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.

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 Found It to I to tlio Most Metropolitan 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.

Carter's "Fast Mall" will appear - pear at the rutccnlti Street theater for 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. /jTJiy ) I'nxsiu.vs , Veterans of the r > titoVnr IComotnboroi ! liy the General Oovrriimont.
