] — THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, CHRISTMAS SHOPPING. Where to Go to Secure Desirable Holi- day Presents. It would seem as though everybody in Wash- ington with a nickel to spend im Christmas goods is taking advantage of the glorious weather to spend it The result is that the Streets and thé stores are so crowded that many people forget what they want and where to go in the effort to make more headway. The best plan, under these circumstances, is to go prepared with an exact understanding of the situation, in aid of which Tux Star gives a few suggestions as to places, prices, and presents, A complete assortment of ladies’ and men’s furnishing goods can be found at the Onroe, 822 7th street. A glance at the advertised cc ces of the goods in stock will satisfy a would-be purchaser of the advantage of giving the Oniote acall. Everything is reduced to the lowest possible figures. This is the season when first-class foot-gear is absolutely indispensable. The time to buy when good shoes are offered at a great reduc- tion of prices, as has recently been made at the Staxpaxp Soe Hovse. 824 7th street. A use- ful souvenir of a durable pair of rubbers is pre- sented with every purchase of $3 and over. A first-class grocery store is an indispensable institution during the holiday season, and any one desiring to lay ina ‘supply of provis- ions would do well to call at the estab ent of Expsoszo Youxos Company, 428 9th street. A specialty is made of Cassard’s delicate break- fast bacon. Abandsome Smyrns rug will make a very acceptable Xmas present, and an ant assortment can be fot at Wasn. B. Wn- Lams’, $11,317 and 319 7th street. He an- nounces that he will sella large stock of lace curtains at the cost to import, also a full line of bric-a-brac, easels, music racks, ks, foot-rests, screens, &c. Ten per cent dis count is offered for this week on all carpet including body and tapestry brussels, all- and ingrains. To any man, or woman either, who has let- ters or papers to preserve, no more suitable gift could be purchased than a set of Shannon odice files or a Shannon cabinet. They can be seen at the office, 622 F street northwest, Pacific building. Leathe- # now used in making articles of use of al, kinds. A fine selection of leather goods suitable for Christmas gifts can be found at Kyeest’s, 425 7th street northwest, Special holiday prices on dress goods are bulletinedby Hexny Srraspuncer, dry goods and carpet dealer, 820 7th street northwest. ‘The special sale of cloaks and wraps at reduced prices, begun last Saturday, will be continued. ‘The managers of the Boy Marcug, 316 7th street northwest, announce, in the midst of the holiday rush, an’ unprecedented cut in prices in order to reduce their stock. Whe greatest reductions, they state, are made in the goods which are especially sought at this season, dolls, plush boxes, brass and leather goods, handkerchiefs, jewelry, umbrel Christmas cards and Christmas novelties of all kinds. There are some folks who prefer imported goods to those of domestic manufacture for reasons that vary, and to such as these Messrs, Wiaarta & Epuoxstox make the announce- ment that they have opened a large stock im- ported from the Worcester Royal Porcelain company, among which may be found some exquisite bits that may serve for appropriate Christmas gifts. The prices are wonderfully low. Other importations are arriving daily. Who would despise a bargain at this time of year? The question needs no answer, and so everybody should go to the great bankrupt sale of clothing that is now in progress at 912 F street, where goods are being sacrificed in order to get them out of the way. As the sale Sudden Death of a Government Clerk. ROBERT P. BARBOUR A VICTIM OF HEART DISEASE. Mr. Robert P. Barbour. a clerk in the Second Anditor’s office, died suddenly in Shoomaker's restaurant last evening. He went there early in the evening and met some friends, with whom he conversed some time. There was crowd of persons in the saloon, discussing poli- tics and the holidays. Barbour had but little tosay. After being seated at one of the tables for more than an bour he arose and took aseat nearer the stove. He sat there a lot time, apparently asleep. One of his friends dropped in during the evening, and, seeing Barbour, he suggested to the bartender that some one take his watch and chain from him for safekeeping. This the bartender declined to do, saying he did not care to put his hands in anybody's ‘ket. The bartender then 1 to the Riend that he relieve Barbour of his valuables, but the latter gave the same reason for not wanting to do so. Barbour sat so long without moving that the bartender walked over to arouse him, and much to his surprise discov- ered that Barbour was dead. Physicians were sent