BALTIMORE ST., BALTIMORE, MD. te CHRISTMAS THOUGHTS ‘That Are of Interest to People Who Are Shopping. There is hardly any excuse for not know- ing what to buy for Christmas, because those who have suitable and desirable arti- cles for sale publish the fact in The Star. Then all these are presented to the readers in such a toothsome shape that they can’t help reading them and enjoying themselves as they read, besides getting lots of sug- gestions. In addition to publications here- tofore made The Star presents the follow- ing notes of interest to Christmas shoppers: One hears much about “sales” and “bar- gain days” during these times when every purchaser is on the keenest watch for re- ductions and every shopkeeper is on the alert for custom. But it is not every day that there comes the word of a “sale” that means something. This is the kind of “sale” that is now in progress at the London Bazar, 715 Pennsylvania avenue, where there are some wonderful cuts in the regu- lar prices that will gladden the hearts of the Christmas buyer. All millinery, for in- stance, Is going at fifty cents on the dollar. The slaughter in capes and cloaks and other heavy goods is appalling. The secret of it is that a merchant who Is retiring from busi- ness let the Bazar have his entire sample line of cloaks at a third of the regular rate. Leather is being utilized this year in many more ways than were ever dreamed of be- fore. It is done up into the most attractive as well as the most useful articles, that fur- nish a vast field for the taste and judgment of the Christmas present seeker. Kneessi, at 425 7th street, publishes occasionally a Ust of things that can be found in the way of leather at his establishment. These lists are astonishingly varied, and have been a source of great comfort to the worried hunt- ers among the counters. He is making a specialty this season of putting the name | of the purchaser, or the person who 13 to get the gift, on the articles, without charge. This forms a pleasant surprise sometimes. The boys are more to be considered at this time of year than any one else, save, perhaps, the girls, for their needs at Christ- mas are so peculiar. What to give the little fellows is a question that can be answered by few so readily and satisfactorily as M. A.Tappan, 1013 Pennsylvania avenue, where there is a world of wonderful things to amuse and instruct and delight the young men—steam toys, railroads, skates, sleds, parlor billiard tables, knives, magic lanterns, printing presses, games—Oh! it’s uselss to enumerate. Suffice it to say that Tappan knows what the coming generation neeis and wants, and hi acked his store with the very things you are after for them. While you are buying the presents you must not forget the Christmas dinner. That is an important function on that great day, and it will be utterly spoiled if you have not some good butter on your table. George M. Oyster, jr., is just the man to help you out in this matter. ie has the adquarters for the Sharpless’ celebrated rint,” and also for the “Elgin Creamery,” and he is charging the lowest prices for both of these standard brands. He may be reached by telephone number 1230, or orders may be sent to his stalls at the Center Market and the Riggs Market. What is Christmas without Huyler’s? It would prove a hollow mockery to many, who think that life would scarcely be worth liv- ing were it not for the splendid productions of this great establishment. A fancy basket of Huyler’s, done in the latest style, makes an unexceptional present to a lady at this season. Out-of-town orders are carefully filled. Just look over the prices of P. R. Wilson of 934 7th street northwest if vou wish to be gladdened by the array of low rates for Christmas table supplies that he has ranged forth. Twelve pounds of fresh French car dy for a dollar! Fight pounds of mixed new nuts for a dollar! And so it goes. These are only samples. A good cup of Chocolat Menier on Christ- mas morning will make one fee! ready for the fatigues of that exciting day. Go to Geo. E. Kennedy & Sons’, 1200 F street, and | 1116 Connecticut avenue, and quaff a cup that will convince you that it is the best thing in the world as a meal-time Yeverage. There are some excellent presents for the men folks to be found at Sickles’, 1011 Penn- sylvania avenue, in the way of cigars and tobacco and fancy cases. He is making a specialty of holiday presents. Mr. Hahn, the proprietor of several shve stores in convenient portions of the city, suggests that he is having “a three