Two years have sped by since we first came to Sidon a two years of constant striving and busy endeavor for us. Today, tonight and Tuesday we are devoting to the proper celebration of our birthday——and since the doors were opened this morning our friends and patrons have filled the store almost to overflowing. The entire store is in gala attire in honor of the event—and every department comes forth with its quota of phenomenal values in commemoration of it. . Today, as we pause to look back into the dim vista of the past, we cannot fail to find food for congratulation in the wonderful suc- cess these two short years have brought forth. New additions have been made—two big departments, one of ladies’, misses’ and chil- dren’s shoes, the other of housefurnishings—have been put in. To all of our great army of customers—whose patronage has made the store what it is—we beg to extend our most grateful acknowledgments—with the promise that however well we have 25 64 Chenille. 1.35, Te. bag . : 10,647 25 Te. served you in the past we shall redouble our energies in your be- 12 6-4 Velvet 52.25 he half in the future. 4 1-35 Tonight from 7:30 to 10 —you are invited to listen to a musical concert by Haley's Inau- gural Orchestra—and stroll through the store at your will.

Services at the Churches — Assistant Foreman Harper of the Fire De- partment Receives Promotion. A case exemplifying the queer operation of law in the District was brought to light through the arrest of Richard Earle, the colored driver for Mr. R. A. Casilear. Some harness was stolen in a portion of the town and the youth was arrested on suspicion of committing the crime. His employer was quite certain that the boy did not do the stealing, and when the prisoner was locked up, Mr. Casilear appeared at the station house to leave collateral for his appear- ance in court. He was told that the re- lease of the boy could not be secured, and no amount of collateral would be accepted, despite the fact that the employer was willing to assume all risks. The boy was arrested Friday evening, and was kept in a cell until Saturday night, when he was released because no evidence could be se- cured upon which to hold him. In the meantime his empioyer was considerabiy inconvenienced by the condition of affairs, and it is possible he may take some action. Charch Services. Sunday evening services were resumed yesterday at the West Street Presbyterian Church, the pastor, Rev. Dr. W. C. Alex- ander, delivering the sermon. The services ccmmenced at 7:30 o’clock, the young peo- ple’s meeting being held at 6:30 o'clock. At Trinity Catholic Church the rosary will be recited every evening during the present month, followed by benediction of the blessed sacrament. The pastor of the church is off on a visit to Boston. He will be gone for three weeks, and during his absence Rev. Father Francis X. Mulvaney, S.J., the assistant pastor, is in charge of the parish, receiving assistance from the Jesuits at Georgetown University. Fireman Promoted. Mr. Charles Harper. for “several years assistant foreman of No. 5 Engine Com- pany, has been promoted to be foreman of No. 5 company, on U street between 16th and 17th streets. This is gratifying news to a large circle of his acquaintances, and is understood to be a recognition of good services performed Mr. Harper is one of the best fire fighters in the department, having demonstrated his ability on more than one occasion. He assumed his new duties yesterday morning, having received due notice of nis promotion. Brief Mention. Mr. John Bratton Erwin and Miss Louise Nourse Forrest will be married at noon Wednesday, at St. Alban’s Church, on Wis- consin avenue, just south of the Woodley Lane road. George W. and Henry W. Offutt have beught of Jesse H. Wilson and Richard Alnut, trustees, lot 1, in Smith's subdi- vision of Square 1245. The property is known as 1426 33d street, and is improved. The consideration is placed at $5,168, sub- ject to a trust of $4,068. Harry Fowler, a thirteen-y: boy, living at 2907 Dumb: while gathering nuts yesterday from a tree.near Lovers’ Lane, lost his hold and fell to the ground, sustaining severe insu- ries about the head and face. He was re- moved to his home in the patrol wagon, where Dr. John F. Winter rendered pro- fessional assistance. Shortly before 3 o'clock Saturday after- noon Policeman J. R. Lintler discovered the remains of an infant in Lovers’ Lane, which were brought to the station house. It was impossible to determine the color or sex of the babe, owing to decomposition. The coroner was notified, and later in the day gave a certificate of death. The re- mains were buried in potter's field today. John Jackson, alias “Red Bill,” and a number of companions were indulging in a game of cards in Prager’s alley yesterday afternoon,when Policeman Harrison reach- ed the scene. At the sight of the blue coat the gathering dispersed in quick order, but Jackson was held and locked up on a charge of disorderly assembiy. ea eee THIRTY YEARS IN BUSINESS. Saks & Company Are Celebrating the Anniversary of Their Opening. Passers by Saks & Co.’s big store, at the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and 7tn street, today. found the building hung with flags, in honor of the thirtieth anniversary of their entree into business. The old residents of the city will remem- ber the original Saks store, located in the north end of the old Avenue House, that stood on the site of the present building, its unpretentious proportions and its modest stock giving no prophecy of the great fu- ture of which it was to be the parent. They will remember, too, that some misgivings were entertained as to the ability of Wash- ington to support such an enterprise when it was announced that Saks & Co. had ac- quired this corner and proposed to erect thereon a structure of such mammoth pro- portions. Time has demonstrated that Washington is capable of sustaining any- thing that is worthy of Washington, and with the success that has followed this house everybody is acquainted. It may no. be generally known that Saks & Co. own and control five other retail stores in four other cities, and maintain- their own clothing factory in New York. The other retail stores are located in Rich- mond, Va., Norfolk, Va., Indianapolis, Ind., with two in the city of New York.

