DRY GOODS.
DRY GOODS.
A WORD ABOUT LADIES
SILK
v aiISty.

A fact that you are perhaps
not aware of. Do you know
that we are manufacturers OF
these goods ? True it is that
we have one of the largest
shirt waist factories in this
country.a Our plant is in Phil
adelphia. We employ a large
force of hands and supply the
representative houses of the
country with our product.
Therefore does it not appear
reasonable that Our prices must
be right and below competi-
ton? You do not pay the
middleman's profit. You are
buying direct from the manu-
facturer and paying only a
small advance above first cost.
Our goods are all made over
LIVING MODELS by expert hands
and a fit is guaranteed. The
workmanship is unexcelled. In
consequence Of these facts we
are warranted in asserting that
we can sell you a waist COM
plete at the price you pay for
the material alone. Don't be-
lieve us ; come in and convince
yourselves.
The leader is the one at
$500. 1t would not be high at
So in fact that is the regular
price. Made out of changea-
Bile Taffete Silk. 1t contains 5
yards. The retail price of the
silk is 75c per yard. An i'm
mense variety Of others Of
equal good values. We wont
attempt to describe them it
would not do them justice; you
would not understand; you
must see them for yourselves.
We have plenty Of the new
very popular Linen Chime
settes SO extensively worn.
All styles, all grades, all
prices. Your attention is in

FIRE ALARM.-About II o'clock this
morning little girl in one ofthe rooms
in Peabody building, after drinking
some water, threw what remained in
the cup into the stove. A slight puff
of steam and smoke followed and some
of the children became frightened and
cried. Instantly an alarm of fire was
sounded and many of the children ran
from the building into the street before
the teacher could quiet them. No one
was much hurt and the excitement was
soon allayed, but in the meantime the
fire department had responded and st
tracted crowd to the vicinity of the

THE MOUNT VERNON RAILWAY
The commissioners of the District of
Columbia Yesterday ordered that per-
nit be issued to the Washington, AL
exandria and Mount Vernon Railway
Company for excavating for the con-
struction of their underground electric
railway. Certain conditions have been
made regarding the issuance of the per-
nit. which are in the usual form and to
which the company must subscribe be-
fore The permit will be given into its
possession. The route of this part of
the line will be on Fourteenth street
from the Long bridge to f street north
west, thence to Thirteenth-and-a-half
street, in 3 street northwest, from
Thilteen:h-and-a. street to Four
teenth street. Should the company fail
TO complete the entire road, as provided
in the charter, by August /, 1896, the
track shall be removed within thirty
DAYS by the company and the street
pavement restored TO its proper con-
dition, or the required deposit of :, 900
NAV be used by the District for this
work if not done by the company. II
is generally understood the purpose OF
the company is 20 connect the road
with double end ferry steamer at the
foot of Fourteenth street, provisions in
the charter being made for the con-
struction of q slip and other necessary
plaut there. The road will then run
along the eastern shore of Virginia
certain distance, make turn 10 the
right. and run up around the Theology
cal Seminary, thence east again TO
Shutters Hill. 1t was stated yesterday
that an arrangement was being made
with the Pennsylvania Railroad by
which the road may cross the
Long bridge, and this will obviate
the necessity of the operation of a ferry
system.

collected by the over Jealous action of
worker. The voting being by ballot

The ceremony was performed by Rev.

ants we're Master Robert and Miss
NJaud Downham, brother and sister of
the room. The bride was attired
in a lovely gown of white silk and the
Groom wore the conventional evening

ception was held at the hospitable and
handsome residence of ex-Msyor Down
ham. on Washington street, where a
yery large number of the friends of the
bride aud groom gathered to extend
congratulations and wish them happy

handsomest was magnificent box of

THE ST. AsAPH TRACK.-The Nir-
GINA Jockey Club has decided 10 re-
nounce allegiance to the Jockey Club
upon the expiration of its present Ii
cense, on May IA, and race six days a
week, with foreign book and third
place betting, under the protection of
the Western Turf Congress, until it en-
larses its track to mile and is admit
ted to actual membership in that organ
izatiop. There was another meeting
Yesterday of those who believe they
control the club by virtue of owning a
majority of the stock, and this was the
policy agreed upon. The work OF ex-
tending the track will be begun at once
by enlarging the turn toward the Sta
bles. The gentlemen who met yester.
day state that the present officers will
be at liberty to retain their positions II
they desire to, but, as nearly all of
them will have other engagements by
the middle of May, there will no doubt
be complete change.
A Washington paper says the latest
policy announced by one faction of the
St. Asaph management is absurd, even
for so erratic an organization as the
Virginia Jockey Club. They would be
exceedingly fortunate to be able to
make expenses racing three days a
week during the summer. The luxury
of an opposition meeting will cost them
about ST 900 week. So far they have
not notified the Old Dominion people
of their intention to violate the agree
ment entered into last January.
