History Repeats Itself. Annually the spring “Opening” at the Palais Royal comes and goes......annually the new season’s goods are temporarily distributed at “Opening” prices. .....annually the opportunity is grasped by many ind neglected by not a few..... cancels) the occasion of congratula- tions and regrets. Mothers’ Day. Men's and women’s and home furnishings are mentioned in this year’s list of “Opening” prices, but tomorrow is Saturday and Saturday is children’s day, so that mothers are specially invited to profit by the passing opportunity—to select children’s very latest ‘spring style gar- ments at “Opening” prices. What Mothers Say. The ‘‘buyer” and her as- sistants have treasured the re- marks of mothers and repeat what they have said with brightened eyes and happy smile. This 1896 Spring “Opening” will be remembered here as a triumphal epoch in the branch of the depart- ment devoted to infants’ and small children’s goods.

Riffard Mickle, well known in this city, especial- ly in church work, which took place this morning at the Homeopathic Hospitai, has cast a glcom over a large circle of friends. Surviving a surgical operation, it was thought she was out of danger and would soon be with her family again. Her death was wholly unexpected, and has- created profound sorrow and deepest sympathy for the bereaved family. Mrs. Mickle was prominently connected with Hamline M. E. Church. As a leacer of Sunday school music she was unexcelled. Her life was given to the performance of duty in the Sunday school, and among the young peo- ple of the church. Mrs. Mickle’s sun- ny, joyous disposition made her ev- erywhere welcome, and the old and young looked up to her as a lead- er in her special field of church work. Her husbend and three children survive her, and they will have the sympathy of many friends. The funeral will take place from her late residence, No. 1414 6th street northwest, Monday, at 10:30 a.m. Rev. H. R. Naylor will conduct the services. — Hunting for Heirs. Some time since District Attorney Birney, on behalf of the United States, petitioned the Probate Court to require Mr. Michael J. Colbert, administrator of the estate of Maria McAnanama, who lived in Anacostia, to pay into the United States treasury the amount remaining in his haads of the we- man’s estate. The district attorney claimed that the woman died intestate, ard that she left no heirs-at-law, or kin, and that her estate, therefore, escheated to the United States. The amount in his hands now, stated Mr. Cclbert today, in answering the petition of Mr. Birney, is $218.27. He also inclosed a copy of the will of Terence McAnanama, a brether of the woman, who died in New Zealand in 1892. This will speaks of ce tain nephews and a nicce living in county Wicklow, lreland—Catharine, Thom: ani James Doran. Whether they are living or not Mr. Colbert dees not know, althoug!1 he had addrezsed a letter to them. Should they be dead, the estate will receive neariy $2,000 additional, but Mr. Colbert suggests that further action in the matter be sus- pended until he has had an oyportunity to hear from them. He also states that in October, 1897, the estate will receive the further sum of £49.10 from New Zealand. ee To Ereet a Pythian Temple.

For four years he lived in Baltimore, during which time his wife died. Three weeks ago he started In the direction of this city and stopped at Beltsville, where he remained antil yesterday, when he came here.
