Overlooking With Household Sup
plies and Fashionable Ap-
parel for the People

The Fifth Street Store-"Somethins
Doing'-operated by the Steele, Faris
s. Walker Co., on the southwest corner
of Fifth street and Broadway, will be
opened to the public in a short time as
q new department store. The manage
ment will be in charge of D. II. Steele,

treasurer. and R. M. Walker, vice presi-
dent.
During the past few weeks there has
been complete Transformation of the
four-story building. The corner is
familiar to all frequenters of Broad
way as the old house Of Hawley, King
& Co. In future the place will be
known as the Fifth Street Department
Store.
Features of New Store
The exterior Of the building has been
thoroughly overhauled and a magnifi-
cent copper front with splendid set of
show windows, extending the entire
width and length Of the building has
been put in. These windows are pan
eled up in hardwood with beamed cell
ings and are of most modern type and
extremely effective.
The first impression that is made
when one enters the building is spac-
iousness and light. The fixtures
throughout the center of the building
are low, according to the best modern
experience and thought and afford an
unobstructed view of the entire main
floor. From end to end and from base
ment to the top floor the building Is
flooded with clear, white north light
and the addition of prismatic lights
along the Fifth street side has re-
suited in superior light.
The first floor is finished In mahog-
any with green walls and ceilings,
most restful and pleasing color and
quite unique in store usage. The hard
ware and all metal work is of dull
brass combining richly with the ma
hogany and green and producing
splendid effect. On the main floor are
the fancy goods, piece goods of all
kinds, notions, hosiery and underwear,
soda fountain, information bureau,

of the public and to the increased ac-
commodation of the help; and this fact,
in connection with the personnel of the
management, has attarcted the exper-
fenced statesmen in all the various de-
partments OF the store.
This establishment. the latest large
store to open, enjoys the distinct ad-
vantage of utilizing every improve
ment that skill and brains can devise
and money command, besides present
ing many features absolutely unique,
which will contribute to the added con-
venience of the public.

STORM CAUSES DISTRESS.
Loss of Employment Due to Fall OF
Snow

The recent fall of snow and other wintry
conditions have caused many additional
demands to be made upon the Associates
Charities for assistance. This information
was gained al the rooms OF the association
on street last evening.
Many poor men and boys who gain a
livelihood by working out of doors have
lost their employment temporarily, and as
their earnings al best are scant, they have,
In a majority of cases, been unable to lay
aside any money for the proverbial rainy
or snowy, day. Hence they find them
selves often in sore straits when the Sc
verify of the weather closes their avenues
of breadwinning.
One class in particular that suffers most
when the snow flies and covers the ground
with its ley crust Is the diggers and delivers
on the city's dumps. These people, largely
colored, delve into the refuse heaps and Sc
cure therefrom bits of metal, rags and
other things and sell the same to the junk
dealers. When the heaps are coated with
snow their means of earhing q living are
cut off and suffering results.
The delivers referred to reside in tumble
down shanties or insanitary tenements, as
a rule, and at best they exc out only d
