Another link is added to the long chain of popular successes when we add the new glove department. In making this move we have only complied with the requests of our patrons—who have time and again asked for them. To start with, we've bought a stock of high-grade gloves which hasn't a superior in the entire city. Our prices must necessarily be lower than what you ‘have paid right along—for we couldn't expect to secure your trade without that condition, Our control of the market makes the task an easy one. We can quote much lower prices all the time and not half try. But you shall see for yourself. Just watch the new de- partment grow—watch it “gobble up” the trade of the other stores and where high prices are charged. Closely linked with lower prices will be worthful qualities—no ‘‘cheap stuff” will be tolerated. The department will be in charge of a competent young wo- man—with several assistants—whcse experience and knowledge will insure our patrons every help in being fitted properly. To push the new department into immediate popularity we shall in- augurate a special sale of kid gloves Monday. We shall offer ladies’ 5 Foster hook and 4-button kid gloves— in black and all the new shades, including green—with new fancy stitched back—a regular $1.50 glove everywhere— for $1 a pair. Tried on at our risk and sold with iron. clad guarantee that if they do not wear satisfactorily a new pair will be given free. The new blanket and bedwear dept. to the fore. The blanket and bedwear dcepartment—but a short week old —has attained a success in that time at which other merchants marvel. The selling which has bec. going on since its inception would do entire justice to a store of many years’ growth. Monday we begin a special sale which is full of interest to every prudent housewife in Washington. The offerings come at a most opportune time—for J Frost has brought every bed- wear need to the front. If you look around a bit we know we'll get vour trade.

Joseph Anderson, a small colored boy, who is better known as “Pompey,” the Ltal‘an’s intended victim, was fully satisfied that a leaden bullet had entered his body when he saw a tol in Louis’ hand, and heard the report when the trigger was pulled.

The mention of a pistol surp but wus the truth, and added: “Italian seldom tell a lie.” He informed the inspector that he had trouble with some boys, and finally admit- ted that he had fired with something that he tried to describe as a pop-gun. He had no idea of shooting the boys, but only wanted to scare them. “Where's the pistol?” he was asked. His response was that he did not know. He had thrown it away, he said, but just where he did not remember. After his name had been recorded he was taken to the Police Court, and Detectiy Helan had the case continued uatil next week, in order to give time to make a full investigation of the affair. Before he left headquarters with his rrisoner the colored boy, “Pompey,” and several ox his companions appeared to en- ter complaint. “Pompey” charged that Occheonero had shot at him, and said that he was on Ohio avenue, catching ball with Ciarence Hill, when the latter threw the ball with all his strength, and he (Pompey) vas unable to stop it. The consequence was that the sphere rolled in the yard in front of the house of the prisoner, and this seemed to anger him. “Pompey” Wax Afra was afraid to go in the yard when I saw how he looked at me,” said the boy, “and so I stopped at the gate.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: In answer to your article of the 16th ultimo, “Will Not Boyestt Chinese,” permit me to say that the attempt to do so by the New York State and City Laundrymen, some time ago, was abortive from the fact that it aroused the sympathy of those that are willing to make this country the dump- ing ground ot cheap foreign labor, that they may have the opportunity to convert them to their belief. Of this the National Laundrymen’s Association were well aware, and for this reason they laid the resolution on the table Take foreign labor from the capitulist, then American labor will command fair wages and fair treatment.

Damage to Property Amounts About $1,000, There was a lively fire in South Wash- ington this morning, about 2 o'clock, and considerable damage was done. Policemen Evans and Baker were on duty at the time. They were attracted by a bright light issuing from the grocery store of George Clark, No. 643 Ist street. Upon reaching the store they found the stock of goods being consumed by fire. An alarm was turned in from box 41%, but before the arrival of the engines the fiames had spread to the adjoining property, occupied by Thorn & Underwood as a drug store. The house of John Kelly, No. 605 1st street, was also damaged. The police estimate the damage to the stock in the grocery store at $2v0, thal to the three bulidings at S000. Insurance companies wil! make good the losses. >_— Plays an Old Trick. ‘The police were informed yesterday of the. perpetration of an old trick by an un- known colored man on Joan W. Swingie, the proprietor of a variety store on H street northeast. He purchased a bill of Goods, amounting to $3.85, and asked that the change for a $10 bill be sent with the goods to a house on the Benning road. The money was sent by a boy, and the colored man got it from him and ran off, leaving the boy, minus his $6.15. The most comfortable. The Pennsyiva- ria railroad to Atlantic City.
