The New Avitumn
Fashions
Make a fascinating moving picture show at this store this week.
To walk through the different sections, to inspect the different
floors is like having a parade of fashions pass in review before
you, and the problems that now interest nearly every woman in
America what is the size of the hat The style of the sleeve?
The fullness and length of the skirt? The newest thing in
gloves, hosiery, neckwear, trimmings, etc., are solved.
You will want first choice, and you who are going to get
the best styles had best come now now when styles, varieties,
assortments are so rich and full, and, withal, priced so pleasingly.
Beautiful HaAs for Ajtvimn.
A painter's brush and an artist's skill could not portray all
the beauties of these first new creations for fall and winter wear.
Cold type utterly fails to describe their shapes, their peculiarly
lovely harmonies, worked out in velvets, satins, ribbons, leath
ers, wings and flowers. Every little piece of trimming helps
out the artistic color idea and the elegant style.
We shall simply say that the splendid records of our past
have been surpassed, and our collection of Suit and Dress Hats
at 5 to $10 is difficult to duplicate elsewhere at $7 to $12.
Women's Suits, Skirts, Waists.
This store is a mecca for them. We have sold more so far
this month than in any previous corresponding period of tirne.
There are reasons for this. The correctness of the styles,
the variety to choose from, the quality of suits have much to do
with it, we are sure.
Exclusiveness and the fact that every suit that requires al
teration is finished as though molded to its owner, combined
with prices that are moderate, are pushing our sales ahead of
all previous seasons.

Conferences With Representa
tives of the Powers.
Danger of War Believed to Lie In Pre
cipitate Action at Constantinople.
Should War Be Declared Efforts of
the Powers Will Be Directed to
Limiting Hostilities to Bulgaria and
Turkey International Conferene
to Revise Treaty of Berlin.
Paris, Oct. G. France has essayed
the role of mediator with the object
cf preventing war between Turkey
and Bulgaria, and as a result of For
eign Minister -firhon's series of cou
ferences with the representatives ol
the powers, including M. Jswolsky, the
Russian foreign minister, Naoum
Pacha, the Turkish ambassador to
France, the Austro-Hungarian, the
British, the American and the Italian
ambassadors and of active exchanges
which have been going on between the
various cabinets, it was announced
last night that France, Great Britain,
Russia and possibly Italy were pre
pared to act In unison to preserve
peace and to call a conference of the
signatories of the Berlin treaty to
deal diplomat Icily with the situation
that nas arisen between Turkey and
Bulgaria and to harmonize conflicting
Interests so that fresh complications
may be avoided.
Recognition of Bulgaria Conceded.
Already certain tentative proposi
tions as a basis for a conference have
been forwarded to Constantinople, and
If the porte's assent can be secured it
la argued as certain that peace will
be maintained. The nature of these
propositions has not been disclosed,
but It Is understood that they Involve
the recognition of Bulgaria's Inde
pendence as a "fait accompli."
The danger of war Is believed to
He In pieclpltate action at Constan
tinople. Forced by the "Young
Turks" pnrty. which may fear a blow
at Its prestige If It acquiesces In the
loss of Bulgaria, and by the military
pnrty, which wants to restore the old
order of things, It Is feared that Tur
key, although Ill-prepared, both from
a financial and military standpoint,
may proclaim war. Should this be
the case, the efforts of the powers will
then be dire, ted to limiting the war to
Bulgaria and Turkey.
According to information received
here. Bulgaria would welcome war, as
the Bulgarians are convinced that
their army could march straight to
Constantinople before the Turkish
forces could be mobllzed. The French
government's communique says:
"It Is certain that France, Russia,
Great Britain and Italy will do their
utmost to maintain peace In the East,
but It seems difllcult as the present
moment to judge what means will
beRt attain this end. All depends
upon what will happen at Constantin
ople, and events that will now rapidly
ensue might very shortly place the
powers In the presence of a 'fait ac
compli' and completely modify the
aspect of affairs.
Revision of Treaty of Berlin.
"The Idea of an International con
ference charged with the duty of de
ciding upon a revision of the treaty of
Berlin would seem to be put forward
with a certain persistence In political
circles. However, the disposition of
Turkey In that respect must be first
ascertained. If Turkey Is favorably
Inclined to this It Is believed that the
powers can easily reach an agreement
on the principle of a conference, the
Initiative for which France, Great
Britain and Russia will take. But
these are onlv hypotheses, which for
the present must he regarded with re
serve." The view Is now hold here that
there has been a double move on the
part of Bulgaria and Austria-Hungary,
these two countries acting together,
and that Germany and Italy were ad
vised of It In advance. Russia also
received an Intimation of the plan,
but Mr. Iswolsky asserts that he was
not let fully Into the secret, and In
some respects was misled.
A KEROSENE
LAMP EXPLODED,
Mrs. Mary Cummings and Two
Grandchildren Burned to Death,
Yonkers, X. Y., Oct. 6. Mrs. Mary

Waists. Coats and Skirts, Costumes

In the merchandise assembled for this fall season of 1908, the Cloak and Suit Department
far surpasses any previous effort. Exceedingly handsome Tailored Suits at $16.50, $18.50 and
$20. Suits that will bear the most rigid inspection as to the little details of perfect suit con
struction. Suits that leave nothing to be desired in style or general make-up. This suit busi
ness is being done on an exceedingly close margin of profit basis. The kind of suits we are
sending out at $16.50, $18.50 and $20 best evidence of this fact.
Junior Suits
range of styles and fabrics is a large one. All strictly mun-tailored and designed as carefully
and with as faithful regard for correct style as the women's suits. We have the right idea about
these Misses' Suits. They have distinction, style and character. Made by a house that makes
a specialty of "Junior Suits." Designers who design only Misses' Junior Suits. Tailors who
make only Junior Suits.

Judge Parker Speaks of Contribution
In 1904 to Republican Committee.
Baltimore, Oct. 6. "When Presi
dent Roosevelt so sweeplngly con
demned Haskell for his alleged con
nection with the Standard Oil com
pany, he perhaps forgot that In 1904
bis, Roosevelt's, committee received
$100,000 from tlie Standard Oil com
pany for the campaign fund and spent
It"
This statement by Judge Alton B.
Parker of New York brought to their
feet in a burst ot wild applause some
six thousand Democrats who assem
bled last night in Richmond Market
hall to hear him. Senator John Daniel
of Virginia, W. C. Bacon of New York
-nd others discuss the Issues of the
cajnpalgn:
Continuing .Tudse Parker said:
"And when Treasurer George B.
Cortelyou, of the national committee
In that year, went to the Standard Oil
company by appointment to ask for
money for the cunipalgn fund he was
not satisfied with $100,000 but wanted
more. It may be true that Rooseveit
wrote to Cortelyou telling him to send
that $100,000 hack to the Standard
Oil company but it Is equally true
that Cortelyou did not Bend It back
but used it. And It Is also true that
he was never punished by Roosevelt
for not sending the money back. On
the contrary, he was rewarded by be
ing made postmaster general of the
T'nlted Slates nnd afterward secre
tary Of the treasury."
