The marriage was most private, being witnessed only by the bme diate families of the bride and groom). Mr. and Mrs. Haynes left immediately for the north and are pte a a cas en Haynes’ home in Mrs. epee Miss Ingalls will not commence “Monday afternoons” until the first Monday in January. The party given by Mr. and Mrs, Horatio Sejurday night brought together, as bees «ue jouseful of agreeabl aur as no- Hf] Frit and his orp ond encme e le, secretary, an and daughter of Hon. H. A. P. Carter, the The ot i ot Irene “Beeoc acon second ter of “Dick” Hawes, was found in the lake at Bir- » Sai Jo slip, and & hemp cord, to which were fas, vy fish-plates weighing thirty Holidey Pur Purchases. The holiday season nis re rapidly approaching, and the streets of Washington are daily grow- ing more crowded with men, women, and chil- dren bent on making X-mas purchases. Ail the well-known stores are filled with customers from early morning until dark, and in many it is almost impossible to get a comprehensive idea of the character and extent of the beauti- fal things for sale. By referring to the advertis- ing columns of Tux Star the Christmas shop- Per can tell at a glance just where to go to find what is wanted without pushing and crowding through aifferent stores to learn if the desired articles are on hand. A number of business places where a specialty is made of holiday goods are mentioned below: Many a man and boy in this great city would be the happier on Christmas morning for the receipt of a nice warm overcoat, the gift of a kind friend or relative. Overcoats are cheap — ood = Alec tee ApLER’s, Ten Per Cent ing House, 7th street and Massachusetts ee All that is new and pleasing in the florists’ art may be enjoyed Py, visitors to 717 15th street northwest, where N. Stcpzr has a magnificent display of palms, blooming plants, and cut flowers. Good reliable shoes are like good reliable men—not too plentiful. The shoes sold by Wa. Hann & Co. are all warranted, so the buyer need have no fear as to the kind of foot- wear he will get if he buys of this firm. The main store is at 816 7th street; the west-end store is at 1922 Pennsylvania avenue, and the Capitol Hill store is at 231 Pennsylyv: southeast. The quality of the ghoes in these three establishments is uniform and the prices are as low as bargain-seeking humanity could expect. How easy it is for the man of moderate means to be respectably dressed in these days! A suit of clothes that a few years would have been cheap at $30 can now be duplicated for $15. “But,” says the man who ioaele on pay ng more for his clothes than they are “‘a suit of clothes that only costs ” eis is too cheap to be good.” ‘That he is in error can be roven by a visit to Erszmax Bros., at 7th and FE ctceotss where clothing of the best quality is sold at reasonable prices to an appreciative multitude. Itis not often thata dealer can offer the public ains in furs at this season of the year. In the on . of course, furs are cheap and plentiful, fhroughout the winter the stock is generally Mimited ‘and held at high fig- ures, Furs in — e were never cheaper nor more plen' than they now are at Bavm's. The complete stock of a fur manu- facturer was purchased by this house last week, and now the Washington public is invited to examine Baum’s immense assortment of muffs, boas, and collars. Some of these goods have been marked down to less than one-half their retail value; but this reduction has not been made because of any defect in the stock. It is because the house desires to give its customers the benefit of this bargain. Five dollars’ worth of furs for half the money is a Christmas pres- ent of $2.50. See? Brap Apams, who is closing out his station- ery store, at 1214 F street, is offering mourn- ing stationery atextremely low prices. The good flavor of N. W. Buacwext’s “Spring leaf tea” has led many drinkers of green tea to change to the black. It is a pure Chinese black tea, equal to a much-higher priced tea in flavor, and is sold for 50 cents per pound. All grades of teas are made a specialty at 1825 F street. The workmen at Gzoroz J. Mcetien’s candy establishment, 314 Pennsylvania avenue, are engaged upon a very large contract with Santa Claus, for pure candy. Several thousand pounds are made daily of assorted creams. French mixed, Jackson balls, and all sorts of nice things. One who wears a truss may goa long way toward forgetting this misfortune by getting one that don't break or wear out, and that cas be worn in bathing. Cuas. Fiscuer, 623 7th street northwest, promises such a boon in his “celluloid truss.” Gro. E. Keynepy & Son, 1209 F street, is re- ceiving constantly new brands of fresh im- ported cigars. A box of such cigars makes a very acceptable present for a man who smokes. They are offered at low prices. There is a branch store at 1108 Connecticut avenue. W. 8. Tompson, the pharmacist of 703 15th street, makes a phosphatic emulsion