APATRIoTIC DISPLAY.
Pleasing Scene Mt the United States
Shoe store Yesterday.

Shoe store Yesterday.
Thousands of American flags decorated
the interior of the United States Shoe
Store, No. go Street northwest, yester-
day at its formal opening.
c. p Herring, the manager, believes in
patriotism and he has arranged that each
shoe box in the store contain hand
somely colored American flag.
Mr.. Herring, who has been in the shoe
business for many years, has leased the
building and proposes to conduct a store
that will be noted not only for its pa
triotic prices, but also its patriotic
quality. He believes that patriotism can
best be shown by giving the purchaser
full value for the money, and accordingly
has fitted his establishment with all the
latest makes and styles in tans and
patent feathers. He has also glove calf,
box calf, and vici kid. OF course, he has
different grades of foot covering, but the
prices are all regulated in proportion.
The building yesterday presented a.
pretty appearance. Electric fans were in
operation and palms added TO the cool
appearance of the interior. Mr.. Herring
was on hand to receive his many friends
and was assisted by W. H. Keneaster,
who for several years has been connected
with Washington shoe houses. Besides
the decorations of palms, easy chairs and
rich electric lights added TO the beauty
of the place, while a well-htted shoe
polishing corner was fitted up where
United States shoes will be polished free
of charge.

New Warden VIII BE Named by the
Supreme Justices Today.
There was a great deal of speculation in
and around the City Hall yesterday as to
who would ee chosen successor TO Warden
Leonard. who died suddenly on last Satur-
day evening. The question OF the appoint
ment was considered at a conference of
the justices Of the supreme court yester-
day during the recess hour, but the result
was not announced. Chief Justice Bing-
ham stated, however, that a successor TO
Mr.. Leonard would be named this morn
ing.
The position Of warden of the District
Jail is one not despised by anyone who is
willing to live on United States pie and
es a consequence there are great many
aspirants for the place. Among those
mentioned for the wardenship are Col.
SnOWden Deputy Marshals John T. Won
BiueREe. Edward Ransden Gen S. S. Yo-
der, Capt. Russ, the present assistant
warden; Deputy James Springman and
AtT. James N Dayitt. These, with many
Others. viii anxiousiy await the decision
Of the justices Of the supreme court, who
viii make q nomination TO fiji The vacancy.
The fact that the execution Of Strothers
and Smith is fixed for tomorrow adds adj
dit5onaI interest to the appointment Of
the successor TO Warden Leonard. i has
been intimated that IN the event Of the
appointment not being made today the
hanging would Of necessity be postponed.
This opinion, however, IS not held by Dis
trict Attorney Davis, who said that In
the absence Of the warden. no matter for
what reason, the next in authority Is en-
powered TO act.

TO THE WHITE HOUSE.
Detective BOYD Ordered TO Assume
New Duties.


Detective George w. Boyd. who was re-
ieved from duty at the request of In
spector Mattingly, has been assigned to
the White House. His place as headquar-
ters' detective will be flied by Everett
L. Philips. who for several months has
been clerk to the inspector.
Mr.. Philips is from Missouri and was
for some time chief of the House pages
at the Capitol.
1t is a matter of much surprise and
comment in police circles that Detective
Boyd should have been selected by In
spector Mattingly for transfer from de-
tective duty. His record az an officer has
been Of the best and he has made many
important captures of noted crooks. The
most recent OF these were his apprehen-
sion of John Dever. alias, Dempsey. who
was wan.ed in Boston, and the arrest OF
Stephen Hall for the robbing of Com
mander Wainwright's house.
Commissioner Wight stated to a Times
reporter yesterday that the change was
made for no other reason than that ii
was Inspector Mattingly's desire.

Salvation Army tent at Camp Alger this
evening. The services, which are con-
Quoted every night, except Monday, will
commence at 1880 o'clock. DR.. Duncan
will be accompanied by several good
singers from among his church members,
and, with the hearty singing of the SOL
diers, and the interesting, lively talk by
DR.. Duncan, an unusually good time is
expected. All soldiers are heartily in
vited to be present. The Salvation Army
meetings at the camp continue to be well
attended. Major Edith Marshall and her
singing aide de camp, Capt. Hattie Core,
have been holding meetings there for over
three weeks and the attention and hearty
singing of the soldiers show that they
enjoy the services. Many members of the
different regiments take part in the SER
vices, both in speaking and singing. En-
sign McDouall, Of New York, has been
sent to assist in the work.

BIG BICYCLE RACES.
Middle Distance Events to BE Con
tested in the Near Future.

The next three weeks viii give a line upon the
Iniddle-distance championship, and the middle
distance possibilities that are likely TO develop
will have much bearing upon the future OF the
many prominent riders engaged in this branch
of the sport.
Next Friday Major Taylor meets Eddie Nc
Duffie in a thirtyrnile paced contest at Charles
River Park The following day Tom Linton
meets McDufie in a thirty-mile at Man
haitian Beach. The following Saturday Tom Lin
ton and Fred. Titus To meet in their second
ffteen-mile race. On the same evening Plugger
Bill Martin meets Harry Elkss in a ffty-mile
paced match race, at Charles River PARK.
On July / Jimmy Michael, the champion, will
inaugurate his season with contest AT Montreal.
and on July he will meet his old time rival,
Eddie McDufie, in hfteen-mile match at Charles
River On July Tom Linton is scheduled TO met
Michael in match at bridgeport This arrange
ment bars the second race scheduled for that
day between Linton and Edouard Taylore at
Willow Grove.
All of these matches will give a line the
championship Major Taylor must meet Eddie
McDufie and Friday, the worst Of all days
for a colored rider. Providing Taylor wins, he
will probably be continued in the middle dis
tances. Should he lose he may be given another
chance and, losing that. be retired to the sprint
ing distances, where many would like to see him
placed permanently. Taylor has made wonder
full record this season in sprint distances, for
he has been mounted invariably upon a strange
wheel, ill-ftted for him and heavy. His own
mount is still absent, or was few days ago.
McDuffe's victory in this contest would send him
against Jimmy Michael, an undefeated man this
season, and would give him greater confidence.
McDuffie always stumbling block to Michael,
whose two most sensational races in this country
have been contested with the Bostonian.
Defeat for Michael in his contest with NeDufie
would much to him at the outset of his
seasons work, and reports from Waltham state
that the midget never trained harder in his life
than at the present time He rs nicely located
at the Riverside House in Waltham within easy
access of the track. Michael has his pacing team
all gathered now, and after all has gained a
crack team, il reports be true.
When Tom Linton meets Edouard Taylore next
Saturday there will be much bad blood between
the riders not apparent the surface, but which
is carried over from last season. Taylore is one
of the very few in Europe who has never
suffered defeat at the hands of Linton. Taylore
beat Linton in the great of Paris last sea-
son, defeating FIVE other riders, including Bou-
rotte, here, at the same time. Linton was
not satisfied, and demanded another race, which
was given him. and in which he was again de-
feated by Taylore. His third defeat, if it
comes about in this contest, will fill Lnton's cup
of woe to overdowing, as coupled with the
defeat by Titus, it will lower his star consid-
erably in this country and in Europe where he
is rated very high.
