All the skill of your dressmaker will fall short of your ex- pectations if you do not give her the assistance of proper fit- ting and suitably styled Corsets. It takes both eyes to buy Corsets. One for quality—and the other for contour. You cannot have satisfaction with one and not the other. You may appreciate the necessity of perfection of fit to a degree that you feel that you must have your Corsets made for you. Needless and costly. Trust it to us. We will see that you have the kind you should have—and you will know you are not paying any fancy prices. We want to warn you, too, against bargain (?) Corsets. The brands that are worth having—never go “begging” buy- ers. They are recognized as the leading Corsets, and they have a record behind them. All these lines we carry in stock —but even then, to make a selection, you will want the advice and judgment of a “knowing” one. Ask freely any of our as- sistants—they are experts in such matters—and what they tell you can be relied upon. The Corset they commend you will find give entire sat- isfaction. Any fitting necessary will be done free. The best here do not cost any more than you ought to pay for good Corsets. pra Special Price: + Corset Covers.

NEW YORK, September 8—A cablegram received from Southampton today announc- ed that the American line steamer St. { Louis, which it was surmised yesterday af- ternoon was making a new record, docked at Southampton at 5:30 this morning and that the time of her passage from Sandy Hook Lightship to the Needles was six days, ten hours and fourteen minutes. This is the best eastward time ever made to Southampton, and the St. Louis has not only broken her own best previous record by one hour and sixteen minutes, but has shattered the record of the Hamburg liner Fuerst Bismarck,held since September, 1893, by forty-one minutes, wresting from her the supremacy on the Southampton east- ward passage. The St. Louis and the St. Paul now hold the best Southampton records, the former having the eastward record by her per- formance just completed, and the latter the westward by making the passage in ahead and thirty-one minutes, in August, 896. This is a triump for American shipbuild- ing, for not only do the St. Louis and St. Paul float the stars and stripes, but they were both launched from an American shipyard.

RICHMOND, Va., Septemver 8.—Com- monweualth’s Attorney Hooker of Patrick county today expressed deep regret at the lynching of Henry Walls Sunday night by a mob, who thought he had assaulted Miss Sadie Cook Saturday. Mr. Hooker also expresses the gravest doubts of Wall's guilt. The only evidence against the man was that while Miss Cook was lying unconscious, a lady took her by the hard and told her to squeeze her hand wher. she named the guilty party. After naming several persons she named Walls, when she imagined she felt a pressure of the hand. This was twice repeated with the same result. The doctors say that Miss Cook must have been unconscious, as ihe brain was oozing from her skull in three places. Walls had made a clear statement, which Was corroborated in several particulars. Further investigation indicates that Mii Cock was not outraged, as was thought. She has since died from her injuries. Her brother was the principal witness against .Charl2s McBride, who has been tried three times for the murder of A. B. Cranford of Patrick county. The murder resembled this in many’ points. Some of the McBride people are desper- ate characters, and several murders have been committed by them. They had a strong motive to annoy the Cooks, and sus- Picion now points their way. -—_-._—_—_ THE OLD EX-CHANCELLOR GROWLs.

A very pretty wedding was that yester- day afternoon at the chapel on Governor's Is:and of Miss Katharine Corbin, daugh- ter of Ci Corbin, adjutant general of the Department of the East, to Mr. William Usher Parsons of New York. Rev. Morgan Dix of Trinity Church officiated. The bridal perty walked from Col. Corbin’s residence to the church, the bride leaning on the arm of her father, who wore his uniform. Lead- ing the way were some young friends of the bride—Miss Liewellyn Parsons, Miss th Williams of Detroit, Miss Eloise Mc- ‘oy of Rochester, Miss Virginia Hunkins of Chicago, Miss Miles, daughter of Gen. Miles; Miss Kittredge and Miss Rose Mil- mine—clad alike in gowns of white organ- die. Messrs. Joseph Parsons, Charles Mil- mine and Rutherford Hayes Corbin and Dr. J. B.

