And Mighty Stylish at That, but Will It Wear is the Question. One Shakespeare said some hundred years back: “Worth makes the man, and want | of it the fellow.” Nowadays Worth, the great Worth, makes the woman of fashion, gnd want of him, the pretender to that dig- nity. Wherefore womankind will look with treble interest on this picture, since it came straight from the great costumer, and rep- resents more than fairly his advance thought for the new season. There is :nore than a tone of originality in the design, which is in black and cream. A black si!k skirt outlined with narrow jet along each seam and ruffled at the foot with black uet edged with cream lace. Blouse waist of cream silk mull, with neck and sleeve ruffies matching the skirt. Over it comes the toflet’s most distinctive feature, a collet, or neck piece of black velvet shaped in cape sleeves, joined by two str@ight bands, from which fall showers of long jet ornaments. Well worn, my lady is prettier than a pic- ture in it. The born dandy, though, Is a sight for gods and men when she hath pain- fully inducted herself into such an out In fact, it is only the slender, sweet dam who bears herself like a princess and reigns over all hearts by right divine, that should venture upon raifhent so striking, but even she must take thought of her environment— the costume ts for high days and holiday not for every-day wear. All the same, it holds hints of what we might ere long vee upon the street—til-suited as the full foot frill is to such use.

THE POST’S NEW HOME. A Handsome and Well Equipped News- Paper Office, Structure Which the Paper is Soon to Oceupy—An Attractive Front an @ Convenient Interior. ‘Within a month the Washington Post will be settled in its new home on E street, fac- ing the avenue, between 13th and ith streets. Founded in 1877, the paper became on January 1, 18%, the property of Mr. Frank Hatton and Mr. Beriah Wilkins, though the formal announcement of the change in ownership was not made until January 7. Mr. Hatton, a man of extensive newspaper experience, assumed the direc- tion of the editorial and news departments, and Mr. Wilkins, formerly a Congressman from Ohio, and interested largely in the enterprises of that state, took charge of the Mr. Beriah Witkt business department. With a determination to make The Post thoroughly independent, these two have now labored together for nearly five years, identifying themselves with local interests and bringing the only morning newspaper at the capital to the front as one of the great journals of the country. Their aim has been to use ui legitimate enterprise and industry in col- lecting and presenting the news, to discuss every subject—political, religious and so- clal—from an independent standpoint, and to devote their paper to the development of one of the fairest cities of the world. Usetal Ornamental, Their success may be measured in part by the handsome structure which will here- after be the home of The Post. Though de- signed, to be primarily a model newspaper plant, this bullding, with a front of Indiana limestone, is a sightly structure from the artistic standpoint. Though its main out- lines are Roman in their square simplicity, the elaborate ornamentation of the front 15 decidedly Gothic. ‘The first story, elevated above the side- walk so as to admit of a well lighted base- ‘ment, is built in triple arcade, the entrance and ‘the central arch being approached by broad stone steps with ornamental pedestals on each side, supporting large Wrought iron lamps. The central arch, supported by carved pilasters, is crowned with a square cap, above which, in raised stone letters, is the inscription, “The Wash- ington Post.” The windows of the second story are built in elliptical arches trimmed with stone molding, and above each is a balustrade of fluted columns carved in elaborate and effective design. The third and fourth floor windows are combined in tall triple arches, the columns supporting foliated capitals. The fifth floor shows six arched windows, a stone scroll above them displaying again the name of the paper. ‘The sixth floor shows four windows set in Mr. a steep gable, with carved gargoyles at each end supporting a battlemented turret. In the apex of the gable is an orlel window with a low balcony, the latter resting upon a lion’s head