BRADDOCK's ROCK.
Colonial Danes to Give 1t ApprOpri-
ate Inscription.

1t is the intention Of the Society of the
Colonial Danes to place upon the stone
known as Braddock's Rock, some time in
the fall. an appropriate Inscription. This
will be made the occasion of a gathering,
and program of exercises, including ad-
dresses, will be carried out. AS is well
known. tradition assigns this rock as the
place where a detachment of troops, form
ing the Braddock command, landed. on the
way to Fort Du Quesne, now Pittsburg, III
the year 1855. 1t was formerly on the
river shore, but since the reclamation Of
the Potomac flats the waters edge is now
some distance to the west
The rock Is close to the walls surround
ing the old naval observatory grounds, and
recently, through the efforts Of the Society
of Colonial Danes and the cooperation of
Mr.. Charles c. Glover, president of Riggs
National Bank, 1t was inclosed with an
iron fence. which was a portion of that
which was in front of the old building on
Pennsylvania avenue near 18th street oc-
cupying the site of the new building that
is being erected for the use OF Riggs Bank.
The attention of the Society Of Colonial
Danes was called to this spot by the care

THE LATEST EFFECTS
Marked Advance in Mems Shirt
Waist Ideas.
CREATIONS OF SILK AND RIBBONS
The Pace Being Set at the District
Building.
HOW 1T WAS STARTED

1t was hot today; there is no doubt Of that
was only equaled by the same rays being
thrown up again by the concrete streets
The atmosphere was so torrid that ordinary
citizens travelling around, arrayed in coats,
felt so hot and looked so hot that even the
dray horses wept for mere pity. The heat
however, was mere plaything in size to
the feeling Of admiration or indignation
felt, according to the makeup of the citi-
zen, at the sudden advances made in the
shirt-waist fashion as worn by men.
The no coat idea has evidently taken a
firm grip on large portion of the mascu-
line population of the District, and although
1t had gone under cover during the past
cool days it appeared again today with re-
neWed force and many new adherents In
cidentally there were also many new colors
and many new designs.
1t is charged by good many people that
the center of the shirt waist idea is at the
District building, and that Mr. Francis Nye.
Mr.. Hopewell Darneille and Mr. Charles G.
rogers are the pace settlers for the fashion
IN this city. If this IS so, the pace they
have set in the mo coat movement" is an
extremely rapid one to judge from the
daily hint from the District building, as
furnished by The Stars fashion artist this
morning. The three leaders, it will be
seen. are shown in very fetching effects in
Walst1ngs making costumes cool, chic and
at the same time business like. Mr.. Nye's
DAINTY ngure showed to great advantage in
blue effect, set off with dainty ruff1es

The number Of banks reported to the con-
troller on June So 1899, was 1853, as
against 3,T32 on June % last, showing an
increase of 149 banks since the former date.

mainder consisting of United States bonds
and cash held by the banks.

the force in his office in two ways. First,
he appeared there a few minutes before y
o'clock, and, secondly, he appeared without
his coat and arrayed in costume the like
OF which no other assessor of this or any
other municipality, II is contended. ever
appeared in. The assessor is. like his two
friends, of fine physique, and this physique
was shown to the very best advantage in
trousers Of a soft gray stun, supported by
belt of the most polished leather. while
above all this was a shirt of such a hue as
is only dreamed of. Just what its color
was no one knew, and no one has yet been
able to describe. 1t is claimed that but one
or Its kind was ever manufactured, the
story being that its maker was so delighted
with his creation that he destroyed imme-
diately after its production all the plans
and specifications
The big policeman at the door. never
drea ming of what he was doing endeay-
ored to prevent Mr.. Darneille from entering
his own quarters. and when he was smil-
1ngly informed that the man he was en-
deavoring TO stop was no other than the
assessor himself, the officer could only
gasp an apology, and at once applied to
Major Sylvester for a leave of absence
While, as some impatient citizens claim,
the assessors force is slow in making out
tax bills. his force was not slow in appre-
ciating the fetching effect of their chiefs
costume. and, forming in line, they made
their way to his desk, according to senior
ity, of course, to pay their respects and Of
fer their congratulations. as well as to as
sure him that he had them beat.
Them of course, meant the disbursing
officer and the private secretary above mem
toned. but whether he had them beat
turned out to be another story. Mr. Rogers
was the next to make his appearance and
that appearance gave him the middle of the
stage at once. A silver buckled belt of the
hue Titan loved to paint was about his
waist, and from that point upward his man.
ly form was clothed in a creation of alter
mating pleats of the most delicate shades of
violet and pink. The disbursing office force
stopped paying off to worship the most
sought-after Cat certain periods of the
month, at leasD of District officials. Then
the disbursing officers contingent, every
man. woman and child of it, with one accord
and thought, raised their voices and sang,
and the song they sang was It's All over
Now"
But there was another Richmond in the
field, and soon he appeared. His shirt was
a striped affair. the stripes being alternat-
Ing ones of white and red. White cuffs
and collar he wore; his belt was of the
purest white, and a tie of blue dotted silk,
with white stars. rested beneath his strong.
smooth face. Making his way quickly
through the rapidly increasing throng of
citizens and District officials and employees
the democratic Commissioners confidential
secretary passed to the elevator and then
to the room of his chief. There he found,

Inc objects of their visits Immediately
were forgotten, and every soul of them at
once sald: Il may get nothing from the
commissioner. but l have lived to see that

the Commissioner himself appeared, no one
stirred to catch his ear, but sat enrap-
tured by the beautifully adorned younp
man before them.
This Is how the shirt waist proposition
was introduced into the District building,
ana TINS Is how 1t was settled once for
an so Tar as the officials and employees of
the municipality are concerned in the af-
hrmatve. Since then the fashion idea has
advanced and we have what We have