days’ round-up” of toilet slippers at his stores. A “round-up” is a western phrase and means the bunching or gathering together of cattle from the different portions of the ranch, preparatory to driving them to the market for sale or shipment. Now, that is what Mr. Hahn is doing. He is rounding up those slippers and is going to make a “drive” in them in order to get them on the Christmas market. Speaking of shoes, recalls the offer made by Mr. Moore, the proprietor of “King’s Palace Shoe Store,” 810 7th street. Mr. Moore says that he has received a numb« of art souvenirs, which he proposes to dis- tribute among his customers. He adver- tises shoes for sale at very low prices. You can get @ pair of ladies’ shoes for $1.08, a pair of men’s for the same and a pair of boys’ for ¥8 cents. This store is open in the evenings for the convenience of shop- pers, and tomorrow night will be open until 11 o'clock to accommodate the crowds at- tracted by the bargains. Clothing is always a suitable present, always in order, and a new suit of clothes is usually a_ mighty acceptable gift to a boy. While Robinson, Chery & Co. have old men’s, yong men’s and middle-aged men’s clothing, they also carry a large stock of boys’ and youths’ sarmo it is worth while to visit this store. ‘There are ample floor space, polite clerks and an elevator to the upper floors. As soon es you enter you feel that you are in the hands of men of experience, who know what they are talking about when they speak of clothes. Stores may come and stores may go, new dealers spring up, flourish for a season and then pass away, but there are some stores that siay forever. To the latter class belongs King’s Palace, $10 to Sli 7th street, that old reliable and long-esta! lished stand that comes up smiling every year with new bargains and new attrac- tions. It is said that eternal vigilance 1s | the price of liberty. Then it must be true | that constant watchfulness is the price of popularity. King’s Palace is always waten- ful of its customers’ needs, watchful of the market, ready to seize every bargain at the factory, so that low prices and good | goods may be given its customers. So much | 3 Palace in general. As 10 King’s just glance over the ad- self. Prices talk louder t words. S the quotations on coats, wraps and mi nery, and you will appreciate the effor King’s Palace in the line of substantial | goods and popular prices. Know Grasty? Who is he? Why, man who sells furniture, carpet i glass and tin ware, and about everything | else in these lines that you need, for cash. Where {s he located? At 1510-12’ 7th street northwest. If you wish to save money, and | of course you do, call upon Grasty. At the sign of—“The Old Woman in the Shoe.” That is, Hellbrun & Co., 402 7th street. A thousand pounds of fine candies will be distributed among the patrons of their well-known footwear establishment during the holidays. That is a great in-} ducement in itself, but the fact that every | purchaser will obtain the very best goods at the lowest prices is a much greater in- ducement. j At Walford’s, 477 Pennsylvania avenue, a very large and elegant stock of solid | silver spoons, bracelets, thimbles and plated | ware is spread before purchasers of holiday goods. An excellent stock of the finest wines and Iqiuors is offered by Metzger’s Whole- sale and Retail Grocery, 317 7th street, and pure old rye whisky, four years old, is sold at 75 cents per quart. Ail other goods are equally as reasonable. There is nothing more appropriate and ac- ceptable as a Christmas offering than a fine picture. It is one which appeals to every taste. The Veerhoff galleries, 1217 F street, are making a special holiday dis- play of the most taking of etchings, en- gravings, paintings, water colors and simi- lar works of art, and present an inexhausti- ble stock, including the rarest productions | from the Berlin Photograph Company. A the specialty is made of picture frames and | hy fine gold furniture. Branches at 1221 sylvania avenue and 916 7th street. Mr. S. Desio, the manufacturing jeweler, of 1012 F street, has prepared a special price list for the holidays, and is selling the most exquisite articles of jewelry, silver | ware, tollet and household articles at prices | which place them within the reach of every seeker of real bargains. Mr. Desio’s stock is so complete that father, mother, sister, brother, wife, husband, sweetheart, and, indeed, every one, can be provided for from the thcusand and one pretty and Penn- H | Tree Ornaments, A won-der-ful variety.