and being surrounded with elaborate stone scroll work. In the steep tiled roof are dormer windows. The whole front, beautiful in its main work, is im- proved by beveled plate glass windows. Arrangement of the Building. ‘The ground plan of the building 1s 40.6 feet by 159 feet. Through the big front doors entrance will be to a broad vestibule, leading to a still more spacious lobby fifty feet deep. On the left of this and extending along the side and rear of the room will be the counters of the business department. On the right will be the manager's office. The main room will be lighted by large windows, its floor will be of marble and its side walls will be faced with jasper and verd antique between carved cherry wainscoting and frieze. The ceiling will be ‘supported by ornamental stone pillars and decorated with stucco work, from which depend electric chandeliers. A semi- private room for advertisers, the press and mailing rooms above the delivery room and the basement, private offices and toilet Tooms. The entrance to. the hydraulic elevator and the handsome stairway com- plete the appointments of this floor. In an L to the right of the main butiding and in the rear are the places for boilers and ma- chinery, while the fuel and storage vaults run back under the rear alley. Above the press room will be the composing room, in the rear of the second floor, the front pol tion of which will be used for general of- fice purposes. Over the engine room will be the make-up room, lighted by a big sky- light and from the stereotyping room the plates will be landed directly beside the presses. The Editorial Rooms. ‘The Post's editorial rooms will be on the third floor, that of the editor-in-chief being in front, next to the library. Separate rooms are provided for each department, the city editor occupying a room twenty- four feet square and lighted on three sides. Frank Hatton. ‘The news and telegraph rooms are equally favored in regard to light. A private stair- case leads to the composing room. The fourth floor will be fitted up in a bee suite of offices for the = ae ee luding an operating room, five long, with reporters’ room and a special apartment for the southern division. The fifth and sixth floors will be adapted to the uses of dents and others, and Pneumatic and speaking tubes, electric Ughts, steam heating apparatus, toilet rooms and all modern conveniences will make this one of the most comfortable newspaper offices in the country. In every respect The Post's new building will be con- veniently arranged and thoroughly equipped from basement to top, and is to be a per- fect structure of its kind, unexcelled by any other business structure in this city. —.__ PASSED THE EXPERT JURY. Miss Mary Dasheill ef Georgetown Proved Her Competency, “The only requisite necessary to permit one ‘to appear in concert at the woman's bullding, Chicago, is competency,”-said yes- terday Miss Mary C. Dashiell, the young lady from Georgetown who passed the crit- ical examination of the Theodore Thomas expert jury and acted as the District’ representative organist in one of the most Tecent concerts in the white city, winning commendation from musicians of national Teputation and reflecting credit upon the capital that sent her. Competency is determined first, according to Miss Dashiell, by a jury appointed in the city of the applicant. If the aspirant for musical honors is passed, he or she is then sent by this local jury to Chicago, there to appear before the “expert” jury, consist- ing of Mr. Arthur Mies of Boston, chair- man, Mrs. Theodore Thomas, Fanny Bloomfield Ziegler, the finest pianist in Chicago, Clarence Eddy and Mile. Nikata. Examinations are always held on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month and the successful candidates play at the concert of the following Thursday. When the applicants appear before the jury: they are taken into the assembly room of the grand music hall and there given a num- ber by the secretary, Mrs. Brisbine. At 2 o'clock the door of the examining room 1s opened and number 1 goes in to play or sing. It is seldom a performer is allowed to ren- der the selection chosen in its entirety, but two minutes usually being allotted to each Piece. Frequently the candidate is inter- Tupted while on the most difficult passage and requested to go