Our Cloak and Suit Department has
been doubled in capacity, in size, and bust
ness is following in like proportion
This department now occupies entire
second floor on Market street front. Good
ventilation and perfect light, broad aisles,
comfortable fitting rooms, polite attendants
all the little things which tend together
to help you in your shopping. Prices are
extremely cloee-as close as the high char
aeter Of our goods admits, and every gar
ment, high or low price, carries with it
our guarantee.
Tailor-made Suits, Cloaks, Jackets,
Oapes, Fur Garments, Separate Skirts and
Waists.
Charming models all of them. This
first showing holds out to you peculiar
interest, because not single garment but
bears somewhere, either in cut or trim or
general effect, some distinctive touch that
Stamps it far beyond the ordinary.
Description lacks the power to convey
the sense of elegance, ofrichness to be found
in the choice fabrics, handsome Innings and
perfect tailoring; see them tomorrow,
Wednesday and Thursday; you will bear
willing witness to all we claim.

A NARROW ESCAPE

TWO PEOPLE RESCUED FROM A
BURNING BUILDING IN SOUTH
WILMINGTON YESTERDAY.
During a fire in a house at the foot
Of Buttonwood street, South Whining
ton, early yesterday morning, William
Vincent and Lizzie Blockson, both col
ored, narrowly escaped suffocation.
About $50 o'clock Officer Thurman
noticed smoke issuing from the build
ing and sent in an alarm from box No.
AZ, Heald and Lobdell streets, and upon
the arrival of the district engines the
house was in blaze. Above the noise
Of the cracking flames woman's
scream was heard and the firemen at
once ran into the burning building and
rescued a man and woman, who were
almost overcome by smoke.
The house, and the one adjoining,
which was unoccupied, being of frame,
were quickly destroyed, together with
the contents. The origin of the fire is
not known. Loss about 800.

THE HORNS OF "A DILEMMA.


The Regular Republican nominees
for members OF the State Senate and
House of Representatives are now IN
receipt OF the Union Republican letter
of inquiry as 10 whether or not they
will pledge themselves to go into eau
Gus and abide by its results, and the
public is speculating as to what answer
they will give.
Some believe that, In order to assure
themselves Of the support OF the Ad-
dicks following, they win answer in the
affirmative but we do not share I'M
that belief We are of the opinion
that, with possibly one exception, the
candidates will answer in the negative
or else not answer at all.
In such an event it remains to be
seen whether the Addlcksites viii line
up to their threat to place legislative
candidates OF their own in the field.
It would not be surprising II they were
to do such thing for the defeat which
they suffered in this county; the open
defiance Of the Regular Republicans OF
Kent county, and the precarious char
acter of the peace patched up in Sussex
county have placed them in desperate
situation from which they will find 1t
difficult to extricate themselves.
When their committee meets on We'd
nesday to receive answers froU those
interrogated it will be confronted by a
serious question and one necessitating
a quick solution. If they place a sep
arate legislative ticket in the field in
this county the Regular Republicans
will be prompt TO retahate in Kent and
Sussex. and 50 the Addicksltes will
find themselves on the horns Of di-
lemma which seemed out Of the Ques-
tion few weeks ago.

Enthusiasm marked the progress of
the Democratic mass meeting held in
this city on Saturday evening. Re-
publican newspapers and politicians
who had been endeavoring to sow seeds
OF discord must have been much cha
grined to have such an emphatic pub
lie demonstration of the futillty of their
efforte. The meeting will bear good
fruit, and it's effect will be especially
manifest on the next registration day,
which is October %.

Lafayette was Americas powerful and

contribution by Delawareans of their

monument. More than a century mas
elapsed since Lafayette performed the
services which are held in such CRATE

in mind that it has been part OF the

Big fires are expensive, but they
teach valuable lessons regarding the
character Of buildings to be erected in
congested portions of populous COM
munities and the extravaganza OF econ
omy which gives niggard support to
fire departments. The rapid spread OF
the flames in Atlantic City on Saturday
was due to the indammable materials
from which the buildings Within the
fire area were constructed, and the In
adequacy of the apparatus at hand for
promptly meeting and coping with such
an emergency. The time is coming
wh,n the building ordinances of the
large seaside resorts will have to be as
rigid in provision and enforcement as
those of inland cities, and the fire COM
panies as numerous and as well equip
ped. There will be some profit derived
from the calamity if the public men o.
Atlantic City are as wide-awake al
those OF other communities which hav'
suffered similar visitatiOns.
