We are coming with a pur-
chase 2, 500 strong. We place
on sale tomorrow 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
to all callers. These goods to
manufacture today would
cost us in such quantities
from $1,000 to $1,000 a
dozen, but placing our orders
so very early in the season
saved US this difference,
which is all in your favor.

THE MARVELS WE HAVE
WROUGHT IN ONE HUN
DRED YEARS.
By George b. WaIdrOm, IN May
Number Ladies' Home Journal

There were but 3,500,000 peo
pie in America when this century
opened. France had five times as
many people; Germany, and even
Austria, had four times Americas
population; Italy had three times
as many, and so had Great Bri-
tain. Even Spain had double our
number of people, and little Por-
tugal was almost our rival in
numbers.
We have more people now than
any European nation except Rus.
sia, which alone leads us. We
have as many people as live in
all Great Britain and France now
combined. We have one half more
people than Germany. We have,
practically, 75,OOO,OOO people in
the United States, and 100000
more in our new possessions.
There were only five large cities
in America in 1900. Philadelphia,
with $4,000, was the largest, the
seat of government. and the cen
ire of wealth and culture. New
York was next, with 10000. Bal
timore was third, with 26,5OO;
Boston fourth, $4,000, and Char
lesion, South Carolina, fifth, with
10000 people.
Chicago was unheard of in 1900
The century was three years old
before the Government even built
a fort where Chicago now stands
and it was not until thirty years
later that a city was thought OF
and incorporated.
There was no Western city. The
mighty, modern cities of st. Paul,
Minneapolis, Omaha, Denver and
Kansas Citywas unheard of. There
was only a small trading post at
st. Louis. That was all. The Pacific
Coast had two or three missions
under Spanish control. All the
rest of the West was given over
to Indians and wild beasts.
In what are Illinois, Ind, Mich.
igan and in Wisconsin now there

and, even in 1851, kerosene was very
expensive, costing sixty cents a gal
lon.
There was no such thing as q match.
The flint and steel of the old family
musket was the means OF kindling a
nre; or live coal was brought from a
nelghb0r's, sometimes many miles dis
tant. When the friction match came.
in 1927, people were afraid of it and
would not have it in the house. To-
day wein America alone use over l25,-
OOO,OOO,OOO matches each year.
The cooking-stove was unknown.
The cooking was done in the fireplace
in pots and kettles standing on long,
slender legs well above the Goals. The
old brick oven was fired once a week
TO almost blazing heat and filled with
appetizing dishes.
Table lien was made by the house
wife, and it was beautiful. China and
silverwear were lacking. The pewter
spoons and steel knives and forks were
choice heirlooms and highly priced.
Handmade wooden trenchers, plat
ters, bowls and noggins comprised
most of the tableware in use a hundred
years ago. On the frontiers meals were
often eaten off chips freshly cut from
the forest trees.
Garments were spun by hand, every
mem ber Of the family doing a part.
There were a few cotton-s spinniDg
mills in operation, but the spinning
jenny, the carding machine anu tho
loom with flying shuttle were almost
unknown in America. The century
was thirteen years old before the
power loom was set up-at Waltbam,
Massachusetts.
A woman could spin from dawn to
dark from forty to sixty knots of yarn.
Now, with modern machinery, one op-
erative can spin 10000 knots in the
same time.

of it will concentrate here in time
to take the $50 train on the 29th.
Others to whom, Spartan burg will
be more convenient to reach are
expected to assemble in that city
and join the party which will
reach that city from Columb bia.
Both trains will be scheduled to

In time for breakf st.
There will be ample sleeping

sire such accommodations, but
all who want to avail themselves
Of them should send in their mott.
fication to Col. Caldwell at once.

spread over that whole territory.
The Far West" was then Ken
lucky, Ohio and Western New

was practically wilderness. Now
100000 people live within the
area that belonged to our nation
in 1900.
The United States is larger now
than all Europe in point of area. 1t

fourteenth of the land surface Of
the entire globe. In 1900 we had
just $4,000 square miles.
We are the richest nation on
the globe. To-day our wealth is
estimated at over $100,00O,OO0,.
600; in 1900 it was $2,00O,OO0,.
600. A man worth 100000 was
then considered abnormally rich;
to-day We have several hundred
men who are worth $3,00O,0OO OF
more.
Uncle Sam spends each year
on his government, $550,000,00C
not including the extra outlay
occasioned by our late war and
the new accession Of territory. In

years he now spends more than the
