A thousand recruits for our Boys’ Depart- ment. That’s a good many suits — more’n some stores have alto- gether. But we need- ed ’em to fill in where the buying had bought out. Lots of the $2.50 Combination Suits among them—lots for the $3.75 grade—lots of finer ones for a new grade—$4.75Suitsthat are worth $6 and $7. We don’t think we ever offered any bigger bargain than these $2.50 Suits are. All wool—two pairs of pants—strongly made —serviceable colors— right in fit—and only $2.50. Same as the $3-75 everywhere else. Our $3.75 are a great deal better--good asa $5. So the $4.75 can’t help having $6 or $7 worth of value in it. You don’t hear any- thing about double seats and double knees in the Pants except from ius. Althost counts as another pair. And Suits that are not Combination— hundreds of ’em—Long and short Pants—two and three piece—nov- elties and staple styles.

Wilson, superintendent of public buildings and grounds, that the joint committce on printing has approved of plans that have been drawn in the oifice of the chief of engineers for the repair of the old printing office building, under the ap- propriation of $75,000 made by Congress. The improvements decided upon, which will be commenced at once by the engineer of the army, include the erection of a fifth story on the south, center and southwest fire-proof wings of the office, and the erec- tion of four floors connecting the space be- tween the east and west south center buildings. Three additional fire escapes will be erected, and following these improve- ments other improvements and alterations will be made as the balance of the appro- priation will permit. All the work under- taken is in Mine with suggestions such as were made by Mr. Benedict to the joint committee on printing when Congress was in session, and when completed will permit the unloading of the Hi street wing of much threatening weight. it ts understood that the army engineers have found it impracticable to do anything with the H street wing, and it ts probable that they will recommend to Congress that tt be torn down. a Sale at the Austrian Minister's. The former home of Chevalier DeTavera, the Austrian minister, at 1537 I street, is to- day overtiowing with people, eagerly look- ing at the display there spread forth, which will be sold at public auction on the first four days of next week.

Augustus 3. Shirley against Caroline P. Meding and others, for Salvationiets Preparing to Receive Thete Commander-ia-Chicf. Adjutant and Mrs. Dunham, the district officers of the Salvation Army, are coming from their headquarters In Baltimore to- morrow to hold special meetings at Salva- tion Army Hall, #80 Pennsylvania avenue, Saturday night, Sunday and Monday night, and also to confer with members of the Auxillary League as to arrangements for the visit of General Booth, the founder of the Salvation Army, to this city on Novem- ber 5. Elaborate preparations are being made for the reception of General Booth in all the principal cities, from Boston to San Francisco, which he ts to visit in his tour, In each city the largest halls are being engaged for bis meetings. In New York he is to have a week of meetings, beginning on Monday, October 22, with « mass meeting in Union juare and a wel- come meeting in Carnegie Music Hall, That night General Booth is to be introduced at Carnegie Music Hall by Rev. Dr. Bradford, the leading Congregational clergyman of New York, and the next night in the same place by Mr. Chauncey M. Depew. There are to be special meetings for the Auxiliary League and for Salvation Army officers, @ thousand of whom are expected to be in New York that week. After visiting | Brooklyn and other neighboring cities Gen- eral Booth is to come to Philadelphia, where ex-Postmaster General Wanamaker | is to introduce him at the Academy of | Music. He will then come to Washington for Monday evening and part of day, November 5 and 4, speaking Tuesday night in Baltimore, where Mayor Latrobe is to preside. Beyond securing Convention Hall for the meeting of Monday evening, No- vember 5, very little has yet been done to prepare for the general's visit to Washing- ton, but the arrangements will all be per- fected and announced an early day. Gen- eral Booth will be accompanied on h of this country by his son, Com er Ballingten Booth, who ts at the head of the forces in the United States, of which he is a naturalized and patriotic citizen. A number of other American and Wngelish officers will accompany the general to Washington. General Booth spoke in Wash- ington at the National Rifles’ Hall during his former visit to this country in INSG, and the hall was packed, although there was no such interest in the army then as there is now. Probably Convention Hall will prove far too small, but it ts the largest in town. je Officers. ‘The annual meeting of the Carroll In- stitute was held lest evening. E. J. Han- nan, who has served fiv- terms in the office of president, resigned, ard George Bogus was ele-ted in bis place. Mr. Bogus is one of the charter members of the institute, and is one of the three original members now living, the other two being Edmund Mi lett and D. I. Murphy.

Handy, two years: Francis Miller, two years; N. H. Shea, two years; D. E. McComb, W. L. Soleau and Edward Voigt, one year each. The report of Treasurer Taylor showed the total re- ceipts to have been $0,018.30, $4,427 of Which has been for membership dues and $1,126 admission fees. There is a small cash bal- ance. The annual report made by President Hannan gave an interesting resume of the work of the institute during the past year and the success which has aitended the efforts. _ Divorce Granted.