for 75 cents a pint, which is very “ably to the taste. Sexis Fede! one feels ‘the me of cod liver oi season, and this is the most agreeable bot in which to take it. The plain, pone Norwegian cod liver oil is offered at 50 cents and 25 cents per bottle. Some people decorate their houses merely for Christmastide, while others are only pleased to be surrounded with decorations throughout the year. The latter class make artistic display of such rich porcelains and beautiful brassware as may be purchased of Harwarp & Hutcutx- Son, 424 street. Books always make suitable presents, whether for Christmas, New Year or any other occa- sion. C. C, PursEL, 418 9th street, has on ex- hibition a fine line of Lp pmo children’s books and handsome editions of the standard authors. Wx. Bataxtrxg & Son, 428 7th street, has an extraordinary stock of elegant holiday books and stationery. Writing desks, lap tablets, books and Christmas cards are displayed in immense variety. Christmas presents that are handsome, ser viceable and seasonable are the stylish jackets and ulsters for ladies made to order at "8, 414 9th street northwest. Lurz & Bro., 497 Pennsylvania avenue, the harness dealers, are content to advise the [che to “Get the best.” knowing that the ord harness that they sell, the horse blankets, lap robes, of which they have every style and variety, and other similar supp! included in their stock will stand the most criti- cal examination. Their prices, too, are most satisfactory. There is nothing that contributes more to making a man satisfied with himself than a neatly fitting, well-made suit of clothing. Hence H. D. Barr, the im; rand tailor, 1111 Pennsylvania avenue, done much to increase the general happiness of the world. He has a fine line of new goods from which to make selections, and he personally fits all gar- ments made in his establishment. G. H. Kun, 407 10th street, now has an ex- cellent line of pianos and organs, including the Krakauer pianos, so celebrated for their tone, and highly recommended by eminent musi- cians. The special attention of womankind is in- vited by Wm. H. McKnew, the successor to R. H. Taylor, 933 Pennsylvania avenue, to his stock of cloaks and winter wraps. At the same time his line of gloves, hosiery and un- derwear comprises the latest novelties, as well as the established favorites. As for handker- chiefs Mr. McKnew says he was never better prepared to suit every fancy. His Christmas surprises will be appreciated by his many patrons, Cold weather makes people shiver unless they are suitably clothed. At621 Pennsylvania avenue, I.

Port-au-Prince Letter New York Worl I called on General Legitime at his pri- vate residence soon after landing at Port-au- Prince. The black ruler does not occupy the official residence, or the “‘palace,” as the Hay- | ‘WV; tians fondly characterize the large, cheap- looking brick and wooden edifice on the Champ des Armes, which was built of Yankee mater- ial and etock by the late President Salomon. The title of president not having as yet been conferred legally on Gen. Legitime, he declines to assume additional honors beyond those of | “ his present office of ‘chief of executive power” of the government, and he remains at his pri- vate residence. The latter is situated on one Shae Lives st* ra le screen sur- roundings than the average dwelling- house belonging to one of the shop-keepi class. On the onciot the shop teeing a sort of open booth. The gutters on either side of the carriageway are and contain al slimy water. a gently flowing rivulet of fo Wooden foot bridges in front of the houses enable le you to pass these noisome cloaca. the booth reclined or squatted fifteen or twe wal Haytian soldiers detailed to guard th the body of the “chief of executive wer.” The uniform of the Haytian infantry of French design, made of dark blue -—_ with red collar, cuffs and facings. The kepi blue and red. Those who were not barefoot a. wore slippers of blue, and white canvas was run down under the long heel. A rusty, i kept Remington rifle, with a belt full of cartridges, completed the rig of the infantry of the Black republic. The soldier who guarded the front door of General Legitime brought his piece to the shoulder in an apathetic manner as passed into the lower hall. A broad flight of stairs led to an upper hall, out of which a small room opened. At a desk of black walnut, —— made in copra sat two black gen- men attired in broadcloth frock coats. They wielded their pens with the assiduity of secre- taries not anxious to catch the next mail. The salon, which was beyond the ante-room, was asthe place where General Legitime would receive me. The apartment was about twenty feet square, high and cool. When the dictator of Hayti entered I beheld @ tall man, witha face of the purest African . He is as erect as the tall pine of Rod- erick Dhu, and he moves with Gallic ease and dignity. General Legitime’s face is