THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1896—SIXTEEN PAGE3. 7 PIERRY’S Fashion is diplomatic. She gives sanction to the use of fabrics for Wrap making—that may differ little, or radically, from those she employs in her own making up into garments ready to wear. Thus everybody is suited. z ¢ & 3 Ka Hi < H $ = Tie “greater” store—the “leading” store—is a faithful fol- 3 lower e fashion in all her various whims and moods. That 3 brings to our counters a most rich and varied collection of im- < ported and domestic fabrics—woven and patterned expressly 4 for this Wrap service. It gives your own personal taste the fullest latitude. ; There are effects here for the mature years’ where quiet elegance is most attractive. The livelier designs that appeal best to younger womanhood are plentiful. And conspicuous among the others are the juvenile colors and combinations that suit the misses’ and girlish years. They are all new styles—that is one recommendation for them. They are the very best qualities—that is another strong point. Their exclusiveness—being special creations not to be found in every collection—is a third. And last, but not least, the prices are more than moderate—really cheap. z If you have got the spark of creative genius it will be an easy and economical matter to develop it under such favorable conditions—and evolve a distinctive type of fashion all your own—that shall have the added virtue of elegance. While the Linings and Trimmings, most appropriate and Soe . tet Sedeedergentege Seteetetogetededetetite Soageegengee suitable, are at hand—what we want to introduce to your spe- £ cial attention—just now—is the array of choice fabrics—the 4 SePteetetn foundation upon which you can build your ideal.

THE YOUNG MAN'S CHANCE Has the Time Gone by for an Easy Start? Some Interesting Philosophy on # Question of Interest to Many Young People. From the Pittsburg News. “Please answer me editorially in the Daily News if there is as good a chance for an ambitious young man now as there was forty years ago.” This request comes from East Pittsburg, where, we understand, there is more ambi- tion to the square inch than there is of politics in Ohio, A chance for what? ‘To get married is one of the first thoughts of an ambitious young man, and the chance for that is quite as good as it was forty years ugo, if not better, but the same cannot be said of getting a good wife. One of that kind hes spirit and self-reliance, but in the course of the last four decades numerous fields have been opened in which girls of spirit d self-reliance can earn for themselves independent living, and consequently an they are rather choice in their notions as to what a husband ought to be. They con- sider ambition in him as indispensable, but require other qualities. A man can be am- bitious and be a very poor husband. chance of getting a good wife now i In fa who were married then will tell you fatiy that no such wives as theirs are to be had now. If our correspondent does not mean that, but a chance to become famous, we reply that it is vastly better than it was forty years ago. Thus a man who had spent his L:fe in obscurity so deep and dense that he was hardly known in a saloon two blocks proposed to go over Niagara Falls in rrel and immediately the fame cf bim, as it was, fic the ends of the one what » proposed to do w ger crowds than Mr. the distinguished Mr. New York, treasured by the newspapers of the metrop- olis. Who knew anything of him until he jumped from the Brook. Mr. Cor- bett was little and seldom heard of until he landed one on the jaw of the son of thé modern Athens, Mr. livan, and then and since the world as rung with his name. When he was in Ireland, Dublin forgot the cause of home rule in its admiration for him, the factions ceased to fight in the prese of the fighter. We might go on to the length of a column with instances of the case with which fame is won now. It was not so easy forty years ago. But. perhaps_our correspondent means a chance to get on in the world. Indeed, we are pretty sure that this is what he means And he has opened up a large subject, so e that it can be dealt with in barest outline only in a newspaper article. To get on in the world conveyed one idea forty years ago; it conveys quite another now. Then a man described as getting on lived in a style not to be thought of by one who so described now. What were luxuries then are necessities now, in most instances, and no one would think of a man who does without them as getting on. If one is con- tent to limit his expenses to what those the ambitious young man of forty ago were, his chance to get on is ¢ as good, if not better than it w Compare the Pittsburg of 1856 with Pittsburg of 18%, and the manner of here now with what it was then. That will bring out clearly the two standards of ex penditure of the two periods, without con- sidering which no correct notion of the relative chance of getting on can be had. The average ambitious young man of t day spends dollars to the dimes spent by the average ambitious young man of forty years ago. People complain that there is more com- petition now than then. That is true, be- cause there are more persons to compete with each other, but an increase i amount of competition and an incre the the strength of it are different things. There were times before 1856 when compe- tition for employment and tor tr as keen as it has ever been since. it d ul that men have t to work for a dollar a day of them at a period which s from the distance of the v their food and shelter, work on those term iner in the amor is enchanted worked for and were glad to get | ake an ition for t of com an increase in the strength of it.

It has In 1886 he built a hous D taking advantage of an opportunity which actually offered itself, and a few after an assessor remarked that It w: 00d @ house as he had paid nearly as much for. Competition there is, but it makes chances as well as kills them. It kills them only for those unable to see them or without courage to seize them. Upon who: docs competition tll most? in the common employments, skilled, in which neither brightness of mind nor force of character is much de- manded, among the men whose places are casiiy supplied by machines. A man of bright mind and force of character has as good a chance to get on in this country now as he ever had, and the proof of that is In the thousands’ who do get on. Forty years ago a man with what would be deemed a very moderate fortune now was looked upon as eminently successful. To- day such men attract hardly a passing glance. It fs hardly exaggeration to say that in proportion to population there are more such men now than there were forty years ago. Since then there have | three panics in this country, and they rat levelers, sweeping aWay accumula- tions of wealth. It is therefore hardly ex- aggeration to say that the men of moderate fortures did not inherit them, but. made them. The number of such, not to men- tion the multitude each with a decent com- petency, are evidence that the chance of a man ambitious to get on is as good as it ever was. The Star's Election News.

DIED IN AN OUTHOUSE Mabel Catlett Was Supposed to Be Intox- icated. Policeman Herbert Went to the Premises to Arrest Her a) Found Her a Corpse. ."Say, mister,” said a small colored girl to Policeman Herbert in South Washing- ton this morning, “a lady around there says will you come and take a drunken woman oul of a closet. “I'll be around there in a minute,” said the officer, who thovght he would stop at the patrol box and call the wagon But, instead of doing this, he followed the girl to Ambush court, near 6th and K streets, and there at the home of Emma Lucas he was directed to the little frame structure in the rear end of the yard. The officer was told that the colored wo- man, Mabel Catlett, who was supposed to be intoxicated, had come home only a short time before he was sent for, and Mrs. Lu- cas wanted to get rid of her. Opening the door of the little shanty, the officer saw the woman lying on the floor. He stooped to pick her up, w he made the discovery that woman was dead. The wagon was sent and the body was removed to the morgue. Mabel Catlett was about thirty years old, and very litle is known about her. She Scarcely had clo: hing enough on her to cover her body, and her feet were on the ground when she called at the house of Mrs. Lucas two weeks ago and asked to be taken in and assisted. Her condition was pitlable in the extreme, and Mrs gave her a place to sleep and fed slept there last night and went out earl this morning. When she returned she ap- peared to be under the influence of liquor, but the police think her condition was due to illness and not to the use of intoxicants. This question may be determined when the coroner makes his investigation. In all Probability the body will be interred in rs field, Predi s’ Election. James W.