for. Drs. Neale and Leach were the first to respond. They examined the body, and were of the opinion ‘hat Barbour had been dead some time. Heart disease, they thought, was the cause of death. Dr. Hartigan soon arrived, and gave permission for the removal of the body, which was turned over to friends of the | deceased, and conveyed to Gawler’s undertak- ing establishment. Barbour was about fifty ears old. He came here from Michigan, where he was well-known in Masonic circles. After being jogos burial. the body was re- aoe to the residence of Dr. R. H. Evans, 1819 T street northwest. Dr. Evans’ wife is a sister of the deceased. ee The Bail Offered for De Hughes. If Is INSUFFICIENT AND JUDGE MONTGOMERY DE- CLINES TO REDUCE TRE AMOUNT BEOUIRED. In the Criminal Court yesterday, as stated in ‘Tux Star, Judge Walker presented as bail for Marion D. Newman, alias De Hughes, charged with obtaining money by false pretenses, an old colored man named Addison Smith, Later in the day a certificate that the property was assessed at €700 was presented, but the court decided that it was not enough. Judge Walker then asked that the bail be reduced. The court said the question should be as to securing the appearance of the party, and asked as to his career. Mr. Lipscomb answered that he was one of the greatest scoundrels who had ever been in this city, and gave a sketch of his career, say- ing he had three wives and had advertised for a wife here. Mr, Walker claimed that his client had been slandered, and the statements made were false, as they would be able to show. Miss Smith had stated to him (Walker) that she was forced to give her testimony. fudge Montgomery declined to reduce the —-__ Not So Much of a Joke for Smith. THE NEGRO WHO SLASHED THE GUESTS AT MRS. JONES’ “PARLOR SOCIAL.” Mrs. Jones, colored, who keeps an eating- house on 6th street southwest, gave a “parlor social” last night, and when the guests had as- sembled and were enjoying themselvesa young negro named Arthur Smith entered. His com- pany was not desired, and he was told to close the door from the outside. This he refused to do, An attempt was made to oust him, but he objected and showed fight. Before leaving the house he succeeded in Petey eee Corbin, Bertha Harris, and Angeline Harris. He then left the house and was arrested by Officers San- ford and Williams. This morning, when the case was tried in the Police Court, the wit- nesses testified that the ae was done with arazor. The prisoner thought he had a good joke on them when he laughed and took from — be over in eight days there is no time to eC.

M ———— Chinese Family Quarrels. PEOPLE WITH GRIEVANCES GO OUT IN THE STREET AxD HOWL. ‘From the North China Herald. Among # population of such unexplained density, where families of great size are crowded together—three or four generations, with all the wives and children, under one roof—occasions for quarrels are all pervasive. The sons’ wives children are prolific sources of domestic unpleasantness. Each wife strives tomake her husband feel that in the community of ee he is the one who is worsted; the elder wife tyranizes over the younger ones, and the latter rebel. in- stinct of the westerner with a grievance is to get it redressed straightway; that of the Ori- ental is, first of all, to let the world at large know that he hasa grievance.

A postscript on the dispatch an- nounced that the consul wrote im haste in order to catch the outgoing ship, and had she returned he would have undoubtedly taken ad- vantage of the fact to send additional infor- mation. In view of these facts, therefore, it would seem as though the graphic description Of the bombardment, which obtained such « wide publication yesterday morning, was an imaginative invention of some passenger on board the Saginaw. THE ACTION OF THE CONSUL#—THERE WAS NO BLOCKADE. a The consyl has also transmitted a copy of a certificate, dated November 27, signed by the consuls of Austria, Italy, Sweden and Nor- way, Denmark, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Do- minican Republic, and the United States, at Cape Haytian, to the effect that thet port has never been effectively blockaded since October 28, when a Haytian war steamer came in sight for the of blockading. They ther state that no steamer had been stationed off that port, according to the pre- scription of maritime international law, but das always been cruising from there to Fort Liberty and beyond, which was not considered an efficient blockade, but it nevertheless in- terfered with the legitimate trade of neutral owing toa notice sent by the authorities a Port-au-Prince to this government that they had blockaded the port of “ye ap ime Since the 23d of November to the date of the certifi- cate no blockading vessel had been seen in those waters.

