HOW the butter Wa, pecorated.

Mrs. Blank, who Keeps summer
boarders, had bought her butter for
some months of a neighbor named
Jones, living not far distant, says
Lippincott's Magazine. The butter was
made into pretty little half-pound pats
and so peculiarly marked and orna-
mented that one day, when little Sally
Jones had brought the butter as usual.
Mrs. Blank said to her in the presence
of several of the boarders:
How does your mother make all of
these strange marks on the butter.
Sally?"
"Oh, she does that with her false
teeth, ma'am," was the frank and par
alyzing reply.

Shirts for Visitors.

Whatever might have been said
against the Venetians, they were
hospitable people-this, too, in
small as well as in great matters.
When, for example, in 1476, an am
bassador from the khan of Tartary
visited the city and it was known that
the khan and his suite carried but
one shirt apiece in their bags, the SEN
ate formally voted twenty ducats that
they might be provided with addi-
tional shirts, which were accordingly
made "alla tartarescha" and present
ed. We can imagine how the good
councillors and citizens would enjoy
this kindly little jest.

EARLY FALL SELLING.
Big Demand for Mems Clothing Of the
Better Sort


The Star man who dropped IN to see Mr.
D. J. Kaufman, proprietor Of the Mans
Store, at 1OO5-7 Pennsylvania avenue, caught
glimpse Of the prosperity which is visit
ing Washington this season. Every clerk
had customer. and as soon as Mr.. Kauf-
man was at leisure The Star man remarked,
You seem to be busy"
"Busyl Yes" said Mr.. Kaufman, I'VE are
busy and getting buster every day. This is
the way we've been going since the begin
ming Of September
What are the prospects for business this
winter2"
They were never better. We expect to
double the business transacted last year. We
find an extraordinary demand for the better
kinds Of clothing, which is bought by many
men who are used to patronizing the high
class tailors. They find our ready-to-wear
suits, topcoats and overcoats the equal in
mt, style and finish of the custom tailored
garments of double the price. Another ad-
vantage In our favor Is that they have the
privilege Of trying the garment before pur-
chasing"
You make a speciality Of mems clothing,
do you not?"
Yes. this is the Mans Store of Wash
1ngton; and our success shows that the men
of washington appreciate an establishment
that caters exclusively and entirely to their
wants. We are now celebrating our fifth
anniversary in business, with birthday an
niversary sale-an idea which We originated
In Washington. We have no souvenirs to
give away, but are making our customers
presents of dollars and cents saved on hon
est merchandise. Everything in the house is
specially priced for this sale, which contin-
ues for the next few days"
Are men hard to please?"
I'VE think not. All man expects IS to
get what he is looking for and his moneys
worth. We never expect man to buy I'M
less he is pleased, and after purchasing,
should he be dissatisfied, we are always
ready to stand by our motto, Moneys
worth or money back"

Improvements at Mayer Bros. & Co. IS

The rapid strides made by Mayer Bros. &
Co.'S establishment speak volumes for the
favor it has gained. Only few years ago
the lower floor of one building was sufficient
to carry on the business. Shortly after
ward the lower floor of the next building
was added, and then the L. that took in
the back of adjoining building. The de-
mands for room last season eliminated in
plans to occupy as sales rooms all the floors
of both buildings. The work has Just been
completed and general invitation is ex-
tended to the public to become acquainted
with the stores greater facilities.
The plans of the new house call for the
enlargement of various departments, some
of them being Increased to nearly three
times their former size, with, Of course, q
consequent increase of stock and varieties
Mr. Mayer has promised washington one OF
its best equipped stores in his establish
ment, and he surely seems to have met
every demand and ambition in his present
equipments.

EPILEPSY CAUSES DEATH.
Miss Elizabeth Taylor Mcoinness, Mis-
sion Worker, Passes Away,

Miss Elizabeth Taylor McGinnis, . young
woman who conducted a mission at Trini-
dad avenue and King street northeast, was
FOUND dead In her room above the mission
hall about $50 o'clock last night. Her
death was due to epilepsy. One Of the mis-
sion workers found her dead body lying on
the floor and beside it was a Bible.
Miss McGinness. 1t is thought. was read
Ing the book when she became H. A ply
stefan, who was summoned. found that life
was extinct and notified the coroner After
making an investigation Of the case Coro-
ner hewitt gave certificate OF death from
natural causes.
The deceased was only about thirty years
old She had lived here about six years
having come from Pottsville, Pa. During
the time she conducted the mission she at
tracted number Of friends and did much
good work. Relatives Of the woman In
Pottsville were notified Of her death. and
her body will probably be sent to the Penn
sylvania town for interment.

Somerville, who viewed the building rtly
after the catastrophe, said:
Iron Supports Gave WAY.

Iron Supports Gave Way.
The ir supports arparen ly gave way
on the fth story. caUsn Iart of the stones
and other building material to shoot out to-
ward the front of the ructu-e and on to
the ground, while the large ire sections,
consisting of iron posts and cir rs Joined
Together, composing the fran WI Of the
sixth, seventh and eighth sto .cs, fell back
ward toward the cen,er of n bu!! ling.
OFFICER Cooper, VINO WIS stan Ing on the
corner of 14th st ett and Penns -lvania
avenue, said he heard a loud crash up
among the frame work & the building. The
workmen and ps rsons on the street near
n..e building took warning and ran from the
&c ne to {. safe distance. a moment later
the material began to fall, and the officer
immC diately fastened to the building, where
he set about the rescue of Gordon. the
coiored man.
Several of the mechanics on the job
stated they heard the cracking of the If n
work and were enabled to get out of the
way of the falling Orders.
Has Narrow Escape.
W. Marlin, a bricklayer, at work on the
fourth floor constructing a narrow wall be-
tween the new building and tie Ebbitt
House, had a very narrow escape from the
falling material. He heard the crash and
saw the mass about to tumble. He imme-
diately crouched down on the stone jutting
outside the floor Of the fourth story, and
the mass of stone and iron shot over his
head on to the sidewalk below. None Of
the falling material struck him, and he con-
sidered himself as extremely fortunate.
Several pedestrians whose curiosity was
stronger than their fear of danger also mar
rowly escaped injuries by pausing to glance
upward to ascertain the cause of the crash.
They managed to get away, however, be-
fore the material fell.
The crash also startled a number of men
at work in printing Office just south of
the new structure, and in endeavoring to
get out of that building Mr.. E. r. Hates
bruised his arm slightly. The printers all
rushed out to the street. and on the advice
of the contractors it was decided by the
propretors to cease work for the day, and
the shop was closed up. 1t was feared the
brick wall might be tumbled over upon the
building in the effort to place the iron sec
tons into position. No serious mishap to
any of the adjacent property was noticed,
however, and it is not thought likely that
any will result.
Late this afternoon the work of clearing
the broken frame work from the building
was progressing rapidly, and the damage
will probably be repaired before o'clock
this evening.
