FASHION ROBBING NATURE "a
Impression Conveyed Upon Visitors IL
Kings Palace Opening.

Kings Palace Opening.
Fashion, like nature, dons her freshest
and most attractive garb in the gentle
spring season, and this year the goddess
which femininity worship with such adrent
devotion, has apparently robbed nature of
all her brightest colors and most attractive
hues. At any rate the spring opening at
Kings Palace now in progress conveys this
impression, and the great crowds of fair
devotees, who crowd the shrine, attest to
the popularity of the establishment The
display Of bonnets, hats, toques in the lat
est styles, fresh from Paris and the capitals
European is artistic; there is a hot house
effect in the profuse collection of flowers
while the fabrics destined for spring wear
and the ribbons and other furbelows to trim
them include all that is best and stylish as
well as serviceable. The decorations of the
store are noticeably artistic, particularly
so being the display in the 7th street win

Central Union Mission.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Workers Union of the Central Union Mis-
sion was held last evening. The reports
received for the work Of the past month
were of the most gratifying character,
showing the attendance at the regular week
night services at the main building was
fully up to the standard, while the num-
Der of inquirers and professed conversions
was in excess of former years for the
summer months. Another statement was
made that the number of city pastors who
had spoken from the gospel wagon during
the month was greater than any previous
month in the history Of the mission and a
large number of others had readily accept
ed Invitations for future dates.
y delegation Of city mission workers from
Indianapolis, who had been in the city for
several days examining the methods en-
ployed by the mission, was present and it's
members expressed satisfaction with what
they had seen, and said that they would
take back q number of good ideas which
would be helpful in what was being done
in their own city.

The ram only has been sufficiently effec

that there is moon addition splendor will
be lent to to Wooded Island and to the
lights along the shore AS frequently as
1t IS deemed practicable changes are made
in the set pieces, as well as in the general
illuminaticns on the lake and island, so
that those going there from time to time
ind many new features to delight the eye.
Besides "specialties" are introduced from
time to time to amuse the patrons of this
enchanting spot. So that, considering no
admission Zee is charged, nowhere will be
found so many and such diversified attrac-
lions OF Il high Older as at Chevy Chase
lake. It's model family resort where
one can go and spend a delightful evening

HAND STREET SWEEPING
Superintendent stutler Explains Why Con-
tractors Have Not Been Paid.
Voucher Held Up Because Workmen
Had Not Been Paid and to Pro-
tect the District.

Mr.. Jere NJ. Wilson. representing Messrs.
Daggett & Dugan, who hold n contract
with the District for cleaning certain
streets and avenues by the hand system,
has called the attention of Commissioner
Ross, who has immediate supervision of the
matter, to the fact that the employees of
the STRENGTHENING contractor had not been
paid because the customary semi-monthIy
Payment had not been made to the con-
tractor. There Is no provision IN the con-
tract for sen1i-monthly payment, and Mr.
Warner Stutler, the superintendent of the
STRENGTHENING department, has submitted
to Mr.. Ross the following report in the
matter:
due Messrs Daggett & Dugan for work
performed under their contracts from July
L to 10, inclusive. is about s., $50, exclusive
of about $3S6 deductions for bad work AMI
failure to comply with the specifications
The reason that l refused to issue voucher
on the 18th was on account of the con-
tractors not having paid their men the
Sth instant. as was customary Also to
protect the District against loss in the event
that the contractors failed to do the work.
This is in keeping with the following pro-
vision:
Contractors will punctually pay the
workmen who shall be employed by them
upon the work under their contract, in cash
current, at a rate not less than one dollar
and twenty-five cents (S1.25) per day of
eight tS( hours, and will. from time to time
and as often as may be required by the
Commissioners of the District of Columbia,
furnish to said Commissioners satisfactory
evidence that all persons who have done
work or furnished materials have been paid
as herein required. If such evidence IS not
furnished such sum or sums may be nee
essary for such payments may, in the dis
erection of the said Commissioners, be re-
tanned until such claims shall be fully sat
isfed. -
AS was exclusively stated in The Star
Monday last, Mr.. Stutler has reported to
the Commissioners that the work done by
Messrs. Daggett & Dugan has not been sat
1sfactOrily performed. In this report Mr..
Stutler recommended that the contractors
be required to show cause why the contract
with them should not be suspended and the
work performed by others This recon-
mendation, it is understood, Commissioners
Ross and Wight have approved and the
papers are now before Captain Beach, the
Engineer Commissioner. Captain Beach, it
IS believed, will concur with his associates
in the matter
