All Ready to Inaugarate. Nothing now remains to be done In prep- aration for the great event of tomorrow which is to signalize the transfer of the administrative powers of the government from Grover Cleveland to William } Kinley. The official part of the program is simple and is well in hand. The duiy which fell to the citizens of the capital was arduous in its immensity of detail, but the nt results show that it has been nias- One notable achievement has been lation of the viewing stands along of march, which have been kept of a generally uniform character and dec- orated in a manner superior to the style that prevailed in the past. Most of these stands have been put under cover, and the comfort of the people will be more surely guaranteed than was possible at former inaugurations. The public mon: ments that might otherwise have been ex- posed to the ca ness or the vandal- ism of the crowds have been well pro- tected in a manner that has not detracted from the appearance of the streets. At the Capitol the Senate committee on arrange- ments has offended the House by con- structing the great stand on which the new President will take the oath and de- liver his address as an adjunct to the S ate wing. instead of an inter-house affair. ‘This arrangement, however, has added to the seating capacity of the stand, and will doubtless enable a larger number than ever before to hear the words of ihe ad- dress. The details of the inaugural ball h been arranged with great care, and it is now practically certain that the affair will be one of the most brilliant and suc- cessful ever known in the history of the inaugurals. Altogether Chairman Bell and his associates have labored with good ef- Thousands upon thousands of cit- of all sections have been pouring into the city for hours, and will continue to come until the last hour before the cer- emonies tomorrow. The capital will bo crowded by upward of half a million peo- ple, unless all present signs fall. The pa- rade will be long and imposing in the character of the men composing it. It will represent the government through the army and navy, the citizen soldiery through the state militiamen, and the peo- ple generally through the hosts marching in the ranks of clubs that did good werk in the campaign that resulted in the clec- tion of the man who is to be elevated to- morrow to the highest political office in the world. —_+ 2 —__ The Engineer Commissionership. From all that ts lecally known of Cap- tain Willlam M. Black of the Engineer Corps of the Army, he will prove a com- petent and acceptable successor to Major Powell at the District building. He stands hish in his profession as an engineer, and throughout Eis service since graduation, twenty years ago, he has exhibited high talent. His work has brought him in con- tact with the people of Washington on previous occasions, and he therefore takes office as Engineer Commissioner with a knowledge of some of the details of the work which he is about to undertake. He will find the pest one of unusual difficulty, not merely because of the engineering prob- lems presented for solution, but because of the municipal and administrative functions that fall to the Engineer Commissioner, as “li as to his colleagues on the board. These duties are not at all military, and the methods of thought and action to which an army officer is accustomed are not applied to them with satisfactory re- sults The Engineer Commissioner is a officer, performing civil func- and upon his manner of dealing not only with local questions, but with the lo- cal people with whom he comes in contact, ly depends much of his success. Major Powell, the retiring Commissioner, goes to his new post with a recently-per- fected record in the matter of grade cross- ings in this city which of itself entitles bim to the warm esteem of the commu- He has been uncompromising in his to compel the railroad companies entering this city to comply with the plain requirements of the situation and to adjust themselves to modern conditions at the capital in a manner and upon terms which Would not be unjust and injurious to the community. His findings and recommen- dations on this subject set a high standard that will necessarily influence future con- siderations of this question both by the Commissioners and by Congress. Major Powell has also, by his exhaustive and faithful labors in connection with the atreet-extension project, written his name conspicuously into one of the most im- portant chapters of local municipal his- ory. —>-—___ It may be comforting to the incoming President to reflect during the review of the inaugural parade that a great many aren behave far more gracefully at govern- ment desks than they do on horse-back. soe It is to be regretted that Mrs. McKinley senior could not have been persuaded to visit the mothers’ congress and give a few suggestions on the best methods of bri, ES ing up a bo: ie EN a an a a I a I a a a a el a a ae Ea Ed ual ol eer Season opens when it will require all the self-control which @ pumber of patriots can command not to seem too anxious while the offices are being passed. soe if March will affably mt to come in Uke a lamb, the public, on inauguration beat, will be willing to take the conse- quences ee ___ riet In Congress. + local legislative record published in yesterday's Star serves to show that though this hes been 2 short session and oceupied with a number of unusually 3 portant and time-consuming topics of na- tional interest, yet the grist of local laws that has been ground is uncommonly larg ‘The vi ‘the total value accruing to the Distric from lation, too, has been mark- ediy al the average. The