Many features of this great Underwear sale mark it as the most notable we have yet made. In magnitude the movement outranks all its predecessors—several thousand pieces especially gathered for the oc- casion. And the wonderfully little prices come from timely, wise and great buying and from knowing how to profit by every means of legiti- mately saving cost. . We never were so well pleased with a stock of Underwear as this, and submit it as the best that can be done in this direction. Intelligent comparison is invited.

The White House was surrounded by carriages, and the state parlors were pleasantly thronged. The callers at these receptions are invited by Mrs. Cleveland. »At Senator Quay’s splendid new home the company which greeted the debutante was very large. The spacious house was none too large for the demands on it. All its beauties, which were quite new to most of the guests, were admired. Flowers added a pretty touch here and there, especially in the neighborheod of the debutante, who was simply surrounded by the floral tokens sent her. Mrs. Quay and Miss Susan, who was: daintily gowned in white satin, with the bodice of white chiffon, received to- gether in the first drawing room.

A great many people resident in this city will be exceedingly regretful to learn of the death of Cryptie Palmoni, one of the many actors representing Washington in the great companies on the road at the present day. Mr. Palmoni’s death occurred yester- day at Louisville, where he had been sick only a short time with typhoid fever. Mr. Palmoni at the time of his death was a member of Mr. Stuart Robson's company, where he had been playing the roles for- merly taken by Mr. W. H. Crane, with great success. He was chiefly noted for his talents as a character artist, and was with Mr. Geo. Holland’s stock company, the stage manager of the Girard Avenue Theater stock company and Mr. Frederick Warde and others at different times, and achieved a name for himself which put him well up in the rank of Washington's best actors who have gone out to win fame and fortune on the boards. Mr. Palmoni was a native of this city and graduated from a local law school, thcugh educated abroad. He achieved Sreat success as @ reader and elocutionist, however, and became so popular in ema teur dramatic circles that he decided to try his luck in the profession. Since that time he had been steadily ascending the ladder by diligent study and hard work. Probably his greatest successes were as Sergeant Buster in “Forbidden Fruit,” Sir Lucius O'Trigger in “The Rival and the old sea captain in Mr. Robson's new play, “Gov- ernment Acceptance,” the latter two being played in this city during December last. oe Scientists te Meet. The Geological Society of Washington will hold its fortieth meeting tomorrow evening at 8 o'clock in the hall of the Cos- mos Club.
