Japanese and Turkish Goods At 25 Per Cent Discount. You know the difference between a bona fide 25 per cent discount and the dubious claim that goods are marked 25, 33 or 50 per cent less than formerly, We repeat our former announcement below, because it has been so pleasant @ surprise to so many patrons and caused competitors to follow with rival claims that if not convincing were at least amusing: “Whether you sclect one of our Se Curios from Japan or one of the §500 Carpets from Turkey, or any of the thousands of articles at the hundreds of between prices, you may claim in every instance 25 per cent discount— one-quarter off marked prices. Investigation will prove to you that no other two establishments have such a collection as here, and that goods elsewhere are not marked at as low prices. Japanese Vases, etc., are on first floor ‘Turkish Draperies, ete., are on second floor, Rugs and Carpets are on fourth * floor—three departments are necessary for this unmatched collection of Ori- ental goods."” See These Scarfs for Men. Stop at the table to right of G street entrance and look over the Scarfs offered at 25¢ for cholce...... You'll find many that are made of Silks nud Satins of quality usually seen only in 50c Scarfs. The explanation:— ‘The season is over with the maker and he was willing to make up the bal- ance of his unused Silks and charge us the price usually asked for his cheap- est goods,—so you get for 25c each Scarfs made of Silks that have been used in We, Be, 50c, Ge and T5e Scarfs.

A Meeting That Failed to Oome Of Last Right Real Estate Movements of Late—Pleas- ant Social Affair at Tenleytown Notes of Interest. There was to have been a citizens’ meet- ing in Tenleytown last night, but on ac- count of, the failure of the janitor of the | Public hall to show up and open the doors | the secretary, treasurer,chairman and other officers, together with those who intended \ to air their grievances, were forced to wan- | der back individually to their respective homes and talk to their wives and other members of the family upon what the place is entitled to and what it doesn’t get. Be- fore the separation took place, however, it was agreed to call a meeting for the second Monday in January. On that occasion the speeches intended for last night will be given, with new strength and reinforce- ments. The need of lights and sidewalks, which the citizens have been steadily fighting for, was practically shown last night. Not only did The Star reporter incase his legs in a rich, soggy mud cast, but bumped his vis- age three times against the unseen trolley poles that stood in the middle of the road. Playing Policy. “The policy evil in Georgetown,” said Lieut. Swindells to The Star, “has been eliminated, to the best of our knowledge and belief. Some of those who live in the West End may still play, but they go to Rosslyn to do it. The penalty is too severe | Wil to admit of profit to the promoters of the vice, and they no longer sneak among the homes of the lower class with their indeli- ble pencils and impressionable paper. Once in a while we detect a man going across the Aqueduct bridge with a curious assort- mént of humbers in his possession, but they are so arranged that we could never use them against him as evidence of pol- icy writing. At almost any time of the day, though, crowds of may be seen in Rosslyn looking up into the clouds in the hope of seeing some lucky numbers appear but even they are thinning out, and if the is continued the game will eventually become, in this sec- tion at least, only a dream. To acknowl- edge in Georgetown that you play policy is to acknowledge that you are a law- breaker one of the lowest of humanity, for only thé scum indulge in it now.” Real Estate. William Wheatley has sold to John E. Beall, for $1,900, part of lot 5, Beatty and Hawkins’ addition, being a one-eighth in- terest in the three-story new bricks on the east side of 82d street between N street |and Dumbarton avenue, subject to trust, land Ella C. Middleton has sold to Fannie C. Bradley, for $1,500, the south part of lot 7 of the recently laid-out tract Woodley. A Pleasant Time. The beautiful home of Mr. John D. Scho- field, jr., at Tenleytown, was thronged last evening with numerous guests in honor of his twenty-eighth birthday. The interior |decorations were very effective and pleasing and were in harmony with the grace and smiles of those present. Many interesting james were indulged in, among which may |be mentioned the “tailless donkey.” At a jtate hour the guests were ushered into the dining room, where a bounteous repast was |served, after which all retired, with many kind wishes for the welfare of their host \@nd hostess. Among those present were Mr. anu Mrs. John D. Schofield, sr, Mr. and Mrs. George E. Howard, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. £. Paxton, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas M. Bowl- |ing, Mr. and Mrs. John Poore, Mr. and Mrs. |Thomas M. Crown, Mr. and Mrs. George {Hi4weit, Rev. R. K, Lewis, the Misses Min- jnfe Wise, Sarah Howard, Ida Bean, Annie Blanche Crown, Ida McKenney, Cora Bowling, Mabel Crown, Schofield, Charles Scho- - Sergeon, Edward A. Reid, Wm. Fay, Frank Crown and Harry Crown. Improving Streets. The $30,000 which the Commissioners have requested to be made available at once for t= improvement of streets, with the pri- | mary object in view of giving work to many of the unemployed laborers, is to be speat entirely in Washington, it is said. This the Georgetowners are objecting to strenuously. The most urgent need of street improve. ments, they say, is in Georgetown. Prospect street between 30th and 38th is in a deplora- | ble condition and should be among the first | thoroughfares considered. “Georgetown.” they say, “does not want it all; she only | wants an equitable share.” Notes. A small boy, named Charles Padget, was ] knocked down yesterday by a wagon driven | by Mr. Chas. P. Merkel and rendered un- conscious for some time. Dr. Parker ap- plied restoratives. The accident occurred | at_the corner of 35th and O streets. | The condition of the cattle market yes- terday was good. Beef, lamb and veal sold | for usual prices. | ———-_ |Jumior Christian Endeavor Anniver- | a | The Metropolitan Baptist Church, corner of Gth and A strects northeast, was crowd- ed to overflowing last night, the occasion _being the anniversary meeting of the Junior Society of Christian Endeavor, and the en- \tertainment given was one of the most (Successful and largely attended ever held in the church. The program was a varied one, consist- ing of many good things, rendered by mem- bers of the church and outside talent. The jevening concluded with a bountiful supply jof ice cream and cake. Each one who came was requested to bring a bag containing 1 cent for each |year of his age, the collection to go toward the fund for the sufferers of East Wash- ington. The committee on arrangements was com- |posed of Julien T. Cockerille, superin- tendent; Grace E. Mills, assistant superin- tendent; Harvey Woodington, Lida Fraser, Eddie Davis, Edna Dyre, Wallace Kirby and | Bessie Hamilton. —_o—___ Marriage Licenses.
