four large floors and a basement, three of
which are devoted to selling, it meets thor
oughly the needs of the particular trade
which this firm enjoys. The basement
which extends beneath the sidewalk is
almost double the width of the rest of the
building. Here is located the mems depart
ment, where Is. sold mems street and even
ing shoes, riding, hunting, surveying and
sporting footwear, as well rubber goods.
The main floor is devoted to the selling
of ladies' street shoes and Oxford shooting
boots, golf and sporting footwear, while on
the second floor is sold ladies' evening and
reception and carriage footwear and now
elites for which the Richs are famous
Footwear for children is to be found on
the third floor. and on the fourth is located
the stock room, mail order and receiving
departments. A modern electric elevator
makes access to any floor quick and easy.
OF particular mention in connection with
this new store are the decorations and fur
nishings of each floor, which are as elabo-
rate as 1t is possible to procure.
Six years ago nearly all the finest foot
wear worn in this city was purchased in
New York and Philadelphia. Shoe stores
were conservative and did not care to buy
largely of novelties. and because they didn't
show them everybody sent out of town.
And just here is one of the secrets of
Rich's marvellous growth. They realized
the situation. and since, by showing the
same footwear as sold by the shops of the
large cities and by a judicious use of adj
Vertising, they have succeeded in securing
the trade of the discriminating people who
before could not be satisfied in this city
The move to larger and finer quarters has
been their ambition for a long time. and
their opportunity came when Mr. Bond of
Boston purchased this property from Mr..
John r. Mclean and offered to put up a
building according to the ideas of this firm.

FEAST OBSERVED,
Vhe immaculate Conception Theme OF
DiscOurse bN Rev. Russell.

The patronal feast of the Catholic Uni
Virsity falls on the sth of December, and
Is observed as a general holiday. Pontifi-
ca mass was celebrated this year by Right
Rev P. ]. DonahUe. d. D., bishop of
Wheeling, w Va, Rev. John F. Griffin
OF Boston. Mass, was the assistant
priest. and the deacon and subdea-
con of the mass were Rev. Martin O'Don-
aghue of Baltimore and Rev. John A Ryan
OF St. Paul Rev. T. 2. O'Keefe of Santa
Fe and Rev James p. Sheridan of New
York were masters Of ceremonies. At the
conclusion of the mass Rev. William T
Russell Of the Cathedra' Baltimore. an S
T. l. of the University of 81, preached the
sermon As the occasion was an academic
one the professors wore the robes the col
ors of which signify the degrees in the
ology. philosophy and law, respectively.
Father Russell said in part:
blessed are the clean in heart for they
shall see God -
with all its efforts and pretenses: with
Its many-sided philosophy and aesthetic
mora ity, its colossal monuments and re-
fined tastes: with all its impressive cere-
monies and multiplied sacrifices, how made
quately, how dinly did paganism represent
God Sublime as the Jewish idea of God
was, the conception was darkly shaded by
the predominance of the terrible over the

lovable. 1t was only in a later epoch of
Jewish history that the idea of Gods love
develops ard grows. To some of these peo-
pie God seems ever to have been a God of
pOwer-knd, indeed, and mercifu, to those
who served Him faithfully; terrible and
full of vengeance toward those who dared
to disobey, but, whether softened by mercy
or hardened by revenge, the attributes of
power predominated in Israers Jehovah
towards man God manifestS q Spe, al
love. He has elevated him above the con-
d1tion, the knowledge and aspirations of
mere nature to participation of divine
good. He has given to man, as the object
or HIS love, nothing less than hmsef-the
eternal good He has made him His
adopted son, heir to an imperishable king
dom and brother Of Jesus Christ. Nothing
further can be desired than himself"
Rev. Dr. Pace lectured in the afternoon
on the Concept of Immortality" This lee
ture drew .arge audience of Students
professors and outside public and was
listened to with great attention. The lee
ture was an outline of the concept of i'm
ity found in the teaching of st.
Thomas Aquinas. In its present relation
to the organism, the soul is a principle of
self-activity, of coordination, of unity and
Identity 1t Is the source both of the mental
life and of the bodily life. Death is the
lapslng OF the material structure from
union with the soul and its consequent dis
solution The surviving sou, preserves its
powers of intellect and will, and with these
Its individuality. Neither transmigration of
souls. nor absorption into the being of God
is admitted by st. Thomas. The existence
Of the soul. though in some respects imper-
feet, is distinct and personal.

INVESTIGATION MADE.
Inspection of johnson School Build
ing by District officials.

Capt. Gaillard, the assistant of the Dis
trtct Engineer Commissioner, the superin-
tendent Of sewers, Mr.. Ball, and Prof.
Hird, the District chemist, today visited
the johnson public school at Mt. Pleasant
which building is alleged by the people of
Mt. Pleasant and Columbia Heights to be
in an insanitary condition. Their visit was
made for the purpose of investigating the
charge and to otherwise examine the
school premises. A very complete examina-
ton of the working of the Smead system
OF heating and ventilating employed at the
school was made. with an thermometer and
other appliances. the result being, as Capt.
Gaillard reported this afternoon to Captain
Beach, Engineer Commissioner, that the
system was found to work perfectly, no
back draughts being discovered and no
odorS being detected.
The vault used in connection with the
dry closets was cleaned and fumigated. as
was the school building. Capt. Gaillard re-
ported that sidewalks should be laid on
the approaches to the school, and it is also
understood that he will recommend that
as funds can be obtained from Congress
for placing sewer-connected closets in the
school or in the school yard. Upon inves-
ugatlng the complaint that there is an I'M
covered well on the school premises 1t was
found that the well had been filled up to
within a foot or two of the surface. 1t
will be entirely filed up today. and 1t is
probable that board walks will be laid by
the Commissioners in order to allow the
children attending, the school to avoid the
mud n and water resulting in bad weather
me walls of the ptayrooms were found, as
charged; to be quite damp, and it is under
stood that the Commissioners will take
every step possible to remedy this evil
That the apprehension of the people Of
the vicinity may be aIlayed the Commits
sioners state tina txwhi9 the Smead system
of heating and venfilattng will be employed
In the public SCHOOL, now being erected on
Kenyon street. Columbia Heights, no dry
closets will be permitted. Sewer connec-
tions will be made and the heating and
Ventiiating aeeomstishsa by means of fans.

Il see that Mr.. Br'iiA says the associa-
ton is dead and buried" remarked Presi-
dent Quin of the American Association in
Milwaukee yesterday. well, you can just
tell his royal highness that the association
will prove to be the livliest corpse he ever
tackled before this thing Is ended.
''The issue is not dead. and John T.
Brush will have his hands full taking care
of the National League and obeying the
commands of his master, Andrew Freedman
l have no doubt that Mr.. Freedman will
get the entire territory of New York as
result of his kick to the league. and the
result will be to reduce the circuit to eight
clubs. That will come sure.
we are not worrying at present, as we
have seven cities safe now, and Will take
our time about getting the eighth. There
Is possibility that Pittsburg may be con-
sidered, although nothing has been done
in that direction yet. We are going ahead
just the same, and will allow the National
League to do the guessing"
