As Christmas day approeches the business streets grow more lively in appearance and sidewalks and stores are crowded with shop- pers. The people of Washington sre favored not only by having unusually fine stores in which to do their purchasing but also by hay- ing this year most inviting weather for shop- ping expeditions. The advertising columns of Tur Sran greatly assist those intending to make purchases by informing them where goods of fine quality can be bought at reason- able prices. Asa further assistance Tue Star publishes from day to day notices of mercan- tile establishments where one can be sure of finding satisfactory goods and prices, 1102 New York avenue is a good place to visit before buying your presents. Beautiful fancy work in embroidery and hand painting answers every purpose as a Christmas present, and any amount of pretty things in this lige can be seen by a call at this establishment. ' Smithfield hams are world renowned and Buvas & Buos., at 608 Pennsylvania avenue, is the place to find them, besides everything else mentionable in the line of groceries. If you are going to buy presents for friends who are honsekeeping youcan find lots of beautiful and useful things at 911 Pennsylvania avenue, Banner 2nd Ross have displayed there one of the largest and most attractive stocks of brass goods, fenders, andirous, fire sets, tables, easels, Kc, Years ago these goods were exalted a8 to their prices and but few could afford to purchase them. Now they are within the reach of persons whose means are only moder- ate. Decorated candles and shades—-eminently seasonable—are for sale at cost. Jewelry always proves acceptable as a Christ- mas gift and very acceptable jewelry can be found just now at the manufacturing establish- ment of S. Des1o, 439 Ninth street. The prices are reasonable and the assortment varied. Special inducements are offered in diamonds and watches, Everything is guaranteed to be satisfactory. Bropxeap & Co.s, in the Masonic Temple building, is one of those places where you can buy a present which will suit almost any kind of individual. Dress goods of all descriptions and table linen are prominent in the stock. Gentlemen's outfits are also there in great variety. Christmas groceries are now all the rage for everybody that can eat and that has the means with which to purchase edibles indulges in lit- tle treats at this season. W. H. H. Cissen of 1014 7th street proclaims his ability to supply all comers with the luxuries which mark Christ- mas in many ahome. Cheapness and a reliable grade of goods go together at this establish- ment, so the proprietor says. One visit will confirm his claims. Dyspeptic attacks are not uncommon about Christmas time and a good deal of suffering ensues, because people do not know where to look for the proper remedy. Itis in testimony and on record that Pror. Coox’s Baum or Lire isasurecure. Other ailments yield readily to this great remedial agent, which is a success, both internally and externally. Lots of fami- lies in this city would not be without it.

Sinciuron of 415 7th street, and the offer remains open until January 1.

Buum's, at 745 and 747 8th street south- east, advertises an immense holiday assort- ment of men’s neckwear. The newest patterns in thoroughly reliable material at low prices. The little ones could find few places in which they would be more interested than the toy department of Kavrman’s Dovsie Comut- NATION Stone at 1241 and 1243 Eleventh street southeast, There is the greatest profusion of toys and picture books at the lowest of prices. There are lots of other presents in that big store. A visit will reveal many of them. The home is brightened up with plants and flowers and these decorative adjuncts are cially appropriate to the holiday season. Mr. N. Sruver, the florist at 717 15th street north- west, makes a specialty of furnishing decorative = for the holidays. You can obtain them y the month or for the season. He has, be- sides, a large variety of choice cut flowers, which he cultivates at his nursery in Anacostia, There are men engaged in the manufacture of candy who are celebrated because of the purity and excellence of the product of their establishments. Such makers as Maillard, Whitman and Kidley attain great reputations, and Mr. C. C. Bayan, the grocer, 1413 New York avenue, keeps a special line of’ these can- dies on hand, He finds thatit is a convenience to his customers and saves them extra steps, A full variety of new nuts, choice fruits, figs, dates, &c., can be found at the stands of S. Gatti & Soy in the Center market. They have all kinds of pretty baskets, and one of these baskets tastefully filled with an assortment from their stock will make a Christmas present that will prove attractive and acceptable. A place to buy cheap candies as well candies of a good quality is at Grupr’s, 1810 7th street northwest. The prices of mixed candies range from 9 cents to 25 cents per pound, and there is no reason why every child shoyld not have a piece of candy on Christmas, The wise house keeper knows all about R. A. Goxpes’s fish and game stands in Center mar- ket She knows that Le has the juicy Pennsyl- vania tuckers und the delicious Potomac river canvass-back ducks, besides red heads and mal- | lards, Then he has salmon freshly caught, live | lobsters and diamond-back terrapin and other choice table articles.

The morning game will be of especial local interest, as the the Kendall team ranks high. Two of the Kendall team who were in the team that played against the Princetons attracted general attention by their quick and strong play. For the aftcrnoon game the best material will be selected from the Duponts, Kendalls, Orients and Georgetowns. The cadets have a rattling good team They are not allowed to play often away from Annapolis, and efforts had to be made to get Permission from the Secretary of the Navy efore this match for Christmas could be arranzed. The cadets, by reason of their playing so much by themiclves, have devel- oped many interesting tricks of play that other foot ball teams know nothing of. The cadets play a wonderfully quick and sharp game. ey will come over from Annapolis Christmas morn- ing and return in the evening after the game.

Chu Fong Secures $30,000 by Means of Forged Checks. The firm of Kwong Hong Long, 5 Mott street, New York, Chinese importers, of which the Chinese defaulter, Chew Fong, was a partner and acting cashier and interpreter, was put under the charge of a sheriff by some of Chu Fong’s victims Saturday, and almost simulta- neously the Mausingson Japanese store at 813 Broadway was attached tothe amount of $9,000 by several American creditors of the absconded manager, The firm of Kwong Hong Long was made the indorser of all of Chu Fong's notes and forged checks, the poor English signatures of the firm being imitated very easily by the forger. The banks which paid these checks were the Bowery, National and Oriental, The combined interest of Chu Fong in both of the — not amount to 24,000 and his liabili- ties have thus far been footed up to over $27,000. He is a Christianized Chinaman. ‘The story of his running away with an American girl isnow denied, but instead he hadsimply swindled the young woman’s father out of several thou- sand dollars of borrowed money. According to Chinese law a blood reiative is responsible for the debts of another. Mr. Chu Fong Wing, the head of the Kwong Hong Long firm, is an uncle of the defaulter, and the Chinese victims of the latter all look to him for compensation. ———s00 Why Powderly Was Not Arrested. Constable Washabaugh of Greensburg ar- rived in Scranton, Pa., Saturday with a war- rant for the arrest of General Master Work- man Powderly of the Knights of Labor on an alleged charge of conspiracy, preferred by Ed- ward Callahan of Scottdale. His arrival was unheralded and he did not even call at police headquarters but went directly to the office of Alderman Fuller with his warrant from the Greensburg justice and asked that Mr. Fuller indorse it. The latter examined the document carefully and refused to accede to the Greens- burg constable’s request, on the ground that no crime was alleged in the warrant. Washa- baugh demurred, and Alderman Fuller, in order to satisfy him, requested him to accom- pany him before President Judge Archibald that his opinion might be obtained. Judge Archibald coincided with Alderman Fuller, and moreover advised the constable not to attempt anarrest on the warrant. Washabaugh then left town, presumably. for Greensburg. Mr. Powderly has submitted all the corre- a between Callahan, at whose instance he warrant was issued charging him with con- spiracy, and himself to his attorneys, O'Brien and Kelly, and proceedings against the Scott- dale statesman will be instituted at once. eshte moa Mr. Cleveland and Cornell.
