We have a stock of merchandise that is absolutely fresh, bright and up to date in every particular. It is so now—it is so always—and it is kept so by reserving each week one day—Friday—on which each de- partment is compelled to mark down and sell all its remrfants — odds and ends, short lengths, broken assortments, anything soiled or shop- worn, which may have accumulated during the week, and to mark them down to such prices as will make the quickest possible clearance. With the usual run of remnants we also offer goods purchased especially for bargain day as well as certain lots of goods, such as lagging styles, top- heavy stocks, to-be-discontinued lines and kindred sorts at particularly inviting prices to swell the volume of trade and to close them out quickly. A number of such things for tomorrow, and we've marked them at spe- cially low prices as follow: Friday’s Special Bargain in Men’s Neckwear. 32 dozen Men's New Silk Band -Bows, in medium and light colors— stripes and check: 15c. each.

We shall offer for sale tomorrow, AT ABOUT HALF REGU- LAR PRICES, a lot of imported Hair Brushes, which were damaged in transit.

Receptions Yesterday at Cabinct Homes—Personal Notes ef Interest. President znd Mrs. McKinley entertained the cabinet at dinner last evening, bringing together for the first time in a formal way the families who will be so intimately as- sociated the coming four years. The table, at which covers were laid for twenty-two guests, was spread in the private dining Toom. Its central decoration was a plat of red tulips, which was flanked by baskets of varied white and pink tulips at the cor- ners. The tapers burned under rose red shades. No wine was served at the dinner, only water glasses being in evidence at each cover. The dining room, as well as the parlors, were profusely adorned with spring flowers. There were corsage bou- quets of lilies of the valley, with which the ladies went home adorned. President and Mrs. McKinley received their guests in the blue room The gentle mistress of the most coveted of all homes was gowned in a @eli- cate mauve pink satin, richly trimmed in violet velvet. The point lace on the bodice was prettily arranged, and diamond orna- ments gave the finishing touch to a highly becoming tollet. The dinner guests were the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury and Mrs. Gage, the Secretary of War and Mrs. Alger, the Attorney General, the Postmaster General and Mrs. Gary, the Secretary of the Navy and Miss Long. the Secretary of the Interior, the Secretary of Agriculture, Col. and Mrs. Herrick of Cleveland, Ohio; Mrs. McCallum, Mrs. Sax- ton, Miss Boardman, Miss Alger and Sec- retary and Mrs. John Addison Porter. Mrs. Gage wore a rich toilet of gray satin, embroidered in silver spangies, the bodice brightened with pink chiffon; superb diamond ornaments. Mrs. Alger wore white satin, the bodice of green velvet, studded with rhinestones and trimmed with rese point. Mrs. Gary was in pink satin, bro- caded in green. Miss Long wore pink satin, the bodice covered with spangled tulle. Mrs. Herrick’s white satin was trimmed with mauve velvet. Mrs. McCallum wore pink satin and pretty lace. Miss Alger was in white moire, garianded with pink flowers. Mrs. Porter wore light blue brocaded satin, and Miss Boardman was in pink moire, with pearl dotted tulle on the bodice. Vice President and Mrs. Hobart and Sen- ator and Mrs. Hanna joined the company efter dinner, in time to enjoy the musicale. Mrs. Hobart received callers again yes- terday in her parlor, at the Arlington, and had the pleasure of meeting a large num- ber of notables, who are taking this earliest opportunity of making the ac- quaintance of the new official families. In the cabinet circle Mrs. Gage and Mrs. Alger received for the first time, while Miss Long and Miss Gary renewed their pleas- ant experiences of last week. Mrs. Gage is a thoroughly accomplish hostess, and those who paid their resp: yesterday enjoyed a genuine pleasur received in the library of the comf house 1347 Connecticut avenue, which the Secretary will occupy this spring. Quanti- ties of long-stemmed roses and spring blos- soms adorned the room. Callers came in large and sociably inclined groups, the seu- atorial and resident contingent being espe- cially noticeable. = Mrs. Alger had a charming reception also, and the fact that it was held in a house widely identified in the visiting mind with pleasant cccasions only added another sat- isfaction. Mrs. Alger has brought on from Detroit many of the finest paintings from her home there and their appearance on the walls of her H street house quite tran: forms it. Some fine bronzes and carvings in ivory also adorn the drawing rooms. Mrs. Alger had the pleasant assistance of Miss Alger, Mrs. Poe, whose home was formerly in Detroit, ‘and Miss Sickles, daughter of General Sickles of New York. Miss Long had the valuable assistance of Mrs. McAdoo and Mrs. Bartlett of Boston in ineeting her callers. Miss Cary was assisted by her sister, Mrs. Eugene Levering of Baltimore, and the two young ladies had throngs of callers. At the parlors of the First Congregation- al Chureh last i the Daughters of Mt. Holyoke gathered for their annual meeting. Twenty-tive former pupils were present, witn several guests. After a plea: ant collation, several addresses and bers were presented. Mrs. Morris, class of ‘9, described the new buildings for the college. Mrs. Douglas read a carefully pm pared paper upon citizenship. Mrs. Drape class of V7, read a paper upon Revolution. ary Love-making, and Dr. Hazen spoke of Miss Lyon, the founder of Mt. Holyoke College. The former officers were unan usly re-elected: President, Miss Hazen, vice president, Mrs. Dickinson; secre tary and treasurer, Mrs. Griffin. Mrs. Charles Kaufman has discontinued her Fridays at home. A surprise party was given to Miss Lula Burch Tuesday evening at her residence, 465 E_ street southwest.

Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Brown of Boston, Mrs. Messer, the Misses Lee, Wormley, Johnson, Freeman, Datcher, Hawley and Welsh. The singing of Miss Russell and the vio- lin of Mr. Wilezek were greatly enjoyed by the President and Mrs. McKin- ley and their guests last evening. Miss Russell sang the scene and aria from “Der Freischutz” in such a manner as to elicit the most emphatic applause, and in re- sponse to the demand for more she sang a song that was pleasing. She then eang Liszt's ‘‘Loreley” and two Scotch songs—"Robin Adair” and “Within a Mile ‘of Edinboro’ Town"—and finally gave “Home, Sweet Home” -with much pathos and effect.

Comparatively Few Cigars Are Made of the Cuban Leaf. The Ward Line steamer Seguranca, whica arrived at New York Tuesday from Cubs, had on board only eighty-eight bales of Havana tobacco. Before the war in Coie the Ward Line steamers brought om bales of the leaf to New York on a sine: trip. A cargo of 2,000 bales was consider- ed ordinary. It is said that as a consequence of shortage of shipments from Cuba tt has been a correspondingly large i in the quantity sent from Mexico.