Dissecting the Dead Elephant. ‘The work of removing the skin from the re- mainsof Big Chief. the elephant strangledat the winter quarters of Adam Forepaugh, at Phila- delphia, several days ago, was commenced by C. E. Mirquet, taxidermist, of Rochester, yes- terday, in the yard in the rear of the biological department of the University of Pennsylvania. Several barrels of embalming fluid were in- jected into the carcass after the body had been raised in the air by tackle suspended from a big cross-bar. A shed will be constructed over the body, and after the skinning process is completed the work of dissection will be com- menced. It is thought that about three months will be occupied in cutting the carcass up, and it will be fully two years before a report of the observations will be made by the staff of sur- geons who are to conduct the operations. As the dissection progresses, drawings will be made of the different parts, and the skeleton will be joined and set up in the college mu- seum. ———_—_~+e+-______ How She Found Her. From the San Francisco Chronicle. ‘There is a very charming actress on the stage whose husband, being a handsome leading man, is naturally supposed to be up to a great many flirtations. She is one of those bright, witty women of the world who are rare. She has chil- dren, and is devoted to them and to her hus- band: She calls the children acts, and when she wants them to go to bed she says: “Come, time to ring down, little acts.” The company was piaying in an eastern town, and the pupils of some dramatic school had volunteered for supers. Among them were some very pretty girls of good families, and, of course, ie teadane leading man was accused of flirting. They were chafiing about it one evening at supper after the performance, and one young lady of the company ventured to suggest that acertain young pupil among the supers was the one who was most in love with him. “Cold!” said the leading man’s wife. Then she began quietly guying each one of the young lady supers separately. She had me through four or five without a word from fos hasten’, when os che begnnion anew one, he looked up and said: “Now, my dear, you are talking nonsense.” “There,” she said, pointing her finger at him, “I know the woman; I thought I'd find out.” witha wei hs Crude Petroleum for Locomotive Fuel. From the Pittsburg Times. ‘That crude petroleum would some day be- come one of the great fuels of the world there has not been much reason to doubt since- ex- periments in that line were first attempted. While these attempts have been more or less unsuccessful, something has been learned every time. If the statement that on one of the Ohio railroads a few days since a success- ful test with a locomotive (86 miles for 45 cents) was made is correct, the success of pe- troleum as fuel is at hand. Similar experi- ments have for some time been making in dif- ferent quarters of the world where oil is abund- ant. It is understood that the tests which were rosecuted on the Pennsylvania railroad some Time ago were abandoned because it was found that oil was more expensive than coal. The Ohio test seems to have abundantly disproved this. We shall wait for more about this test with no ordinary interest. ————-<e——___ Facts About Emin Pasha. ‘BIS REMARKABLE ACQUAINTANCE WITH RELIGIONS AND LaNGUAGES. From the St. James’ Gazette. Some government officials who were formerly engaged in Constantinople remember to have seen Emin Pasha there. They narrate that he was concerned in a harem plot, or some similar scheme, and lost through it a high position, and was compelled to seek safety in flight. That Emin is of Jewish origin is regarded as cer- tain, both on ss and other grounds—among them being his intimate ac- quaintance with Oriental languages. ‘A person who was very intimate with him was never able to discover Emin’s religion. Protestant or Catholic might take him for one of their own church, for he was equally well conversant with the beliefs and religious obli- gations of both. Tg the Moslem he wouid quote the Koran, to the Jew the Talmud, and he showed familiarity with all their customs and practices. He could never be brought, however, to confess his own religious convic- tions—no; not even by his most intimate friend in Africa, Consul Hansal. Emin’s linguistic equipment fitted him admirably for his work of exploration. The languages of which he is master are: German, English, French, Span- ish, Italian, Greek (some say also Polish and Russian), Turkish, Persian, Arabic, Amharic, and various negro dialects. oe Kentucky Ideas are Changing.

An indignant citizen of Lexington went to the Transcript office, abused the local editor, Mr. Moore, and struck him in the face, The latter, being a stronger man than his assail- ant, simply caught the angry individual by th wrist one ‘im till hs cooled down. * the next day the newspaper man wrote statement about the Bftair, saying: oes “I did what for years I have fea to school myself to doif the occasion ever offered.
