STYLES IN SHOES.
Some of the Fashions i'm Footwear
Enumerated by an Expert.

An individual doesn't have to go to a shoe
store to ascertain whether the styles in
footwear change or not. His own expert
ence reaching back over only a limited
period, tells him that they do change, and
change radically. This season, however,
there is such bewildering variety Of
new things in shoes displayed in the store
wiz dows that one must, perforce, hunt up
an authority If he wants to get posted on
what's what for the neither ends of men
and women. A Star reporter in such
dilemma stopped in at B. Rich & Co.'S place,
at No. 1902 street, today and conversed
with Mr.. Rich on the subject
"Styies in shces," echoed Mr.. Rich, when
the reporter Intercepted him, there are
as many as the leaves of Vallambrosa. The
newest thing in the feminine line is the
new woman's shoe 1t is built on last
fashioned after mans, and has mans
heel on a smaller scale. With corduroy
tops, this style will be worn exclusively by
fashionables. I believe. By the way. the
society ladies are giving up bicycles and
taking to more exclusive horseback again.
l suppose that wheeling has become too
general to suit them. The reason say this
is because l have received several orders
from well-known ladies for riding boots in
the past few days.
You know, there is great difference be-
tween bicycle and riding boots. Enameled
leather will be the proper thing for mems
walking shoes. and, of course, patent leath-
er will hold its place for evening wear
For daily use when hard weather comes
shoes made CT colts leather will be IA
vored. The leather is without pores and
absolutely impervious to moisture. Heavy
stitching on the edge of the soles of mems
Shoes which was so fashionable twenty
years ago, is coming in again, and the col
lege men will have nothing else. Here is
an English shoe of which I have sold a
good many"
Mr.. Rich held up a dark brownish-red
leatf er shoe, with blunt toe and a gen.
orally ugly shape. The reporter remarked
on this quality it possessed so abundantly
'It may be all that" he responded, with
a SMILE "but it is the kind worn by the
Prince of Wales, and that is enough to
make it favored

EXCURSIONS.

Those who contemplate taking trips south
for the winter would do well, before max
ing final arrangements, to consult the Nor
folk and Washington Steamboat Company
as to rates, accommodations, etc., for the
trip to Norfolk There is no more pleasant
way to be found than to start a tour
through the south with trip to Norfolk
down the historic Potomac and through
Chesapeake bay, and there make rail con-
nections, or steamer if preferred, with any
point to the south and southwest. The
steamers on this line are magnfficently fit
ted up, and every effort is being made by
the company to care for passengers in the
best manner possible. The three boats,
Norfolk, Washington and Newport News,
leave each evening at O'Clock arriving at
Portsmouth at 8 the next morning and
Norfolk at 7:30 the next morning.
The fast flying steamer Saml. ]. Pentz
will leave tomorrow at 9:45 am. for Chapel
Point on the last trip of the season to that
beautiful spot. The PentZ will stop at Alex
andria at 1915, returning to Washington
about 10 pm. giving three hours at Chapel
Point. AS the tickets for the round trip are
but % cents, Capt. Randall expects a good
many of his patrons to take advantage Of
this delightful fall excursion.
The boats will leave at IL am. and $50
Ap.m. tomorrow for Marshall Hall. The
|&rowds which are loath to stop going to
the pretty resort seem to warrant the late
season, and the place will be kept open as
long as the public desires. The Manchester
will be called into service tomorrow, leav
ing at the time mentioned, and returning
from Marshall Hall at l and pm.
The oyster roasts, which will be given
every Sunday in october and November are
being eagerly looked for by the devotees
of the bivalve and it is expected that they
will prove to de very popular.

WORK OF THE "Y'S."
Closing Session of the District w. T.
C. U. Convention.

Closing Session of the District w. T.
C. U. Convention.
The convention of the District w. C. T. U.
at Foundry Church came to an end last
evening. The closing session was given
ever to the young women's branch Of the
union, and music was rendered by the ''Y'
choir, which sang most effectively, under
the leadership of Prof. Fountain.
The principal business Of the meeting was
Mrs. s. d. LaFetra's report of the young
women's branch, which was read by Mrs.
Clayton f. Emig, secretary of the branch.
The report gave in detail the work Of va
rious chapters of the branch, called "Y's"
The West End "Y'' was organized during
the year. and has done consider
able coed work among the mes
seDger boys and has made frequent
contributions to the sick under It's
jurisdiction. The Crusaders "Y" of the
Metropolitan Church was organized during
the year, and it also has done much work
among the messenger boys and the hos
pitfalls. The Vermont Avenue "Y," the old
est and largest "Y'' in the city, was reported
as having done work among the boys by
going to their meeting rooms and enter
tanning them in the evening to encourage
their coming to their club. The young ladies'
of this ''Y' have made banners for the boys,
donated 200 books to their club library and
contributed some money to them.

