the week has been entirely devoid of any
entertainment ot a startling nature. The
streets , however , have commenced to looh
llko the reRular Reason , for the fashionables
ore returning , and within a month It will
be safe to hazard a prediction as to whal
the social lions nnd lionesses will have tc
offer their constituents , for society has IU
constituents as well as politicians ,
The visit ot Mrs. Potter nnd Mr. Dellen
did not , strange to say , call out any con
siderable number ot the haute monde , pre
sumably for the reason that they arc not Ir
town to bo called out , yet "Charley's. ' Aunt"
on the opening night brought the swells tc
the front as It It were the height ot the
regular Benson.
Tuesday evening , as the management ol
the "Last Days of Pompeii" has determined
to make It military night , one may cxpecl
the fair sex to throw off their ennui and
participate with the Thurston Rifles and the
Omaha Guards In the gala occasion. Ocn-
rral Brooke's picture will bo shown In colon
of flro , and the soldier boys are looklnj
forward to a joyful occasion.

Mr. Scollclil Writes Upon the Latest New
York btylcs.
, NEW YORK , Aug. 28. The substantial
proof of appreciation recHved during the
past season , of my efforts to build up an
establishment In Omaha where ladles can
enjoy the convenience of buying correct
gowns , ready inado. has encouraged me to
give this branch of my business more at
tention , During the pant ten daya my
entire time has been devoted to the study
of ladles' fall suits , with the object In view
of being absolutely positive that my selec
tions shall reprssent the most popular styles
shown among the latest productions ot noted
modistes ot this city.
I find that the manufacturers ot suits
are also making greater efforts , the rapid
growth of public opinion In favor of ready
maele gowns during the past year or two ,
proving to them that a new field of In
dustry Is opening and that In the not far
distant future all ladles will buy the greater
part , if not all of their suits , ready made.
The suit business of a few years ago was
conducted here and there by cloak houses
during the spring as a "side line" to keep
their force busy. Shawls then being worn ,
there was little demand for spring jackets ,
and capes were unknown , Now It Is dif
ferent , tbero are exclusive dress-making
houses , which make It a business the year
around , and employ expert designers at
high salaries , who visit Paris and Berlin
each season , where they take notes and buy
costumes to use as models ; some ore , though
rarely , reproduced entire , others only in
part , from one the cuff or perhaps the
whole sleevela used ; from another the col
lar. the shapa of the basque or skirt.
While In the other cases the leaving off ot
this or that feature in the original , makes
a garment much more desirable for the
American market , as they say American
ladles are more practical and prefer a waist
with perfect curves and a skirt" that Is cut
and hangs correctly , to the most expensive
Imported gown that Is ovcrtrimmed.
Tallor-mado gowns are deservedly becom
ing more popular. House and reception cos
tumes arc , of course , shown In endless vari
ety , but It Is considered essential that one's
wardrobe , whether extensive or limited ,
should contain nt least one tailor-made suit.
Here In New York ono meets them every
where. The new styles for fall are par-
tfcvallry handsome and becoming to most
figures. The cloths most desirable are quiet
effects.
It's not surprising that .the ready made
teller suits give an effect that cannot bo
ptoduccd by those uho only make ono now
and then , as here they arc turned out by
thousands , cut from perfected patterns and
made by men tailors , who. In the making
and pressing , are able to glvo that look
which can only be produced by experience
an constant practice.
My object In writing this open letter Is to
impress upon your minds the fact that my
stock this fall will bo more complete than
over. My connections here are "with the
acknowledged Idaders among dresa-maklng
establishments , < whode productions are con
fined exclusively1 to Jino for Omaha. I be-
llevo I shall bo ftUlo to substantiate the
claim that it will pay every lady who reads
these lines to fwatt4 until my suits arrive
before making arrangements to have dresses
made. The suits' ordered are being Tnade
especially for us from materials of our own
selection and v\6 will be ableto sell you
fine suits of exclusive designs for less money
than the garments- could posslbjy be produced
In Omaha. < r < i
The balance ofimy stay here will be de
voted to the selection of winter wraps , both
in cloth and funim'And ' when complete , these
departments wib represent the largest vari
ety ot s\l \ new styles ever before , shown in
Omaha. Very inesitoctfully.

AT THE OLD CORNER AGAIN
Tlio Eaton Store Shakes Htincls .with the
Public at Its New Homo.
THEIR RECEPTION CAN NEVER BE ECLIPSED
Tlioutnml YlnUcil tlio ItnUon Vc tor < li y niiil

