window space on the south of the store the
attention of even the most casual observer
Is attracted 10 the magnificent kaleidoscope
of fashionable designs that passes before the

immense stock displayed within the estab-
lishment.
There is gorgeous display of rich silk dress
goods, handsome tailor-made suits, cre1-
tions Of striking beauty in headgear. cloaks
and wraps, and. in fact. everything in the
line Of fashion that tends to make woman
happy and beautiful and sweet-tempered.
The general effect Of the display on the
first floor, as one enters the store. Is such
as to call forth unqualified admiration from
the shoppers. 1t is clearly evident from
the results obtained that no time or eX-
pense has been spared to make the estab-
lishment attractive to its hosts of Gus
toners, and a stream Of patrons has been
passing in and out of the store since early
morning.
Scattered through the store are numerous
palms and potted plants, while ribbons of
many colors, dress goods Of fetching pat
terms and other decorations lend beauty to
the busy scene. Another feature that adds
to the attractiveness of the store is that the
100 young ladies employed therein were ar
rayed in black uniforms, with white col
lars ana Dlack Ties, all Dusty engaged In
supplying the wants of the many buyers
The browning of fashion in the millinery
department is a notable display. The hats
ane of beautiful design, the product Of IA
nous miliners in Paris, Berlin, Vienna
London and the leading American cities

less a most attractive exhibit.
The department Of ladies' waists and
gowns has elected many EXPLANATIONS of
admiration from those who inspected the
stock today. The stock is immense and the
rich. beautiful silks and other materials
fasten the attention of all the prospective
buyers. There are evening gowns of great
beauty, walking suits in either bright COL
ors or sober hue. while the cloaks. wraps.
etc. have never before been exceeded in de-
sign and pattern.
One particular article that was continual
ly surrounded by interested and covetous
purchasers today was handsome table
cover Of wonderful silk. which was on ex-
htbit in the art department.
The cover was embroidered with beautiful
hand-worked figures and designs and is
only a sample of the stock on hand in the

ing character this season, and the stock at

FOR DAMAGING TREES.
Boys Taken Into Custody by the Capt.
toll Police.


By direction Of Captain Megrew Of the
Capitol police force, Detective F. N. Web
Der and Bicycle Policeman A. F. Barrett
made raid yesterday on a number Of boys
who were alleged to have been despoiling
trees and shrubbery in the Capitol parks.
AS a result of the raid eleven youngsters
were arrested.
Much complaint has been made recently
against the boys because Of the injury they
have inflicted on certain rare trees and
bushes in the parks. One Of these Is known
as the Christ tree" 1t Is a native Of
Jerusalem. Captain Megrew said today, and
was given It's name because popular tradi-
tion has 1t that the crown of thorns which
was placed upon the Savior's head just be-
fore His crucifixion was made from branches
Of the tree. 1t bears red berry. similar
to the haw. and 1t Is these berries which
induce the children to make raids upon
the trees. The thorn tree Is particular
favorite Of little girls, who string the
sacred red berries and make wreaths and
necklaces Of them.
The boys prefer the persimmon trees In
the southeast park. and those that bear
horse chestnuts and acorns. Capt. Megrew
says great damage has been done the trees
by boys pelting them with sticks. stones
and other missiles. In order to break up
these practices he ordered the raid.
The youthful prisoners who were lined up
before the captain. were: Charles Ham
mond. William Brooks. Matthew Brooks,
Ed. T. Stevens (arrested by Officer Fitz-
myer). Bert Kenney. F. M Painter, Frank
and Albert Yetter. NJ. Hazel, ]. Walker
and Jerome Burke. After being severely
lectured and warned they were turned over
to their parents.
Lewis Maloney. colored. about fourteen
years of age. did not fare as well as the
others. Oficers Weber and Barrett found
him engaged In form Of vandalism that
Captain Megrew refused to pass over
lightly. He had an iron skate attached to a
long strap, with which he was clubbing the
trees and bushes. doing much damage. Upon
reaching the guard room this boy made
desperate effort to escape from his captors.
He overturned tables and chairs, and nearly
tore a door from its hinges in his efforts
to regain his freedom. When placed in the
patrol wagon he made a second attempt to
escape, but was recaptured He was tried
in the juvenile police court this afternoon
and
Mahoney pleaded guilty In the juvenile
court this afternoon when arraigned on a
charge Of trespassing in the Capitol
grounds, and the court imposed a fine OF
s. which was paid.

