left to The judgment ct each city govern
ment Such appropriations should be
scrutinizcd carefully, especially This year
when we have So unusually large eSpendi-

money enough tu run it without crippliag

can be made, think, without permanent
injury Nn Injuries but necessities should
be the motto.

Fire Department.

There have been an unusual number q
fires during the past year, the number OF
alarms up to March being %. The tota1
damage from these fires was $l2 $50
which was entirely covered by insurance
There has been no total loss by fire. This
speaks well for the faithfulness and eff
aiency Of our fire department, and ven
ture to say that there is no city in tht
State which has a better equipped or more
efficient service than we.
The steamer Cobbossee was repaired at
an expense of sl400 and placed in excel
lent condition. There need be no expendi-
ture upon any apparatus for the city the
present year
The alarm whistle placed at the Oak
lands is of great advantage and with night
communication with the telephone system
has, i'll several instances, undoubtedly
saved a great deal Of property, especially
at the Evans house and also at the Oak
lands. That money was we'll expended.
The appropriation for the fire depart
ment has been somewhat overdrawn, ow
ing to the large number of alarms, and
also to the expense of Carnival week.
Some needful expenditures were made at
that time upon the apparatus to put it In
presentable as well as efficient condition.
The parade on Firemen day during Carni-
val week was one creditable to the city
and one of which our people have q right
to be proud / refer you to Chief Enginee.

STYLISH
COATS
AND CAPES.

It's just as we have said be-
fore-the reputation we made
last season for selling the most
stylish wraps and suits at the
lowest prices is bearing us a
rich harvest now.
There isn't person who comes
to this department who is not
loud in their praises of our stock,
and we are certain from what
they tell us and from what we
see ourselves our prices for equal
goodness are about Is per cent
less than others.
We have set out to get a tre-
mendously large coat and cape
business, and we shall get it,
because we shall deserve it.
Look about-the more the bet
ter for us-then give us half
chance and we shall show you
how much We can save you on
your winters wrap-and how
much more stylish it will be.

most delightful affair throughout and
marked tue opening of the reception sea
son.

rubber plants being the background OF an
artistic color scheme in chry santhcmuns.
The two dra wing rooms Were in pink and

corresponding in color with the flowers
used in each apartment, were beautifully
arranged and ADDED greatly TO the effect.
The hostess OF The evening received her
guests in a gown OF black satin and net.
She was assisted IN this pleasant duty by
Mrs. Harding, wife of the rector OF st.
Paurs ChUrcn. Mrs. HuXford, and Mrs.

MEs. Satterlee was very handsomely
gowned in black lace over back silk, while
her handsome Young daughter Wore go Sn

Mrs. McKim, Archdeacon Childs and Mrs
Childs, Rev. and Mrs. a spinwall. Rev. and
Mrs. Ward, Rev. Mr.. davenport, Revs
Turner, Mott, and Dudley, and Dr. and Mrs.

tablis,Ied a monastery al Westminster Md,
was one oil the notable out of town guests.
There were less than one hundred cards
of invitation issued, SO that there were
very few guests oatside the clergy and

Satterlee should have decided upon this as
his church, when st. Johns has SO long he'll
the proud title of the banner Episcopal
church Of the city. Why he should have
taken comparatively humble church, when
both st. Johns and Epiphany would have
been proud of the honor, it is said, is not
clear to the minds Of many interested ones.
ITS EFFECT ON ST MARKS.
The Benefits that are to accrue to the
lucky parish arc only to be surmsed 1t is
not hard to contemplate the new influx of
members that will immediately trend
toward st. Marks.
Bishop Satterce, it is also stated, will
deliver his first sermon from the new pulpit
next Sunday morning. 1t will be his first
public appearance since his trip to Europe
and his return to Washington. He has

st. Marks was not the only church con-
tending for the honor of having the
bishop Of Washington as rector. 1t is
an open secret that Trinity has cherished
the hope thdt he might assume charge of