back and repeat cer- tain selected portions. While the playing goes on the judges hold in-their hands tablet, on which, from time to time, marks are made. At the close of the examination the slips are compared and three: favorable ones constitute an acceptance. On the day Miss Dashiell was examined there were seventy-five candidates, only nine of whom passed. When the trial was over Miss Dashiell was informed by one of the jurors that her work had been unani- mously approved. When the day of the concert in which she was to appear arrived it is need- less to say that Miss Dashiell was anxious for success. Every spare hour from the time of her examina- tion to the opening of the doors had been devoted to practice. She was the first on the program and had selected as the nuf- bers to be rendered Petri's “Prelude” and Lemmens’ “Fanfare.” On the conclusion of the renditions the 3,000 persons present burst into earnest applause, testifying to the general approval of the audience. The selections, the papers stated next day, were rendered with exquisite effect. The states represented at the woman's concert on the occasion of Miss Dashtell’s performance were Arkansas, Texas, Minne- ota, California, Ilinots and Ohio. ‘The or- gan used was a three-manual with forty- weven registers, The attendance at this concert was the largest that had ever been Present. Aside from her qualifications as @ thorough organist Miss Dashiell, as the result of careful study and practice of the most wholesome of plano compositions, is a skillful performer on that more popular in- strument. For some time she has been organist at Christ Church and directress of the choir id frequently she has presided at the or- gan in St. John’s, Washington. As soon as the organization of the George- town branch of the centennial chorus be- gan Miss Dashiell’s services were solicited and she has served as secretary of that di- vision in the most acceptable manner, ma- terially aiding the assistant director in the work of drilling his force. pa Se THIS IS 1830. You May It Pleases You Look Like Your Own Grandmother, Quoth Master Tennyson: I doubt not through the ages one unceasing purpose runs, And the thoughts of men are widened with the Process of the suns. However that may be, it is an easily de- monstratable fact that the styles of women’s gowns are not broadened with the Process of the suns, Yea, many, nor with university education, Primrdse leagues nor even the oratory of Mrs. Lease of Kansas. For right under.our noses, day by day, we see advanced womanhood, with the biggest sort of capitals, pulling itself into garments exactly modeled on those of grandmothers, who held it the whole duty of woman to know how “‘to pray to God, to love man, to knit and to sew.” They had also a pretty knack of cooking—those same grand- mothers of ours—and took no end of pride in the store room, whose shelves bore wit- ness to their skill. What pickles they made! what catsup! what dainty sweets! what flavored home-brewed liquors!—peach cordial, cherry bounce, currant and cowslip and orange wine! But they, too, had fallen below the standard of their grandmothers— to whom the still room was even more a field of achievement than the store room— and. who thence evolved essences and sweet waters and all manner of spices. Nowadays, good lack! the corner grocer supplies all food and all flavors. But fash- fon has a long memory—or maybe an eye for piquant contrast. Who believes but the jade is laughing in her sleeve over the jest of setting the up-to-date young woman, who so eagerly assumes the burden of her- self and stands gaily at guard against love and life and things, in these the garments of the Gelsel’s of 1830—who drooped to con- quer the hearts and souls and purses of their allotted masculine prey. No doubt it is a mighty entertaining spectacle to the whimsical cherub, who sits up aloft veer- ing at her pleasure, the weather vane of style, to see the muscular maiden of the era of ’93 array herself in the simple sin- cerity here set down. The stuff is fine faced cloth * rich dove’s breast gray trimmed with mauvish pansy purple velvet on shirt and bodice. There is almost: a quakerish suggestion in the gown—but the giddiest miss may wear it and lay to her soul the comfort that she is truly in style. ————-+e+ —____ Secure. From Puck.

