THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, AUGUST 6, 1898-24 PAGES. After Stock-Taking Prices. - Up on the banks of the Merrimac, where orders are reckoned by the hundred cases, we're known as bold buyers. In the importing house dis- trict of New York the big concerns consider us among the largest hand- lers of French and English Cottons on the American continent. Through- out the breadth of the land merchants regard with awe the daring manner in which we establish, year after year, a newer and a lower price stand- ard for Cotton stuffs. Our way of business is the “big” way. We're giants "mong the giants. Our Wash Goods purchases are not overshad- owed by a half dozen American concerns. Quantity buying means suc- cessiul selling, because it means a lower buying price and a consequently lower retail price. Now that lower price has been cut to the lowest ever named by man. At the season’s start we would willingly have paid twice as much as these prices for our stock. Choice of All French Organdies, 10c. Organdies that were 25¢. and 35c. a yard and that are 25c. and 35c. a yard at every other store in the city. Not a pattern that isn’t as good as another, not an obtrusive coloring or an inartistic effect. They're triumphs of the shuttles.

A Rare Occurrence and Probably but Few Actually Observ- ‘ea It. Written for The Evening Star. Last Monday evening everybody that could get out of decors was out trying to get relief from the torrid heat, and as the earth was a source of radiation, the sky was much more attractive, with the moon prilliant and cool-looking; but it is probable that only a small proportion—possibly not mere than an average of one in every hun- dred of the thousands of people in Wash- ingten—saw the very unusual and interest- ing phenomenon—a sunar rainbow, that ap- peared in the heavens from a little after 9 o'clock until long after 10. Everybody has, of course, often alos or colored rings around the moon. ‘They appear between us and that luminary and are, according to their contracted or their expanded condition, considered as signs of approaching rain or of cry weath- er; but the rainbows though produced as the halo is, by refraction and reflection of light, is on the opposite side of us from the source of this light and is of much more rare occurrence. it also is of much greater beauty than the commoner phenomenon and its rarity must be accounted for upon the same theory of unknown causes that produce the finest things. with which we are familiar in relation to ail the affairs of life. ‘The writer had never before but once in his life seen a rainbow at night, and of the three other’persons to whose attention he called it and who observed it with him none had ever seen one befcre. ‘The moo, at her best, being full at half- past 11 that night, was high in the south- east, and the only clouds visible in her neighborhood were scarcely thick enough to conceal her outline as they scudied across her face. Low in the northwest there was a heavy bank of dark clouds, that did not even give the usual summer night sheen of “heat lightning’ or show the effects of an electrical storm that might have been expected from the ugiy mood they appeared to be in; and it was against these and rearing its arch well up among the peaks of their jagged edge that this dainty, timid creature of etherial beauty was pictured, wasting its charms on an unappreciating world, that m’ght have been delighted with its silent radiance but for the accident that never happened to lead their eyes in its direction. At times it was very faint and may have been over- looked by many whose glance readily de- teeted the clouds in its background; and if the sky behind it had been clear the contrast would Scarcely have been strong enough to render the rainbow visible ex- cept to an eye making a special search for it. ‘At first only a short section of the arc was perceptible. It crept cautiously up from the westward, feeling its way, as if afraid of being frightened back into. the depths of darkness from which it seemed to come and as if taking time to build its web of gauzy light into the circle prescrib- ed for it by the round orb of its origin. Then, growing bolder, it climbed upward and ogmere until about three-quarters of the whbdle are it could have made appeared quite distinetly. It was to distinguish the colors that we know always appear in the sun’s rainbows, and we must take it for granted that they were there, as the light by which they were made was simply that of the sun coming to them by a round-about way. It seemed. that violet was the predominat- ing hue, and that that color was the one seen ion which, if true, would \- dicate that the bow obs tp thenwtiter was a one, as in primary rainbow, which is always the brighter, clearer one, the red is the outer band. If there had been two bows the primary or brighter one with the colors in the usual order would, it seems, surely have -been vis- ibfe, as the one seen wes high enough above the horizon at its center, probably thirty degrees, to leave room enough for the pri- mary, which is always tho inner, bow when there are two, to appear clear of the earth’s circumference. The writer does not, how- ever, know that the moon's light is strong enough to produce a secondary rainbow, as he bas never seen one, but it seems al- 1 together improbable that it should be, since the light of the sun, which is able at best to produce only a dim secondary bow, Shines with a brilliancy that is estimated, upon extensive and scientific experiments by Bouguer, Bond and others, to be 300,000 times as powerful as that of the moon. Owing to the rarity of this night phenom- { non it is probable that the results of ob- servations of it or of experiments bearing wee its nature are not numerous or re- Northern lights, shooting stars, ec with lustrous talis, and other phenomers that are more or less imperfectly under- Stood are attractive to the vison and inter esting, but a lunar rainbow possesses a ckarm peculiarly its own, that is not sur- by anything that appears in the avens—that is to say, in the opinion of the writer.

Unpretentious as a child, modest as a rus- tic maiden, pure as the distilled vapor that ore it—with hesitating grace it polsed be- fore the eye as if held by magic power in Tpiuctant obedience, wishing to be released that it might return to its wonted seclusion of the Iceland fairy haunts, where, with its sisters, offspring of the moon and the sun, it might revel in a perpetual round of Tmazes, keeping time to the mu: # spheres, en ————— MAKING RECORDS.

