The stores and shops are now at their pret- tiest. Enterprise is showing itself in the be@u- tiful stock with which the merchants are fill- ing their shelves, and, more particularly, in the temptingly low prices at which they are marking their goods. It isa buying season and the shrewd merchant realizes the fact and takes advantage of it. The advertising col- umns of Tz Star furnish an efficient guide to the state of the market, what is to be found there and what bargains to search for. In order to facilitate the efforts of the present seekers in their anti-Christmas ramblings and | to afford an accurate index of the maze of ad- rtisements Tuk Stan presents herewith, as it will continue todo throughout the prelimi- nary season, brief synopses of what they con- in.

At a meeting of the board of managers of the Charity Organization Society, held in the Spen- cerian College parlors Tuesday night, Mr. A. 8.

The truth is these families are better off when the criminal isin the jail or work house, as he is the heaviest burden the family has to carry. ‘The secretary gave several histories of chronic beggars, old and young, who started out as soon as the snow eame to beg their win- ter's supply of coal. A report from Mr. Ke logg. secretary of the New York city Churi Orgunization Society, was quoted declaring that only 6 per cent of those who ask for reliet need it, and these were alms house cases who should not be permitted to beg, but should be required to accept the more humane provision made for them within doors. There is no ex- cuse for street begging. A large amount of work in the direction of systematizing charity was divided among the managers present. Eight Tickets for 25 Cents. To the Ealitor of The Evening Star: ‘The House has approved a clause in the Dis- trict bill requiring street railroad companics to sell eight tickets for 25 cents. As a fight is likely to be made over this clause in the Sen- ate, it might be well to discuss its effects if it becomes alaw. Such a cheapening of tickets would no doubt induce everybody to ride oftener than they now do, and many people who do not now ride would then ride. It would tend to develop and spread the riding habit. People would take cars to go short dis: tances where they row walk. Many who now consider themselves too poor to ride would then get into the habit of riding. It is there- fore probable that the increased trafic this cheapening of fares would eanse would more than compensate the railway companies for the reduced price per fare, and tvat their aggre- gute receipts would be much greater than they now are. It would also have the effect of dif- fusing land values, as it would give cheaper ac- cess to outlying lands and thereby increase the demand for their improvement. It is urged by some that cheaper fares benefit the poorer classes. ‘This is disputed by political econo- mists. Those whose wages are fixed would no doubt derive some temporary benefit, but as the tendency would be to increase the demand for land and thereby to increase land valnes— which is a practical building higher of the wall which keeps labor out of the field of prodac- tion—the ultimate effect would no doubt be to increase competition among luborers, which woul lower wages. Therefore, it street cars were to run free, instead of being « permanent benefit to the poor it would finally injure them. ‘The only class that benefit by such facts is the landlord class. It is a shame that this is so, but it is a fact. C. B. Heminaway. ee gees A Verdict for $300 Damages. In the Circuit Court yesterday the case of Jabez B.