Appears to Continue. AN TMPORTANT TRANSFER RECORDED. Quite a Number of Buildings in Course of Construction, A NEW CHUROH EDIFICE. ‘The revival of business in local real estate circles mentioned in this column last week continues, and the predicted return to a full development of the large fall trade has been well inaugurated. This agreeable fact is not only learned from intercourse with those actively engaged in the real estate business, but it is confirmed by an examina- tion of the various transfer papers recorded during the past week in the recorder of deeds’ office. During that time it was dis- covered that the number of real estate transfers recorded had almost doubled the number weekly made during the past month or 80 of financial uncertainty. Perhaps the most gratifying and encouraging feature of this increase of recorded papers was the fact that the papers disclosed the fact that the transfers made were bona fide business transactions for valuable considerations and not merely matters of convenience. Another very gratifying fact in connection with the increase of business in real estate circles was observable from an inspection of the transfers recorded during the past week, and that was the fact that the increase in business was not by any means confined to any one particular section of the District. ‘That fact is regarded by those most familiar with the local market as more truly indic- ative of a substantial return to normal bus- iness conditions than any other one matter could possibly be. For, it 1s argued, such a showing evidences the fact that in every Part of the District a demand for property exists, a demand, too, which commands substantial prices and at the same time precludes any fall of prices to the detriment of one section and the advantage of another. An Important Transfer. The most important transfer recorded during the past week was that of the pur- chase of Messrs. H. P. and Thomas E. Wag- gaman from Rebecca A. Green and others of @ portion of the subdivision known as Rosedale, located on the Tenleytown road, Tunning north of the President's former country home, and extending to the Chevy Chase electric railroad on the east. The tract embraces about fty-two acres and the price Bald ps 40. It is the intention & the pur to improve the property by the laying of sidewalks and gas and water mains, the water to be brought from the proposed reservoir at Fort Reno, near Ten- leytown. The property will also probably be supplied with electric lighting. Some New Buildings. ‘The same condition of inactivity continues to prevail in building circles as has been observable during the summer. There are few new buildings in course of construction, and so far as can be learned at the office of inspector of buildings few are immediately contemplated, although the increase of real estate business will eventually bring about an increase in building operations. The congregation of St. Paul's Catholic Church, corner 15th and V streets north- west, will erect @ handsome new edifice on the site of the present structure.

The banks of the canal remain strong and firm, despite the steady rains that have beat upon them during the past few days. Traffic remains about the same. There is no boom on the canal, but merely a flour- ishing condition exists. Vessels to take away the coal brought to town are arriving with encouraging ra- pidity. Last week the shipping was par- ticularly lively. Boats to clear Georgetown yesterday were as follows: No. 108, Capt. W. H. Wilson; Theo. Dean, Capt. Creamer; Dr. Knott, Capt. Ewing; M. Hyatt, Capt.

During the height of the solemn ceremony Mr. Lucean KE. Beach, a son-in-law of the de- ceased, was suddenly attacked with a fit, and loud, rapid,and piteous shrieks startled the numerous mourners who had gathered to hear the minister's words of consolation to the bereaved family. Mrs. Beach be- came in a moment so unnerved at the scene that she fainted and fell to the floor. Dr. Birdsall was then hastily summoned. Ar- riving almost immediately,restoratives were applied to the husband and wife, and later they were taken home in a cab. The Maryland Whert Crop. ‘Wheat in the counties of Maryland and Virginia, which has been dragging alorg of late at 64 cents @ bushel, yesterday took ‘2 jump to 68 cents, and a large quantity of it that has been stored up was sold. Wheat has been lower this season than has been known for a Jong time. Its usual price ts 1 per bushel. last crop, though, was @ particularly heavy one, every field yield- ing bountifuily. ‘Phe grain, too, of the past season is of a fine quality. Heavy Rise tm the Potoniac. The Potomac on its upper course, say telegrams from river men, shows the most perceptible indications of a heavy rise. All the little streams that empty into it have swollen until they have lost their insignifi- cance, and now appear almost like moun- tain torrents. Great quantities o: alluvial are also being brought into the Potomac, and the stream has already begun to put on an angry demeanor. Custom House Entries.

Janney, the supervising principal of the Georgetown Public schools, was yesterday employed in issuing permits for entry into the term of ‘8 and ‘SM. Indications point to a very heavy attendance this session. The monot- ony of the day was, however, relieved by Miss Wescott, the head of the Western High School, “who presented Mz. Janney with a very handsome cane, saying he would probably need it to Jean on before the demand for permits had ceased, Narrow Escape of a Street Car. One of the Metropolitan Company's cars narrowly escaped being crushed yesterday evening about 6 o'clock by the falling of an immense tree just as the conveyance pass- ed the corner of Sth and O streets.

McGill and Harry Houghton, who sailed on the 18th of August by way of the Wesley M. Ober for New Bedford, Mass. have returned after ex- periencing the perils of a cyclone at sea. When off the Delaware breakwater and when seven days out of port their schooner was struck by the terrific storm that de- Vastuted so much of the Atlantic coast and all the sails torn from her masts. The brave little craft, though, struggled on and, after being beaten and tossed about for a jong time, ran out of danger in her port of destination just as her owners were begin- ning to get anxious. After seeing New Bed- ford the young gentlemen did Boston and New York, making up well on land for the exciting experience and they en- dured at sea.

