A LANDMARK AT AUCTION.
SnIe This Afternoon of the National
Bank of the Republic Building.

What will be virtually the closing Incl
dent in the liquidation of the National
Bank of the Republic will be the sale at
auction at o'clock today by Duncanson
Bros. of the bank real estate at the south
west corner of 9TH and d streets north
west. The property consists of parts of
sublots 8 and TO- in square 49, and fronts
q feet ) inches on It'll street and 100 feet
on d street. The building is four stories
in height above deep basement and occu-
pies the entire lot, an eight-foot alley
bounding it in the rear. In the bank state
ments for several years past the property
has been declared at $4,000, and the tit
tings of the bank. consisting of improved
safes, vaults, marble counters and other
fxings, at $4,000.
1t is understood that the sum of 100000
cash was offered for the property a few
days ago, but was refused.
The building was erected in 1865 on the
foundations of the old Patriotic Bank,
which had occupied the corner up to that
time. For purposes of a store or similar
establishment the building would have to
be remodeled throughout, if not entirely re-
built. The lot upon which it stands COM

by real estate brokers and owners of prop

experience at playing the game. and his
chances for making the position are some

DAY OF ATONEMENT.
Observance of the Occasion by WASH
inEton Hebrew Congregation.


Extensive preparations are being made by
Rabbi Stern of the Washington Hebrew
Congregation and DIR. George W. Walter,
organist, for the services to take place the
Day Of Atonement. These will be held at
the First Congregational Church, begin
ming the evening of October and eontin-
uing the following day.
1t is expected that the music will not
only be of the usual high order, but much
of it has, it is said, never before been sung
by any choir in Washington. Rehearsals
to enable the members of the choir to be-
come proficient i'm their several parts have
been already begun.
The Day of Atonement, which is regarded
as comprising the twenty-four hours fol-
lowing sunset of October ), is observed as
permitting any food to pass his lips. The
day is generally spent in the synagogues
in prayer. The main feature is the me-
mortal service for the dead. and consists
titions to God for the repose of the de-
parted.
In connection with this service is the
custom of making offerings for the benefit
of the synagogues. Each individual pres
-ent steps to the pulpit and tells the reader
1.-The names of deceased relatives, at the
same time handing him card, upon which
he has written the amount h. proposes to
contribute The reader. who, in Washing
ton and most other cities, is the rabbi of
the congregation, prays aloud in behalf of
the dead, mentioning each one by NAME
and stating the amount of the offering.
Three times during the afternoon services
of the Day of Atonement the ark con-
tanning the scroll of the law, is opened and
the following is sung: I'VE bend the knee
bow down and do homage before the King
of Kings the Most Holy; blessed be He
The concluding observance is the blowing
of one blast of the rams horn. while the
whole congregation exclaims: The Lord is
Cod"
All business among Hebrews will be s,ls-
pended while the services of the Day of
Atonement continue.

Police Court.
The youngest defendant that ever figured
in a Police Court proceeding in the Dis
trict of Columbia was arraigned today by
the clerk. The tiniest bit of humanity i'm
aginable was carried to the front when
Marjorie Moore was called, and Marjorie
did not seem TO care what disposition
might be made of her case.
Marjorie Moore read the clerk, cit Is
charged that you, being a child under six
teen years of age, to wit. three months,
are destitute Of a suitable home and ade-
quate means of earning an honest living"
Frances Day, who had Marjorie in
charge, explained that several weeks ago
an unknown woman left the child with her,
promising to pay 81 a week for its board
and keep. The woman had failed to reap
pear and the supposition was that the
mother had abandoned the baby
Without further ado, Judge Kimball COM
mitted Marjorie to the care of the board of
children's guardians.

AN INNOVATION.
4 Church Fair III Oklahoma-Every
thing "Perfectly Square,"

thing Perfectly Square,"
Brethren and sisters said the Rev.
Jack Jonks, the well-known Oklahoma
divine, relates the New York World,
Il am requested to nnoun that the
ladies of the church will give a fair
and festival at Tilligan's hall next
Thursday evening, to which everybody
is invited. l will further say that
everything will be square and above
board on that occasion. I have been
moved to insist upon this innovation
because of the numerous kicks which
nave been registered since the last
event Of this character. Certain OF the
brethren, especially those who have but
recently become members of the church
and have not yet forgotten their world
ly wisdom, have been complaining that
there was no reciprocity in the various
catch-penny devices and games or
chance at the last festival, and they
are emphatic in their proclamation
that, while they do not object to run
ming up against any legitimate hazard
for the good of the cause, they decline
to participate in any more lead-pipe
cinches. I will therefore add that at
the coming festival the grab-bag, fish
pond, weisAing-machine and kindred
devices fer replenishing the treasury
will be under the direct supervision OF
Curly Conroy, the gentlemanly and ac-
complisie3 dealer of faro at the Blue
Ruin fortune parlors. In kindly agree
ing to superintend these devices, Mr..
Conroy pledges his professional honor
that every visitor who puts down his
scads will at least have some show fo1
his money, and that his part OF tie
evenings entertainment will be con-
Quoted in the same unprecedented and
impartial way that characterizes his
work at the Blue Ruin. The usual COL
lection will now be taken"

Fashion is responsible for any

ornate eastern styles, none of which is

relgns. Today it is prima vera and
curly birch; six months from now it
may be black walnut and cherry again.
Some fashions are bizarre and ugly,
many more artistic and altogether
charming; for instance, brass bed
steads are snowy and dazzling and lron.

The size and uses of a room must de-

workmanship is always beautiful when
appropriately used. Let Use be the

is both suitable and good: of the needs
of the room and the sum you can af-

good workmanship every time to cheap
decorations. If you must econcmizc

Rome, at the beginning of the four
teenth century: although this is mere
conjecture. The building condemned
TO demolition still stood, in it's shabby
old age, frequented by peasants, when
l last saw it, but it was entirely unno-
ticed by the hundreds of thousands or
tourists who passed it on their way to
and from ST. Peters. It's massive
vaults and fine old columns were once
the delight of the artists. And Lord
Herbert of Cherbury mentions it fond

Montague kept a journal Of his adj
ventures in and his impressions OF
Rome during his stay here in the
winter of 15SO-S1. He regretted that
nothing was left Of ancient Rome but
the sky above it and the outline OF its
form, but he was delighted with its
climate and it's society, and he con-
fessed that he never breathed air more
temperate or better suited to his con-
stitution. This latter, it may be re-
marked, could not have been written
truthfully during many of the winte
months of the last few years.
Montaigne arrived in Rome on the
30th of November, 1880, and went to
the Bear, where he stayed that day Il
the next, but on the I'd of December
he hired apartments at the house OF a
Spaniard opposite the Church OF St.
Lucia della Tinta, where he was pro-
vided with three handsome bedrooms,
a dining room, a closet, stable and
kitchen, for 20 crowns a month, the
landlord including in that sum a cook
and tire for the Kitchen. He mad an
audience with; the pope, saw the eXecu-
ton of Catena, a famous robber, and
captain of banditti, which he called "a
spectacle" and he found the winter
nearly as cold as that OF Gascony. His
account of one Of the many sights he
saw is worth quoting in full: O
Easter eve," he said, II went to see,
at St. John Lateran, the heads Of St.
Paul and St. Peter, which are exhibited
there on that day. The heads are en-
tire, with the hair, flesh, color and
beard as if they still lived. St. Peter
has a long face, with a brilliant com
plexion, approaching the sanguine

mitre on his head. st. Paul is of dark
complexion, with a broader and fuller
face, a. large head and a thick gray
beard
