New Conditions Bring New Opportunities, And from one cause or another come such extraordinary happenings as are current here. Our stock methods positively probibit the carrying of goods from one season to another. That is the reason Women's and Misses’ Wraps, Jackets, Furs, Shawls and Underwear—Men's Underwear and House Coats—Blankets, Lap Robes, Dress Goods and the like are now being sold at reduced prices. Stock methods also prohibit the holding on to small lots or broken lines of goods—not that intrinsic worth is less, but a business policy forbids it. That is the reason some Women's Shoes, Infants’ Wear- ables, Linens, Crashes, Merino Underwear, etc., are offered at reduced prices. Whatever can be saved by large buying from the makers and by taking advantage of every proper opportunity the market offers you can count on getting here. That is the reason a stock of rich Furs is being sold at less than cost of manufacture—a mill’s output of Writing Paper at just half its value—a lot of Gold Embroidered Japanese Silk Drapery Scarfs at less than half value-some Black Dress stuffs away below the usual prices. From these several causes come rare chances for economical buying.

Dr. Lindsay Connected With the Appointment of an Assistant to Bishop Whipple—Notes. At the meeting of the stockholders of the Georgetown and Tenleytown railroad on Saturday afternoon, convened for the pur-| pose of having ratified or confirmed the action of the board of directors on the second Wednesday in January, in ordering the issue of $70,000 worth of bonds, 2,800 out of the 4,000 existing shares of stock were represented. The president of the road presided. The ratification was asked for by Mr. H. Bradley Davidson, with the right to pay the American Security and Trust Company 15 per cent commission for the negotiation of the bonds. The minority, representing 285 shares, objected to the size of the commission and also indulged in comments upon the management of the affairs of the company, but the ratification asked for was granted. Possibly Bishop Whipple’s Assistant. The Rev. John 8. Lindsay, one of the most eloquent and learned men in the Epis- copal Church, formerly a pastor of St. John’s and now in charge of a wealthy Boston congregation, is still stopping in town, having arrived here about four days ago. His visit to this section is said to be fraught with significance. The Rev. Bishop Whipple of Virginia has grown so old in the service of the church that he feels he is no longer able to perform alone the arduous duties of his calling and accordingly has decided to recommend to the state council, which will convene next Wednesday, the appointment of an assistant bishop. In connection with this projected new office it is hinted that the Rev. Dr. Lindsay's name is uppermost in the minds of those who have the power to honor him. Brotherhood Tatks. “Give Me Thine Heart” was the subject of the Rev. Ernest Smith's powerful talk to men at St. John’s Church tast evening. The largest attendarce ever present at these St. Andrew Brotherhood meetings lister ed to the words of the speaker. ‘ney made a deep impression on ali. ‘ihe Kev. Mr. Smith is of Baltimore, Md. ‘The Sui day evening talks to men at St. Jonn’s have begun to be recognized here as tne churchly event of the week. Shoes for the Poor. Tonight the King’s Daughters’ Circie will receive a benefit at the Gay Street Baptst Church, The proceeds will be vsed to pur- chase shoes and clothing for poor children. The feature of the ertertainment will be a stereopticon exhibition of world’s fair views. Mr. Theophilus Bray will have charge of the exh‘bition, and give both his views and services. ‘Those in charge have exerted themselves to make the occasion one of great success, and there is no doubt but their efforts will be rewarded. Coal Land Purchase. On Friday last the sale of 2,570 acres of coal land, from which the Chesapeake and Ohio canal draws a great deal of its supply, to foreigners represented by C. R. Carncy, J. M. Husted, J. K. Beason, C. B. Carney, Cc. V. Thompson and L. L. Mestrezat was consummated. Through this sale about one- third of the coal land in Harrison county, W. Va., passes into the ownership of for- eigners. Notes of Interest. Those engaged in Georgetown in the col- lection of money and miscellaneous articles for distribution among the poor have met with encouraging success. In the section west of 32d street, in charge of Mr. Geo. G. Boteler, over $130 in money has been col- lected and a great quantity of clothing, fuel, meats and groceries. Four of his assistants, too, have not been heard from. Mr. Jesse H. Wilson, the chairman of the district east of 32d, with his assistants, has collected over $200 in cash and a similarly amount of miscellaneous articles. The following entries were received last week at the hoe nae a hous Books, cigars, 3 metal ware, $625; engravings, $525; brandy, oe and household effects, $508; total, eee Geo. H. Giles, Geo. Morrison and E. Horner, three local temperance orators, spoke yesterday afternoon at the Congress Street M. P. Church. The meeting was full of interest. Big contracts to be executed during the coming season are already being entered into. Embrey & Gruber of Williamsport have just closed an agreement through which they will ship as early as possible to Powell's Bend 30,000 tons of coal. Men went to work this morning to com- plete the demolishment of the Dodge man- sion, one of the last of the good old houses of other days. —___ Sunday School Union. At the meeting of the Sunday School Union of the District of Columbia at the Mt. Vernon Church,corner 9th and K streets northwest, this evening an address will be delivered by Rev. Geo. Elliott, D.D., pastor of Dumbarton Avenue M. E. Church. This will be the last time the union will have an opportunity to hear Dr. Elliott during his present pastorate. An address by Wm. w. Millan, teacher senior department, Mt. Vernon Sunday school, on “Gene- sis,” and a biackboard talk by Mr. Jerome F. Johnson, superintendent of First Congregational Sunday school, on “Old Testament hy,” will be given, after which an election will take place for five members of the executive committee.

A meeting of the bar of the Suvreme Court of the District of Columbia, to take action upon the death of the late John Johns, will be held in the General Term room tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock. ———__ Proposed Life-! ing Statio: lesmere Land. Mr. Robert Stein of the United States geological survey, who is organizing the expedition to explore Ellesmere Land, has received the following letter from Mr. S. 1. Kimball, superintendent of the United States life-saving service: “Dear Sir: I am /much pleased to learn that the permanent camp which you propose to establish at the mouth of Jones sound is to serve as a refuge station for the whalers in Northern Batin bay. As I have pointed out in my annual reports and in the paper which I read before the committee on life-saving systems and devices of the late interna- tional marine conference, the need of such stations is often most severely felt on un- inhabited shores, such as those of eastern Florida, where shipwrecked crews, though able to land, are exposed to starvation. This same need is urgent on the inhospit- able Arctie shores. As you are aware, the United Sfates government has responded to this want by erecting at Point Barrow. Alaska, a station, which is a safeguard to the whalers for many miles to the east and west. Every humane person will be glad to know that the whalers of Baffin bay are hereafter to enjoy a similar ad- vantage.” a Paymaster Michler's Assignment. It is understood that Passed Assistant Paymaster Ambrose K. Michler, who has been on duty in the bureau of provisions and clothing, Navy Department, for the past five years, will be assigned to one of the new vessels being prepared for sea. Six vessels are soon to be put in commis- | sion, and there will be a large deman] for officers now on shore duty. +e Army Orders. By direction of the President Second Lieut. George E.