From the Boston Journal. In a New England city not many miles from Boston is an old quack doctor known throughout the town for his large supply of “cheek.” He had no regular abiding place, but picked up his lodgings around at dif. ferent cheap boarding houses, and lived on the profits of his patent medicines. He spent a good deal of his time in a certain drug store, and moreover he was accus- tomed to go there every morning and use the back shop to make his tollet in, He had an old greasy bottle of hair oil and a brush and comb, which he kept in the shop with- out leave from anybody. The proprietor got rather tired of having him around so much, and therefore resorted to stratagem to get rid of him. He took the hair oll bottle, poured out the oll, and carefully replaced it with a mixture of thin fish glue and bay rum. Then he put the bottle back in its accustomed place. The next morning the old quack showed up, and after some cordial greetings to the Proprietor of the store he asked leave to Use the back shop, as was his habit. “Certainly, certainly,” responded the drug- gist, “the back shop {s at your disposal.” Whereupon the old gentleman started tn to arrange his toilet. Pouring out a liberal Public Men Who Like to Collect News- paper Scraps About Themselves, Senator Morrill’s Birthday Collection How the Two Gibsons Were Con- fused—Infanta’s Scrap Collection. The finance committee of the Senate bought of Frank Burrelle recently a scrap- book containing the comment of the news- Papers of the United States on President Cleveland’s message. There were nearly 1,500 scraps taken from about 90 newspa- Pers published in 600 towns or cities. They filled 365 large pages. If the newspapers ex- Press the sentiment of the communities in which they are published the finance com- mittee will have very little difficulty learn- ing what the people want in this financial emergency. The Senate and House committees have been active patrons of the press clipping bureaus for several years. When the Me- Kinley bill was under consideration the Senate finance committee subscribed for clippings about tariff matters and récelved several thousand of them. The committee on immigration last year subscribed to all the clipping bureaus and spent $42 for about 3,800 newspaper Paragraphs. Public men are very active buyers of press clip- pings, though, strange as it may seem, New York is a better field for the business than Washington. Some men who are in Con- gress subscribe for clippings when they are bout to make speeches which will attract attention. Senator Morrill subscribed for clippings when he celebrated his seventieth birthday and received several hundred pleasant comments on the anniversary. Representative Durborow of Illinois had a scrap-book made about the opening of the world’s fair. ‘The foreign. legations are buyers of press clippings. The Spanish minister paid $70) for about 14,000 clippings about the Infanta Eulalia—and they were doubtless the pleas- antest souvenir that she took with her to Spain. The Russian admiral became a sub- scriber at the time of the naval parade and carried away a fine collection of press com- ments on the Russian fleet. Dr. Mott Smith, the Hawafian minister, subscribed for clippings about Hawaii only two days before the news of the Hawaiian revolution reached the United States. He was deluged with clippings, and when he had enough to fill a clothes basket he tried to cancel his order. He could not find the agent who held his order for some time, and |he was nearly frantic with excitement when he finally did find him and turned off the shower. ‘The White House has its own scrap col- lection. One of the White House clerks reads the newspapers from all parts of the country carefully for news which may in- terest the President—and it is clipped out and filed away. But even the White House is a patron of the clipping bureaus at times. President Harrison subscribed for the obit- uaries of Mrs. Harrison published all over the country. The making of scrap booke is a novelty, The first work of the kind was done for the committee which had charge of the quadri-centennial celebration in New York. ‘The clippings about the celebration filled twenty-four books. Then the Gould family gave orders for clippings about Mr. Gould at the time of his death, stipulating that only those which spoke of him pleasantly should be pasted iu the scrap books. The books containing these clippings would fill a broad library shelf. A like order was filled for the Blatchford family at the time of Justice Blatchford’s death. But the clipping bureaus do not wait for orders now. Whenever a public man dies they go to work gathering paragraphs about him from current