BEAUTIFUL STORE HAVE ROWLES & PARKER

Opening Friday Brought Out Many Notwithstanding Rainy Day— Splendidly Appointed.

The beautiful new store of Rowles & Parker was formally opened Friday, when many responded to the invitation to visit the store, listen to some fine orchestra music, partake of a luncheon furnished by the Club House brand of goods, look over the store and enjoy a pleasant afternoon and evening. (Messrs. Bowles & Parker have left nothing undope to establish in this city a store worthy of the progress of the large cities, and the beauty and convenience is alike' creditable to the owners and to the city. The building belongs to Benton Forsythe and it was extensively remodeled following the fire df last January which put Rowles & Parker out of business until the store was reopened sortie two weeks ago. The interior changes are extensive. The office and cash station has been moved from the center of the room to the wfest side and the stairways which flanked the old office were torn out apd a new one built on the east side. A passenger elevator has also been constructed at the side of the stairway. The high shelves and show cases which practically divided the large room into three smaller ones were all removed and all furniture which was retained was stained mahogany and much new furniture of the same finish installed. The large table method for display of goods has been inaugurated. These tables have eight large drawers each and have proven the best method for display and handling of goods and are used by the largest city stores. As before the dry goods depart ment occupies the west side of the room and the shoes the east side. The clothing department has (been moved to the main floor and is on the same side with the shoe department. New sliding hat racks and new shoe cases are employed to better display and care for the stock.

The grocery department is in the rear and makes a fine appearance, being plainly seen from the front. The high ceilings of metal have all been-repainted and a new semi-in-direct lighting system is used, making an even and mellow light throughout the large room. The store room was completed several weeks ago and is as fine as can be found in any city. The arrangement gives several show windows, affording a fine opportunity for artistic display, which the window dressers will take the best advantage of. The floors at the entrance is tiled and prism glass above the show windows gives a splendid lighting advantage te the interior. The second floor is devoted to the millinery department under Mrs. Beam, and to ladies’ ready-to-wear apparel, to cloaks, coats, trunks and leather goods, rugs, carpets, linoleums, etc. The arrangement is excellent and the new stock attractively displayed. Jardaniers filled with goldenrod furnished the special decorations for the opening day, while several large bunches of rosebuds were distributed over the tables and show cases. These were distirbuted during the evening among the ladies. Mrs. Rowles and Mrs. Parker, wives of the proprietors of the store, aided in showing visitors about the store during the afternoon and evening. The Club House company was represented by their traveling representative, the jovial Ed Mahoney, who donned a white apron and servpd coffees from a percolator and peanut butter sardines and peaches, cherries, apricots, strawberries, salmon, olives and everything else that bears a Club House brand. Ed becomes enthusiastic when talking about his “house” and he vied with the fine flavor of the coffee he served In arguing the excellence of his wares. The four-piece Italian orchestra was seated in the office, which is on an elevation of several feet, above the main floor and the sweet strains of music from harp, violin, cello and flute floated throughout the

WM. CAUSE SHOWS COMING MONDAY

Red Men Expect to Have Big Crowd at the Carnival and That All Will Be Much Pleased.

The carnival starts Monday. The William Gauze shows will be here and the indications are that this will be the best earnival company that has ever visited Rensselaer. The Red Men who are sponsors for the visit of the showmen made an investigation, sending a committee to see the shows and they came home with excellent reports. The band will probably be taken out to several nearby towns the first of the week to help advertise the visit and certainly all will know that Rensselaer is having a carnival.

store, greatly to the” delight of all who attended the opening. Unfortunately the day was a miserable one on account of rain and many were unable to go who had expected to do so, but as one of the proprietors of the store remarked, ‘ Probably the rain would do much more good than the opening and it s the good of the community that we are all mainly interested in.” . Rowles & Parker certainly have a magnificent store, finely appointed in all departments and with a brand new and clean stock they will doubtless come in for a large share of the business of this community and furnish another reason : ! or careful and exacting buyers to come long distances to trade with them.

BRITISH SINK FIVE OF THE GERMAN SHIPS

Russian Army Sweeps On Eastern Germany and German Attack Slackens Through Exhaustion.

London dispatches claim that five German vessels have been sunk by the British and that the latter escaped practically unscathed. Dispatches from the same city also claim that the Russians are sweeping on into eastern Germany, occupying many cities and towns. All the dispatches bear the London date lines and may not be confirmed later, but they show a decided advantage to the allies in the Friday fighting. A Paris dispatch which came through London says that the situation along the FrenchGerman border remains almost unchanged, except that through exr haustion the Germans have been forced to slacken their speed. The losses to both armies are appalling. The following resume of the late news gives the most important occurrences: In a battle off the Island of Heligoland, in the North Sea, the Germans lost two cruisers and two torpedo boats sunk, while another of their cruisers and many of their destroyers were badly battered by the British warships. German forts at Tsing-Tau fired upon by two Japanese cruisers reconnoitering off the fortress. One of the cruisers is said to have been damaged. Louvain, a Belgian town of 45,000 inhabitants, is reported to have been burned by the Germans as an act of reprisal. Because of the nonpayment of a war levy of $40,000,000, the Germans, it is said, threaten to seize the famous pictures and objects of art in the museums of Brussels. Advices from Chinese coastal cities report the sinking of the German torpedo boat destroyer 5.90 by the British torpedo destroyer Welland and the seizure by the allies of various German merchantmen. A series of reversals to British arms on the French frontier is officially announced in Berlin. After nine days’ fighting the Germans claim to have put the western line
