Choice Trimmings and _ Proper Buttons-= a é =-AT== PERRY'S. “Coming Styles”—that book of exclusive fashions, which we are exclusively offering -here, will tell you of the sante class of Trimmings we are showing this season, as being the very latest and most proper effects to adorn the finest gowns, ete. + Such indorsement as that is sufficient to claim them as the best. The best are what we intended to have. The best are what you want. They cost no more—and why shouldn't you have them? They give life, sparkle and tone to the com- binations they are used to make. Especially effective are they on the fabrics selected from our stock—these goods were gathered, like the Trimmings, because they represented the choicest of fashion’s favorites. «'! You cannot ask for a wider range of variety—there is cetn tainly no larger line in town—if, indeed, there is another as large. : With bigness—bestness—and cheapness to commend these Trimmings—and that includes a complete line of Buttons —they must be exactly what you want. = Sadeedatestetoatonatendesiatentatendendat adeteatendateadendetiaseodetoadeeatbageogetoadedoaredeasongesoarenrechasetoareestoaseneeteatetoageneatoaseteasoatetoatentetoatbaatiateaoateateaeatnateahateatatnaseaeasiageahsgeatnat seeathaterateriateatetnasvedtnnteteeterternatectetortectortoateetstnetetoatedteteateties % Applique Passementerie, in to Itoch Plain Gold White Cotton.

COFFINS CARTOONS, An Exhibition ef Drawings of the Lamented Artist at Veerhotfs. The exhibition of the drawings of the late George ¥. Coffin, the reproduction of which in the public prints placed him in the front rank of cartoonists and gav> him high Place in the esteem: and.affection of the People, will open tomorrow at Veerhoft's art rooms, on F street northivest, continu- ing one week. That crow.s of unusual Proportions will visit the exhibition is_a foregone conclusion, as Coffin’s friends and admirers were not confined to the. imme- diate circle, wide as it was, of those who were personally acquainted with him. The genial influence of hic art endeared him to thousands who were strangers to the real aman, and his keea andj brilllaai humor Mashed at a thousand brovkfast tables and as he held one of Coftin’s striking 1 satires of some passing political the fore him: “Coffin is a cocktail to me. There was a wide world of meaning in the exclamation. It indicated that the cartoons the artist drew with such amazing facility, brightened, refreshed and inyigo- rated, and while the metaphor was not ele- » it wes a striking ustra- the effect Coffin produced with everything he did: It was a delight to see Coffin work; he enjoyed it so much. There was never a cruel strcke in his pen and there was naught of envy or malice or meanness anything he ever did. He saw shams and ridiculed them; he perceived bubbles and pricked them,’ but he did both with a genial smile and a pleasant bow. He pos- sessed that intuition which led him to ex Pose the very weaknesses in ‘issues and leaders that everypody else would have seen if they had only thought of it before. His fancy played in a thousand ways, but never became grotesque or fantastic. be- cause he was a gentleman in all things. —— POLICEMAN PIERCE HELD. Bricf Proceedings in the Police Court iv Policeman James E. Pierce, whose arrest yesterday on a charge of burglary, as de- tailed in The Star, caused a sensation, par- ticularly in police circles, was arraigned this afternoon in the Police Court, The proceedings were very brief, Pierce plead- ing not guilty and waiving preliminary ex- amination. He was promptly held for the action of the grand jury, Judge Kimball fixing the bail at $3,500. ‘Surety was not furnished. The information in the case was sworn to by Helen M. Cooke of 2k16.P street, and charged that Pierce entered the dwelling house of Jay Cooke in the night. time and aid feloniously steal, take and carry away one dessert set of the value ‘of $10. The many other articles said to have been stolen by Pierce were not mentioned in the in- formation. The witnesses mentioned, jn ad- dition to Mrs. Cooke, were Detectives Lacy, Boyd and Helan. It was stated today that Pierce was one of the four policemen assigned to duty at ex-President Cleveland’s country residence near this city. ——>- BISHOPS AND PRIESTS. The Apostolic Delegate Considering the Relations Between Them. The case between Bishop Bonacum ot Nebraska and priests of his diocese is now before Mgr. Martinelli for final hearing, having been appealed by the bishop from the decision adverse to him by the mctro- politan of Dubuque. Bishcp Bonacum and the priests interested have been here and have submitted their views. In addition to this each side has presented briefs and much documentary evidence. The delegate is considering these carefully, and a decision 4s expected the latter part of May. It will be final, as the appeal to the delegate was equivalent to an appeal to Rome. The decision is being awalte: with much interest by the clergy at large, as it involves numerous questions as to the relations between bishops and priests. Mer. Martineli! has received notice from Rome of the removal of the present see of the North Dakota bishopric from James- town to Fargo. —_— —__ Carroll Institute Reincorporated.
