To illustrate that Palais Royal regular prices are less than prevailing we point to the well-known “Tri- angle’’ Brand Cuffs, which we sell regularly at isc. a pair. Few men but kmow the prevailing price is 2ec. By offering them during the “Opening’’ for 12ic pair we find we have incurred the displeasure of competitors. Thus you may learn of others offering all-cotton cuffs for 12!c pair which are claimed the same as ours. Ofcourse this is mot so. The Palais Royal Cuffs are guaranteed ali linen. Any unbiased merchant in the city will tell you that the “Triangle” Cuffs are all linen. While others may offer cotton collars for a low price, you will find the Palais Royal 8c Collars are all linen. We guarantee this. Even more--we claim our 8c Collars are the same quality as sold elsewhere for 15c each--a foolish claim to make if not true. We invite investigation--the re- sult of which we know will be that the Palais Royal links good qualities with lowest prices in every branch of the [en’s Furnishing Department, and thus is headquarters for men who use judgment in their expenditure.

Complaints of Lack of Street Sweep- ing—Movements of Colored Odd Fellows — Other News. At 2 o'clock this morning No. 3100 Water street, a large old warehouse, blazed forth from half its windows. Its contents, con- sisting of thousands of barrels, had caught fire and spread to the building Proper. A/ good headway had been made before the flames were discovered. No. 5 responded, however, almost simultaneously with the turning in of the alarm, and her managers went to work with a hearty will. Seaing that assistance would be beneficial to the Property, a second alarm was turned in, and two of the Washington engines came over. It was immediately seen that it would building out, so the water was turned in on the whole, with the prime object of ex- tinguishing the flames irrespective of the contents. The building was old and burned For a couple of hours it looked as if the adjoining buildings would share in the loss, but the united ef- | forts of the firemen finally subdued the de- structive element. A steady stream was, however, kept upon the building till after 7 this morning. The building is owned by a syndicate, in which, it is said, August Burgdorff is in- terested. It was used as a cooper shop by John Beavers. The house was destroyed to the extent of about $2,000), and the stock of barreis to the amount of $300. Mr. Beavers reduced his insurance last week, it is said, | from $600. Colpred Odd Fellows. Tomorrow night the colored Odd Fellows of Georgetown, comprised in four lodges, will pay a fraternal visit to the combined M street. The West End lodges will be escorted from their headquarters on 28th drum corps. The start will be made at & o'clock. During the evening addresses will | be made by Thomas H. Wright, the presi- dent of the Hail Association, and by James A. Wade of Union Light Lodge, No. 1965. In the four Georgetown lodges there are 400 men. Chevy Chase Hunters. The Chevy Chase Club hunters were out again yesterday, in both nufffbers and spirit. They assembled at their headquar- ters and followed the scent to Kensington. Then the hounds carried them back by a new trail to Bethesda, and in all country about that neighborhood the anise seed was spread. The chase terminated at a point on the Bradley lane. Dr, Elliot's New Fie! The Rev. Dr. George Elliot, who was ten- dered the pastorate of the Spring Garden Church, Philadelphia, subject to the pleas- ure of the Philadelphia conference, which adjourned day before yesterday, has been notified formally of the favorable indorse- ment of the Spring Garden congregation recommendation. He will assume his rew charge as soon as his health will permit. Georgetown's Streets. A number of the sidewalks of the town which were torn up by the engineer de- partment preparatory to the iaying waier mains have been left in a dilapi- dated condition, the ditches but roughly refilled nd th® brick scattered about in unsightly and annoying piles. On Sist street betweeneK and M, and on Sth street to O, and west on © to 35th, this condition of things has existed for a num- ber of weeks. Georgetown's roadways, the cliizens com- plain, have also been neglected of iate by the sweepers. The machines come but sel- dom on the west side of the creek. Notes.

Suspicion was the charge against James Rhodes and Harry Hades, who is beiter known as “Matinee Charley They were found yesterday in a room at 425 7th street northwest, where Rhodes lives and works in a photograph gallery. Rhodes told Judge Miller that he came here some time ego from Providence, R. I. He said he had re- ceived money from Senator Aldrich, who is a friend of his family. Recently, he said, he received $15 and paid §S of it for a can of opium, or “hop,” as the opium smokers call it. “Matinee Charley" is a confirmed opium smoker, and he told Judge Miller that he rty-eight hours without suffering. “And soon it will not be more than foriy- eight minutes,” added the court. Rhodes said he intended to quit the habit, as it has not got so firm a hold on him. William Phipps, a young man who also understands the pleasant sensations caus- ed by smoking the drug, was a witness in the case. Rh from 4 Chinaman on Pennsylvania avenue. Judge Miller said that this practice of smoking opium is a villainous <hing, and there ought to be some iaw that will’ eter- nally put a stop to it. there should be a law against the sale of the drug, except upon a physician's pre- scription. Detectives Horne and Boyd, who raided the place, told the court that there were several places in the city where opium is smoked, and they received instructions to break them up. Rhodes said’ he would return home, and | the judge said he thought that would be | the best thing for him. Both men were thereupon discharged. <_< BUSINESS HIGH SCHOOL. Mr. Darlington Calls Attention to a Imperative Need. Mr. J. J. Darlington, chairman of the committee on high and normal schools of the District of Columbia, writes to the Commis- | sioners today concerning the needs of a new Business High School, as follows “I beg to call to your atteniion the recom- mendation in the report of the board of trustees of the public schools that a new | building for the Washington Business High School be provided for, and to emphasize that recommendation to the utmost extent of my power to do so. “This school now occupies what is known as the Miner School building, under a ren- tal from the owners. It was formerly used as the Colored High School building, but was found insufficient to accommodate that school when its attendance reached 376 pu- pils. The attendance of the Business High School for the present year is or more than 25 per cent greater than that of the Colored High School at the time of iti abandonment for insufMfcient accommodat- ing capacity. By reason of its overc ‘rowd- ed condition, resort to the basement, which is entirely been compelied to obtain the necessary cla8s rooms for pupils. ‘In view of these facts, and of the fur- ther fact that the ratio of increase in this school for the past three years has been at the rate of 15 per centum, it is a velf- obvious fact that the building Will be inade- quate to accommodete next year's atten ance, even under the unsuliable, not to say Giscreditable, expedients and 'makeshifts row necessarily resorted to in order to find room for the pupils.