long, the brow is high and narrow. His hair, which is now closely eropped, betrays its tendency to kink despite its short length. His lips are full and thick and the sclerotice of his eyeballs are tinged with yellow. His hands are long, slen- der, and extremely well shaped. le looks the soldier. On this occasion his military frock wasof dark green, without epau- lettes or gold lace. High top boots of plain leather came above his knees. A broad-brim- med black felt hat, without decorations, was carried in one hand. Arear view suggested the figure of the late Emperor Frederick of Germany as the crown prince. Take awa} Legitime’s black hue and you would have ar markably fine specimen of a man. Black as he is, in uniform he is imposing and handsome. ‘Madame Legitime, who entered with her hus- band, is a very stout woman of middle age, who was arrayed in a loose blue and white house gown, and who wore a profusion of dia- mond jewelry. She wasa mulatto of the cafe au lait type, and must at one time have been a very handsome woman. As the wife of the head of the Haytian government Mme. Legi- time is naturally a leader of society and very auch courted. ae a The Clairvoyants Fooled. RETURN OF A WANDERER WHOM THEY DECLARED DROWNED. Edward E. Smith, twenty-nine years old, of ‘Hartford, was a student of Yale in 1882, His mind became unsettled in his junior year, and he was taken out of college. He was placed in the Hartford retreat for the insane. Last June he wandered away from home. Every possible effort was made to find him. He had a quarter of a dollar in his ket. With that he bought a shave and a package of cigarettes. Thus equipped, he strayed away. Every effort pages oy Lares racic extensively ad- yertised for. Circulars were sent in all direc- tion until Connecticut was flooded with them. announcement came from thorities there were sure they had the man. A friend went at once fo Ashford, where the mppored Mr. Smith was in the keeping of » family who had found him. ‘They found, not Mr. Smith, but another poor wandering imbecile, who only knew enough to say he was lost and who did not know his own name. The search revealed other cases of a similar character. Finally his friends were compelled to think that Smith was dead. All sensible methods of finding him having failed, the clairvoyants were apptoached. Four different seers, a ‘ently without consultation. declared that he ad been drowned in the Naugatuck river. Their agreement wasan amazing circumstance, but it lost most of its force because Mr. Smith suddenly ly appeared i in New Haven last Wednes- day night. He was taken to his home in Hart- ford. He had been gone nearly six months, and is known to have been in New York an Philadelphia, and even as far south as Cape May. ‘He made the whole journey in a penni- less condition. He found his bed in barns, freight cars and fields. . He begged pennies to cross the ferry at Jersey City, and on return- ing to Hartford had nothing on that he wore away except a thin coat, He will hereafter be carefully confined, How’s This, Ladies? A MAN ACCUSES YOU OF SELFISHNESS AND DI8- COURTESY, From the New York Herald: “I wish you Herald fellows would stop writ- ing all that stuff and nonsense about giving women seats in the cars,” said a merchant to me yesterday. “Why, Mr Curmudgeon?” said I. “Because it makes me tired,” replied my ac- quaintance, ‘and its only sickening sentimen- tality. I am an old traveler, as you know,” continued the old boy, “and I never met a wo- man on the road who had the slightest consid- eration for eevbeey, but herself. Women have no hearts, and outside of their families no man- ners. Time and again I have seen a woman— what you ne’ per fellows call a lady—in a railroad car order a conductor to turn overa seat, and then she would 5 (phos little packages all over it. I have seen cars filled up and Lhave seen men standing up and looking at the room taken up by these packages. Do you think that selfish woman would remove a package to let some one sit down? Nota much. “Then look at these confounded women,” Mr. Curmudgeon went on with increased fury, ‘who get into horse cars with kids whose fares they don’t pay. Ihave seen those young var- mints occupy & seat for a couple of miles to the exclusion of a grown person. The woman lets the child kneel on the seat, so that it’s muddy boots can make a door mat of you. Did you ever see the mother, or the aunt, or the sister, take it on her knee to make room for her fellow-woman? I never did and nobody else ever did. That's why I never give a woman a seat. When they learn manners and do as they would be done Ae then you re- porters won't have so much opportunity to :7 your — — of your antipathy to the fair sex?” I ask: “Never mind,” > reapoaded Mr. Curmudgeon, as he hurried away, ‘it’s none of your darned business.” ——-——- ee EpvcaTionaL QUALIFICATIONS FoR VoTERS.— A Veen to the Baltimore Sun from Columbia, ..