They wore gowns of white or- gandie and lace over white silk, and pic- ture hats of white lace trimmed with pink. The bride also wore a gown of white organ- die, the upper part of the skirt trimmed with insertions of valenciennes lace to fcrm a pointed tablier, and the bodice cov- ered with similar insertions and tiny frill- ings edged with satin. The veil of tulle was fastened with orange blossoms and a diamond star presented by the groom. Her bouquet was of white carnations. Mr. Henry Parsons, brother of the groom, was best man.

Mr. Henry Out of the French embassy has returned to Washington and has taken apartments at Rauscher’s for the season.

The! home, which easantly remembered by its who were prominent in society during the seventies, was at the southeast corner of Connecticut avenue and L street afterward ine home of Atiorney General and Mrs. Brewster, and was not- able in diplomatic and resident circles at a period when luxurious entertaining was so conspicuous. Their departure from this city, where Mr. and Mrs. Outrey were so popular, was sincerely regretted, and there was frequent allusion for a longer time than usually follows a dip!omatic change to the delightful occasions which had oc- curred in theif home. It will be quite a surprise to the many friends of Miss Maye Livingston Beall and Mr. Otho Trundel Nichols to know that they were quietly married yesterday after- noon at St. John’s Church by the Rev. Mr. Wood, and left last evening for Norfolk and Old Point Comfort on their bridal tour. Miss Beall is a daugnter of Mr. and Mrs. Otho R. Beall, and her marriage was quite a surprise to them, although there was no objection on their part to it. -A quiet home wedding was celebrated Tuesday morning, September 7, at 11 o'clock, at the residence of Mrs. E. Rider, 183 Maple avenue, Anacostia. M| Mae Harner of Anacostia, niece of Mrs. Rider, and Mr. L. Murray Gotwald of Washington were the high principals. The bridal party was attended by Mr. Warren H.

Suddenly, September Foneral Thursday, ROBISON, On Septem! NATIONAL ARMOR FACTORY. Initial Meeting of the Board of In- quiry. Points te Be Investigated Have Been Specified by Assi: See- retary Roosevelt, The naval board appointed to inquire into the question uf establishing a government factory for the manufacture of armor its initial meeting at the Navy Depar today, with Commodore Howell, the presi- dent, in the chair, and all the members of the board present. It has been anti that the board would take up the many offers of plants and sites, and would hear representatives of southern steel industries, But in outlining the scope of its work the board construed its orders to give it nothing whatever to do with the selection of a site or the purchase of a plant. A large num- ber of propositions have been submitted, many of them being offers of land, and in some cases complete steel plants. a member of the board said, if the Carnegie Company offered its plant for $1 it would not be within the scope of the board’s work to consider the offer. At the same time all these tenders are being courteously ac- knowledged, and when any parties appe. personally before the board they are « forded every facility and all the informa- tion available. The statement was niade today, however, that the hoard would con- fine its work strictly to the following points, as specified in the instructions trom Acting Secretary Roosevelt: What steps are necessar: a government armor factory capacity to meet the probable requirements of the act of Congress (deficiency priation act), submitting a description and plans and specifications of the land, build- itgs and machinery necessary for such a factory, in accor board's ecnelusions; and whether, in a government factory, the manufacture of armor only should be carried on, that is, by procuring the ingots by purchase, or whether the fac- tory should include a plant for producing steel necessary for use in making the armor, including a statement of the ad- vantage, disadvantage or necessities of the case as ascertained by the board, together with estimates of the cost of an armor fac- tory with steel plant included, and of one without such a plant. Also the require- ments of a thoroughly modern, first-class establishment, should be scheduled and enumerated as much in detail as may be necessary to enable the department to form a clear and concise estimate of the scheme submitted, and of its extent, showing the probable cost of integral parts. The board will also at as early a date as practicable frame and submit to the de- partment a form of advertisement for pro- pesals to furnish a plant, as a whole, or any parts thereof separately, provided by the act of Congress. Under these orders the work of the board will involve more or less incidental consid- eration of the cost of plants and sites, but, as determined by the board, it does not e: tend to the point of considering sy government purchase property or establishments, The board will employ a steel expe ssist in the technical work, but the sel Uon of this official has not yet been co sidered.
