Early in the day all we had were sold. From our invoices we bad every reason to believe that large new shipment which we had ordered would reach us either last Friday night or Saturday morning. For that reason we put the 15-CENT STOCKINGS tn Friday's announcement, but the goods failed to arrive, hence the disappointment. The few pairs that were left over from the Previous lot were gone almost before open- ing time. Accept our regrets, if you will, for this somewhat pardonable error. We're very careful about such matters, and but for the delay of freight there would have been no hitch at all in the proceedings. The Stockings came to time this morning. ‘There are over 100 dozen of them, as pretty a lot as we All have double heels, air. Ladies’ Hose.

As a step in the direction of burying all overhead wires, the Commissioners, as stat- ed in yesterday’s Star, have unanimously agreed to recommend the following para- graph for insertion in the estimates under the head of “electric lighting:” “That after January 1, 185, no arc lamp for electric lighting’ shall be maintained or operated by any wire or wires suspended along or over any of the streets or avenues of the city of Washington, and all such wires shall be removed or placed in under- ground conduits.” In explaining this pai h to a Star reporter this morning, Tagrap! Capt. Powell sald that it was the beginning of a war on the overhead wires. He believed the electric wires were the most dangerous and con- sequently should be the first disposed of. lt was, he said, the intent of the Commis- sioners to urge this upon Congress, for they believed that many of the fires were due to overhead wires. That they are dangerous there can be no doubt, and the Commissioners were determined to get rid of them, if possible. \ Bakin Pure der. “Highest my ey ey Royal Baking Powder Oo, 106 Wall St. N. Y.
