We conceive the idea of modern
storekeeping to be the supplying
the demand of our customers-the
public-for their daily wants at
the lowest prices, quality consid-
cred, and from properly assorted
stock-as to styles, sizes, general
fitness, etc. Hence we ADVERT
regularly, five days of each week,
only complete lines of fresh and
perfect goods, and reserve for one
day (Friday) our remnant day
broken lines and sizes, odds and
ends, short lengths, ETC., giving
the exact size, quantity and length
we have to sell at the prices that
you may know at glance whether
1t Will or will not meet your

weekly collection Of remnants.
Articles of use, comfort, conven-
ience and ornament for home and

DUPONT ON TELLER.
The Powdermaker's Claims in His
Second Case Before the senate.

Henry 4 DupOnt's latest departure in
his second contest for a seat in the Senate
is a charge of sharp practice against Sena-
tor Teller. In Il petition which has just
been filed with the Senate Committee on
Privileges and Elections Dupont bases his
claim to election on this alleged cir
cunstanoe
After reciting the vote by which ne was
refused a seat last May, 81 To 30, Dupont
proceeds to say that on this occasion there
was a difference of understanding in re-
gard to the vote or pair Of Senator Jones,
OF Nevada; that the announcement was
made by Senator Teller that his colleague,
wolcott, had q regular pair with Senator
Brice; that he understood that his coll
leagues pair had been transferred To Sena-
tor Jones: that he did not know how that
was done, but that he understood it had
been done, and that Wolcott, if present
would vote no Mr.. Dupont also claims
that no one knew how Jones would vote,
and he had not been properly paired.
He further says that as necessary con-
sequence the resolution reported from the
Committee on Privileges and Elections Is
still before the Senate as q question of
high constitutional ana personal privilege.

Mrs storer,s Rare Gift.

Whether Mfr. StOrer comes into office or
remains in private life, says the Pittsburg
Dispatch, Mrs. Storer will be a welcome
presence in Washington society during
the administration of Mr.. Mckinley. She
was daughter OF the late Nicholas Long
worth, the philanthropic Cincinnati mil
lionaire, and is not only beautiful W omau
but one OF fine talents as well. Her lead
ing passion, it may be said, is the molding
and decoration of pottery, and some of her
work which has from time to time been
placed on exhibition at the magnificent
artrooms of the Fischer Art Company, have
attracted widespread attention, and prove
the possession by Mrs. Storer of remarkable
talent in this department OF art; and, what
is hardly less remarkable. an industrious
devotion to the work which could not
have been greater if she were depend
ent on her own efforts for livelihood
She molds, decorates, and burns her own
pottery, and has produced enough real
works of art to stock a museum.

DISTRICT APPROPRIATIONS.

That was a hard blow that the House
Committee on Appropriations gave the
District The bill reported yesterday recon-
mends appropriation for the generalex-
penses orUne District government OF So, $780,
Sill The Commissioners estimates asked
for IS. 495,7s7 This is a cut of S2,7I4,-
$40. the only hope now is that the Sen
ate will add at least million TO the bill
and thus make it a little more useful.
1t is reasonable toexpect the Senate toin-
crease the appropriation and then hold
out in conference for the increase.
The House bill authorizes the erection Of
few new schools, but not enough; also
the appointment OF twenty additional fire
men That number will be required to
man the new engine-house in AnacoStia
alone. The increase should not have been
less than fifty. The appropriation of
5000 600 for the Metropolitan police de-
partment is too small by at least 5000, 900.
But perhaps the old supposition held good
after all, that it is not expected that the
laws are TO be enforced so very vigorously
here in the District, especially when the
lawmakers themselves are present in the
town. One of the very good features Of
the bill, however, is the appropriation OF
$4,000 to enable the Commissioners to
purchase site for hospital for sufferers
from contagious diseases.
While there is probably not citizen OF
tie District who believes that the COM
pittee has done its whole duty with the
District budget, many Of the Committeeman
profess 10 believe that the bill is as nearly
perfect as it could be made This is GER
tainly the case with Mr.. Dockery OF Mis-

lights.
He entertained the belief based on OBJ
servat:on of phenomena familiar to his
race, but sayoring of Iegerdemain in our
eyes, that really the average man hears
little and sees less of what is going on
al out him. Our conception of sound covers
only eleven octaves, while as to light,
single ethereal octave is the range of our
vision. According to Professor Bose, the
lights we see are as nothing compared
with those we might behold. He has sue
ceeded in constructin piece of mechanism
closely resembling the human brain in
physical action. BY use of it he has been
able to detect and to develop these sights
and sounds. He has made the lights to
penetrate the densest and darkest objects.
His apparatus has made it possible to flash
signals through any sort of non-conducting
material without abating a fraction of the
force of the invisible electric light waves.
BY means of it bells can be rung and
canons fired thousands of feet away, with
no intermediate connection save the at

Nfessor Bose to England to lay his dis