publications. Re- fore long they have enough to fill a scrap book und this is offered for sale to the man's family. A very elaborate collection was made at the time of Jefferson Davis’ death. The clippings have been pasted into three scrap books, of which one is devoted to favorable comments, one to unfavorable comments and the third to anecdotes. These books were offered to Mrs. Davis, but she refused to buy them. They will doubtless become the property of some southern «li- A clipping bureau recelves more “kicks” in every 24 hours thar even a news- paper office, and that is saying a great deal. Every paragraph published in news- papers or magazines which contains the name of a subscriber to the bureau is game for the reader. The name is marked with blue pencil and when the paper goes to the cutter the paragraph is cut out ready for pasting. When a memper of Congress makes few unimportant remarks on the silver question or perhaps interrupts # de- bater to ask @ question the press associa- tions may insert jn their reports an an- nouncement that “Representatives Brown, Jones and Robinson also spoke,” or that “in response to a question by Representa~ tive Brown the Speaker said—” This statement {s published in several hundred papers and it is rather aggravating for Representative Brown to be deluged with copies of it at the uniform price of 4 or 5 cents each. When Senator Morrill cele- brated his seventieth birthday his mail was filled with clippings which read like this: “Senator Morrill of Vermont was seventy years old on the 14th of April” The Sena- tor objected strongly to paying for these paragraphs. “Don’t you think I know that IT am seventy years old?” he said. “Must I pay for that information?” Sometimes an allowance is made to a man whose name appears frequently in the press dispatches in consideration of duplicates, but the duplication of is not the only source of complaint. There are a great many public men whose names are very much alike. They are continually re- ceiving clippings about each cther. When Senator Gibson of Louisiana died Senator Charles Gibson of Maryland, the Narcissus of the Senate, received hundreds of para- graphs about the event. —_.—_ ‘The Trolley and Fires, From the Philadelphia Press, ‘The fire that occurred in Washington last Wednesday afternoon, in the office of the ‘Western Union Telegraph Company, is believed to have resulted from the crossing of a trolley wire with a telegraph wire. ‘The powerful dynamo current carried by the trolley wire was transferred to a tele- graph wire by the two coming in contact, and this set fire to the woodwork in the cupola of the Western Union building and caused the fire. It has been proved that fires in the past have been caused by the crossing of wires and by the inadequate insulation of electric light and trolley wires, ‘The great Thanksgiving day fire in Boston a few years ago was started by an electric ght wire, and doubtless other fires have been caused in the same way, but as the fires destroyed all possibility of investigat- ing the origin they could not be traced to their sources. The Washington fire also shows that the crossing of a trolley wire as far away as Baltimore is from that city may start a disastrous conflagration. Phil- adelphia’s streets ere soon to be strung with trolley wires to propel its street cars. If all its tlegraph wires had been put un- derground, as a city ordinance requires, the danger from crossed wires would be greatly lessened if not wholly removed. Most of the wires are still up, however, offering a constant menace from fire to every building having connections with telegraph, telephone and electric light wires. It is impossible now to stop the stringing of the trolley wires, but it is impossible to insist that the work shall be so carefully done as to reduce the danger from fire to a minimum. ——-e+—___ Anxious to Know.

I don’t want to unnecessarily alarm dose of the mixture in the oll bottle, he rubbed it thoroughly over his head till his hair was completely saturated with it. Then he carefully combed and parted his somewhat long locks, and placing his old ‘stovepipe hat squarely on his head, he pass- ed out, wishing the proprietor a’ pleasant “good morning.” He was seen again after several days by the druggist, but it was not in the drug store. He was crossing the street, and he wore a new soft hat and had an extra close hair cut. The druggist went down to the neighboring barber shop. “Did Dr. W. come in here on Wednesday?” he asked. ‘I should say he did,” replied the barber, da madder man than he was never stood up.”” ‘What did you do for him?” inquired the fc drugeisi “I cut his hair to get his hat off, and then I cut the hat to get the hair off.
