This season’s most important purchase of Lace Curtains has just been consummated by Mr. McGinnis, representing the Palais Royal’s Upholstery Department, and Mr. Frank Magee of Simpson, Crawford & Simpson, New York. The entire Irish Point Lace Curtain stock of Messrs. Sloane, the leading New. York importer, has been secured— enabling prices at retail less than competitors paid at wholesale. New York or Washington has not known such “a deal” this season. The Palais Royal share of the “plunder” is promised by Adams Express Monday morning, so that the sale can commence at 10 o’clock. Prices like thi : $1.79 to $9.98 pair. Values are $2.75 to $16 pair. The Dress Goods. The “buyer” has been bargain hunting and the New York importers have been willing to hand over their “remnants” at trivial prices. This reads very “cheap and nasty,” and yet it tells of over 200 pieces of rich- est fabrics, gathering from houses representing Priestley of England and other leading manufacturers of the world.

Qo AND Tn Sts ‘OLEN BICYCLES, Thefts That Require Much Attention From the Police. During the last fiscal year the police found that the investigation of theft cf Bicycles and the prosecution of the persons arrested for stealing them required the services of one raan most of the time, and usually several officers were employed, be- cause of the large number of cases re- ported. Of so much interest was this branch of the work that Chief Clerk Syl- vester in his annual report paid especial at- tention to it. In his report he sald: The prizcipal feature pertaining to the disposition of lost and stolen property was the unprecedented number of bicycles and similar vehicles recovered by the police and restored to owners. A few years ago, before the introduction- of these machines generai, “hen horses, buggies and Wegons prevailed as a means cf transpor- tatier. for business and pleasure, the loss of a bicycle was rarely reported, while estray or stolen animals came into the keeping of the department almost daily. This condition has changed; genius was relegated the horse to the rear and vd- vanced the more modern.means of tran- £0 that the bicycle club, the police bi- eycle squad, soldiers mounted on bicycles, messengers, delivery men, physicians—in fact, representatives of every station in life—move over the superior streets and roadways ef the District to the aggregate of fifty odd thousand. While the trade of the carriage and wagon manufacturer and that of the liv- eryman has enormously depreciated, the labors of the police have been greatly in- ed this general adoption of the 3 ecially adapted to be stolen, re readily ridden away, shipped by railroad, distigured, the various parts cf one bicycle often being distributed to com- pleie Use action of others of different make, 50 az io destroy the Identity of the pron- ty.

A PASTOR'S STALLATION. Services’ Tomorrow at Concordia Evangelical Lutheran Church. 4 Tomorrow evening at 6:30 o'clock R Paul A. Menzel, the new pastor’ of Con- cordia Evangelical German Lutheran Church, corner of 20th and G streets north- west, is to be publicly installed. The large auditorium is to be handsomely decorated for the occasion, and the choir is to render special music. All the local Lutheran pas- tors and their congregations have been in- vited to be present, and also the clergymen resident in Baltimore belonging to the Ger- an evangelical synod of North America. A number have announced thetr inténtiori ef being present. The charges to the con- gregation and to the pastor are to be de- livered respectively by the Revs, Edward Huber and Chas. Fritsch, both Baltimore clergymen. Paul A. Menzel was born January 1865, in Chicago. ‘His early education..was received in the public schools of his nativ city, and afterward at Elmhurst Colles near Chicago. Mr. Menzel studied theology at Eden Seminary, St. Louis. He spent some time at the unfversities of Berlin and Taubingen, Germany. His first pastorate was at Annapolis, Md., from 1887 to 188), and his second at the Canton German Evangelical Church of Baltimore, from 1889 to 1896. Last July he was called to Con- ccrdia as the successor of Rev. Ernst Dre- witz. Additional interest will be lent to the oc- casion tomorrow from the f:ct that the nal Concordia Church was built in and is, therefore, the oldest church of any denomination within the limits of the city of Washington, and one of the oldest Lutheran churches in the United States. The land records of Maryland show that the present site at 20th and G streets was purchased at the date. mentioned. All dur- ing the revolution and up to 1832 services were held in the original building, at which time another was erected, and in 1802 the present house of worship was built. It is one of the finest Lutheran churches in Washingtor, and has an auditorium seating over 800. ee Sheerin Declares Ag: t Bryan. S. P.

Major McKinley Declares That It in Opposed to Sectionalism, Maj. McKinley said, in an address to the éelegation from West Virginia, visiting him at Canton yesterday: “My friends, the policy of protection to American farms, industry, enterprise and labor, is a broad national policy. It has not a tinge of gec- tionalism in it; it is sound in truth and wholesome in practice. It is not narrow and provincial, but wide in its blessings and its benefits, always promotiug industrial growth, serving national ends, rewarding individual efforts and advancing just aspira- tions and hopes of the American people. It is the doctrine of true patriotism; the welfare of our country and countrymen first; our home and our families first, an ardent, sincere and genuine Americanism that loves our flag better than any cther and would rather subserve our own inter- ests than the interests of any other people or of any other nation of the world. It is not the plea of one state against another: but it is for the benefit of all—a policy ‘that “res no American interests, but pro- -vtes them all. It is only perfect when universal, and it is true to this principle only that the republican party advocates its restoration. The way some of your orators used to talk to you was as if the tariff was @ good thing for the Ohip farmer and laborer, but @ positive detriment to the West Virginia farmer and laborer; as if it could benefit the miner of Pennsylvania, but injure the miner of West Virginia: as !f the wheat and grain crown in Kansas or the beet product of Nebraska would grow rich by its operation and the cotton and sugar planters of Texas and Louisiana be- come’ impoverished under it. Time and again vou have heard ‘hem declare that while protection might be a good thing for New England it was a curse to the west and’ south. You know better now after having had three years and a half experi. ence under partial free trade. In vain did republican speakers and papers remon- strate against this madness, but of no avail and so the people xave it a trial, i ~““With what result? Is {t not true that partial free trade -has injured us one and all?’ Is it not true that partial free trade has injured every interest and every indus. try in West Virginia? Have not the peo- ple and the government grown steadily Pecrer under its destructive operations? Have -not both producer and consumer becn injured? ~The southern, in conimon with all the other states steadily advanced under the protective system, if there w difference between them an: err states, ft was in every year from 1870 to 1890 simply *be- cause their resources were greater and ttetr development more general and rapid.

The reading by Mrs. Finley of a short story .and music filled the time. The Misses Clifton rendered some charming duets on plano and mandolin, and Miss Leavitt played Chaminade’s Pas des Am- phores, and sang Buck's Creole Lover's Song, after which the club insisted on hear- ing “Good-bye, Sweet Day.” Light refresh- ments were served, Miss McKinstry being the hostess of the evening. With the chilling winds and falling leaves of autumn the series of summer outings of the club to the various places of interest in the country round about the city have come to an end. There excursions have proved so enjoyable that the verdict has been unanimously ren- aered that nature’s parlors during the heated term are to be preferred to those of e club, delightful as the latter are.

The mother hed sus- pected that he would take the boy, lut she Was powerless to prevent him from doing 80.
