Republican policy had compelled his
firm to establish linen factory In this
country. The plant begun ut Pasaic,
New Jersey, had continued to increase
Its capacity and the firm had no reason
to be dissatisfied with the American
venture. Mr.. Carter sees no climatic
reason why linen cannot be produced In
this country as well as elsewhere. He
speaks well OF Mr., fancy, United States

The Scare ut the Peabody School

There were twenty-eight cases of diph-
liberia on the books of the health depart
ment last week. There are no new cases
at the Peabody School, where there was a
scare last week. SO far as the health officer
knows, although the parents of many of
the pupils are not yet over their fright. The
attendance in some of the rooms is very
poor, because parents are afraid of taking
any risk with their children. The fumiga-
ton of two rooms In which there had been
cases Of the disease has not had the effect
of satisfying all the parents. and many of
them are still anxious that the entire build
ing should befumigated and aired Books
taken from the two rooms and fumigate ed
have been returned to the building. 1t is
thought the committees of the Northeast
w Washington Citizens Association will visit
the school tomorrow and make retjort
upon the conditions as they ind them. In
addition to the five cases reported. there
are children absent from school for other
reasons. and yesterday Il was r,itoored
that there were two new cases. but there
seemed to be no foundation for the irunnor

"lf they're Rich's
shoes they're proper"
Ten-tWo r Street,

This is the shoe store of the
period and it's the only one in
this city. Few shoe men compre-
bend the shoe business as the
people of today want it done.
Fewer get the proper shoes.
We must have the right idea,
, because we are getting the trade
OF particular people splendidly-
} because we have the same ideas
as the leading shoe men in New
York and sell same shoes.
And selling the same shoes as
they sell is big convenience to
, those who not long ago sent to
New York for their footwear.
, We have gotten an extraordi-
nary run on our young ladies'
college" shoes. There never
has been footwear so well adapt
ed to just such wear. We've
named the different STYLES after
the leading local colleges, such
} as Funston" the Norwood"
the MT. Vernon" the Vista
; ton the Washington" the
High School" the "Nassar" and
the "Wellesley-all shown in a
variety of feathers and shapes.
But our greatest speciality
; on which we have built up a
reputation and a trade second to
5 none-is the supplying of even
) ing footwear, No matter what
you want - patent feathers,
bronze, satin, kid or suede-we
J have it, and whenever YOU want
something out of the usual-a
! shade of satin slippers which we
haven't in stock-we have them
made to order, which requires
but a few DAYS.
The fitting of children's, bows
and girls feet is a very important
5 matter. The usual shoe dealer
turns them over to their "ap-
: prentice boys-and the poor
little feet suffer for it. We real
: lie the necessity of giving them
our best attention-make a study
s of their needs-ft their feet
! properly-with shoes. best for
5 them.
For wet and cold weather
! wear we have a line of ladies'
: shoes at $3.4S which have no

BASKET BALL.
The Season Opened With Two Well
Played Games.

The Season Opened With Two Well
Played Games.
The season of the District Basket Ball
League opened last evening at the club
house of the Washington Athletic Club,
with a game between the team of that
club and the Washington Light Infantry
team. the latter winning by the score of
to 3. 1t was a good game, full of fine
plays and free from the reughness which
characterized the games of last year. In goal
throwing the Light Infantry boys excelled
noticeably, several throws to the basket
being made from some distance out of
the floor. Shreeve succeeded in making
four goals for the visiting team, and Hough
three, while the goals for the w. A. G..
team were made by Sanderson and Brink
ley. The umpire Of the game was X. j..
Beall, jr, c. A. c., while Fred Weisbader,
E. A. c., officiated referee and scorer.
Three tifteen-minute innings were played.
The basket ball teams Of the Carroll In
stitute and the Queer Wheelmen lined up
against each other last evening at Car
roll Institute Hall. the Queers being de-
feated by the score Of to 0. The game
was a pretty one and with clean playing
was very interesting to a number OF spec
tators. Berberich succeeded in making SIX
of the nine goals for the winning team.

leaders of each OF these conferences were
present and made brief reports of the con-
ferences under their charge. giving the mem
bers of the executive committee the bene-
fit Of the suggestions made at the meetings
and of new methods that had been tried
in some societies with success. Mr.. Her
man c. Metcalf reported the proceedings
of the good citizenship and temperance
committees conference and Miss Grace

for the social committee conference and
urged that the motto Social to Save" be

SOUTHERN FOoT BALL CHAMPIONS.
C0lumbias to Play the Hampton
Eleven for the Title Saturday.

COlumbias to Play the Hampton
Eleven for the Title Saturday.
The foot ball game Saturday between the
Columbia Athletic Club and the Hampton
team promises to be unusually interesting
from the fact that 1t will virtually decide
the championship of the south. The local
boys have a much stronger team than the
general public is perhaps aware of. while
the strength of the visiting club is we'll
known. This club recently defeated the
University of North Carolina by the score
of Is to 0, and the eleven Of the University
of Virginia was beaten by the score of to
0. These are the two strongest teams in
the south, barring the team of army Off
GERS at Fort Monroe, and this team has
c. A. c. boys were defeated by the same
team by the score of 10 to 0. While this Is
the first time the Hamptons beat the local
boys this year, they succeeded in giving
dose of the same medicine last year, and at
the game Saturday the local boys will en-
deavor to wipe out two defeats.
There is really a wheel within a wheel In
the game. The Fort Monroe team believe
that the local boys will administer de-
feat to the visitors Saturday. and are max
Ing arrangements to come up and witness
the game. They are not at all friendly to
the Hamptons, who have defeated them.
and nothing would please the army men
better than to see the Hampton Athletic
Club eleven vanquished. The club was not
defeated last year, and has not been SO far
this year, and they have been playing two
games a week since the opening of the sea-
son. The local boys will put out their
strongest men. Should they win. they will
claim the southern championship, and will
be ready to meet any club in the south for
the honor. .
