and you shall have the stor,
of them. 1t is late. How
do we dare to bring thou
sands OF these richest O
prints.
Sateens, as the word is un
derstood now, are less thar
half a dozen years old. They
are the latest outcome OF high
art in color-printing on cot
ton CT exquisite TEXTURE
They were rich and beautiful
to begin with, and went on
from one degree OF extrava
gance to another, every sea-
son outdoing the last, until
the pitch OF tlowery and bug.
gy profusion was reached las,
summer.
BY that time also the widest
extravaganza of foreign de-
signs appeared in all the
grades OF American cottons,
especially in the lowest. Last
spring importers thought sa.
teens had had their day and
almost brought none over
We risked new styles in the
very beginning of the season,
and, as soon as we found the
drift OF current taste we ca
bled for more More came
and went; and even we have
been without them hall
the time since spring New
styles we mean. Old styles
we have had all along at
two-thirds, 25 cents; and
have still
A word about the styles.
They are mostly small ecru
set figures on navy blue plain
ground, or white on brown.
The wild extravaganza Oh de-
sign is wholly dropped. The
figures are plain, almost Sc
we're. The beauty is entire
ly of another sort. The fig
ures are not pretty, or fine,or
wonderful in any way; but
the effects in a dress are
beautiful. And now you
look back from this modest,
quiet beauty, and wonder
how 1t was that splendor Of
color-printing could have car
ried you so tar beyond be-
coming decoration in your
dress.
Two large windows on
Chestnut street are filled with
these sateens. Nobody has
them elsewhere. Think OF
the essential properties in
dress as you look at them,
and see how their gentle
beauty grows upon you. 37b

Are We busy, iust know, you ask?', replied
Mr.. Ghenery, to reporters query yesterday
afternoon, "Well, now, you ought TO take your
position IN this stamping room tomorrow fore
noon about II O'Clock, and you would soon sat
isly yourself that we're not only basy, but real
ly rushed" In the course Of few moments
conversation, which was repeatedly interrupt
ed by some one coming in with package care
fully wrapped and sealed, to mail to some
loved one, (may be in Name and likely enough
in OregoD) Mr.. Chenery stated that yester-
day forenoon hard work began in good earnest.
From II o'clock in the forenoon till in the af-
tornoon four of the most experienced employees
in his room stood at the window receiving,
weighing and stamping packages as fast as
they could move their hands back and forth.
Large pouches, each holding foul bushels,
were hung up, into which the packages were
dropped after being properly stamped. Only
five minutes were required to fill a pouch
brimming full and then it was removed and
its place taken by another "smpty"
SO it went on all through the day, and the
same subject will be continued today-only
more of it, Mr.. Chenery says one would be
SurpEloou W kuOW bu6 amount oil money
''thrown away" on postage "Why'', said he,
'you have no idea how much has been taken
through this window today. For instance, a
person wishes to send book-which requires
postage of one cent for each too ounces-and
in this book they fold handkerchief,a a piece of
lace, or other trifie which is merchandise and
requires postage Of one cent for each ounce.
This, of course makes merchandise of the
whole package, aud must be stamped accord
ingly. Again, person sends Christmas
card; they seal the envelope and have to pay
letter postage; whereas, if the envelope was
left unsealed and the flap turned inside (Which
would hold the card equally as well) only one
cent postage would be charged"
Today and tomorrow will, too be busy days
with the letter carriers, and they will go out
from the office loaded down with packages
all in addition to their regular work. Thes Q
days are always hard ones for them; and if on
top of all this the people make Santa Claus
of each aud every carrier they must bear kind
ly the little delays that may occur in reception
of their mails.

The National Encampment.

In our report of the meeting of the ational
Encampment executive committee in this city
in yesterdays PRESS, we omitted some details
that may prove interesting. The committee
on hotels has made the following allotment:
Falmouth Hotel, 200; Preble. 125; United
States. 100; City, 40; Merchants' Exchange,
40; Perry, 30; Ottawa, 200; Waldo, 1OO Cape
Cottage, 1875; Peaks Island hotels, 4O0 Trans
portation free to the Ottawa, Waldo and Cape
Cottage.
The committee on camp eQuipage have ap-
piled to the Quartermasser General at WASH
ington for camp equipage, but they have been
informed by Hon. Thomas B. Reed that the
government has not tent on hand. They
were issued to the Ohio sufferers and have not
been returned. Application will be made to
all the New England States for loan of their
camp and garrison equipage. The committee
estimate that from 1900 to Is 900 meu will go
into camp, and Thousand tents will be needed
to accommodate them.
An effort will be made to get the Great
Eastern to come to Portland during the en-
campment She will be at New Orleans this
Winter, ana will leave there about June for
Europe. She might be induced to come to
Portland on her way home. She is nicely
fitted up to accommodate 5000 people, DIR. A.
q. Hamin of Bangor was appointed com.
mittee to correspond in reference to the matter
with the parties having her in charge If sne
comes, she will no doubt be chartered for an
excursion, in order to give every Grand Army
member chance to ee salt water aud enjoy a
sail.
The Secretary will uotify the Commander
in-chief that the committee have completed
their arrangements with the hotels, and ask
that the same be approved by him.

Accidents.

Mrs. Puringtop, resident of Deering fell
on the ice yesterday, badly injuring her arm.
Mr. Latham of the firm of Woodbury. g.
Pearl street, striking on his head. He was
taken to his home.
Mrs. Robert Sterling, while engaged In
household duties at her residence on Oxford
street, slipped and fell over an open oven
door, iu1urlng her quite badly.
Yesterday morning boy named Piukham
at work in the canning factory of Burnham &
Morrill, was in an upper story passing down
some boards. He tried to jump down instead
OF coming down by the stairs, but caught his
hand on large meat hook, that passed
through the centre of the palm, suspending
him in mid air. His cries brought him assis-
tance, but not before his hand was torn in a
terrible manner, making it necessary for the
physician who dressed it to take eleven
stitches. The wound is considered to be dam
gerous.
Yesterday morning Col. Guptill OF Saco, of
the Governors staff, who had been in the citv
attending meeting of the executive commit
tee of the Grand Army on the National En-.
campment, slipped on the icy sidewalk at the
corner OF Fore and Cotton streets and fell heavi-
ly. 1t was found that he had broken his arm
near the shoulder, making bad fracture.
Col. Bangs of Waterville, was with him at the
time and Major R. T. McLsllan was few
steps in the rear. Col. Guptill was taken to
DIR. Shaw's and DR.. Gordon assisted in setting
the bones. The injured man is now doing as
well as could be expected.
Miss Kane, tho well known dressmaker, fell
on the ice in front of the old L,ngfslow man
sion, on Congress street, and broke one of hef
wrists. Dr.. Merrill set the fracture.
