You ought to read what © o<>« Congressman Grosvenor : said about us in the House of Representatives on Saturday. He adds another strong link in the chain of evidence that proves that QUALITIES at such LOW PRICES as WE quote. You’re in danger of being counted out of our special clothing sales—unless you “‘tend to business” right off. $10.80 The [ien’s Suit and Overcoat Sale —and the Baum stock of Children’s Clothes are both om their last week. We've grave doubts if there are Overcoats enough to last ‘til Saturday night. The Suits'll be sold by that time—and there won't be enough of BAUM'S STOCK left to tell where it come from. Fifty-cent pieces cancel the Baum dollar marks. Our methods are like our stock—hoa- est and straightforward. In reductions we give you figures—that are facts— to tle to. Geu. Grosvenor said—there 1s no more honorable and reliable Louse fm the world than ours. That goes. When we say these SUITS and OVER- COATS at $10.80 are worth $18, $16.50, $15, $13.50 and $12.50 you may be sure they are. ‘Tisn’t imagination. We call one-balf of Baum's prices a Dargain—aren't we right? We're willing to make to order about fifty $45, $40 and $35 ENGLISH SUIT- INGS for $25 apiece—and three hundred $10 and $12 ENGLISH TROUSERINGS for $7.75.

WALLACE AGAIN, Seekers After Truth Defend t leged Spiritualistic Fra The Society of Seckers After Spiritual Truth held its regular weekly meeting last night at Typographical Temple. A letter was read from Medi:m Wallace expressing his regret at inabillty to attend, and stat- ing that he would have been on hand but for a black eye received in a cataleptic fall. P:esident E. B. Fairchild delivered himself of quite a long speech, in which he set forth the history of the organization and told of its aims. He had invited Wallace to a seat on the platform and would continue to do so, Wallac2’s tests had been satis- factory, and believers in spiritualism could find no flaw on his character as a man and no blot on his escutcheon as a medium. It was evident that Rev. Mr. Fairchild did not entertain any affectionate regard for the policemen who had torn Mr. Wallace from his friends and the reporters who had written of the affair. Washington, he said, the seat of the national capital, re- fused protection to a religious meeting. He referred to the newspapers which had been used as evidence against the so-called me- dium as “not worth the breath that would blow them into the fire.” He also said that he would say nothing against the judge of the Police Court, but it was a very hard matter for him to keep his hands off. Sev- eral times he struck out at him. He re- ferred to the local newsmen of Washington as young men whose bread and butter de- pended on the sensationalism of the arti- cles which they could furnish their papers. “But, then, too,” continued the speaker, “the public was more to blame than the poor little reporters, because the public cruelly demanded this unkind reading. He thought that the judge had shown marked bias in favor of the prosecution of Wallace. He dismissed Mr. Jewell, who offered todo any of the supernatural things which Wal- lace is alleged to do and then to show how the tricks were done, with a few brief re- marks. A collection was taken up for the abused Mr. Wallace, and a lady said that she would go on his bond today. Mrs. Whitman concluded the entertainment with some tests. aAl- —_—————_ A Woman Forger Pleads Gaillty. A well-dressed and attractive young wo- man, giving the name of Miss S. C. Harris, was arrested Friday evening in the large store of the Berwick Store Company, at Berwick, Pa., on the charge of forgery. The lady represented herself as traveling for a well-known drug house, and presented a letter of recommendation from Moyer Bros. of Bloomsburg, Pa. Superintendent Long discredited her story and notified Moyer Bros., who pronounced the letter forgery and ordered her arrest. At the hearing before Justice Kitchen she pleaded guilty, and was held for court. — soe The Rev. Dr. William John Butler, dean of ae England, died of pneumonia yes- terday. THE SOCIAL WORLD. Mrs. Oleveland’s Reception Saturday Afternoon, Am Army of Guests Pay Respects— Other Entertainments—Per- sonal Notes. Mrs. Cleveland had a large reception on Saturday afternoon between 3:30 and 5:30 o'clock, during which several thousand ladies called and paid their respects and were introduced to her young relative, Miss May Huddleston, who, for the rest of her life, can enjoy the enviable distinction of having made her debut at the White House. The two ladies received in the east room, where Col. John M. Wilson made the pre- sentations to Mrs. Cleveland and Capt. Pitcher performed the same agreeable duty for the young lady. Mrs. Cleveland Wore a shaded light silk, that had trim- mings and sleeves of black velvet and lace. Miss Huddleston was in white chiffon, and carried a bunch of roses. All the parlors and the state dining room, where a col- lation was spread, were elaborately deco- rated with plants and flowers as upon State occasions. The Marine Band was stationed in the lobby and played through @ sparkling program during the reception. A number of young ladies, daughters of the justices and Senators, and some others assisted In entertaining their acquaintances among the throng of ladies who were in each room.

The Washington Assembly has been re- organized for the season, and will give a ball on the evening of February 5. Mrs. Chas, C. Bassett will give a luncheon this week in honor of Miss Herbert. The first regular meeting of the Literary Society for this season was held at the residence of Mrs. Lander, on Saturday evening, with more than the average at- tendance of members and a number of invited guests. One of the features of the evening was the installation of the new president of the society, Dr. W. T. Mar- ris, chief of the national bureau of edu- cation. This was followed by the usual literary and musical exercises, which, on this occasion, consisted of violin solos by Miss Appleby and songs by Mrs. Herbert Owen, with piano accompaniments by Miss Bell, an interesting paper on the early transcontinental explorations and adven- tures of Captain Bonneville, by General Greely, and humorous and pathetic recita- tions by Mr. Charles Rohifs, who, with his wife, (formerly Miss Anna Katharine Green, the well-known writer,) is making @ visit of some two weeks with Mrs. Lan- der. On the conclusion of the formal ex- ercises a tempting collation was served, and the company pleasantly enjoyed itself until nearly midnight. The Vassar Students’ Aid Society gave a very pretty tea on Saturday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Thomas I. Sidwell on 2ist street in honor of Mrs. M. G. Seckendorf and Mrs. Herman Walbridge and the as- sociate members. Owing to her recent ac- cident it was feared that Mrs. Seckendorf would not be able to come, but to the de- light of all-she was present for a short time. The president of the society, Miss Virginia Butler. received the guests with Mrs. Sidwell. The tea table was very at- tractive with its pretty china and silver and a center piece of gay tulips, and was pre- sided over by Miss Halderman, sister of Mrs. Sidwell, Miss Brosius, Miss Higbee and the Misses Clisbee, young friends of the hostess.
