Always
First
in the
Field!

We are coming with a pur-
chase 2, 500 strong. We place
on sale TODAY a line of
wash skirts which has never
been seen or equaled for the
price. They are made up of
the finest imported materials,
such as piques, in both fancy
and plain cords, linens, white
figured brilliantines, English
welts, and handsome Scotch
linens, both plain and fancy
trimmed, colored piques and
linens, polka spots and fancy
figures; in fact, the biggest
assortment of wash novelties
ever shown in the District of
Columbia.
We have decided to have
an early sale in order to show
our many patrons that we are
always on top before others
make a start at the bottom.
We've made two prices that
will absolutely be a surprise
toall callers. These goods to
manufacture today would
cost US in such quantities
from $1,000 to $4,000 a
dozen, but placing our orders
so very early in the season
saved US this difference, !
which is all in your favor.

The hearing Of testimony in the case O
William Sauer. whose trial for the murder
OF James Allen commenced Monday il
Criminal Court No. l. was concluded yes
terday afternoon and arguments to the
jury viii be made this morning There
was little difference in the evidence Of
! fered by the witnesses for the defence and
that Of those called 20 testify on behalf
| OF the Government The only material
! fact upon which they differed was as to
whether the defendant or Allen left Nc
| Namara's saloon first The fact that Sauer
struck the fatal blow is not denied but
it is claimed that he was quietly on his
way to his home when he was pursued by
Allen, who provoked the quarrel which re-
suited Ia his death.
The crime for which Sauer is called to
answer was committed on February u
last. near the corner Of G and Eighth
Streets southeast. at about 10 o'clock at
night The defendant is a member Of
the Marine Corps which is stationed at
the Washington Marine Barracks. With
several other marines on the night in
question he was drinking a Mcnamara
saloon, which is located near the corner
Of Eighth and G Streets southeast Ac-
cordIng TO the testimony Of several of the
witnesses who were called on behalf OF
the Government the deceased Allen, and
other civilians were also in the saloon.
Il is said that a dispute arose among
several Of the marines concerning the
merits Of battleships just before the de-
PENDANT arrived. and that Allen took part
in the argument. The controversy it was
testified ended good naturedly and all
the men drank together. It was about
this time that the defendant entered the
saloon and he TOO. was asked to join in
the drinking. He refused. and thereupon
Allen abused him I'm most vile language.
Sauer resented the abuse in kind and the
crowd became so noisy that The lights were
put out and all hands ordered out of the
saloon by the proprietor.
IL is at this point in the story that
the evidence for the defence and the prose-
Cution differs The witnesses for the Gov
eminent testified that Allen left the sa-
loon alone and had been gone nearly five
minutes when Sauer who was still in a
rage. started after him. remarking as he

The SOUTH CAROLINA BLACKBOARD.

The suggestion has been made that
the proper way to treat Senator Benia.
I1ln K. Tillman of South Carolina, is
by silence. We don't think so. A
man must be judged by the position
which he occupies in the world and by
the use he MAKES OF the opportunities
which the position gives him.
Mr.. Tillman IS a Senator in Con-
gress from one of the most historic
States in the Union, whose people
prided themselves in times past and do
so now, for their chivalry, their high
mindedness, their courage.
We are compelled to Judge this man,
blackgnard though he has shown him.
self at every point. to be a coward, by
the position which he occupies.
We are OF the opinion that we shall
best serve the cause of citizenship and
OF fair play by giving him aud his
utterances all of the publicity possible,
ON the theory that ''it you give a thief
rope enough he will always break his
neck"
Senator Tillman should be upmer-
cltully hammered in order that he NAV
continue to keep himself in evidence
before the American people as a terri
BILE example of .degeneracy in high
places.

gence, honesty and manhood of South

The c0L0RED NEWSPAPER.

There are lot Of people who read
Afro American newspapers and don't
pay for them What are we to do
with these people? Many of them are
the salt OF the earth, or claim 10 be,
and refuse to buy these papers on the
plea that 'there is nothing in 'em."
as matter of fact, If our people want
to know what our people are doing, if
they want proper defense of them
selves, If they want to impress upon
mankind at large that the race is alive
and in the fight for honest manhood
and wemanhOod to succeed, they must
hsve a strong press. and they can't
have it unless they pay for it. The
Colered American is only one of many.
We have a large number of papers,
scattered throughout the states, and a
fair and impartial estimate of their
value cannot but pay to them the trib-
ute of a splendid loyalty to race under
terrible disadvantages. If the race
have today bulwark of ipcorruptible
integrity, standing always in its place,
fighting in season and out of season for
justice and for play, it is the Afro.
American press. During our long
years of active work in journalism,
covering almsst twenty years, we have
found no more faithful and Jealous

tors OF our newspapers The peeple
