Outside the theaters and Courtland beach the week has been cntirely devold of any entertainment of a startling nature, The streets, however, have commenced to look llke the regular season, for the fashionables are returning, and within a month It will be safe to hazard a prediction as to what the soclal lons and lionesses will have to offer their constituents, for soclety has its constituents as well as politiclans. The visit of Mrs. Potter and Mr. Bellew dld not, strange to say, call out any con- siderable number of the haute monde, pre- sumably for the reason that they are mot in town to be called out, yet '‘Charley's Aunt" on the opening night brought tho swells to the front as if it were the height of the regular season.

I find that the manufacturers of suits are also making greater efforts, the rapid growth of public opinion in favor of ready made gowns during the past year or two, proving to them that a new field of in- dustry is opening and that in the not far distant future all ladies will buy the greater part, if not all of their suits, ready made. The suit business of a few years ago was conducted here and there by cloak houses during the spring as a “‘side line” to keep their force busy. Shawls then belng worn, there was little demand for spring jackets, and capes were unknown. Now it is dif- ferent, thero are exclusive dress-making houses, which make it a business the year around, and employ expert designers at high salaries, who visit Paris and Berlin each season, where they take notes and buy costumes to use as models; some are, though rarely, reproduced entire, others only in part, from one the cuff or perhaps the whole sleeve is used; from another the col- lar, the shape of the basque or SKirt. While in the other cases the leaving off of this or that feature in the original, makes a garment much more desirable for the American market, as they say American dadies are more praetical and prefer a waist with perfect curves and a skirt that is cut and hangs correctly, to the most expensive imported gown that is overtrimmed. Tailor-made gowns arc deservedly becom- ing more popular. House and reception co tumes are, of course, shown in endless vari- ety, but it is considered essential that one's wardrobe, whether exiensive or limited, should contain at least one tailor-made suit. Here in New York one meets them every- where. The new styles for fall are par- ticvallry handsome and becoming to most figures. The eloths most desirable are quiet effects. 1t’s not surprising that the ready made tellor suits give an effect that cannot be produced by those who only make one now and then, as here they are turned out by thousands, cut from perfected patterns and made by men taflors, who, in the making and pressing, are able to glve that look which can only be produced by experience an constant practice. My object in writing this open letter is to fmpress upon your minds the fact that my stock this fall will be more complete than ever. My combeclions here are with the acknowledged lsaders among dress-making establishments, whode productions are con- fined exclusively-to me for Omaha. I b lieve I shall be adle to substantiate the claim that it will pay every lady who reads these lines to ‘wait: until my suits arrive before making arrangements to have dresses made. The suits ordered are being made especially for us from materials of our own selection and we: will be able to sell you fine auits of exclusive designs for less money than the garments could possikjy be produced in Omaha. The balance of my stay here will be de- voted to the selaotion of winter wraps, both in cloth and fursi: And when complete, these departments will tepresent the largest vari- oty of ell new styles ever before shown in Omaha. Very espectfully, 0. K. SCOFIELD. —r——— Lottet {nrciers’ Plonic. The Omaha lelter carriers will hold their annual picnie at Coffman’s park on Labor day, September 8.

AT THE OLD CORNER AGAIN Tho Beston Store Shakes Hands with the Pnblio at Its New Home, THEIR RECEPTION CAN NEVER BE ECLIPSED Thousands Visited the Noston Yesterday snd Found It to e the Most Metropoll Dry Goods Establishment in the West. The event of the season in trade circles yesterday was the opening of the Boston Store in its new bullding, just completed on the site of the old building destroyed by fire seven months ago.

