THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1894-TWELVE PAGES. 7 Tomorrow, | An Important Saturday. The one who sees farthest and acts quickest fares best. The Palais Royal management sees busy times ahead and quickly profits by the momentary check given by unseasonable weather, strike of operators and coming elections. The managers of departments were sent early this week to the sources of supply, with nine important results, that are here recorded. I==Suit and Wrap manufacturer’s stock of imported models, secured at less than European prices, because | the strike among the tailors and the lateness of the season—for him—rendered the use of the garments im- possible. Result to you and tumes worth up to $125 for re | Gowns; $9.98 for $15 Seal Plus! Cloth Capes. us: Paris and London cos= $25; $3.98 for $10 Tea Capes; $4.98 for $7.50 2==Choice Ribbons secured at half prices because of defects that the leading maker of the world cannot al= low to pass, though not apparent to any but the pro= fessional eye. This means: 25 and 35¢ yard for choice Dress and Millinery Ribbons worth up to $1 yard. 3==The millinery department manager found an overloaded importer—thus Jet, Steel and Gold Hat Pins worth up to 25c¢ for 7c each; onets and Wings worth up Coronets, Wings, Hats and Jet Buckles, Crowns, Cor= to $1 for 23c each; Cut Jet Bonnets worth up to $3 for 75c each; Jet Hat Ornaments and Rhinestone Buckles worth up to soc for 13¢ each. 4== =Handkerchiefs at less than cost of importation because the change of management in the leading wholesale house of New York caused the new man to clean out the stock of his the Washington Palais Ro: predecessor. Thus come to yal the following: Ladies’ Warranted Pure Linen Handkerchiefs, with scalloped and embroidered borders, at pieces worth up to 50c for only 2ic. Pure Linen Handkerchiefs 124c instead of 25c. Filmy For men are best at 35c instead of soc, and only 25¢ for Jap Silk Initialed Handkerchiefs worth 50c—and more being opened as this was being written. 5==The Neckwear buyer makes a purchase of an importer’s stock of rare Lace Collars. The bargains secured were evident to the writer, since those to be sold at $1.98 compare favorably with those in stock marked $2.98, and those at $3.98 are as good as the $5.98 Collars. The new ran ge from $1.98'to $10, those here previously are to be reduced in prices to meet their only feared competitors. 6, 7, 8,9 are represented by the ‘‘buyers’’ of Dress Goods, Silks, Upholstery Goods, Housefurnishings. They have yet to be heard from—details in tomorrow’s Star and Sunday Post. 7“The one who sees farthest and acts quickest fares best" Is only an expression coined by the writer, He sees merchants qu slow to see but quick to act, others who are with those who patronize the merchants, ick to see and slow to act, others who are slow to see and slow to act—and so it is ‘The quick ores will profit by this temporary flood of bargains; those slow will—will do anything but blame themselves. 7 Tomorrow You Shop for Sunday.

He said he was too tired to speak at Cooper Union with Senator Hill but half an hour later he decided he would speak at Brooklyn with Amos J, Cum- mings. A vast crowd assembled at Cooper Union, New York, last night to hear Senator David B. Hill speak. The gathering assembled under the auspices of the combined labor organizations of the city. Senator Hill spoke in opposition to the convict system of labor leases. John D, White, republican candidate for Congress, has withdrawn in the eleventh district of Kentucky in favor of Congress- man Adams, assuring the district to re- bublicans. At a republican campaign meeting at Niagara Falls Wednesday night, which was addressed by E. R. Gunby of Florida, Rep- resentative Wilson's name, when men- tioned, stirred the audience, which was composed 1 ostly of workingmen, to the frenzy pitch, and many jumped up, shook their fists in the air, and shouted, “Shoot him!" “Kill him!* J. C, Dahiman, democratic candidate for state auditor in Nebraska, yesterday with- drew in favor of the populist nominee, John W. Wilson. The official count of the vote at the re- cent Georgia elcction has been completed, and shows that W. Y. Atkinson, democrat, has a majority of 24,161 over J. K. Hines, populist. Atkinson ran about 7,000 behind the others on the state ticket. Gov. McKinley found a rather extensive program prepared for him on his arrival at Buffalo, N. Y., last evening. Three m ings had been arranged for at Wesp’'s Hi at Music Hall and at Harmonia Hall, and at each a large audience was assembled, as large as the nall would contain; in fact, none of the halls would accommodate all who endeavored to squeeze in. Gen. Daniel H. Hastings, the republican candidate for governor, reached Philadel- phia yesterday afternoon. He addressed a mass meeting last evening at the Academy of Music, and from now on until Saturday evening, November 3, he will speak nightly throughout the city. Mr. Wilson’s party, on their s) reached Clarksburg, W. Va., at 7: last evening, and were welcomed by an immense crowd, and escorted to the fair grounds by a procession half a mile long. Here a mass meeting, attended by 5,000 persons. was addressed by Mr. Wilson. This mee‘ing ended the special train tour, the trip down the West Virginia Central rallroad into the coal and lumber region having been abandoned, as Mr. Wilson is well-nigh exhausted from his almost con- tinuous speaking since Wednesday. He will rest today and speak at Berkeley Springs tomorrow. Speaker Charles F. Crisp spoke at Nash- ville, Tenn., last night to an audience of several thousand.

