foremost in charitable work, has made an
offer to the commissioners, and the latter
have excepted, which will swell the fund for
the benefit OF the distressed In Charleston.
He is the proprietor Of the roller coaster at
Athletic Park, and II is through this amuse-
ment that the money is to be realized. Ten
thousand tickets, printed and donated by
X. o. POlkinhorn, have, by direction OF
MIR. MoXley and through the chief of po-
lice, been circulated among the policemen
to sell. Each ticket will be sold for 5
cents. In this way all classes are reached
and the poorest can make their oontribu-
tion TO the worthy cause. As there will be
no expense created, and at Mr.. Monkeys
request the entire sum realized from the
sale will be added to the fund sent from the
District to the sufferers.
1t would have been indeed surprising IT,,
in city teeming with culture and talent,
something had not been proposed TO bring
1t to some extent into requisition for the
benefit OF the Charleston sufferers,
and the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN gladly
chronicles the fact that grand
concert has been arranged to take place
| at Abner's Garden on Wednesday evening
| for that praiseworthy object. The sale 81
| tickets is supervised by four members Of
| the police force detailed on Friday for that
| purpose by Maj. Walker on the suggestion
| Of the District commissioners, and the gen
erosity Of our citizens already evinced II
that direction makes the enterprise an as
sured success beforehand. The Saenger
bund and Germania Maennerchor will
render chorus songs, and some Of the bes
talent among vocal sololsts has volunteered
| to assist. Its proceeds will no doubt hell
TO swell the liberal offerings OF the nationa
capital to gratifying extent.

Since then we have added
new goods every day. The
beginning of the week will
find us ready for you with a
stock away ahead Of that of
any previous fall season.
Fall Dress Stuffs claim at
tention first. Women set the
fashion in fabrics, and have
said "Woolens." We heard
the whisper during the sum-
mer, and "Woolens " are
here, any quantity Of them.
Every conceivable style Of
fabric, in the richest and
handsomest combinations of
stripes, pin checks, brocades,
beaded designs, mixtures, and
embroidered effects possibly
imaginable, representing a
broader field for the display
of your individual taste than
ever previously presented by
us. Some Of the combina-
tions are simply exquisite,
and no words Of ours can
possibly do them justice.
Plain Woolens, with raised
embroidered effects. Plain
Woolens, with pin stripes
and invisible checks. Narrow
stripes to go with broad
stripes. Checks to go with
stripes. Mems 1rouserings
are patterned after Corded
