FASHION REIGNS AT
THE KINGS PALACE
Store Was Crowded Yesterday and the
Greatest Interest Taken in Ex-
quisite Stock Displayed.

A great gathering of the followers OF
the fashions was had yesterday at
Kings Palace, SO, S12, and S14s Sev-
enth Street, and lis Market Space. The
occasion was the preliminary fall open
ing of the large store, which has re-
Gently been stocked with one of the
greatest arrays of millinery, dress
goods, and tailor modes ever seen in
the local market. The ladies of the
city commenced arriving early, and
throughout the day crowds and groups
were engrossed in every department
with the creations of the season. Dur
ing the morning hours the weather
was unfavorable. but at no time during
the day was there a lack of admiring
visitors.
The windows of the Seventh Street
palace compelled the attention of all.
The show window is the largest single
millinery exhibition in the city and the
finest of the new shapes and styles have
been placed in artistic groups.
The hats for the season are marvels
of beauty, in design. coloring and trim
ming Among the notable hats of the
year from Paris are the productions of
Leroy, De Rebner, Camille Rogers,
Maurice and Virot. The American hats
are OF the finest, and some of the most
admired were made in the workrooms
of Kings Palace.
The window displays were the work of
the most skilled decorators, and this
exhibit is fitting and eloquent index
of the vast collection of things beau
tiful in the several departments.
IN tailor-made goods for women's
wear the Kings Palace has selected
startling array of fine values in great
variety. The garments this year are
characterized by elegance and integ-
rity OF make rather than for fiashy col

opening was one of the best ever seen
in any city. on display were 2ibelines.

and received due notice. The King $
Palace is one OF the recognized empor-
iums for all that is distinctively good
and fashionable. and the many 1lttle
accessories of fine dressing are kept
with full regard to taste and timelihess.

out bright and early yesterday morning
to begin another year at school. 1t
was a day looked forward to by children
of Washington with mingled joy and
sorrow. The opening of the schools,
while regarded by pupils as happy
event. is none the less the beginning of
years toll.
BY S:45 o'clock yesterday morning the
streets In the resident sections of the
city were thronged with children, all
on their way to school. Boys and girls
were trudging along the streets by twos,
threes. fours, and larger groups, spick
and span in new clean clothes. They
were a laughing. noisy army. with never
thought of care, and apparently vel
coming the change from the freedom
of summers vacations.
Prof. A. T. Stuart. Superintendent of
Public Schools, estimated last night that
there had been an increase of about 800
in the first days enrolment of pupils
throughout the District over that of
last year While the exact figures

Kent Talked.

Svmpathy-verbal and substantial
with the striking miners of Pennsyi-
vauia was expressed by large number
OF people In mass meeting at the Typo
graphical Temple last night. Deep IN
terest in the proceedings was manifested
by the people present, comprising good
representation of the friends of organ
lied labor, including many ladies. There
was not great deal OF speechmaking,
and an earnest purpose to help the
miners now and in the future was clearly
evident.
President John Hamerstrom, of the
Central Labor Union, presided. Messrs.
N. H. Baker and John B. Dickman were
the secretaries. The list of vice presi-
dents embraced the leading officers OF the
labor organizations of the city. Music
was furnished by the National Guard
Orchestra, under the direction of Mr..
John n. Pistosio.
The speakers of the evening were Mr..
Sampel Gompers. president Of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor and DR.. Alex
ander Kent, pastor of the People S
Church. President John Mitchell, Of the
Mine Workers Union, had been invited,
but he could not attend. and sent the fol-
lowing telegram: Regret that situation
In coal fields makes 1t impossible to at
tend or send representative"
Mr.. Gompers spoke mainly of the his
tory of the struggle of the miners, giving
a brief history of the organizations to
which the striking miners belong.
Advocates Public Ownership.
Rev. DR.. Kent made an impassioned
speech, in which he took the ground
that public ownership was the remedy
for the trouble. He denied that the
Government had right to let any set
of men have control of the vast coal
fields. which belong to the people. He
said that the time would come when the
people would take charge of the coal
fields.
A substantial collection in aid of the
strikers was taken. 1t was announced
that committee would call on the peo-
pie of the city for contributions for this
purpose.
Other mass meetings are to be held
at the Typographical Temple. The next
will be held on Monday night.
Resolutions expressing sympathy with
the striking miners were adopted by
unanimous vote.