Mr. Fleming was appointed a committee of one to draft a suitable letter to be sent to the friends of the association who had so kindly aided them in the equipment of their former meeting room, and advise them of the disaster which had befallen the association. The trustees were instructed to procure quarters in the Mariners’ Hall, on 7th street near N street southwest, for the future meetings of the association ‘until pecma- nent quarters are again obtained, and the association will meet in that hall next Wednesday evening, October 6. ‘The corresponding secretary was instruct- ed to insert a notice in the three daily papere calling on all members to send their names and addresses to the secretary, as no complete list of the members is now in existence. The meeting was largely attended and a feeling prevailed that the association will at once get tcgether and furnish suitable quarters for a future home. a FAIR AND BAZAAR.

With six to supply we are about the biggest buyers who go into the market, and quantities, you know, regulate prices largely. We pay cash, and we get all the discounts that are to be had. “That advertising phrase of ours—‘our prices are lower for similar qualities than any house in the United States’—is, we be- lieve, literally true. You can understand how it can be. “And then our manufacturing depart- ment. We started that because we felt we could make better clothing than we could buy. There isn’t a question but that we do, and it takes the full capacity of our facili- ties to supply our stores. Mr. Andrew Saks gives his entire time to this branch of the business. The result is that we have suc- ceeded, in banishing the prejudice many men held for ready-made clothing by giv- ing them the same satisfaction they can get out of custom making and with a larger variety to select from, at less cost. That was a good move for us. “We think we've reason to feel proud of the success that has attended our career here. One doesn’t realize how many friends he has until the opportunity presents itself Yor them to give expréssion to their kindly feelings. I’ve been shaking congratulating hands all day. “We have tried to conduct this business on broad-gauge principles. Of course, money making is the goal, but we’ve en- deavored to build to endure. We have worked to merit the esteem and confidence of the whole community, and surely the steady growth of our business shows the public appreciation of our’ methods. The only way we can reciprocate is to work harder to make this-a better store even than it has been, or is. Hard to see just how, but we shall keep trying.” - Entertainment by Washington Ath- letic Club to Continue Ten Days.

Methods Adopted to Obtain Evidence Against Suspected Ho: Patrons of some of the so-called mas- sage parlors, where the police suspect an illegal business is being carried on in oppo- sition to the houses in the disreputable part of the city, may soon be called upon to appear in court witnesses. There are a number of these places suspected, and the police of the first precinct are watching them. In some of these establishments there are female operators who once lived in the Division, and complaints have been made to the police that the massage sign is only @ blind for an illegal business. A recent experience taught the police that it is not an easy matter to obtain convictions, owing to the difficulty in securing evidence. For this reason the officers have adopted the method of watching the places to obtain the names of patrons as witnesses. At some of the houses the presence of the policemen was made known, and one es- tablishment closed its doors to the public yesterday. When the police think they have suffi- cient informaticn in a particular cese a raid will follow, and the proprietors will be taken into court.
