i THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, JULY 8, 1898-16 PAGES. SSpeTT eer ees We're Hurrying on Toward Stock-Taking Time. And we're hurrying the stock out as fast as fearlessly cut prices can accomplish it. But the beauty of this sale is it is of values that were carefully selected for regular stock—with no thought of the likelihood of reduction. Selected because they are of the grade that belongs in a store of bests. These semi-annual clearance sales of ours are the banner bargain offerings of the year. We've three weeks’ grace left us—and beginning tomorrow we shall put on more steam and rush the selling faster. Thrifty folks will make it a point to be on hand.

It is said that all stories of the terms this country will make are the merest guesswork. Even after a cessation of hos- tilities the administration will give long and careful consideration to the terms it will propose and accept. Many Congressional Callers, Vice President Hobart and Senator AMI- son talked with the President this morning about the condition of Ic tion in the Senate, In view of the near adjournment of Congress.

From many congressional districts the number of applications has run into the hundreds. Nearly all of these applicants are influential men, whom congressmen de- sire to oblige. The President, however, was forced to apportion the appointments, and many congressmen have been disappointed in not getting as many places as they de- sired. They will keep up their importuni- ties from their homes. ‘The President does not regret the time spent in seeing and talking with members of Congress, but when the body adjourns and the congressmen go home he will have a great deal more time to give to import- ant public questions. It has been a matter of wonder that the President has been able to personally handle so many matters since the war began. Heud Adjustable Lay Brackets—Se, te.

Patrick Flannery, a member of Company B, 13th Pennsylvania Regiment, now at Camp Alger, was today fined $10 by Judge Scott for disorderly conduct yesterday afternoon. The charge was that he hugged and Kissed Gertrude Connell, a child of four years, whose parents live at No, 950 E sireet northwest. Mrs. Connell said she did not believe that Flannery meant any aurm to her little girl, and hoped he would not be punished. Flannery said he was drunk and thought he must have been Crugged. At any rate, he had no recollec- tion of the occurrence whatever. The tes- timony also showed that Flannery became engaged in a fight with Corporal De Forest cf his regiment, regarding the affair, and Judge Scott disposed of the case in the Fallls Electric railway. It may be closely approached, also, by the Chevy Chase and Glen Echo railways (changing near Chevy Chase circle), or may be reached either by carriage or bicycle over the Conduit road. Special cars will be provided on the Great Falls Electric railway, leaving Prospect street (the eastern terminus of this railway and the western terminus of the Metro- politan and Washington and Georgetown railways), at 1, 1.20 and 1.40 p.m.;<fare, four car tickets for the round trip. “Any of the regular cars, which run at intervals of twenty minutes, may be taken in lieu of the special cars.
