MILLINERY OPENING.

The weather, the great display, the
tasteful decorations met by the steady
throng of lockers and buyers conspIrod
to make our Millinery opening yester-
day an event in Richmond trade-circles.
The exhibition continues to-day.
Many nimble fingers and busy heads
are ~concocting new beauties. and more
Parisinn models, which required a
fufing-up after their trip of 5000 miles,
are on view for today, notably those
from tho great milliner Julia. Such
another millinery stock is beyond the
hope Of a store except like ours,
where a virtually unlimited output iusti-
fes extraordinary preparations. A New
York lady tells us that our exhibit is
equal in style and beauty to any New
York Offering of the season, while the
prices are very much lower, and she eX-
hibited what she was pleased to call "a
hack hal" at ST which would have
cost me SD III New York. IN cri-
dCHce.
Any taste and any purse suited at

Don't fear duplication-we'd rather
create than copy, even for our W pleas

more encouraging.
The good news from Florida was very
cheering to the Democrats here to-day.
The Third-party people had little to say.
TRIRD-PARrY P-oLL-HoLDERs.
There is q good deal of talk in reference
to the action of the county commissioners
in Wake aud Wayne counties IN putting
Third-party men on the list of poll-hOlders.
1t is quite clear now that the Third party
and the Republican party are the same
party and under the same judgment, and
therefore the appointment OF q Republl-
can and q Third-party poll-holder Is just
the same as the appointment of two Re
publlcans. In other words, tho Third party
has 10 distinct political status in North
Carolina.
Paste Grand Sire Charles NJ. Busbee re-
turned to his home here to-day from tho

lican cOntTere, Is making both Llndsay's
speech and his own on the stump. Settles
friends met Lindsay and told him he need
not appear on the stump that Settle
would look after his interests. In all his
speeches Settle eulogizes Lindsay and
tlckles the vanity of the Third party.
A rumor became current that represen-
tatives of the Republican National Com
mlttee had come here to confer with
Chairman Eaves with reference TO taking
down the State ticket. The report is I'M
founded. Archibald Grady, of the State
committee. was here to-day, rs were also
Rufus Amis, nominee for Secretary of
State, and Editor j. W. Goslen, OF Win
stOn. There was q conference between
these and Eaves, and copy for the party's
tickets was given to the printers, Goshen
getting half of this work. There is no
movement in the direction of taking down
the Republican ticket. Rufus Amis, w.
