SOME OF THE AUTUMN'S SPECIALTIES IN- TENDED FOR THE OPENING OF THE NEW STORE ARE QUOTED FOR MONDAY. (SENSATIONAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE SUIT AND WRAP DEPARTMENT WILL BE FOUND IN 8UNDAY'S “POST” ON PAGE 5. The fact that the following are conspicuously shown in the show Windows of the leading stores in New York is proof that they are the most correct of the latest autumn styles. That lower prices are asked by the Washington Palais Royal is evidence that unparalleled bargains are offered. Cuamezzon Draconat—me name ts suggestive of the beau- tiful shadings of this illuminated fabric. Don't let, the price we ask - mislead you—19 cents a yard is generally linked only with trashy goods. Faexcx Surrxa—so mominatea noreity suggestive of an tumm sunset. ‘The little dashes of contrasting colors make the marked Rovelty of the fabric. Only 45¢ yard bere on Monday.

Black ground with figures in colors, and only Te yard. T7Special attention is drawn to these two wonders. The manager of this department assures the writer that over three thousand yards of the Outing Flannel was sold in one day last week in one of the stores on Sixth avenue, New York—and the price was 10c @ yard. Almost as much of the “India Silk” was sold—at Tie « yard. Corsets Given Away. ‘When the agent of the French “P. D.” Corsets disposed of his “traveler's” samples to our “buyer” he said: “I am as good as giving them away.” The samples of Dr. Warner's Corsets were secured on as favorable terms. Thus you are offered Corscts worth up to §2 for only 62c pair, and those worth $5 and $6 for anly $1.50 a pair. ‘The best customers of the maker of these famous Corsets are in turns (Yeateg to these samples, so that such a bargain opportunity may not occur again bere in years.

GLOVES—The new buyer of the Glove Department, Inte with B.

The Capitol Centennial and What It Becalls, eaten ented MILE POSTS IN OUR HISTORY. Comparisons Made by Daniel Web- “ster Over Forty Years Ago. THE STATUE OF FREEDOM. HERE IS A DECID- ed educational value \: to the people in the celebration of such Patriotic anniversar- jes as that which will be observed in this city on Monday in| honor of the found-/ ing of our national | Capitol. The various epochs and distinctive events in the history N of that venerable old building can be prop- erly regarded as so many mile posts in the history of the nation itself. ‘When the original cornerstone was laid in 1793 the present Federal Union had been established four years, and the machinery of the new government had been put in Practical running order. Consequently that year constitutes an excellent ‘Starting point for comparisons with ‘Subsequent dates marking the progress of the republic. Like- wise the year 1851, in which the corner Stone of the south extension was laid, fur- nished @ good stopping place where one could pause and look backward at the prog- ress already made, and also forward to fur- ther possibilities and anticipations of ad- vancement. And lastly, the year 18% can, for reminiscent purposes, be deemed the fitting close of the most important era in our whole history, reaching from 1851—an ¢ra in which the government has success- fully undergone {ts most herculean strug- gles, has triumphantly endured the suprem- est tests and trials of its permanence and has taken the longest strides, toward un- rivalled pre-eminence among all the powers Continuing Mr.Webster’s Comparisons ‘The most striking feature of the proceed- ings which attended the corner stone laying of the southern extension in 1851, when President Fillmore officiated, was the ora- tion of Daniel Webster, Secretary of State. It was regarded as one of his most mas- terly efforts. In the’ course of it he used some notable statistics, Mlustrating the marvelous growth of the republic in the fifty-eight years intervening from the origi- nal corner stone laying in 173 to 1X51. To most people statistics are unattractive, but these were highly interesting to everybody then, and will doubtless be of increased in- terest now, after the lapse of forty-two years. Here are some of his figures, with corresponding statistics of the present year ——— HOW HIS PLAN FAILED. An Elaborate Scheme for Suicide That Did Not Succeed. A Man Who Sought Death by Inhaling Gas—Now in the Hospital—A Pipe Line to His Mouth. “Fred Kiein, Brooklyn, N. ¥.,” was what @ neatly dressed middle-aged man put on the register at the Mount Vernon House two days ago.

Crawford's Freedom. The crowning glory of the Capitol is its great white dome. Crawford's colosval bronze statue of Freedom, armed and helmeted, and gazing toward the rising sen, the fitting pinnacle to it. Few peopie are aware of the fact that Jefferson Davis was instrumental in substituting this helmet for the liberty cap, which Crawford »rigi- nally designed for the figure. The incident gave rise to much talk at the time, and many said that Davis was opposed to the liberty cap being placed on the Capitol for a sinister reason. Davis was Secretary of War at the time the designs were submit- ted by the sculptor, and he objected to the cap on the ground ‘that it was the symbol of the freed slaves of ancient Greece. He preferred a helmet instead, explaining his views in a communication addressed to Capt. M. C. Melgs, the officer in charge of the Capito! extension. This letter is now on file in the War Department, under date of January 15, 1856, and constitutes the only correspondence on the matter. As to the helmet Davis says: “Why should not armed Liberty wear a helmet? Her conflict being over, her cause triumphant, as shown by the other em- blems of the statue, the visor would be up, 0 as to permit, as in the photograph, the display of a circle of stars, expressive of endless existence and of heavenly birth.
