Opening Of the New Autumn Season, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, October First,Second,Third “First View” French and English Pattern Hats and Bonnets and Millinery Novelties, Selected by our Miss Nellis in Paris and London. The special display will extend through Wednesday and Thursday. More than ever this business ap- eals to your intelligent self interest. We commence this fall with an absolutely new and fresh stock, much personally selected in foreign markets, so that our goods are dif- ferent from the usual. Back and forth the great Atlantic liners have been carrying the thinkers and mana- gers for many of the stocks. Their eager earnestness to bring the right things was intense. You'll appre- ciate this and understand it better as the season lengthens. Counting the stocks now open and opening, they form a vast aggrega- tion of specialties selected with a thorough knowledge of locgl tastes, and embrace the very latest colors, conceptions, combinations and crea- tions of the cleverest artists of the old and new worlds. Many things are exclusive—only here. Many stocks are matchless—largest assort- ments. The prices—guaranteed the lowest artywhere for like qualities— are only made possible by the broad and liberal scale upon which our transactions are conducted. The New Dress Goods. We have an ideal stock, embracing the cleverest and latest creations of the leading French, English, Ger- man and American looms. All thé fashionable rough-surfaced fabrics— Tweeds, Cheviots and Boucle Cloths —and all the popular smooth effects, The bulk of the stock was personally selected, and is confined Coenen y; to us.

All the. daintiest and most fetching novelties and conceits. Original novelties stand beside skill- ful readaption of old and familiar ideas, presented under new forms and new color combinations, among which predominate iridescent effects in artistic spray, scroll and floral de- signs. Of these we are showing Taffetas Chine Oriental, Taffetas Chameleon, Gros de Tour Faconne Chameleon, Drap d’or Chameleon Broche, Poult de Soie Glace Broche, Broche Pom- padour, Peau de Soie Chine, Taffe- tas Chine Jardiniere, Poult de Soie Chine, Taffetas Chameleon Pekin Stripe, Gros de Tour Broche Per- sian, &c.

Among the favorite fabrics for suits are Box Cloth, Toule Cheviot, Montagnac, Esquimau — For wraps, Boucle Plush, Velour de Nord, Box .Cloth, Lyons Velvets. Strapping of: the seams of many of the jackets and suits is a prominent feature. The jackets, with tight-fitting back and castellated revers and collar faced with velvet, are very chic and pretty. Capes, as fashionable as ever, are cut longer and fuller. The Golf or Inverness comes in an improved form. We've a very choice stock. The New-- But we haven't space to mention the Art Needlework—the Cut Crystal— |. the Bric-a-Brac—the China and Glass Ware—the Boys’ and Girls’ Clothing—the Infants’ Outfittings— the Parisian Bridal Trousseaux—the Handkerchiefs—the Gloves and the balance of the sixty-eight complete stores under this one great roof. They all have their complement of Fall’s fresh fancies—and are splen- didly equipped for active service. Most careful and comprehensive arrangements have betn made throughout the entire store. Many departments have been enlarged, re- arranged or more conveniently lo- cated; some new ones have been added—and our excellent system still further improved. We are thus enabled to render even better service than heretofore to the vast army of customers to whom our firm name is “a household word.” Most cor- dially we invite insfection of thou- sands of objects of interest now on view that were never seen here be- fore.

Armes, who was ar- rested Friday evening for writing an al- leged improper letter to the lieutenant gen- eral of the army, was, as announced in The Star, brought before Judge Bradley of the District Supreme Court on a writ of habeas corpus shortly after 3 o’clock Saturday af- ternoon, by Lieut. Cummings, the adjutant of the arsenal post. In making the return to the writ, Lieut. Cummings, by direction of the commandant of the post, Col. Clos- son, exhibited to Judge Bradiey the order for Major Armes’ arrest, signed by Adju- tant General Vincent, and explained that the prisoner was held in obedience to that order. Mr. Jackson H. Ralston, 6f counsel for Major Armes, stated that he would con- tend that the arrest had been made without warrant of law, and that it was a serious violation of the liberty guaranteed to every citizen. He was not, however, prepared then to argue the matter, and he had no doubt that both sides would be glad to have the case go over for a few days. He suggested, therefore, that Major Armes’ personal recognizance be taken for his ap- pearance, and that the hearing be set down for next Friday. Lieut. Cummings explained that he had nothing more to do in the matter than to present the prisoner to the court in obedi- ence to the writ. Judge Bradley said that @ very important question was at issue in the matter—the ‘right to make and main- tain such an arrest—and he had no doubt that both the War Department and the pe- titloner would be glad to have the matter judiciaily determined. In reply to an in- quiry of the court Major Armes stated that he would be in court when wanted, and Judge Bradley then released him on his personal recognizance in the sum of $500, and set the hearing of the case down for next Saturday morning at 10 o’clock. —.». +. 5 Educational Institutions.

Do you krow what a “Story of Mystery” is? It is a continued story, of which all but the last chapter is printed, and then guesses are made as to the solution, then the final installment is printed. Early in October a most interesting mystery story, “When the War Was Over,” will be started in The Star, and five hundred dollars will be g:ven for the first absolutely correct solation. In case no guess is abso- lutely correct the amount will be divided smong those nearest to a correct solution. The guesses will be confined to women read- ers, Fuller particulars later. — MR. LUNG DENIES IT ALL. He Says Miss Binnchard’s_ Story is Purely Imaginative. Mr. Fred. J. Lung, the contractor who was made defendant ina suit begun Satur- day by Miss Susie E. Blanchard, alleging that he had ruined her under promise of marriage, said today to a Star reporter that notice of the suit had not yet been served upon him. He would, however, he declared, immediately file an answer to the charges without waiting for the formality of a legal service.” “I deny all the charges she has made against me,” he said, “save the charge that I refused to marry her. The statement that I induced her to come and live with me as my wife is simply preposterous. My sister Keeps the house. She had with her all the time Miss B. was with her in the house her daughter, nineteen years of age; her son, fourteen years of age, and a large share of the time another son, twenty-one years of age, and a sister, a young lady grown. I Say the story is preposterous that I should take Miss Bianchard into my sister's family to Jive and cohabit with me as my wife. “Miss Blanchard was a boarder in the family for twe months, the same as I was. She made her own arrangements for board with my sister. She is not, as represented, a simple country girl, but she has seen Many years and much of the world. “I never sought her hand in marriage. I rever promised to marry es I never told any one I would marry her. I never se- duced or attempted to seduce her. I never took or attempted to take any liberties with he> person. Her whole story has foundation outside of her imagination.” =e ST. ANDREW’S CHURCH. The New Edifice Fo: Worship.