two District 0 ces have worked harmoniously and ait: and the chairmen, Senator Me- Millan and Representative Babeeck, have lost no opportunity to further the District's interests in every possible direction. On mere than one occasion the House has been nelined to grant the regulation period for the consideration of bills on the Dis- trict calendar but with rare tact and skill the chairman hes succeeded in securing rractically a full allowance and has made the best use of his time. ‘The list of measures enacted into law speaks for itself, but it does not fully in- dicate the local work of Congress, for as the appropriation bills now stand they con- tain many valuable legislative provisions that may yet go upon the statute books. Senators Teller, Allison and Cockrell and == ery, as conferees on the District appropria- tion bill, are now engaged in thoughtful consideration of some of the most import- ant questions that affect the local welfare. An awkward complication confronted both the appropriations committees in the form of a dispute over the electric lighting con- tracts and privileges, and at one time this complication threatened to prevent consid- erable local legislation of a desirable char- acter, and even to completely obstruct the passage of the appropriation bill through this Congress. A compromise was agreed upon, neces- serily temporary in its character for it 1s definitely promised that at the coming session, which will be of unlimited length, the question of providing a permanent sys- tem of subways for the Disteiect will be exh:.ustively considered with the view of enacting a law upon the subject that will put an end to all «hese embarrassments and uncertain«des and at the same time relieve the city vf its present burden of overhead electric wires. The District has %9 @mplaint to make of the last session of the Fifty-fourth Jongre: ——_+ +e —_____ A Fair Fourth Promised. If the forecast of a pleasant inaugu- ration day that is sent forth from the weather bureau teday be correct—and it 1s vouched for by svch eminent authorities on “highs” and “lows’’ as to warrant the fullest credence and faith—the rain that has been falling today will only add to the pleastre of tomorrow. For four days at least this city has been blessed with the most delightful weather, clear and baimy, and the only drawback to its com- plete enjoyment has been the growing fear that it was too geod to last. Experi- ence has proved that after three or four fine days a day or so of stormy condi- tions is pretty sure to follow and there has been a marked apprehension lest Thursday should fall within the disagree able period. The coming of rain this morr- ing heightened this fear, but at the time of the deepest gloom came the announce- ment from both Chief Mcore and Major Dunwoody of the weather bureau, couched in tke most positive terms, prom- ising fine weather tomorrow. The slight rain of today will not damage the decora- tions materially, and will put the people in a mood to appreciate by contrast the promised clearing of tomorrow's skies. It seems practically certain that under any weather circumstances the temperatures will not be dangerously cr even uncom- fortably low tomorrow and the greatest bugbear of all, a freezing day, is not viewed as among the possibilities. += Inaugural Stars. The Star offers welcome to the thousands of strangers who have come and cre still coming to participatet in or to view the inaugural ceremontes. For their benefit, as well as that of its army of regular readers, ‘The Star has prepared a vast amount of interesting and timely reading matter con- cerning inaugural proceedings, and its re- porting arrangements are such that its issues of this week may be relied upon as in every way accurate and adequate records of the great event. With a wealth of illus- trations and special chapters, The Stars of today and the three following days will form a complete history of the ceremonial and its incidents, and no better souvenir of the occasion could be found than a set of those four numbers, to be carried away or to be sent to friends who have been unable to journey to the capital. ——_++e____ President Cleveland and President-elect McKinley no doubt dined very cosily to- gether.

Special Bargain Day. ‘ Our store policy is based on letting you be your own judge as to the goods and quantities you need. Nobody is coaxed to buy and no fixed rules govern your choosing when you do buy. You choose ac- cording to your requirements. We cut any length of piece goods desired; we divide certain lots of goods for accommodation which were intended to sell as a whole. Then, as you perhaps know, in a line of Wraps, Un- derwear, Hosiery, Gloves, Shoes, etc., the medium sizes sell first, leav- ing us the very small and the very large sizes. Then, again, articles bas come soiled, marred and otherwise defaced from handling and displaying =and so on. From these various sources remnants accumulate very rap- idly when sales‘are large and we cannot push them aside or pile them up. Our policy demands their absolute and immediate clearance in order to keep the stocks fresh, bright and up to date in every particular. than perfect goods or complete assortments have no place here. Hence Friday of each week is devoted to the selling of remnants— fragments, remainders, etc.: and they are the genuine, legitimate sorts, not reninants made for the occasion. There'll be a goodly collection t pick from Friday, and for quick distribution we've made the prices in many cases half and less. _ On Friday we shall also offer several bargain lots of goods secured expressly for this occasion at very specially low prices.