The new structure is designed after ideas furnished chiefly by Mr. Emil Brandeis, the plans be- ing prepared by Architect Latenser. It is four full storics above a high basement, con- structed entirely of fireproof material, and is probably as near proof against fire as hu- man ingennity can guarantee. The building is constructed of pressed brick and stone, all of the girders, jolsts and beams belng of structural iron, all partitions and ceilings of tiling, and the roof covered with several inches of gravel lald in cement. The. most noticeable feature of the interior is the absence of shelving. With the ex- ception of the shelving backing the walls around the Interior, the whole of each floor is entirely open, all of the fine dress goods usually stored In shelves being displayed on counters especially designed for the purpose. As a result the Boston Store is the best lighted building in the west, The interior is not only well lighted. the finishing work has been of more than usual good taste. The new counters and shelves are of antique oak, the railings and balcony work of ornamented bronze. he basement is reached by eight broad, easy stalrways, while access to the upper floors is gained by three modern elevators, one in front and ome in each of the rear corners. At night the building is lighted on the interior by eighty arc lights with es- pecially designed hangers and globes 2 early as 7 oeclock this morning the crowds of shoppers began to arrive and long before noon the basement and first floor were packed with eager purchasers. The com- pany this morning had a force of 218 sales- men and salesladies at work, in addition to forty wrappers and 100 cash boys and girls. When the entire store is completed and in operation the Boston Store will give employ- ment to 1,000 people daily. The stock displayed today for the first time is an entirely new one, not an old piece of goods being placed on the shelving or counter: Of course, the great leader is the immense stock of dry goods, which embraces every novelty of the fashionable season. The new stocks of boots and shoes and millinery are also very complete. In addition to these leaders, the company carries a_handsome line of china and glassware, druggists’ sundries, perfumeries, ete. A new feature of the business fs the ladies’ lunch room in the southeast corner of the basement. Here will be served at all hours a dairy lunch, prepared by competent chef. This feature alone promises to become popu- lar_with the shopping public of the city. Taken in its entirety, the Boston Store is one of the bandsomes( of its kind in the west. Tt compares favorably with any es- tablishment of its kind in any of the larger cities of the Mississippi and Missouri valleys. The building is adapted to its purpose, the various stocks are new and complete, the executive staff is one of the best organized in the mercantile west and the salesmen and clerks efficient and experienced, The store was handsomely dressed, and huge stands of cut flowers, roses, palms and foliage plants greeted the eye of the visitor at every turn. An orchestra in the balcony furnished exvellent music for the entertain- ment of visitors. In the evening the com- pany made one of the most elaborate electric displays ever shown in the city, over 4,000 incandescent lamps being used on the ex- terfor of the building, the sidewalks for a block away being jammed with thousands of people, who watched this grand sight for hours, The firm of J. L. Brandels & Sons is one of the enterprising companies of Omaha. It 1s composed of J. L. Brandeis, the elder, and sons, Arthur D., Emil and Hugo H. These gentlemen first established themselves in the wholesale dry goods business in Omaha twelve years ago. Eight years ago they transformed their trade Into a retail busi- ness. They first occupled quarters at 1207 Farnam street, and then moved to a building at 116 South Sixteenth street. Nearly four years ago they erected the large four-story building destroyed by fire early last Feb- but ruary. The embers had not commenced to ool before work was begun on the new structure dedicated to commerce yesterday. The Boston {s one of the leaders in Omaha business circles, and every citizen who takes pride in the advancement of the eity will extend hearty congratulations to the Brandels over thelr success Lincoln J. Carter's “Fast Mail" will ap- pear at the Fifteenth Street theater for four nights and Wednesday matinee, com- meneing with matinee today and special matinee Monday, Labor day, September 8. It 1s said to be the most successfui rail- road and scenic melodeama on the road this season. Mr. L. J. Carter, the author and manager, has contrived to weave into a consistent story nearly all the good points of the sensational drama. The climax of each act Is strong enough to sustain a whole play, yet so well graded are the featur of the piece that one views with increa: Ing interest through the five acts, the mur- der and the clever trick with the grand- father's clock in the first act, the Mississippi river steamer, its engine room showing a practical furnace, and the explosion with “'complete change of scene behind a curtain of rising smoke,” behind which is seen the wreck, as the curtain falls on the second act; the “life size” freight tfain, with its real istic engine and sixteen box cars, with thelr familiar lettering, followed, at the close of the third act, by “The Fast Mail," the dago dive of the fourth act, and the thrilling incidents and hairbreadth escay which take place there; and then the “full front view of Niagara Falls, as seen from the center of suspension bridge,” upon which the final curtain descends Boyd's will be dark this week. “Mr. Barnes of New York' sented Thursday, Friday and nights at the Fifteenth Street theater. The coming engagement of Danfel Froh- man's Lyceum Theater company Mon- day and Tuesday nights of next week at Boyd's new theater is a renewal of those pleasant visits which have been interrupted for the past three years, The play, 'The Amazons,” is the latest success of this com- pany. The play will be found quite a surprise to those who are well acquainted with the efforts of this company in the past, but the name of the author is sufficlent to Insure an agreeable entertainment. Mr. Pinero has at no time offered to the public and dra- matic work not worthy of serious consider: tion, but in “The Amazons” he has for the first time abandoned heroics, pathos, and what is generally known as strongly dramat writing, and all offered in a manner to win admiration by his careful avoidance of the slightest suggestiveness of coarsomess. In this particular Mr. Pinero may claim an ad- vantage over any known writer of farce or comedy at the present day. ESTERN PENSIONS. terans of the Late War Romembered the Goneral Government.
