PRINTING OF SPEECHES.
How the First Page of the Record is
Secured.

The effort that is constantly being made
to secure the printing of speeches on the
front page Of the Congressional Record Is
not generally understood. Senators and rep
resentatives naturally desire to have their
delverances in Congress receive as much
attention as possible and there is but one
publication in which they can monopolize
the front page in display of their speeches
That one publication Is the Record. OF
course speeches that are printed in reg
ular order in the debate, appearing on the
day after they are delivered, are to be found
only in their regular place in the Record.
But in the cases of speeches withheld for
revision there Is an opportunity to have
them displayed on the first page of the off,
cial report of the proceedings. This is
merely done by an arrangement between
the Senate and House, by which this priv
ilege is about equally divided Senators and
representatives who withhold their remarks
for revision frequently inquire when they
can have the first page of the Record, which
is generally reserved for at least a week
ahead. The general rule Is, First come,
first served In this way those who want to
make their speeches influential will at times
arrange to have them on the first page of the
record on the morning of day when a
vote is to be taken, in order that they may
be brought prominently to the attention OF
their Neutrality-suspicious. just before they are
to take action on the matters on which they
treat. II is in the nature of judicious adj

Ten-one F, cor. 10th, entire bldg

No doubt it is as amusing
to YOU as it is to us-tO look
at the footwear which some
other shoe stores persist in
calling PROPER" We
do not know what their
standard of correctness" is,
we only know that our
standard are the fashions
which the particular dressers
of New York and Philadel-
phia have decreed correct
the productions of leading
footwear designers. The
same styles are here-those
same shoes, not limitations of
them. No other shoe store
in this city can get them, be-
cause we control the out
put for Washington-have
iron-bound contracts with
these makers which prevent
them from selling others.
Everything of any conse-
quence is initiated, and so
are these styles. AS long as
they cannot get them they
must find makers who will
make shoes which appear
like them, but the careful
dresser can see the difference
at once-there's scarcely any
need to call Your attention to
them.
limitations are not restrict
ed to our styles-our "adver-
Using thunder" is purloined;
our ways of doing and say
ing things are adopted, and
while not copyrighted,
wouldn't you suppose that
they'd have a delicacy in
apeing us. Even so, we are
not worried-we're amazed
because we're flattered, for
you know imitation is the
slncerest hatterv.
Particular dressers will
come to us for their New
Years footwear, because
nine-tenths of them are pa
irons of this store and be-
cause they KNOW that ours
are the proper" fashions.
Special attention is called
to the extensiveness of the
stock and the variety of re-
ception and evening foot
wear. The entire second
floor of this building is de-
voted to the selling and dis
play. 1t is a most COM
prehenslve showing. because
every novelty is to be seen
here on which fashionables
have set their seal of ap-
proval. Every shade in satin
and kid-every shade in vel
vet-trimmed patent leather
slippers. And such a variety
of exquisite buckles you've
never laid eyes on.

speak of the mems footwear.

memory for England. Depressing gloom.
In thorough harmony with the weather. set
tied over the country. The coasts were
strewn with wrecks, commerce was out OF
joint and the public was bitterly digesting
the criticism of the British army. The de-
mand for Major General Sir Henry E. Col
ville's resignation, thrown as a sop, only
served to whet the rayenous appetites OF
those who are bowling for the RESPONSE
bllity of the reverses in South Africa be-
ing brought home to individuals. More
heads are demanded. Where SO many must
be blamable 1t Is felt that the selection OF
General Colville is wofully inadequate, II
not unfair. Indeed, it is already said that
had not the yeomanry force at Lindley,
which Colvile failed to relieve, included
some of the nobility and other influential
persons Colville would never have been re-
called. The bitterness felt by these yeo-
many at being compelled to surrender be-
cause, as they allege, Coville refused to
render the aid within his power, has never
died out. and it will probably result in one
of the most interesting courts-martial In
the annals of the British army. upon the
result of which will depend the fate Of
several other high officers who have proved
UNEQUAL to the occasion.