He sald of Mr. Hill that he was one of the best men in the democratic party, and always displayed the most ability when on the wrong side. 400 Ripans cures bad blood; druggists, 3¢e.— Aavt. NEW ARMY REGULATIONS Approaching Completion of the Rules That Will Govern the Soldiers. Much Interest Taken in Regular Militia Circles Over the Appear-— ance of the V. The new army regulations are rapidly rearing complction. Ihree-fourths of the entire work has been approved by Gen. Schofield. The balance is likely to be pass- ed cn by him within the next two or three wecks, It remains then cnly to have the entire work approved by the Secretary of War. The advanced stage of the work makes it probable that the new volume will be ready for distribution before the_close of the year. The new regulations are regarded as quite as important as the new tactics, as they embrace the common law of the army, based on experience, orders of the President and of the War Department, laws of Con- gress, etc. Many Questions Covered. It covers all questions of military disck pline, rank and precedence, appointments and promotions, uniforms and equipments, furloughs, desertions, post canteens, cere- monies, pay and allowances, flags, music, and the innumerable formalities which gov- ern every branch of army life. Indirectly also the regulations are await- ed with much interest by the militia and national guard, as the state troops adopt the government regulations as well as the tacties The War Department has ‘taken the greatest care preparing the new regula- tions. A board of three veteran officers, Cols. Cortin, Gilmore anl Babcock, now serving as assistant adjutant generals, were Jetatled to supervise che work. Lieut. John ‘Tf. French, who had recently com- pleted his service as secorder in prepar- ing the rew irfantry, cavalry an? artillery tactics, was given immediate charge of the work of evolving the regulazions from the mass of material—orders, laws, cus- toms, ete. With a force of clerks h> has been at work for months, the board has frequently met to inspect, change or ap- prove the compilation. Serutinized by Gen. Schofield. Gen. Schcfieid has also gone over each step of the work and thus the new book has been subjected to the most rigid scru- tiny. The regulations will embody the expert- ence of about one hundred years of army hfe. Baron Steuben, a German nobleman, who was the driil master of our revolution- ary troops, made the first regulations, but they were very crude and a part of the tac- tics. In 1821 Gen. Winfield Scott prepared the first systematic set of regulations, and they have since served as a basis to be built upon, modified and enlarged. Sue- cessive Presidents have made changes as necessity arose. The War Department isstes general orders every day, applying mainly to specific cases, but often estab- lishing precedents for the entire army, All thin material w digested in 1881, and again in 1880, but the daily orders of the last five years have required this new volume. Character of the Work. Care has beer taken to base the regula- tions strictly upon the text of original orders, laws, etc., so that the personality of the revisers might not find expression. This has freed the book from all appear- ance of being a text book of views and observations of those who have done the work, and has confined it to a succinct statement of actval orders and laws, with the language literally preserved as freely as possible. The book will cover about pages, including an elaborate index of isis and cross-1 fbeiecieneced MA RRIED. KELLY —KNEESI | On | Wednesday. Domer, WALTER G. to ANNIE E.
