Reductions are the order
Of the day, and here we
wish to say a word about re-
ductions. We never reduce
the price Of merchandise
except for good business
reasons, and those reasons
are two. We buy many
kinds of goods, and often.
times make a mistake and
buy the wrong goods, or
styles, or too many of the
same kind of goods. We
know we are wrong when
the goods don't sell rapidly,
hence we reduce their price
to move them faster. The
second reason is, manutac-
turers find they are over
stocked and offer us the bal
ance Of their production at
much less than regular
price.
The old plan used to be to maintain the
regular retail price, no matter If they did cost
less. We have always found II paid us bet
30, a.. oIl
we could buy at a low figure, and as we can,
and have bought goods at less than frst.of-
theseason prices, we offer you the opportu'
nifty to buy them less from us.
Both of the above contingencies constantly
occurring In the marts of trade, give opDortu-
nifty to advertise reduced prices, but II also
gives large license for Misrepresentation or
Misunderstanding, and for that reason, IN

WHICH GOODS HAVE BEEN REDUCED,

may be, whether 10 or 90 per cont. AS we
intimated in the beginning, reductions are
Suits.-The demand for cloth suits is on the
wane, which accounts for the tumble In
now at half, two.thirds and three: :fourths the

for these reductions u.s., the lots are getting

THE CANOE cLuns.
They Decide TO Form an Associa-
tion.


Canoeing in the District Of Columbia
will be more generally INDUCED in this
summer than ever before. Some three
years ago there was a division in the
original Washington Canoe Club, which
at thattime was the only organization Of
its kind in Washington. The club di-
yided, and two distinct organizations
were formed one taking the name of
the Washington Canoe Club which took
IN its quarters at Passeno's boat house,
where Il has remained ever since. This
organization numbers about twenty-five
members. The other organization took
the name of Potomac Canoe Club. and
with greater pretensions built floating
club house of the latest pattern, and
located il near the Analostan Boat Club,
foot of New Hampshire avenue. But ~
was soon apparent that Washington could
not support two canoe organizations ana
neither club thrived under separate gov
ernorship.
There was cordial feeling between the
members of each club, who visited alter
natcly at the club-houses, but there
seemed to be an utter absence OF the
canoeing spirit in each club, which alone
could insure success and the usual re-
gatta has been omitted for the last three
wears. But new order OF things has
been inaugurated and which has been
on the tapis for some months: An effort
has been repeatedly made to join the two
organizations under one club name, but
IL has met with no encouragement. Many
reasons were advanced why this would
not prove successful, and the promoters
of the plan were met with opposition. AT
recent meeting of q majority Of the rep
resentatfves of the two clubs II was finally
decided TO form the Washington Canoe
Association, which should have for its
nucleus the two canoe clubs, each club
putting its property into the association.
This is happy solution ofa long-vexed
question and Is the initial step toward
placing conoeing in the District upon a
permanent and successful footing, The
clubhouse of the Potomac Canoe Club
has been removed to Analostan Island
opposite the Washington Canoe Club,
and the association thus have two we'll
equipped houses, connected by q canoe
ferry. The membership in the assoca-
ton now numbers thirty.six active canoe
lists and many others have signided their
intention of Joining the association.

A Sidewalk Gnrden

Half dozen small rose bushes and
geraniums planted on the two square
yards of earth surrounding tree on
Pennsylvania avenue in front of a we'll
known confectionery have attracted more
attention during the past two days than
all the flowers and plants in the Botani-
cal Garden. The flowers occupy one of
low sufficient moisture to reach the roots
of the trees to keep them alive.
The flowers are trespassers on the rights
of pedestrians to very small extent, and
there is nothing to keep people from
tramping them into the dust, but IL is so
refreshing to see them blooming in the
concreted desert that they are protected
and treated with as much consideration
as if they were babies and the only enc
mics they have are the yagrant ours.

PEOPLE,.

A London tailor's dictum was that
he could take meal sack and make
q suit OF clothes worthy Of gentle
mans wearing II the fit was right.
Gentlemen have fancies in dressing.
One goes for something showy, an
other expressly calls for a special
weave, and so on. But the particular
points Of a suit are fit and style. Ma
terial and making may be ever 30
good, but condemnation will be swift
if there be failure in fit and style.
In these two points our stock Of suits
for business and everyday wear full
fills the highest ideals of dress; with
due attention given to propriety of
fabrics and perfectness Of making,
and, above all, with the wit Of the
clothier--his MISUNDERSTANDING at
its brightest, in the tone of fashion
reigning in them, impalpably, dis
tinctly stamping them as stylish and
faultless in fit. We extol these less
highly than a gentleman would in ex-
amining them. They are ready
made, and at prices Of ready-made.
You'll be likely to think them above
the average of custom work when you
see them.