Duvall agt. useful Mr, Desio manufactures his own purchasers are enabled to save thereby from 25 to 50 per cent on every article That is a great inducement,and when it is remembered that every article is really a work of the very finest work- manship, the inducement is one which should not be neglected. Among practical and substantial holiday gifts there are few that give such real satis- faction as those in the hardware line, At Chas. T. Carter & Co.'s, 606 Pennsylvania avenue, there is a full collection of such articles, carving sets, razora, tool chests, skates and sleds that will richly repay a visit of inspection. ‘The Kolb Pharmacy, A. Nattans, proprie- tor, at 7th and # streets, is one of the lead- ing places in town for holiday gifts in the way of toilet articles, manicure sets, per- fumes and matters of that sort at reason- able prices. Small boys and large men, and all the sizes that come between, can be fitted out in admirable style with suits and overcoats at tne old established but ever popular store of biseman sros., ith and # streets. Articles of personal use and adornment are sure to make welcome Christmas pres- ents, and here they may be had at prices that are saustactory. Parker, Bridget & Co., the clothiers at 815 7th street, make a specialty of boys’ garments at reasonable prices, and for this Treason it is one of the most popular places in town in the closing up of the merry and busy holiday shopping season. Their reefer jackets are among the neatest and timeliest creations of the season, at prices that put them within the reach of all. It is very gratifying for women of fashion in Washington to realize that there is in this city every opportunity for getting styl- ish and proper gowns on the latest modeis from Paris. Among the local modistes none has a stronger hold on popular favor than Mrs. K. A. Donovan, 904 F street, whose frequent trips to Europe keep her in touch with the latest in women’s styles. At Hudson’s Variety Store, 912 7th street, there is a perfectly bewildering display of articles appropriate for the holiday season. There are handsome lamps, china and housefurnishings for grown-up people, while for the little ones there are dolls of all sorts, toys of every imaginable sort and tree ornaments that will come in handy in decking out that greatest of children’s de- things to be found in his stock. As goods, If you are thinking of buying some rel- ative or friend anything in the way of fur- niture it will be well worth your while to make a call at G. Breitbarth’s big store, | 515 7th street, where everything in the wa! of bed room and parlor suites, sideboards, tables and couches is on sale at bedrock prices, For people who live up in the northwest section of the city and do not care to come down town a convenient place to do holiday opping is at Brodhead & Co.’s big double stores, 1819 and 1821 14th street. This house was for many years on F street, and has a firmly established place in the hearts of the buying public as a dry goods establishment | of the highest standing. Among the solid and substantial firms of | the city that can always be depended upon for reliability is that of W. D. Clark & Co., 807 to 811 Market space. This firm carries a large stock of ladies’ wraps and coats. The variety is endless, the styles are cor- rect and the prices are popular. It’s a good | time to buy wraps now. Washington gets its severest weather during January, Feb- | ruary and March, and if you haven't a good | wrap now is the time to look over Clark's stock and compare his prices. For the dainty muffins or biscuits that you will want for your Christmas break- fast, and for the bread and cake and pies that will go with the bigger spread at din- ner, nothing would be more to the liking of the good housekeeper and provider than the famous “Cream Blend” flour, which is said to be the only recognized blended flour on the market. A trial will convince the most skeptical that it is all it claims to be. B. B. Earnshaw & Bro. are the wholesale dealers in this flour, but it Is for sale by dozens of the leading grocers and general dealers in all sections of the city, as anyone may see by consulting the ad- vertising columns of The Star. At the Great Atlantic and Pactfic Tea Company, corner of 7th and E streets, there are numerous pretty things to be had a: the purchasers select their teas and coffees and sugars. Sometimes some useful arti- cles may be had as gifts. A pair of spectacles or eye glasses will be a good present for father or mother. Go to | the Voigt Jewelry Co., 713 7th street, and see the beautiful articles for $2.25, in solid gold, that are selling elsewhere for $4. Save your pennies and then scan the price list of Garden's Market, 633 B street southeast, which contains some astonish- ingly low rates for provisions of all kinds. Pennies saved are greatly to be desired in these times. S. Heller of 720 7th street is making just now a specialty in cutting the hair of la- dies and children. His shampooing is scientific and cures dandruff every time. Pay him a call. where is a great deal of stuff in the way of furniture being sold just now that is built to sell, and not to last. Low prices in some places should create suspicion, but not at Rudden’ This enterprising merchant, known to the trade and custom as “The Accommodator,” is making a specialty of good stuff that sells at a low rate, but that will give satisfaction in the weeks and months and years to come. If there is any- | thing in this line that is wanted Rudden is the man to see. He is at 513 7th street. He | does a great business in time payments at | bottom prices.

