The Palais Royal management need only add that these 454 garments will be scrambled for. arnestly request regular patrons not to wait until after “office hours.” We promise that the early morning visitor here shall be amply rewarded. Knowing that the demand will be greater than the supply, we must make the rule that no garments be sent on approval. This is done in justice to others more than ourselves. t experience tells us that when bargains like these are distributed in limited quantities ‘S are apt to gather armfuls of garments, order them sent home, select the styles and red, returning the balance. How long would 454 garments be here if we allowed this Sale Begins 8 a.m. Tomorrow. Take elevator to third floor, where you'll find monster tables filled with the garments.

Evening Star Bureau, ‘No. 121 North Washington st., Alexandria, Va., January 21, 1897. The policy business in Alexandria re- ceived a serious set-back last night, when sixteen principals, writers and runners who were captured in Sergt. Smith's raid of last week were marched to the city jail to serve out the sentences imposed by Mayor Thompsor. Shortly before 7 o'clock last night the police court room was opened, and in less time than it takes to write it every inch of space was occupied; there was hardly Toom left to bat an eyelid. About 6:30 o’clock Mayor Thompson ar- rived, and he was followed in a few min- utes by the prisoners, witnesses and at- torneys. It had been rumored throughout the afternoon that there would be a sur- prise, and a long conference between Mayor Thompson and all the attorneys in the case just before they were called for trial proved that the rumcr had a foundation. The case of Frank McLaren was the first called, and Mr. J. G. Brent, his attorney, plead “guilty” to the charge. Mayor Thompson imposed a fine of $250 and sixty days in jail. The venerable chief of police, who acts as secretary to the mayor, then called the cases of James Banks, Edward Green, Thos. Nelson, Adolphus Woodward, Frank Chase, Edward Jamison, A. W. Ma- della, F. R. Ross, Rhody Wilson, Charles Grady, Silas Madella and W. A. Henderson. As each name was called Mr. Brent entered a plea of guilty. All of these men are col- ored. Mayor Thompson imposed a fine of $5) and thirty days in jail in each of these cases, the accused being accessories. This was a batch of the runners and writers. Charles Parker was then called and plead guilty. He was given the same sentence— $60 fine and thirty days in jail. There being no evidence against James Lee, he was dis- missed. At the conclusion of these cases Captain Mushbach, representing Edward Shock, John Mills and Avery Henderson, stepped forward and said he was ready to try these cases. Shock plead gulity, and, owing to the fact that he had been arrest- ed and fined $12 in the police court but a few days ago, and had not conducted the policy business since, end had only been in the policy business altogether some eight or ten days, the mayor determined to fine him only $50 and thirty days in jail. Capt. Mushbach thought this a little heavy in view ef the circumstances; but the mayor would not change- his mind. Avery Henderson plead “not guilty.” Sergeant Smith was the first witness. He stated that he knew nothing about Mr. Henderson of his own knowledge, but had been informed about Henderson and had him arrested. A number of witnesses were put on the stand, but none of them had seen Henderson writing policy. It was the same old story of “Mr. Hare” and ‘Mr. Rabbit,”” with the double trap door which makes it impossible for the player to xee the writer. Wm. Payne, who was an em- ploye of Shock's place, testified that he had seen Henderson writing policy there. Henderson went on the stand in his own defense. He stated that he had been in Shock's place. That Shock was a friend of bis; that he had been seen writing by Payne, but denied emphatically that he was writing policy. Said he was only scribbling on a piece of paper, “perhaps writing my name or scratching somebody else’s, as anybody would do.” Mayor Thumpson decided that as it was @ case of one man’s word against another he would dismiss Henderson. John Mills was next called, and he con- victed himself on his own testimony. The same witnesses were called, but no tes- timony of importance was gotten except from Wm. Payne. Payne stated that he had returned policy slips and money to ills, and that Mills was there certainly every day for a week. That he had seen Mills writing policy in Shock’s place. He was there last Wednesday. “I was a run- ner for Shock's place and I delivered my book and money to Mills. Mr. Henderson was writing there, too.” Mills took the stand in his own defense; admitted having been in Shock’s place and receiving money and policy “book” or “slips” from Payne, but claimed that he was there only as a friend of Shock, and never received any compensation for serv- ices, elther salary or commission. “Mr. Shock 1s a friend of mine, and I was there