THE LABOR ORGANIZATIONS.
But Little Business Transacted mt Any
of Last Nights Meetings.

nut Little BUSINESS transacted mt Any
of Last Nights Meetings.
Eut little business was transacted at the
meetings of any Of the labor organizat tons
last night.
Reports were submitted to Local Union
&C. Electrical Workers, showing that Wash
inSton continues far in the lead as the
choice of the unions throughout the coun-
try as the place of meeting of the coming
national convention. It was also arnounc-
ed that delegate and alternate to that
body will lie chosen at the meeting of the
union Friday next.
Mr.. George Niles was elected an honorary
member. A special committee was an
nourced who will call on all firms in the
city doing electrical work ard ask them
to employ union hands only.
The Bricklayers' Union discussed the
conclusion as to whether it will be neces-
time in order to have the law made more
effective. Three new members were obi
gated and several applications for mem
bership we're received.
The Washington branch of the National
Alliance of Stage Employees appointed a
committee to inquire into the expediency
of indorsing the labor bureau and work
ingmen's library.
The Journeymen House Painters deter
mined to fine any of their members who
shall be found smoking non-union cigars
Three applications for membership were re-
ceived ard one member was obligated.

LOST HER WATCH.
But an Honest Printer Boy Restored
1t to Her.

AS James Brown of The Stars stereo-
tipping room went across 18th street Thurs
Gay to get some lunch a bright object on
the pavement caught his eye. Picking it up
he found it was a unique little hemisphere
watch. the outer part of the half globe set
with fifteen or twenty chip diamonds and
as many pears. Half an hour later lady
was seen searching along the sidewalk as
If for something she had lost. A Star en-
plcye spoke 10 her, and asked If she had
lost anything, when she said she mad in
some way dropped her watch, or half of it
rather Word was sent to young Brown,
and the lady showed him a small jeweled
hemisphere similar to that he had found,
except that on his was the dial, and on
Eers was a miniature portrait of prom
inent Washing tonian. Brown showed the
counterpart of her half watch, and with
pretty little scream of delight the lady
once more had her timepiece in her hand.
She screwed the two hemspheres together,
and, opening her purse, gave the young
man a smile and a $40 bill, both of which
he still carries, though not in the same
place.

formed by the influence of this club into
what is often the most profitable part Of
the day.
Yet 1t must not be imagined that Wash
ington's business men have fallen into the
bad habit, in this way, of making their
eating too subordinate a part of the daily
routine of life, For have they made of the
luncheon too serious a function. This mis-
take has been made before, and its perpe-
traitors have afterward, in the pangs Of
Indigestion, sorely paid the penalty. There
is no suggestion of this horrible monster
at the Down Town Club.
There is no lightnng-lke boiling of food,
no injudicious choice of materials that can
not possibly be assimiated by the human
system, none of the gastronomic haste and
temer1ty that are supposed to be charac-
teristics of the American. All is quiet, leis-
urely and cheerful. Lunches are served in
courses, and this of itself takes time.
Some wise man has said that he who would
be happy must il. eating consume time as
we'll as food. and many a sufferer has too
late realized the sagacity of this remark.
One especially noticeable feature of the
club life at the top of the Loan and Trust

TO STUDY AMERICAN METHODS.
A Hindu Teacher of Deaf Mutes Comes
to Washington.

Nath Benerji, principal of the Calcutta,
India, School for the Deaf. is expected to
arrive in this city today to begin course
of study at the Gallaudet College Kendall
Green, in which he has been given schol-
arsf.ip. He attended the Normal School for
the Oral Instruction of the Deaf at London
during the past year, and is DESTROYS of
studying the methods of teaching employed
in the United States. He attended the
cent congress of workers among the deaf
held at Belfast, Ireland. and delivered there
an address upon the condition of things in
Ir dia in regard to the education of those
thus sorely afflicted, indicating deplorable
lack of facilities for elevating the deaf
mutes of that great nation. He estimated
the population of deaf mutes at about 200,
600, and said that there are but two schools
for their education in all India. About
twenty-five boys are now being educated at
Bombay, and~twenty pupils, all but two
boys, at the Calcutta school. In his speech
al Belfast Principal Benerji severely crit-
cised the attitude of the British government
in regard to these institutions, which are
supported almost entirely by private char

A story of Mystery.

Do you know what "Story of Mystery"
is? 1t is continued story, of which all but
the last chapter is printed, and then guesses
are made as to the solution, then the final
ir stallment is printed.
Early in October most interesting
mystery story, when the War Was Over"
will be started in The Star, and five hundred
dollars will be given for the first absolutely
correct solution. In case no guess is abso-
lutely correct the amount will be divided
among those nearest to a correct solution
The guesses will be confined to women read
ers. Fuller particulars later.

ity. The Bombay school is allowed a
monthly grant of about s25, which
does not pay house rent. Deaf mutes are
treated with very little consideration in
H.ndustan, being regarded as Affections and
visitations of the higher powers upon the
families to which they belong. The women
are kept in such seclusion under all con-
ditions that it is practically impossible to
obtain correct census of the deaf mutes
and there is no certainty how many afflicted
women there are.