Dry Cioudi KitithlUhuionl In
the \Vrsu
The ereta of the season In trade circles
yesterday -RBS the opening of tlis IJoaton
Store lit Us now building- , just completed , on
tlio site of the ; old building destroyed by ( Ira
Beven months ngo , The store was opened res.
tcrdaj- morning , although tlio formal cere
monies Introducing tha new building with
Its now stock of goods did not occur until
evening.
Tha new building stands on the silo of tlio
old ono destroyed by flro last February , at
Sixteenth nnd Douglas streets. The new
structure Is designed after Ideas furnished
chiefly by Mr. Emll Drandels , the plans be
ing prepared by Architect Latenser , It Is
four full stories above a high basement , con
structed entirely of fireproof material , and
Is probably as near proof against fire as hu
man Ingenuity can guarantee. The building
Is constructed of pressed brlok and -stone ,
all of the girders , joists and beams being of
structural Iron , all partitions and ceilings of
tiling , and the rooC covered with several
Inches of gravel laid In cement.
The-most nottccablo feature of the Interior
Is the absence of shelving. With the ex
ception of the shelving backing the walls
around the Interior , the whole of each floor
Is entirely open , all of the flno dress goods
usjally stored In shelved being displayed encounters
counters especially designed for the purpose.
As a result the Boston Store Is the best
lighted building In the west.
The Interior la not only well lighted , but
the finishing work has been of more than
usual good taste. The new counters and
shelves are of antique oak , the railings and
balcony -work of ornamented bronze.
The basement Is reached by eight broad ,
easy stairways , whllo access to the upper
floors Is gained by three modern elevators ,
ono In front and ono In each of the rear
corners. At night the building Is lighted on
the Interior by eighty arc lights with es
pecially designed hangers and globes.
As early as 7 o'clock this
morning the crowds of shoppers
began to arrive and long before
noon the basement and first floor \vero
packed with eager purchasers. The- com
pany this morning had a force of 218 sales
men and salesladies at vorlc , In addition to
forty wrappers and 100 cash boys and girls.
When the entire store * 1st completed and In
operation the Boston Store will give employ
ment to 1,000 people dally.
The stock displayed today for the first
tlmo Is an entirely new one , not an old piece
of goods being placed on the shelving or
counters. Of course , the great leader Is the
Immense stock of dry goods , which embraces
every novelty of the fashionable season. The
new stocks of boots and shoes nnd millinery
are also very complete. In addition to these
leaders , the company carries a .handsome line
of china and glassware , druggists' sundries ,
perfumeries , etc.
A new feature of the business Is the ladles'
lunch room In the southeast corner of the
basement. Here will be served at all hours
a dairy lunch , prepared by competent chef.
This feature alone promises to become popu
lar with the shopping public ot the city.
Taken In Its entirety , the Boston Store Is
one of the handsomest of Its kind In the
west. It compares favorably with any es
tablishment of its kind In any ol the larger
cities of the Mississippi and Missouri valleys.
The building is adapted to Its purpose , the
various stocks are new and complete , the
executive staff Is ono of the best organized
In the mercantile west and the salesmen and
clerks efficient and experienced.
The store was handsomely dressed , and
huge stands of cut flowers , roses , palms and
foliage plants greeted the eyeof the visitor
at every turn. An orchestra In the balcony
furnished excellent music for the entertain
ment of visitors. In the evening the com
pany made one of tha most elaborate electric
displays ever shown In the city , over 4,000
Incandescent lamps being used on the ex
terior of the building , the sidewalks for a
block away being jammed with thousands o (
people , who notched this grand sight for
hours.
The firm of J. L. Brandels & Sons Is one
of the enterprising companies of Omaha. II
Is composed of J. L. Brandcls , the elder , and
sons , Arthur D. , Emll and Hugo II , These
gentlemen first established themselves In the
wholesale dry goods business In Omaha
twelve years ago. Eight years ago they
transformed thalr trade Into a retail busi
ness. They first "occupied quarters at 1207
Farnam street , and then moved to a building
at 116 South Sixteenth street. Nearly four
years ago they erected the large four-story
building destroyed by Hro early last Feb
ruary. The embers had not commenced to
cool before work was begun on the new
structure dedicated to commerce yesterday.
The Boston Is one ot the leaden In Omaha
business circles , and every citizen who takes
pride In the advancement of the city will
extend hearty congratulations to the Ilrandcla
over their success.

four nights nnd Wednesday matlncc , com-
meticlnu with nmtlnec today nnd spccl.il
matlncc Monday , Labor day , September 3. *
It Is salt ! to be the most successful rail
road nml scenic melodrama on the road this
season. Mr. L. J. Carter , the Author and
manager , has contrived to weave Into n
consistent story nearly nil the good points
of the sensational drama. The cllnmx ol
each act Is strong enough to sustain \\holo
play , yet so well graded aret the features
ot the piece that one vlowa with Increas
ing Interest through the five acts , the mur
der and the clever trick with the grand
father's clock In the first act , the Mississippi
river steamer. Its engine room showing a
practical furnace , and the explosion with
"complete change ot scene behind a curtain
of rising BinoHc , " behind which Is seen the
wreck , as the curtain falls on the second act ;
the "life alze" freight train , with Its real
istic engine and sixteen box cars , with"their
familiar lettering , followed , nt the close of
the third net , by "The Fast Mall , " the dago
dlvo ot the fourth net , and the thrilling
Incidents and hairbreadth escapes which
take place there ; and then the "full front
view ot Niagara Falls , as seen from the
center of suspension bridge , " upon which the
final curtain descends.
Boyd's will be dark this week.
"Sir. Barnes of New York" will bo pre
sented Thursday , Friday nnd Saturday
nights at the Fifteenth Street theater.
The coming engagement of Daniel Froh-
man's Lyceum Theater company Mon
day and Tuesday nights ot next week at
Boyd'a new theater la a renewal ot those
pleasant visits which have been Interrupted
for the past three years. The play , "The
Amazons , " Is the latest success ot this com
pany.
The play -will be found quite n surprise to
those who are well accuialnted with the
efforts of tills company In the past , but the
name of the author Is sufficient to insure
an agreeable entertainment. Mr. Plnero has
at no time ottered to the public and dra
matic work not worthy of serious considera
tion , but In "The Amazons" he has for the
first time abandoned heroics , pathos , and what
Is generally known as strongly dramatic
writing , and all offered In a manner to win
admiration by his careful avoidance of tha
slightest suggestlveness of coarseness. In
this particular Mr. Plnoro may claim an ad
vantage over any known writer of farce or
comedy at the present day.