Two Thousand Armed Men lalu Awaiting the Philadel; From the New York Sun. A private letter from Honolulu, written just before the steamer Mariposa sailed on the afternoon of December 14, says: “The first excitement caused by the re- ceipt of the Gresham letter was exceeded today when it became known that the reve- nue cutter Corwin had arrived early in the morning, and that the captain had taken a bulky package of dispatches direct to Minister Willis’ houge. The royalists, who have been very down-hearted,at once pluck- ed up spirits and declared that the dispatch of a special steamer meant nothing less than orders for the prompt restoration of the queen. “This seemed a rational theory and many annexationists feared that it would prove true; but luckily the Corwin brought also news that gave the provisional leaders fresh confidence. The very day the Corwin sailed President Cleveland's annual mes- sage was printed in the San Francisco af- ternoon newspapers and one copy was re- ceived here. The Star issued an extra con- taining the Presidents words on Hawaii, and this was the first intimation the gov- ernment had that Mr. Cleveland would re- fer to Congress the question of seating the queen should the provisional government re- fuse to step down and out. “The government was in executive session at the time, and as soon as this part of the oven gt was read an ultimatum was framed in which it declined to negotiate for the restoration of the crown and de- clared ‘that it would resist with military force any attempt to overthrow the gov- ernment. This ultimatum was signed and | sealed, ready to be dispatched to Minister | Willis the moment he should proceed to carry out his instructions in case they were of a belligerent character. “Meanwhile the streets were thronged with excited people eagerly awaiting a move cn the part cf the American minister. The dispatches had been sent aboard the Phila- delphia for translation of the cipher, but they were returned to Mr. Willis about noon. As the early hours of the afternoon wore away impatience increased. The roy- alists were full of importance, as they as- serted that they had secret advices from the queen's headquarters that she was to be restored that day. “President Dole felt the uncertainty keen- ly, and to provide for any emergency he is- sued orders to the Citizens’ League to be ready to respond to call. He declared posi- tvely that any attempt at restoration would be met with force, and if the pro- visional government had to go ander it would do so fighting for its rights. “Lookouts were posted to give warning of any preparation on the Philadelphia to land marines. Had any such attempt been made, Honolulu would at once have been placed under martial law. The 2,000 armed men under the government would have been Posted so as to command all the landings. ‘At 3:15 p.m., when the steamer mail closed, no word had been received from Mr. Willis. The provisional leaders began to breathe a little easier, but the royalists had lost none of their faith in immediate restor- ation. “The sentiment is growing in Honolulu that the formation of a republic is the only way out of the present difficulty. The ma jority of the annexationists are in favor of a government modeled on the American plan, with free suffrage for the election to the lower house and a property and educa- tional qualification for the upper house.” see DEATH OF MRS. WYCKOFF. The News of Her Decease in Califor- mia Received in This City. The news has been received in this city of the death, in Orange, Cal., on Wednes- day, of Mrs. Gertrude Wyckoff, the widow | of Ogden Wyckoff. Her death is a great shock to the large circle of her friends and acquaintances in this city. Only a few months ago Mrs. Wyckoff left this city, which has been her home for so many years, to make a new home in California, where her daughter's husband had gone for the benefit of his health. Letters have been re- ceived from her since her arrival there, but there was no intimatien of bad health. The blow is, therefore, a sudden one. Mrs. Wyc- kof€ was widely known here, where, in ad- dition to her home and church duties, she found time to interest herself in general works of charity. Her labors in behalf of the Newsboys’ Home and Aid Society, so unselfishly and freely given for years, will be remembered. She was a kind-hearted, active and successful worker in any cause that she became interested in and she had the confidence of many of those who have not the time to do charitable work them- selves, but give freely of their means. —o-___ Ives’ Proposition to Schaefer. Abraham Levy, a Chicago bookmaker, who backed Ives in the last match with Schaefer, has received a telegram from the “Young Napoleon” announcing that he had made a proposition to Schaefer for two games and asking Levy if he would stand by them. The offer was for two games, one at four- teen-inch balk line and the other at cushion caroms. The balk line game, with the anchor barred, is to be 3,000 points up, 600 points a night, for $2,500 a side. The other game is to be for $2,500 a side also, 400 Points up, one night's play. Ives has made the stipulation that the first the first in February and the second within a week after that. Levy telegraphed back that he would stand by any match Ives made. Levy said that he did not expect Schaefer to accept the terms. He thinks “the Wizard” is afraid that in the event of Ives winning he will take the first steamer for Europe and leave Schaefer with no one to play in this country. ———_+e-+_ The Reason McKnew's is Crowded. When such a reliable one-price house vertises that every ladies’, “mi: and child’s coat and cloak in stock has been reduced, it is not to be wondered at that the store should be crowd- ed.

Two brothers, Cucchi by name, villains of the deepest dye, found the neighborhood of Ajaccio too hot to hold them, and re- solved to take refuge in Sartene. They found a small boat upon the beach and de- sired the owner to put out to sea. “Impos- sible,” said the man; “the boat is too small for such a voyage and would certainly founder.” “Do as you are bid,” said the Cucchi, covering him with their guns. Un- der these circumstances the boatman had no alternative; so he got in and they push- ed out to sea. But the waves were high, and by a little dextrous management he contrived to make his boat rock in such a fashion that the bandits became violently sick. “You see I was right,” he coolly re- passengers @ larger boat, but at the bottom of it lay four gendarmes disguised as sailors, and the brothers Cucchi were taken before they had time to discover the trick.