to help him out.” At this juncture Com- monwealth Attorney Marbury arose and said: “Mr. Mayor, this man has proven himself guilty by his own statement, which corroborates the testimony of Payne also. A man, to commit a misdemeanor, does not have to be paid. He is as guilty as If he had received a salary. I ask, therefore, for a judgment of guilty.” Capt. Mushbach said that Mills was only unfortunate In being a friend of Shock’s, and claimed that his being there as a friend did not make him guilty. Capt. Mushbach clted one or two illustrations to prove his point. Commonwealth's Attorney Marbury asked Payne how often Mills had received his “book” and money. “Every day for a week,” replied Payne. “The place was only open eight or ten days, your honor, and Mills played the friend for seven days,” said Mr. Marbury to the mayor. The mayor decided that Mills was guilty and fined him $50 and thirty days in jail. Capt. Mushbach noted an appeal, and later the mayor said he would suspend sentence until this morning. Wm. Payne was next called, and on his own statement was fined $50 and thirty days in jail. ‘The Stephen Blue case was held over un- til this morning, when his personal bonds were taken to appear when wanted. Mayor Thompson acquitted Mills this morning, much to the surprise of those who heard the case last night. As it ap- peared last night, he was guilty from his own statement. ‘This ends the first act in the big drama of law and order against vice and im- morality, ahd the outcome gives general satisfaction, besides reflecting much credit upon Sergt. Smith for the very effective manner In which he planned and .carried out his raid of last week. In every case where a house was raided by him and- his men there was a conviction. Sergt. Smith said to The Star reporter last night: “This is but the beginning. I shall allow no more Policy playing in this city if I can pre- vent it. The police have been instructed to keep a close watch on these places, and it the slightest sign a warrant-will be is- sued and raid made.” During the trial a note was received by Mayor Thompson, as follows: “Walter Dennelly will go to jail tonight.” Donnelly, by advice of his counsel, decided to with- draw his appeal and serve out his sentence. As an outccme of the recent policy raids and the statement in one of the papers to the effect that Sergeant Smith had ap- plied some time ago to Chief Webster for a warrant to rald an alleged gambling house and had been refused, a called meeting of the board of police commissioners will be held tonight in the mayor's office upon the request of Chief Webster to thoroughly investigate the abcve-mentioned allegation. Chief Webster stated to a Star reporter that he desired a thorovgh investigation of his conduct, and also that he desired a public investigation by the commissioners. jotes, After The Star went to press yesterday afternoon George 8., eldest son of Mr. George B. Carlin, died at the residence of his parents, on South St. Asaph street, of appendicitis. i The funeral of Sarah Contee, the colored woman who was burned ‘o death Monday night, took place yesterday.

At Shreveport, Lax iast evening Miss A. Lucille Foster and Representative Benton McMillin of Tennessee:were married at the First Presbyterian Charch, Rev. Matthew Van Lear officiating. Phe bride was charm- ingly gowned in ivory satin, with waist of embroidered chiffon. Her veil was caught with a superb diamond: star, the gift of her father. The maid ®f.honor, Miss Olive Foster, sister of tle!-bride, wore white moire velour, trimmed with clusters of white carnations, and the eight maids at- tending wore frocks: of silk, with green sashes and black velvet picture hats, and carried American beauty roses. Nellie Comegys and Louella Foster, nieces of the bride, were the daintiest of flower girls. The bride's gifts to her maids were hand- painted fans. Hugh Dinsmore of Arkansas was best man. After the ceremony a re- ception was tendered the bridal party at Curragh Mulr, the magnificent country seat of the bride’s parents. The bride comes ef one of the most prom- Inent families in the state of Louisiana. Her father, Capt. James M. Foster, one of the most wealthy planters in the Red River valley, has been a potent factor in Louis- jana politics for years, and her mother, formerly Miss Nellie Long, is one of the most notable and intellectual women in the state. The bride herself is a thoroughly up-to-date young woman, possessed of rare intellectual attainments and the graces of heart and manner that would conspire to make her a social leader. Her high social position, her marked histrionic tatent and her charm of person have already won for her a warm circle of friends both home and abroad, for she has traveled considerably. Two years ago she made an extended Eu. ropean tour in company with her friends, Senator and Mrs. Blanchard. Mr. and Mrs. McMillin left on the 10 o’clock train for Washington, where they will be at home at the Normandie.
