NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
B. & B.

The heart of a rose, the
varying tints of sea shells, the
golden hues of sunset! Such the
impressions one gets when the
beauty of the CENTRAL
CASE at EXPOSITION is
seen. The exhibit consists in
Evening Silks-three sides of
the case being devoted to these
fabrics-pink, blue and yellow
the predominating colors, while
here and there tints of nile,
cream and pearl add variety to
the charming textile picture,
many of these soft-shaded
grounds overrun with undu-
lating vines, stripes, sprigs and
sprays in contrasting, yet har-
monizing colors Again,
straight satin, inch-wide stripes
cut the plain surfaces the wider
spaces filled with tiny dots,
ovals and dashes in self or con-
trasting shades
The interesting part of this
display of Evening Silks, to the
ladies, at least, is the fact that
the price range of the beautiful,
artistic materials is only $l.O0
to $500 per yard, surprising
as it may seem, and the Expo
sition Exhibit is but a sample
of what may be seen by COM
ing to our NEW SILK AND
DRESS GOODS ROOM!
With the greatly improved
additions each and every de-
partment has been enlarged
not only as to space, but in in
crease of stock; consequently,

standpoint-since the larger
our cash purchases, the better
wholesale rates we get which

OPPOSED TO THE BIG CAMP.

Park Commissioners ut Chicago Angry BE-
cause Secretary Elkins Accepted Their Offer.
Another row is on the worlds fair matters,
this time between the governing board of con-
troll at Washington, or more properly Secre-
tary of War Elkins, and the South Park COM
missioners.
The trouble grows out of an attempt to use
the meadow at Washington Park as the camp
ing ground for a model military camp at the
worlds fair.
A long while ago, before the site of the
world fair was finally settled, the South Park
board offered Washington Park as a part of the
site and the national committee accepted it,
This action stands yet. In considering plans
for an exhibit from the War Department Secre-
tary Elkins conceived the idea of establishing
a model military camp somewhere near the ex-
position grounds as part of the government
show. Prices were too high for him to lease
ground near Washington Park. SO it was de-
cided to turn over the meadow. Director Gen.
eral Davis had 1t surveyed and he Saturday
made the assignment of space to Secretary Of
War Elkins and forwarded the papers to Wash
ington. The South Park commissioners re-
fused to allow the meadow in Washington Park
to be used for that purpose and are trying to de-
feat Secretary Elkins plan.

Application was made to Magistrate Fran

Sans Leroy and Fontane on bail Responsible
bondsmen were ready to sign the papers. but
the magistrate refused even to discuss the pos
sibility of such release. He added that
nobody would be allowed to see the prisoners

Despite the fact that he was confined to his
bed Lesseps summoned to appear before
the examining magistrate He asked that the
cross of the Legion of Honor be placed on his
breast and when this had been done he rose to
have the attendants dress him. Almost i'm
mediately he sank back on the bed and became
delirious Since then he has thought that the
serving of the summons was only dream. He
is very feeble, both mentally and physically.

The Christina. Foot Rail- Game

IL has been persistently stated that the foot
ball game which is to be played in this city on
Christmas day will be between the teams of the
Y. NJ. c. A. and the ''All-washington." This Is
incorrect in 30 far as the Advantageous are
concerned. The team which will oppose the
y. VI. c. A is to be composed entirely of men,
beers of the Columbia Athletic Club. The latter
team will have the services Of number of
crack college players. but every one of them
is a member of the G. A. c. Frank Butter
worth of Yale, Phil King of Princeton, Ordway
Of LehIgh. Bergen of Princeton and Ramsey OF
Swarthmore have been members of the club
for some time.
The game should be the. best that has been
played in this city this season The public will
be anxious To see the Washington boys who
have made themselves famous all over the
country BY their work on the foot ball field this
year and the crowd present will probably sur
pass that of Thanksgiving day.

Justice Bradley has issued in the case Of John
H. CARL and George W. CARL against the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad a restraining order
against the erection of a fence by the de-
PENDANTS. The bill, filed by Mr.. w. P. William

dwellings,, fronting on 7th street northeast, and
G. W. CARL is preparing to erect brick build
ing costing $4,000 on the street They charge
that defendants are erecting a barricade of
posts four feet high and eight feet apart on
which to make fence directly in front of their
property, and if permitted to do SO they will
suffer loss, and this without right or authority
of law and in violation Of the act of Congress.
They further state that defendants have for wears
maintained an embankment in front of their
premises varying from one to seven feet in
height, and il allowed to erect the fence egress

Chesapeake and Ohio Steamsbips.

Advices from London state that all the papers
for the organization Of the Chesapeake and
Ohio Steamship Company Qimited) have been
signed and the capital has all been subscribed.
The line is in the interest of the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railroad Company. which owns a ma
Jority of the stock. Contracts have been
awarded to builders on the Clyde for the con-
struction OF six steamers. Three of them are
about the size of the new White Star steamer
Cune. The other three are about one-fifth
smaller. These steamers will make regular
weekly sailings from Newport News to England.
Mr.. Inman is the president of the Chesa peake
and Ohio railway. He says that the advantage
to the railway company of this line cannot be
overestimated. The export business from New
port News is even now more than enough for
these steamers, as well as such tramp steamers
as can be secured. Last year over 100 steam
ers were loaded by the Chesapeake and Ohio
railway from that port for Europe.

Messrs. woodward & Lothrop Sustain . Loss
of About $4,000.

Ot ABOUT &osOuO.
This m orning q few minutes after u O'Clock
some excitement was occssioned by the .>discov-
cry Of fire in the stable of Messrs. Woodward d
Lothrop, in alley in rear of d street northwest
between 9th and 10th streets There were about
twenty horses in the stable. besides delivery
wagons, harness and feed, and fear was enter
tanned for the safety of the dumb animals.
No one knows the origin of the fire. but soon
after the flames were discovered an alarm was
sounded and several of the fire companies, in
Guiding the chemical engine, responded. The
fire broke out on the second floor of the stable
and the firemen worked hard to keep the
names IN the upper part Of the build
Ing while citizens were getting out the horses
The stable was filed with smoke, and
the fire had gained such Roadway that the ad-
joining property, as well as the entire stable
and contents, was threatened. Among the citi-
zens who were first upon the scene was Mr. II.
b. Matchett, the printer who has succeeded in
doing good work at several fires, including
the fire at The STAR building and
later at Pullman's photograph gallery.
With little assistance he managed
to get the horses out in safety and they were
turned loose in the street. The fremen
worked hard and succeeded in keeping the
flames confined in the stable, the only other
damage being the scorching of the Washington
Gas Light Company's property. Nine delivery
wagons and good supply of feed were
destroyed by the flames The loss to Wood
ward Lothrop will amount to about $4,000
and to the building, which belonged to the
Russell estate, about 81 Q00
