both he and Com- missioner Powell would abide by Commis- sioner Ross’ wishes in the matter, so the appointing power 1s virtually vested in Commissioner Ross exclusively. Orders for Work. ‘The following orders were issued by En- gineer Commissioner Powell today: Order- ed, that the sum of $6,000 is set apart as an additional allotment for the quarter ending September 30, 18%, chargeable to appropria- tions as foliows: Cleaning and repairing sewers and basins, 18M, $4,000: permit work, sewers, 18, $2,000; that J. R. Elder, sub- inspector, in the sewer department, is pro- moted to be inspector, at $ per day; that water main be laid in alley of square Ib, instead of in Walter street between 12th and 13th streets southeast, as heretofore ordered; that catch basin be constructed on | the northwest corner of Mth and Emerson streets northwest, during the fiscal year of 18%, ut an estimated cost of $75, chargeable | to appropriation for main and pipe sewers, 18%; that Foreman Henry Boucher is drop- ped'from the roll of the sewer department. Rullding Permits. The following building permits were ts- sued today by the inspector of bulldings: Pauline Kilt, to repair house 1815 K street northwest; $1,000. Jacob Kries, to repair house 1002 41-2 street southwest; $300. Mat- tie R. Patterson, to repair house 513 3d street southwest; $160. Michael Murphy, | to repair house 1622 Vermont ‘enue north- west; $150. Mrs. Chamberlain, to repair) house 229 New Jersey avenue northwest:| $1.00. Henry Chapman, to repair house Am Order Rescinded. The order authorizing the appointment of a temporary overseer at the Washington Asylum with compensation at the rate of $50 per month was rescinded today. No reason is assigned. Recommended for School Trustee. Mrs. Ellen Powell Thompson, chairman of the committee of Women's Suffrage As- sociation of the District of Columbia, today recommended Mrs. Miranda Tullock for a position on the board of school trustees. ‘The letter was acknowledged by the Com- missioners and Mrs. Thompson informed | that her recommendation of Mrs. Tullock will receive due consideration. she is fur- ther informed that the absenc’ of Commis- stoner Ross from the sessions of the board will indefinitely postpone the appointment of trustees to fill the vacancies now exist- ing in the board of school trustees. For Comfort im Street Cars. Mrs. &. H. Love of the botanical division, Agricultural Department, in a lengthy let- ter to Commissioner Parker, asks that he take some steps to require the street car companies of Washington to substitute closed cars for their open ones in inclement weather, and to do away with open cars al- together during the winter months. She cites numerous instances where illness, and occasionally death, among the government clerks has followed the exposure in the open cars in winter. She suggests that the companies also be required to place small stoves in their cars in cold weather. ‘The Tax Collection Question. Lawyer John Ridout of 1417 G street sub- mits to the Commissioners what he claims to be a solution of the tax collection ques- tion, and one that will meet with both views of the question. He suggests that Congress be asked to make it optional with the taxpayer to pay in one or two install- ments, and impose no penalty for the non- payment of taxes until June 1, 1894. Not Under tl Commissioners’ Control ‘The complaint of the Federation of Laboz, which was filed with the Commissioners some days since, asking them to investi- gate an alleged violation of the eight-hour law by a contractor employed on work at the Industrial Home School, which was ferred to Inspector of Buildings Entwisic for investigation and report, was returned | by him today with the statement thet the work being done was not due to an onder of the Commissiovers or from his office. The men in regard to whom the complaint is made were employed by Superintendent H. K. Barlow to work on the green house | and the matter does not come under the | Jurisdiction of the Commissioners. He Wants Informats ‘The Commissioners are in receipt of a let- ter from Representative Henry M. Baker reyuesting them to fo>ward him maps and | other documents which will enable him to understand the existing system of sewerage | of Washington, and the system proposed by the engineer officers for which appro- | priations may be required. He also asks | that papers showing the necessity for ad- | ditional pumping stations be fu>nished him. Protest Against a Street Railway. Rear Admiral Roe of 1232 17th street in- closes a numerously signed petition to the | Commissioners from the residents and o ers of property on 17th street, from Farra- gut Squace to the boundary, and on adja- cent streets, protesting against the grant- ing of a permit to any railway company to Tun its tracks up that thoroughfare. Ad- miral Roe, in his letter, states that this is the fifth time the residents of that section have entered a protest against the granting of such a franchise, and calls the atten- tion of the Commissioners to their decision, made several years ago, that the policy de- cided upon by the Commissioners was not to allow the streets of this section to be cut up by street railways nor in any man- er gridironed by rails. Seventeenth street = the largest sewer through it to be found in the city, and it is claimed by the residents of that section that it would be practically impossible to place either an underground trolley system or a cable sys: tem on that street without injuzing the sewer. ‘The application of the Washington Trac- | tion Company to Congress for a franchise | includes 17th street in the route to be ran over by the line, and this it is that has | brought forth the petition. | | A Petition to Close a Street. A petition has been received by the Com- missione-s from George 8. Good & Co., contractors, asking permission to close Ist | street between V and W streets and U and | V streets, during the construction of a se er. Six weeks will be the time required to | finish the sewer. They claim that the clos- ing of ist street will not very material affect travel in that locality, as all classe: of vehicles can go West of Ist strect, where there is a good road constructed ‘around | thelr work on the open commons. | Mixcellancous. | James M.