HANDSOME EXHIBIT.
Lansburgh Furniture Establishment a
Bower of Beauty.

Lansburgh Furniture Esta blishment a
Bower of Beauty.
Probably a'Tnore handsome display has
never been seen in the stores of Washington
than that arranged at the establishment of
the Lansburgbs Furniture Company on 9th
street The MAIN foor is veritable palace
of beauty" The occasion for this display.
is the annual fall opening of the large furni-
ture store, and the efforts of former years
have been outdone this season in making
the scene attractive.
On entering the store a ladder Of roses
and carnations calls forth the admiration Of
the visitor. The flowers are of many co.ors.
and the ladder, which is about fifteen feet
in length, was presented to the proprietor
of the store by the employees OF the estab
lshment. On nearly every hand there are
large glass vases containing American
Beauty roses and other cut flowers. while
palms and tropical plants are arranged
about the room with artistic effect.
A beautiful effect has been obtained by
arranging a border of smilax and aspara-
gus over the white lace curtains about the
walls. The scene resembles more parlor
of fashion than a business emporium.
A feature of the decorations is the oriental
coZy corner In the center of the room,
where tapestry of eastern manufacture,
fans, masks. rugs and other accessories
carry out the idea of the oriental design.
Arranged tastefui1y about the walls are
laces and draperies' of most exquisite pat
tern and make, while imported and domes-
tic carpets and rugs are placed on the floor
In elegant profuson.
Specimens Of colonial, Chippendale and
Shereton furniture form an attractive ex-
hibit and are the source of admiration from
the many patrons of the establishment The
whole south side of the store on the first
floor is filed with drapery Of gorgeous de-
signs. arranged in striking manner
Down the middle of the room are three
pyramids. each surmounted by palms, and
hung with tapestry. brocatelles and dam
asks.
The second floor contains an immense
stock of imported and antique carpets, rugs,
etc, while the fine parlor furniture is dis
played on the third floor.
The other floors of the building contain
the dining room, kitchen. library furniture
and couches, rockers, &C.. all Of which go
to make up well-appointed home
The Marine Band has been engaged for
concerts this afternoon and tonight start
ing at 2:3O this afternoon and concluding
its program at 1890 tonight. The crowds
that have inspected the stock today have
been immense, and this opening will no
doubt be long remembered by the residents

JOHN TIGHE ACQUITTED.
Was Charged With Completely /,
Burning Gambling Houses.

John Tighe. charged with completely In
the burning Of several gambling houses In
Jackson City July II, was acquitted this
morning on one Indictment in the Alexan-
dria county court, and, on motion of Com
monwealth Attorney James E. Clements
the other nine relative indictments were
nolle pressed as they were called.
When the first Indictment was called the
prisoner was arraigned. and the following
5urymen were sworn: John E. Marcher,
George Marcy, M. G. Sanborne. Henry
West. e. B. Scanland, w. s. Reed, w. J.
Graham, Roy Marcy. William p. Boswell
John Payne, Robert King and ]. D. Ash
ford.
George W. Myers was placed on the stand
by the prosecution, but his testimony was
unfmportant. Martha Luckett, a colored
resident Of Jackson City. and Moses Jack
son. colored man formerly employed
about the gambling places. were called in
turn.
Attorney r. c. L. Moncure, defending
Ilghe. contented himself in the proceedings
with listening to the direct testimony, In
stead Of submitting the witnesses to cross
examination.
When Jackson had been dismissed Mr..
Clements, addressing the court, said he
submitted the case with great reluctance,
owing to the lack Of further evidence He
said he had used every means to get those
witnesses which the commonwealth relied
upon for conviction, and that he had been
unsuccessful because they reside in a for
eign jurisdiction.
The jurymen retired to their room and
returned a few minutes later with a YER
dict of not guilty. Tighe was dismissed by
Judge Love after each of the other nine
indictments had been stricken from the
docket
In granting the motion Of Commonwealth
Attorney Clements. Judge Love remarked
Il grant the motion simply because 1t Is
demonstrated here that the commonwealth
attorney cannot produce witnesses In court
because Of their being in another jurisdic-
ton"

who had used all reasonable means to pro-
duce the witnesses.
Tighe had been in jail since the middle of
July when he was arrested on charges
similar to those on which John Nelson was
arrested. He was unable to give bond and
his case had been continued several times.