ONE DAY'S FUN AT NEWPORT The Marriage Monday Night of Miss Hills and Mr. O'Neill. OTHER TIMELY TOPICS Washington weather for the last two days has justified all the good things which it has hitherto been possible to xay about it. The Santiago scorching through which this city has passed during the month of July has been in line with the phenomenal incidents which have characterized the year thus far. With the dawning of peace and the coming of the familiar darkest hour of gloom and doubt which precedes it always, there has also come the word of the near return of our soldier boys to our own shores, and the filling up in home cir- cles of places now vacant. The week has been such ‘an interesting one in great topics, that small details have passed un- noticed. Here the week started with the funeral of the late Mrs. Romero, and of the hundreds of admirers and friends who were able to be present at this last tribute of respect in this community, where the most important period of her life was passed, there were thousands at distant points who sincerely mourn a loving friend and who would have given much to have been permitted this final satisfaction. The same note of sorrow has touched all hearts and her memory will last long in the so- ciety of this capital, which she so greatly adorned. " The absence of any desire for formal events of the usual magnificent character of this season of the year at Newport has held {ts prominent leaders to the simple forms of good comradeship and sociability. Mr. and Mrs. Belmont commenced it one day by a troliey-car pienic with a dinner at a road restaurant. The Hea grew until now even if the dinners are house affairs full dress is not considered at wil neces sary and rather a mistaken noticia. hot weather may have something with this state of affairs, but j moment it is the popular fad. chroniclers are rather inclined to ¢ dreary season, but why it should with such comfortable views as th vailing, seems rather strange to the every- day idea of having a good time. But Mr. and Mrs. Pelmont made up for any sim- plicity in the first hospitality by the event to which their friends were bidden yest day at Grey Craig Park, their place at Middletown. The cards of tion were to a dinner picnic, but it turned out to be a fete, dinner, vaudeville show, country fair and fireworks display. Para- dise avenue, the first approach to the park, was a blaze of light from end‘to end, and the park itself was gorgeousiy festooned with hundreds of Japanese lanterns. Mrs Belmont, Mrs. Oelrichs and Mrs. Fish re ceived their guests in a bower built of lan- terns, while the Fort Adams Bandi gave 4 concert. One of the most striking features of the decorations was an American flag planted on the highest elevation in the park with changing calcium lights playing upon it. Dinner was served early in the evening, under a red marquee, lighted with numerous amber electric lamps, and at 10 o'clock the beginning of the fete proper was announced by the explosion o7 a large bomb, followed immediately by an elabo- rate display of fireworks from a grove on an island in the lake. A vaudeville show gave two or three turns, and when the guests tired of that, they strolied through the grounds and took in the cc:itinuous performances given by jugglers. cowboy and cowgirl riders, shoot- galleries, fortune tellers and’ hurdy s. Mr. Truxton Beale, Mrs. John Miss Bessie Davis, Mr. T. Sandford Mr. and Mrs. Paul Andrews, Mrs. and Miss Brice, were some of the guests best known here. At Bar Harbor a certain amount of exer- cise, and that of a lively description, is ab- solutely necessary to keep the blood in cir- culation. Dinners and dances thrive, and nature sends balmy sleep under double blankets, the North Atlantic turning its coldest shoulder to the mainland at pres- ent, while down on the Jersey coast they have been sweltering the past three weeks. At Lenox it has been delightfully cool, but the fashionable colonies of the Berkshires will not stir themselves much socially till the first days of the autumn. The remnant of society still in town ts discussing with much avidity an interesting It is Whether or not and physiological question. a person Can prove mental competence cite nothing better to support their pc than continuous participation in social life. A young woman well known in Washing- ton. who recently married without the con- sent and against the wishes of her mother, who excuses her zhter’s action by rea- son of unusual mental strain, says that this statement does her great injustice, and has injured her credit. She proves entirely to her own satisfaction, at least, that the win- ter she made her debut in Washington she attended no fewer than forty-four dinner perties, at which she met the leading resi- dents, to say nothing of the balls, the uncheons and other diversions in which she participated. She says she never heard that any of these people considered her un- usual or different from others at that time. This history of a first season certainly re- veals an excellent physical condition, or she would not have lived to start the second, and from the standpoint of health and en- durance, anybody capable of this amount of hard work ought to do better things for humanity thaa to revel in such small achievements. An interesting event to a large number of friends will be the marriage Monday evening of Miss Pauline Hills, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hills, to Mr. Arthur A. O'Neill of this city. ‘The ceremony, which will take place at the residence of Mr. L. C. Hills, 909 S$ street,brother of the bride, will cecur at 8 o'clock, and be fol- lowed by a reception, to which a large company has been ‘bidden. Mr. John O Neill will attend his brother as best man, and the bride will wear a handsome travel-. ing dress of brown grenadine over pink silk. The house will be prettily decorated with palms and flags, and Miss Pearl Fischell will play the wedding march. After the reception the couple will depart for a trip to the seaside, and will be away from town a week or so. They will then go to house- keeping at the Trotwood flats on M_be- tween 9th and 10th streets. Mr. O'Neill, who is the acting secretary of the board of trade, has a wide acquaintance among busi- ness Men in this city and enjoys great pepularity among them, as he also does in educational circles. He was recently the secretary of the National Educational As- sociation, and the members of the com- mittee upon which he served have pre- sented his bride as a wedding gift with a handsome clock. The bride has received a number of other elegant gifts also. Miss Mary Sullivan, wjth a party of friends, is enjoying the mountain breezes at Aurora, W. Va. Mrs. George J.
